Xia Xiaomeng had been smiling since the day she was born. Growing up, no one but herself could make her cry. A super-genius top student, she nevertheless hung around on film sets until she became the troublesome extra everyone in the industry knew.
Qin Junyao had been abandoned at birth and raised overseas. He was unscrupulous and ruthless. After moving through every walk of life, from the underworld to the mercenaries, he founded the Giant Group and became an international tycoon richer than a nation before he turned thirty.
His greatest hobby was watching other people cry.
As the saying goes, when two powerful forces clash, one must suffer. But when Xia Xiaomeng and Qin Junyao crossed paths, it was the innocent bystanders who got caught in the crossfire.
1. Mini-theater: The henchman's Frostmourne:
Henchman: "Boss, I followed your orders. We pulled our investment and canceled the production, so she didn't get a penny and has nothing to shoot."
Qin Junyao held a cigar, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth. "Did she get on her knees?"
The henchman shook his head.
Qin Junyao: "Did she cry?"
The henchman shook his head.
Qin Junyao leaned forward with a smile. "So what exactly did you do? That girl neither cried nor got on her knees?"
The henchman trembled. "She sold our confidential files to our sworn enemy, and smiled just like you."
2. Mini-theater: The Xia family's auto repair shop:
Xia's father: "That big-shot Mr. Qin came to get his car fixed here again."
Xia's brother: "He also opened a baozi shop across the street and told our little sister to come work for him."
Xia Xiaomeng read the newspaper. "Ignore him."
Xia's mother came in. "The baozi shop across the street has such a strange name: Cute Meat-Filled Baozi Shop. I thought someone had chopped up our Mengmeng!"
In a nutshell: a respectable scoundrel vs. a modern-day villainess
