Chapter 1135: Chapter 1135: Celebrity Assault
"Blackmail! This is extortion!"
Tong’s face turned completely red with anger as she pointed at Huang Cuihua’s nose and cursed, "How can there be someone as shameless as you in this world?"
Huang Cuihua wasn’t sure if these threatening words were considered blackmail, but she still spoke self-righteously without fear, "How am I shameless? People must look out for themselves; it’s a dog-eat-dog world. This money rightfully belongs to us!"
Slap!
A crisp and pleasant sound echoed, the clear sound of a slap.
It was Huang Cuihua’s husband, Zhu Yangwen, who slapped her. He even specifically shifted his injured leg to the edge of the bed just to barely reach her.
It was evident how determined he was to deliver that slap.
Tong laughed at this scene; she had long wanted to do something similar. If it weren’t for Jiang Pan Die’s celebrity status, with her large frame, her slap would have been much fiercer than Zhu Yangwen’s!
Huang Cuihua held her burning cheek, staring blankly at her husband, and after a moment, she roared, "Why did you hit me! Damn it, I’m doing this for the family!"
The roar caught the attention of many people outside the door. They wanted to come in and watch the spectacle, but Qin River’s massive frame blocked the door, preventing anyone from daring to squeeze in.
The nurse, however, was unimpressed by Qin River’s imposing figure. She stood at the door and shouted inside, "What are you shouting about? This is a hospital; if you want to argue, go home and do it!"
After saying this, the nurse turned and left, clearly accustomed to such scenes and having no intention of mediating the dispute.
"You have the nerve to say it’s for the family? I think it’s for money, to the point where you don’t even want your face! Is this thirty thousand something you deserve? It’s unbelievable!" Zhu Yangwen’s eyes were bulging like a bull’s, as furious as his shrew of a wife.
Seeing this, Jiang Pan Die felt quite embarrassed. She had meant well, so how did things turn out this way?
"Hmph! That money, I’m taking it today!" Huang Cuihua said, putting one hand on her hip and pointing at Jiang Pan Die with the other, "You just tell me, yes or no?"
"Say whatever you want, but for money that shouldn’t be spent, I won’t give a single cent, especially to a person like you!" Jiang Pan Die said calmly.
"Fine, you’re not giving it, right!" After saying this, Huang Cuihua suddenly ran to the door, yanked Qin River to the side, and shouted into the hallway outside, "Everyone, come see! Big star Jiang Pan Die hit someone! Look at this handprint on my face, it was Jiang Pan Die who did it!"
The name of a person casts a long shadow. Over the past two years, Jiang Pan Die had become immensely popular all over Great South City and beyond, and last night’s concert was the talk of the town today.
Now, hearing the words ’Jiang Pan Die hit someone,’ a crowd of onlookers rushed forward to see what was going on.
A celebrity hitting someone in public was quite a rare occurrence, and taking a few photos back home would definitely be something to show off.
Like a tide of people, within seconds, a large crowd clogged the doorway of the hospital room, holding up phones to take pictures.
Faced with this situation, Qin River could only try to hold them back, but it was futile—no matter how burly he was, he couldn’t block so many people alone.
"Look, everyone, see this red mark on my face, it’s Jiang Pan Die who did it!" Huang Cuihua pointed at her cheek, her voice loud enough for fear that someone might not hear.
Jiang Pan Die stood in the hospital room, showing no intent to avoid the cameras, with her hands in her pockets, watching Huang Cuihua making a fool of herself.
"Pan Die, Pan Die! I’m your fan! Is what this crazy woman said true?"
"She must be talking nonsense. How could Pan Die hit a crazy woman like her!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
Of course, in the crowd, there were also those who weren’t Jiang Pan Die’s fans, some believing, some not, but overall, they were just there to watch the drama unfold.
After letting Huang Cuihua make a scene for a while, Jiang Pan Die finally walked to the door, her face showing no panic.
Just this aura alone showed a stark contrast with Huang Cuihua, but people were still curious about what she would say.
"Listen, everyone, many of you might have heard about the series of unfortunate events at yesterday’s stadium show. The injured people in this room are my fans. I know they were hurt because someone harmed them, so I just came to visit them."
Pausing for a moment, Jiang Pan Die glanced at Huang Cuihua, who looked like a clown, and said with a smile, "As for this... lady, she claimed I slapped her, which is slander and falsehood, because I have no reason, nor would I ever do such a thing."
Standing before Jiang Pan Die, Huang Cuihua, half a head shorter, glared up at her and shouted, "You did hit me! Still trying to deny it?! This slap mark on my face is proof!"
"A single slap mark is proof? I never even touched you. I dare say this not only here but also in front of the police! Moreover, I’m going to sue you for slander! Although I’m a public figure, I’m also a citizen of Celestial Dragon Continent and have the right to protect my reputation."
Jiang Pan Die said calmly, her words like a slap on Huang Cuihua’s face, stinging painfully.
"I-I can’t argue with you! But you hit me, and this can’t just end like this. I have a witness! Zhu Yangwen, say something! Wasn’t it her who hit me?"
Huang Cuihua looked to her husband, believing that after so many years of marriage, having him say the ’truth’ wouldn’t be difficult.
Because of his leg injury, Zhu Yangwen couldn’t get off the bed, or else he would’ve gone to Huang Cuihua’s side and slapped the other half of her face, then told everyone that slap was his doing too.
Shameful! Truly shameful!
Zhu Yangwen looked at his wife, originally wanting to curse her out, but only managed to utter two words: "Divorce!"
"What?" Huang Cuihua was stunned!
"Divorce!" Zhu Yangwen shouted, "I want a divorce from you!"
Living with a woman like this, Zhu Yangwen thought being single would be better!
"Fine, let’s divorce! Zhu Yangwen, you damn well better not regret it!" Leaving this sentence behind, Huang Cuihua glared at the crowd blocking the door, yelling, "Make way, all of you!"
The crowd opened a path for her to leave, as no one wanted to antagonize a madwoman.
With Huang Cuihua’s departure, the farce concluded. However, the crowd didn’t disperse, since there was still a big celebrity in the hospital room, and getting one or two autographs would be great.
Faced with such a situation, Jiang Pan Die smiled faintly at everyone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, today Pan Die came to the hospital to visit the sick and didn’t intend to disturb them or cause a commotion, so I hope everyone will not block the way here, thank you."
After saying this, she gave a slight bow.
With Qin River blocking the doorway, no one could get in. The crowd looked at each other, unsure whether to disperse or keep standing there.
