Chapter 194 He Deserves This Slap
Shi Yin was stunned.
The two plainclothes bodyguards who rushed over to protect their master also paused for a moment.
What's going on?
The sister-in-law slapped her brother-in-law?
The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members no longer recognize each other?
The slap stunned Han Zheng. He didn't react for a long time until the sticky taste of rust spread in his mouth and blood seeped from the corners of his lips. Only then did he realize that he had been beaten.
The assistant who had gone to get the wine came over and saw this shocking scene. He hurriedly put down the goblet in his hand and immediately stepped forward to support his boss. Han Zheng pushed his hand away, stood up, and despite the burning pain on his face, he opened his eyes and stared at An Leyao, who was half a step away, with a dark and cold gaze. Every word he said seemed to be spat out from between his teeth: "You are crazy!"
This slap was delivered with great force.
An Leyao’s hands are still shaking from the beating.
Facing the man's fierce and cold gaze, An Leyao didn't retreat, and acted as if she was trying her best to seek justice: "Where were you when my sister was bullied? Do you act like a husband at all? Have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities as a husband? You're not even as nice to my sister as a dog in my An family!"
"An Leyao!"
"Second Miss An, you have to be careful with your words!" The assistant stepped forward in time to cover up Han Zheng's uncontrollable anger that was about to erupt. As the president of the Han Group, his external image must be calm and generous. He represents not only himself, but also the entire Han Group.
Han Zheng naturally knew this truth.
He has done a good job in the years since he took office, and all the media reports about him are positive.
Seeing her boss take a few deep breaths to maintain a calm demeanor, the assistant continued, "Second Miss An, the boss is your brother-in-law internally and the CEO of a listed company externally. Whether it's out of respect for their status or for the sake of family harmony, you shouldn't hit someone so unculturedly!"
And in such a big occasion.
A dinner party attended by many distinguished guests.
She really doesn't look like a rich girl at all, she's just a vulgar country girl!
No wonder everyone in the upper class said the An family was incredibly lucky to have such a distinguished young lady like An Yan. They also said the An couple had sinned in their past lives, giving birth to a black sheep like An Er, who had poor academic performance, bad behavior, and was incredibly cunning and willful.
really.
The rumors are true.
An Leyao really doesn’t deserve to join the wealthy family in Beijing!
"There are too many bigwigs and celebrities in the banquet hall. Miss An, you are shameless. Don't let those who are related to you lose face. You just messed up the place at Hongmei Villa a while ago. Are you planning to cause a disturbance at Shine's dinner tonight?"
"Who the hell do you think you are!" An Leyao pushed the chattering assistant away. Seeing him fall to the ground, she spat and said, "I'm talking to Han Zheng, and you have the right to interrupt? Don't you even consider how much weight you have!"
The assistant got up cursing.
Go get help.
An Leyao ignored him and turned to look at Han Zheng who was sitting on the sofa again. She said word by word, "Everyone in the circle says that my sister married high up by marrying you. Only you know how much you benefited from her and how much profit you took away!"
"In order to get the Shine Group project back for you, my grandfather, who was so ill he could barely walk, took a flight of over ten hours from abroad to return to Beijing. He personally arrived at the banquet hall tonight and, in a humble manner, used their old friendship to try to get close to Elton."
"My grandfather has never been so servile to anyone in his entire life, working for the An family. But for your project, he's bowing to someone who's a dozen or twenty years his junior! Even a dog knows to wag its tail after being fed. How about you? You're enjoying the benefits brought by our An family, but you're unwilling to even give my sister a little care!"
"The Han family is wealthy and powerful, and you're the CEO of Han Corporation, yet you're unwilling to give her a proper wedding. You're so busy every day, you've never even taken my sister to try on wedding dresses! I thought you had a conscience, but on the wedding night you gave my sister a dazzling blue fireworks display that captivated the entire city. Unexpectedly, it was Han Zhan's proposal gift to Shi Yin!"
"Other people's proposals are more romantic and extravagant than your wedding, but you just won't spend the money. You just don't put your heart into it! I know there's no emotional basis for wealthy marriages, but you haven't even fulfilled the most basic responsibilities of a husband and wife. My sister was beaten tonight, and you didn't care. If that's the case, then you should get slapped too, so you can empathize with my sister and understand her grievances!"
The sofa chairs on the south side are backlit.
Hidden in the depths of light and shadow, Han Zheng's eyes became darker and darker.
Whether in the Han family or in the Beijing community, no one had ever dared to point at him and scold him like this, slapping him in the face in public to embarrass him. His hands, hanging by his side, were clenched into fists, the white knuckles faintly visible.
This detail is hidden deep.
Others can't see it easily.
Shi Yin, who was sitting across from her across the coffee table, saw this. She raised her eyes and gave a look to the plainclothes bodyguards standing a few steps away, asking them to be ready at all times and to subdue Han Zheng in time if he attacked An Leyao.
Before Han Zheng could suppress the rage that threatened to burst forth, the hurried Ms. Bai and Han Tai arrived. The woman, her face etched with worry, hurried over, even trotting over without caring about her image as a lady. Han Tai, behind her, was worried about her and kept his hands out to protect her.
"What are you doing here?"
Ms. Bai scolded.
It was unclear whether the person being scolded was An Leyao or Shi Yin who had remained silent the entire time.
Anyway.
She would never scold Han Zheng.
When the assistant informed her, Ms. Bai knew her son had been slapped. Seeing the injuries on Han Zheng's face, even though she had expected them, her hands trembled with pain. She hurried forward to look at her son's red face and the blood still lingering on the corners of his lips. "Why is he so badly injured? Ah Zheng... Ah Zheng..."
"It's okay, Mom."
"Are you okay? You're bleeding!" Ms. Bai held her son in her arms like a protective child, turned her head, and fixed her gaze as cold as a sword on An Leyao, as if she wanted to tear her into pieces.
An Leyao pursed her lips.
The woman's eyes were as fierce as a demon from hell.
It sends chills down your spine.
As a fellow Beijing resident, An Leyao knew Han Zheng was the golden nugget held in the hands of Ms. Bai and her husband. Unafraid of Han Zheng, she slapped him in the face to vent her sister's anger. Perhaps the woman's expression was too terrifying, completely inconsistent with her usual image of elegance, grace, and gentleness. An Leyao felt a chill in her heart and clenched her hands several times.
Even if I'm afraid.
Still mustering up the courage, he said, "He deserved the slap. I didn't do anything wrong."
Ms. Bai, already deeply protective of her son, was concerned about her own reputation and the family's dignity, which was why she didn't lose her temper in the banquet hall. An Leyao's words undoubtedly broke the last of her rationality. She immediately threw aside her husband, Han Tai, who was trying to persuade her, and rushed forward, raising her arm to slap her: "Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents, you ignorant person who has no respect for elders!"
The woman came over quickly.
An Leyao was completely unprepared and only reacted a few seconds late to dodge. However, it was too late. Seeing the slap about to fall on her face, she subconsciously closed her eyes.
One second.
Two seconds.
There was no pain on the face.
When An Leyao opened her eyes, she saw Ms. Bai's hand suspended in mid-air, just a few centimeters from her face. Someone had grabbed her wrist, stopping her movements. When she looked up again, Shi Yin's face came clearly into her view.
