Chapter 35: I’ll Fight You
"The Ji family has always been kind to the Cheng family. After Ji Yan’s accident, he entrusted the Ji Corporation to your brother. Does Cheng Songyang know that you treat members of the Ji family like this outside? Does he know that his good sister is actually an ungrateful ingrate?"
Cheng Liu covered her burning cheeks. No matter how painful her face was, it was incomparable to the gazes from those around her. Those contemptuous, disdainful, and sarcastic gazes felt as if they were stripping off her clothes and throwing her onto the street, letting everyone point and laugh at her.
She knew that even though her brother was now in charge of the Ji Corporation, to outsiders, the Ji Corporation still belonged to the Ji family. As long as Ji Yan did not die, they could never surpass the Ji family.
Just like now, even though Shen Hanxing slapped her and scolded her in front of everyone, everyone felt that Shen Hanxing was in the right. Everything was Cheng Liu’s fault, so she deserved to be slapped! After this banquet ended, who knew what the others will say about her! How was she supposed to fortify her status in the upper-class society in the future?
Cheng Liu thought of her bleak future and flew into a rage. Her eyes were red with anger as she pounced towards Shen Hanxing. "Shen Hanxing, you bitch, what right do you have to slap me? I’ll fight you!"
"Ha."
Shen Hanxing sneered. She lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, and one of her white ankles flashed in front of everyone. In the next second, she sent Cheng Liu flying backward and watched her fall to the ground in a sorry state.
Shen Hanxing’s eyes fluttered, and she looked extremely arrogant. Her charming eyes filled with endless coldness and she was like a mermaid who walked out from the bottom of the sea, looking down on all living things. Shen Hanxing said, "You claim to be a socialite, but in reality, you’re only a shrew who only knows how to fight when things don’t go your way. How incompetent!"
"Xiao Liu [Cheng Liu’s nickname]!"
Ji Yan’s aunt, who was also Cheng Liu’s mother, rushed over from the main hall and screamed, "Shen Hanxing, what are you doing? You married into the Ji family, so Xiao Liu is your cousin. How could you hit Xiao Liu?"
After saying that, she carefully helped Cheng Liu up.
