Chapter 132: A Resounding Slap (Part Two)
"What are you trying to do?"
Zhong Wei, along with Liang Zhao Hui and Zhou Qing, strode over and positioned themselves to the left and right of Ling Chen. Although they didn’t understand why Ling Chen had slapped Zhu Hong, they knew Ling Chen well enough; he wasn’t the type to act recklessly without a reason. There must be a cause for his actions.
Moreover, as members of the Hongyu Group, it was only natural for them to stand with their own at this time.
Watching the standoff between the two sides, Nanrong Wanqing finally understood why Ling Chen had spoken those words. This was the ’excessive’ matter he had referred to.
In the past, she wouldn’t have hesitated to rebuke Ling Chen and demand an apology from him. But now, after all she had been through, her opinion of Ling Chen had long since changed. Especially considering the experiences of the past two days, her heart had unconsciously leaned towards Ling Chen.
Resting on Ling Chen’s shoulder, she noticed every subtle expression change on his face. She could tell that Ling Chen was very angry at the moment, but he was controlling his rage very well, not showing it on his face.
She really wanted to know what Zhu Hong had done to provoke Ling Chen into such rare fury.
In her contemplation, she suddenly noticed Zhu Hong’s gaze turn towards her. Seeing Zhu Hong’s complex and expectant eyes, she was well aware that he was waiting for her to take a stand. As the chairwoman of the Hongyu Group and Ling Chen’s superior, her attitude was very important to Zhu Hong.
One was her childhood friend, the other a man who had risked his life to save her multiple times. However, in her heart, Ling Chen was not just her savior.
This annoying man had not only stolen her first kiss, but had also ruined her pure reputation. Every time she thought about it, she experienced an indescribable feeling.
