As soon as Pei Ye descended the stairs, he calmly scanned the surrounding shops. Helpless and clueless about the meeting point, he relied on his sharp eyesight to locate it.
Surprisingly, he managed to find it just like that. He saw two people sitting near the window of a coffee shop across the street, engaged in a conversation with smiles on their faces.
Unlike his cold expression from over a month ago, the person sitting by the window now appeared just as he did when they first met: with a gentle smile, and elegant gestures, resembling a nobleman from ancient paintings.
The man took a sip of coffee and noticed Pei Hui sitting across from him and smiled. In response, Pei Hui provocatively wiped away the coffee stain from the corner of his mouth, all the while under the intense gaze of Pei Ye, who wanted to tear him apart.
That hand…!!!
Before the dark thoughts could fully form, something even more infuriating happened. Fu Xiuran, the person across from him, not only didn’t refuse, but his face turned red.
Red? Blushing…? Blushing!!!
As these words rolled in his mind, Pei Ye, consumed by overwhelming anger, exploded on the spot. He was like a man who discovered his wife was cheating on him, with black air materializing all over his body. With a dark and gloomy expression, he strode toward the coffee shop.
However, before Pei Ye could reach the coffee shop and exact revenge on the “cheating” couple, his ominous gaze fell upon another person first.
“Fu Xiuran!!!”
A sharp voice shattered the tranquility. Gu Weizhou, who was engrossed in bonding with someone, turned his head and saw Cheng Xiaoxiao, whom he hadn’t seen for over a month.
Unlike her usual glamorous appearance, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s face was distorted, almost contorted, revealing the toll the past month had taken on her once fairly attractive features.
Her face had turned ashen, with dark circles under her eyes, and her disheveled hair added to the overall disarray, showcasing the misery Cheng Xiaoxiao had endured during this period.
As Gu Weizhou had suspected, Cheng Xiaoxiao had become a laughingstock within the upper circle ever since that night.
Although many people engaged in commercial marriages were leading separate lives behind closed doors, they still maintained a certain level of public decorum. However, Cheng Xiaoxiao had torn away that façade, exposing herself completely.
Furthermore, with the almost explicit exposure that night, along with visible love bites and hickeys all over her neck, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s fiancé, even if he wanted to cooperate with Ding Sheng, would never willingly wear the cuckold’s hat. That’s why, one week later when Cheng Yuan was discharged, the engagement between Cheng Xiaoxiao and her fiancé was called off.

The more Cheng Yuan thought about it, the angrier he became. In a fit of anger, he terminated all cooperation with Huihai.
Regarding his decision, Gu Weizhou was delighted. He found it repulsive to work with someone like Cheng Yuan, so during that period, he frantically resolved various issues and found new partners. After a busy period, the matter finally came to a close.
Although Ding Sheng used to dominate over Huihai in their collaborations, since Gu Weizhou, who could be considered reincarnated in a certain sense, came into the picture, Huihai’s overall level skyrocketed. They left Ding Sheng far behind, unable to catch up.
So strictly speaking, Ding Sheng’s retaliatory termination of all contracts didn’t directly harm Gu Weizhou. On the contrary, it was Ding Sheng themselves who suffered the loss of collaborating with the rising star Huihai. Within a month, they encountered several setbacks.
Cheng Yuan, who had dug his own grave, ended up in the hospital again. Unable to contend with Gu Weizhou, he turned his anger towards Cheng Xiaoxiao, intending to lower his status and find her another marriage partner. However, to his surprise, the video from that day somehow circulated on the internet.
Now the entire internet had practically seen Cheng Xiaoxiao’s explicit photos, and she had become an indescribable figure in countless people’s private collections.
Staring fixedly at the young man nearby, dressed in glamorous attire and displaying elegant manners, Cheng Xiaoxiao thought about Cheng Yuan’s command to go on a blind date with an old man. Her eyes instantly turned red.
She clearly had a bright and promising future ahead of her, but now… now it had all been ruined by this man.
Seeing Cheng Xiaoxiao’s appearance, as if she wanted to pounce on him and tear him apart, Gu Weizhou didn’t mind. He raised an eyebrow and asked, “It’s been a while since we last met, Miss Cheng… do you have something to discuss?”
Upon hearing these words and seeing his nonchalant demeanor as if nothing had happened, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s entire face twisted.
How dare he ask her if she had something to discuss with him? How dare he!
All the vulgar jokes and dirty remarks circulating online, the mocking eyes of countless people in the upper circle, the disdain from her ex-fiancé after the cancellation of their engagement, and Cheng Yuan shouting at her in anger… In an instant, everything rushed into Cheng Xiaoxiao’s mind, occupying her entire brain.
Without thinking, her face twisted, and Cheng Xiaoxiao pounced fiercely, “Fu Xiuran, you bastard!”
Gu Weizhou, who was constantly attentive to her movements, swiftly evaded her as she lunged forward.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Amidst a series of crashing sounds, Cheng Xiaoxiao failed to grab hold of anyone and instead knocked over all the cups and cans on the table, ending up in a sorry state on the messy floor.
Now the woman on the ground was covered in coffee stains on her once-clean clothes. The shattered porcelain pieces had scratched her exposed skin, leaving streaks of blood. She lay in the filth, looking extremely miserable.
However, Gu Weizhou’s eyes showed no sympathy or remorse for this scene.
In previous cycles of the mission, because he couldn’t harbor any resistance towards Pei Ye, he had played the role of a fool who loved him to death. Cheng Xiaoxiao, this treacherous woman, had used Pei Ye’s hand to try to kill him more than once.
“Miss Cheng, you seem more enthusiastic in throwing yourself at me compared to a month ago,” Gu Weizhou said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. “But… I’m afraid of getting dirty.”
As soon as the word “dirty” was uttered, Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was crouched on the ground and being observed by the onlookers, teetered on the edge of a breakdown, and her rationality completely snapped.
“Fu Xiuran, I’m going to kill you, you bastard!!!”
Just as the woman roared like a madwoman, she grabbed a sharp piece of porcelain from the ground and lunged at Gu Weizhou.
Just like before, he swiftly dodged her attack. Pei Hui, who was standing not far away, immediately moved to step forward upon seeing the dangerous weapon in her hand. However, it was evident that someone else acted even faster than him.
“You had the guts to call him a bastard!”
Pei Ye, with a surge of black energy enveloping him, firmly gripped the slender wrist of the woman holding the weapon, applying so much force that it seemed like he wanted to break it completely.
Startled back to her senses by this familiar voice, Cheng Xiaoxiao abruptly turned her head and recognized the man behind her at a glance. This man was none other than the one she nearly had a sexual encounter within the restroom that night.
Although she didn’t know who this man was, she had fallen in love with him at first sight and didn’t mind having a casual encounter.
However, the man’s actions were too violent and brutal. The pain was excruciating, and she felt as if he was going to tear her apart. Startled and panicked, she pushed him away with a scream, and in her state of confusion, she ran out, unknowingly ending up in the banquet hall, thus leading to everything that followed.
Love at first sight is built on beautiful premises, but now she had lost almost everything. Faced with the man who had made her a laughingstock and ruined her entire life, she didn’t just hate him, she wished she could kill him.
Gu Weizhou witnessed Cheng Xiaoxiao’s contorted face, her eyes bloodshot, as she raised her other hand and slapped the man’s face.
“You bastard!!!”
Seeing her palm striking Pei Ye, Gu Weizhou, who was not far away, couldn’t help but feel a jolt.
The adulterers were actually fighting, and the black lotus even dared to slap King Yama Pei. This plot… is thrilling!
Before he could finish his thoughts, Gu Weizhou heard a clear “crack” sound, and in the next moment…
“Ah!” In the midst of a shrill and tragic scream, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s wrist, which was being held by the man, went limp.
The sudden intense pain caused cold sweat to break out on her forehead. In less than three seconds, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the messy floor.
Thud…
As Pei Ye let go, Cheng Xiaoxiao collapsed lifelessly on the messy ground.
Not far away, the other spectators witnessed this scene, and strangely enough, not a single person dared to speak up.
Some of them recognized Pei Ye’s identity. They knew well that the Pei family was a powerful underground force in the city, and Pei Ye himself was a ruthless killer. If they stood up against him, it’s equivalent to not taking their own lives seriously.
As for those who didn’t recognize Pei Ye’s identity and wanted to step forward and condemn him, before they could even lift their feet, they were petrified by the palpable murderous aura emanating from the man. Their faces turned pale, and they couldn’t even muster the courage to seek justice.
Just as the entire coffee shop fell into silence, Pei Ye suddenly took a big step forward, grabbed Gu Weizhou’s hand not far away, and boldly pulled him out of the coffee shop.
It was only after the two of them left that the people in the coffee shop dared to take out their phones and call for emergency assistance for the unconscious Cheng Xiaoxiao on the ground. As for Pei Hui…
Seeing the departing figures of the two men, Pei Hui first glanced at Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was in an unknown condition on the ground, and then at her hand that had been forcefully dislocated. In his eyes, which still carried a hint of amusement, there was an indescribable meaning.
Huh, it seems that Fu Xiuran holds a much heavier position in Pei Ye’s heart than he had imagined!
ooohhh let’s see what daddy gu is gnna do

Thank you for the chapter.😘
Even though he didn’t help her wasn’t the perpetrator and the ones who took the video for sharing it online the people she should be angry with? But well, I guess it’s not easy to be rational for her. I don’t like her but still I think it’s weird what responses she got about the incident.
Thank you for the chapter 😊
I think it’s easier for her to blame Fu Xiuran. who took the video and who shares it is unknown and random, there’s too many important guests. but she knew Fu Xiuran and he is the host. as a host Fu Xiuran response to her dishelved appearance is not covering her but directly expose her cheating
Kyaaaa I’m trembling out of excitement!! Tysmm for the ch ♡♡♡
This is… awful. The main character is awful. It doesn’t matter what she did, there are NO circumstances in which leaking someone’s nudes doesn’t make you the scum of the earth. We’re supposed to just say oh well he committed sex crimes but it’s fine since the victim was bad? It’s always this way, it’s always the female supporting characters who are given the worst punishments while the worse men live on in luxury and power merrily killing anyone they want. This makes me sick.
you have no idea. hehe… his heart is completely dominated, even if its something he doesn’t want, he wont be able to hold back… hehe
