"Fine, you shameless little hussy, always sticking your ass out and flaunting your two ounces of flesh trying to seduce men. You can seduce other people's men, but you've gone and tried to steal my man! See how I deal with you today!"
As the rich woman spoke, she put her hands on her hips and slapped him hard across the face.
The slap left Cao Xueying dazed and confused, her cheek swollen and her ears ringing. It took her a long time to come to her senses.
"You...you...you dare hit me!"
"Pah! I'll hit you, so what? You slut, you slept with my old man and you can't even be talked about! You're so young and you do such a shameless thing, I don't know how your mother raised you! If you ask me, your whole family is rotten, otherwise they wouldn't have raised such a piece of trash as you."
Cao Xueying was raised by Aunt Cao. This woman, Cao Xueying, didn't have a mother to teach her. In the end, she was just insulting Aunt Cao.
Aunt Qiao and Aunt Chen both peeked out, feigning concern, but actually just watching the spectacle.
Aunt Cao has lived here for half her life, and she still cares about her reputation. Not only did she encounter such a shameful thing, but her son was also arrested and detained by the police.
With a good-for-nothing son and a worthless granddaughter, Aunt Cao has spent her whole life working hard for these two.
Unfortunately, what the woman was saying was true. Cao Xueying did have an affair with that old man, and he gave her a lot of money. However, the old man's wife was a shrew, and his children were also capable, so they successively took control of the family business.
The old man was giving Cao Xueying less and less money, and Cao Xueying had long planned to break up with him, but she hadn't yet because she wanted to get more money. Who knew that the old woman would come knocking on their door again and make such a big fuss, making the Cao family lose face.
Aunt Cao turned and stormed off in anger, yelling, "I'm not going to deal with your mess anymore! You figure it out yourself!"
Cao Xueying thought her grandmother would help her beat the old woman, but to her surprise, her grandmother turned around and left. Cao Xueying was outnumbered and afraid that things would escalate, so she could only cry in grievance.
The rich woman got angry as soon as she saw Cao Xueying's delicate appearance. Cao Xueying had used this trick to please the old man many times. The rich woman thought about how she had worked hard to save money, how she had scrimped and saved, and how she had finally raised her children.
The old man, on the other hand, took all the family's money and gave it to Cao Xueying to spend.
Unable to swallow her anger, she slapped him again, growing angrier and more energetic with each blow.
"I'll teach you to be shameless! I'll teach you to be a slut! Your tricks only work on men, they have absolutely no effect on my wife. How much money did you spend on my old man? Today I'm going to make you spit it out!"
Cao Xueying was so badly beaten that she lost all face and dignity. Her face was swollen, and her eyes and mouth were covered in bruises.
Perhaps the blow was too great, because he was hospitalized that night and didn't get out of bed for a long time.
The Chu family thus gained peace and quiet.
Shu Hui breathed a sigh of relief. For the next few nights, she no longer worried about someone popping out of the alley and following her home, nor did she have to worry about any girl being alone and being targeted by Cao Gang.
Upon hearing that Cao Xueying had been beaten and hospitalized, Chu Yu felt that the incident was too coincidental.
She always felt that there was no such coincidence in the world. Just after Cao Gang was imprisoned, Cao Xueying was beaten to the point of being bedridden.
Chen Qiufen had taken the past few days off, and Chu Yu hadn't seen her. Zhang Ying leaned over and, looking at Chen Qiufen's empty seat, said:
"Chen Qiufang is a nice person, it's just that her mother is a bit aggressive. She probably felt ashamed and embarrassed to come."
Chu Yu isn't a saint. Mother and daughter are of one mind. Even if Chen Qiufen is unaware of her mother's behavior, the two are still on the same side. Chen's mother has offended her by making such a fuss, and she doesn't have the kindness to think of Chen Qiufen's feelings in every way.
In early spring, the movie "Young and Dangerous 2," a collaboration between Chu Yu and Xin Yi Cheng, has already finished its theatrical run.
Following the success of "Young and Dangerous 1", the second installment received additional investment, featuring grander explosion and action scenes, as well as location shooting, making it a much more refined production than the first film.
With the addition of gangsters, nude swimming, female thugs, and the sexy Anna, the film is filled with hot and eye-catching scenes, and the script is also very solid.
Thanks to the efforts of many parties, this movie became even more popular than the first one. Despite the vigorous promotion by Xinyi City, Chu Yu's film company, Hua Lai, hardly participated in the overall promotion of the film, yet it still garnered a box office of nearly 30 million.
It's worth noting that last year's box office champion only grossed a little over 29 million Hong Kong dollars.
Last year, the average ticket price for a movie in Hong Kong was HK$16, so HK$29 million means that more than 1.8 million people watched this movie.
The total population of the port city last year was approximately 5.5 million.
That means one-third of people went to the cinema to watch last year's box office champion film.
This year, "Young and Dangerous 2" faced competition from several well-known film companies at the same time. Some of these films starred popular male and female celebrities from Hong Kong, and their screenwriters and production teams were also top-notch.
It's truly a battle of gods.
This is the kind of thing that happens when a movie is released.
Chu Yu and Long Cheng spoke on the phone; they would increase their promotional efforts, but they shouldn't have too high expectations.
Unexpectedly, "Young and Dangerous 2" outshone a host of well-known movie stars, giving them a surprise beyond their expectations.
Several well-known films released at the same time had box office earnings of 28 million, 26.9 million, and 25 million respectively.
Several films were neck and neck, with little difference in box office revenue.
Although "Young and Dangerous 2" has the foundation of the first film, the leading actors are not any of the top stars. Whether it is Wang Yuling, Tang Zhenni, or Ai Fang who plays the sexy female boss, none of them have much acting experience. It is no exaggeration to say that they were rushed into the role.
But it was this group of newcomers who carried the entire film, allowing "Young and Dangerous 2" to surpass the superstars of the same period and become the box office champion of its time.
