161: Chapter 161 He Reaps What He Sows

Wang Kaiming became more and more agitated as he spoke, grabbing Lin Xiaomeng's hair and yanking it hard, causing her to scream and beg for mercy.

"I was wrong, it was all my fault. Please, for the sake of the time we slept together, just forgive me this once!"

The mention of it only made him angrier. Wang Kaiming slapped Lin Xiaomeng across the face.

"Slap!"

Lin Xiaomeng fell to the ground. Wang Kaiming followed up with a kick and cursed.

"Are you studded with diamonds? It was only a few times, two million yuan. Do you think you're a fairy?!"

Pillar really couldn't watch anymore and shouted,

"That's enough!"

Wang Kaiming turned his head and said with a sly grin,

"Brother, this is our family's internal dispute. Don't get involved. Today I must teach this slut a lesson, or she won't even know her own last name!"

After speaking, Wang Kaiming squatted in front of Lin Xiaomeng, swaggeringly grabbing her hair and shouting,

"Speak up. Two million. How will you pay it back?"

"Wuwu..."

Lin Xiaomeng was crying heartbrokenly. This was two million yuan; even selling herself wouldn't cover that debt.

"Wuwu, please spare me this time, considering how obedient I used to be to you. I won't dare again."

Pillar still had a fairly upright moral compass and couldn't stand seeing a man hit a woman. He stood up, ready to rush over and break up the fight.

Li Yang and Huang Tao quickly held Pillar back when they saw this.

"Brother Pillar, don't get worked up. This is their private matter. As the saying goes, even an honest official can't settle household disputes. You shouldn't interfere."

"Exactly, this is their family affair. It's inappropriate for you to get involved."

Seeing that someone was about to help her, Lin Xiaomeng shoved Wang Kaiming away and stumbled toward Brother Pillar.

"Big Brother, please save me! If you can save me, I'll do anything you ask. Please!"

Lin Xiaomeng knelt down, utterly wronged, pleading. Anyone who saw her would find her pitiful.

Pillar did indeed feel a pang of compassion, if only because she was Chen Hao's ex-girlfriend.

"You slut! If you're a man, you'll fawn over her! Watch me beat you to death today!"

Wang Kaiming cursed furiously.

Lin Xiaomeng staggered and grabbed Brother Pillar's thigh.

"Big Brother, save me!"

Pillar casually picked up a wine bottle.

"Know when to stop. Don't force me to smash you!"

The scene was chaotic. It wasn't exactly a direct confrontation; many people were actively trying to mediate, trying to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control.

"Damn it, Lin Xiaomeng, you can run today but not tomorrow! The vase you broke was an antique worth 1.8 million! If you don't pay me, I'll make your parents sell their house to cover the debt!"

Wang Kaiming, being held back, could only rage impotently.

Huang Tao had a sudden inspiration and thought of a solution.

"I have a solution. Everyone stop arguing and listen to me!"

Everyone looked at him in unison. Huang Tao said seriously,

"I happen to have a mortgage installment payment contract here. Have her sign it. She can pay back the 1.8 million in installments, okay?"

"What 1.8 million? It's 2 million!" Wang Kaiming corrected him promptly.

"No matter the amount, as long as she signs this contract, she will be legally required to pay in installments."

Huang Tao produced the contract while speaking and whispered to Wang Kaiming,

"You can't get the money by beating her to death now. You can't force a good woman into prostitution, can you? Trust me, this is the best solution."

Wang Kaiming had no choice but to compromise and began reading the contract seriously.

Others didn't know, but Pillar did. This contract was essentially a loan shark agreement. If Lin Xiaomeng signed it, she would be trapped for life. Just as he was about to stop it, he was held back by Liuzi.

"Brother Pillar, ultimately this is between a couple. Don't play the hero!"

When the commotion was at its height, Liuzi, that old schemer, had secretly asked Pang Dahai. Upon hearing about the installment mortgage contract, both Chen Hao and Pang Dahai had an idea.

Isn't this a case of someone delivering a pillow just as they were about to sleep?

This was a perfect opportunity to use Lin Xiaomeng to understand the inside story of installment mortgages.

"Let her sign it!"

That's why Liuzi stopped Brother Pillar at this moment.

Pillar wasn't foolish either. Seeing Liuzi constantly winking at him, he finally realized what was happening belatedly and could only sit aside in silence.

Lin Xiaomeng saw that the men couldn't be relied upon, and her last hope was dashed. She could only swallow her anger and, under Manager Huang's instruction, sign the installment repayment contract that symbolized her humiliation.

"Great! Three copies in total. You two each get one, and I'll take one as a witness. You, as the payer, must make your monthly payments on time. Absolutely do not forget, okay?"

Wang Kaiming looked over the contract repeatedly. After confirming everything, the gloom in his heart vanished completely. He put his arms around the hostesses, draping himself over them intimately.

Lin Xiaomeng was truly on the verge of collapse, burdened with a massive debt of two million yuan for no reason. It was all Wang Kaiming's fault, that scumbag.

Because of him, she had dumped Chen Hao, who used to be completely devoted to her.

Because of him, she had become a joke.

Because of him, she lost her job, lost her love, lost everything!

It was all because of him!

At this moment, Lin Xiaomeng hated Wang Kaiming to the core.

When comparing people, the contrast between Wang Kaiming and Chen Hao was stark.

She must have been blind before to have been deceived by Wang Kaiming. It was all because her heart was clouded by greed.

Thinking of Chen Hao, it seemed she hadn't reached a dead end yet.

Didn't Chen Hao receive compensation from the company? Over a million yuan.

As long as she went to beg Chen Hao, apologize, and admit her mistake, Chen Hao would definitely use all his savings to help her pay off the debt.

That's right, Chen Hao, the backup plan, was her last hope.

"Can I leave now?"

"Get lost, you slut! Don't let me see you again, you trash, you whore, you cheap tramp!"

Amidst Wang Kaiming's curses, Lin Xiaomeng tearfully walked out of the private room, leaving that sad place.

Inside the private room, the revelry continued.

Wang Kaiming boasted,

"Actually, the vase she broke was just a decorative piece, not worth much. Making her pay 2 million was entirely her own fault for asking for it."

"Furthermore, what you all don't know is that she's also Chen Hao's ex-girlfriend. By humiliating her like this, I'm also humiliating Chen Hao."

"Also, don't blame me for being ruthless. If I weren't ruthless, who would pay for the bonus money to deal with Chen Hao, right? Hahaha..."

Wang Kaiming's brazenness made the entire room full of scoundrels burst into laughter.

"So that's how it is. He made his move."

Pillar and Liuzi couldn't smile. They just drank silently, recording this entire scene.

...

In the car.

"Scumbag!"

Pang Dahai had never seen such a degenerate in his life. Calling Wang Kaiming an animal was an insult to animals; Wang Kaiming's wickedness was worse than that of a beast.

Chen Hao witnessed the whole thing. He felt little pity for Lin Xiaomeng's ordeal. Perhaps his heart was already shattered, and he couldn't muster even a shred of sympathy now.

Outside the clubhouse entrance.

Lin Xiaomeng ran out, looking around on the street. She hailed a taxi and left the place of misery immediately.

Pang Dahai asked tentatively,

"Aren't you going to comfort her?"

Chen Hao said very calmly,

"I won't go. I don't want her to cling to me again. Since Pillar showed his face, I'll have Pillar contact her later, print out a copy of the contract, and we can trace the loan line from there."
