The wealthy woman opposite her gave Sheng Ting another sharp look, her words becoming even more impolite: "I heard you went to the countryside with Xiang Rong for a few days? And you were behaving intimately during that time. People from the countryside are just like that, shameless."
Sheng Ting's face paled even more.
"Mr. Qiao and I were just traveling together in the countryside. There were other people traveling with us, Mrs. Qiao, I didn't..."
"Smack!"
Sheng Ting was slapped.
It happened so suddenly that Sheng Ting didn't even have time to react.
After beating the man, the woman opposite sneered, "Even if he's an illegitimate child, it's not your place to take advantage of him, you worthless bastards."
Sheng Ting's face instantly turned ashen.
“Mrs. Qiao, Mr. Qiao and I are innocent. Nothing happened. Why are you saying this to me and even hitting me?”
Upon hearing that this brat dared to talk back, Zhao Rong narrowed her eyes, put on the airs of a wealthy lady, and said coldly, "I'm beating up a shameless country girl like you. You don't behave yourself and instead run around seducing rich young masters. Don't you even know if you're worthy?"
Zhao Rong's words made Sheng Ting's face grow increasingly pale, and her body trembled as she suppressed her emotions.
When Zhao Rong saw this, she thought that Sheng Ting was afraid of her.
How dare a country girl like her covet the young master of the Qiao family?
That's just wishful thinking.
Sheng Ting never dared to covet someone like Qiao Xiangrong; she was well aware of her own limitations.
But just because she went to the countryside with Qiao Xiangrong for a few days, she was humiliated by such a person when she returned. In addition to feeling wronged, Sheng Ting was also furious.
She's not the same Sheng Ting who used to be so irritable in Wutong Village anymore.
Having seen so much since leaving home, her personality has changed as well.
“Mrs. Qiao, Mr. Qiao and I did not do anything out of line. On the contrary, you, without asking any questions, started to insult me and even hit me. In all my time in Beijing, I have never seen a wealthy lady like you, so unreasonable, and doing things that only a shrew would do.”
Zhao Rong's expression changed drastically.
"You little bitch, you're insulting me..."
As she spoke, Zhao Rong stood up and was about to slap Sheng Ting.
With a "smack," Zhao Rong felt a sharp pain and numbness on one side of her face.
Sheng Ting, being a hard-working person, has a much stronger grip than a wealthy woman like Zhao Rong.
For a moment, Zhao Rong was also stunned.
Even her family members had never hit her like that.
Zhao Rong was both angry and bewildered.
“Mrs. Qiao, I only came in with you because of Mr. Qiao, but you cannot insult my and Mr. Qiao’s reputation.”
Sheng Ting knew that if she didn't resist, she would be seen as a shameless vixen.
Thinking about all the people behind her, whether it's a clothing store or a skincare product store, they can't let her reputation affect them.
Even if Sheng Ting was scared just now, she still had to show her strength to deal with it.
Sheng Qian sat down on the other side as they came in.
When she saw Sheng Ting being beaten, she thought of getting up.
But the next moment, seeing Sheng Ting's beautiful counterattack, she sat down again.
Sheng Ting was much more assertive than she had imagined.
At least when subjected to such insults, they know how to fight back.
"You, you little bitch, how dare you hit me..." Zhao Rong was furious.
"Does Mrs. Qiao really have to show off her shrewish image here?" Sheng Ting spat out through gritted teeth, immediately causing Zhao Rong to lower her raised hand.
Looking around at the gazes, Zhao Rong's eyes darkened.
He glared coldly at Sheng Ting.
If you offend her, that little bitch doesn't even dream of marrying into the Qiao family!
"You'd better remember what you did today," Zhao Rong said through gritted teeth, picked up her bag, and turned to leave the restaurant.
As soon as everyone left, Sheng Ting slumped into her seat like a deflated balloon.
She was also very scared just now.
After all, the other party was a wealthy woman, and they were worried that she might use her anger to target their clothing store and beauty salon.
Just as Sheng Ting was feeling worried, a figure stood in front of her.
She looked up and saw Sheng Qian: "Xiao Qian!"
Sheng Qian sat down in the seat where Zhao Rong had just been sitting. "Are you alright?"
Sheng Ting felt as if she had found her anchor, and her worries immediately subsided. Sheng Qian always had a calming effect on her mind.
As if she could see the worry in Sheng Ting's heart, Sheng Qian said, "You did very well just now. If someone bullies you, you should fight back double. Let others know that we individual business owners are not so easy to bully. Now we talk about equality for all, and even the big leaders above have no right to treat us like this."
Sheng Ting stared at her blankly: "Xiao Qian, do you really think I did a good job?"
“Of course, we don’t need to be afraid of their retaliation. If they dare to come, we’ll just call the police. Since it’s their shameless wife, why should we give them face?” Sheng Qian didn’t want Sheng Ting to develop a timid personality.
She encouraged this.
"Thank you, Xiaoqian," Sheng Ting said, her eyes reddening.
“I brought you out here not to be wronged,” Sheng Qian said, patting her shoulder.
Sheng Ting was very grateful to Sheng Qian. Without Sheng Qian, she would never be where she is today.
*
Qiao Xiangrong noticed something was off at home today, but he didn't stay there for long and went out with his men.
He was in the business of selling imported goods and often traveled all over the world.
There are reasons why he does this kind of business.
I just don't want to stay in the Qiao family for years.
