Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Give Us Justice _1
"You’re being bullied? Look at what you’ve done to others, yet you dare to say others are bullying you?"
"They deserved it."
Shang Jingchen, furious, this woman was growing more arrogant by the day.
"You fight and stir trouble, all confident and unashamed. Just because you’re my wife, do you think you can act lawlessly?"
Knowing he liked her and would never hurt her, made her more insolent. Did she no longer care about his feelings? She was always the type to overstep, but today she had been excessively aggressive.
He liked her, but that didn’t mean he could tolerate her reckless behavior.
"I’m lawless?"
Ye Lu felt wronged. Last time, this man said he liked her, but in crucial moments, he never stood by her side.
"Why should I always be bullied and humiliated? Ever since I married you and became this damn Young Mistress Shang, at every party, I’ve been the target of ridicule. Should I just sit there, allowing people to gossip about and insult me? Does that satisfy you?"
She was fuming with anger.
From being beaten in public at the wedding, to various insults at banquets, who cared about her inner pain? Who had ever offered her a helping hand?
"As a husband, have you ever defended me?"
Shang Jingchen was stunned at her harsh questioning, and he felt guilty.
Yes, he shouldn’t have humiliated her in front of so many people in the past. But tonight was different - she had clearly been in the wrong, yet she was making a scene, with the other person still cowering on the floor.
"This isn’t a proper excuse for your actions. You’re acting like a shrew, completely unrefined and uneducated."
"So, they abused and humiliated me out of refinement? You’re ridiculous. I don’t regret hitting them."
"You..." Shang Jingchen clenched his teeth, irritated at her obstinacy that night. She seemed determined to make a public spectacle of them all.
"Shang Jingchen, I came here tonight not to argue with you. I have something to discuss with you. Come with me."
Ye Lu was tired as well.
In such a humiliating environment, she was always on her own, alone in dealing with everything. And regardless of how tough she was, it distressed her.
But Yuan Jiayin would not allow them to be together, and she hastily grabbed hold of Shang Jingchen: "Jingchen, don’t be angry. Even though her display shamed us, she might have her reasons. We should listen to her side of the story before blaming her."
Yuan Jiayin had brought the situation back to square one.
Ye Lu’s face changed, and she felt panicky.
"Yuan Jiayin, spare me your fake kindness."
She could handle these women whispering behind her back, but not in front of an audience. She didn’t want any more people to know about the baby.
She couldn’t bear to let her beloved child be laughed at as a bastard.
Yuan Jiayin played the victim: "Miss Ye, I just want to clear your name. If they are at fault, they should apologize to you."
Once she said this, the other women grew furiously vocal.
"Apologize to her? Why? She should apologize to us, she was the one who started the fight."
"Exactly, don’t think you can get away with this. After hitting us so viciously, we won’t let this be. President Shang, you need to demand justice for us."
Just as the women were kicking up a fuss, a group of journalists rushed in, cameras flashing non-stop. The spectacle of a wealthy man’s wife and mistress scrapping was always a good story.
The women strutted around even more: "Now that the media is here, in front of everyone, you have to give us an explanation. Otherwise, your Shang Corporation will lose face. Tonight, you have to produce an answer."
