Chapter 1087: The Gentle Neighbor's Drama Queen Sweetheart 15

Zhong Yu continued busy with filming work, Jin Chen also wasn't idle, the plan proceeded steadily.

Xue Yuanjing lay in the hospital for two days, insisting his whole body felt uncomfortable, but the doctor found nothing wrong—not even an internal injury, not even a superficial wound.

He had planned to wake up and try the bitter meat ploy on Xu You, but it only ended up hurting himself for nothing.

Just as his bodily pain eased, Xue Yuanjing was discharged under the doctor's gaze of driving away plague spirits; it was night.

He no longer paid He Jiao any mind, answered two calls perfunctorily, learned that Xu You was gathering with friends at the Zero Degree Club, and without hesitation drove over.

Xu You had a private room at the Zero Degree Club; previously whenever he came to gather or drink for leisure he would bring Xue Yuanjing, but this time Xue Yuanjing went up to the sixth floor alone for the first time.

Debauchery and extravagant wealth—such thoughts occur to every ordinary person stepping onto the sixth floor, and Xue Yuanjing was no exception.

He followed his memory to the end of the corridor, regretting more with each step.

Back when he and Xu You were together years ago, he had truly thought to cherish them properly, but Xu Young Master's temperament was aloof and proud; no matter how much he loved, Xu You always remained lofty.

Xue Yuanjing felt he was, after all, a grown man; after enduring two or three years, he got together with his secretary He Jiao.

He Jiao was so obedient, listening to him in everything; Xue Yuanjing lost himself in growing desire, soon forgetting that all he possessed came from Xu You—if Xu You wanted to take it back, he'd have nothing.

Relying on his status as Xu You's boyfriend, no doorman dared stop him; he pushed the door open and entered.

The room was large; Xu You and a few friends were drinking and chatting casually, but his smile faded when he saw Xue Yuanjing, he lowered his eyes and stayed silent, yet did not immediately have him expelled.

Their friends obviously knew what was going on between them; after exchanging a few glances they rose to leave, saying they had affairs at home and needed to return early.

As the few people walked past Xue Yuanjing heading out, their gazes held contempt and scrutiny.

Xue Yuanjing clenched his fists, his face turning somewhat grim.

In just a few seconds, only the two of them remained in the room.

"…Xiao You, are you still angry?"

Xue Yuanjing asked tentatively.

"Tsk."

Xu You gave a cold laugh, lifted his eyes to him, and said, "I haven't lost my memory—what do you say?"

These past two days, Jin Chen has been quietly feeding Xu You solid evidence of Xue Yuanjing's infidelity.

Xu You not only didn't forgive him as the original plot dictated, but the anger in his heart burned ever hotter.

Xue Yuanjing quickly stepped forward, repeated his old trick by dropping to his knees, leaning on Xu You's leg, weeping bitterly with every word full of feeling.

"Xiao You… believe me, there won't be a next time; the only person I love is you."

"I've been foolish before, it's my fault; give me another chance—considering our years together, I could give up everything, but I truly cannot lose you."

After Xu You heard him finish, he saw his face streaked with tears, every word choked with sobs.

Though his cold expression still held a hint of reluctance, he tossed a tissue to Xue Yuanjing, yet did not forgive him outright.

"Cut ties cleanly with that secretary of yours, then come explain—get out."

"…Okay! Okay, rest assured, I won't do it again—I'm leaving now."

Seeing Xu You's softened heart, Xue Yuanjing knew he'd made major progress, but he was still driven out of the room.

As he left, he looked somewhat disheveled.

Upon reaching the first floor, Xue Yuanjing originally wanted to leave straight away, not wishing to linger and lose face here.

"Sir, would you like to have a drink together?"

A handsome, slender youth approached holding two glasses of wine, smiling alluringly, his gaze captivating—he actually resembled Xu You's eyebrows and eyes by two parts.

The dim, gorgeous lights beside the dance floor somehow turned that two-part resemblance into five.

Xue Yuanjing wasn't in the mood for it, yet he spaced out a bit, almost thinking he'd misseen.

Having just cried and coaxed for so long, Xue Yuanjing was already thirsty; he picked up a drink, downed it, then casually tossed the cup aside.

"Move." Xue Yuanjing said, his tone angry.

The youth's smile grew brighter, he circled to Xue Yuanjing's front, pretended to slip, and fell limp into his arms, spilling the other cup's wine onto Xue Yuanjing's shoulder.

"Sorry, sir!"

The youth flustered, red-rimmed eyes wiping Xue Yuanjing's shoulder, the body that had fallen into his embrace writhing.

In the dim clamor, Xue Yuanjing stared at those eyes, suddenly his throat went dry, an inexplicable heat surging up.

He suddenly grabbed the youth's wrist, "Don't wipe it."

The youth's tears fell, his allure mixed with a touch of pitiful charm—an expression Xu You would never have.

Xue Yuanjing's desire to humiliate flared with the heat.

……

Five minutes later, the top floor of the club.

"Boss, Xue Yuanjing has taken the person you arranged and opened a room."

Jin Chen leaned against the chair back listening to the internal line, posture relaxed, long legs stretched out.

"Keep a few more photos, let Zhou Yao get ready."

"Understood."

Jin Chen rose, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down from above at the exterior of the club.

【Host, are you sure the protagonist will take the bait? I feel he's hard to handle.】

【Of course.】

Xu You alone drank half a bottle of wine, his mind remained clear, and he had calmed considerably.

He sighed wearily, pinching his brow.

Just as he stepped out of the room preparing to leave, the manager in charge of the sixth floor hurried over, deliberately avoiding others, and handed him the latest surveillance footage and photos.

"Young Master Xu… please take a look at this."

"Since the last incident, we've been closely monitoring Mr. Xue for you; I never expected this to happen tonight."

Xu You took the video dubiously; after just a few seconds, his face darkened completely, and he could even recall how sincere Xue Yuanjing had been when he knelt on the ground moments before.

He habitually lies.

Manager: "Young Master Xu, rest assured, the video will be destroyed immediately after you watch it."

Xu You gave a cold hum, suppressed his anger, and strode into the elevator.

From the sixth to the first floor, he stood in the elevator, feeling that his earlier soft-heartedness was not worth it.

After all, it's just because of the feelings from these past years, and the kindness Xue Yuanjing showed when they first met.

But Xue Yuanjing is now utterly corrupt.

When the elevator doors opened, Xu You's face turned chilly; he called his assistant to cancel all of Xue Yuanjing's cards, as well as the villa, property, and resources given to him.

After blacklisting all contact methods, Xu You slowly exhaled a foul breath; the night air outside the main gate was biting.

"What right do you have to keep me out! Is it just because I didn't buy a membership? What are you even?"

At the entrance, someone was causing a scene, face flushed, as if drunk, waving a broken beer bottle and causing a disturbance.

The security guards surrounded him to prevent other patrons from being affected.

Xu You instinctively frowned and quickened his pace to leave.

But the moment he stepped out, the troublemaker suddenly burst from the circle, shouting, "I'll ruin your business!"

Xu You startled, looked up, and saw a shard of the beer bottle coming down hard.

"Watch out!"

Before he could react, Xu You was pulled around, a muffled grunt sounded in his ear, and the air carried an unfamiliar mint scent…and the smell of blood.
