Chapter 446 Potential Ex-Husband

Even though she reacted quickly, the back of her hand was still hit, and it quickly became red and swollen with a burning pain.

Xia Zhiying frowned, lowered her eyes and stared at the broken glass on the ground, her eyes filled with a deep and cold darkness.

Chu Yuexuan, the instigator, changed his expression. Yu Jiaren, who was standing next to him, immediately said, "Yuexuan, don't blame Assistant Xia. I insisted on asking her for help, but I didn't expect her to be so unwilling. It seems that she has accumulated a lot of resentment during her time as my assistant. I have never liked to force people to do things against their will. Maybe we shouldn't bother Assistant Xia."

This isn't an explanation for Xia Zhiying; it's clearly just stirring up trouble.

Xia Zhiying raised her head, looked at Yu Jiaren's hypocritical face, and gave a sarcastic smirk.

This blatant attempt to make things difficult for her is simply because Chu Yuexuan has always indulged her; she had long since given up all hope.

This appearance undoubtedly provoked Chu Yuexuan. He approached Xia Zhiying, his face turning ashen as he pressed down on her swollen hand. In his rage, he increased the pressure, saying, "Xia Zhiying, you have no choice but to do this! Since you dared to trip me up, you have to clean up this mess! I'm giving you the task of finding a way to reverse Jiaren's current reputation in the next two episodes of filming."

Xia Zhiying winced in pain and couldn't help but shove Chu Yuexuan, sneering, "Which eye of yours saw me tripping you up, Mr. Chu? Didn't you see the Weibo post? Is it possible that it wasn't me deliberately leading things, but rather that Miss Yu herself has ulterior motives?"

Yu Jiaren's expression changed, her eyes reddened in an instant, and she transformed into a delicate, innocent girl who had been framed and had no choice but to fight back.

She walked to Chu Yuexuan's side and leaned against his shoulder, looking pitiful and seeking protection. "Yuexuan, I didn't originally intend to embarrass Xia Zhu too much, but..."

She paused deliberately, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, before dropping another bombshell: "Sister Zhen told me that someone hired online trolls to stir up trouble behind this, and that person... is Xia Zhu."

Xia Zhiying couldn't help but laugh out loud without any warmth: "Miss Yu, you really know how to joke. I hired online trolls to stir up trouble, but your agent found out and I ended up shooting myself in the foot. Do you think I'm that stupid? Besides, not everyone is as unprofessional as you."

Yu Jiaren felt like her tail had been stepped on, and she bit her lower lip: "Even if Xia Zhu is pushed to the limit, he doesn't have to throw mud at me, does he?"

The burning pain on the back of her hand seemed to be getting worse, and Xia Zhiying was preparing to retort without hesitation.

Chu Yuexuan's face was so black it looked like ink could drip from it.

"Xia Zhiying, don't forget you're Jiaren's assistant now! Who gave you the audacity to talk to her like that? Hmm?" As he spoke, Chu Yuexuan had already grabbed Xia Zhiying's chin with his hand, forcing her to lift her face. "If you admit your mistake now, I might let bygones be bygones."

He just wanted to see Xia Zhiying give in. The woman in front of him was becoming increasingly stubborn, as if she was about to slip out of his control. He didn't like this feeling at all.

Xia Zhiying was forced to look into Chu Yuexuan's cold and furious eyes, and her heart felt as if it had been thrown into ice water. The biting cold swept through her whole body, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Just as Xia Zhiying had the illusion that her jaw was about to be dislocated, the door to the lounge was suddenly kicked open from the outside.

Chu Yuexuan looked over with a livid face, about to reprimand him, but when he saw Li Mufeng's menacing expression, he paused and frowned, "No matter who you are, you'd better get out of here right now!"

Li Mufeng is chasing

Xia Zhiying came over.

Xia Zhiying left without even saying goodbye. He couldn't help her much at the hospital, and he was so worried about her that he chased after her. He happened to overhear Chu Yuexuan arguing with Xia Zhiying, and he couldn't hold back any longer.

Seeing that Xia Zhiying's face was still held in Chu Yuexuan's palm, his eyes darkened. He quickly went over and pressed down on Chu Yuexuan's palm with one hand, using a little force at the base of his thumb.

"What kind of man are you, bullying a woman?" Taking advantage of the moment when Chu Yuexuan let go, Li Mufeng immediately put his arm around Xia Zhiying's shoulder, freeing her and protecting her behind him, his eyes dangerously confronting Chu Yuexuan.

Xia Zhiying's view was completely blocked by his tall figure. Gazing at his broad and reassuring back, she was momentarily lost in thought and even forgot to pull her hand away from his.

Chu Yuexuan stared intently at Xia Zhiying's exposed half-arm, his expression beyond just being ugly.

"Xia Zhiying!" Chu Yuexuan gritted his teeth, his eyes turning bloodshot with rage. "Don't forget I'm still your legal husband! How dare you bring another man to me in broad daylight!"

Li Mufeng narrowed his eyes, looking at Chu Yuexuan's somewhat distorted face, and felt an urge to touch him.

"So you're Miss Xia's soon-to-be ex-husband. You're definitely not good enough for her. You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth," he sneered, ignoring Chu Yuexuan's murderous glare. "Miss Xia and I are completely innocent, but..."

Feeling the warmth of Xia Zhiying in his hand, Li Mufeng regained his senses slightly, took the initiative to let go of her hand, and then raised an eyebrow at Chu Yuexuan, his eyes filled with undisguised provocation: "I am indeed currently pursuing Miss Xia with marriage in mind."

Chu Yuexuan's face turned green after hearing this. The words "prospective ex-husband" were like a resounding slap in the face, making his blood boil uncontrollably.

He glared fiercely at Li Mufeng, his anger clouding his judgment, and began to spout nonsense: "Innocent? I can't see that! You're standing up for Xia Zhiying like this, so you must have already slept with her? She's just a used shoe I don't want..."

Xia Zhiying had recovered her senses by this time. Her face was completely drained of color, and the fingernails of her two hands hanging by her sides were unconsciously digging into her palms.

Chu Yuexuan's deliberately humiliating words struck her heart like a hammer blow, a sharp pain spreading throughout her body; she felt as if her heart was bleeding.

Yu Jiaren, who was watching the show from the sidelines, revealed a hint of smugness in her eyes and could hardly resist clapping and cheering.

Enraged, Li Mufeng went berserk and rushed forward, punching Chu Yuexuan hard in the face without saying a word.

Chu Yuexuan was knocked back two steps by the punch, covering his face. He swallowed back the more hurtful words he was about to say. When he took his hand down, the bridge of his nose was visibly red and swollen.

Xia Zhiying watched coldly, feeling that he had only himself to blame.

Yu Jiaren, however, didn't miss this opportunity to curry favor. She rushed over and helped the man up, wanting to touch him but not daring to. Tears streamed down her face. She turned and pointed at Li Mufeng, yelling at Xia Zhiying, "Xia Zhiying, how could you let him hit someone?!"

Xia Zhiying almost laughed out of anger.

They'll throw any kind of mud at her. Which eye of hers saw that Li Mufeng acted on her orders?

Chu Yuexuan's eyes were filled with malice. When he looked up, he saw Xia Zhiying's expression of complete indifference to his being hit. Enraged, he pushed Yu Jiaren away and suddenly threw a punch at Li Mufeng.
