After a moment's thought, Qingyun realized his current predicament.
This was yet another trap set by the protagonist. He drugged Xiao Chengnuo, then instructed Secretary Miao to bring him back to his room, drag him to bed, and stage a rape. Before long, the protagonist of this world—Xiao Chengnuo's older brother, Xiao Chengzhe—will bring their father to "visit" his brother, who can't hold his liquor.
His stubborn and old-fashioned father, who had high hopes for his son, was furious when he discovered that his son had raped his secretary less than two months after joining the Xiao family business and immediately kicked Xiao Chengnuo out of the house.
"Second Young Master...you...you're the one who dragged me in here!" Secretary Miao reacted quickly, immediately covering her face and sobbing uncontrollably. She was frantic; the eldest young master was about to arrive with the president, and Xiao Chengnuo hadn't even taken his pants off yet—how could she accuse him of rape?
Thinking this, Secretary Miao peeked at Xiao Chengnuo through her fingers.
Upon seeing this, she was immediately stunned, as if struck by lightning. This Second Young Master Xiao had clearly been drugged, and his body was reacting very strongly. Yet, he seemed completely unaffected, even more composed than she was.
She administered a very generous dose of the drug; could it be that Young Master Xiao has something wrong with him?
"Oh, then you can leave." Qingyun glanced at her coldly.
Leave? How is she going to ask the young master for money if this doesn't work out?
"Second Young Master, how could you do this? I... I was..." Secretary Miao stared wide-eyed at Qingyun, tears streaming down her face. Dealing with a greenhorn like Second Young Master Xiao, who had just graduated from university, was a piece of cake for her.
"Oh? What did I do to you?" Qingyun lowered her head and tugged at the buttons on her collar. Secretary Miao had given her too much medication, and it would take some time to completely eliminate the effects. Right now, she was only conscious, but her body was still not quite right.
Secretary Miao choked up. To be honest, Young Master Xiao hadn't actually done anything to her. The two had just fallen onto the bed when Young Master Xiao sprang up like a spring. At this point, Secretary Miao had only suffered a slight ripple in her hair.
She looked at the tall, elegant man before her, his collar slightly open, exuding an inexplicable allure, and a thought suddenly struck her. She couldn't do what Young Master Xiao had asked of her, but getting involved with Second Young Master Xiao wouldn't be bad. When the staid President Xiao arrived later, who knew she might even be able to marry into the Xiao family.
Thinking this, Secretary Miao propped herself up and lunged at Qingyun with a frail, boneless gait, but Qingyun dodged to the side. Secretary Miao's lunge landed squarely on the ground.
"Click"
The door opened.
Seeing Secretary Miao lying on the ground, Xiao Chengzhe's smile froze, and all the prepared words got stuck in his throat.
But he immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed, "Secretary Miao, Xiao Nuo, you..."
As he spoke, Xiao Chengzhe subtly winked at Secretary Miao.
Secretary Miao understood and lay on the ground, sobbing again. As she cried, she twisted her body on the ground, and the straps of her dark red evening dress came undone, making her look like she had been thoroughly ravaged.
Xiao Chengzhe looked embarrassed and made a move to close the door. However, a pair of strong hands braced against the door and slowly opened it.
"Dad!" Xiao Chengzhe looked at the person who came, then at Xiao Chengnuo, who was standing in the room with a gloomy expression, and looked troubled.
"What are you blocking? Do you think you can stop him?!" Mr. Xiao walked in with a dark face, his tone full of disappointment. He looked at Xiao Chengnuo with a sinister expression, as if he wanted to beat this unfilial son to death on the spot.
"President...President...Second Young Master...he..." Secretary Miao half-propped herself up, her hair disheveled, looking at Xiao's father, seemingly in too much pain to speak.
"Cheng Zhe, quickly take Secretary Miao to handle this!" Mr. Xiao hurriedly said to Xiao Cheng Zhe.
Xiao Chengzhe did as instructed, helping Secretary Miao up and taking her to the bathroom, a hint of smugness flashing in his lowered eyes.
Qingyun glanced at him. Why would Xiao Chengzhe, the eldest young master of the Xiao family, frame Xiao Chengnuo? Because Xiao Chengzhe was only adopted. His real name was Chengzhe, and he was the son of Xiao's father's business partner.
Years ago, Xiao's father and his business partner had a disagreement. The partner angrily drove home and was involved in a car accident, leaving behind his son who was still in kindergarten. Xiao's father felt guilty and adopted Cheng Zhe.
However, Cheng Zhe completely blamed Xiao's father for his father's death. He had absolutely no sense of belonging to the Xiao family. His goal was to drive Xiao Chengnuo away and rightfully take over the Xiao family.
Looking at Xiao Chengnuo, who stood there without any remorse, Xiao's father was furious and raised his hand to slap him.
Qingyun turned her head away and narrowed her eyes as she looked at Xiao's father, who was blaming her without explanation.
Xiao Chengnuo's father, who built his fortune from scratch, had high hopes for his son and was extremely strict with him. Xiao Chengzhe saw this in his father and thus forced Xiao Chengnuo to become the kind of spoiled brat his father disliked most. Xiao Chengnuo did everything imaginable that was disliked: forging report cards, speeding, causing trouble.
Xiao Chengnuo wasn't stupid, but he genuinely treated Xiao Chengzhe like an older brother. He even tried to stir up trouble to get Xiao's father's attention, but under Xiao Chengzhe's guidance, he repeatedly made things worse.
However, Xiao Chengzhe's perfect pretense in front of his father only highlighted Xiao Chengnuo's unreliability.
"You're still hiding! You've only been with the company for a few days and you've already done something so shameful. How am I supposed to explain this to Secretary Miao?" Mr. Xiao's eyes widened, but the more he spoke, the more helpless he became. His second son always disappointed him, and this time he had crossed Mr. Xiao's bottom line.
Xiao Chengzhe and Zou Qiyao have completely opposite personalities, but they hit it off immediately after their first meeting and became inseparable brothers. Following the predetermined course of this world, Zou Minchen unexpectedly handed over the vast Zou Group to Zou Qiyao.
