Lu Jingxing reacted too slowly, and He Lijuan's hand hit Jiang Wanruo's face.

With a crisp, loud "snap," it rang out.

"Wanruo!" Seeing this scene, his heart was bleeding.

Because of her own actions, she was bullied by He Lijuan.

She was the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, the only girl among the younger generation, and was greatly loved.

She never lifts a finger, yet she is showered with love and affection.

How can I bear the pain of being slapped in the face by others today?

No one could stand that.

"Does it hurt a lot? Wanruo... I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Wanruo, it's all my fault, I didn't protect you well."

Lu Jingxing turned his body to expose his back to He Lijuan to block her attack.

Jiang Wanruo was held tightly in his arms.

“Jingxing…” She was stunned and didn’t know what to say.

My face stung from the slap.

You say it doesn't hurt?

It clearly hurts a lot.

She said she was in pain, but the pain was bearable.

It didn't come to the point of crying and screaming.

But I feel so wronged.

Growing up, her parents never laid a finger on her, and everyone spoke to her in a soft voice.

I was slapped for no reason, and my dignity was completely destroyed.

She was really wronged and sad.

He Lijuan, what right do you have to hit me?

"Jingxing... Waaah..." Jiang Wanruo cried and threw herself into his arms, clutching his clothes. If she hadn't, she wouldn't have had the strength to stand up.

"Wanruo, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I made you get hit." When Lu Jingxing saw the bright red handprint on her left cheek, his heart ached.

"Lu Jingxing, let go of that vixen! I'm going to hit her! Beat her to death! How dare she seduce my man!" He Lijuan was like a possessed demon, her fists pounding relentlessly on his back.

He did not back down, holding Jiang Wanruo tightly to prevent her from being hurt again.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the customers present, who all assumed that Lu Jingxing had cheated on his girlfriend, had gone on a date with a lover, and had been discovered and beaten up by his girlfriend.

Of course, the coffee shop manager and staff also noticed the incident and went over to mediate.

"Madam, please calm down and let's discuss this calmly."

"Get out of my way! If you dare come any closer, I'll beat you all up too." He Lijuan turned around and bared her teeth at the store manager and three waiters, successfully scaring them before revealing a victorious and triumphant smile.

Taking advantage of her relaxed state, Lu Jingxing pulled Jiang Wanruo a few steps away.

After He Lijuan discovered this, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and rushed over, punching Lu Jingxing hard in the back once again.

"ah--"

This blow hit a pressure point on his back, causing him to cry out in pain.

“Jingxing, you…” Jiang Wanruo looked up and saw his face, which was full of pain, with his brows furrowed and lips pursed. Only then did she realize that He Lijuan had hit him.

She was so preoccupied with feeling wronged and crying that she didn't even notice he had been beaten.

Seeing this, the store manager and three waiters stopped trying to persuade her and instead went to pull He Lijuan away.

Lu Jingxing then had the opportunity to run five meters away with Jiang Wanruo, giving them a chance to catch their breath.

It wasn't that he couldn't beat He Lijuan, but that he had to protect Jiang Wanruo and couldn't use his skills.

In addition, He Lijuan was in a state of rage and possessed immense strength, while his own strength was at most equal to hers.

"Let me go! Lu Jingxing, you heartless man! I won't let you get away with this, and that vixen, how dare she steal my man, I'll beat you to death."

He Lijuan struggled, jumping up and down, and the four men almost couldn't hold her down.

Just as Lu Jingxing had comforted Jiang Wanruo and was about to seek revenge on He Lijuan, someone suddenly ran over and rescued He Lijuan from the waiter's clutches.

"Lijuan, what are you doing here? I wasn't watching you for a second and you ran around like that, you scared me to death."

"What do you men mean by this? Are you bullying my daughter? I'm calling the police! I'm calling the police!"

The person who came was He Lijuan's mother, He's mother.

These words infuriated the waiters.

"Who touched her? I even got hit by her! Pay my medical bills! Otherwise, you'll all be waiting to go to jail for a few days."

"Yes! Pay for medical expenses! Ouch, it hurts so much! Where did this crazy woman come from, hitting people randomly?"

"Your mentally ill family member is out here beating people and you still think you're right? Pay up and apologize!"

"You're the one who's crazy! My daughter isn't crazy, you're the ones who are." Hearing this, He's mother jumped up in anger.

He pointed at the three waiters and cursed.

"Let go of me! I want Jingxing, he's my boyfriend, I want him." He Lijuan shook off her mother's hand, looked around, and finally spotted him.

"Jingxing, let's take our wedding photos today! We'll get our marriage certificate tomorrow. My parents both agree to our marriage; they're very supportive."

When He's mother saw Lu Jingxing, she learned why her daughter had caused trouble again. "Lu Jingxing, it's all your fault that my daughter is like this! You bastard! Your whole family are no good people!"

Since Lu Sen refused to marry her three months ago, her youngest daughter's mental state has become increasingly abnormal, sometimes muttering to herself and talking nonsense.

In just over a hundred days, he has already become mentally unstable, exhibiting symptoms of psychosis for two to three hours every day.

It's because the Lu family is making a lot of money that outsiders are mocking them for losing Lu Jingxing, a good son-in-law, and Lu Sen, a good in-law.

If my daughter gets engaged to Lu Jingxing, then...

“Aunt He, please watch your mouth. I have not done anything to wrong your family, and it has nothing to do with He Lijuan.”

Lu Jingxing was first beaten by He Lijuan, and then insulted by He's mother and her whole family, which made him furious.

If he hadn't followed the rule of not hitting women, he probably would have beaten Mother He to the point of near death long ago.
