Chapter 592: Chapter 592 Still Too Naive_1

Her lie was exposed, but Xia Qingtian didn’t mind.

After all, she never planned on riding on the coattails of being Mrs. Bo forever.

The only reason she hadn’t owned up during the business party was to get rid of the people who were constantly pestering her.

"No thanks." Xia Qingtian bluntly rejected Zhu Wei’s business investment proposal and said, "I can take care of this myself, so I won’t trouble you."

She was determined to leave without engaging in further discussion.

She was no fool. She could tell from Zhu Wei’s gaze that getting his investment required a certain cost.

Even though she had divorced Bo Jingyan, she wasn’t desperate enough to sell herself just for some investment.

It was not easy for Zhu Wei to get the one he craved to see him, so he wouldn’t let her leave so easily.

Before she could open the door, he was already standing in front of it. He blocked the door with his body, making it impossible to open from the outside or inside.

"Don’t go just yet..." Zhu Wei began, "I still have a lot to say to you."

Xia Qingtian was amused by his shamelessness, so she stayed without hurry.

She wanted to see just how low Zhu Wei could stoop.

"I do not accept your investment..." With her arms crossed, she looked at Zhu Wei as if he were a pathetic clown.

Zhu Wei was in no rush now that she wasn’t insisting on leaving.

"If you refuse my investment, your entertainment company won’t have a chance to go public." He smirked maliciously, "You must have faced many rejections while seeking investment recently, right?"

Hearing this, Xia Qingtian realized something.

She jerked her head up to look at Zhu Wei sharply, "What are you implying? The investors who were previously interested abruptly changing their attitudes...That was your doing, wasn’t it?"

Zhu Wei didn’t deny it. Instead, he said, "Women are cuter when they’re clueless. Being too smart isn’t good."

That was as good as an admission.

Thinking about all her wasted efforts made Xia Qingtian grit her teeth. She used all her self-restraint to not do something impulsive.

Eventually, her eyes became bloodshot from the exertion.

Zhu Wei misunderstood her tears as a sign of her feeling wronged, which stirred feelings of pity in him.

He slowly approached Xia Qingtian, took her hand, and comfortingly said, "Women really shouldn’t work so hard. If you’re with me, I will invest in you and let you make a public company if you wish. You can enjoy a luxurious life without having to lift a finger. It’s a life no less grand than the one you had with Bo Jingyan. What do you think?"

While he was speaking, he kept running his hand over Xia Qingtian’s.

Xia Qingtian suppressed her urge to chop his hand off.

"Mr. Zhu, I will say this one last time, I don’t need your investment. Besides..." She glared coldly at Zhu Wei and warned, "You best take your dirty hands off me or else I won’t be nice."

Zhu Wei showed no intent to let go and instead continued his advances.

Thinking he was charming, he said, "Stop playing hard to get with me. I already promised you I’d buy you houses and cars, you won’t be shortchanged."

"Let go..." Xia Qingtian’s facial expression showed no change. She coldly said, "I’m counting down from three."

"Whatever demands you have, we can discuss them over dinner, at a hotel, take your time. Name your price, even if it costs me my life, I will give it to you." Zhu Wei passionately continued trying to lure her in.

Without indulging his nonsense, Xia Qingtian started the countdown.

"Three..."

"Two..."

"One..."

The countdown ended quickly.

Zhu Wei still hadn’t realized the gravity of his situation and instead tried to pull her into his arms to console his longing heart.

"Darling, don’t play hard to get, let me hold you, I truly like..."

"Thud..."

Before Zhu Wei could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp pain in his head.

Before he could react to what had just happened, the room around him started spinning, and he embarrassingly stumbled to the ground.

In the fleeting moment when he was falling, it seemed like Xia Qingtian was holding a candlestick.

The candlestick was used for the candle-lit dinner.

Zhu Wei painfully clutched his throbbing head. His palm was wet, and when he looked down, it was stained with blood.

That’s when he realized Xia Qingtian had cracked his skull using a candlestick.

The pain in his head made Zhu Wei lose his composure.

Even if he liked Xia Qingtian, he wouldn’t allow her to treat him so brutally.

With a trembling hand, he pointed at Xia Qingtian and spitefully cursed, "You, you wretch, how dare you hit me! I will definitely sue you. If I can’t have you locked up, I’m not Zhu."

He thought that by saying this, Xia Qingtian would apologize to him.

He even figured out that, as punishment, he would make her his mistress. As for the promises he made, he decided not to keep them.

Once he was done having his fun, he would kick her to the curb.

But Xia Qingtian was not at all scared, she pulled out her phone and played a recording.

The recording was of their recent conversation.

After playing the recording, Xia Qingtian smirked and said, "Go ahead and sue me. I also want to sue you for sexual harassment, trying to manipulate me into an unethical deal. As for hitting you, I was merely defending myself. I’m curious to see what the court will decide."

Zhu Wei had completely underestimated her intelligence.

He didn’t use his dull brain to think that she could survive and succeed in the volatile entertainment industry, launching Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin’s careers, and even preparing her company for IPO.

How could she be naïve?

In Xia Qingtian’s opinion, the naïve one wasn’t her, but Zhu Wei.

After hearing the recording and Xia Qingtian’s words, Zhu Wei’s face turned pale.

He had thought he would win over Xia Qingtian and show her the cruelty of the real world. He hadn’t anticipated becoming a joke himself. Not only did he fail to take advantage of her, but he also ended up with a cracked skull.
