Chapter 452: Unexpectedly Got Slapped for No Reason
Rong Yan inexplicably received a slap, and it wasn’t until the sting had settled in that she realized what happened, feeling like she’d been screwed over by fate. She didn’t say a word before delivering a slap back to Shen Siyuan, who was looking down on her as if teaching her a lesson from a higher ground.
No one present expected Rong Yan to dare to return the slap.
After all, Shen Siyuan was Miss Shen of the Shen Family, and although the Shen Family was based abroad, their power was not much less than that of the Li Family. Definitely not someone a D-list actress could afford to provoke.
But Rong Yan didn’t wait a second, striking back immediately. It was so quick and direct that everyone present was stunned.
Even Shen Siyuan, covering her face, was dumbstruck for a moment.
“You dare to hit me?” she asked, her eyes brimming with incredulity.
Rong Yan’s slap had been delivered without any courtesy, swift and decisive. She withdrew her hand, her expression cool as she said, “I’m merely returning Miss Shen’s slap, it can hardly be called hitting.”
If she really wanted to hit her, she could knock her teeth out, believe it or not!
But she was at a public event, working, and it wasn’t convenient, that’s all.
“Additionally, about what Miss Shen just said, that I’m embarrassing Li Shengxiao. Even if that were true, what business is it of yours?”
“…” Shen Siyuan, still clutching her face, was left speechless.
“Whether I’m a toy or someone easily discarded, what does that have to do with Miss Shen? In what right are you standing in front of me, pointing fingers and lecturing me with such authority?”
It’s already the 21st century, and for a moment there, she thought she was a concubine getting schooled by the first wife.
But the problem is, legally and rightfully, her name is on the marriage certificate.
Even if she had a three-year agreement with Li Shengxiao, during those three years, she is legally Mrs. Li. Putting that aside, she’s currently in a relationship with that man, his legitimate girlfriend. What right does Shen Siyuan have to slap her and tell her not to embarrass her own boyfriend?
“I’m not Mrs. Li, are you?” she said to the person who was deliberately picking a quarrel and even resorting to physical aggression. She wasn’t Saint Mary, with an endless supply of serene wisdom to reason with.
The room fell silent. Shen Siyuan, challenged by the question, looked extremely embarrassed. For the first time, she felt like she couldn’t save face, her cheeks flushing to the color of pig liver, fury swelling as she raised her hand, “You’re presumptuous!”
Rong Yan accurately caught her wrist in mid-air, pinning it firmly, looking at her sternly as she said, “Miss Shen, I’d advise you not to raise your hand. Or else, if there’s a next time, I won’t just return the favor as I did just now.”
Are you intending to raise your hand against me again? Shen Siyuan’s nostrils flared with anger, “Who do you think you are? Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell brother Shengxiao?”
This woman, nothing more than a toy, had the audacity to act so arrogantly. Really thinking she was something. And she dared to stand up to her.
Did she have any idea about her relationship with brother Shengxiao?
They were childhood sweethearts, and her brother was good friends with brother Shengxiao!
This woman actually had the foolish gall to offend her?
Shen Siyuan’s eyes looked as though they could murder Rong Yan.
Rong Yan acted as though she saw nothing, just as she was about to reply. Unexpectedly, a familiar voice came from outside, “What’s going on here?”
Rong Yan turned her head and saw Cui Jiangjing arriving with a couple of his rowdy friends.
He appeared surprised as he looked at the two of them, explaining, “I had some business over here and just happened to pass by. I saw some commotion inside. Siyuan, what are you doing?”
