Xu Ruyin covered her face and left the market, her heart filled with anger.

As soon as she stepped outside, she couldn't help but turn around and yell angrily.

"You bitch, how dare you hit me! One day, I'll make you regret this!" Xu Ruyin bit her lip hard, and the taste of blood escaped from her mouth.

Touching the redness and swelling on her face, she cursed Su Wan a thousand times in her heart in resentment, but out of the corner of her eye, she inadvertently saw the figure she had been thinking about day and night.

"Land Travel!"

When Xu Ruyin saw the tall and thin Lu Xing, she ignored the pain on her face and ran up to grab Lu Xing's arm.

Lu Xing hadn't expected to run into Xu Ruyin here, and calmly pushed Xu Ruyin's hand away from his body.

He took a step back distantly: "Xu, what a coincidence."

Xu Ruyin felt a lump in her throat and glared at Lu Xing with dissatisfaction: "Lu Xing, what do you mean? We were together before, why are you distancing yourself from me like this?"

Lu Xing's face stiffened. He glanced around. Xu Ruyin's words seemed to accuse him of being a scumbag who started a relationship and then abandoned it.

In fact, it's pretty much the same.

He admitted that his feelings for Xu Ruyin were not pure.

He just wanted to stand up for Su Wan.

Who told Xu Ruyin to bully Su Wan like that?

Seeing Lu Xing remain silent, Xu Ruyin spoke up regardless of the consequences: "Do you really think Su Wan is as gentle and lovely as you see her? Do you see this? This is where she slapped me?"

Lu Xing looked at Xu Ruyin, whose fair face had five bright red finger marks.

It's clear how much force was used in that slap.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, not at all surprised that Xu Ruyin had ended up like this.

After all, when Su Wan scolded him, she was stabbing him in the heart.

He asked expressionlessly, "Why did she hit you?"

Xu Ruyin was secretly delighted; Lu Xing still cared about her.

She squinted and said somewhat sullenly, "She's not a good woman herself. She's married and still having affairs. I was just telling the truth, and she got angry and embarrassed."

Lu Xing gave her a deep look. "If I remember correctly, you're also engaged to Xu Ruyin!"

Xu Ruyin screamed, "How can that be the same?"

Lu Xing's eyes darkened. "How is it different?"

Xu Ruyin was furious at Lu Xing's attitude. "How am I compared to that bitch Su Wan? Does she even deserve to be compared to me?"

Lu Xing's eyes were blazing with anger, and he snorted coldly, "You're not worthy!"

Some people are just so self-righteous.

He considered himself superior to others.

They constantly compete with and look down on others.

They stand on moral high ground and criticize others without any psychological pressure.

Apply constraints to others, and reserve tolerance for yourself.

Seeing that Lu Xing agreed with her, Xu Ruyin shyly moved closer to him and said, "If you go to my house to propose marriage, I will break off this engagement with the Su family."

Seeing that Lu Xing remained unmoved, Xu Ruyin raised her stakes: "My dad loves me the most, I will definitely make him give me a generous dowry."

She observed Lu Xing's expression again, and seeing that he didn't react, she said emotionally, "What do you want? She's already agreed to marry you!"

Lu Xing sneered: "What I meant by 'unworthy' is that someone like you is not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Su Wan!"

"A selfish person like you wouldn't understand."

"Besides, Xu Ruyin, I've never thought about dating you, nor have I ever thought about marrying you. You disgust me!"

After Lu Xing finished speaking, he turned and left without looking back. Xu Ruyin stood at the market entrance, angrily looking in the direction Lu Xing left, tears streaming down her face.

What right does Lu Xing have to insult himself?

She just likes him.

Does liking him give you the right to humiliate yourself?

It's all that bitch Su Wan's fault.

She cursed Su Wan in her heart again and again!

He left in a huff.

When Xu Ruyin was almost home, she took a shortcut through a small alley.

As soon as I entered the alley, someone put a burlap sack over my head, and everything went black; I couldn't see anything anymore.

Xu Ruyin was so frightened she wanted to scream.

As if knowing her thoughts, she was slapped across the face, a slap much harder than Su Wan's.

Xu Ruyin suffered temporary hearing loss in both ears due to the beating.

Before I could even react, I was hit with punch after punch to my face and body.

Xu Ruyin was pinned to the ground and brutally beaten, unable to even put up a fight. In the end, she collapsed limply to the ground.

Perhaps he had finished fighting, for the man left in a hurry without saying a word from beginning to end.

An older woman was passing by when she saw a burlap sack in the middle of the road: "Who put a perfectly good burlap sack here!"

Muttering something, Xu Ruyin stepped forward and kicked him. Xu Ruyin snorted, startling the person who kicked her.

"What, what is that?"

Xu Ruyin wanted to say, "I am not a thing, I am a person."

Perhaps because her face was so swollen, her words were muffled and indistinct.

The kind-hearted aunt stepped forward to take the sack off, but was startled when she saw Xu Ruyin.

Xu Ruyin's face was swollen like a pig's head, almost unrecognizable, and her body was covered in bruises.

The older woman was so frightened by Xu Ruyin's appearance that she could barely speak: "What happened to you, girl?"

Xu Ruyin was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She glared at the older woman, annoyed that she had no sense of propriety.

I can't believe she's in this state. Why don't you hurry up and take her home?

What are you rambling on about?

The older woman didn't understand what Xu Ruyin meant and thought she was in a lot of pain.

He asked with concern, "Young lady, what bad thing did you do that made someone retaliate against you?"

It has to be said that the older women are the most effective at stimulating women.
