Chapter 308 A loud thud as it hit Shen Ruofu's face.
Just as Ji Ying's eyes were slightly dazed, as if some memory had been stirred up, the waiter brought over a plate of boiled lake shrimp.
Madam Pang quickly introduced, "The lake shrimp from Baihu Lake in Beijing are the best. You should try them."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Ying's already somewhat aloof gaze instantly sharpened.
Because Shen Ruoheng is allergic to lake shrimp, only her family knows this, and she is the only outsider who knows it.
Just as Ji Ying was about to speak, Shen Ruofu's voice came from behind her.
"Miss Ji, what a coincidence."
When Madam Pang saw her arrive, her expression changed slightly.
Ji Ying slowly turned around and looked at her.
I was beaten up last night, the wound on my ear is still fresh, and my face is still swollen, but today I put on concealer and went out to see her again.
What made this guy so anxious?
"What is it?" Ji Ying asked calmly.
With a warm smile on her face, Shen Ruofu walked slowly to the table and said politely, "I made an appointment with a friend to have dinner here. I didn't expect to run into you. There's something I'd like to talk to you about."
Ji Ying raised an eyebrow, glanced at Jiang Ran standing at the door, then looked back at the wasted boiled shrimp on the table, and snorted, "What a coincidence today."
Madam Pang knew she was mocking them, and lowered her head in embarrassment.
However, she really didn't know that Shen Ruofu would also come here to "bump into" Ji Ying.
Shen Ruofu pulled over an empty chair from the next table and sat down next to Ji Ying.
“Miss Ji, Mr. Pang, considering our past relationship, asked me to talk to you about ‘Qixia’…”
"What connection do I have with a dog?" Ji Ying interrupted her.
Shen Ruofu paused for a moment, then tried to maintain a natural expression.
“Yizhi married my sister’s memorial tablet. I am a daughter of the Shen family, and he is my brother-in-law. This is a fact that you cannot deny.”
Ji Ying glanced around indifferently.
The next second, she grabbed the plate of boiled shrimp and slammed it onto Shen Ruofu's face with a loud bang.
The soup and shrimp shells smeared all over Shen Ruofu's face and body. She was surprised and tried to get up, but Ji Ying grabbed her hair and threw her off the chair to the ground.
Before she could struggle, he kicked her hard in the waist and abdomen twice more.
Shen Ruofu screamed in pain and cried out, "Stop kicking! Stop kicking!"
Ji Ying wiped her hands with a wet wipe, looking down at her curled-up body on the ground with an even colder gaze.
“My husband said that hitting you with his hands would hurt, and that I should use my feet from now on.”
Madam Pang, who was standing to the side, was already so frightened that her face turned pale and she dropped the chopsticks in her hand.
Shen Ruofu was both in pain and furious, her fingers trembling as she pointed at Ji Ying, "You...this is a restaurant, how dare you do this in public..."
She stopped herself halfway through her sentence.
It was only then that she was horrified to discover that the entire restaurant was now completely empty, with no waiters in sight.
Only Jiang Ran stood quietly at the door, guarding the gate with an expressionless face.
Ji Ying looked at her, her eyes full of flirtatious glint.
"I said I'd beat you up every time I saw you. Are you that forgetful? I don't mind helping you remember."
Shen Ruofu trembled all over and couldn't utter a single word.
Ji Ying turned to look at Madam Pang.
Madam Pang was startled.
Ji Ying said with a half-smile, "It's a pity that you specially ordered a plate of lake shrimp for me. You can treat me to it next time."
Madam Pang had never seen such a scene before. Her hands trembled, and she quickly waved them, saying, "It's alright, it's alright."
“So,” Ji Ying’s eyes were deep and dark, “Madam Pang’s best friend must be much gentler than me, right?”
Just as Madam Pang was about to be polite, Ji Ying coldly continued, "Considering you've followed me all this way, I'll give Madam Pang a piece of advice: clinging to old dreams is meaningless. People should know how to distinguish right from wrong and not try to find memories in the mud."
After saying that, she took Jiang Ran and left.
Madam Shen then realized that Ji Ying had seen through her intentions from the very beginning.
His own performance of jumping around was nothing short of clown behavior.
She was extremely ashamed.
Seeing that Shen Ruofu was still sitting on the ground, she stepped forward shakily, her face pale, and asked, "Should I...should I call an ambulance for you?"
"You piece of trash!"
Shen Ruofu shook off the outstretched hand, endured the pain all over her body, and struggled to stand up on her own.
"Besides being weak, pitiful, and trembling, what else can you do? Pang Shijun is incredibly unlucky to have married a woman like you. You can't help him at all, and you're not willing to fight for him for even an inch!"
After scolding her, Shen Ruofu limped out of the restaurant and crossed the circular corridor to the other side.
This is a Western restaurant, and it's been booked out entirely.
She deliberately provoked Ji Ying, staging this self-inflicted injury scheme; the real audience is here.
The slightly overweight middle-aged man sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window had witnessed everything that had just happened.
As she approached, a barely-smiling expression appeared on his fleshy face. "Miss Shen specifically invited me here just to watch you get beaten up?"
Shen Ruofu placed her hands on the table, her tone deliberately filled with resentment.
“Pang Shijun promised me a substantial commission if I could facilitate the cooperation between Pantian and Qingsui. But Ji Ying looks down on the Pangs and won’t even give me a chance to talk. It’s not that I’m incompetent, it’s that you Pangs are incompetent.”
A sinister glint flashed in Pang Xiao's eyes, but he immediately scoffed.
"I have my own ways to get my hands on 'Qixia's' technology. Pang Shijun is incompetent, so naturally he brought in someone like you who's not up to par."
Shen Ruofu was speechless for a moment, unable to refute his words.
Pang Xiao's gaze swept over her. "But your face... it does catch my eye. Spend the night with me, and you'll get your money back."
Shen Ruofu had inquired about his quirks.
After a night of revelry, the women were either dead or maimed. But he was generous with his money and skillfully used both threats and inducements to suppress the scandals, and so far, he hasn't been implicated.
She got angry when she heard that this ugly woman had her eye on her.
Shen Ruofu pointed at his nose and scolded, "No wonder Pang Daiyao would rather use a proper grandson who has made mistakes than hand over the family business to an illegitimate son like you who can't stand up to scrutiny! Your head is full of nothing but shit, you're a complete idiot."
"You're asking for it!"
Pang Xiao flew into a rage, grabbed her by the neck, and then punched her hard in the stomach.
Shen Ruofu's face contorted in pain.
Pang Xiao released her grip, and she slid to the ground, unable to get up.
Pang Xiao glared at her fiercely, "Did you see that clearly? This is my power. You want me to be your tool? Dream on! If it weren't for the fact that your surname is Chen, I would have played you to death long ago. Don't do it again."
After saying that, he left the restaurant.
Pang Xiao's punch was extremely powerful, much more ruthless than Ji Ying's.
When the waiter who had been kicked out returned to the restaurant, he saw her still sitting on the floor and immediately went to help her up.
Upon approaching, he saw a pool of blood on the ground and immediately screamed.
"Call an ambulance quickly, she's bleeding."
Shen Ruofu pressed her lower abdomen, her face turning pale with pain.
Since we can't move Pang Xiao, we can't let these injuries go to waste.
She took out her phone with trembling hands.
Isn't Ji Ying arrogant?
This time, I'll leave you speechless!
In the afternoon, Ji Ying returned to the courtyard house.
I only intended to take a short nap, but when I woke up it was already past six in the evening.
Butler Fei was extremely anxious and had already called Liang Yizhi.
Upon learning that he was on his way back, Ji Ying quickly sent him a message saying that she was fine and there was no need for her to make a special trip back.
However, just as he put down his phone, the security guard rushed over to report that Shen Mu had come to visit and had something to ask his wife.
Shen Mu was an acquaintance of the Liang family, so Butler Fei invited him in.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as Shen Mu entered the living room, he took out a bundle of hemp rope.
"Miss Ji, Madam instructed me to take you to the hospital. Please forgive me."
