After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 92

The next day, a piece of news exploded across the internet.

#Fu Group Executive Sexually Harassing Women#

As soon as this news appeared, most netizens were stunned. The Fu Group is one of the four largest companies in this city, a company countless workers dream of entering to secure high-paying jobs. Could such a scandal really happen there?

Clicking into the story, a subordinate reported it under her real name, with irrefutable surveillance video evidence.

The male executive used his position of power in the workplace to sexually harass his female subordinate in various ways: hugging her waist, kissing her, grabbing her chest, and pressing his whole body against hers.

When the female subordinate resisted, the executive would threaten her job security.

This incident provoked widespread anger.

“The workplace is already unfair to women, and now we have executives using their status to do such things! Doesn’t your company manage this?!”

“Maybe all the executives are like this. Didn’t you see Fu Yunhan sending bags to the female streamer?”

“If this hadn’t been exposed, how many more women would have been humiliated!”

“How disgusting! I will never join this company in the future.”

“Smelly executive, when are you going to die?”

“Save the video first; it will probably be suppressed soon.”

However, strangely, the video never disappeared and remained at the top of the trending topics.

No matter how much the Fu Group worried, or how much money they spent to get the platform to remove it, angry netizens kept pushing it back up; they couldn’t delete it all.

Moreover, this very attempt at suppression galvanized the netizens, uniting them in resistance.

Watching the incident escalate, the Fu Group was helpless.

Zhou Xiaojiang shared this news with Xia Shishi, attaching screenshots of her contacting people to obtain evidence and the collective reports from all the sexually harassed women.

Xia Shishi was dumbfounded.

When she opened her phone, she was completely stunned, filled with the joy of a windfall.

Although she knew it would be difficult for Fu Yunhan to recover, as the male protagonist, there was always a chance of a comeback, so she hadn’t been overly optimistic.

She had only planned to finish university peacefully first, and then let Wen Jiao deal with the male protagonist after Wen Jiao entered the company.

After all, her wife was the ultimate beautiful villain in the book, and she believed in her wife!

Then, upon waking up, she saw this news and the message from Zhou Xiaojiang.

“My family background is very poor. Even though you always said we were good friends, I felt inferior inside. I’m sorry, I had selfish motives at the time, thinking that being with Fu Yunhan would get me what I wanted, but I understand now!”

“I contacted those people. Fu Yunhan must hate me to the core now. There is absolutely no possibility between us. I know I was wrong, Shishi, please forgive me.”

“Can we still be friends?”

A poor family background—why was Ye Murou different? She studied hard and knew how to fight for herself.

A poor family background is absolutely no excuse.

But this matter…

Watching Zhou Xiaojiang and Fu Yunhan turn against each other, Xia Shishi was shocked.

In the previous life, these two had such a good relationship. No difficulties could stop them, and they worked together to sweep aside all obstacles.

Xia Shishi had even envied them at the time, offering sincere blessings… she had indeed been severely affected in the brain back then.

Later, she learned that her world was a novel, that the male and female protagonists were supposed to be happily together, and everyone else was just a supporting character to increase the drama.

As one of the supporting characters, Xia Shishi was too clear about the power of the plot and how difficult it was to make a change.

If she had been the one to leak this news, setting aside whether she could get so much evidence, there was still the speed at which Fu Yunhan would suppress the news and the subsequent public relations response.

The exposé might fail and could even lead to a counterattack.

However, Zhou Xiaojiang was different. In a romance novel, who cares about the male protagonist? The female protagonist is the key!

So, is this what happened: because she didn’t pose any actual threat to Zhou Xiaojiang’s practical interests, Zhou Xiaojiang chose to climb this big tree instead and proceeded to chop it down?

It’s not unwelcome, but the happiness came too suddenly and with a slight sense of fear.

If Zhou Xiaojiang hadn’t sided with her but had continued to choose Fu Yunhan, she might have been the one to suffer later.

Don’t let Zhou Xiaojiang’s quiet filming fool you; when she makes a move, she astounds everyone.

Xia Shishi’s fingers trembled as she sent a message. She didn’t even dare to use voice input, afraid Zhou Xiaojiang would hear her cowardice: “I’ve already signed you up for the school anniversary performance. Have your agent contact them.”

After sending it, she put down her phone. Although she had decided to inform Zhou Xiaojiang about this matter long ago, doing it now felt really awkward.

Snapping out of it, she noticed Wen Jiao staring at her.

Wen Jiao: “You abandoned me again and thought about something else.”

Xia Shishi smiled, moved closer, hugged her, and kissed her on the face, denying it: “Not at all.”

Wen Jiao scrutinized Xia Shishi’s expression again. Imitating Xia Shishi’s usual mannerisms, she pouted with feigned annoyance: “Yes, you did.”

But her imitation wasn’t good enough; her expression was still too composed, and her tone lacked that playful fluctuation, making Xia Shishi burst into laughter and collapse onto the sofa, unable to get up.

Wen Jiao: “…”

Wen Jiao was genuinely a little bothered: “You’ve been hiding things from me for a long time.”

Now, she not only wants to keep Xia Shishi by her side but also wants to know what Xia Shishi is thinking.

She can’t stand it when Xia Shishi is lost in thought and then pretends nothing happened when she snaps out of it.

Although Xia Shishi is very proactive in expressing affection, the fact is she has secrets. Wen Jiao softened her tone: “Don’t you need my help?”

Xia Shishi got up from the sofa: “Did I ever tell you that I really like this frankness of yours?”

She leaned in for another kiss.

She truly loves how Wen Jiao doesn’t silently bear things but reveals her anxiety and hopes to Xia Shishi.

This is what makes them truly a couple.

Caring for each other, valuing each other, and wanting to communicate on the same level.

There was no longer any need for Xia Shishi to hide things from Wen Jiao.

It was time to tell her.

She hadn’t dared to before, worrying that if Wen Jiao knew about those things, she would seek revenge for her, just like in the previous life.

Pre-marriage Wen Jiao’s virtues—unassuming, patient, and steady—were also applied to her, which meant Xia Shishi didn’t truly understand Wen Jiao because she was slow; she needed a lot of time observing before she could occasionally realize things.

Honestly, a relationship like that was bound to be awkward.

If Xia Shishi hadn’t fallen for Wen Jiao and become proactive, she wouldn’t have tried to guess; she would have just sought to leave.

Without communication, the two would grow further apart.

Thinking too much, Xia Shishi looked affectionately at Wen Jiao. Now that Fu Yunhan is in this state, provoking Wen Jiao a little might be good, though it might take a lot of effort to convince her to let go of Zhou Xiaojiang for now.

“Actually, I’ve been reborn.”

“…”

“You don’t believe me?”

“Yes, you’ve been reborn.” Wen Jiao’s reaction annoyed Xia Shishi.

Xia Shishi still couldn’t tell if she believed it or not.

She repeated herself: “I am a reborn person. I went through the previous life and came back.”

Wen Jiao was struggling to find the right words: “Then you must have lived a long time. Why are you still so much like a child?”

She didn’t look like someone who had experienced more than her.

Xia Shishi: “…I died at the age of twenty-two in the previous life.”

No matter what, Wen Jiao is twenty-seven now!

In that case, Wen Jiao would be a full five years older than her, and age shouldn’t be the main point. Wen Jiao was mature for her age and probably understood things better than Xia Shishi even when she was very young.

But hearing that she was “like a child” made Xia Shishi a bit angry. She placed her hands on her hips defiantly: “Sister, think more before you speak next time!”

Wen Jiao looked at her with deep eyes: “You said, twenty-two?”

Xia Shishi: “Yes.”

That’s why she always said Wen Jiao lived longer than her.

Both in terms of age and within the plot.

After Xia Shishi died, Wen Jiao still had a lot of time to avenge her, but unfortunately, Fu Yunhan and his group still won in the end.

Xia Shishi wasn’t too worried about Wen Jiao’s health. She thought that if she couldn’t deal with Fu Yunhan and the others, she would die early, and Wen Jiao would once again follow the same path because of her.

Now that this matter is handled, she has plenty of time to accompany Wen Jiao during her recovery.

It’s better now; Wen Jiao’s health has improved, and the surgery was successful. She will soon be able to live like a normal person.

And Fu Yunhan, by opposing Zhou Xiaojiang, has a new ending. That’s really good.

The next thing Xia Shishi had to say was a bit difficult: “In my previous life, I was deceived by villains and met a tragic end. In this life, I want to take back everything that belongs to me!”

Wen Jiao looked at her with dark eyes, seeming to understand why Xia Shishi was so determined to bring down Fu Yunhan: “Is it him?”

Xia Shishi nodded: “It was her.”

She pulled out her phone, found the message Zhou Xiaojiang had just sent, and handed it to Wen Jiao: “It’s all good now. The two of them have parted ways, and Fu Yunhan is completely finished.”

As for Zhou Xiaojiang, the female lead who decisively sacrificed her for her own gain, Xia Shishi scratched her head.

She couldn’t possibly make Zhou Xiaojiang die. She is a law-abiding person and won’t commit crimes.

Even if she wanted revenge on Zhou Xiaojiang, first of all, Zhou Xiaojiang hasn’t had the chance to do those malicious things in this life. At most, she gave money to Qi Xue to secretly smear Wen Jiao and frame Xia Shishi.

But these things would not cause much damage to Zhou Xiaojiang, not even comparable to Qi Xue’s actions.

Now, Zhou Xiaojiang choosing to abandon her male lead is already a very satisfying outcome, but Xia Shishi won’t be happy just because their relationship broke down, because she realized that Zhou Xiaojiang never truly loved Fu Yunhan; this hardly counts as revenge.

What can Xia Shishi do now? Freeze her career.

She could use contract loopholes to make Zhou Xiaojiang film some low-budget productions, thus fulfilling the contract.

However, Fu Yunhan’s recent news showed Xia Shishi how powerful the golden finger the female lead possesses in terms of traffic, once she officially enters the storyline.

Fu Yunhan couldn’t suppress her exposé, and even if Xia Shishi only gave her low-budget dramas, she couldn’t stop Zhou Xiaojiang from becoming extremely popular.

Perhaps this woman, when she gets ruthless again, will directly eliminate her annoying superior and turn the script into a major female lead drama, but then Xia Shishi would be dead!

After so much thought, the only conclusion was one reason.

The ending has already changed. As long as she maintains a lukewarm working relationship with Zhou Xiaojiang, there won’t be any accidents. Wen Jiao’s health has improved, and the two are married. What could be better?

Must she gamble with an uncertain factor just for revenge?

What if she still can’t defeat Zhou Xiaojiang? Wouldn’t that be seeking death?

Anyway, the outcome has already changed.

Xia Shishi admitted she was still cowardly.

She thought, the worst people in the world are capitalists, the most hateful are capitalists, and the most annoying thing is being exploited by capitalists. She will exploit Zhou Xiaojiang for a full ten years; that will vent her anger.

She truly regretted not signing a twenty-year contract directly.

Wen Jiao finished reading the message and handed the phone back to Xia Shishi: “So, how do you plan to deal with Zhou Xiaojiang?”

Xia Shishi: “Hmm…” She shared all her thoughts.

When Wen Jiao heard Xia Shishi curse the damn capitalists, she subtly reminded her: “I also run a company.”

She, too, is one of the “damn capitalists” in Xia Shishi’s words.

Xia Shishi was unmoved: “Me too! I will definitely inherit my parents’ company in the future and send them off to retirement, where they can be like Grandpa Wen. I was the daughter of a damn capitalist, now I am the wife of a damn capitalist, and in the future, I will become a damn capitalist. I’m cursing myself so harshly.”

“But the benefits of being a damn capitalist make me not mind being cursed, because it’s really satisfying.”

Wen Jiao shook her head helplessly: “I will not exploit employees or allow executives to sexually harass female subordinates.”

She has never allowed such things to happen.
