Chapter 13 Giving Him a Check
- “Ah!” Li Qianhui shrieked while kicking Mr. Wang, who was on top of her. “Let go of me, Mr. Wang. Look at me clearly, I’m not Xia Micheng. You’ve got the wrong person!”
- Mr. Wang seemed to have lost his mind and kept on pulling Li Qianhui’s clothes. “Beauty, stop struggling. The more you struggle, the more excited I’ll get! Hahaha.”
- “Let me go! Help, help!” Li Qianhui was screaming at the top of her lungs.
- Bang! The door was knocked open as a group of uniformed police rushed in. “We have just received a report that illegal prostitution is taking place here. We are going to bring the both of you back to the station for an investigation!”
- The police had held Mr. Wang down.
- Li Qianhui, who was still in shock, hastily tidied up her clothing. “What do you mean by illegal prostitution? We didn’t do anything! We don’t want to go to the police station!”
- “Please cooperate with us. Bring them along!”
- ……
- Li Qianhui was clueless about what just happened and she was being forcibly taken away by the police. When they passed by the bar in the lobby, everyone surrounded them.
- Li Qianhui was the queen of motion pictures in her generation; she gradually distanced herself from the world of entertainment after being married to Xia Chunyang, but she was still a praised actress by society.
- People soon recognized her.
- “Look, that woman is the movie queen, Li Qianhui!”
- “Oh my God. What happened to Li Qianhui? Why is she being taken away?”
- “Can’t you see what’s going on? I heard that she is caught red-handed while sleeping with the owner of a mall. The fat guy in front is her lover.”
- “Hurry up and snap some pictures. This is incredible news!”
- Over the years, Li Qianhui had been spending loads of money in order to maintain her good reputation, but she was now being taken away for illegal prostitution and her picture was being snapped by the surrounding audience. Being unable to take it, she broke down and screamed, “Stop taking pictures! All of you, stop it!”
- ……
- In the meantime, Xia Chunyang was socializing with a few owners of six-stars hotels. The hotel owners were chuckling as someone said, “President Xia, why didn’t Mrs. Xia come along today?”
- When Li Qianhui was younger, she was in the entertainment industry, hence she had wide connections as well as being smooth and slick. She had been assisting Xia Chunyang as his right arm ever since they were married; she often participated in social events and had helped to gain sponsorships for Xia Medical to prosper.
- Xia Chunyang chuckled. “My wife has things to be dealt with today, so she’s not coming over.”
- They all complimented, “President Xia, what with her being the movie queen of her generation, she is indeed a great wife for being willing to sacrifice herself to assist you over these years. You’re fortunate to have a wife like her. We admire you!”
- The compliment flattered Xia Chunyang’s vanity as he grinned happily, gleaming with pride.
- At this moment, a melodious ringtone rang; someone was calling Xia Chunyang.
- “President Xia, is Mrs. Xia calling to check on you? Stay here so that we can listen in and prove your innocence.”
- Xia Chunyang was flattered, so he was in a good mood. He answered the call and even put it on speaker mode. “Hello.”
- The person on the other side replied instantly, and the words spoken could be heard by everyone present as it was on speaker mode. “Hello, is this Xia Chunyang? Your wife, Li Qianhui, is suspected to be involved in illegal prostitution. She has been arrested. Please bring a lawyer along with you when you come over to go through the procedures.”
- Involved in illegal prostitution?
- Xia Chunyang was stupefied on the spot.
- Meanwhile, the presidents had already fished out their phones and surfed the Internet. The news of Li Qianhui being arrested for being involved in illegal prostitution was already being spread throughout the social platform, and it was number one trending on the search engine of Twitter.
- In the pictures, Li Qianhui’s clothes were looking messy while she was bellowing on top of her voice. She seemed to be on the edge of breaking down, whereas Mr. Wang, who was in the front, did not even have clothes on.
- The netizens left comments like ‘It was indeed unexpected of Li Qianhui to go have fun with a man in secret even at this age.’
- ‘Li Qianhui was involved in the world of entertainment, so how innocent could she be? If you were to dig up her dirt, you would realize that she was used to being a mistress in her youth.’
- ‘Isn’t Li Qianhui married? I pity her husband.’
- The presidents exchanged looks with each other and they wanted to giggle, but upon seeing Xia Chunyang’s darkened expression, they suppressed their emotions by saying, “President Xia, you should go immediately and bail Mrs. Xia out.”
- ……
- Li Qianhui and Mr. Wang were brought to the police station. Soon, Xia Chunyang arrived as well with his lawyer.
- After the lawyer had dealt with the formalities, Xia Chunyang walked toward Li Qianhui and said sternly, “Let’s go.”
- Li Qianhui followed behind Xia Chunyang as they walked out of the lobby. She then pulled Xia Chunyang’s sleeves, complaining, “Chunyang, I’ve had it figured out. This must be the evil plot of Xia Micheng. She pretended to agree to come to the appointment, but in fact, she was just trying to frame me!”
- Xia Chunyang glared at Li Qianhui coldly. “Are you saying that Micheng had plotted for you and Mr. Wang to be rolling on the bed?”
- “Yes.”
- “Your scandal is trending on the Internet. The number of shares and comments almost hit a billion. You’re saying that all of these were also planned by Micheng?”
- She had a vague premonition about the scandal spreading on the Internet, but she had not anticipated such a serious outcome.
- She had spent so many years in the entertainment industry, yet the news about her that had reached the peak of traffic on the Internet was this scandal.
- Li Qianhui was overwhelmed with rage; she clenched her fists so hard that her nails bit into her palm. “Yes, these all are Micheng’s doing. It’s her…”
- Xia Chunyang lifted his hand and slapped Li Qianhui on the cheek.
- The slap was quite audible. Li Qianhui fell onto the floor; Xia Chunyang had hit her so forcefully that her mouth began bleeding.
- Li Qianhui was astounded. In all the years that they were married, he had always doted on her; this was the first time he hit her.
- “Chunyang, why did you... hit me?”
- Xia Chunyang clenched his teeth, looking vicious. “Li Qianhui, Micheng had just returned from the countryside. What capabilities does she have to make all these happen? I have taken care of you for so many years, and yet this is how you repay me? My fame and dignity have been completely ruined by you!”
- Only then did Li Qianhui realize that she had crossed Xia Chunyang’s bottom line. Xia Chunyang was an egoistic person; now that he had become a laughing stock, it was no surprise that he would vent all his anger out on her.
- “I will get people to suppress the news on the Internet. Don’t bring up today’s incident anymore, and you’d better behave yourself!”
- Upon finishing his sentence, Xia Chunyang left without a second look at her, leaving her there alone.
- Li Qianhui was clenching her teeth so hard that her gum started bleeding. She viciously screamed a person’s name––Xia Micheng!
- ……
- Huo Zhixun wanted to clap his hands and compliment the amazing drama that he had just witnessed. “Bro, your wife is indeed way too capable with all those acting that she had put on! I’m afraid that her stepmother will no longer live another day of peace.”
- Lu Yuzhen had his hands in the pockets of his trousers. He did not show any expressions of astonishment, as his wife had been giving him surprises every day.
- She was like a mystery that attracted him gradually over time.
- “I’ll be leaving first.”
- When Lu Yuzhen was about to leave, a figure popped out in front of him, it was… Xia Erxiang.
- Xia Erxiang had an evil mind, but it was a pity that she did not inherit the scheming nature of Li Qianhui. She was willful and easily jealous, which was not adorable at all.
- She had no idea of what had happened to her parents because she had her heart and mind dedicated to Lu Yuzhen—the boy toy.
- Xia Erxiang fished out a check and said, “Boy toy, this money is for you. Stop staying by Xia Micheng’s side!”
