CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 50: THE TRUTH

This villa was bought secretly by President Zhang behind his wife’s back, mostly for affairs like today’s.

Unlike today, the people who were brought here previously were "willing," but Zhou Xue was deceived.

At this moment, Zhou Xue had fallen into a deep sleep, while President Zhang stood by the bed, his gaze scanning the alluring beauty on the bed.

Zhou Xue’s skin was naturally fair and translucent, and after drinking the spiked wine, her entire body emanated a rosy glow. Coupled with her innocent face, it was even more enticing.

President Zhang scratched his chin, sighing "tsk tsk." It’s not that he didn’t want to do anything to Zhou Xue, nor that he "couldn’t," but he didn’t dare.

Initially, he was enamored by the young and beautiful Zhou Xue, but at that time, she was being heavily promoted by her company. Due to his insufficient status and worrying about his wife at home, he had to give up.

A while ago, someone mentioned it to He Wei, who then approached him, saying he could help him succeed and would cover it up for him, reigniting his suppressed desires.

But He Wei had a requirement: Zhou Xue had to be "clean." She was still Mingsheng’s cash cow, and their actions couldn’t draw He Mingsheng’s attention; otherwise, both he and Zhang would face severe consequences.

And Zhou Xue was discovered and brought up by her manager, so to know more about Zhou Xue’s situation, they just needed to contact her manager.

Through Zhou Xue’s manager, they learned that Zhou Xue’s parents had passed away early, and she only had a fifteen-year-old brother living with their aunt.

When her parents died, Zhou Xue and her brother Zhou Ming were still minors and were sent by the community staff to their aunt’s house, which was also not well-off.

Zhou Xue’s aunt was a conservative woman who silently endured her husband’s occasional beatings and insults. Her uncle, originally hostile towards them, became even more so upon their arrival, behaving sarcastically every day. Despite this, her aunt steadfastly raised them, providing for their education.

Zhou Xue saw all of this and it deepened her desire to earn money.

Just after graduating from junior high, Zhou Xue began a long stint of part-time jobs. Until her sophomore year, she was discovered by her manager and starred in a supporting role in a popular drama, skyrocketing to fame.

Zhou Xue, who gained both fame and fortune, didn’t change due to her circle, still holding on to her principles. Perhaps because she rose to fame so easily, she became less cautious, or maybe it was her trust in her manager that led her to today’s predicament.

——Clack——

Lost in thought beside the bed, President Zhang heard the door open. Turning around, he saw it was indeed He Wei.

"You go out first, and when it’s about time, send everyone who stayed behind away."

As he spoke, He Wei took off his suit jacket and loosened his tie.

"Alright, Vice President."

He Wei paused, glancing subtly at President Zhang, "Tsk. Get going."

Both of them harbored ulterior motives.

After President Zhang went downstairs, he continued the party with others, while Zeng Xu, who had come down earlier, offered a perfect explanation for Zhou Xue’s absence,

"Zhou Xue doesn’t handle alcohol well, she passed out after a single drink, so she’s resting in the room President Zhang lent her."

Everyone downstairs continued to party for nearly two more hours before someone suggested leaving. Once that person spoke up, others echoed the sentiment, eventually leaving only President Zhang and Zeng Xu on the ground floor of the villa.

President Zhang wasn’t aware that Zeng Xu had already seen He Wei.

"Brother Zhang, tonight..."

When no one was around, Zeng Xu changed his manner of address, his tone carrying a hint of ambiguity.

Zeng Xu was testing the waters.

He still held some interest in the situation on the second floor, and he was particularly intrigued by He Wei.

President Zhang could only offer him some resources he didn’t care for, and looking at Zhang’s bloated figure, of course, it was the younger, reasonably handsome He Wei he preferred, especially given He Wei’s position as Vice President of Mingsheng.

Anyone with sense would know what choice to make, and Zeng Xu considered himself a smart person.

President Zhang impatiently frowned, wondering why Zeng Xu was so oblivious, wasn’t his meaning clear enough?

"No time, hurry up and leave."

He said, turning and walking towards the door. He Wei’s meaning was clear earlier, tonight he had no chance.

Upon reaching the door, President Zhang found Zeng Xu still standing there. Thinking he was truly eager, he uncharacteristically placated him with,

"Tonight is really impossible, I have things at home. I have a few scripts on hand, you can choose whichever you like later."

Honestly, Zeng Xu was now a bit disdainful of the scripts President Zhang had. They were just leads in some web dramas, not only did the fans and audience get tired of them, he himself was tired of playing them.

But now, he couldn’t afford to fall out with President Zhang, he still had to flatter him,

"Thank you, Brother Zhang～"

It must be said, although Zeng Xu’s acting wasn’t great, in front of his patron, his acting was noticeably on another level. Looking at his blushing, shy expression now, he truly looked like a compliant little wife to President Zhang.

Over time, President Zhang had become somewhat immune to his act, but compared to his wife at home, he still preferred Zeng Xu’s subtle intimacy.

The two finally left together. After leaving, Zeng Xu thoughtfully took a taxi himself, and President Zhang contentedly drove home.

Regarding the intimacy of the two downstairs, He Wei didn’t care nor did he want to know. He was only "interested" in the beauty on the bed now.

He casually placed his jacket on the sofa in the bedroom, eagerly heading towards the bed.

He slowly leaned down towards Zhou Xue. Initially, when he saw Zhou Xue, he wasn’t so intrigued. At that time, Zhou Xue had a fresh face which didn’t interest him.

But unexpectedly, as time passed, Zhou Xue’s beauty became increasingly radiant, perhaps well-protected, her nature remained somewhat pure. Even after so many years in the industry, she still retained her innocence, which was remarkable.

He Wei wanted to personally shatter her innocence.

Slowly, he slid the pale yellow dress off Zhou Xue, revealing her pure white lace lingerie. The figure that was alluring when clothed, became even more tempting once the clothes were removed.

In the moonlight, her skin radiated a bright white, with a hint of pink brought out by the alcohol.

As Zhou Xue lay in a daze, her red lips slightly parted, perhaps parched from intoxication, her pink tongue gently licked her lips a few times, making her already delicate red lips appear even more moist, revealing a hint of allure amidst her innocence.

He Wei gradually placed himself over Zhou Xue’s fair and flushed body.

The night had only just begun, the night was still long.

And this night, for Zhou Xue, would only bring endless humiliation and torment.
