C14 You Reap What You Sow
As Pei Qiuyu lifted her glass, Fong Mucheng and Wu Chengguo exchanged knowing smiles.
"Miss Qiuyu, here's to our first meeting!" Wu Chengguo's face was alight with barely contained excitement.
Lin Xuan watched, his eyes a narrow slit, and let out a chilling smile.
Just wait, you'll soon understand the consequences.
After a sip of juice, Fong Mucheng beamed at Qiuyu, "I've heard your company is in the midst of expanding."
"I know someone in the wholesale building materials business. Interested in an introduction?"
"That would be wonderful!"
Pei Qiuyu's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "I really appreciate it, Mucheng."
"How about another toast, then?" Fong Mucheng suggested.
"Absolutely, I can't thank you enough."
In the meantime, Wu Chengguo turned to Lin Xuan with a grin, "How about we toast as well?"
"Sure." Lin Xuan agreed, lifting his glass.
Pei Qiuyu downed her juice in one swift motion.
Wu Chengguo, observing both Pei Qiuyu and Lin Xuan empty their glasses, let slip a sleazy smirk.
Pulling out her phone, Fong Mucheng announced, "I'll call my friend right now."
"After we eat, let's book a presidential suite upstairs to wait for him."
"That seems unnecessary," Pei Qiuyu murmured, glancing around. "Room rates here are steep."
"We can't skimp on accommodations! He's an important businessman; we need a proper place for the meeting."
Wu Chengguo chuckled, "Don't fret, Miss Pei. I'm footing the bill with my card."
"But I feel awkward accepting this," Pei Qiuyu confessed, her discomfort evident.
Fong Mucheng shrugged it off, "No big deal. If the deal goes through, you can just treat Ah Guo and me to dinner."
"That I can do," Pei Qiuyu agreed without hesitation.
Wu Chengguo, with a showy air, summoned the lobby manager, "Reserve a presidential suite for me."
"Sir, Room 3202 is ready for you."
Lin Xuan discreetly took out his phone and sent a message: Set up a camera in Room 3202, link it directly to the lobby screen, and await my signal.
Once dinner was over, Wu Chengguo settled the bill with his card, and they escorted Pei Qiuyu to the hotel room.
Upon entering, Fong Mucheng's cheeks flushed with heat. "Why is it so unbearably hot in here?"
Wu Chengguo, clutching his head, echoed her sentiment with agitation, "Yeah, what's with this heat?"
Mid-conversation, they both began to strip off their clothes.
Pei Qiuyu, standing to the side, was engulfed in embarrassment.
"Ah Guo..."
Soon after, Fong Mucheng let out a soft moan.
Wu Chengguo, in a haze, wrapped his arms around her.
Pei Qiuyu's face turned crimson as she cast a helpless glance at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan shook his head, "Honestly, if you can't handle your liquor, you shouldn't overindulge. It's quite unbecoming."
"Qiuyu, let's step outside and give them some space to rest."
"...Okay."
Pei Qiuyu couldn't bear to stay any longer, especially as the two began to embrace and kiss passionately.
She feared what might unfold if she lingered.
Lin Xuan exited the guest room, securing the door behind him.
"Nothing bad will happen to them, right?" Pei Qiuyu asked, still concerned.
Lin Xuan reassured her with a smile, "What could possibly happen?"
...Pei Qiuyu's blush deepened to her neck, and she fell silent.
Approaching the elevator, Lin Xuan sent a brief message: Begin.
His face serene as still water, he stepped into the elevator with Pei Qiuyu, acting as if all was normal.
Exiting the elevator, they were met with the sight of dining guests staring in shock at the large screen.
One guest even expelled a mouthful of macaroni in surprise.
The screen, intended for hotel promotions, was now displaying explicit adult content.
Fong Mucheng and Wu Chengguo appeared on screen, faces beet-red and bodies slick with sweat, engaged in indecent acts.
"Is this for real?"
"Look at her! She's so vulgar!"
"How can she even manage that position?!"
"This is utterly shameless..."
The restaurant buzzed with the patrons' lively chatter.
"This completely shatters my moral compass."
"Good heavens, that woman is revolting..."
A few female diners began to retch.
Pei Qiuyu caught a glimpse and, terrified, quickly shielded her eyes.
Although she was married to Lin Xuan, Pei Qiuyu remained a virgin, having never experienced a man's touch, let alone the lewd acts displayed on the screen.
She was so frightened that she was at a loss for what to do.
"Mucheng... how could she change like this?"
Having Fong Mucheng as a friend made Pei Qiuyu feel deeply ashamed. At this point, she had no interest in any business collaboration involving construction materials.
How could anyone introduced by such a shameless person be trustworthy?
Lin Xuan read Pei Qiuyu's thoughts and, taking her hand, said with a smile, "Perhaps this is just a side of her you've never seen before."
"Lin Xuan, let's get out of here!"
Once outside the hotel, Pei Qiuyu was still reeling from the shock. The images she had seen completely overturned her values.
To distract her, Lin Xuan said, "Wife, the Nine-star General's sealing ceremony is drawing near."
"I want to make sure you're the most stunning and captivating woman there."
Pei Qiuyu replied, "The sealing ceremony doesn't concern me, and I don't wish to be the center of attention."
Looking earnestly at Lin Xuan, she continued, "I just want a simple, peaceful life. That's true happiness to me."
"And as for being a Nine-star General, I've never even entertained the thought."
Lin Xuan asked with a smile, "But what if I told you that I am the Nine-star General?"
"You, the Nine-star General?"
His suggestion made Pei Qiuyu laugh, "You're more like soy sauce in my eyes."
Watching Pei Qiuyu, Lin Xuan silently vowed, Wife, I'm going to make you the happiest woman on earth.
After climbing into Pei Qiuyu's car, Lin Xuan sent out another message: If we're going to make a statement, let's go big. Bring in a male and a female pig to spice things up.
Also, take all the hotel staff involved and dump them on the outskirts, tied up for a full day and night.
"With the mosquitoes out in this weather, they'll have quite the time."
Lin Xuan couldn't help but chuckle to himself after sending the message.
Shortly thereafter, Pei Qiuyu's phone rang with a call from Lee Moxiang.
"Qiuyu, where are you?"
"I'm driving, Mom. What's the matter?"
"Check it out quickly, there's been a huge incident!"
Startled, Pei Qiuyu inquired, "What's going on?"
"The internet is ablaze with a video of a man, a woman, and two pigs in a scandalous act."
Lee Moxiang's voice carried a trace of thrill. "I've never seen anything like this in my entire life."
"A man, a woman, and two pigs?"
Pei Qiuyu was so taken aback that her jaw nearly hit the floor.
"Plus, doesn't the woman in the video look like your college friend... what's her name... right, Fong Mucheng?"
"Fong Mucheng..."
Pei Qiuyu smacked her forehead, "Oh my goodness, my entire worldview is shattered."
Just then, the car ahead came to an abrupt halt, causing Pei Qiuyu to slam on her brakes in panic.
But it was too late. With a loud crash, she lurched forward, her head narrowly missing the steering wheel.
"Oh no! Honey, I rear-ended someone."
Pei Qiuyu quickly undid her seatbelt and stepped out of the car.
Her heart sank as she realized she had rear-ended a Porsche, leaving her utterly dumbfounded.
"Damn it! Can't you f*cking drive?!"
A young man with a perm emerged from the Porsche, hurling insults as he approached.
