"Your lip is split and bleeding. What blood are you spitting out? Are you trying to scare yourself to death, or am I?"
Zhu Pandi was slapped on both cheeks, leaving both sides numb and her mind blank.
But when Zhao Zhiyi said that, he realized that his condition was not so serious. He was both excited and annoyed. He was glad that he hadn't had any major problems, but he was also disappointed that he couldn't extort a big sum of money from Chen Hui.
"Really? It's just a sore lip? Zhao, you're not lying to me, are you? Don't lie to me just to protect your male educated youth."
"Hey, Brother Qiang, could you please take a look? Is it really just blood at the corner of my mouth? I feel like I can't move my face at all, sob sob..."
Shi Qiang genuinely liked Zhu Pandi, so even though Zhu Pandi said hurtful things to him many times, he often ignored her. But as soon as she paid attention to him, he would immediately run over to her like a lapdog.
For example, right now, before Zhu Pandi had even finished speaking, Shi Qiang had already rushed up to her and taken the candlestick from Zhao Zhiyi's hand.
"Nana, don't move. Open your mouth gently, and I'll take a look. If it hurts, remember to tell me, and I'll be gentler."
Zhu Pandi opened her mouth as wide as possible, wanting Shi Qiang to check if she had any other injuries, so she didn't realize that Shi Qiang had already put his hand in her mouth.
After carefully examining the area, Shi Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhu Pandi:
"It's nothing, just a scratch. There's a small cut on the corner of your mouth, and the skin underneath is also a little broken. You must have bitten it with your teeth. There's no blood, silly girl, don't scare yourself."
Zhu Pandi was completely relieved, but she wasn't going to let Chen Hui off the hook so easily. So, with her face swollen like a steamed bun, she went up to Zhao Zhiyi and asked for compensation, albeit in a somewhat incoherent way.
"Zhao Zhiqing, did you hear that? It's not just the corner of my mouth that's cracked, it's inside too. I haven't been able to eat properly since then."
And another thing, I didn't say anything to him, but I just said he talked like he was performing in an opera, and he slapped me twice. What did I do to offend him? Anyway, he has to compensate me.
Zhao Zhiyi rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and passed the problem to Chen Hui, who was just standing there awkwardly.
“Chen Zhiqing, tell me what to do. No matter what, you shouldn’t have resorted to violence. The other party is a woman, and you are a man. Can’t you talk things out?”
Chen Hui held his head high, not feeling that he had done anything wrong, and even felt quite pleased with himself.
"What do you mean, what should I do? All she wants is money, right? I'll just give it to her, okay? I slapped her twice, is two cents alright?"
"no!!!!"
Before Zhao Zhiyi could speak, he heard Zhu Pandi's fierce resistance.
"No way! You think you can give a beggar two cents? One dollar!"
Chen Hui was stunned and took two steps over.
"One dollar? Are you even worth one dollar? Why don't you just rob someone?"
"I can come with you, but you can only do it if I let you hit me eight more times, no matter what the consequences are. What do you want?"
To be honest, Zhu Pandi was actually a little tempted, after all, it was a dollar, but Shi Qiang stopped her at the crucial moment.
"Nana, no, Chen Hui is very strong. I might not be able to withstand eight more hits, let alone you."
Zhu Pandi was about to get angry, wondering if Shi Qiang was trying to stop her from making money again. However, she quickly remembered the second slap she had received, which was much more painful than the first one.
When the first slap landed on her face, she only felt some pain, followed by a numbness. But the second slap was completely different from the first, leaving her stunned.
