Into the Night, Jiao Jiao Gets Kissed by a Business Tycoon
Chapter 126: Are You Still Breathing?

In front of her was an abandoned factory, with no street lights or pedestrians, and not a single person in sight. It even felt somewhat eerie...

Lin Wei suddenly felt a sense of panic, she turned around to ask the driver where they were, wondering if he had taken a wrong turn.

But when she turned around, the scene before her left her stunned.

She saw a group of bodyguards, dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses, standing around a stretched Bentley, and the car door slowly opened. A woman dressed in luxurious attire stepped out...

Lin Wei’s gaze fell on her; she was a middle-aged woman in her fifties, slightly overweight, with her hair up in a bun, wearing a gold ring, radiating an air of graceful affluence.

Lin Wei was certain, she did not recognize this person.

Furrowing her brows, she asked, "Who are you, and why did you have the driver bring me here?"

Mrs. Zhang seemed to have heard a very funny joke, her eyes widened with laughter initially, but then her expression turned sharp and cutting, "You dare to climb into my husband’s bed without even bothering to find out who I am?"

Seeing the face filled with wrinkles now twisted with anger, Lin Wei immediately guessed her identity, and fear flashed through her eyes, her voice trembling, "What do you want to do?"

Mrs. Zhang scoffed lightly, "What do I want to do? I think you know very well."

With that, Mrs. Zhang raised her hand and harshly slapped Lin Wei’s cheek.

A loud slap echoed in the air.

Lin Wei’s body trembled almost imperceptibly.

Mrs. Zhang grabbed her hair, forcing Lin Wei to face her, "That slap was just a light one. A shameless woman like you, who seduces someone else’s husband, should be drowned in a pig cage."

Still unsatisfied after hitting her, Mrs. Zhang raised her hand and delivered another slap.

A crisp "smack" sounded, chilling to the core.

"Bitch!" Mrs. Zhang, like throwing away trash, threw Lin Wei onto the ground and then waved to the bodyguards before turning away.

Lin Wei glanced around at the people nearby and immediately understood Mrs. Zhang’s intention. Ignoring the pain on her face, she flung herself at Mrs. Zhang’s feet like a dog, "Please, spare me this time, I really realize my mistake, I promise... I swear to you, I will never appear in front of President Zhang again."

She really regretted it now; she had been so careful, how did Mrs. Zhang find out...

And President Zhang had played around with so many women in the circle; why did Mrs. Zhang specifically target her?

Why her...

But Lin Wei was mistaken, Mrs. Zhang was not a merciful person. She spat at Lin Wei, and then viciously kicked her, "Get lost, don’t dirty my shoes. Do you know how much they cost?"

The bodyguards, seeing this, no longer hesitated and surrounded Lin Wei.

Lin Wei’s eyes widened, "You can’t do this to me... Please, let me go."

Mrs. Zhang sneered coldly, unmoved.

Then, only the heart-pounding shrieks and the sharp, piercing cries of despair could be heard.

These cries, in the quiet of the night, seemed particularly terrifying.

Mrs. Zhang, listening to Lin Wei’s desperate, wretched sobs, a bloody cold smile flickered in her eyes.

It wasn’t her fault for being ruthless; even if beaten to death, she deserved it; today she was going to teach this ignorant bitch a lesson!

After what felt like a long time, the intense screams gradually weakened.

Mrs. Zhang turned around to look at the woman lying on the ground, gasping for breath, her clothes stained with blood, "Is she still alive?"

A bodyguard crouched down to check Lin Wei’s breathing and said, "Yes."

"Take her to the hospital." She didn’t want to be responsible for a death.

After giving her instructions, Mrs. Zhang lifted her proud head and slid into the car.

The male lead in "Butterfly’s Past," starring alongside Xinan, belongs to Li Hongya’s company—a fresh-faced actor with a very clean appearance.

Getting to participate in such a big production right after debuting, one can only imagine how popular this young actor is in the industry.

However, due to past scandals, he had to start over.

Fortunately, Li Hongya valued his talent and was willing to give him a chance.

Today, Xinan had two kissing scenes with him. She already knew when she read the script, so she was mentally prepared.

Thankfully, Cheng Yi wasn’t here today, otherwise she would have been really nervous.

Just as Xinan was secretly rejoicing, Cheng Yi’s tall figure appeared at the entrance of the set.

Xinan’s smile instantly froze. He had something important and had left, hadn’t he? Why is he back!

Involuntarily, Xinan swallowed hard and thought, "I’m doomed, completely doomed!"

She couldn’t even dare to imagine the expression on Cheng Yi’s face when he saw her kissing another male actor.

He would probably tear her apart...

Cheng Yi noticed the subtle change in Xinan’s expression. He raised an eyebrow and walked towards her, "Why do I feel like you’re not exactly happy to see me?"

"No... Not at all," Xinan nearly burst into tears.

"Really?" Cheng Yi suddenly leaned in closer.

Xinan turned her face away, "Of course."

"Then why do I feel like you seem very guilty?" Cheng Yi’s lips curved into a playful smile, "Did you do something you feel sorry towards me for?"

At that moment, Xinan really wanted to escape from this place, to escape from Cheng Yi.

How could he guess so accurately? She was indeed about to do something she felt sorry for him about.

Sigh... No, that’s not right. She had already divorced him; she was single now, so it didn’t count as betraying him.

Xinan coughed lightly, her gaze still avoiding Cheng Yi, "I... I have to tell you something, I have a kissing scene later."

"A kissing scene?" Cheng Yi’s eyes suddenly grew somber.

"Yeah, it’s... it’s the kind of kiss you’re thinking of," Xinan said guiltily, "I... I’m an actress after all, I have to make some sacrifices."

"Can’t you use stand-ins?"

"That kind of scene wouldn’t be effective with stand-ins."

Cheng Yi stared into her eyes, "You seem quite eager to kiss that actor?"

"Of course not." That guy was about three or four years younger than her. On set, she completely treated him like a little brother.

No sooner had she spoken than the director’s assistant came over, "Miss Xinan, this is your new script; we’ve made some adjustments."

Xinan frowned and took the script, flipping to the scenes she was supposed to shoot today—the kiss scenes had all been changed to dialogue scenes.

Xinan instinctively looked towards Cheng Yi, only to see a smile in his eyes, seemingly quite pleased with the arrangement.

"Did you ask the director to change the script?" Xinan’s tone was very certain.

The director certainly wouldn’t change the script for no reason, it must have been Cheng Yi’s doing behind the scenes.

Cheng Yi shrugged and said, "I had seen your script before, and I thought the kissing scene was really abrupt, so I gave the director some feedback."
