Chapter 549: A Satisfying Beating

Seeing her stepmother being shameless as always, Wu Yueer was instantly enraged, like a hedgehog provoked, all her quills standing on end.

Just as she was about to strike back, she suddenly noticed Shen Yan walking over slowly.

Hmm?

Only then did Shen Yan notice the clearly visible slap mark on Wu Yueer's face, and his anger burned instantly as he asked, "Who hit you?"

While speaking, Shen Yan looked at Wu Xiaode and Luo Cuihua opposite them; the two felt a fierce, murderous aura rushing toward them, making their hearts turn cold.

That gaze, devoid of any emotion, was like looking at dead people.

"It's this crazy woman!" Wu Yueer pouted her small mouth and pointed her finger at Luo Cuihua.

Her expression was just like a child who had lost a fight and gone home to complain to their parents.

Lin Yang pinched the corner of his clothes with his fingers, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped aside.

"Who are you?" Luo Cuihua, feeling flustered by the gaze, opened her mouth with a thick, rustic accent.

It was exactly the same as Wu Yueer's.

Seeing that the other party was unscathed, Shen Yan knew Wu Yueer had suffered, so he said decisively, "Then why don't you pay it back double? What are you waiting for?"

Having received the order, how could Wu Yueer hold back any longer? She stepped forward and delivered a heavy slap.

"Smack!"

The force was so great it echoed throughout the entire milk tea shop, and even the people outside heard it.

Their eyes unconsciously burst with a brilliant, eye-catching light.

China never lacks people who love to watch a spectacle.

"???" Luo Cuihua's head tilted to one side from the momentum, her face full of confusion.

Was I just hit?

Luo Cuihua still couldn't quite believe that Wu Yueer, whom she had bullied since childhood, would one day dare to hit her.

However, before Luo Cuihua could react, Wu Yueer rewarded her with two more heavy slaps in succession.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye; no one had reacted in time.

The crowd was dumbfounded; although it felt satisfying to watch, they wondered if it was really okay to treat a mother like that.

Wu Xiaode finally came to his senses at this moment and waved his hand to discipline Wu Yueer, but Chen Zhen, who had just walked in, grabbed his hand and pressed his fingers into the bone.

With a sudden burst of force, he twisted it back.

"Ah! It hurts, it hurts, let go, let go!"

With irresistible force, the pain made cold sweat pour down Wu Xiaode's face as he looked at the suddenly appeared Chen Zhen in fear.

Shen Yan said to just restrain the person and not to use excessive force, so Chen Zhen reduced his strength.

Realizing the person before him was not to be trifled with, Wu Xiaode no longer dared to act up; he was the type to only bully those at home, so he endured the pain and asked Shen Yan, "What business is it of yours if I discipline my daughter? Who are you?"

"I am her friend, and her business is my business."

Just as Shen Yan finished speaking, Luo Cuihua, driven mad with rage, charged toward Wu Yueer.

She had never suffered such grievances in all her life.

Wu Yueer decisively kicked out, her advantage in leg length fully displayed at this moment; Luo Cuihua fell flat on her back, but unexpectedly, with bloodshot eyes, she seemed to have lost the ability to feel pain and lunged at Wu Yueer again regardless.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and break it up! Do you want the boss to get hurt before you're happy?" Shen Yan shouted at the shop assistants.

With so many people present, it was inconvenient for him to hit a woman in public.

The shop assistants woke up as if from a dream and rushed forward, using both hands and feet to pin Luo Cuihua down; Luo Cuihua was so angry her scalp felt like it was about to fly off, struggling and shouting, "Let go of me, you bunch of sons of bitches!"

"Wu Xiaode, are you even a man? Why aren't you coming over to help?"

Unfortunately, Wu Xiaode could barely save himself, let alone help her.

Shen Yan gave Wu Yueer a subtle look again; Wu Yueer grinned and went up to give her another round of beating, while Shen Yan stood there "persuading" them: "Oh! Stop hitting, something bad will happen if you keep hitting! How are you breaking up the fight? Don't just pull one person!"

The shop assistants immediately split two people off to make a show of stopping Wu Yueer, without using any real force.

After all, working under someone else's roof, it was clear who they should help.

As a result, Luo Cuihua remained in a state of being passively beaten, suffering more and more.

"Yue'er, stop quickly! Don't hit the face, what will you do if she's disfigured?"

"Don't pull her hair, you're almost pulling it all out."

"Good heavens, you can't pinch there, it might cause sagging."

Shen Yan kept persuading them from the side, but it seemed to have no effect; the onlookers almost laughed until they couldn't breathe—you damn well only use your mouth to persuade?

Dare to be any more fake?

To this, Shen Yan only wanted to say: what if I get accidentally hit?

Lin Yang stepped forward and whispered, "Is doing this really okay? After all, they are mother and daughter."

"Have you ever seen a biological mother and daughter fight like this?" Shen Yan replied casually.

"Ah?" Lin Yang's eyes widened, scanning back and forth between the two faces.

One was peerlessly beautiful, the other was plain-looking.

It really didn't look like it!

Lin Yang shook his head with a bitter smile.

From beginning to end, he felt he had never understood Wu Yueer; born into such a family, heaven knows how much she had suffered since she was a child.

Having vented her anger, Wu Yueer finally took two steps back; looking at Luo Cuihua again, that originally fair cheek was now unrecognizable, swollen like a pig's head.

She was still there screaming crazily.

"You little bitch, you actually dare to hit me! Everyone come and see, look at how this ungrateful thing treats the person who raised her with her own hands."

The onlookers, unaware of the truth, pointed fingers at Wu Yueer, and even Shen Yan was blamed.

Wu Yueer retorted immediately: "Bullshit! You aren't my real mother, you've abused me since I was a child. Why did you run to Hangzhou this time? Isn't it for money? I'd rather feed money to a dog than give it to you. Does that piss you off?"

Wu Xiaode, restrained by Chen Zhen, cursed upon hearing this: "It is only natural for children to provide for their parents. How dare an unfilial daughter like you refuse, and even dare to raise a hand against me? I truly regret bringing you into this world; you are just like your mother, an ungrateful wretch."

The crowd suddenly realized the truth and began to look upon Wu Xiaode and his companion with contempt.

What kind of trash is this, demanding money from a student still in school? Their skin must be thick enough to stop a bullet.

Luo Cuihua turned a deaf ear to these accusations; even though she could not move, she still maintained an air of supreme arrogance.

"You little bitch, you beat me up like this, you must pay me one million, otherwise I will call the police and have you thrown in jail."

"Go ahead and call the police." Shen Yan curled his lips slightly, looking at her with disdain.

"To put it plainly, at most this counts as mutual combat, and you would be out after a few days of detention. However, your causing a scene in the shop today constitutes the act of picking quarrels and provoking trouble. According to Article 293 of the Criminal Law, you will be subject to Fixed-term Imprisonment of up to five years, criminal detention, or public surveillance. Weigh the consequences for yourself."

"Who are you trying to scare!" Luo Cuihua's expression changed, her lips trembling, yet she refused to admit defeat.

It was just that her tone was inevitably lacking confidence.

Lacking any education, how could she know whether what Shen Yan said was true or false?

Shen Yan indicated that whether she believed it or not was up to her, as he was a law student, and at worst they would see each other at the Police Station; Wu Yueer lifted her chin and snorted through her nose: "Did you hear that? Hurry up and get back to Shenyang, or else I'll make you regret it."
