Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg

Chapter 450: Avenging You

"Xue’er, what’s wrong with you, are you okay?" Seeing Jiang Xue’s expression change, Mu Qiancheng immediately became worried.

"I’m fine!" Jiang Xue shook her head, then turned to Ming Lan and said, "Mrs. Jiang, you slapped me twenty times in total, right?"

"So what if I did?" Ming Lan replied smugly. She didn’t actually remember how many times she had slapped Jiang Xue.

However, she had thoroughly enjoyed it.

"Not so much!" Jiang Xue said calmly, and then walked towards Ming Lan. Before Ming Lan could react, Jiang Xue raised her hand and slapped her across the face.

"Smack, smack, smack..." The sound kept coming, leaving Ming Lan stunned as she stared blankly at Jiang Xue, unable to respond for quite a while.

Not just her, everyone else was also taken aback, taking a moment to react.

"You hit me?" Ming Lan glared at Jiang Xue, not expecting she’d slap her in front of so many people.

"Stop!" Gong Hai called out at that moment. Ming Lan was his woman, how could he allow someone to hit her?

However, Jiang Xue ignored them. She kept going until she had slapped Ming Lan as many times as Ming Lan had slapped her.

"I’ll fight you to the end!" Ming Lan was furious, lunging towards Jiang Xue. But Jiang Xue easily sidestepped, grabbing her wrists, and looked at her coldly, saying, "Mrs. Jiang, this mindset of yours is not good. This isn’t the old days, where the government sets fires but the people aren’t allowed to light their lamps."

"Jiang Xue, you bitch, how dare you hit me? I’ll kill you!" Ming Lan shouted, looking rather ridiculous with her face freshly slapped by Jiang Xue.

Gong Hai looked at Ming Lan in such a state, stunned for a moment before coming to her rescue and freeing her from Jiang Xue’s grasp.

"Jiang Xue, Ming Lan is mine. Did you get my permission to hit her?" Gong Hai glared at Jiang Xue, his voice as cold as ice.

"Mr. Gong, my wife did nothing wrong." Mu Qiancheng stepped forward, standing in front of Jiang Xue and said coldly, "You didn’t stop Ming Lan from hitting my wife, so what right do you have to speak now that my wife is avenging herself?"

"Mu Qiancheng, are you going to protect her?" Gong Hai turned his gaze to Mu Qiancheng and asked coldly.

"Of course, she’s my wife, who else would I protect if not her?" Mu Qiancheng replied firmly. Jiang Xue is his wife, and even if she were wrong, he would protect her. Besides, Jiang Xue did nothing wrong; Ming Lan and the others had crossed the line.

In truth, he thought his little wife was too kind-hearted. She should have doubled her retribution but merely returned what she received, already giving Gong Hai enough face.

"Really? Then let’s see if you can protect her." Gong Hai sneered, then instructed the bodyguards standing by, "Beat them, just leave them alive."

At his command, the bodyguards immediately started. Seeing this, Jiang Xue’s face darkened, and she was about to take action when she heard Mu Qiancheng say, "Xue’er, don’t move, just watch. See how your husband avenges you!"

Jiang Xue smiled and nodded, then stepped aside. Mu Qiancheng had already charged into the midst of the bodyguards, and in a few moves, had knocked down five or six of them.

This left Liu Yongfa and the others, who had wanted to join in, feeling a bit displeased. They looked at Mu Qiancheng and said, "Can’t you leave a couple for us?"
