Li Qing and Lian Yingya were shopping.
Whenever Li Qing lingered on an item, Lian Yingya imdiately had it packaged and sent to his ho.
Their shopping spree drew the envy of many and even attracted the attention of the mall’s senior managent.
This mall was a property of the Su Family. Su Junxian and Su Junzhe hadn’t visited for two months. With another business trip looming, they could only squeeze in an evening visit.
Director Fu hurried over to greet them, sweating profusely, while bodyguards in plain clothes blended into the crowd.
Su Junxian asked, "What is Director Fu so anxious about?"
"The young master of the Lian Family brought a woman to the mall for a shopping spree. Conservatively, they’ve already spent over ten million. This matter..."
Spending over ten million in a single evening was a considerable sum, even among wealthy families. The relationships between powerful families needed to be balanced. With Lian Yingya suddenly acting this way, Director Fu felt uneasy. To make matters worse, the two Mr. Sus were present for an inspection. The slightest misstep could lead them to believe he was pressuring his staff into making forced sales.
Su Junzhe said with a smile, "Show the shopping list."
Director Fu quickly handed over the detailed list.
After looking at it, Su Junzhe remarked sarcastically, "Tsk, I thought Lian Yingya had matured with age, but it seems his brain still hasn’t fully developed."
The purchases were mostly won’s items; it appeared he was trying to win over a new love interest.
Su Junxian glanced at the list and said, "Since it’s about courting a woman, let’s not interfere."
The group started their inspection from the first floor.
As Xiaoi and Jian Si arrived on the second floor, they saw Li Qing and Lian Yingya already surrounded by a crowd.
Jian Si looked at Xiaoi with concern. "Are you sure you can do this?"
This girl seems more like a coddled child, Jian Si thought, her doubts growing. Can she really pull this off?
"My sister is a film queen," Xiaoi said. "My acting may not be as good as hers, but it’s not bad either."
When she used to assist her sister, she often practiced scenes with her, honing her acting skills considerably. Many people had offered her acting roles, but she preferred to stay by her sister’s side and had no interest in the entertainnt industry. Those offers eventually ca to nothing.
Before Jian Si could react, Xiaoi darted forward like a cannonball toward Li Qing. Suddenly, a crisp slapping sound echoed as Xiaoi’s hand struck Lian Yingya across the face.
The sudden turn of events stunned everyone present. Xiaoi trembled all over, her eyes red.
"I just gave up our child for you, and here you are fooling around with another woman! Are you even human?"
Lian Yingya’s face bore a bright red handprint as he stared in disbelief at the unfamiliar woman. "Crazy woman, what nonsense are you spouting? I don’t even know you!"
Without a word, Jian Si stepped forward and slapped Li Qing several tis.
"Dare to steal my friend’s man? You’re asking for it!" Her eyes were sharp, glinting with a murderous coldness.
Li Qing was hit so hard she couldn’t even cry out in pain. She had undergone costic surgery and had an implant in her nose. She usually had to be extrely careful with it, but Jian Si’s slaps had been forceful. The implant in her nose was instantly knocked askew. Her surgically altered jawbone was also still in its recovery period. Li Qing clutched her face, not daring to retaliate, terrified of others seeing her disfigured features.
Xiaoi was startled by Jian Si’s combat prowess. I’m no match for her at all!
Lian Yingya rushed to support Li Qing, shouting angrily, "If you two don’t stop this chaos, I’m calling the police!"
"Go ahead and call them!" Xiaoi’s tears stread down her face. "I want everyone here and the police officers to judge who’s in the wrong! I can understand you finding another woman. But why didn’t you tell ? I have dignity; I wouldn’t cling to sothing that doesn’t belong to . You got pregnant, and while I was carrying our child, you were out lavishing gifts on another woman, telling you’d marry if I just aborted our baby?"
"You’re utter scum!"
The onlookers, seeing Xiaoi trembling with rage, believed her. This girl clearly didn’t even seem to know how to curse. If she weren’t heartbroken to an extre, she would never have uttered such words. From beginning to end, she only accused the man, never once berating the other woman. This showed a level of dignity far beyond many original partners who, upon discovering an affair, wouldn’t dare confront their man but would viciously attack the mistress.
Lian Yingya had never encountered such a situation before; he was so angry he felt like steam was rising from his head. "If you spout any more nonsense, I’ll kill you!"
Xiaoi warily took two steps back. To the bystanders, her movent looked like an involuntary retreat born from heartbreak and despair.
"Things have co to this, and you won’t even apologize? Lian Yingya, don’t you understand how to part amicably? We might not be husband and wife, but even as boyfriend and girlfriend, we should respect each other. By humiliating like this, aren’t you just bullying because my family has no money or power? Does the woman by your side have all that?"
He found himself following her line of reasoning. "Of course she does. She is..."
"Damn it! So he’s one of those types who despises the poor and fawns over the rich!" soone in the crowd exclaid. "If you were going to look down on her for not having power or status, why did you get involved with her in the first place? That young lady seems to have a good upbringing and speaks eloquently; her family background must be decent too. What a waste, getting involved with such a pig!"
"What’s this scumbag’s na?"
"Lian!"
"Which Lian Family?"
"Must be. I heard the girl say his na earlier; it sounds like it’s just one character different from Lian Yingting’s na."
"Judging by their family’s company and website, this family is simply too arrogant and bullying!"
Su Junxian and Su Junzhe reached the second floor, drawn by the commotion. Director Fu’s forehead was covered with large beads of sweat. "Mr. Su..."
Su Junxian and Su Junzhe walked over, and the others had no choice but to reluctantly follow suit.
When Lian Yingya saw Su Junxian and Su Junzhe, he quickly shouted, "Mr. Su, two lunatics have co to your mall! Get security to remove them quickly!"
The crowd couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke up in Xiaoi’s defense.
"Mr. Su, don’t listen to his nonsense! He cheated on this young lady and is bullying her rcilessly because she has no influential family to back her up."
"We all saw it. This poor girl has suffered so much, yet she only berated the man and didn’t do anything to the other woman. It was her friend who couldn’t stand it and slapped the mistress a few tis."
"That’s right, everyone here can prove it."
"Even if it goes to the police station, we’re willing to testify for the young lady."
People who appear weak often arouse others’ protective instincts. Moreover, Xiaoi hadn’t uttered a single malicious word from start to finish.
Su Junxian looked at Xiaoi, who was biting her lip and remaining silent. "Young lady, do you have anything to say?"
Xiaoi shook her head helplessly. "I... I don’t know what to do. I think the most important thing for now is to go back to the hospital and focus on my recovery. Since he doesn’t love , there’s no point in clinging to him. Getting angry now would only make miss the best ti to take care of my health."
Xiaoi then looked at Lian Yingya, feigning strength as she continued, "I’m not heartbroken because you don’t love . What I find unbearable is that you fell in love with soone else yet lacked the courage to tell directly. You didn’t respect , you didn’t respect your new love, and you certainly didn’t respect yourself. Lian Yingya, we’re through."
"Damn it, girl, don’t let him off the hook!" a bystander yelled. "You can demand compensation for surgery fees, dical expenses, and emotional distress! Don’t let this scumbag get away with it!"
Lian Yingya was about to explode with rage from being repeatedly called a scumbag. "Can you all shut up? I don’t even know her!"
"Oh, so once you have a new fla, you disown the old one, just like that?"
"My fists are clenched!"
