Chapter 17 Being bullied by a group of people

Shen Shuangmiao was wide awake and chose to go pick up someone rather than turn off her phone and go to sleep.

She didn't want to cause any more trouble.

Anyway, it's just this one night.

There's nothing I can't tolerate; it's just driving someone home, it's very simple.

Shen Shuangmiao comforted herself, trying to prevent her emotions from surging up, knowing that if she offended Zhu Jin tomorrow, she wouldn't be able to get their marriage certificate smoothly.

She put on her coat and left in a hurry, taking a taxi to her destination.

When Shen Shuangmiao arrived at the location, the private room was still lively and harmonious, with no fighting or disturbances.

Men and women were drinking and singing together, but Zhu Jin was sitting on the sofa in the corner, pinching his brow and closing his eyes to rest, looking very uncomfortable.

Upon seeing Shen Shuangmiao arrive, everyone displayed expressions of disdain, and those who were chatting or singing fell silent.

Gu Yiqian held the microphone to his mouth and scoffed, "Oh, am I seeing things? Isn't this Miss Chen? What, knowing Zhu Jin is here, you've come over to pester him again?"

Shen Shuangmiao frowned and first glanced at Zhu Jin.

Zhu Jin remained motionless, as if he were already drunk and unconscious.

She could only coldly explain, "I'm here to pick up Zhu Jin. He called me and asked me to take him home."

The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment, then burst into laughter.

"Miss Shen, you should use your brain before you lie! Brother Jin hates you so much, how could he possibly let you come and pick him up from school?"

"You're just jealous because Ah Jin and Sister Wu got together, so you specifically found out he was drinking here and came over to flirt with him, right?"

"Give me a break! You've been married for two years, and Jin hasn't even given you a second glance. You think you can seduce him? No way!"

The crowd grumbled and mocked Shen Shuangmiao, their eyes filled with disdain.

In their eyes, Shen Shuangmiao was someone who would do anything shameful.

With the forced marriage incident, Shen Shuang's image as a scheming woman has become deeply ingrained in people's minds.

When they learned that Zhu Jin and Shen Shuangmiao had divorced, their friends were overjoyed and delighted.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Shen Shuangmiao took a deep breath.

She stared coldly at the group, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes, and took out her phone to show everyone her call history with Zhu Jin.

"You saw it? It was Zhu Jin who called me. He threatened me, saying he wouldn't register our marriage if I didn't come over."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment and fell silent for a moment.

Seeing that they were all silent, Shen Shuangmiao thought that the matter was over and was about to go over when a figure suddenly blocked her way.

Gu Yiqian glared at her with cold, hateful eyes and said coldly, "What can a phone call prove? There's no recording, so you can say whatever you want. Shen Shuangmiao, stop pretending!"

He grabbed Shen Shuangmiao's wrist directly: "You are not allowed to come near Zhu Jin again, get out!"

Shen Shuangmiao was hurt by his actions and struggled fiercely: "Let me go! Do you think I wanted to come here and see all of you? I can leave, as long as you convince Zhu Jin not to use this to threaten me and not to go with me to get the marriage certificate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yiqian released her.

Several finger marks appeared on Shen Shuangmiao's delicate, pale wrist, which stung painfully.

She took out her phone expressionlessly and opened a video call: "Tell me now if you can guarantee that Zhu Jin will get the divorce certificate with me the next day and won't hold it against me for not picking him up as agreed. You can bear all the consequences, and I can leave right now without staying a second longer!"

The group looked at each other, completely bewildered.

But Shen Shuangmiao seemed to be telling the truth, as if it were really true.

However, Zhu Jin had long since grown disgusted with Shen Shuangmiao, so how could he possibly let her pick him up when he was drunk!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Yiqian stood there, somewhat hesitant.

Looking at Shen Shuangmiao's reasonable and well-founded stance, he loosened his clenched fist a little and suddenly let out a soft sneer.

"good."

Shen Shuangmiao frowned, looking at him with incomprehension: "What's so good about it?"

Gu Yiqian turned to the side and said calmly, "You can take A-Jin away now."

Seeing how easy he was to talk to, a stark contrast to his behavior just moments before, Shen Shuangmiao was completely baffled.

But that's not important.

Seeing that Gu Yiqian didn't seem to mind, she walked straight towards Zhu Jin.

Just as she was about to brush past Gu Yiqian, Gu Yiqian suddenly revealed a cryptic smile and stretched out his foot.

In the dimly lit private room, Shen Shuangmiao didn't even notice where she was stepping and was tripped hard by Gu Yiqian, falling in front of everyone.

She and Zhou Wu fell together a while ago. Her injured palm had just recovered, but now she has scraped it again, and her wrist is also sprained.

She lay on the ground, seeing stars, her body drenched in cold sweat.

Laughter filled the air.

Shen Shuangmiao tried to stand up, but couldn't muster the strength.

She felt that she was really suffering from hypoglycemia, and she couldn't even move. She could only lie on the ground in vain.

Stop pretending!

Gu Yiqian crossed his arms and looked down at her.

"Ah Jin is already drunk and can't see you. It's no use pretending to be pitiful in front of him. Get up now!"

Before Shen Shuangmiao could get up, she was kicked in the leg.

A woman's sharp and sarcastic voice rang out.

"What are you standing there for? Get up!"

Shen Shuangmiao let out a muffled groan, her face turning deathly pale.

She struggled to stand up, holding onto the table, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. It was arguably the most humiliating and helpless moment of her life.

Shen Shuangmiao took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Gu Yiqian.

Gu Yiqian shrugged: "I didn't do it on purpose, you just don't watch where you're going."

Shen Shuang Miao gave a cold laugh.

She used to tolerate these people who repeatedly provoked her, out of respect for Zhu Jin.

Now it seems she no longer needs to tolerate it.

Shen Shuangmiao directly reached out her injured hand, picked up a bottle of wine, and poured it on Gu Yiqian.

Everyone gasped in surprise.

Gu Yiqian's designer clothes were completely soaked, and his face immediately darkened.

He gritted his teeth and practically spat out Shen Shuangmiao's name through clenched teeth.

"Sinking, Frost, Wonderful!"

Shen Shuangmiao raised her eyebrows in imitation of him: "Sorry, my hand is injured and I can't hold things steadily. My hand slipped. You won't blame me, will you?"

Gu Yiqian was furious: "You're asking for it!"

At this moment, he abandoned all pretense of manly decorum and clenched his fist to punch Jiang Qing.

A gust of wind followed.

Shen Shuangmiao knew she couldn't avoid it, so she subconsciously raised her hand to cover her face.

Bang!

The next second, something made a loud noise.

Screams erupted from the private room.

A few drops of icy liquid splashed onto Shen Shuangmiao's arm.

She lowered her head in surprise.

Then they saw a shattered wine bottle at Gu Yiqian's feet, and his trouser legs were completely wet.

He thought the bottle would hit him, but he was so scared that he couldn't move.

Zhu Jin had already woken up at some point.

He stood three meters away, coldly watching Gu Yiqian, before stepping over.
