Warning: verbal humiliation that may be uncomfortable for you

Zhao Wenyan had already experienced the sensation of having his negative emotions being absorbed by Fan Jialuo's hands once before, but now, as the other leaned against him seamlessly, he finally understood that what he had felt then couldn't be described to be strong at all.

Where it had only been a subtle, shallow and slow change before, at this very moment, it was as if he was suddenly facing a giant earthquake and its consequent landslide.

Fan Jialuo was like a massive vortex, continuously and rapidly extracting all the negative energy in his body; like surge billows, the other crushed his morbid love for Su Fengxi, washing away all the filth and evil things that had afflicted him for the past five years.

Zhao Wenyan felt like his entire body had been cleansed.

In just those ten seconds in Fan Jialuo's embrace, he seemed to have experienced countless cycles of rebirth and purification, a feeling that was indescribably wonderful.

Throughout the first half of his life and for the remainder of it, there would never be a moment more capable of moving him than the one at present.

His thirst for life and his desire for freedom were all fully released!

He couldn't help but close his eyes to better concentrate on engraving this moment into his mind.

The man that gently held him had simultaneously become both his most solid shield and his hardest armor, letting him break through all the obstacles before him and courageously advance.

The softly-spoken "hate her" made Zhao Wenyan chuckle.

He raised his head and took a quick glance at Fan Jialuo, then slowly loosened his tie and unfastened the top few buttons of his shirt.

"En," He promised softly, and then turned to look at Su Fengxi.

His warm and focused gaze instantly hardened, and his eyes carried a chill that was colder than the biting-cold winds of winter.

The hatred and disgust overflowing from his pupils was dense enough that it could be condensed into a tangible mass.

Su Fengxi looked on, stunned at the intimate behavior between the two men, completely confused as to what was happening between them.

Hadn't Zhao Wenyan always kept his distance from Fan Jialuo?

What the hell was this? Why were they hugging so ambiguously?

Zhao Guoan was also confused.

Wasn't his grandson obsessed with Su Fengxi?

Being embraced by a man in front of her-just what did that mean?

A change in affection?

A new lover to show off to the old one?

Was he watching a play right now?

In addition to Zhao Guoan's two assistants, who had accompanied him into the office, a large number of senior leaders were also present at this scene.

The employees who worked on the top floor also couldn't restrain their curious and gossipy natures, and had quietly made their way over to watch the on-goings.

The President's door was wide open and everything that was happening inside was clearly displayed for the people gathered at the door.

Su Fengxi's arrival wasn't surprising, but the act of a man intimately encircling his hands around Zhao Wenyan's neck certainly was.

It's Fan Jialuo!

It was the man that had once been continuously blocked ad avoided by President Zhao - the battered Fan Jialuo!

Just when did he and President Zhao advance their relationship, to the extent of even being able to secretly PK the goddess Su Fengxi?

But wait-

After looking carefully, it could be observed that Fan Jialuo's appearance wasn't inferior to Su Fengxi's beauty, in fact, it was even better, both in physical appearance and in nature.

Fan Jialuo seemed to carry a mysterious aura, a noble temperament and a gentleness- all qualities that Su Fengxi lacked.

From when did he start to exude such an extraordinary charm?

Even the most advanced plastic surgery procedure couldn't achieve such an effect-it was so great that he seemed to be an entirely different person!

The onlookers were stunned.

It was better not to get involved in this kind of a matter.

But despite understanding this, the appetite of their curiosity was so large that it overcame their reasoning faculties, and they thickened their skin and stayed.

Fortunately, Elder Zhao was also in such a state of shock that he forgot to clear away the gossiping group of spectators.

The moment Zhao Wenyan finished pulling off his tie and unfastening a few of his shirt's buttons, he looked as if he had broken free from all of his invisible shackles, immediately brightening and exuding a spirited and refreshing aura.

Staring straight at the woman in front of him, he asked, "Su Fengxi, do you love me?"

Zhao Guoan closed his eyes and secretly cursed-you good for nothing!

This woman was about to play him to death, yet he was still clinging to such a stupid question!

Love my ass! Would someone who truly loved you push you to your death?

Hearing this, the tension in Su Fengxi's heart loosened a little. Smiling, she said, "Of course I love you!"

Zhao Wenyan also smiled when he heard her reply; it was a cold smile, full of irony.

"If you truly loved me, would you really push your Xichuan Movie and Television City mess onto me? Would you truly be willing to let me jump into this fire pit for you?

Do you know what it will cost me? I'll lose all my fortune, I'll no longer have anything to my name, what's more, I'll even end up carrying a huge debt, and at that point, I would be cast away by my family! Don't shake your head..."

Zhao Wenyan stopped Su Fengxi from shaking her head in denial.

"Don't say you don't know about these things. You, Su Fengxi, have put your hands into those murky waters in order to reach your current standing. Just that alone is enough to prove that you're no fool.

"You know too well how to manipulate others, how to pass on the risks, and how to climb up. What you love isn't me, but my money, my power, and my position."

Su Fengxi began to pale.

She hadn't expected that such sharp words, ones that exposed the dirty truths and pierced all her masks, would be spoken by the Zhao Wenyan who had been so infatuated with her.

This can't be true!

How is this possible?

Why did my charm suddenly fail?

The answer to the last question was the one Su Fengxi feared the most.

Zhao Wenyan's gaze no longer contained even the slightest trace of burning infatuation, his eyes only carried a bottomless hatred.

"I..."

She tried to defend herself, thinking that by using a few words, a sweet voice and a flirtatious face, she could once again capture this man's heart in an instant, but was mercilessly interrupted again.

"I don't want to hear anything you say. I know very well what you think of me. In your heart, at best, I'm just a stepping stone."

Negative energy was being continuously transmitted towards him, and it was trying to breach his heart's defenses, bewitch his mind and destroy his sanity ever since he had come face-to-face with Su Fengxi.

But with Fan Jialuo here, such sneaky tricks no longer had any effect on him.

Zhao Wenyan leaned back calmly. His right hand quietly held the other's hand. He wasn't sitting on a leather chair, but rather, he was being protected in a strong castle, and thus had no need to fear those evil spirits.

He shook his head and sneered, the words leaving his mouth carrying trace amounts of derision, "Su Fengxi, don't take everyone for a fool. Don't think you can run wild just because you have a bit of beauty. The moment others don't want to put up with you any longer, you'll become nothing more than a nobody in their eyes.

"Do you know why your investment in Xichuan failed? It's because you slept with a man who you shouldn't have slept with. That man's wife has a very powerful family background. Over the years, she is the one who ensured that you run into such a dire situation.

"Those high-ranking officials, those rich businessmen, and those agents you came into contact with for the project, all of them are liars she gathered to accompany you in acting. Unfortunately, you placed yourself too high, were too proud of your own charm, and believed that the Xichuan project would be able to make a lot of money.

"So many people took turns to sleep with you for a whole year, yet you regarded it as a laughing matter, something to be pleased about. Then, all you got in return was a fire pit. Say, is this what you're worth? Isn't such a thing what people actually call cheap?"

In an unprecedented harsh tone, he added the final blow, "I fucking think you're terribly cheap!"

Su Fengxi took two steps back. Her facial expression was twisted, like a person who had just seen a ghost.

She had never been so humiliated by a man! How dare Zhao Wenyan do this?

Facts had proven that Zhao Wenyan not only dared to do so, but he also enjoyed it.

He took a sip of water and handed the glass backward, in an attempt to feed the handsome man who was still loosely embracing him, but was rejected.

An expression of regret quickly flitted across his face before he sneered at Su Fengxi. "One, you have no acting skills; two, no comprehension skills; three, no favorable personality traits; and four, no unique quotient. Without me supporting you, what kind of person would the current you even be?

"After leaving me, can you survive in the entertainment industry?

"Do you know what those people on the Internet say about you? They say you ruin the female lead role! As long as any of those good scripts fall into your hands, they will be destroyed beyond recognition and meet a completely different end.

"Each time you ruined a movie, my heart would bleed for them! You waste the potential of such art and can only disappoint the audience! As a 'Movie Queen', ask yourself, deep in your heart, do you really deserve those awards that you won through the public relations and influence I paid for?

"After so much difficulty, I finally managed to send you abroad on the pretext of gilding your resume with Hollywood films. Not having to see you for half a year, do you know how happy I've been? If I could, I would fucking kick you to heaven!"

Su Fengxi gritted her teeth and stated in a trembling voice, "How dare you..."

Zhao Wenyan once again interrupted her, "Do you really think that I don't know what you and Su Mian have been up to?

"Do you really think that I don't know how you and Steve were fooling around in America? You think I didn't know about Yu Yi, or Jiang Gan, or Yuan Shaochun, or Song Zhi, or Deng Wenbin, or Xiao Hongwei... shit! I fucking know everything!"

He quickly counted out a long list of names in a single breath, immediately shocking all the onlookers.

They hadn't expected for the green hat on President Zhao's head to be so green!

If this was the end of the world, President Zhao alone could make the world green.

Everyone looked towards Zhao Wenyan in sympathy, then turned their heads to look at Su Fengxi with subtle eyes.

It was truly unexpected that the Movie Queen Su would have such big courage, even daring to play so wildly behind President Zhao's back!

This is not a bus, but a public toilet!

Zhao Guoan was on the brink of madness!

He had only thought that Su Fengxi was a little devil who didn't like to dirty her own hands in order to climb so high, but not once had he thought that she would be so immoral and that she would push things to such an extent.

She placed a green hat on his grandson and intended to push him into bankruptcy just to stamp down on her own fire pit.

Where did she get such a big face for herself from?

While Zhao Guoan was still burning with anger, Zhao Wenyan once again mercilessly attacked, "About just how dirty and disgusting you are, perhaps you don't know?"

He bent down, opened the safe inlaid into the desk, took out a few bottles of medicine and sneered as he said, "To avoid sleeping with you, I took antidepressants for five years in a row, because they helped me in dispelling all my desires. I'd rather castrate myself than touch you because you're so dirty!"

He unscrewed the bottle cap and poured out all the pills in front of Su Fengxi before taunting, "Did you know, even the maggots in a cesspit would be cleaner than you! I'd rather eat shit than touch you! Don't you think you're disgusting? Let me say it for you-you're fucking disgusting!"

At this point, Su Fengxi's face had become completely twisted, and her voice was almost hysterical as she shouted, "All this time, you have been lying to me? It's not that you weren't capable of doing it, but it's because you took medicine?

"You were faking it in front of me? I don't believe it, I don't believe it, it's impossible! You're not allowed to escape my charm! Arghh, I'll kill you! You heretic!"

Even an ordinary woman would feel embarrassed upon listening to such vicious words, not to mention Su Fengxi, whose self-esteem was higher than that of most people.

She simply couldn't tolerate the slightest disobedience, more so disobedience that came from a man, a man whom she had thought was completely within her control, totally grasped within the palm of her hand!

She regarded Zhao Wenyan as a dog, but he took her for a creature that wasn't even better than a maggot, and said he would rather eat shit than touch her!

What disparity, what humiliation, what embarrassment!

Su Fengxi looked around and could only see Zhao Wenyan's sarcastic smile, accompanied by the scornful eyes of the onlookers.

Such judging gazes simply drove her crazy!

Her life in the orphanage had always been the most difficult and painful time she had experienced, or so she had thought.

She had never expected that after so many years, just ten minutes inside Zhao Wenyan's office would become more unbearable than those nineteen years she spent in that orphanage.

Her face, her dignity, all of her ins and outs-everything had been completely and thoroughly stripped away by Zhao Wenyan. Everything had been thrown to the ground, laid bare for him to trample on with his feet!

...

Noks: Seems like SFX has a rotten kind of a golden finger... one that is detrimental to all those around her. But that verbal bashing, man... author-sama sure has created some sordid characters- first there was Ruan Ye and Gao Fei, and now Su Fengxi.

Frozenmirage: Oh man, I didn't expect the 'true love' to be like this... No comment...
