10. Slapped
The next day, Xie Shiyu was fast asleep when she was woken up by the robot, "Master, we have a guest."
"Should we open the door?"
Xie Shiyu, still half asleep, sat up, her face full of impatience: "Who is it?"
“Master, it’s Miss Nellisa.”
Upon hearing the name, Xie Shiyu raised her hand and scratched her wet hair.
In the end, they agreed.
After washing up, the home robot also dried her long silver hair.
She came down from the second floor in a floating wheelchair, by which time Nellisa was already getting impatient.
Upon hearing the noise, she looked up and saw that the other person had finally come down. She immediately stood up and glared at him with a dark expression.
"I wonder what brings Miss Nelisa here so early in the morning?" Xie Shiyu asked in a rather unfriendly tone.
Hearing this tone, Nellisa got a little angry. "What are you so smug about? Just because you have Brother Xi backing you up doesn't mean you're so great."
"You shameless bastard! You've already bewitched Brother Xi, and now you're whispering in his ear that he's going to attack our family! If you're so capable, then don't rely on my Brother Xi!"
"Oh." Xie Shiyu looked at her coldly. "The Xi family is so powerful, why wouldn't I rely on them if I had this opportunity?"
"So you came here today to cause trouble?" Xie Shiyu picked up the water the robot had poured for her, took a sip, and asked calmly, "If that's the case, then please leave."
Reminded by her words, Nelissa didn't forget the purpose of her visit: "I'm here to apologize to you."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you!"
The voice sounded reluctant, without a trace of apology.
It looks like they're doing something humiliating.
Xie Shiyu put down her cup, looked at her and said, "If you're here to apologize, then go back. I don't accept this insincere apology."
Upon hearing that she wouldn't accept it, Nellisa instantly exploded, "I condescended to come here and apologize, what kind of attitude is this?"
"What attitude can I have if I don't like your attitude?" Xie Shiyu said, maneuvering her wheelchair to go upstairs. Being woken up so early just for this was a complete waste of her precious time.
Nellisa watched her turn away, biting her lower lip as she finally spoke, "What do you want in return for my apology?"
If this wretched woman doesn't accept the apology, the family's business will keep declining, and she won't be able to afford nice clothes anymore.
Xie Shiyu propped her head up and turned to look at her, smiling faintly.
Upon seeing that smile, Nellisa suddenly had a bad feeling.
Xie Shiyu came up to her, raised her hand, and slapped her cheek hard and decisively. The slap was so forceful that it surprised Nelisa.
This caused Nelissa to lose her balance and take a small step back. At that moment, Nelissa's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
"How dare you hit me!" Nellisa shouted, her voice cracking from the effort.
Xie Shiyu sneered, "Didn't you enjoy hitting me?"
"You can get out of here." After saying that, Xie Shiyu maneuvered her floating wheelchair up to the second floor, calling out, "Show her out. If Miss Nelisa comes again, don't bother to inform me."
"Yes, Master." The robot replied and then went to see the guest off. Nellisa watched her retreating figure, wishing she could tear Xie Shiyu to pieces and turn her into sashimi!
"You bitch, you just wait, I'll kill you!" Nellisa said fiercely, then grabbed her bag and left with a handprint on her face.
After hitting the person, Xie Shiyu felt much better.
The home robot has already prepared her breakfast: fried fish fillets, fish soup, and steamed fish.
They were all fish.
But it smelled so good that Xie Shiyu immediately sat down and started eating.
Mmm, this is delicious.
My husband's not home, so the robot cooks for me. I don't have to worry about money. It's awesome!
Xie Shiyu was happy eating, but Nellisa was not. As soon as she got home, she sat on the sofa and burst into tears.
Her cries attracted several people, who were all furious when they saw the bright red handprint on Nellisa's fair face.
"Tell me, who did this?"
"Let's confront them right now!"
"How dare you hit our little princess? Are you tired of living?"
Everyone chimed in with their own comments, and Nellisa stopped crying, sobbing as she said, "It was Xie Shiyu who hit me."
"She tried to hit me because she had Brother Xi backing her up!"
Some people, unsure who Xie Shiyu was, asked, "Who is this person?"
"Xi Zhengyu just married a mermaid," someone nearby replied.
"What? That guy got married?" someone exclaimed in shock.
The news of Xi Zhengyu getting his marriage certificate surprised them, and all their attention was focused on this matter.
Seeing that she was being ignored, Nellisa, who was standing to the side looking aggrieved, felt even more aggrieved. "None of you care about me. I even got slapped."
After saying that, she burst into tears again, so many tears that her legs turned into a fish tail.
The moment the fish tail appeared, everyone panicked. "Where's the water? Quickly put Nellisa in the water!"
After a period of chaos, Nellisa finally got into the water.
"Don't be too sad. After all, she is Xi Zhengyu's wife..." they began to comfort her.
One person said one thing, and in the end, Nellisa had no choice but to hide underwater, pouting, her face full of unhappiness.
She also knew that the Xi family's status was very ordinary.
With Brother Xi protecting her, even if that woman retaliates, it will only bring more trouble to the Miller family.
It won't be as simple as just a slap then. Just thinking about that slap made Nellisa's face burn.
snort!
If she can't get revenge now, she'll just have to wait until Brother Xi dislikes her.
By then, we'll beat Xie Shiyu's face into a pig's head!
They threw her into the S Club to work as a prostitute!
She's so beautiful, she'll definitely earn lots and lots of star coins, and then she can buy lots of pretty dresses!
Although Nellisa apologized to Xie Shiyu and the cooperation with Starry Sky Group was restored.
However, the online discussion about the S Club intensified, and despite all efforts by Nelisa's grandfather, Gavin Miller, and the First Councilor to suppress it, nothing could be done.
The mermaids' voices brought the matter to the forefront, and everyone was protesting.
Finally, S Club couldn't withstand the pressure and was shut down. The mermaids inside were all rescued and sent for treatment and psychological counseling.
But this still couldn't quell the mermaids' anger.
A scapegoat was pushed forward to take all the blame, and Andrei came forward to sincerely apologize and reflect on his actions. The matter was resolved in just three days.
"Is it over just like that?" Xie Shiyu looked at the gradually decreasing heat and couldn't quite believe it.
How easy are these merfolk to coax?
Is an apology all it takes?
"Ding-dong—"
A message popped up, and when I clicked on it, I saw that it was from Xi Zhengyu.
[Xi Zhengyu: Once I'm done here, I'll go back tomorrow.]
Upon seeing this message, Xie Shiyu was astonished. Was their work efficiency really that high?
