Chapter 575: Chapter 575: The Family Jewels Are Gone
Wan Ke looked at the ceiling, his face full of worries, “Yeah, a heap of trouble.
It was already troublesome enough that Zhuang Xuejun was assaulted, and then Xia Weibao caught them in the act, beat Huang Wenan up on the spot. Now he’s in the hospital and hasn’t passed the critical period; his life hangs in the balance.”
Chu Ying’s eyes moved slightly, “Life hangs in the balance?”
“Yeah, that woman Xia Weibao was too ruthless, she actually kicked him so hard that she burst his… you know.”
Just thinking about the sorry state made Wan Ke feel a chill down there.
He instinctively squeezed his legs together.
He had thought that Xia Weibao was quite attractive and had entertained those thoughts himself.
Such a beauty, which man wouldn’t want to sleep with her?
Luckily, he only thought about it and never took any action.
Otherwise, with her kick, he probably would’ve been left without the hope of future offspring.
Wan Ke sighed, “Xia Weibao is too fierce. With things having turned out this way, I guess she’s raging; whoever provokes her is courting death!
Our chances of taking her down are now impossible.”
All of a sudden, Chu Ying leaned over Wan Ke, tracing circles on his chest with her finger.
Her voice was seductive and coy.
“Wan Ke, actually, there might be a way to take Xia Weibao down.”
Wan Ke looked up at her face.
Chu Ying chuckled lightly, her eyes holding a trace of malice, “Didn’t you say Xia Weibao beat up Huang Wenan?”
“Yeah, but she did it to stand up for Zhuang Xuejun. Even if this gets out, people will take her side; it’s no good.
Even if it goes to court, it’s justifiable self-defense. At most, she’ll have to pay some medical bills, and that’s it, we can’t really touch her.”
“But what if… Huang Wenan dies.”
Wan Ke’s expression changed, “What are you suggesting! If you’re hell-bent on dying, don’t drag me down with you!”
A death would mean prison time!
He hated Xia Weibao, but just because the woman didn’t know her place.
If he could take her down, then he would; if not, then so be it.
It wasn’t yet to the point of life and death between them.
Wan Ke pinched Chu Ying’s chin, “I never realized before how ruthless you could be.
That’s right, even your own flesh and blood you didn’t spare, deliberately falling down the stairs to make Xu Jiayang feel guilty; there’s nothing you wouldn’t do.”
Chu Ying’s expression changed slightly.
How heartless this man was!
The child she had lost had been his!
“Wan Ke, that child was yours!”
“Give it a rest, you’ve been with so many men, who knows whose child it was.”
Chu Ying’s body shuddered violently, her gaze filled with pain as she looked at Wan Ke.
No wonder, when he had her deliberately lose the child and then left a dead cat for Xu Jiayang, in his eyes, he never considered the child as his own!
“Let it be, don’t bring up the past. I’m very tired now, you can leave if there’s nothing else.
We don’t need to bother with Xia Weibao anymore, there’s no real grudge anyway.”
Chu Ying was not willing to let go, he might not have a grudge against Xia Weibao, but she did!
She just couldn’t stand Xia Weibao!
Where was she inferior to Xia Weibao? Why was Xia Weibao the movie queen and not her!
Xia Weibao was clearly past her prime and yet she managed a comeback with just a web series!
Moreover, a web series that cost just two or three million trumped her grand three-hundred-million historical drama!
She felt like her face had been slapped swollen!
She couldn’t swallow this humiliation!
But, with her abilities, it was hard to deal with Xia Weibao; she had to rope in Wan Ke.
And she was very clear about Wan Ke’s weak spot.
“Xia Weibao is Xu Jiayang’s designated lead actress. I heard Xu Jiayang is already preparing a new script, aiming for another shot at the Oscar for Best Director, and the lead role has been set for Xia Weibao.
You’ve seen Xia Weibao’s talent, if she takes the role, it really might be possible…”
