Wu Jing put down his phone on his desk bitterly. Why does it seem like what he thought yesterday is coming true? Does he think that I'm going to let him go?
Did A-Xuan not hear him? Not only did he leave this morning without telling him, but now he's clearly putting distance between them.
He could feel his coldness through the phone and his reluctance to speak to him. He was disappointed when the youth told him to leave town; he didn't seem to care if he wouldn't be able to see him for two weeks.
Does he care so little about me? No, he can feel that the youth feels drawn to him as well, it was hard to explain, but he does feel it. What worries him is if it ends there and A-Xuan has no feelings. Why would he keep his distance?
Wu Jing heard a voice from a memory in his head; he would recognize it anywhere since it was his baby.
"Shouldn't you be more worried about your future with Mrs. Wang?"
Wu Jing immediately sat up. Wait, does he think he is with Wang Zi Wei? That's insane, he never took that engagement seriously.
First, it was made by his father when he was 7, and second, it was an oral agreement that can be broken at any time.
He never mentions it publicly because he never even considered it, if the youth thought they were engaged that means everyone must be thinking that as well.
After 30 minutes of research, Wu Jing slammed his computer forcefully. He angrily greeted between his teeth: "Wang Ling, Wang Zi Wei!"
Like father, like daughter, isn't it? While the former uses this so-called engagement and my company's name to further his own, the latter posts on every social media that she's the future Mrs. Wu.
Wu Jing started to tap his finger on the desk, thinking. Since I'm leaving for the next two weeks, might as well pay a visit to my family-in-law.
His assistant who saw all of this unfold lit a candle in her heart to the Wang family and Wang Inc. After his boss is done with them, they're sure to become bankrupt.
Yunchen came in and sat at a back table at Vienmanger waiting for Jinyan. He sent a text reminding Chu Qian to send him pictures and videos of last night.
Now that he is here waiting for the woman that he loves and is close to getting everything he wants, he feels in a much happier mood.
The whole morning, he couldn't stop thinking about last night and the circumstances that led him there. If it wasn't for A-Xuan, none of this would've happened.
But today he'll pay for everything. He got up when he saw Jinyan approaching and pulled the chair for her. She smiled sweetly and took a seat. They ordered food and talked about their life and future.
Every once in a while, Yunchen would check his phone to see if Chu Qian sent him the files. Jinyan excused herself to go to the bathroom.
Yunchen immediately took his phone and when he was about to call, he received multiple files. He stopped and opened them; they were pictures and videos.
He clicked on the first video and immediately froze, he just watched, not moving or blinking as if he didn't want to miss even a little of what he was seeing.
In this video, he saw himself begging Chu Qian to fuck him. Subsequently, you could hear loud moans, the person in the video was clearly enjoying himself. He kept screaming harder until he finally passed out.
Jinyan came out of the bathroom and sat, when she looked up, she saw that Yunchen was pale. She was about to ask what was wrong, but she grabbed her phone when she received a text with a link in it.
She clicked and found herself in the university forum. She saw a video that was trending and clicked. Jinyan was immediately shocked and speechless at the sight.
Yunchen was still in a trance when the video ended, but when he heard familiar moans he immediately woke up and lifted his head.
He saw Jinyan looking at him with disgust and immediately grabbed her phone. Someone posted the video on the school forum. No, this can't be happening! Now the whole world is going to know.
He tossed the phone back and ran out. He got into his car and checked again. The video was trending and after doing some research he saw that the video was posted on multiple platforms.
Shaking with anger and humiliation, he called Chu Qian, but he immediately heard that the number was no longer available.
He slammed his fist on the steering wheel, breathing heavily. That son of a bitch betrayed me, he didn't just fuck A-Xuan he fucked me too. There's no way I'm going down alone, if we both end up in the same situation, surely father will choose his biological son as the heir. He needs to get those pictures and videos of A-Xuan from Chu Qian.
On the way to Chu Qian's home, Yunchen called his assistant so she would take down every video and picture that were uploaded. Yunchen got out of his car and started to bang forcefully against the door of Chu Qian's home.
An elderly woman opened and asked, "What can I do for you?"
Yunchen immediately calmed down and asked politely with a smile, "Hello grandma, I'm a friend of Chu Qian. Can I speak to him, please?"
The old woman answered with tears in her eyes, "He's in jail, the police came to arrest him."
What the hell is going on?
How can he be in jail? Is it for what he did to him? No, it can't be. He didn't file a complaint against him yet.
"Why did they arrest him?"
"For illegally distributing pornography."
Is that why he did this to him too, to distribute and sell the film? If that was his goal all along, it means that he took multiple videos of his time with A-Xuan. I just need to get his phone.
Yunchen asked, "Do you know where his cellphone is?"
"The police took it as evidence."
"FUCK!"
At this burst of anger, the elderly woman immediately slammed the door and ran to hide. Yunchen walked back to his car and sat in silence. God has forsaken me, he must've.
Now A-Xuan's tape is never going to see the light of day while he is everywhere. Father is never going to let me run Cao Empire. He turned the engine on and started to drive randomly.
A-Xuan was in his room watching Yunchen's reaction when he found out his tape was made public. He watched as he ran out of the restaurant, feeling very pleased with himself.
He did foresee that he would go straight to Chu Qian's house, that's why he sent him to jail very early in the morning.
Furthermore, he also saw that someone was trying to remove the pictures and videos, but every time they would, two more would be uploaded. They might as well give up.
He closed his laptop and went to take a shower to get ready for his date, but before that, he wants to see Papa Cao's reaction to Yunchen coming back home.
A-Xuan hacked Cao Empire's security camera a long time ago and saw how he destroyed his entire office out of anger when he saw his proud son being fucked by a man.
When A-Xuan came down and entered the living room, he could already feel the heavy atmosphere. Papa Cao was red, and his fists were clenched at his sides as he stared at the front door, unmoving.
A-Xuan sat on the sofa waiting for the show to start. He saw on the system that Yunchen is walking toward the door.
As soon as Yunchen opened the door, he heard a roar directed his way:
"Yunchen, come here right now!"
Yunchen walked reluctantly toward the living room. He could clearly see how furious his father was.
He also saw A-Xuan sitting behind him with a smirk on his face. He was shocked silly. Never in his life has his brother ever mocked him, but here he is with that proud look on his face and that stupid smirk.
He dares mock him when he just got lucky that Chu Qian got arrested before he released his sex tape too. This is all his fault and he won't rest until he makes his life miserable.
When Yunchen reached his father, he immediately received a slap and stared back at him shocked. He blinked rapidly, not knowing what to say or feel.
After yelling, Papa Cao slapped him again, but this time harder:
"You thought that with Xuan Tech stealing all our clients and losing Wu Corporation as our biggest partner, we were having too much of a good time? So, what you decided to make things better for us, is that it?"
After that second slap, Yunchen could feel his jaw aching. He looked up and stammered:
"F-Father this isn't what you think, I was drugged he..."
Before he could finish, he was cut off and heard his father roaring:
"I don't give a damn what led to that, all I care about is that your tape being leaked has caused major damage to my company!"
Yunchen bowed his head in silence. What can he even say? It's the truth.
Papa Cao walked to sit next to A-Xuan on the couch and put a hand on his shoulder and said warmly, like he wasn't angry a few seconds before:
"I'm so grateful that you are the heir of the Cao Empire. Thanks to your plan, we'll be able to do some damage control."
A-Xuan smiled and said:
"Of course, father. You know I only want Cao Empire to succeed. I would never do anything that would tarnish its reputation."
After those words, he looked up and smiled innocently at Yunchen. When he saw him clenching his fists in anger, he was satisfied enough with the show.
He got up and said to his father:
"I have to go, I have a date with Jinyan at her house."
Hearing that, Papa Cao was extremely pleased. At least he has a son who isn't completely useless. If his son marries Jinyan, he is sure to get Wu Corporation in the future.
A-Xuan started walking but then turned and said:
"Father, while we deal with this crisis, don't throw Yunchen out of the house."
Hearing that, Yunchen immediately looked at A-Xuan angrily. Who said he was going to throw me out? Why would he even give him those kinds of ideas? If anyone deserves to be thrown out, it's him. He doesn't belong in this family.
Yunchen looked at his father to see if he indeed intended to throw him out. He saw the hesitation on his face before he heard him say:
"I won't, don't worry son. I'll listen to you. Yunchen, you should thank your big brother for pleading for you. God knows you don't deserve it."
Yunchen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the first part, but at the rest, he felt deep hatred.
Now he has to thank him, or his father, with his volatile temper, might throw him out. He turned and said through clenched teeth:
"Thank you, brother."
A-Xuan answered and left the house:
"Don't thank me, I'm just worried you'll do something stupider if you're outside alone with no one looking after you."
At those words, Yunchen felt his whole body tremble in rage. He left and slammed the door of his room shut.
On the way to his date, A-Xuan felt furious. Papa Cao, what a joke he is. He acted as if he loved them both the same, even if the original was adopted, but that was never the case.
When the pictures and videos of the original were released, Papa Cao immediately threw him on the street without even thinking.
He didn't even hesitate for a second, but now his biological son is the one on videos and all he got is two slaps?
No disparity, my ass. He only saw him as a chess piece from the moment he adopted him. The only reason he went through with the adoption is that he didn't know whether his wife was going to have a girl or a boy.
And to him, god forbid a woman to try to run his company. He is a disgusting pig. When he said that he was leaving for his date with Jinyan, he saw the ambition in Papa Cao's eyes. You'll lose everything soon enough.
