Chapter 59 - 55: She Seduced Me
Shen Jianian’s heart was pounding, this wasn’t the first time she had encountered such a situation.
Back in Beicheng, she was still Shen’s daughter, her status was special, and during certain public events, she’d also encounter men who behaved flippantly after getting drunk.
While at school, when she occasionally went out for late-night snacks, more than once she was blocked by boys from other schools who confessed their love, and after rejecting them, they would retaliate with verbal abuse.
At events, her parents had her back, so no one dared to do anything to her. During middle and high school, Pei Che would protect her, and those boys only got away with some verbal advantage without causing her any substantial harassment. After entering college, Pei Che was sent abroad to study by his family, but her best friend Bai Changxia would guard her. Xiaxia, with her cold personality and unrelenting words, had practiced Muay Thai, and just by standing in front of her, those boys wouldn’t dare act rashly.
This was the first time she had to handle such a thing alone.
"In public, please have some decency."
Shen Jianian hit her leg against the edge of the table, with no way to retreat behind her, she took a step to the side to maintain a relatively safe distance from the middle-aged man.
"Which part of what I said was indecent?" The man laughed, squinting his eyes as he blatantly ogled Shen Jianian’s chest and waist, his voice turning suggestive, a sudden rise of ambiguity, "Didn’t you splash juice on me first? And now you’re unwilling to take responsibility?"
Shen Jianian remained calm, her tone had grown a bit cold: "I’ve already apologized."
Finishing her sentence, she placed the cup on the dining table and stepped forward to leave.
The middle-aged man saw her refusing to drink to toast and choosing to drink the penalty, he advanced, capturing her wrist without fear of being seen by others.
"Is an apology all it takes to settle this?" The man whispered, "Who taught you your manners?"
