Chapter 353 Something is wrong with you

The sharp knife ultimately failed to harm Zhao Xiaoqin in the slightest. At the critical moment, it stopped abruptly five centimeters in front of her, unable to move forward even an inch.

Zhao Xiaoqin closed her eyes tightly and waited for a while, but the expected pain did not come. She tentatively opened her eyes and immediately met the sharp fruit knife.

She was so frightened that her legs went weak on the spot, and she struggled to take two steps back.

As she retreated, she realized that it wasn't that the man suddenly had a change of heart and stopped in time, but rather that someone had arrived in time to grab his wrist before the knife could injure her.

"Ms. Ye... Miss Ye?"

"Are you alright?" Ye Wanxi glanced at Zhao Xiaoqin, and only after confirming that she was not injured did she turn to look at the man she had subdued.

The man never expected to make a mistake. After a moment of stunned silence, he hurriedly tried to pull his hand back, only to find that he couldn't move it at all.

In a moment of desperation, the man raised his hand to strike Ye Wanxi's face.

As expected, his other hand was also grabbed.

Ye Wanxi forcefully twisted his wrist, and everyone heard a scream as the fruit knife clattered to the ground.

Not only that, after twisting the man's hand, Ye Wanxi did not immediately stop, but instead kicked him several meters away.

It's worth mentioning that she kicked him in the groin area.

All the men present felt the same way, squeezed their legs together, and instinctively took a few steps back to distance themselves from Ye Wanxi.

Ignoring the wary and fearful gazes of most of the men, Ye Wanxi clapped her hands crisply and decisively: "Done."

As soon as he finished speaking, several girls who were nearby couldn't help but scream, excitedly cupping their faces and exclaiming, "So handsome!"

"Waaaaah, I'd heard she'd practiced before, but I thought it was just for the show. I never expected it to be real! She's so incredibly cool!"

"I never expected to see such a beautiful woman saving another beautiful woman during work hours. It got me so excited that I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight."

"Ugh, what's the point of having these useless, stinky men? You two should just get together!"

"Exactly! If such a beautiful woman saved me in such a cool way, I would fall in love with her on the spot. No, I think I'm already a little bit in love with her. Boss, please don't be so strict about gender!"

The useless, stinky men who got caught in the crossfire: "..."

Ye Wanxi: "..." Girls, something's not right with you.

Zheng Baihong was closest to Zhao Xiaoqin and was the first to react. He hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the still-shaken Zhao Xiaoqin, and looked her up and down: "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"No...it's nothing, I was just a little scared." Zhao Xiaoqin swallowed and said with lingering fear, "Thanks to Miss Ye, otherwise I might already be...disfigured."

That's right, it's disfigurement. That person's knife was clearly aimed at her face.

Zhao Xiaoqin asked herself if she had ever done anything immoral or heinous, and she really couldn't understand why this person hated her so much that he would hold a knife in front of so many people and try to ruin her face!

Zheng Baihong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was alright. He then rushed over and kicked the man who was still rolling on the ground several times, cursing as he kicked him: "I told you not to use a knife, I told you not to use a knife! What kind of man are you, bullying a weak girl!"

The onlookers glanced at Zhao Xiaoqin silently and nodded in agreement. Yes, she was indeed a frail girl.

Looking at Ye Wanxi next to Zhao Xiaoqin, my goodness, what do you mean by frail and delicate? This is clearly a violent man-eating flower!

Gao Min stood to the side, holding her precious guqin, taking in the furtive glances from everyone watching her artist. Her lips twitched slightly, and she let out a painful groan: "My goodness, watch your image."

If this continues, your image of being delicate, soft-spoken, and capricious from your early days is going to completely crumble.

Ye Wanxi glanced at her dismissively and chuckled, "Image? Do I have that?"

Gao Min: "..." I couldn't refute it.

After being kicked a few times by Zheng Baihong, the man became numb and chuckled softly: "What kind of man bullies a weak girl? What right do you have to say that? What right do you have to talk to me like that? Weren't you the ones who attacked the girl first? I'm just giving them a taste of their own medicine."

The man's words stunned everyone present.

What's going on? Is there a possible twist?

Zheng Baihong was taken aback by his words, then frowned and scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting? How could we..."

"I remember now!" Zhao Xiaoqin grabbed Zheng Baihong's arm and exclaimed, "I remember where I've seen him before!"

"Have you seen him?"

“He came to the music shop to see Ju Manting before.”

"Ju Manting?" Zheng Baihong's expression immediately became subtle upon hearing this name.

Seeing this, the others couldn't help but become curious, and Director Li even frowned and asked, "Who is this Ju Manting?"

“He was a student at our music studio before, but he left on his own initiative a week ago for some reason.”

The man's expression changed slightly, and he pointed at Zhao Xiaoqin and cursed, "What do you mean by leaving voluntarily? Xiaoting was clearly forced out by you! Just because she plays the piano better than you and is more popular with you in the music school, you framed her and kicked her out of the music school."

"You're only here today because you have parents who are good at seeking fame and fortune. Everything you have today was stolen from Xiaoting. You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"

The man's gaze at Zhao Xiaoqin was like that of poison; even though he was temporarily unable to move, his desire to tear Zhao Xiaoqin to pieces remained undiminished.

Zhao Xiaoqin had been well protected by her parents since childhood, and this was the first time she had faced such terrible malice. Her face turned pale, and she grabbed Zheng Baihong's arm tightly, instinctively seeking the protection of the person next to her.

Ye Wanxi watched for a while, then interjected meaningfully, "Is everything he said true?"

"Of course not!" Zheng Baihong patted Zhao Xiaoqin's shoulder reassuringly, his disgust finally no longer concealed.

"She plays the zither better than Xiaoqin and is more popular, so she attracted jealousy and was kicked out of the zither studio, losing her chance to participate in this program. Is that what Ju Manting told you?"

"So what if it is? You dare to do such disgusting things, don't you dare admit it?"

Zheng Baihong narrowed his eyes and sneered, "What's your relationship with her? Boyfriend? Or suitor?"

"Stop having those filthy thoughts. I'm her brother, her own brother."

"I see." Zheng Baihong suddenly realized, then chuckled. "I can understand why she chose to lie because she was afraid her family would find out what she had done. But I still have to tell you clearly that Ju Manting's expulsion from the music studio has absolutely nothing to do with her ability or popularity. She was expelled because she openly seduced a married man."
