Translator: Atlas Studios      Editor: Atlas Studios

The friend Xing Linlin was going to look for was Liu Chun. Liu Chun was also in that group, but she had not replied to her message. This was too strange. She had just scrolled through Liu Chun’s Moments and knew that Liu Chun was at Sunset Bar. She had to go and take a look for herself.

Liu Chun did not feel too good either. She was still angry about the 30 million yuan. Most of her present company was in the same WeChat group. Everyone looked at their cell phones and were deep in discussion. “No way. Is the person in the video Xing Linlin?”

“Oh my god, it’s shot so clearly; it must be Xing Linlin. I didn’t expect her to have such a relationship with Cheng Xingyang.”

“Then isn’t SHE the mistress? Oh my god, just how much of what she says is the truth?”

As the discussion grew louder, Liu Chun also heard it. Coupled with Feng Jian’s incident, Liu Chun felt that Xing Linlin was a very loyal person. When she heard everyone discussing Xing Linlin, she could not help but ask, “What’s wrong?

Someone replied, “Liu Chun, look at the WeChat group. Cheng Xingyang was caught cheating on Xing Shu with Xing Linlin. The two of them were caught in the act—in bed. There’s a viral video that’s circulating in several WeChat groups.”

Liu Chun felt that she had misheard. If someone in the Beijing upper-class circle was exposed by such a video, how could she face others in the future?

She whipped out her cell phone and saw the clearly-shot video. Her face fell. Everyone began to add insult to injury. “I knew that Xing Linlin was shady. She only knows how to act pitiful. I’ve long disliked her.”

“Xing Linlin and Xing Shu grew up together. How can she be any good? She asked me out for coffee just now, but I rejected her.”

“She asked me out too. Looks like she still doesn’t know what happened. How embarrassing. If I hang out with her, I’ll be dissed to no end.”

Everyone in the Beijing upper-class circle cared about their reputation the most. After Xing Linlin’s video was circulated widely, everyone would look at her differently in the future. Everyone merrily joined in the dissing of Xing Linlin. They were very engrossed in the vituperation when the door of the private room was pushed open and Xing Linlin stood at the door.

Everyone’s face froze. ‘l’he atmosphere was awkward.

Xing Linlin was accompanied by a server from the bar. She pretended to be generous as she carried her bag and waved her hand. “I heard that you guys are having a gathering here. I was free, so I popped by to treat you to a drink.”

The server wore white gloves and pushed a food cart filled with expensive wine over. The average price of these wines was more than 100,000 yuan. Xing Linlin really pushed the boat out this time, but she had just gotten 10 million yuan. Moreover, Cheng Xingyang had promised to buy a villa for her. This was only a few million yuan. She did not fee]. the pinch spending it now.

In the past, everyone would butter Xing Linlin up when she was this lavish. But tonight, the atmosphere in the private room was very weird. Everyone was silent and avoided eye contact with her.

Xing Linlin did not notice it at all. She walked in with her handbag. The girl closest to her quickly moved away. Xing Linlin was a little puzzled. She raised her head and make eye contact, but the other party did not look at her and treated her as if she were not there. Xing Linlin had never been treated so coldly before. She only felt exceptionally humiliated. When she first joined this clique, she put in a lot of effort to brown-nose and please them. She spent several years making them accept her. Why did it seem like their relationship had regressed after not seeing each other for a night?

Xing Linlin looked at Liu Chun and asked uncertainly, “Did something happen?

Liu Chun was also very embarrassed. The viral video had already been circulated widely. Judging from things, it had just happened—Xing Linlin had just gotten out of Cheng Xingyangs bed. Thinking of this, Liu Chun felt disgusted all over. “Nothing. Why are you here? Didn’t you say you were busy when we asked you out?”

Xing Linlin’s face stiffened. Of course, she was busy. She was busy trying to please Cheng Xingyang in bed. But who would have thought that sh*t would hit the fan tonight? “I’m not busy now, so I came to join you guys.”

A note of derision rang in the air. “Of course you’re not busy now. After all, you’ve been caught in the act.”

Xing Linlin’s face turned pale in an instant, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on her handbag. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand. If I did something wrong to make you unhappy, you can say it.” Xing Linlin had often pretended to be pitiful in the past. But tonight, she could feel that after saying this, the atmosphere in the private room became even weirder. She felt even more uneasy, and her hands were covered in sweat..
