Chapter 69 - It''s None of Your Business, Don''t Cry
“Release me, Jia Tianxia, you scoundrel! Let go of me!”
Shang Minjie wasn''t about to let Jia Tianxia off easily. There was a fierce tussle ensuing, and had it not been for Jia Tianxia''s superior strength, the situation could have taken a much darker turn.
“I''m talking about you!” Our boss is already furious, and yet you remain obstinate!”
This woman was truly intolerable. Shang Xiaojie, her own brother? The web of connections here was undeniably intricate.
What could the boss possibly be thinking? First marrying her sister, then getting involved with her brother? This was certainly unconventional!
Well, it was the boss''s private business, after all. As a lowly underling, why should I be so concerned?
“Do you think only Mu Sifa has a right to be angry? Do you think Shang Minjie can''t hold her own? Mu Sifa believes I''m an easy target, doesn''t he? Not only did he embarrass me, but he also poached my customers. I, Shang Minjie, won''t let this slide.”
They were in the midst of a standoff, yet they continued hurling insults.
“This delivery was arranged by Mr. Xie Jia himself. What does it have to do with our boss? You should quit it!” The boss appears genuinely furious.”
“What right do you have to stop me? Release him, and I''ll settle the score with Mu Sifa myself.” Kicks and punches, she''s a real fierce one.
Since Jia Tianxia couldn''t seem to persuade Shang Minjie either, he decided to escort her into his car and lock her in.
“What are you doing? Let me out.” She spun to face Jia Tianxia, delivering a p that left his face tingling.
Yet, he remained unprovoked, sighing instead. “I''ll drive you home; just sit tight! Unless you want to be stranded during my journey.”
Honestly, both the boss and this woman seemed to have a penchant for pping people. What sort of unholy habit was this?
“Why did you even offer to drive me home? Just stop the car now.” She swiftly reached for the steering wheel, almost colliding with a nearby store.
Jia Tianxia was seething. He deftly immobilized her, rendering her visionless.
“Honestly, I should have done this earlier. My ears feel so much cleaner now.”
He didn''t hold back on Shang Minjie due to her gender; his patience aligned with Mu Sifa''s.
China''s nightlife was already bustling, with a few curious onlookers outside the hospital, gossiping and pointing at them.
Luckily, the security guards intervened, defusing the situation. Nheless, it cast a lingering shadow over Shang Xiaojie, the judgment of others weighing on him.
“Mu Sifa, I''m so sorry.” Ye Zichen sobbed in Mu Sifa''s embrace, extending her apologies.
Shang Xiaojie med himself for Shang Minjie''s intrusion.
“Why apologize? It''s none of your concern.” Mu Sifa wiped away Shang Xiaojie''s tears, observing that his eyes had swollen from crying. His heart ached at the sight.
Had it not been for the presence of others and Mu Sifa''s desire to avoid escting the situation, he would have already taught Shang Minjie a lesson. However, the circumstances had been unfavorable for Shang Xiaojie, forcing him to let Shang Minjie go.
“Nheless, it''s my fault that your sister is upset with you. I''m to me.”
Shang Xiaojie''s eyes were red from weeping, yet his innate cuteness remained, evoking a deep desire to shield him from harm.
“I told you it''s not your fault, and I meant it. Stop crying and don''t dwell on it. If she ever dares to harm you again, give her a good p in return.” He nted a kiss on Shang Xiaojie''s eyes and imparted self-defense advice.
Shang Xiaojie sniffled and sobbed silently, choosing not to speak. He clung tightly, tugging at the heartstrings of those around him.
