Chapter 21: The Yandere CEO's Overbearing Pampering - Madam
Everyone around watched indifferently as Zhong Linyi was about to slash Gu Shanshan's face; not a single person came out to help.
In their eyes, Gu Shanshan was just an insignificant plaything, not worthy of being discussed, and no one would care even if she died here.
He was cornered and surrounded by Zhong Linyi's men, with no way to escape.
In the instant the sharp dagger was about to sever her cheek, Gu Shanshan closed her eyes in despair.
But one second, two seconds, three seconds...
The expected pain did not come; instead, a piercing scream was heard.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Just as the knife was about to pierce Gu Shanshan's face, a sharp pain shot through her wrist.
Zhong Linyi frowned and cursed without thinking, "Who the hell is so blind as to block my way of teaching them a lesson... Mr. Gong!"
The profanities he was about to utter suddenly became unspeakable upon seeing the person approaching.
Zhong Linyi never expected that Gong Ye would appear here.
Gong Ye gripped Zhong Linyi's wrist tightly, with such force that he almost crushed Zhong Linyi's wrist bones.
His voice was chillingly cold, "Dare to touch my people? You're asking for death!"
After speaking, he narrowed his eyes dangerously and forcefully threw Zhong Linyi away.
"Ah..." Zhong Linyi fell to the ground and screamed in pain.
The spot on his wrist where Gong Ye had pinched him was throbbing with excruciating pain. Zhong Linyi's face turned pale; he felt as if his wrist bones had been crushed.
Gu Shanshan opened her eyes in confusion and bewilderment, not yet having a chance to see clearly what had happened.
The next second, my wrist was grabbed, my body was pulled with great force, and I was instantly pulled into a warm and familiar embrace.
Gu Shanshan looked up and saw that familiar face, and her tense emotions collapsed in an instant.
With red eyes, she took the initiative to hug Gong Ye, her voice choked with sobs as she called out, "Mr. Gong..."
Her soft, sweet voice was full of grievances and accusations.
Gong Ye hugged Gu Shanshan tightly, his grip so tight that Gu Shanshan's waist ached.
Gu Shanshan didn't feel uncomfortable, only at ease, and leaned even closer to Gong Ye.
"Mr. Gong, I'm so scared..." Gu Shanshan said in a low voice, terrified.
"Don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you."
Gong Ye gently kissed Gu Shanshan on the forehead, his soothing voice low and gentle.
Zhong Linyi got up from the ground, looking at Gu Shanshan, who was being held in Gong Ye's arms, with jealous and resentful eyes.
Why? Why did Gong Ye refuse to even glance at him after he had worked so hard and become so outstanding?
All of this is the fault of that vixen, Gu Shanshan.
It's just about acting cute and trying to please others. Gu Shanshan, that vixen, can do it, and so can he.
Thinking it over, Zhong Linyi endured the pain in her wrist and looked at Gong Ye with a pitiful expression.
He even secretly unbuttoned a few buttons on his chest, revealing his perfectly sculpted physique, which he had deliberately maintained through exercise, in an attempt to seduce Gong Ye.
With a sweet, coquettish voice, she called out, "Hello, Mr. Gong, I'm Zhong Linyi. We used to hang out together a lot when we were little..."
Before Zhong Linyi could finish speaking, Gong Ye interrupted her with an impatient frown.
Gong Ye's tone was cold, "Shut up!"
Seeing Gong Ye's coldness towards her, Zhong Linyi hated Gu Shanshan even more.
He could only explain, feeling wronged, "Mr. Gong, you've misunderstood. I was just joking with Shan Shan. I really like Shan Shan."
As he spoke, he reached out to take Gu Shanshan's hand, pretending to be a good friend.
Gu Shanshan isn't a saint or God, so how could she possibly forgive someone who wanted to ruin her face?
Therefore, when Zhong Linyi pulled her over, she shrank closer to Gong Ye's arms.
She looked up at Gong Ye with a pitiful expression, "Mr. Gong, he's lying. I don't know him, and he even tried to scratch me..."
"Sparkle!"
Zhong Linyi forced a stiff smile, stopping Gu Shanshan from saying anything more.
He cursed Gu Shanshan inwardly for being ungrateful. He, a noble young master, had condescended to befriend her, and she dared to be so shameless.
Damn it, I'll kill this little bitch sooner or later.
He stubbornly replied, "Hehe, Shanshan is just joking with me, Mr. Gong, please don't misunderstand."
"Misunderstanding? Ha..."
Gong Ye sneered, looking at the dagger lying on the ground, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
He didn't even glance at Zhong Linyi's flirtatious gestures, but looked at the head of the Zhong family, his voice as cold as a knife.
“My wife was harmed by the Zhong family, and this debt will not be settled so easily.”
The phrase "my wife" stunned everyone present, including Gu Shanshan.
The group of people had different expressions. No one expected that the little toy they thought was unimportant would actually be the wife that Gong Ye had acknowledged.
lady?
Gu Shanshan was completely bewildered; he had no idea when he had married Gong Ye.
Seeing that Gong Ye was angry, the Zhong family patriarch, Mr. Zhong, immediately glared at his troublemaking youngest son and smiled ingratiatingly at Gong Ye.
“Mr. Gong, please don’t be angry. This is all a misunderstanding. Your wife is very magnanimous and won’t hold it against Xiao Yi. He has just returned to the country and is not aware of the situation.”
Gong Ye coldly curled his lips, "Heh, trying to distance yourself by saying you don't know the situation, Patriarch Zhong's words are truly laughable."
Seeing that Gong Ye wasn't going to let it go so easily, the head of the Zhong family broke out in a cold sweat.
They were both afraid and anxious; they couldn't possibly afford to offend Gong Ye, this fearsome figure.
Seeing Gu Shanshan hiding in Gong Ye's arms, who seemed very easy to talk to, he quickly kicked his son.
He roared, "What are you all standing there for? If you don't want to die, hurry up and beg Madam Gong for forgiveness!"
Zhong Linyi was furious but dared not speak out, and was just about to open his mouth.
But Gong Yehan interrupted him, "There's no need for an apology. An eye for an eye. He tried to slash my wife's face, so we'll do the same to him."
After speaking, the bodyguard picked up the knife from the ground, wiped it clean, and respectfully presented it to Gu Shanshan with both hands.
"Madam, please."
Gong Ye forcefully placed the dagger in Gu Shanshan's hand, "Good girl Shanshan, do it."
"No... um..."
Zhong Lin tried to explain, but was immediately grabbed by Gong Ye's bodyguards, who tore a tablecloth to gag him, leaving him speechless and helplessly standing in front of Gu Shanshan.
Gu Shanshan's hands trembled as she gripped the sharp knife.
Looking at Zhong Linyi's face, he couldn't bring himself to make a move.
He was just an ordinary person, and could never do what Zhong Linyi did to him, wantonly destroying other people's faces.
"Shanshan, do it." Gong Ye leaned down and gave the cold command in Gu Shanshan's ear.
He was despicable; he wanted Gu Shanshan to be tainted by his dark and cruel side.
Holding Gu Shanshan's hand tightly, he gripped the sharp knife and slashed it down towards Zhong Linyi's face...
