Chapter 19 Teasing Her! Call Me Brother! Dare to Spread My Lewd Rumors? I'll Beat You Up!
Xia Mian wasn't going to tolerate her. She forcefully pulled her hand back and slapped Lu Lian'er across the face.
"You've fabricated rumors about me without any evidence, Lu Lian'er. Do you still consider me the Xia Mian you trampled on back then?"
"Xia Mian! You bitch, how dare you hit me!" Lu Lian'er's face stung with pain, showing how much force Xia Mian had used.
"You're just jealous that my brothers dote on me and that Grandma dotes on me. So what if you're angry? You're still a pathetic wretch no one wants! A stray dog that ran away from the Xia family with its tail between its legs!"
Lu Lian'er always knew where Xia Mian hurt the most when she poked her!
If it were Xia Mian from her past life, she would definitely be in unbearable pain, but now...
Lu Lian'er was so angry that she raised her hand to hit Xia Mian, but Xia Mian was quick to grab her collar and slapped Lu Lian'er hard.
"I don't want Brother Scum anymore, and you can have Grandma too! You two better be locked together forever!"
Lu Lian'er stared wide-eyed in astonishment. She simply couldn't believe that Xia Mian had slapped her twice in just a few minutes.
My mouth tastes metallic; it's bleeding!
My cheeks hurt so much, and my mouth hurts too!
She was so angry that tears streamed down her face, and with two bright red handprints on her face, she rushed towards the private room.
"Big brother... I don't want to live anymore! Xia Mian hit me! Xia Mian, you just wait, I'll beat you to death!"
Xia Qinglin was originally exchanging pleasantries with Xu Luo.
He heard Lu Lian'er's voice from afar, and he hurriedly got up to see Lu Lian'er pushing open the door of the private room and running towards him.
He instinctively opened his arms and hugged Lu Lian'er tightly. When he looked down, he saw bright red handprints on the girl's cheeks, which were swollen and red like two large loaves of bread.
His eyes were bloodshot with rage, and his voice was forced out through clenched teeth.
"Who dares to hit you!"
"Didn't you know you were my sister, Xia Qinglin's sister?"
Lu Lian'er nestled weakly in Xia Qinglin's arms, her little hands clutching his sleeves, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed and let out a soft, baby-like hiccup. She was as delicate as a fragile dodder vine.
Xia Qinglin felt extremely distressed seeing this and wished she could grab the person who hit her and stab them to death.
Lu Lian'er raised her swollen face, tears welling in her eyes, her voice filled with anguish, "Big brother...it's Xia Mian!"
"Xia Mian? What's she doing here? Where is she?" Xia Qinglin was furious!
He stormed out of the private room with Lu Lian'er, but Xia Mian was nowhere to be seen in the restroom.
Xia Mian ran back to the VIP room.
After sitting down, her palms were still slightly numb; she had used all her strength to hit Lu Lian'er.
Lu Lian'er's two slaps were a little interest she was collecting from my past life.
"Why did it take so long?" Fu Yanshen looked up at Xia Mian. The girl's eyes were mischievous, like a little fox, her gaze full of cleverness and intelligence.
Just then, he heard a commotion outside the private room.
Lu Lian'er pointed to the VIP room and said to Xia Qinglin, "Xia Mian must be hiding here, brother! Let's go in!"
Fu Yanshen raised an eyebrow. "What did you do?"
Xia Mian's eyes shone brightly. "I encountered a dog barking wildly at me, so I slapped her twice."
"Don't use your hands directly next time, it'll hurt your palms." Fu Yanshen smiled slightly. "Call my bodyguards. Men should do the rough work."
As he spoke, he stretched out his large hand towards Xia Mian.
Xia Mian froze, unable to follow his train of thought.
"Give me your hand."
The man gave the order in a soft voice.
Xia Mian hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her two hands. Her fair palms were covered in bright red blood and slightly swollen.
The man took out a bottle of ointment from somewhere, unscrewed the cap, and gently scooped out some with his fingertip. The cool, minty ointment was then applied to Xia Mian's palm.
The man's rough fingertips, coated with cool ointment, gently caressed her skin, sending a shiver down Xia Mian's spine from her palms to every part of her body.
She almost collapsed from the chair into the man's arms.
Realizing that such a terrible thought had arisen in her mind, she immediately sat up straight, so straight that she seemed ready to salute!
Her voice was soft and sweet, "I can apply the medicine myself."
"You can't." The man lifted his eyelids to glance at her, his tone domineering and brooking no refusal.
Outside the private room, Lu Lian'er's pitiful sobs could be heard continuously, "Big brother, she must be hiding here... Big brother, you must do justice for me."
Xia Qinglin, who had previously maintained the demeanor of the Xia family heir, was now furious and shouted, "Xia Mian, get out here right now!"
He glared at the guard standing at the door and shouted, "Get out of my way! Do you even know who I am?!"
The guard, dressed in military uniform and standing ramrod straight, had a cold gaze. "Sorry, you need an appointment to see our commander! No one is allowed to trespass!"
Xia Qinglin frowned. "Chief? Are you kidding me? Don't think that just because you're dressed like that you're some big shot's lackey!"
"Really?" The next second, the guard put his right hand on the holster at his waist.
Before he could even draw his gun, Xia Qinglin and Lu Lian'er turned pale with fright and took two steps back in unison.
"You...you..."
"Anyone who disturbs our leader's peace and quiet will be punished!" The guard's cold and authoritative gaze swept over Xia Qinglin and Lu Lian'er.
The two fled in terror.
Xu Luo came out of the private room, looked at the backs of the brother and sister, and sneered.
That's it?
The guard was just threatening them; how could he possibly be punished?
ridiculous!
Xia Mian listened intently to the sounds outside the private room, and as the chaotic footsteps faded into the distance, she laughed out loud.
"What a coward! You're so easily frightened!"
"I helped you scare them away, how will you thank me?" Fu Yanshen slowly capped the medicine bottle, his dark eyes giving Xia Mian a half-smile.
The man's Adam's apple bobbed as he stared at her. "Xia Mian, hmm?"
He! He called her Xia Mian again!
Xia Mian opened her eyes wide and looked at his thin lips, feeling her cheeks burning.
He also hummed in response, with a slightly drawn-out, upward-sweeping tone at the end.
Did he discover... something... and call her name again?
Xia Mian lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to look at him.
His expression was somewhat unnatural, and he hesitated for a long time before speaking, "I don't know how to thank you."
"Then... call me brother?" Fu Yanshen seemed to be in a pleasant mood, which was quite nice.
He originally just wanted to be satisfied by seeing her every day, but now he feels that simply looking at her is no longer enough to relieve his longing and torment.
He wanted to hear her voice, to hear the pleasant sounds he longed to hear coming from her throat.
Xia Mian took a breath and opened her mouth, but found herself too nervous to make a sound.
Realizing the problem, she shut her mouth in defeat.
After a while, she finally spoke, "Big, big brother."
"Wrong, it's 'older brother'." Fu Yanshen's face immediately turned sour, and he narrowed his eyes. "Not 'eldest brother'."
Xia Mian was like a shy little child in kindergarten, her hands unconsciously clasped together, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
