Chapter 793: Seven hundred and ninety-one, put on a show whenever there’s an audience
Zhou Xiaofu stumbled into the room with a trace of drunkenness, "I’m back!" The most painful thing every day was coming home to face the plain-faced wife awaiting him. Yet, even in agony, he could only feign happiness. After all, everything he had came from her.
"Smack!" A stack of photos flew towards him, hitting Zhou Xiaofu square in the face, sobering him up immediately.
"What’s going on?!" Zhou Xiaofu frowned at the woman standing before him in pajamas. He was really angry deep down, but he could only swallow his anger, daring to be angry but not daring to speak. He wasn’t afraid of anyone else, except his own wife, whom he could not afford to offend.
"You have the nerve to ask what’s going on? Explain these photos to me!" Zhao Yu pointed at the photos scattered on the floor, her voice sharp with accusation. She had always thought he was a trustworthy man, yet behind her back, he was out reveling with other women, getting entangled with female stars.
Zhou Xiaofu looked down at the ground and saw photos of himself embracing a female star, his complexion turning ugly in an instant. How did Zhao Yu get these photos? Where did they come from?
Zhou Xiaofu averted his gaze back to Zhao Yu and anxiously explained, "These photos must be someone framing me; I’ve never done anything to betray you."
"Framing you?" Zhao Yu let out a cold laugh, "Take a good look at those photos before you say that." It was common for men to play around outside, but the fact that he had kept a mistress and she was now pregnant with his child was something she could never accept.
Zhou Xiaofu bent down to pick up the photos from the floor, looking through them one by one. When he saw the content of the last few photos, his face instantly turned pale. She had even been able to find her.
"Do you still have anything to say?" Zhao Yu watched Zhou Xiaofu coldly, waiting for his explanation.
"What I had with them was all just flings, you are the only one in my heart," Zhou Xiaofu earnestly told Zhao Yu.
"Flings and someone gets pregnant with your child? Zhou Xiaofu, do you think I’m a fool?" Zhao Yu mocked. After obtaining these photos, she had someone investigate these female stars. freewebnσvel.cѳm
The pregnant star’s relationship with Zhou Xiaofu was not ordinary—they had known each other for a long time and were even discussing marriage.
After meeting her, however, he broke up with that star. Of course, that was just for show.
Over the years, they continued to interact in secret, with Zhou Xiaofu secretly transferring a third of his company’s profits to that woman.
One thing that angered her the most was the car accident that happened early last year. She always thought it was an accident, but her investigation revealed that it was premeditated, and the person who designed it all was none other than her own husband.
Learning all this, she collapsed in an instant. She loved him so much and trusted him dearly, but he was plotting her death. She was truly done with him and planned not just to divorce him, but also to send him and that woman where they belong.
"Xiao Yu, you have to believe me, you’re the only one I love," Zhou Xiaofu said to Zhao Yu with deep affection. He needed to gain her trust. Only if she trusted him could he begin his next plan.
"Stop putting on an act in front of me, I’ll see you at the registry office," Zhao Yu said with a cold laugh as she walked out of the room. She Zhao Yu had always been someone who could let go.
"Xiao Yu!" Zhou Xiaofu chased after her in a panic, blocking her way, "Xiao Yu, forgive me this time, I promise I won’t mess with those female stars ever again." He couldn’t divorce her; if they did, he would be left with nothing. Right now, he had only transferred a small portion of his wealth, and a large part was still in her hands. If she would just give him one more chance this time, he would immediately accelerate his plan to have her die an untimely death.
"Get lost! You disgust me now," Zhao Yu said, pushing Zhou Xiaofu away and heading towards the guest room.
Zhou Xiaofu narrowed his eyes, a sinister glint flashing within as he shouted at Zhao Yu’s retreating back, "Xiao Yu, give me one more chance." Damn woman, just you wait! I won’t let you have the chance to get to the registry office.
Hearing the guest room door slam shut with a "bang!" Zhou Xiaofu bit his teeth in frustration and headed towards the study.
After closing the study door, Zhou Xiaofu picked up the phone and dialed out. After a short wait, a gloomy voice came from the other end, "What’s up?"
"I want to move up the plan, help me take care of her on the road tomorrow," Zhou Xiaofu said coldly. He hadn’t just been messing around all these years; he had built his own power too.
"Understood!" The person on the other end replied indifferently.
"Also, find out who sent those photos, and tell me later," Zhou Xiaofu hung up the phone, his eyes brimming with viciousness. If the other side didn’t want to let him off, he would make sure they didn’t get off easily either.
Shortly after, the phone rang again.
Zhou Xiaofu picked up, "Did you find out?"
"It was Starlight Entertainment," the person said. "They not only sent your photos to your wife but also gave some information to the media. Tomorrow morning, both you and Huayu Entertainment will be on the morning news."
"Damn it!" Zhou Xiaofu slammed the table in anger. He hadn’t expected Starlight Entertainment to have such capability; he had underestimated them.
After a while, he took a deep breath, calming down a bit before saying, "I’ll handle what comes next." He was on familiar terms with the leaders of those newspaper offices; with one phone call from him, they certainly wouldn’t publish any unfavorable news about him.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiaofu thought for a moment and then called the leader of the Yangtze Morning News.
Once the call connected, Zhou Xiaofu said with a smile, "Is that President Li? This is Zhou Xiaofu. I heard that someone delivered some information to your news office. Could President Li do me a favor and keep that information from being published for now? I’ll make sure to thank you properly at a later date."
"Younger Brother Zhou, you know our relationship; I’d help if I could, but this time, I really can’t do anything. This is a direct order from above—they insist on publishing it tomorrow. Did you offend someone, Younger Brother Zhou?"
Zhou Xiaofu was taken aback, "They have that much clout?" He had checked on Starlight Entertainment when he decided to go after them; although the boss of Starlight had some connections, they paled in comparison to Zhao Yu’s family. Otherwise, how could he dare to take action against them so blatantly?
"I’m not sure myself," came the reply. "I just received a notice from above, and this time, no one is allowed to stop that information from being published, or else they will be fired." Maybe the higher-ups issued the warning because they knew of his relationship with Zhou Xiaofu.
