GTFSFR 22




 Chapter 22 The 22nd Day of Hate


When Xia Yiwen returned to the Xia Family, it was already dark.

He chased Shi Wei's car all the way to the Waldorf Hotel. He wanted to grab Shi Wei and ask what happened on the night of the engagement.

But as soon as he entered the Waldorf Hotel, he was thrown out by the hotel security.

——Waldorf was a hotel under the name of Shengshi Group.

Xia Yiwen couldn't see Shi Wei, nor could he contact her. He had no choice but to return home.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Xia Duoduo sobbing softly as she threw herself into her mother's arms.

Mother Xia stroked Xia Duoduo's hair, feeling extremely distressed, "Duoduo, tell me, did Shi Wei let Director Chen bully you?"

"Mom, you... don't ask, I don't want to make it difficult for you..." Xia Duoduo's nose sniffed and her deer-like eyes were filled with tears.

"I knew it must have been Shi Wei who did it!" Mother Xia was fuming, "You are her younger sister after all. How can she do this to you! And let others bully you!"

Sitting at the side playing mobile games, Xia Yuanzhou frowned when he heard this.

"Mom, how can you tell that it was Shi Wei who instigated Director Chen to bully Elder Sister Duo? Didn't Shi Wei go to visit Elder Sister Duo?"

"Who else would do this if not her?" Mother Xia curled her lips, "As soon as she returned to the Xia Family, she competed with Duoduo for favor. How can she be so shallow? What kind of family is our Xia Family? Is it necessary to compete?"

Mother Xia turned to Xia Duoduo with extreme pity, "It’s still Duoduo who is more good. She has been raised by my side since little and has received a better education. She doesn't fight or compete. Alas, if Shi Wei is half as good as you, it would be great."

Xia Yuanzhou felt irked.

As soon as he got home, he heard Xia Duoduo crying and went to the Internet to investigate the ins and outs of the matter.

For some reason the Internet marketed the CP of Young Master Sheng and Elder Sis Duo, but no matter what, it wasn’t Shi Wei's fault! Shi Wei only talked about her relationship with Young Master Sheng. It was the truth, so how could it be that she and Xia Duoduo were competing for favor?

Besides, why would Shi Wei get Director Chen make it difficult for Xia Duoduo? The projects invested by Shengshi will be Shi Wei's money in the future. Was it necessary for her to tease Xia Duoduo with her own investment projects?

But it was strange that once encountering such a thing, whether it was him, his parents, or his eldest brother, they would immediately think that it was Shi Wei who was competing for favor and Shi Wei who was making it difficult for Duoduo...

Thinking carefully, was this really the case?

Xia Yuanzhou’s mood seemed to remain down. Not a great feeling.

Looking up, he saw Xia Yiwen coming back.

"Elder Brother!"

Xia Yuanzhou stood up excitedly.

He had just enquired with Xia Yiwen's assistant, Xia Yiwen had met Shi Wei and went to the set to find Shi Wei today. He was planning to bring Shi Wei home!

Xia Yuanzhou looked around Xia Yiwen, but didn't see the person he wanted to see.

The smile on his face gradually faded.

Even his eldest brother didn't bring Shi Wei back.

It seemed Shi Wei was truly angry.

Xia Yiwen saw Xia Yuanzhou's expression.

He wasn't angry. But like Xia Yuanzhou, he felt depressed.

When he entered the door, he heard the conversation between Mother Xia and Xia Duoduo. In the past, he and Mother Xia had always been the one who scolded Shi Wei. But today, recalling Shi Wei's cold eyes in the lounge, Xia Yiwen could no longer say such cruel words.

He thought that Shi Wei came back to compete for favor.

What if... she wasn’t?

The bank card she returned to the Xia Family was still in Xia Yiwen's pocket. Xia Yiwen asked his assistant to check it. 10 million or so was all the pocket money that the Xia Family had given Shi Wei in the past four years. She didn't touch a penny of the principal and interest.

Back then, she came to the Xia Family for money.

But now it seemed that she didn't do it for money.

Xia Yiwen didn't dare to ponder deeply.

The more she pondered about it, the more he felt unbearable

When Xia Duoduo saw Xia Yiwen, her resentment for forgetting and abandoning her today surged up again.

She looked at Xia Yiwen with a sad face.

Usually, as long as she looked at Xia Yiwen with grievance, Xia Yiwen would definitely react and rub her head to coax her.

In order to please her, Xia Yiwen would give her millions of pocket money or help her buy some limited edition bags that were hard to buy.

Today, Xia Duoduo believed that there would be no exception.

She looked at Xia Yiwen pitifully, her eyes full of grievance.

This time, she wouldn't forgive Xia Yiwen so easily. She must get him to help her teach Xia Shiwei a lesson!

Seeing Xia Yiwen approaching her, Xia Duoduo's heart was filled with joy.

The next second, Xia Yiwen passed by Xia Duoduo and walked up to Xia Yuanzhou.

The expression on Xia Duoduo's face froze instantly and the joy in her eyes was gone.

Xia Yiwen didn't notice Xia Duoduo's disappointment. His mind was full of Shi Wei. Seeing Xia Yuanzhou, he stopped in front of Xia Yuanzhou without hesitation, "Come out with me."

Xia Yuanzhou was confused.

Usually at this time, wouldn't he, Eldest Brother who doted on his younger sister, pay attention to Xia Duoduo? Now he ignored Xia Duoduo and came to talk to him instead?

But Xia Yuanzhou had always listened to Xia Yiwen and obediently followed Xia Yiwen to the garden.

"What happened on the night of Shi Wei's engagement?"

Xia Yiwen didn't beat around the bush. As soon as he arrived at the garden, he asked Xia Yiwen directly.

Xia Yuanzhou was stunned. Why did Eldest Brother suddenly bring up what happened on the night of the engagement?

Elder Sister Duo said that their parents were old and might be worried if they knew the truth. And it would affect the business of the Xia and Ye families.

But Xia Yiwen was young, so it wouldn't matter if he knew it, right?

Then Xia Yuanzhou told Xia Yiwen everything he had heard from the Ye Family's birthday party.

"Such a big matter happened! How can you and Duoduo hide it from us!"

Xia Yiwen's face turned pale. He thought it was a small matter like ignoring Shi Wei's emotions at most, but unforeseen that Shi Wei would actually...

At that time, their family was in the hospital and only Shi Wei was at the engagement party. If it weren't for Young Master Sheng's timely arrival, the consequences would be disastrous!

The more Xia Yiwen pondered about it, the colder he felt in his heart.

"Elder Sister Duo didn't let me tell... She is worried that Dad and Mom would be angry..." Xia Yuanzhou whispered. 

"Besides, Eldest Brother, do you really think that Shi Wei left because of what happened on the night of the engagement?" Xia Yiwen paused.

When Shi Wei was in trouble, they, her family members weren’t by her side. It was indeed too much.

But in the final analysis, it was Ye Yu, not the Xia Family, who caused her trouble.

"I think even if there was no incident that night, Shi Wei would have left." Xia Yuanzhou said, "She tried so hard to integrate into our family, but we still pushed her away."

Xia Yiwen thought of what Mother Xia just said in the villa to scold Shi Wei.

Yes, if it was her and she met such a family that was so partial... If it was him, he would want to leave.

Xia Yiwen sighed helplessly.

"Elder Brother, what should we do now?" Xia Yuanzhou said anxiously, "You can't bring Shi Wei back. Shi Wei won't ever come back, right?"

"We are one family after all," Xia Yiwen stated firmly, "Don't tell our parents about this. They will be sad if they know that Shi Wei and the Xia Family broke up... I will persuade Shi Wei again. After all, she cares so much about family. I think there is still room for change."

Xia Yuanzhou sighed.

"It can only be like this."

On the other side

Shengshi Manor

Shi Wei was changing clothes in front of the full-length mirror when the system suddenly popped up.

"Host! Xia Duoduo is slandering you on the Internet again!"

Shi Wei's beautiful eyebrows condensed. Soon, the system posted the slanderous content of Xia Duoduo on the Internet to the system panel.

Lin Yanyan used her verified account to reprimand Xia Duoduo for being unprofessional, causing Xia Duoduo to lose a wave of fans and was mocked by netizens as ‘knowing three, be three’. Of course, Xia Duoduo couldn't surrender, but used a marketing account to post screenshots of her chat with Sheng Jingchen.

In the screenshots, the two spoke in an intimate tone and from time to time there were some sweet words such as ‘love you’, ‘kiss kiss’, and ‘muah’.

All these proved that Xia Duoduo and Sheng Jingchen had a close relationship.

Then, the marketing account secretly guided and hinted the Xia Family and the Sheng Family had an engagement long ago and the engaged parties were Xia Duoduo and Sheng Jingchen, but unexpectedly, Xia Shiwei schemed to snatch Xia Duoduo's position as fiancée.

The person Sheng Jingchen loved from beginning to end was Xia Duoduo.

【I was saying that our Duoduo couldn't be a mistress. The fiancée was originally Duoduo! 】

【No wonder Xia Shiwei, that woman, bullied our Duoduo many times. She was jealous that Young Master Sheng liked our Duoduo! 】

【What's the use of occupying the position of fiancée now, Young Master Sheng doesn't love her at all! 】

【I saw a marketing account saying that Xia Shiwei is the adopted daughter of the Xia Family. After being adopted, she snatched away Duoduo's fiancé. What an ungrateful person! 】

【? Damn, then doesn't this mean that she lives in Duoduo's house and snatches away Duoduo's man? And she uses the power of Young Master Sheng to suppress Duoduo? 】

【How can Xia Shiwei be so mean! She even hired a group of netizens to say that our Duoduo is a mistress. The mistress is the one who isn't loved amidst love! 】

"How can Xia Duoduo be so shameless!" Looking at the comments on the Internet, the system’s emoji face was twisted into a ball in anger, "You are with the villain and she is still like this!"

"You forgot that Sheng Jingchen will realize his feelings for Xia Duoduo later." Shi Wei said indifferently, "And from her perspective, the Sheng and Xia families are old friends and Grandmother Sheng and Grandmother Xia have arranged marriages for two younger generations. Wasn't it me who came back and replaced Xia Duoduo's position?"

The Xia Family had always doted on Xia Duoduo and Xia Duoduo had no sense that she was a fake daughter. On the contrary, she believed that Shi Wei shouldn’t come back at all.

"But this chat screenshot..." The system frowned, "It's not photoshopped! The villain and Xia Duoduo are so greasy when chatting?"

Shi Wei looked at the chat screenshot sent by the system. The ‘Sheng Jingchen’ in it was really eye-catching.

Many people were different online than in reality. Was Sheng Jingchen the same?

The plot of the novel was indeed correct. Xia Duoduo and Sheng Jingchen had a relationship.

Shi Wei didn't bother to care about their grievances. To her, both of them were tools for brushing up points.

She changed into a sexy black dress with suspenders and walked out of the room.

Tonight, she had other things to do~

Blues Bar in the capital

At eight o'clock in the evening, Shi Wei and Ye Wenqing came to the Blues Bar.

Since Chen Wei and Zhuge Kaorou were locked in the small black room, the two of them speedily typed and the script outline came out quickly. It received the platform’s recognition. On the other side, the new office of W2 was renovated. Everyone officially went to work on the first day. In the evening, the bosses invited everyone to team building together~

Out of the two major shareholders of W2, Shi Wei's shareholding ratio was larger than Ye Wenqing. Shi Wei knew that Ye Wenqing had been tempered in Ye Group and knew how to operate the company better, so Ye Wenqing was still the CEO, while Shi Wei was responsible for project development.

Everyone came to the Blues Bar to celebrate the smooth development of W2 and the project!

After three rounds of drinks, everyone was a little drunk.

At this time, Ye Wenqing suddenly came to Shi Wei's side, poked Shi Wei's waist with her little hand, "Young Master Sheng cares about you much. All the news on the Internet had been removed."

"Removed?"

Shi Wei was a little surprised.

In fact, when Xia Duoduo was marketing the rich CP, Sheng Jingchen had removed the hot search once. But at that time, Shi Wei thought that it was Assistant Lin who removed it on his own initiative.

This time...

It should be Assistant Lin, right?

Sheng Jingchen was busy with all kinds of things, how could he have time to take care of this?

The two didn't talk about Sheng Jingchen's affairs in depth. Today was W2's home court, why bother with those men!

Although Ye Wenqing was an eldest miss, she was a heiress and was quite broad-minded. After a few rounds of drinking and playing a few rounds of games, everyone got bolder. Simple games could no longer satisfy everyone, so the Blues Bar brought up the heavy game-

Hosts!

Eight handsome men with sturdy bodies over 1.8 meters tall lined up in front of Shi Wei and Ye Wenqing. They wore cute rabbit headbands on their heads, while their well-cut white shirts outlined their muscular muscles.

One of the hosts trembled and the yellow foamy beer spilled on the white shirts of other hosts. The wet shirts stuck to the abdominal muscles, with clear textures, and half-exposed and shy. It made them more beautiful~

Shi Wei's eyes sparkled, "Elder Sister, you play so free! ^3^"

"Anyway, Sheng Jingchen isn't here, play however you want! I'll pay for tonight!" Ye Wenqing waved her arm and the whole audience cheered. More wine was spilled on the hosts and there was a scene of decadence and luxury.

Capital Airport

A private plane stopped at Capital Airport at around nine in the evening.

Sheng Jingchen got off the private plane and got into the Bentley parked next to the airport.

"Young Master Sheng, this was the report document for this meeting,"

In the front row, Assistant Zhou handed two documents to Sheng Jingchen, "The meeting will be held at the company headquarters tomorrow. Should we go to the company or return to the villa now?"

Usually, after finishing the social activities at nine o'clock, Sheng Jingchen would return to the company and work for another two hours. But today, Sheng Jingchen suddenly thought of the kitten at home.

"Have all the comments on the Internet been dealt with?" Sheng Jingchen asked.

"All dealt with." Assistant Zhou said respectfully.

Assistant Zhou was Sheng Jingchen's life assistant, mainly responsible for his life and trivial matters when traveling. Assistant Lin was Sheng Jingchen's assistant as the president, responsible for the affairs of Sheng Jingchen's company.

Assistant Zhou's work ability was far inferior to Assistant Lin. But he was the young master of the Zhou Family, the same age as Sheng Jingchen and used to go to the same high school. Later, the Zhou Family fell into poverty. Sheng Jingchen considered how he had some old friendship with the Zhou Family and asked Assistant Zhou to be his personal assistant.

"Where is the source of the photo?" Sheng Jingchen asked again, "Have you checked it?"

Assistant Zhou: "The other party used an overseas IP. It isn't easy to check. However, I think the other party most likely photoshopped it, probably to take advantage of Shengshi's popularity. Young Master Sheng, there are many such people, you don't have to take it to heart."

Sheng Jingchen frowned.

This was why he felt Assistant Zhou wasn't as good as Assistant Lin.

Assistant Lin wouldn't say that when encountering such a thing and would handle it immediately as well as immediately finding out the authenticity of the photo and find the initiator behind it. Not muddling through it like Assistant Zhou.

Sheng Jingchen sighed.

He never cared about this news. Since he became the president of Shengshi, many women who wanted to use him to get promoted have appeared around him.

But he had a niggling feeling that this time was different.

Especially when he remembered that Shi Wei always kept mentally muttering how ‘he and Xia Duoduo have an affair.’ He inexplicably felt that that incident was related to this incident.

Thinking of Shi Wei, Sheng Jingchen couldn't help but have a headache again.

"Is Shi Wei asleep?" Sheng Jingchen asked suddenly.

Assistant Zhou paused, "Young Master Sheng, Housekeeper Wu said that Miss Xia isn't at home tonight."

"Not at home?" Sheng Jingchen was stunned. What time was it now? Not at home in the middle of the night?

If not at home... Sheng Jingchen's eyes dimmed while his gaze sharpened, "Then where is she?"

-

Twenty minutes later, Sheng Jingchen came to the Blues Bar.

The colorful lights blurred his vision. He walked through rows of booths and finally saw Shi Wei in the largest suite of the Blues Bar.

At this time, she was wearing a sexy black dress with suspenders. Her proud cleavage was faintly peeked out on her chest.

A young man sitting in front of her was drinking with her. He gently grabbed her hand and smiled at Shi Wei in a flattering way, "Elder Sister, you can take me home. I'm good and have good physical strength!"

The wine soaked the young man's shirt. Shi Wei blushed when she saw his ravine-like muscles.

"No! Wild flowers can only be played outside, not taken home!"

Although Shi Wei was drunk, she would never be fooled by the little milk dog who was drinking with her. Sheng Jingchen, the villain, was being worshiped at home! If she brought another one back, wouldn't Sheng Jingchen kill her?

"But, when I break off the engagement, then it’s fine..."

Hehe, after the break the engagement, she and Sheng Jingchen will each go their own path. At that time, she will invite 18 young men to drink with her, wearing leather jackets and leather pants to dance for her in the villa every day!

The drinking companion got closer to Shi Wei, "Elder Sister, you must not forget me!" 

He got closer and closer, almost kissing Shi Wei's cheek. 

Before Shi Wei could respond, she was suddenly suspended in the air, the world spun, and was embraced by a strong hand. 

"Xia Shiwei! Wake up!" 

Sheng Jingchen's face was ashen. Frowning, he looked at the person in his arms coldly. 

Shi Wei tilted her head. Her brain still dazed, but after seeing the man in front of her clearly, her eyes brightened, as if there were little stars in her eyes. 

"Wow! Younger Brother, you and Sheng Jingchen look alike! Both are so good-looking!" 

She held Sheng Jingchen's face with both hands and played with it like playing with plasticine, "When Sheng Jingchen and I break off the engagement, you will come to my house to dance. You are the most handsome. I will support you and make you the top star, okay?" 

Sheng Jingchen: ? ? ? 

He didn't know for a moment whether he should be angry that Shi Wei wanted to support a little milk dog, or should he be happy that she praised him for being handsome.

Ye Wenqing wasn't much more sober than Shi Wei. Seeing Sheng Jingchen hugging Shi Wei, she hurried forward, "Weiwei, this handsome guy is more handsome than Sheng Jingchen, you should support him! It's worth it!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Shi Wei nodded like pounding garlic, "I think so too! Sheng Jingchen, that turtle bastard, only has Xia Duoduo in his heart!"

She looked at Sheng Jingchen, holding his face, forcing him to look directly at her, "You are different. I spent money. You can only have me in your heart, do you understand?!"

Sheng Jingchen: "..."

What was this! What was this!

If you can't drink, don't drink!

But... Sheng Jingchen looked at Shi Wei and squinted his eyes.

In the past, when he heard Shi Wei talking to the system, saying that he only had Xia Duoduo in his heart, Shi Wei's tone was mostly disdainful at that time. But today, he heard a different meaning from it.

Aggrieved.

While she was drunk and crazy, she inadvertently mentioned Xia Duoduo, but still felt aggrieved and depressed.

Initially when Sheng Jingchen saw this scene, a fire brewed within.

But at this moment, he was no longer angry.
