"Gu Zihan, you're sick!"
Jiang Mianmian was so angry that she trembled all over.
When Huo Junyu blocked her way, she subconsciously took a few steps back.
"You...all of you, get out!"
"Otherwise, I'll call the police!"
"Don't try to scare me by calling the police!" Gu Zihan said smugly. "Jiang Mianmian, if I don't see your marriage certificate with this big oaf within three days, I'll come and smash up the shop!"
"Even if you call the police, at most they'll make me pay compensation! Ha, my family isn't short of money, I'll just consider it feeding the dogs!"
“But your parents are different…” Gu Zihan coldly curled her lips, “If you’re willing to let them watch their life’s work being destroyed by me, then feel free to oppose me!”
"you……"
Jiang Mianmian suddenly raised her hand, but the slap did not fall for a long time.
She knew that the Gu family was powerful and influential, so even though she reported and boycotted them, Gu's products were still circulating in the market.
So even though her small supermarket was smashed up like this, none of her neighbors dared to offer any help.
so……
If Gu Zihan wants to embarrass her, then she has to be embarrassed.
Jiang Mianmian's hand, which was held in mid-air, trembled slightly.
She wasn't afraid, but she was afraid that Gu Zihan would target her parents and younger brother.
Huo Junyu's cold gaze swept across everyone's faces.
He clearly saw Jiang Mianmian's anger and sorrow, Gu Zihan's bullying, and the indifference of the onlookers.
He felt a little sorry for the girl.
But the war between women was too boring, and he wanted to speed up the process.
"Heh, go ahead and hit me!" Gu Zihan provocatively pointed to her own face. "What, you're scared now?"
"Go ahead and hit me!"
"Jiang Mianmian, you really make me look down on you! I'm afraid even if you had ten times the courage, you wouldn't dare to touch me today!"
Jiang Mianmian gasped. Just then, her wrist was grabbed by a force, a broad palm pressed against the back of her hand, pushed her small hand, and suddenly slapped Gu Zihan across the face!
"So long-winded," Huo Junyu said curtly.
Gu Zihan was stunned by the beating and stared at the two of them for a long time without being able to say a word.
Jiang Mianmian was also a little stunned.
She turned to look at the man beside her.
It was him... it was him who pushed his hand and hit Gu Zihan!
"Ah—" Gu Zihan screamed involuntarily.
Several bodyguards stepped forward, but none of them were a match for Huo Junyu. Huo Junyu was agile and quickly knocked the bodyguards to the ground.
His tall and strong body completely blocked Jiang Mianmian from view.
Jiang Mianmian could only stare at his broad back.
His back was like a wall, isolating her in an incredibly safe little world.
"Huo Yu, you, you dare to hit me!" Gu Zihan's face turned pale with anger. "You dare to help that bitch hit me!"
"It was the young lady who wanted to fight, wasn't that right?"
"you!"
"I told her not to waste time and to fulfill the young lady's wish!"
Although Gu Zihan was furious, she clearly did not have the upper hand now.
She kicked the bodyguard, muttering something foul, and turned to run away.
It took Jiang Mianmian a while to calm down.
She walked into the small supermarket with her head down.
The shelves inside were all overturned, baskets of eggs were broken, and the air was filled with the unpleasant smell of rotten fruit.
As she was preparing to tidy up, a strong arm reached out and gently helped her lift the shelf.
Jiang Mianmian was stunned.
She felt she should say something, but she didn't know what to say.
The thought of being with this man... made her feel like she was being gnawed at by ants, the pain was unbearable.
However, if he hadn't been there, she probably wouldn't have been able to handle it alone.
Jiang Mianmian bit her lower lip, and these words flashed through her mind like lightning:
Three days, marriage certificate, shop vandalism...
She took a deep breath, and a bold idea popped into her head.
"Huo... Huo Yu." She tried calling his name. "Your name is Huo Yu, right?"
Huo Junyu's back stiffened, and his hands, which were tidying the shelves, stopped.
Even with his back to her, he could still feel her trembling.
"Huo Yu, how about... we get together?"
"What?" Huo Junyu's tone changed, and he turned around abruptly, his deep eyes fixed on her.
What nonsense is this girl spouting?!
He just intervened because he saw injustice.
Did helping someone turn out to be a mistake?
If I help her, will she haunt me for the rest of my life?
It's not right for a person to repay kindness with enmity like this!
Jiang Mianmian noticed the change in his expression, her face flushed red, and she hurriedly explained:
"Don't worry, I didn't mean to marry you! I just meant we could live together..."
The bottle of beverage that Huo Junyu was holding fell to the ground with a thud.
"Well, it's not 'that kind' of living together..." Jiang Mianmian had a headache, and her words were incoherent; she couldn't explain it clearly no matter what she did.
She was just using Huo Yu as a delaying tactic.
The first step is to stop Gu Zihan from coming to smash up the store every few days.
Since Gu Zihan wants her to marry Huo Yu in order to humiliate her, then she'll marry him! As long as she can keep her family's small supermarket, she'll do anything.
Also, she felt an unparalleled sense of security when she was hiding behind him.
"Huo Yu, listen to me..."
"Judging from the situation, Gu Zihan won't let me off the hook if I don't find someone to marry. I'm afraid of dragging my parents down with me. They're getting older, and this little shop is their life savings. I can't let them lose everything."
