Chapter 469: Not a Match
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This woman really didn’t learn her lesson. Did she think that no one was her match without Chief Zheng?
Shi Man sneered and stopped Yi Zheng’s arm. She took a step forward and raised her hand to slap her hard. “This is for my mother. Remember, you can go crazy if you want, but if you dare to speak rudely to my mother, I’ll beat you until you remember!”
Zheng Xin’s round eyes widened, and her pupils were about to fall out of her eyes. “What are you doing! I’m the person with the script. If you dare to hit me, 1’11 make sure you don’t even have a corpse tomorrow!”
“Go ahead and try.” Shi Man couldn’t be bothered with her. She raised her hand and pushed her aside, wanting to invite Shen Xian and Lu Xiang in first.
Zheng Xin was pushed by her and almost fell to the ground. Her head accidentally hit the wall at the side and her forehead was swollen.
The people around her gradually looked at her with schadenfreude. Although they didn’t know what had happened, from the girl’s words, they knew that she might be mentally abnormal and treated her as a joke.
For a moment, no one stood up to speak up for her.
Zheng Xin could sense the faint mockery around her. Her face immediately flushed red like a cooked crab. She immediately grabbed Shi Man’s arm angrily and raised her hand to return the slap.
Unexpectedly, not only did Shi Man break free from her shackles, but she also blocked her slap with her backhand. She raised her other hand high and landed on the other side of her still intact face.
“Pa.” Another loud slap sounded clearly in her ear.
Zheng Xin was stunned. Before she could react, the cold voice sounded above her head again. “If you want to survive, you have to understand that there’s always someone better. Didn’t anyone teach you this in the past?”
Zheng Xin was surprised to hear pity in Shi Man’s tone. Her pride seemed to have been shattered by her in an instant.
She pointed at Shi Man’s nose fiercely and exhaled. She gritted her teeth and said, “Just you wait. I definitely won’t let you have an easy time. Yi Zheng will only be mine!”
Shi Man was not surprised that she would not stop here. She sneered, “If you want to be beaten, do as you please.”
“You!” Zheng Xin wanted to continue attacking, but the burning pain on her cheek was still reminding her that she was not this woman’s match at all!
Damn it, could it be that her strength had been suppressed after she transmigrated?
Otherwise, how could she have been slapped by Shi Man just now?
Zheng Xin couldn’t be sure for a moment, so she could only say ruthless words. She snorted and pushed away the passersby who were watching the commotion before leaving the cafeteria aggressively.
She wanted to find a few people to practice and confirm her current strength!
After finally chasing away the fly, Lu Xiang heaved a sigh of relief. Her heart ached as she held Shi Man’s hand that had hit Zheng Xin just now. “It’s been hard on you, my baby. Your hand hurts, right? Quickly let Auntie rub it for you!”
Shi Man couldn’t help but laugh as she sat beside her. She shook her head helplessly and said, “Auntie Lu, I’m the one who hit her. Yet you’re worried about whether my hand will hurt.”
“You were just defending yourself!” Lu Xiang said righteously. “I saw it just now. That girl wanted to hit you! In the future, don’t be soft on such people. Just hit them back! Otherwise, how depressing will it be when you think about how you didn’t have fun beating them up!”
Shi Man couldn’t help but to be amused by what she said. She looked at Shen Xian curiously and said, “Mom, was Auntie Lu especially domineering when she was young? No one dared to provoke her easily?”
“That’s indeed the case.” Shen Xian, who was still in a daze, came back to her senses. She nodded with nostalgia in her eyes and said, “Your Auntie Lu has stood up for me a lot in the past. I have a soft personality and am easily targeted by the young ladies of the aristocratic families. She was the one who helped me out.”
Lu Xiang placed her hands on her hips proudly and said, “Of course! From M City to G City, no one is my match! Fortunately, Manman isn’t as easy to bully as your mother back then. Your mother was the softest persimmon among the young ladies of the aristocratic families back then.”
Shen Xian rolled her eyes at her and couldn’t help but retort, “If I wasn’t a pushover, would you take the initiative to hit on me?”
“How can that be called hitting on you!” At the mention of what happened back then, Lu Xiang’s eyes lit up. “Back then, you, me, and Xiao Jing…”
The originally warm atmosphere in the private room suddenly became dead silent because of Xiao Jing.
Shi Man knew that the person she was talking about was Yao Jing, the culprit who killed Yi Zheng’s grandmother.
Only Lu Xiang knew the details of that matter the best. However, from today, Lu Xiang did not seem to hate Yao Jing much. When she mentioned her, her eyes were filled with nostalgia and pity.
Shen Xian stole a glance at Yi Zheng’s suddenly darkened expression and changed the topic with a smile. She found a waiter and ordered a few signature dishes and a bottle of good red wine. She smiled and wanted to compete with Lu Xiang.
Shi Man quietly pulled Yi Zheng’s hand under the table, and he held hers tightly..
