Chen Jiawei was currently the most renowned director, having risen to prominence only in recent years. Rumors suggested that he must have had some powerful backing to have achieved such smooth success.
It was said that nearly every female star who had come under his wing had been subjected to hidden rules, or even become his secret mistress. People like him truly tarnished the reputation of the entire industry, yet many dared not speak out despite their anger.
After Chen Jiawei visited the Film Academy just once, he had become deeply infatuated with Jiang Rou. Unlike those around him, she possessed a graceful and ethereal charm that stirred his heart uncontrollably.
That was why he had sent two people to bring her here. He understood women like her very well; every acting student dreamed of becoming a big star. By exploiting this desire, it was only a matter of time before he could have his way with such a woman.
Although he had many women, none of them truly mattered to him. His relationships with them were purely transactional—he got their bodies, while they gained fame. To him, they were nothing more than mistresses.
But Jiang Rou was different. She was the first woman he had encountered who was so pure and gentle. He really wanted to make her his.
He could already imagine having a perfect, delicate body beneath him. This time, he was determined to succeed. Once this woman was hooked, she would be at his mercy.
Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. A smile crept across his face—those two must have brought the woman here.
“Why did it take you so long to get back? Are you trying to—”
He opened the door impatiently, only for his words to stop abruptly when he saw Xiao Yufan.
“Who the hell are you?”
Chen Jiawei’s whereabouts were always kept secret; even the paparazzi couldn’t track him down. So why had this man appeared here?
Then he saw Jiang Rou leaning affectionately against Xiao Yufan like a small bird, and his anger flared. In his mind, he had already claimed Jiang Rou as his destined woman. Seeing her so close to another man made him extremely annoyed.
“Director Chen, don’t you already know the answer? Didn’t you send people to bring my woman here? I just stopped them from getting their hands dirty,” Xiao Yufan said with a sly glint in his eye. This man was even more despicable than he had imagined. How had someone like him managed to rise so high? Was it because people had terrible taste, or was this guy just a really convincing actor?
“Name your price. You really want Xiaorou, right? I haven’t even touched her yet…”
Upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Chen Jiawei was delighted. He thought Xiao Yufan was offering to hand the woman over. In the past, he had encountered many men like this—willing to hand their women over to him just for some money.
Jiang Rou was momentarily stunned, then looked at Xiao Yufan with a strange expression. She didn’t understand what he was trying to do, but she trusted this man more than she trusted herself.
Seeing Jiang Rou’s expression, Chen Jiawei began fantasizing. Perhaps now she would finally see what kind of man her so-called boyfriend really was. Maybe she would soon throw herself into his arms. He could already imagine what would happen next.
To Chen Jiawei, there was nothing money couldn’t solve. As long as he was willing to pay, there would always be men ready to hand their women over to him.
“Fifty thousand. How about fifty thousand? That should keep you comfortable for quite a while!”
Although Chen Jiawei had slept with many women, he had never paid more than ten thousand to cover things up. Offering fifty thousand at once was a first for him.
“Fifty thousand? That’s quite tempting…”
Xiao Yufan nodded slightly, his tone laced with mockery. But Chen Jiawei failed to catch the sarcasm. Xiao Yufan, after all, was clearly not short on money, so this tactic had no effect on him whatsoever.
“But do you really think my woman is only worth fifty thousand?”
Xiao Yufan continued, feigning dissatisfaction. In his eyes, this girl was truly priceless. Fifty thousand was far too cheap. Even if he was playing along, he wouldn’t let her be so undervalued.
“One hundred and fifty thousand. But you have to promise to stay away from this woman and let her willingly become mine. You should understand—you don’t have the capability to keep her.”
Chen Jiawei was all in this time, raising the offer by a hundred thousand in one go. He believed that with such a large sum, this man would surely take the money and disappear, leaving the woman completely to him.
Jiang Rou let out a cold laugh. Right now, she had absolutely no interest in this so-called famous director. It was precisely because of people like him that the industry had become so corrupt.
This expression did not escape Chen Jiawei’s notice. Inwardly, he thought that once Jiang Rou became his, he would definitely have to discipline her properly.
Xiao Yufan raised one finger and shook it slightly before speaking, “Ten million…”
“Ten million?! Are you out of your mind?!”
Chen Jiawei was now almost certain this man had come to cause trouble. Did he really think he was an ATM? Before Xiao Yufan could finish speaking, Chen had already interrupted.
“I said, ten million… to buy your sexual happiness for the rest of your life.”
Xiao Yufan finally decided not to play anymore. A sinister smile appeared on his face, and the chill in his expression sent a strange coldness down Chen Jiawei’s spine.
Chen didn’t even understand what Xiao Yufan meant, but Xiao Yufan had already acted—actually, it was more like a kick.
Aim straight at Chen Jiawei’s crotch, Xiao Yufan precisely controlled the force. He only wanted to disable this man—not kill him, not because he couldn’t, but simply because he didn’t want to.
At this moment, if Chen Jiawei still didn’t understand what that meant, he wouldn’t deserve to be himself. He now realized this man wasn’t after money—he genuinely wanted to ruin him.
As the intense pain struck, sweat poured from Chen Jiawei’s face. His body slowly curled up. All of his desires vanished completely. Even the most beautiful woman standing in front of him now wouldn’t arouse any interest in him.
A sense of humiliation spread throughout his body, but right now, he was powerless to do anything. The unbearable pain had nearly paralyzed his thoughts…
