Once they entered the private room, Lin Mingxi stepped forward and waited outside the door instead of entering immediately.

Gu Beicheng was sitting on the couch inside the room while Bu Xianxian was sitting opposite him.

She was dressed in a low-cut dress that ended at her thighs. She sat in the chair with one leg over the other, exposing her fair and bare thigh.

She had practiced her postures and mannerisms multiple times at home and had long known how to make herself resemble An Xiaoning more.

Staring at her, Gu Beicheng said, “You haven’t spoken a word since we sat down. Two minutes have already pa.s.sed.”

Bu Xianxian asked, “Mr. Gu, do you need a lover? If you do, would you consider me?”

Despite having lived to this age and met all sorts of people, he had truly never encountered someone like her before.

He had gotten a real eyeopener today.

“Which part of me tells you that I need a lover?” he asked with a smile.

Noticing that he did not seem too hostile, Bu Xianxian thought she stood a chance and answered while also smiling, “Firstly, your wife is currently pregnant. Secondly, I’ve heard that you used to adore An Xiaoning but you never got to win her heart because of Jin Qingyan. I resemble her greatly. I should be able to fulfill your fantasies. Besides, I’m not asking for much. You just have to give me 100 thousand dollars a month. That should be peanuts to you, right?”

Gu Beicheng had a mirthless smile on his face.

“Not only have you insulted me and Xiaoning, you’ve also insulted yourself. How could you have the cheek to compare yourself to Xiaoning with that face of yours? You do resemble her, but you’re not identical-looking. You can’t hold a candle to her at all. Aren’t you a little too thick-skinned to be promoting and hard-selling yourself so desperately? The nightclubs in A City are probably in need of some club hostesses. You may try applying for that job. My wife is indeed pregnant, but she looks a hundred times better than you,” Gu Beicheng gibed before standing up and walking away.

The smile on Bu Xianxian’s face vanished as she sprung up from her seat and grabbed his arm tightly. “Are you really not going to consider my offer? How about 50 thousand dollars a month?”

“I don’t want it, even if it’s five dollars a month. Back off.” He pushed Bu Xianxian onto the couch.

Shock was written all over his face the moment he opened the door.

Staring at his smiling wife, Gu Beicheng asked, “What brings you here?”

“To make things clear beforehand, I didn’t come here to do a spot check or to supervise you. I don’t distrust you either. It’s just that my former colleague from the fitness center had given me a call to say that he had seen you here. The thing is…” She pointed at Bu Xianxian and continued, “I heard that a brazen hussy was throwing herself at you so I rushed here immediately.”

Gu Beicheng smiled and said, “Oh, I see. Let’s go home.”

“Nah, since we’re already here, let’s stay. I’ve already heard the conversation you had with her just now.” She walked past Gu Beicheng and entered the room.

It had never crossed Bu Xianxian’s mind that Lin Mingxi would show up at the nightclub.

She was dumbfounded.

At the sight of her, Bu Xianxian stood up from the couch, thinking that Lin Mingxi was going to talk to her. To her astonishment, Lin Mingxi launched a foot toward her gut and kicked her onto the ground, completely catching her off guard.

Bu Xianxian landed on the coffee table and winced in pain before standing up. Lin Mingxi walked toward Bu Xianxian and gave her a few tight slaps right in front of Gu Beicheng.

She snapped, “You wh.o.r.e, why don’t you just die!?!”

Boiling with fury, Bu Xianxian dared not speak a word and instead just placed a hand on her face, knowing that she was at fault.

Lin Mingxi glowered at her and warned, “Stop throwing yourself at my husband. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being nasty.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed Gu Beicheng’s arm and walked away.

Anger surged through Bu Xianxian’s veins.

She thought that she would definitely succeed tonight. To her astonishment, her plan had gone awry.

She had been devising her plan for several days before executing it tonight.

She’d decided to come up with such a plan because she needed a cash cow to provide for her each month.

She initially thought that Gu Beicheng would be enticed because she resembled An Xiaoning. However, she could barely attract him.

To make matters worse, she was even slapped a few times.

Bu Xianxian placed a hand on her face and grabbed her bag before leaving the room.

Bu Xianxian was filled with a mix of emotions throughout her journey home.

She returned to Sanqiao Estate.

Her parents had yet to go to bed and were watching some television in the living room.

“Xianxian, what happened to your face?” Mrs. Bu asked.

“I was slapped by someone,” Bu Xianxian said nonchalantly.

“Who hit you? And why?”

“Let’s not talk about it. It’s so annoying. I’m going back to my room to sleep,” said Bu Xianxian, who headed straight back to her room. Just as Mrs. Bu was about to follow her inside, Bu Xianxian slammed the door shut and locked her outside.

“You stubborn child. Why don’t you ever tell us anything?” Mrs. Bu said worriedly. She then said to Mr. Bu, “Our daughter has been bullied.”

“Look at what she’s wearing. She was obviously up to something indecent.”

“How could you say that? Xianxian must feel terrible too,” Mrs. Bu chided.

“…”

The number of casualties of the office tower explosions continued to rise. By the time Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning arrived in M Nation, the hospitals were all packed with wounded victims of the terrorist attack. The entire office tower was destroyed completely and had become unrecognizable.

Jin Qingyan was well aware that the terrorists would be launching an attack on the other branch offices next if he did not take some serious action.

Thus, he immediately called Pei Yi and instructed him to relay a message.

“What is it?”

“Tell your people in the headquarters that I’ll be exacting my revenge on you people within the shortest possible time. Since you had the audacity to destroy my office tower, I’ll have the same amount of guys to bomb your headquarters. Prepare yourselves mentally. Just you wait and see.”

After a moment of silence, Pei Yi said, “I suggest you stop wasting your efforts. Perhaps they won’t be taking any more action after this attack. If you retaliate, there’ll probably be no end to this.”

“So what if there’s no end to it? Xihou Jiaping was so invincible but he still died in the end. Do you scoundrels think you can own the world with those guns and grenades of yours? Dream on!” Jin Qingyan barked menacingly.

In the past, Pei Yi would have definitely sneered at his words. However, he was well aware that Jin Qingyan must be powerful enough to have been able to defeat the formidable Xihou Jiaping.

“What do you want?”

“You’ll find out very soon. I just want you to relay my message.” As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Qingyan ended the call immediately. He exited the bathroom to see that An Xiaoning was having her meal on the couch. He said, “I’m going out for a while.”

“Where to? I’ll go with you, it’s inconvenient for you to move about right now,” said An Xiaoning.
