Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Just a Minor Actor

The sound in the video was very low, but Mrs. Zhang heard it all very clearly—the woman’s faint moans and the man’s muffled grunts, the breaths of both, unmistakably reaching her ears.

Finally, her nerves seemed to be stimulated by something, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, her hands tightly clutching the edge of the sofa, her nails digging deep into the flesh.

"So, Zhang Jianyuan dares to cheat on me with another woman!"

Mrs. Zhang suddenly swung her arm, and the computer that had been placed properly on the mahjong table shattered into pieces with a loud "bang," her expression growing uglier by the second.

This scene shocked everyone present.

Mrs. Zhang grabbed the woman who had been whispering in her ear, "Find out who that little bitch is for me, I’m going to make her life a living hell."

In her early years, Mrs. Zhang had worked as a butcher, and her grip was even stronger than a man’s, causing the rich housewife to feel as though her arm was being torn off.

She grimaced in pain and quickly said, "Okay, okay, don’t get worked up, I’ll call someone to check for you right now."

Mrs. Zhang then gradually loosened her grip.

The call was quickly made, and the reply came promptly: "The woman is named Lin Wei, graduated from the Film Academy, just debuted last year."

Mrs. Zhang, with a twisted face, asked, "How long have they been together?"

The person on the phone replied, "About two months."

After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Zhang, her bag in hand, was ready to leave, her gaze extremely fierce, as if she were going out to commit murder.

Seeing this, the crowd hurriedly stopped her, "Mrs. Zhang, calm down first, don’t be impulsive!"

Mrs. Zhang, trembling with anger, cursed, "How do you expect me to calm down? That scoundrel! I’ve been with him for so many years, bore his children, shared his hardships. But he betrays me, keeping a mistress! I must skin him alive."

Her emotions escalated as she spoke.

"If you go alone to confront him now, you definitely won’t get anything good out of it. Let’s sit down first and think of a strategy, consider what to do next. After all, you and President Zhang have been together for so many years, you surely wouldn’t want to really divorce him, right?"

Mrs. Zhang, grinding her teeth, said, "Then what do you suggest?"

The woman fiddled with a gold and jade ring on her finger and, eyes sparkling, said, "Men love their pride. Tell me... if you spread the news, what do you think he would do?"

Mrs. Zhang frowned. Although she hated Zhang Jianyuan very much, if she spread the news, not only would his reputation be damaged, but she too would be subjected to mockery...

Noticing her hesitation, the rich housewife added, "I’m not saying you should actually spread the news, but you can use the video to threaten him. Otherwise, just wait for him to bring that little vixen home to ask for a divorce, and you’ll end up with nothing."

"But..."

"You don’t still have feelings for him, do you? Mrs. Zhang, I’m not criticizing you, but in our circle, the one thing you mustn’t get caught up in is emotions. So, you’d better think it through—whether it’s to make a big score now or seek momentary satisfaction only to end up hurting both parties."

Mrs. Zhang bit her lip and finally said, "Fine, but should I just let that little vixen off?"

The rich housewife smiled, "She’s just a minor actress; what could she possibly do? It’s still up to you, Mrs. Zhang, on how you want to handle her."

Her words were very cryptic, but Mrs. Zhang understood perfectly.

Yes, just a minor actress...

Then, she suddenly whispered into Mrs. Zhang’s ear, "Isn’t she a star? The thing stars fear the most is scandal. You could do something like this..."

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Mrs. Zhang’s eyes.

After that night, Lin Wei landed two endorsement deals and the role of Female Lead in a low-budget movie.

President Zhang truly kept his promise.

With the resurgence of resources, she began to receive more job offers.

Lin Wei was working until midnight almost every day before going home.

That day, after reaching home, Lin Wei checked the bank card President Zhang had given her; it contained roughly a hundred thousand, quite generous indeed.

Lin Wei transferred all the money into her own account, believing that money wouldn’t truly be hers unless it was under her name.

Only when her name was on it did she feel secure and that it was real.

At some point, Lin Wei felt her temper growing shorter, with even the smallest things making her extremely irritable.

She thought it was due to the immense work pressure.

But she still didn’t allow herself to stop because she knew that if she did, thousands would step on her to climb ahead.

That day, she had to shoot a milk advertisement. Being up early for several days made Lin Wei fear dozing off, so she asked her assistant to buy her a cup of coffee.

The assistant was quite efficient and soon returned with the coffee just as Lin Wei had finished one set of shots.

While looking at her phone, Lin Wei took the coffee handed by her assistant and drank it without a second thought.

The moment the coffee touched her mouth, she spat it out and her face twisted with pain; the coffee’s temperature was so hot that it blurred her vision, prompting her to hastily set the cup on the table.

However, the burning sensation did not subside but became even more intense.

She turned to her assistant and shouted angrily, "On such a hot day, why did you buy such scalding hot coffee? Are you trying to kill me?"

The assistant, scolded, responded with a hint of grievance, "I’m sorry, Lin Wei, I thought it had cooled down and wasn’t so hot."

"What use are you if you can’t even handle this simple task?"

Holding back tears, the assistant quickly said, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Lin Wei, I’ll go buy another one right away."

Lin Wei, impatient, waved her hand dismissively, "No need, you’re fired."

With that, she walked away without looking back.

The assistant watched her departing figure and finally couldn’t hold back her tears any longer.

She crouched on the ground, covering her face and sobbing loudly.

She had struggled so hard to get this job, and she had only been working for a week...

But to Lin Wei, this was just an insignificant minor interlude.

However, she seemed to be irritable about everything today...

Looking at her car that had suddenly broken down, Lin Wei kicked it angrily.

With no cars around and her apartment still a few kilometers away, it felt like neither heaven nor earth could help her.

Left with no other choice, she had to hail a taxi home using an app, and as for the car, there was nothing she could do but wait until tomorrow to find someone to fix it.

Lin Wei didn’t wear a mask, but luckily the driver didn’t recognize her.

Out of boredom, Lin Wei put on her headphones and started listening to music, completely unaware that the route home had subtly changed...
