"Watch your mouth, you bastard! Who's the vixen?"
Before Shen Yanqing could speak, Ye Chuyue rushed forward and slapped Shen Yao hard across the face, standing protectively in front of Gu Baiwei.
Gu Baiwei was slightly stunned, her heart softening instantly; her daughter was protecting her.
"You brat, how dare you hit me? Brother Yan Qing."
Shen Yao covered her swollen left cheek with one hand and looked at Shen Yanqing with a wronged expression, wanting him to stand up for her. But when she looked up, she met Shen Yanqing's dark eyes, which were devoid of any warmth, and her heart skipped a beat.
Shen Yanqing's eyes no longer held their former gentleness; his cold, deep gaze met Shen Yao's, and his aura was oppressive: "Apologize."
"Did you hear me? Apologize to me."
Shen Yao was startled by his gaze earlier, but now that Shen Yanqing spoke up to defend her, she immediately put her hands on her hips and glared at Ye Chuyue and the other person with a smug look on her face.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Shen Yanqing's increasingly cold and deep voice was heard: "I said you should apologize to Weiwei."
The chilling words made Shen Yao's heart sink to the bottom. Her brother Yan Qing actually told her to get out and apologize for such a lowly woman.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuyue rolled her eyes at Shen Yao with a smug look on her face, but she actually felt a little bit of goodwill towards this Mr. Shen.
"Go ahead and kill me if you dare! I'd rather die than apologize to this vixen!"
Shen Yao's eyes instantly reddened, but she still stubbornly refused to compromise. Why should she apologize to this woman? She and Brother Yan Qing had always been on good terms, never even arguing since childhood. Today, because of this woman, Brother Yan Qing treated her like this? And he even wanted her to apologize?
Thinking of this, her eyes reddened even more: "You want me to apologize? No way!"
After she finished speaking, she turned and left, rubbing her reddened eyes as she went, and glared at Gu Baiwei fiercely: "Shameless vixen, we'll see!"
Ye Chuyue immediately exploded: "You fucking dare to say that again?"
Gu Baiwei pulled her daughter back and said softly, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Shen."
Ye Chuyue immediately understood what her aunt meant: "That's right, unlike some people who look like washboards that have come to life, you can't tell the front from the back, they don't even deserve to be called vixens, tsk."
Gu Baiwei chuckled. Her daughter was quick-witted, but unfortunately, she didn't use it for studying.
"What did you say? Who's the washboard?"
Shen Yao's face immediately darkened.
Ye Chuyue stuck out her tongue: "Whoever answers is the one who's talking about water."
Seeing Shen Yao's face turn as red as a palette of colors with anger, Gu Baiwei chuckled and patted her daughter's head: "Miss Shen, don't take this girl's words to heart. This child always tells the truth."
At the same time, Shen Yao was blocked by a tall figure: "Miss Shen."
Big Head stood in front of Shen Yao with a cold, dark face and said expressionlessly, "You haven't apologized to Miss Gu yet."
Shen Yao could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face. "Brother Yan Qing, they were the ones who were insulting me! Why are you siding with them? I'm going to tell my father that you treated me like this for some shameless woman who came from who-knows-where? You'll regret it."
Apologize before you leave.
Shen Yanqing stared at her with his deep eyes, cold as ice, and his words seemed to be filled with icy shards.
Shen Yao's expression froze. She was already crying, and Brother Yan Qing was still forcing her to apologize.
But she knew very well what kind of person Shen Yanqing was. Despite his gentle and refined appearance, he was actually very strong and domineering. Once he made up his mind, even his grandfather would have a hard time changing it.
If she doesn't apologize now, Shen Yanqing will definitely keep his word and not let her leave.
As more and more onlookers gathered around, Shen Yao's eyes became even redder, and her tears fell even more fiercely.
But Shen Yanqing seemed completely oblivious, only glancing at her with a cold, clear gaze, calmly repeating, "Apologize to my girlfriend."
girlfriend?
Shen Yao's heart was pierced by this word. It was the first time she had heard this word from her brother Yan Qing's mouth, and her heart was burning with jealousy.
She stood still, biting her lower lip tightly, without moving an inch.
Gu Baiwei frowned, seeing the situation getting increasingly tense. Remembering that Shen Yao was Shen Yanqing's cousin, she said coldly, "Yanqing, forget it. It won't hurt me to curse you a couple of times. You can't expect a dog to bite me back after biting me, can you?"
It's enough that Shen Yanqing is there to protect her; at least he's not like Ye Yunting in her previous life, who was indifferent when she was bullied by her relatives.
Moreover, the woman's apology was completely worthless to her.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanqing's eyes flickered slightly, and he firmly enveloped her small hand in his palm: "My woman, no one but me can bully her."
Gu Baiwei inexplicably heard another meaning in that word "bullying," and her ears instantly turned red.
Just then, an older woman who had just come over to join the commotion tugged at the sleeve of the woman next to her and asked, "What's going on? Are they catching a mistress?"
When asked, the middle-aged woman immediately leaned in with a gossipy look: "What mistress? My cousin saw her cousin dating someone and went crazy with jealousy..."
"Tsk, cousins, they're really living it up. These rich people are really something..."
Hearing the increasingly offensive comments around him, Shen Yanqing remained unfazed, while Shen Yao's expression grew increasingly grim.
It's all because of that vixen and that little bitch that she was humiliated in public.
As a returned overseas graduate student, she should have been the center of attention, but on her very first day back in China, she was being pointed at and gossiped about. She wouldn't let those two bitches get away with it.
Although Gu Baiwei disliked Shen Yao, she did not want Shen Yanqing to have his relationship with her second uncle's family affected by him, so she tugged at Shen Yanqing's sleeve again: "Yanqing, forget it, I don't care about her apology."
The large hand below grasped hers, and the voice was firm: "This apology must be made."
As the surrounding chatter grew louder, and Da Tou remained steadfastly in front of her, Shen Yao could only lower her head, grit her teeth, and whisper, "I'm sorry, Miss Gu."
"Can I leave now?"
After saying that, she looked at Shen Yanqing with tears welling up in her eyes, biting her lip, looking extremely pitiful and aggrieved.
Da Tou glanced at Shen Yanqing, and seeing that his boss didn't react, he knew that she had agreed, so he moved aside from Shen Yao.
Shen Yao clenched her fingers so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms. Biting her lip, she ran towards the restaurant. She wanted her father to stand up for her and keep this vixen far away from Brother Yan Qing, and make her pay for what happened today.
Once everyone had left, the onlookers reluctantly departed.
Shen Yanqing grabbed Gu Baiwei's hand and pulled her directly into his car.
By the time Ye Chuyue realized what was happening, the car had already started.
"Hey, wait a minute, what are you doing?"
