Chapter 125: First Love

Faced with humiliation from a fellow woman, the actress felt deeply infuriated, yet she didn’t dare show it. Biting her lip, she put her clothes back on, then looked at Zhang Kai and asked, "Young Master Zhang, what about what you promised me..."

"I know, I know. I’ll talk to Director Liu about the production." Before she could finish, Zhang Kai waved his hand impatiently, signaling for her to get lost.

The brother and sister both had a condescending attitude, treating the actress like absolute trash. Suppressing the resentment in her heart, the actress feigned a respectful and obedient demeanor and walked out.

"Kai, you should stop fooling around with these cheap actresses. Careful not to catch a disease." Even after the actress had left, Zhang Ruoshi didn’t forget to hurl one last insult at her. She considered herself above the fray and never associated with women in the entertainment industry. She believed they all slept their way to the top and were utterly filthy.

Zhang Kai picked up the imported liquor on the table and poured himself a glass. Leaning nonchalantly against the window, he took a small sip and raised an eyebrow. "I can handle my own affairs. Speak up, what are you here for?"

"I remember you used to really like Yang Bingyu, Kai. Why aren’t you pursuing her anymore?" Zhang Ruoshi deliberately beat around the bush, bringing up Zhang Kai’s old history.

Back in high school, Zhang Kai and Yang Bingyu had attended the same elite academy. He had fallen for her at first sight and launched a frantic pursuit. His crush on Yang Bingyu had been so intense and high-profile that the entire school knew about it; it was a spectacular spectacle.

However, Yang Bingyu had never looked at him twice and completely ignored his advances. After more than half a year of pursuing her with no progress, Zhang Kai couldn’t bear the humiliation any longer and simply gave up. Later, the Zhang family arranged for him to study abroad. There, he fell in with a bad crowd and played around with countless women. His feelings for Yang Bingyu gradually faded into obscurity.

He hadn’t expected his own sister to suddenly bring it up today. Zhang Kai’s eyes darkened. Half-squinting at Zhang Ruoshi, he asked, "Why are you bringing this woman up out of nowhere? Haven’t you always hated her?

"Back when I was pursuing Yang Bingyu, you even threatened me. You said if I got together with her, you’d disown me."

When Zhang Ruoshi first found out her brother liked Yang Bingyu, she had thrown massive tantrums at home, crying, screaming, and threatening suicide to stop him from liking her. For her to suddenly bring it up now, she was definitely up to no good.

"I do hate her. If you marry her into this family, I’ll beat you to death," Zhang Ruoshi said, flashing her fist at Zhang Kai and pouting threateningly.

"Alright, alright. She doesn’t even care about me, so stop bringing up this useless nonsense." Zhang Kai rolled his eyes at Zhang Ruoshi and downed the liquor in his glass in one gulp.

Thinking back to when Yang Bingyu rejected him, a wave of irritation rose in his heart. He used to think Yang Bingyu was just too arrogant and snobby, turning her nose up even at him because she wanted to marry into one of the great Noble Families of Jingcheng as a Young Madam. Who would have thought that a while ago, news would break that she was engaged to a boy toy.

This made Zhang Kai extremely furious. Was Yang Bingyu out of her mind? Rejecting a rich, handsome man like him for a piece of trash who relied on a woman to feed him?

"Heh, she looked down on you before because she was Miss Yang the Elder. What right does she have to look down on you now?" Zhang Ruoshi said dismissively.

"So what? Isn’t she already engaged? Am I supposed to mess with a taken woman?" Zhang Kai asked his sister speechlessly. He had long since gotten over it. So what if Yang Bingyu didn’t like him? Plenty of women threw themselves at him.

"Heh, Kai, if Yang Bingyu can get engaged to a boy toy like that, what’s wrong with having a little fun with you?

"The Yang family probably completely gave up on her after finding out she wasn’t of their bloodline. Otherwise, why would they let her get engaged to that piece of trash?

"Without the Yang family backing her, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake for you to do whatever you want with her? Even if you really slept with her, I don’t believe her worthless fiancé would dare do a thing to you.

"He’d just have to swallow his pride and accept being cuckolded."

Zhang Ruoshi nudged Zhang Kai’s shoulder with a sinister smile. She would never allow Yang Bingyu to marry into the Zhang family, but she hadn’t said her brother couldn’t sleep with her. Sleeping with women who sold their bodies to climb the ladder was far worse than sleeping with Yang Bingyu, who was at least much cleaner than the rest.

Hearing Zhang Ruoshi’s words, Zhang Kai couldn’t help but feel tempted. If he could really get his hands on Yang Bingyu, he’d wake up laughing in the middle of the night.

However, Zhang Kai was still a bit cowardly. Although Yang Bingyu wasn’t of the Yang family bloodline, she was at least still publicly known as Miss Yang the Elder. While the Zhang family had immense wealth, compared to the Yang family, they still lacked certain connections.

"You coward. You don’t even dare to touch Yang Bingyu now? No wonder you couldn’t get her back in school." Seeing Zhang Kai’s hesitation, Zhang Ruoshi felt a surge of contempt, curling her lip in disdain.

Provoked by her words, the sliver of apprehension in Zhang Kai’s heart instantly vanished. He shot to his feet, straightened his bathrobe, and put on an aggressive front. "Who says I don’t dare? Just you wait! I’m going to get Yang Bingyu in my bed tonight!"

Seeing him take the bait, a triumphant smile spread across Zhang Ruoshi’s face. "She’s at the Star Moon Bar right now. Kai, you’d better seize the opportunity this time."

After giving Zhang Kai her location, Zhang Ruoshi smiled and returned to her room. She thought, "Yang Bingyu, this is what happens when you cross me."

Zhang Kai quickly got ready. To see Yang Bingyu, he even took the time to freshen up, slicking his hair back until it gleamed.

When he arrived at the bar, the manager greeted him with immense enthusiasm and a beaming smile. "Young Master Zhang! What brings you here today? How would you like to spend the evening? The usual? I’ll go get Moli."

Zhang Kai was an extremely generous spender, generally dropping over five hundred thousand a night. If he was in high spirits, he would often wave his hand and foot the bill for the entire bar. Whenever he showed up, the bar’s revenue would spike by at least ten percent.

The Moli that the manager mentioned was Zhang Kai’s regular fling at the Star Moon Bar. Every time Zhang Kai came here, he would undoubtedly ask for her.

The manager had been about to send someone to fetch Moli, but Zhang Kai waved his hand to stop him. "No need. I won’t be seeing Moli tonight. I heard Yang Bingyu is here. Take me to her."

This slightly surprised the manager, but he complied with the instructions anyway. It wasn’t up to small fries like him to second-guess what a VIP patron wanted to do. If he didn’t want Moli, then they wouldn’t call Moli.

"Miss Yang the Elder is right over there. I’ll take you to her."
