Chapter 78 What Happened Tonight Was Just the Beginning
"Me, base, inferior?"
Xie Jinghuai stared intently at Jiang Shiyuan's beautiful face, which was filled with rage, and said through gritted teeth, "Jiang Shiyuan, there should be a limit to your protectiveness!"
He hit me first, and I was injured too, didn't you see? Everyone here can testify to that!
"Heh... President Xie is all-powerful in Beijing. Who here would dare not testify for you?" Jiang Shiyuan stared coldly at Xie Jinghuai.
Xie Jinghuai was so angry that his clenched fists cracked, and he looked like a powder keg on the verge of exploding.
She had absolutely no trust in him.
Those sharp eyes, like the sharpness of wind and frost, had completely erased her former gentleness and tenderness.
She gave all of this to Ye Yu unconditionally. But clearly, it was he who had enjoyed all of this before!
“Even if my senior brother started it, I firmly believe that he wouldn’t hit someone for no reason. It must have been you who provoked me first and went too far!” Jiang Shiyuan’s eyes were filled with deep resentment and anger.
“Ah Yuan…” Ye Yu’s voice trembled slightly.
What did I gain by taking a beating to earn her trust? It was worth dying for!
You're completely blind and deaf!
Xie Jinghuai watched Ye Yu leaning against his wife like a green tea bitch, and felt an urge to rush up and stab him to death. "Who does he think he is? You went to see him first instead of me... Can't you tell what's important? Can't you tell what's more important?!"
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Even a powerful figure like President Xie, who remains calm even when Mount Tai collapses before him, was almost driven to a mental breakdown by a woman.
Who exactly is this woman?
Could it be Mr. Xie's secretly married wife? No way.
I heard that woman divorced Mr. Xie a long time ago and comes from a humble background. Does she dare to challenge Mr. Xie like this?
Jiang Shiyuan coldly curled her lips, finding it utterly ridiculous. "What do I have to do with you? Why should I side with you?"
Xie Jinghuai opened his thin lips with difficulty.
His gaze swept across the surroundings; everyone was watching him, seemingly waiting for an answer from him.
What exactly is their relationship?
They were a legally married couple with a child, yet Xie Jinghuai was ashamed to speak of their marriage in front of everyone.
He couldn't even understand what he was ashamed of.
"Brother Jinghuai!"
Lin Zhixin lifted her skirt and ran breathlessly to Xie Jinghuai's side, saying anxiously and worriedly, "You're injured, you should go to the hospital to get it treated quickly."
The man's jawline hardened. "No need."
Even if we don't need it, it's not good to stay here any longer.
Lin Zhixin gently tugged at his sleeve. "With things getting out like this, and so many people watching, it won't look good. Let's talk about it when we get back."
She wasn't really worried about things getting out of hand.
She was just afraid that Xie Jinghuai wouldn't be able to resist Jiang Shiyuan's provocation and would make their marital relationship public. Wouldn't she then have to bear the stigma of being a mistress again?
"Ah Huai, tonight was really unlucky because of that grandson of the Ye family. Let's get together another day."
Shen Zhantang stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder. "I'll have my secretary handle the aftermath. Zhixin and I will take you to the hospital first."
"The future is long, and the Ye family's bad days are yet to come."
Upon hearing this, Su Xier felt a surge of anger burning within her.
This is why, despite being grateful to Shen Zhantang and even sleeping with him time and time again, she could never fall in love with him.
Without hesitation, she rushed to Jiang Shiyuan and helped her lift the injured Ye Yu up.
"Su Qier, come back here!" Shen Zhantang stared at her and commanded sharply.
Su Xier pursed her lips, turning them white, but remained motionless.
"Xi'er, your senior brother has told me everything that happened here. Come with me, I'll take you home."
Jiang Shiyuan stared coldly at Shen Zhantang, "Xi'er won't go back with you tonight, she has to come with me."
Shen Zhantang rubbed his cheekbone together, but this woman was Xie Jinghuai's wife after all, and he still couldn't do anything about her.
Su Xier stared at Ye Yu in astonishment, her throat tightening.
He was very kind; not only was he worried that she would catch a cold, but he also tried his best to take care of her and pull her out of the fire.
But she can't get out.
From the day she accepted Shen Zhantang's favor and gave herself to him, she had already fallen into an abyss, plummeting lower and lower.
At this moment, Han Xu rushed over and, seeing Xie Jinghuai's bruised face, was extremely anxious.
"Mr. Xie, the car is ready, and we've also made arrangements with the hospital."
Xie Jinghuai narrowed his phoenix eyes, his cold and intimidating gaze sweeping over Ye Yu's face, before taking long strides to leave.
"Xie Jinghuai! Apologize to my senior brother!" Jiang Shiyuan roared angrily, her eyes red.
"Apologize? Jiang Shiyuan, are you kidding me?"
Xie Jinghuai gave a cold, mocking smile. "What makes you think you can say that to me?"
Lin Zhixin hooked her arm around the man's, smiling contemptuously, adopting the air of someone in a superior position.
“Not only will I not apologize to him, I will also let him know that what happened tonight is just the beginning.”
Jiang Shiyuan's breath caught in her throat, her resentment threatening to pierce through her bloodshot eyes.
"Oh, right, my bracelet..." Lin Zhixin suddenly remembered, and frowned.
Su Xier gripped the crystal tightly in her palm.
Jiang Shiyuan's eyes darkened, and he snatched the bracelet from her palm, walking step by step to Lin Zhixin.
She opened her palm expressionlessly.
Lin Zhixin smiled smugly and was about to take the bracelet when Jiang Shiyuan suddenly flung it into the fountain.
Everyone was shocked!
"You—!" Lin Zhixin's face turned pale, speechless with anger.
Xie Jinghuai was furious, "Jiang Shiyuan! Don't go too far!"
"Is that going too far? You're really ignorant."
The next second, Jiang Shiyuan shoved Lin Zhixin hard, "Get down!"
With a startled cry, Lin Zhixin plunged headfirst into the pool, splashing water everywhere as she flailed her arms and legs in the water.
Everyone: "Holy crap! That's brutal!"
"Jing...Jing Huai-ge...Save...me!" Lin Zhixin floated up and down in the water, with carp jumping around above her head.
The scene was quite comical.
"Save your mother!"
Su Xier held back all night, but finally couldn't help but swear, "Even a child wouldn't drown in there, you're not even as good as a child!"
Shen Zhantang, who was used to seeing big scenes, was completely dumbfounded at this moment.
Didn't Ah Huai say that his wife is a person with no temper?
Is this a lack of temper? This is utterly upside down!
Jiang Shiyuan stood by the pool, coldly glaring at Lin Zhixin, who was putting on an act in the water.
Suddenly, Xie Jinghuai strode forward, his hard shoulder bumping into Jiang Shiyuan, causing her to stumble and feel a sharp pain in her bones.
The next moment, the man jumped into the pool without hesitation.
He bent down and pulled Lin Zhixin's frail body out of the water, picked her up in his arms, his cold, handsome face showing worry, and walked back to the edge of the pool step by step.
Throughout the entire process, he didn't look at Jiang Shiyuan once more; his eyes were only on the woman trembling in his arms.
"Brother Jinghuai... I feel so bad..." Lin Zhixin curled up against his chest, her face drained of color.
"Bear with it, I'll take you to the hospital right away."
Xie Jinghuai was also soaked, but he couldn't bear to put Lin Zhixin down, so he held her tightly.
Everyone exclaimed: "I believe in true love again!"
Jiang Shiyuan's long eyelashes trembled, and her smile was desolate.
As Xie Jinghuai, carrying Lin Zhixin, brushed past her, he spoke coldly:
"Jiang Shiyuan, you're nothing but a shrew these days."
