24. A mad dog.

Feeling Shen Yu's sticky and uncomfortable gaze, Xie Shiyu frowned.

She stood behind Xi Zhengyu, no longer hiding her true feelings, her sapphire-like eyes staring straight at him.

Her eyes were icy, and she exuded a chilling aura. Compared to her usual innocent, delicate, and gentle demeanor, she was like a completely different person.

Shen Yu met her gaze and saw that she had a cold face and looked at him as if he were looking at something disgusting.

This further piqued his curiosity.

Hearing what the other person said, Xi Zhengyu felt extremely angry, his fists clenched, but he told himself not to resort to violence.

“Your little mermaid is quite to my liking. I heard you spent 3 billion to buy it, so I’ll give you 4 billion.” Shen Yu didn’t notice Xi Zhengyu’s change and stared intently at the beauty standing behind Xi Zhengyu.

A lazy voice rang out, accompanied by his roguish expression, "Do you agree or not?"

"You've already slept with her, so she's practically secondhand. Forty billion, no secondhand mermaid is ever worth that price." His tone was full of disdain for Xie Shiyu.

Xi Zhengyu, who had originally intended to endure it, could no longer bear it.

What did this guy compare Shiyu to?

What are the toys he usually plays with?

He raised his hand and punched the other man in the face. Shen Yu staggered back a few steps, but before he could regain his footing...

Xi Zhengyu grabbed his collar and smacked him in the face repeatedly.

Those dark eyes stared intently at him, emanating a chilling aura.

Upon realizing this, Shen Yu inwardly cried out in alarm; this guy was enraged.

"Hey—are you crazy?" Shen Yu panicked and shouted, "Aren't you afraid of my dad and the others?"

Xi Zhengyu didn't say a word, but just kept punching him in the face.

Blood stained his fist and splattered onto Xi Zhengyu's face, making him look even more frightening.

Xie Shiyu stood aside and watched the scene coldly, without making any attempt to mediate.

Instead of trying to stop the fight, she watched for a while and then started acting, crying and pretending to be bullied.

The commotion on the second floor quickly attracted the attention of the waiter, who felt like dying when he saw the two big shots fighting.

No, it can't be called a fight; it was Shen Yu who was beaten on his own.

Because he didn't even have a chance to resist, both of his hands were broken by Xi Zhengyu, and his arrogant face was beaten into a pig's head, and he could only groan in pain.

"Are you crazy?!" Shen Yu felt a burning pain all over his body. Was this guy insane? Was he trying to beat him to death?

Xi Zhengyu ignored him and raised his hand to punch him again.

"Pfft—" Shen Yu was directly hit and suffered internal injuries, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He was even more shocked; was this guy really going to kill him?!

"Hey, hey, hey, let me go right now!" Shen Yu panicked, struggling with his legs as he shouted.

Seeing that Xi Zhengyu remained unmoved, Shen Yu quickly turned his gaze to Xie Shiyu in the distance, hoping that the mermaid would speak.

Xi Zhengyu, that mad dog, was going to let him go, but then he turned his head to look at him.

Then I saw Xie Shiyu lying on the ground, her hair disheveled, curled up like a fish, crying uncontrollably.

His pitiful appearance made people feel sorry for him.

If Shen Yu hadn't known what had just happened, he would have felt a pang of heartache seeing Xie Shiyu like this.

Depend on--

One's a mad dog, the other's a green tea b*tch!

"Help!" Despite his broken hands, Shen Yu struggled to get up, but Xi Zhengyu pulled him back by his clothes.

"Apologize!" Xi Zhengyu said coldly, his dark eyes fixed on him.

A real man can bend and stretch; it's just an apology.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Please forgive me, you are so magnanimous," Shen Yu said ingratiatingly.

Although she apologized, her smug attitude annoyed Xi Zhengyu.

He raised his hand and threw another punch.

"Ouch—" Shen Yu screamed in pain. Why was this mad dog acting so unpredictably?

"Didn't I apologize?!" Shen Yu glared at him and questioned him.

"There is no sincerity."

Xi Zhengyu wanted to continue hitting him, but was stopped by the police who arrived at the scene.

Seeing the police arrive, Xi Zhengyu withdrew his hand, stood up, and shook his aching hand before looking at Xie Shiyu beside him.

When he found her sitting on the ground crying her heart out, Xi Zhengyu was taken aback and felt annoyed.

His rough manner just now still frightened her.

They all sat on the ground and started crying.

Xi Zhengyu wanted to help her up, but when he saw the blood on his own body, he stopped in his tracks.

He was afraid of getting Xie Shiyu dirty. Today, Xie Shiyu was wearing a white dress, looking pure and lovely, and she even smiled when she stood up.

But now she was crying her eyes out, which made Xi Zhengyu feel extremely distressed.

It's all that bastard Shen Yu's fault. If he hadn't acted like that, none of this would have happened.

Without this incident, his little mermaid wouldn't have been so frightened.

Xi Zhengyu looked at Shen Yu, who was being treated with a medical device by waiters and police officers.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

I just felt that I hadn't hit him hard enough.

Feeling Xi Zhengyu's gaze on him, Shen Yu pursed his lips and dared not say anything more.

Although the two are rivals, he always loses a round to the other.

He provoked Xi Zhengyu countless times, but each time Xi Zhengyu would just glance at him indifferently and leave.

I didn't expect that my continued provocation today would result in me getting beaten up.

Shen Yu dared not look at Xi Zhengyu, but he dared to look at Xie Shiyu, who was sitting on the ground and still crying.

Depend on!

It's all because of this mermaid!

Shen Yu roared inwardly.

"If you don't want your eyes, I don't recommend gouging them out for you." Xi Zhengyu stood in front of the mermaid, his gaze fixed on him, his voice unusually cold.

Shen Yu couldn't help but shudder. He realized that Xi Zhengyu would become a henpecked husband in the future!

"Fine, I won't look then," Shen Yu said stubbornly, turning his gaze away.

Seeing that he had behaved, Xi Zhengyu turned to look at Xie Shiyu, trying his best to be gentle.

"Don't cry, don't sit on the ground, it's cold." Xi Zhengyu said, pulling over a chair. "Sit here."

Xie Shiyu stood up and sat in a chair, her eyes red from crying.

"Don't cry." Xi Zhengyu saw that she was still crying, and he was flustered and confused. He wanted to hug her, but he could only hold back because he was dirty.

"Hmm." Xie Shiyu responded, sniffed, and stared blankly at him with her sapphire-like eyes.

His eyes were bloodshot, and the tip of his nose was also slightly red.

They look so pitiful, it makes your heart ache.

Xie Shiyu wrung her hands, her voice barely audible: "Are you... alright?"

Hearing the little mermaid's caring words, Xi Zhengyu was delighted and immediately replied, "It's nothing."

After replying, I realized I had been too enthusiastic, so I quickly reverted to my usual aloof demeanor.

"It's nothing, just some superficial injuries, don't worry." He said this with his posture upright, his forehead streaked with bangs, making him look incredibly handsome.
