Chapter 17: To Desecrate Her is a Sin

He walked over quickly, bent down, and picked up the ointment, examining it.

—Unopened?

She hadn't used it!

"Huh." Fu Hanjiang sneered, "Addicted to playing the victim to gain sympathy?"

If she didn't want to use it, so be it.

Did she think he would care?

Just thinking about what she did to Yao Leyi three years ago made him feel he had already been more than merciful to her!

He raised his arm and threw the ointment into the trash can.

...

Leaving Silver Beach, Sheng Xiangsi turned on her phone and opened WeChat to contact the rental agent. She spent the whole day looking at houses.

By evening, she finally found a decent one.

The house was in the old district, very small and shabby, but it had a kitchen and bathroom, which meant she could cook and bathe.

She had no choice; her money needed to be saved, so she could only rent such a house.

Agent: "How about it? Does it work for you?"

Sheng Xiangsi: "It's fine."

Agent: "Then let's sign the contract. After that, I'll confirm with the landlord, and if there are no issues, you can move in within the next two days."

"Really? That's great, thank you."

With the housing issue resolved, a weight was lifted off Sheng Xiangsi's mind.

That night, she finally had a good night's sleep.

Meanwhile, as usual, Fu Hanjiang did not come home all night.

...

Today was Friday.

Sheng Xiangsi slept well during the day to recharge her energy, as tonight was her debut performance, and nothing could go wrong.

On the first day of work, she couldn't be late.

She left early and arrived at Mise twenty minutes ahead of schedule.

Manager Wu greeted her warmly and shook her hand, "Xiangsi, prepare well. Tonight, all eyes are on you!"

He pointed to a set of clothes nearby, "Everything is ready. We're just waiting for you to amaze the crowd!"

Sheng Xiangsi smiled softly and nodded, "Manager Wu, I'll do my best."

"Good luck, go get your makeup and outfit done!"

"Okay, Manager Wu."

Following the rehearsal plan, Sheng Xiangsi was performing a jazz dance tonight—masked.

Manager Wu's idea was, "The allure of the half-hidden face, right? The more you hide, the more they want to see. The more they want to see, the more we withhold. Haha... This way, your fame will spread."

It would attract customers, enticing them to spend money.

Manager Wu scrutinized Sheng Xiangsi's face, "Besides, this face of yours is an ace; it's worth hiding."

Sheng Xiangsi remained noncommittal.

Her goal was just to make money, so she had no objections to his arrangements.

When it was almost time, Manager Wu personally came to urge her, "Xiangsi, ready? It's your turn."

"All set."

Sheng Xiangsi stood up, took a deep breath, and prepared to go on stage.

Before her performance, there was a pole dance act that had already heated up the atmosphere.

Compared to the sexy pole dance, Sheng Xiangsi's outfit was quite 'conservative.'

As the music started, she made her entrance!

Wearing a mask that covered the upper half of her face, Sheng Xiangsi chose a bold lipstick, painting her lips bright red.

With her natural features, it didn't look tacky; instead, it was exceptionally alluring and strikingly eye-catching.

Her long hair was curled, and she wore a black hat tilted on her head.

She donned a pure white silk shirt, which fluttered gracefully as she moved, paired with loose harem pants made of sheer fabric, revealing slender legs underneath.

On stage, the spotlight focused on her face. Sheng Xiangsi smiled at the audience without saying a word.

Yet, her charm was evident.

Sexy jazz!

"Wow!"

"Oh wow!"

The audience erupted!

Not far away, in a VIP booth facing the stage.

Fu Hanjiang was with Zhou Jinting, Qin Yanzhi, and a few others, including Qin Yanzhi's cousin, Zhong Pei.

This kid had been studying abroad for a few years and had become even more scholarly.

Tonight, the older guys were taking him out to 'see the world.'

Qin Yanzhi poured Zhong Pei a drink, "You've grown up. You'll soon start working in the company, and you need to get used to such settings."

"Oh, okay." Zhong Pei nodded, still quite shy.

At this moment, the atmosphere was suddenly ignited, drawing everyone's attention.

Even Zhou Jinting couldn't help but glance over, "Hey, Mise got a new girl? Haven't seen this one before."

Qin Yanzhi nodded, "Seems so."

"That waist."

Zhou Jinting looked at Fu Hanjiang and gestured, "Look, one hand could grip it, and it'd snap if squeezed."

"What do you want him to look at?"

Qin Yanzhi shook his head with a smile, "Don't you know? His heart is only for that…"

"Enough."

Fu Hanjiang, who had been silent, couldn't take it anymore and glared at Qin Yanzhi, "Try spouting nonsense again?"

"Alright, I won't."

Qin Yanzhi raised his hands in surrender and exchanged glances with Zhou Jinting.

Not allowed to talk about it?

Who in Jiangcheng didn't know about the Fu brothers both falling for the same girl back in the day?

All these years, Yao Leyi stayed with Fu Hanchuan, while Fu Hanjiang stayed devoted to Yao Leyi.

Even his wife was sent abroad because of Yao Leyi...

When it came to infatuation, no one dared to claim the title over Second Master Fu.

On stage, the performance hit its peak!

Sheng Xiangsi swayed her waist like a willow branch, her long legs moving with a captivating allure.

Her aura was cool, combined with sharp eyes that exuded an impressive aura.

It made people feel that to desecrate her was a sin.

Yet, they couldn't help but be drawn to her...

The intense contrast in her persona blended perfectly, complementing each other.

For a moment, coolness and seduction filled the room! The entire place was in an uproar, with all eyes, whether in the pit below or the VIP booths above, fixed on the stage...

On Sheng Xiangsi.

Suddenly, Fu Hanjiang paused, sitting up straight, eyes locked onto the person on stage without blinking.

Strange, why did she look so familiar?

"Hey."

Zhou Jinting noticed, waving a hand in front of his eyes, "Is she that good-looking? You're entranced."

"Really?"

Qin Yanzhi was skeptical, equally surprised, "No way? Besides that someone... who else could catch Second Master Fu's eye?"

Fu Hanjiang laughed in exasperation, squinting, "What nonsense are you talking? I just think she looks familiar, like I've seen her somewhere before?"
