"Who bullied you? And even if someone did, isn't it your husband with his numerous tricks who plays you to death? That's the real bullying, isn't it?"
Nan Qingqing's close girlfriend, the youngest daughter of the upstart Meng Family, Meng Yi, couldn't help but speak out.
Her father had made a fortune in City A by riding the economic upswing two years ago, and the family had moved from City C, managing to squeeze into the circle of smaller wealthy families of City A.
Given that the Nan Family had an established branch to rely on in this circle, and Nan Qingqing herself had such a pleasant personality, she was more than happy to cozy up to her.
That's why she looked down on Nan Yu the most and detested this imposter usurping the nest of others.
Nan Yu's face remained calm, not even a hint of annoyance, but her words were shocking.
"What? You sound so serious, one might think you've been the mistress and tried it with my husband yourself."
Meng Yi's face changed dramatically, as if stung at the tail, she denied, "I've never been a mistress!"
Then, realizing something was off, her face darkening with rage, she retorted, "Only dogs mess with the crippled, and it's only dead dogs like you who would do that sort of thing with a sick cripple!"
Slap!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed, and the surroundings quieted down.
Nan Yu looked at her with a cold smile and withdrew the hand she had slapped her with, "Miss Meng, if the Meng Family didn't teach you how to speak properly, I don't mind teaching you."
Stunned, Meng Yi looked at her then felt intense pain spreading across her right cheek, so painful that it made her cry.
"My face..."
She sobbed and turned around, seeking help from her boyfriend Luo Ji.
Luo Ji, who looked like a monkey and was somewhat older, felt as if he'd been slapped in the face by Nan Yu in front of everyone when he saw his girlfriend being hit.
He leaped up, grabbed an empty wine bottle, and charged toward Nan Yu's face.
"Damn it, dare to hit my girlfriend, you're looking for death!"
Nan Yu lightly lifted her eyelids and scoffed.
Bang!
With one kick, she sent Luo Ji flying, smashing the table of drinks where Nan Qingqing and the others sat to pieces.
For a moment, the whole place went silent, and Nan Yu became the center of everyone's attention.
Seeing this, Nan Qingqing stood up and accused, "Sister, Meng Yi was just worried about you and kindly asked you out of concern. How could you hit her?"
"And her boyfriend was just being protective of her, which is why he acted out. Why on earth did you go so far? You should hurry up and apologize to them!"
With teary eyes, Meng Yi ran to help Luo Ji, who was in a sorry state, caring for him, "Darling, are you all right?"
Luo Ji, with an aching back and a grimace, realized that so many people had seen what happened, his pride shattered, he glared at Meng Yi and complained, "Do I look all right to you? Aren't you going to hurry and have her come over here, kneel, and apologize to me!"
Meng Yi obediently turned back to Nan Yu, full of anger, "If it weren't because you're Qingqing's sister, I couldn't care less to even ask after you. Now, come over here and kneel to apologize to my boyfriend, and we might let this go. Otherwise, this isn't over between us."
Others also chimed in, pointing fingers at Nan Yu.
"Exactly, you've beaten both of them up like this, and if it weren't for Qingqing's sake, we wouldn't let you off the hook with just an apology."
"Nan Yu, this is already letting you off easy. If you don't properly apologize to Meng Yi and Luo Ji today, we guarantee you're going to regret it!"
Those close by took curious glances around.
Recognizing Meng Yi's arrogant and domineering face, along with a few familiar young masters known for being trouble in City A, all from families with significant backgrounds.
Then looking at Nan Yu's exceptionally beautiful yet unfamiliar face, and noting her outfit didn't look like someone with a background, they couldn't help but feel a bit of pity for her.
One couldn't help but advise Nan Yu, "Girl, you can't afford to offend them. Take my advice, kneel down and apologize."
