Chapter 13 Infringement of Portrait Rights

A group of young rich kids were sitting around a big table, talking and laughing loudly. The table was filled with all kinds of expensive drinks.

One of them, named Mo Fan, is Fu Chen's rival in the business world and also his personal nemesis.

Mo Fan was wearing a custom-made dark grey suit. He looked handsome, but his eyes were cunning and unruly.

He was playing with the wine glass in his hand, and suddenly his eyes turned and noticed Tong Xiaoge and Lin Shuyu sitting in the corner.

"Look over there, isn't that Fu Chen's wife? She's sitting with a man, and they look quite intimate."

Mo Fan raised his eyebrows, a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips, and he whispered to his friend sitting next to him.

His friend, a young man who was also dressed in fancy clothes, followed Mo Fan's gaze and laughed.

"Oh, really. Is Fu Chen wearing a green hat this time?"

Mo Fan smiled even more happily. He winked at his friends and said loudly, "I want to see how Fu Chen will react after he finds out about this. He always thought he had a perfect marriage, but it seems that's not the case."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, and they all immersed themselves in the fun of gossip. Mo Fan was even more smug, and continued to describe the scene with exaggerated details .

"If Fu Chen knew that his wife was drinking and chatting with other men and was still so warm, I wonder if he would be furious."

On the other side of the bar, Mo Fan's smugness and teasing continued. He took out his phone from his pocket, quietly pointed it in the direction of Tong Xiaoge and Lin Shuyu, and took a few photos.

In the photo, Tong Xiaoge's expression is a little melancholy, and Lin Shuyu is gently wiping her tears. The intimacy between the two is magnified under the camera.

"This is good material."

Mo Fan raised his lips and looked at the photo with satisfaction. He then edited a message, attached the photo, and sent it to Fu Chen. The content of the message was full of provocation, "Look at how warm your wife is with another man, Mr. Fu, you are so lucky."

After sending the message, Mo Fan put down his phone and continued to enjoy the evening entertainment with his friends. They were full of anticipation for the upcoming storm.

Meanwhile, Fu Chen was alone in his own home, his room filled with an oppressive silence.

His cell phone suddenly rang, he picked it up and saw it was a message from Mo Fan.

When he opened the photo and saw the intimate scene between Tong Xiaoge and Lin Shuyu, his heart suddenly tightened and his whole body became cold in an instant.

Fu Chen's face turned gloomy in an instant, and a hint of imperceptible anger flashed in his eyes.

His fingers were clenched tightly around the phone, his knuckles turning white from the strain.

The air in the room seemed to be frozen by the cold aura around him.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the room with heavy steps, trying to calm himself down.

Every step was like a heavy hammer hitting the floor, and it seemed particularly dull. Fu Chen's heart was filled with complex emotions. He couldn't believe his eyes, and he couldn't accept this sudden feeling of betrayal.

After calming down, Fu Chen picked up the phone and called his assistant Xu Assistant. "Find out immediately where Xiaoge and Lin Shuyu went and what they did tonight. I want all the details."

In a hidden corner of the "Midnight Jazz" bar, Tong Xiaoge's mood gradually calmed down, and her conversation with Lin Shuyu was wrapped in soft jazz.

However, the harmony in the air was suddenly broken by a burst of hoarse laughter. Tong Xiaoge's intuition told her that there was some evil intention in that laughter.

She tilted her head slightly and searched the inside of the bar, finally settling on a group of young rich kids talking loudly.

She saw a familiar face - Mo Fan, a business figure who she met occasionally in social situations and was known for his arrogance.

Tong Xiaoge felt uneasy. She saw the mobile phone in Mo Fan's hand, which seemed to be filming something.

Her intuition told her that the sarcastic laughter and Mo Fan's actions were most likely related to her and Lin Shuyu.

She said to Lin Shuyu, "Brother, I need to go take care of something and will be back soon." Lin Shuyu nodded with concern on his face.

Tong Xiaoge stood up and walked towards Mo Fan's table with firm steps. Her heartbeat quickened, but she tried to stay calm. When she reached Mo Fan's table, all the talking and laughing stopped abruptly, and several pairs of eyes stared at her curiously.

"Mr. Mo," Tong Xiaoge said calmly and forcefully, "I don't know what you are taking pictures of, but please delete those pictures immediately."

A hint of surprise flashed across Mo Fan's eyes, which then turned into ridicule.

"Ms. Tong, you were not at home so late at night and were in a bar with another man. Do you think that if such a scene is deleted, it will no longer exist?"

"This is my private matter and has nothing to do with you." Tong Xiaoge's voice gradually became firm. "I don't know what purpose you want to achieve with these photos, but I warn you that violating other people's privacy has consequences."

People around began to whisper, but a provocative smile appeared on Mo Fan's face.

"Oh, it seems that Fu Chen's wife is not only beautiful, but also very courageous. However, Miss Tong, you should know that once some things happen, there is no turning back."

Tong Xiaoge took a deep breath. She knew she had to stay calm. "Mr. Mo, this is your last chance. Please delete those photos."

Tong Xiaoge's voice echoed calmly and firmly in the bar. She looked directly at Mo Fan, full of unquestionable determination. Mo Fan smiled contemptuously, completely ignoring her warning.

"Miss Tong, this is just a little entertainment, why do you take it so seriously?"

Mo Fan's tone was provocative, and he looked around for support from others.

Several women nearby, dressed fashionably and wearing heavy makeup, also began to laugh at Tong Xiaoge. A blonde said coldly, "It seems that someone has a celebrity syndrome and thinks he is some big shot."

Another woman also joined in the sarcasm and looked at Tong Xiaoge provocatively.

"Yes, does this lady still think that she is innocent and inviolable?"

Tong Xiaoge felt a sharp pain and tears gathered in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

At the moment when she was about to lose control, Lin Shuyu appeared beside her in time with an unhappy look on his face.

"That's enough, Mo Fan."

Lin Shuyu's voice was deep and powerful, and his body stood in front of Tong Xiaoge to protect her.

He looked directly at Mo Fan, his eyes like a knife, "You are invading my privacy and insulting others. Aren't you afraid of legal sanctions?"

Mo Fan was unmoved, and instead became even more proud. "Mr. Lin, is this your friend? Is it necessary for you to protect her? Maybe this is just another performance of hers."
