Chapter 19: Threaten me? What a joke!

You... how could you treat me like this?

Tian Xinyu stared at Xiao Ming in disbelief; only after a long while did she come back to her senses from the shock.

She shouted hysterically, "Darling, he hit me, quickly get revenge for me."

Tian Xinyu wailed in despair; the man beside her heard it, rolled up his sleeves and immediately wanted to fight Xiao Ming.

Unfortunately, he didn't even get a chance to get close to Xiao Ming before being kicked away.

He fell straight in front of Tian Xinyu.

"Ah..." the man wailed in pain, not a shred of manliness.

Tian Xinyu was furious, her face almost twisted with anger, her eyes full of hatred staring at Wen Yuchun.

"Wen Yuchun, you, you're just asking for trouble."

Tian Xinyu saw the people around pointing and gossiping, feeling her face burn with pain.

Suddenly, she lunged at Xiao Ming like a madwoman.

"Who gave you the nerve to speak to my daughter like that?"

Xiao Ming, who can be warm or cold, has always found this Tian Xinyu's appearance to be constantly disparaging his precious daughter, treating him as mere decoration?

Before Tian Xinyu could even touch Xiao Ming, he suddenly slapped her, one slap after another.

Wen Jingrou, Wen Yuchun, and Lin Xiao Xiao just watched in shock as Xiao Ming slapped Tian Xinyu six times; the final slap sent Tian Yuxin flying, landing two meters away from him.

Afterwards, he reached out and asked Wen Yuchun for a wet wipe, then leisurely wiped his hands.

Does he think it's dirty?

Tian Xinyu came to her senses, covering her pig-like face from the beating, and burst into tears.

"This man, he hit me, this man hit me." Tian Xinyu threw a tantrum on the ground.

The passersby shopping around instantly gathered around.

"Heh, truly satisfying."

Wen Yuchun happily ran to her father's side, in good spirits saying, "Dad, that's domineering enough."

Then she looked at Tian Xinyu with a cold gaze: "Hmph, Tian Xinyu, you're too shameless; clearly you provoked us first, yet you have the nerve to play the victim here?"

"Wen Yuchun, you're dead meat, this is your dad, right? I tell you, I won't let this go; I'll make you suffer." Afterwards, Tian Xinyu started throwing a tantrum again.

The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger.

"Dad, what should we do?"

Seeing the crowd grow, Jingrou whispered, a little worried the situation might spiral out of control.

"Jingrou, don't worry." Xiao Ming said calmly to his daughter: "If you have the guts to treat my daughter like that, you must be able to bear the consequences. Threaten me? What a joke!"

Such a biased uncle, Lin Xiao Xiao found herself increasingly fascinated; this man, so charming, she fell for him again.

Tsk tsk tsk!

However you look at it, it's pleasing to the eye.

Simply love it to death.

Lin Xiao Xiao's heart thumped nonstop.

"What's going on?" Tian Xinyu's commotion alerted the security guards.

Soon four or five security guards arrived, looking displeased at the troublemaker Xiao Ming.

The management staff of Guomao Yudu were also alerted, came to the scene, briefly understood the situation, and said they would hand it over to the police.

Of course, the situation the management staff understood was the one Tian Xinyu described.

Everyone present looked at Xiao Ming with angry eyes.

"What a big man, actually daring to hit a woman? Not a real man." The Guomao Yudu management staff secretly cursed Xiao Ming in their hearts.

Today the boss came to inspect work at the mall, never expecting this man to cause such a scene.

Attracting such a crowd, isn't this deliberately making them slip up in front of the boss?

"This man hit me, call the police quickly, I need to sue him."

Tian Xinyu cried as if she had suffered a tremendous injustice.

"Stop pretending to be crazy here; yeah, my dad beat you, but you totally had it coming."

Wen Yuchun was furious, yet also worried things might spiral beyond repair, but she never wavered in defending her father's position.

Her stance seemed to say that no matter what storm awaited Xiao Ming, she would shield him.

"Wen Yuchun, I tell you, I will absolutely not let you off today." Tian Xinyu glared at Wen Yuchun while crying, vicious.

Tian Xinyu's tantrum-throwing skills were incredibly strong; soon the surroundings were packed tight.

There were shoppers and mall management staff.

Even the Guomao Yudu inspector, General Manager Zhao Dequan, and his subordinates who came with him were alerted.

After hearing Tian Yuxin's bitter complaint and understanding the whole incident, the management staff looked at Xiao Ming as if they could breathe fire.

Simply outrageous to the extreme.

In their Guomao Yudu mall, they actually dared to do something like a man hitting a woman.

"General Manager Zhao, this bastard is utterly outrageous, actually daring to hit someone in our Guomao Yudu mall; I will surely explain the situation to the officers and won't let him off lightly."

The manager beside him, fierce in demeanor, promised Zhao Dequan.

"Get the surveillance footage from the monitoring room, hand it to the police, tell the police we request strict handling of this bastard."

Other management staff also chimed in agreement.

At this moment, Zhao Dequan's face was dark as iron.

He rarely comes to check on subordinates' work; usually he sets high standards for them, and they seldom make mistakes.

Who would have thought that today, right before him, such a scene would unfold.

Dare to cause trouble on my turf—absolutely not allowed.

Before he could finish speaking, he glanced displeased at the troublemaker Xiao Ming, and suddenly froze.

Xiao Ming?

General Manager Xiao?

Zhao Dequan instantly felt his head buzzing.

Afterwards, he shifted his tone and ordered his subordinates: "Quickly destroy all the surveillance footage, no calling the police, and also throw out the woman who was beaten."

"What?" Several subordinates hearing General Manager Zhao's words were instantly dumbfounded.

But soon, something even more shocking happened.

The high-and-mighty General Manager Zhao suddenly checked his appearance in the nearby mirror, then curled the corners of his mouth and walked toward the troublemaker with a smile.

General Manager Xiao.

Zhao Dequan greeted Xiao Ming with a respectful expression.

"General Manager Zhao has arrived." Xiao Ming glanced up at him indifferently, speaking in a bland tone: "Sorry, I caused a bit of a joke on your turf; please be forgiving."

"It's serious, it's serious." Zhao Dequan hurriedly replied.

With a humble expression.

Based on what those few people just said, Xiao Ming was beating someone to protect a girl.

But how could he not know that Xiao Ming has a daughter?

When did he get such a rich young lady?

Zhao Dequan was completely bewildered.

Xiao Ming, that devil-like figure in the business world, acts swiftly and decisively, never showing mercy to anyone.

Who would have thought that this cold man could also have gentle moments.
