Chapter 172 - Getting slapped.

Next day, when Zhou Mingyu reached home, she was drained out of energy. She was hell tired of giving retakes after retakes. She had given her strongest performance but still, she couldn't compete with Chen Bai who was dominating her with his acting.

When she entered her house, she heard the loud yells of her father. She walked towards his office and asked in a tired voice.

"Father, what is wrong?"

"Here comes the princess." Zhou Zichen taunted angrily and walked towards Zhou Mingyu. "She is the root cause of my every problem. If she hadn't gotten exposed in front of Xin Mei then I would have drained that Xin Jin out of his projects and finance but now this girl has destroyed everything."

Zhou Zichen spoke many bitter words to Zhou Mingyu. He also raised his hand on her. "My unfruitful daughter. You are such a waste. Look at you and that Xin Mei. Xin Mei always thinks first about others and you…you are a selfish bi*ch."

Zhou Zichen again raised his hand and slapped hard against the face of Zhou Mingyu. He had suffered many losses in the last two months only because of Xin Jin who was attacking at him with full force.

His daughter had lost the shield named, Xin Mei who was protecting him, his business and his family for so long. Now no one was there to protect him.

"Go to your room. I don't want to see your dirty face."

With tears in her eyes and anger in her heart, Zhou Mingyu walked towards her room. She locked her room door and yelled with fury.

"Xin Mei, I will not leave you. I will kill you. It's all because of you that father raised his hand on me for the first time."

At the side of Xin Mei, she was enjoying her time with her husband. Both of them were singing at the top of their lungs while cooking their breakfast. They both were very hungry.

"Wifey, taste this strawberry. It's delicious." Su Yuchen fed Xin Mei half-eaten strawberry. She smiled and munched on the strawberry.

"Delicious isn't it?"

"It's delicious." She nodded her head.

Su Yuchen smiled and again tasted a strawberry before feeding the same to Xin Mei.

After cooking their breakfast while doing a lot of fun things, both Xin Mei and Su Yuchen had their breakfast. The were in the middle of having their food when mobile of Su Yuchen rung.

He attended the call. After hanging up, he looked at Xin Mei with a huge grin.

"Wifey, there is good news for you," he exclaimed with excitement.

"What?"

"Last day, father had signed a contract with Forte Hotels. Zhou Corporation was planning to sign that deal and had spread the rumours. But now that they couldn't sign the deal, their stocks and stocks of Qian Corporation had fallen badly."

"Really?"

"Hmm." Su Yuchen nodded his head. "From the time I have joined hands with your father, Zhou corporation had failed to get many new contract which had lend Zhou Zichen in a situation of pressure."

"About Qian Mushen, his shareholders are in displeasure that he decided to cheat on Xin corporations which is now rising high. Many shareholders had sold their shares at very low rates, bringing Qian Corporations in a tough situation."

"According to my analysis, within an year Qian and Zhou Corporation will become bankrupt if they failed to form some strategy."

"Really?" Xin Mei asked with bright eyes.

"Really? Didn't I promise you that I will help you in getting your revenge of all the wrongdoings with you? It's just a start." Su Yuchen smiled with evilness on his lips.

Xin Mei grinned upon hearing him. She raised her juice glass and squealed with excitement. "Let's celebrate."

Su Yuchen chuckled at her happiness. He clinked his juice glass with her before gulping down the juice.

After their breakfast, as a reward Xin Mei let Su Yuchen do it twice.

Actually, from the time Xin Mei was having scenes during the night, Su Yuchen had also arranged all his meetings and schedule during the night. He knew he would not fall asleep without Xin Mei, so he decided to do his work at night.

Also, during the day, he decided to spend his time with his wife, which included lovemaking and sleep.

As usual, Xin Mei reached on the sets during the evening. She greeted all the cast and crewmembers. They returned to her greeting.

"Xin Mei, finally you are here. Director Zhang is waiting for you in the garden. He want you to check the prop." Fang Lin informed to her, the moment her eyes fall upon Xin Mei.

Xin Mei nodded her head and walked towards the set's garden. The garden was used for many scenes so it was very beautiful with fresh green grass and many flowers.

When Xin Mei reached the garden, Su Zixin and Zhou Mingyu were already standing in front of director Zhang.

"Here you are Xin Mei, come here." Director Zhang directed her towards himself.

Director Zhang instructed them about the scenes of tonight. He also asked Xin Mei to inspect the swing, which was specially built for the scene.

It was made of a wooden platform, which was supported by two strong ropes. The ropes were covered with garlands to make it look royal.

"Xin Mei, apply your full pressure on the swing so we can know if it can take your weight or not."

Prop manager informed her. Xin Mei nodded her head and checked if the swing was strong or not. Su Zixin also sat on the swing and put his full weight on it. He also jumped on it, to check if it could take his pressure or not.

Once satisfied that the swing was safe, Xin Mei and Su Zixin gave a thumbs up to prop manager and director Zhang. They were unware of the smile, which appeared on the lips of another person.
