“Slap!” His hand cracked across her left cheek, loud as a clap. Yuexi was dumbfounded by the sudden smack on her face. It was only when she heard the man yelling at her she came out of her daze. The man yelled loudly, “I’ve never seen such a promiscuous woman like you! You robbed someone else’s boyfriend and even have guts to proclaim that you are upright. What a bitch!”
As he spoke, he fiercely stepped forward and pulled Yuexi’s arm.
Xu Ziqi seemed to be frightened. She froze for for a moment, before hurriedly going over to stop the man
“You let her go!”
Her words fueled his fury as he flung her outstretched hand and barked at her, “Are you nuts? I am helping you. You still want to help her? Such a woman should not live in the world! ”
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared daggers at Yuexi. But it appeared as if he was looking someone else through her. It seemed that this man had been deeply hurt in the past by someone. Nevertheless, he can’t take his anger on any random stranger.
Yuexi covered her stinging cheek and coldly stated, “You know nothing, so don’t poke your nose in others affairs. Don’t point your fingers at me randomly. I’ll call the police if you come close again!”
Hearing that she wanted to call the police, the expression on man’s face changed. The man’s temper flared and rushed to beat her but was again grabbed by Xu Ziqi. Xu Ziqi stepped forward to stop him but was hurled away by him.
She grunted in pain as she was thrown on to the ground by the impact. As if he was possessed, the man lunged at Yuexi and threw her to the ground, tearing her clothes and pulling her hair in the process, “Bitch! Bitch!”
There were the only customers in the café. When the waiter heard the shrieks, he quickly rushed over to stop the man but was thrashed by him.
. The waiter quickly got up but didn’t dare to get close to the man again. He looked at trembling Xu Ziqi and helped her up. Xu Ziqi was so scared that she couldn’t speak.
As the man howled at her, he became more and more irrational and grabbed Yuexi’s neck. Yuexi’s face grew red as she tried to push him away but to no avail. She looked at the waiter and gasped, “Call … Chen Ying …”
The waiter quickly found the phone on the ground, and said with a trembling voice, “I’ll call the police first …”
At his words, the man subconsciously turned towards the waiter. When he saw that the waiter was holding the phone, he panicked and ran away.
Yuexi gasped and breathed as she fell to the floor. Her throat hurt as her chest undulated violently.
When the waiter saw that the man had ran away, he quickly called Chen Ying, and Xu Ziqi called her brother in a panic.
Ten minutes later, Chen Ying and Xu Linchen come to the café one after the other.
Chen Ying’s eyes turned red in distress when she saw Yuexi lying on the ground, battered and wounded. She quickly went to her side as she raged, “Who the hell did this? I will kill them!”
Her sight fells on Xu Ziqi evilly, and then picked up a random object from the ground, preparing to hit her.
“Fuck you, how could you do such a cruel thing!”
Yuexi wanted to stop her, but when she tried to speak she held her throat in pain and was unable to utter any coherent words. Xu Linchen quickly came and stood before his sister. He grabbed her hand, said coldly, “You dare?”
Yuexi climbed up weakly from the ground and asked the waiter to quickly explain everything to them.
“How could there be a mad man?” Chen Ying apparently didn’t believe that a person could beat any random stranger. She then stared at Xu Ziqi with suspicion.
Xu Linchen guarded his sister carefully behind him and stated, “My sister is such a fragile and pure woman, she will never do such a thing. Besides, she was injured as well.”
During mayhem caused by the man, Xu Ziqi’s head hit a sharp object and was bleeding..
“Well, who knows.” Chen Ying snorted coldly, and then turned to lift Yuexi from the chair, saying worriedly, “Are you all right? Let’s go to hospital first.”
Yuexi nodded. When both of them were were about to leave, they heard Xu Linchen saying, “Let’s go together.”
Chen Ying refused flatly, “No need! Who knows what you are up to? Just a meeting with your sister made Yuexi hurt like this. If there was a fight, Yuexi may have already died here!”
The expression on both the sibling’s faces turned ugly. Xu Linchen wanted to say something, But Xu Ziqi pulled his clothes, not wanting to cause more troubles.
. The expression on both the sibling’s faces turned ugly. Xu Linchen wanted to say something, But Xu Ziqi pulled his clothes, not wanting to cause more troubles. Xu Linchen sighed and took his sister to leave first. When they opened the door, they saw Li Fenjue hurriedly rushing towards them.
The moment Xu Ziqi saw him, she rushed into his arms, and tearfully looked at him with grievances, “Jue, I’m so scared … I know you wouldl come to save me … ”
Li Fengjue lowered his head and comforted her, as he looked at her wound on her forehead, before glancing at Yuexi.
But, Yuexi deliberately diverted her eyes from him and whispered to Chen Ying, “Let’s go.”
“Your husband is here, why should we go? To tell you the truth, I called him to come. You two can’t always be like this. I have never seen such a shameless man who has two women at the same time. Today, you must ask him to make a choice! ”
Chen Ying looked at Li Fengjue coldly and deliberately raised her voice so that everyone could hear her clearly.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
When trouble came her away, Yuexi always chose to escape. While Chen Ying was different. She would directly solve the problem. In fact, she also wanted to know who Li Fengjue would choose.
He profoundly stared at Yuexi as his eyes darkened.
After a moment, he pushed Xu Ziqi away, but she hugged him again and coquettishly asked, “Jue, I’m in so much pain. Earlier I was almost scared to death. Will you take me home?”
Her arms around his waist shivered as she cried pitifully while staring at Li Fengjue. .
At her exaggerated response, Chen Ying drew a cold breath, while thumping her own chest and stamping her feet.
“Damn! It’s a pity that she didn’t make an actress of herself! She just hit her head a little bit, but she is making a mountain out of molehill it as if she is dying. But obviously you were the one who was beaten hard, and your face is still swollen!”
Chen Ying said indignantly, and then turned to look at Yuexi.
“See, learn from her. Her acting skills are so damn good. My God!”
Glancing at them coldly, Yuexi pulled Chen Ying, to leave with her, before replying
“I am what I am, and I will never change.”
When they both deliberately bypassed Li Fengjue and walked out of the cafe, they heard his voice from behind, “Bai Yuexi!”After hesitating for a second, Yuexi hastened her footsteps and left the cafe without paying any heed to him. Li Fengjue quickly pushed Xu Ziqi away, to chase after Yuexi, but was blocked by Xu Linchen.
“You promised your family that you will cultivate your relationship with Qiqi.”
Li Fengjue coldly stared at him, “Move!”
“Today you must go back with Qiqi!” Xu Linchen did not step back.
Li Fengjue’s eyes deepened as he glanced at the retreating back of Yuexi, and clenched his fingers into fists.
