Chapter 466 - 468: Want to Get Slapped Again?
Suddenly, he rushed forward, raised his hand sharply, and slapped Jiang Xue’s face viciously.Jiang Xue was caught off guard and stumbled towards the nearby counter.
The clerks were all terrified and quickly dodged.
Liang Shaochen obviously didn’t expect Nangong Zhongli to act so quickly. As Nangong Zhongli rushed up to hit again, Liang Shaochen caught her with one hand and shoved her away forcefully.
Xia Xiaonuan stepped forward to steady the staggering Nangong Zhongli, preventing her from falling.
Liang Shaochen helped Jiang Xue up, his brows furrowing with pain and pity: "Xue’er, are you okay?"
Jiang Xue covered her face and looked tearfully at Shaochen: "Shaochen, I’m fine... It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have come before you..."
Liang Shaochen trembled all over: "Qiqi, don’t say that!"
He turned around and yelled at Nangong Zhongli: "Nangong Zhongli, are you crazy?!"
"I’m not crazy, you are!" Nangong Zhongli stepped forward, gritting her teeth, "Do you even know what kind of person she is, treating her like a treasure?"
As she spoke, she walked up to Jiang Xue, looking down at her: "Jiang Xue, let me warn you, I’ve refrained from touching you out of respect for Shaochen. He’s been looking for you for so many years; I didn’t want to break his heart!
But don’t get carried away. If you push me too far, you’ll regret it!"
Jiang Xue’s eyes blazed with anger, yet she cried with a grievance: "I’m sorry, Zhongli... I didn’t mean anything by it. If you want to blame someone, blame me, not Shaochen..."
Liang Shaochen walked up to Nangong Zhongli, glaring at her fiercely, and through gritted teeth said: "Nangong Zhongli, I warn you too, if you dare to harm Qiqi even a bit, I won’t forgive you!"
Xia Xiaonuan stood aside, no longer able to watch.
"Liang Shaochen, can you only see a person with your eyes? Can’t you use your heart to see?"
Liang Shaochen was taken aback by the voice, and something flashed in his mind, but he couldn’t recall what it was.
He simply looked at Xia Xiaonuan coldly. Remembering everything she did in the past and her present alliance with Zhongli, he grew more impatient and said through gritted teeth: "Enough! Mrs. Nangong, this is between Zamong, Zhongli, and Xue’er. It’s not your place to interfere!"
Xia Xiaonuan’s face changed, and she couldn’t help but take a step back.
An outsider...
So, to him, she was just an outsider...
Nangong Zhongli steadied her, holding her shoulder with concern and gritted her teeth: "Liang Shaochen, how can you speak to Xiaonuan like this? She’s only acting in good faith! How did you become like this? You weren’t like this before!"
Liang Shaochen closed his eyes slightly: "Zhongli, it’s for you to discern right from wrong. That’s enough for today."
He finished speaking and then turned to Jiang Xue: "Let’s go..."
After taking a few steps, he stopped again and took out a check, writing a string of numbers on it.
Just as he was about to turn back, Jiang Xue grabbed the check from his hand: "Shaochen, let me do it."
Jiang Xue took the check and walked up to Xia Xiaonuan and Nangong Zhongli.
"This is for the perfume. This amount should be enough to buy several bottles, right?" Jiang Xue said smugly, shoving the check into Xia Xiaonuan’s hand.
Xia Xiaonuan held the check, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Nangong Zhongli looked at her, and with restraint said: "Get out of my sight now, or do you want another slap?"
The dread in Jiang Xue’s eyes flitted by briefly, but then she lifted her chin: "We’re leaving now, Shaochen."
