Chapter 706: Why Do Women Make Things Difficult for Other Women?

Jiang Xuan had never washed anyone's feet before, and her technique was terribly clumsy…

Jiang Xuan's fingertips stiff, she rubbed Su Monong's feet haphazardly, the pressure alternating between light and heavy.

Before long, Jiang Xuan, having pressed too hard, accidentally hit a spot on Su Monong's sole…

It hurt enough that Su Monong furrowed her brows.

"Hiss…" Su Monong gasped, her face instantly darkening.

Before Jiang Xuan could react, Su Monong raised her hand and swung it at Jiang Xuan's cheek!

With a "Smack…!" sound!

The sound of Su Monong's slap was even louder than the one Sun Weiwei had delivered earlier.

Another bright red palm print appeared on Jiang Xuan's cheek…

Jiang Xuan's cheeks were symmetrically swollen, the redness especially conspicuous.

"Useless thing!" Su Monong said in an icy tone, full of anger and reproach.

"You can't even wash feet, you're an idiot! I ask you, you've often assisted Sun Licheng in secret, plotting against me, haven't you? Don't think I don't know about those little tricks you've been pulling!"

Jiang Xuan shuddered all over from the blow, her body involuntarily shrinking back.

The fear in Jiang Xuan's eyes deepened, and her tears fell even more fiercely;.

Jiang Xuan quickly lowered her head, her voice choking as she apologized:

"I'm sorry, Director Su, I was wrong… I didn't, I never assisted General Manager Sun against you; I was just following his orders in handling company matters, I wouldn't dare do anything to disappoint you…"

"None?" Su Monong let out a cold laugh, her tone full of mockery and disbelief…

Su Monong raised her hand and delivered another slap to Jiang Xuan's face, the force undiminished.

"Still dare to make excuses? Don't think I haven't noticed—you and Lin Yuan, you're in contact, aren't you? Do you meet in private often?"

Those words struck like a thunderbolt, jolting Jiang Xuan's whole body.

The color drained from Jiang Xuan's face in an instant, leaving only utter panic…

Jiang Xuan hastily lifted her head, shaking it vigorously, her eyes full of urgency and terror, her voice trembling as she denied:

"No! Director Su, I have no contact with Director Lin whatsoever, never met him in private—you've misunderstood, truly misunderstood!"

Jiang Xuan's heart pounded nonstop, cold sweat beading her palms, fearing Su Monong wouldn't believe her…

After all, Jiang Xuan did indeed… have a few abnormal 'relationships' with Lin Yuan…

But Jiang Xuan dared not admit it; once she did, she would not only lose her job, but likely invite even worse humiliation.

Lin Yuan heard this and instantly widened his eyes, his face full of astonishment.

Lin Yuan instinctively wanted to speak up in his defense, but Su Monong's icy glare shot him down.

He could only swallow his words, his heart filled with helplessness and anxiety—

He never expected Su Monong to suddenly bring this up.

Sun Weiwei also stopped what she was doing, lifted her eyes to Jiang Xuan, her gaze full of warning…

Jiang Xuan felt creeped out by the stare, and could only shake her head more urgently, repeatedly insisting she had no connection with Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan looked at the stalemate before him, truly unable to stay silent any longer…

Lin Yuan hurriedly spoke up in his defense:

"Su Monong, don't frame an innocent person—I and Secretary Jiang really have no private contact; we're just ordinary coworkers, occasionally running into each other at the office and exchanging a few words!"

As he spoke, he unconsciously glanced at Jiang Xuan.

"Oh? You both deny it?" Su Monong snorted, then suddenly rose to her feet.

Su Monong strode up to Jiang Xuan and grabbed her collar with great force.

Su Monong, hauling Jiang Xuan forcefully to stand before her…

Su Monong's eyes were icy and piercing, the corner of her mouth curling into a mocking smile,

"No relation? Huh, still refusing to admit it? The way you just looked at Lin Yuan—that ambiguous vibe—do you really think I didn't notice? Do you think I'm blind?"

Jiang Xuan's neck ached from being yanked, her body trembling uncontrollably, the fear in her eyes intensifying.

Jiang Xuan's tears fell even harder, yet she still shook her head desperately, her voice choking:

"Director Su, I didn't, I really didn't… I was just scared earlier, there was no other meaning—you truly misunderstood…"

"A misunderstanding?" Su Monong let out a cold laugh, the chill in her eyes deepening.

Su Monong's tone… was full of unyielding authority,

"Since you won't admit it, don't blame me for being harsh. Drink the foot-washing water beside your feet!"

Those words were like a bolt from the blue, startling Jiang Xuan so much her whole body stiffened, the color draining completely from her face, leaving only utter humiliation and despair.

Jiang Xuan instinctively glanced at the foot-washing basin beside her feet, the thought of drinking it making her shake her head quickly, her voice tinged with pleading:

"Director Su, please don't… I can't swallow it, I beg you—I really have no contact with Director Lin, please let me go…"

"What? You won't drink?" Su Monong's eyes narrowed, her tone growing even colder.

Seeing this, Sun Weiwei from the side immediately rose, hurried over to Jiang Xuan, and raised her hand to slap her again…

Sun Weiwei's slap was heavy, throwing Jiang Xuan's head to the side, even drawing a thread of blood from the corner of her mouth.

"Jiang Xuan, are you looking for death?" Sun Weiwei's tone was harsh, full of stern rebuke,

"Sister Su told you to drink, so drink—what's all this nonsense? Hurry up and drink, don't force the sister to act!"

Sun Weiwei's eyes were full of warning, as if any further refusal from Jiang Xuan would invite even more dreadful punishment.

Jiang Xuan covered her face, tears flooding out, the humiliation in her heart reaching its peak—

This was utter humiliation, worse than being beaten and scolded.

Jiang Xuan clenched her teeth, staring at the foot-washing basin beside her feet, her whole body trembling, yet she could not bring herself to drink it…

That despair and helplessness nearly drowned her.

Lin Yuan watched Jiang Xuan being forced like this, and he could no longer bear to watch.,.

Lin Yuan quickly stood up, stepped forward, grabbed Su Monong's wrist, and tried to stop her:

"Director Su, you're going too far! Secretary Jiang is just an ordinary employee, and you're forcing her like this—it's too much! If you have something to say, come at me, don't make things difficult for her!"

Su Monong violently shook off Lin Yuan's hand, turned around, and stared at him coldly.

Su Monong's mouth corner……twitched with a cold sneer, her voice full of contempt and anger:

"You damn man, still saying you have nothing to do with Jiang Xuan? How come, after just a little while, you're already feeling sorry for her?"

Su Monong stepped forward, closing in on Lin Yuan.

Su Monong's eyes were sharp as a blade, and she said word by word:

"Since you care so much about her, then this foot-washing water—will you drink it?"

Lin Yuan was……choked by Su Monong's words and couldn't speak.

Lin Yuan's face was full of embarrassment and anger, yet he was helpless.

He looked at Su Monong's icy gaze, then glanced at Jiang Xuan beside him, crying with tears like pear blossoms, her heart full of humiliation……

Lin Yuan's heart was full of helplessness, but he didn't know what to do——

He neither wanted Jiang Xuan to suffer such humiliation nor dared to actually drink the foot-washing water.

The private room instantly fell into dead silence, leaving only Jiang Xuan's suppressed sobs,.

The air was filled with the atmosphere of humiliation, embarrassment, and tension……

Everyone had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere was oppressive to the extreme.

Sun Weiwei stood aside, her eyes cold as she looked at Jiang Xuan, ready at any moment to obey Su Monong's orders;

Ning Xue's eyes were full of reluctance, yet she still dared not speak more;

Shen Nan Zhi's expression remained calm, merely glancing unintentionally at Lin Yuan, a flicker of complex emotion crossing her eyes.

After a long silence, Lin Yuan lifted his gaze to fix on Su Monong, his voice full of restrained anger and reproach:

"Su Monong, you've really gone too far! Secretary Jiang is just an ordinary employee—you've humiliated and scolded her, but that's not enough; you're forcing her to drink foot-washing water. How far do you intend to go before you'll stop?"

Su Monong was enraged by Lin Yuan's rebuke, her face instantly turning ashen, the coldness in her eyes almost freezing anyone.

Su Monong shouted angrily:

"Me going too far? I see you've grown wings, daring to meddle in my affairs!"

Saying this, Su Monong turned her head to look at Sun Weiwei, her tone an unquestionable command: "Weiwei, grab Jiang Xuan and don't let her move!"

Sun Weiwei dared not hesitate in the slightest, immediately stepping forward and seizing Jiang Xuan's arm with great force, pressing her down firmly so she could not struggle.

Jiang Xuan was already trembling all over, and after being held down by Sun Weiwei, she could not move at all^

Jiang Xuan could only twist her body desperately, her sobs growing more shrill.

Su Monong gave a cold laugh, bent over, and lifted the foot-washing basin beside Jiang Xuan's feet.

Su Monong walked up to Jiang Xuan, one hand pinching her jaw to force her mouth open, the other holding the foot-washing basin, about to pour it into her mouth:

"Since you won't drink it yourself, I'll make you drink it—I want to see if you still dare not to admit it!"

Jiang Xuan completely broke down, tears flooding out, her throat emitting desperate whimpers as she shook her head wildly……

But at this moment, Jiang Xuan was firmly held down by Sun Weiwei, leaving no room to dodge.

Such extreme humiliation and fear made Jiang Xuan's body spasm, almost causing her to faint.

Jiang Xuan kept crying out in her mouth:

"No! I don't want to drink! Please, Director Su, spare me……"

Watching Jiang Xuan's desperate breakdown, Lin Yuan's anger erupted completely, beyond endurance.

He suddenly pulled a slender silver needle from his pocket——

Before Su Monong could pour the foot-washing water……

Lin Yuan's figure flashed, he stepped forward quickly, and his fingertips^^^precisely pierced the silver needle into Su Monong's acupoint.

Su Monong^……felt her whole body stiffen instantly, unable to move,

Su Monong's foot-washing basin clanged "clang" as it fell to the ground, water splashing everywhere and splashing her skirt.

Su Monong stared in shock at her own stiff body, her eyes full of disbelief, unable to open her mouth, only able to emit a muffled angry grunt.

Lin Yuan slowly released his hand, gave Jiang Xuan a complex look, his heart full of guilt——

Jiang Xuan, after all, had been possessed by him, and was his woman.

He couldn't stand by and watch his woman&……being humiliated like this.

Whether it was Ning Xue, Shen Nan Zhi, or Jiang Xuan, even the obstinate and forceful Su Monong……they were all his women.

Lin Yuan……could absolutely not allow them to bully each other, and could never let his women suffer such utter disgrace.

Sun Weiwei, seeing this, was frightened and trembled all over, quickly releasing Jiang Xuan.

Sun Weiwei stood there, at a loss, looking at the immobile Su Monong, then at the icy-faced Lin Yuan, not daring to breathe.

Ning Xue also rose to her feet, her face full of shock, her eyes filled with disbelief……

Ning Xue had never seen Lin Yuan like this before.

Shen Nan Zhi's expression finally showed a flicker of fluctuation, a hint of surprise crossing her eyes, yet she still said nothing.

Su Monong's eyes burned with raging fury, her gaze sharp as a blade, fixed tightly on Lin Yuan, the anger in her eyes almost spilling over.

She was accustomed to controlling everything, accustomed to everyone obeying her……

But now, Lin Yuan actually used this method to interrupt her, seizing her control—this was absolutely unbearable for her.

After a moment, Su Monong finally could speak.

Su Monong's voice……became hoarse and grating from anger, as she shouted angrily at Lin Yuan:

"Lin Yuan! You damn thing, you damn man, you dead scumbag! You've got guts! You actually dared to lay a hand on me? Do you even know what you're doing?"

Su Monong's anger……almost burned away her reason.

In Su Monong's tone……there was nothing but threats and unwillingness:

「I tell you, you're doomed! I will fire you, leaving you no foothold in this city! I will make you pay a heavy price for what you've done today! 」

Lin Yuan looked at the furious Su Monong, there was not a trace of fear in his eyes, only coldness:

「I won't let you hurt Jiang Xuan, nor will I let you humiliate anyone like this again. Su Monong, you guys, can't you get along? Woman, why make things difficult for another woman? 」

Lin Yuan stared at Su Monong, his voice solemn.

「Director Su, if you really want to fire me, I have nothing to say, but I will absolutely not stand by and watch you bully my woman. 」

Jiang Xuan sat slumped on the ground, tears still flowing, yet she felt a bit more relieved……

The despair in her eyes……was gradually replaced by a hint of warmth.

Su Monong was so angry she was practically shouting, she continued to curse Lin Yuan! She threatened to kill Jiang Xuan.

The current Su Monong, after she fully seized power, she has completely become a tyrant.

Power truly can make a person act recklessly.

The present Su Monong is advancing down the path to becoming a female tyrant.

Lin Yuan looked at Su Monong's still arrogant demeanor, the chill in his eyes deepened……

Lin Yuan slowly bent over, leaned close to Su Monong, his tone icy:

「You can try. As long as you dare to move against me, dare to make things difficult for Jiang Xuan again, I don't mind keeping you immobilized like this until you figure it out. 」

Su Monong was shaken by Lin Yuan's gaze, a hint of panic rose in her heart for the first time.

She tried to move her body, but her whole body remained stiff, she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand, she could only stare fixedly at Lin Yuan.

The anger in Su Monong's eyes gradually gave way to unwillingness——

She was unwilling to just admit defeat like this, but at this moment she was restrained and had no strength to resist.

If this stalemate continues, the only one who will lose face is herself.

After a long silence, Su Monong finally loosened her mouth……

Su Monong's voice remained hoarse, but the previous arrogance was gone, carrying a hint of reluctant admission:

「I…… I won't fire you, and I won't make things difficult for Jiang Xuan anymore. Hurry up and pull out the Silver Needle, let me move! 」

Lin Yuan stared at her for a long time, confirmed she wasn't lying, then slowly reached out his hand.

Lin Yuan's fingertips……precisely grasped the Silver Needle, lightly pulled it out, removing the Silver Needle from Su Monong's acupoint.

As soon as the Silver Needle was pulled out, Su Monong instantly regained the ability to move.

Su Monong she moved her stiff body a bit, the unwillingness and anger in her eyes flared up again……

How could she really admit defeat? That was just a temporary measure; this score, she must settle.

Before Lin Yuan could react, Su Monong suddenly turned and rushed toward the storage cabinet in the corner of the private room……

Su Monong opened the cabinet door, inside lay a ribbon that had been prepared long ago, and also an electric baton.

Su Monong is used to controlling everything in her daily life; tonight, to discipline these sisters, she even prepared such things for the lady in advance.

「Lin Yuan, if you dare to lay a hand on me, today I will definitely give you and Jiang Xuan, that dog couple, a good lesson! 」

Su Monong gripped the electric baton,, quickly strode toward Lin Yuan!

Su Monong's eyes were sharp, her tone full of anger and determination for revenge.

She was really furious; Lin Yuan, for Jiang Xuan's sake, repeatedly resisted her, talked back to her, even laid hands on her, completely breaking her control……

This is something Su Monong absolutely cannot tolerate.

Lin Yuan saw this, his patience at the bottom of his eyes was completely exhausted, he was furious——

He didn't expect Su Monong to be so untrustworthy, turning face right after pretending to yield.

Before Su Monong could rush to him, Lin Yuan's body flickered, he stepped forward again……

Lin Yuan's fingertips……precisely pressed on Su Monong's acupoint……

Su Monong's body, which had just regained the ability to move, instantly stiffened again……

Su Monong's electric baton made a 'pa-da' sound as it fell to the ground……

Su Monong's eyes were filled with disbelief.

「Su Monong, you're beyond help! 」 Lin Yuan's tone was full of anger……

He reached out%……grabbed Su Monong's arm with great force, directly dragging her to the side of the table, and shoved her onto the smooth table,

Su Monong wore a tight-fitting skirt, her hip line especially prominent……

At this moment she was pressed onto the table, her whole body stiff, her eyes full of panic and anger, yet she couldn't move.

Lin Yuan clenched his fist, raised his hand……and came down hard on Su Monong's buttocks……

Pa!" with a sound, the crisp noise……exploded in the silent private room, especially piercing.

Su Monong trembled all over, the pain made her suck in a breath of cold air……

The anger in Su Monong's eyes……was instantly replaced by intense pain; she subconsciously wanted to struggle, but was held by the acupoint, she didn't even have the strength to twist her body, she could only let out a muffled groan of pain.

「I made you go back on your word! 」 Lin Yuan's tone icy and fierce, he raised his hand and delivered another slap, the force undiminished,

「I made you humiliate others at will! 」

「I made your desire to control explode, even daring to deceive me! 」

One after another reprimand……accompanied by the crisp slap sounds, echoed in the private room……

Each of Lin Yuan's blows……made Su Monong's whole body tremble, her buttocks quickly showed a faint red mark.

The few people beside them were completely stunned……

Sun Weiwei was frightened, her whole body tensed, she quickly lowered her head, hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, she didn't even dare to breathe, her eyes full of fear——

She had never seen Lin Yuan this furious before, and never imagined he would dare to treat Su Monong this way.

Ning Xue's pretty face flushed red; she instinctively turned her head away, yet couldn't help stealing a glance toward the dining table, her eyes full of embarrassment and disbelief, cold sweat beading on her palms.

Shen Nan Zhi's expression finally showed a noticeable shift; she slightly furrowed her brows, her gaze falling on Lin Yuan and Su Monong…… a flash of complex emotion crossed her eyes—surprise and realization—but she still did not rise to stop them, merely sitting silently to the side, watching everything before her in silence.

Jiang Xuan then slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the scene before her……

Su Monong was beaten until her whole body went numb; the proud she…… had never suffered such humiliation……

At first, Su Monong was still gritting her teeth and holding on, her mouth continuously cursing:

"Lin Yuan! You dare hit me! I won't let you off! I will definitely expel you!"

But as Lin Yuan's slap after slap rained down……

Su Monong's buttocks, intense pain gradually spreading throughout her body, her angry shouts grew weaker……

Su Monong's tears…… spilled uncontrollably from her eyes, tracing down her cheeks, splashing onto the table, blooming into a small wet spot.

Su Monong's crying shifted from a stifled painful groan to gradually becoming a choked sob of grievance……

Su Monong's usual dominance and fierceness…… vanished completely, leaving only the fragility and resentment of being bullied.

Su Monong clenched her lips tightly, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably, the anger in her eyes drowned by tears, leaving only a fullness of grievance——

She had never, from childhood to adulthood, had anyone dare strike her like this, humiliate her—not even Lin Yuan, who had never laid a hand on her.

Lin Yuan watched her cry until she could barely catch her breath; his anger eased a little, yet he did not stop his actions……

Lin Yuan merely lessened his force a bit, and in front of everyone, he "educated" her word by word:

"Su Monong, I tell you, don't think that because you have power and influence you can act recklessly, or casually humiliate others!"

"Jiang Xuan is my woman; Ning Xue, Nan Zhi, and you too are all my women!"

Lin Yuan's voice was resonant and forceful, carrying an unquestionable authority,

"No matter how domineering you are, how much you like to control everything, you are not allowed to bully them anymore, nor to let them suffer even the slightest grievance! Women bullying women only makes people feel ridiculous and pathetic!"

"Today I will make you remember who is really in charge here, make you remember that you must not act recklessly anymore, nor go back on your word!"

Lin Yuan's words were full of warning; immediately afterward, Lin Yuan…… began a harsher lesson!

【PS: The upcoming lesson is not suitable for minors……】

【The upcoming lesson is truly how a man should discipline a woman!】
