Chapter 1270 - 1269: Her Majesty Strikes the Scumbag (Part 1)

"Get out of my sight!"

Xia Shi forcefully pushed the person away.

Her tear-blurred eyes were full of anger.

Suddenly, she turned around and bolted out the door.

Inside the café, everyone exchanged glances, not understanding what had happened. A couple’s quarrel?

She ran out without a mask, and passersby, upon seeing her face, started pointing and whispering.

She was already unattractive, and now with tears streaming down her face, she drew even more attention.

But Xia Shi didn’t care. After all, her face was ruined, and no one knew who she was.

Zhai En followed behind her, aware of how heartbroken she was, not daring to disturb her.

He only dared to follow silently.

A very bizarre scene.

This looked unmistakably like a couple’s quarrel.

However, the woman in front looked even more fearsome than a demoness, while the man behind was exceedingly handsome.

It was hard to relate these two people together.

Beauty and the Beast.

Xia Shi was walking dejectedly when suddenly, she heard a woman’s voice behind her trying to chat up.

"Hey handsome, what’s so good about that ugly hag? Here’s my contact info... ah!"

Before the woman could finish, she was effortlessly knocked to the ground by Zhai En with one hand.

Xia Shi’s body stiffened for a moment, but she continued walking forward.

Zhai En quickly caught up, "Shi Shi, I don’t know her, she just chatted me up on the street."

His face was anxious, afraid she might misunderstand.

Xia Shi said nothing and continued to walk forward, though her heart was bleeding at that moment.

Yes, she had become an ugly duckling.

While he remained dazzlingly handsome, attracting countless people like moths to a flame just walking on the street.

They no longer belonged to the same world.

Seeing her unresponsive, Zhai En became more anxious. He genuinely didn’t know that woman. It wasn’t his fault for being so handsome!

Xia Shi was walking when her phone rang; it was a call from Xia Weibao.

She took a deep breath, coughed a few times to make her voice sound normal.

"Sister Xia Shi, where are you? Why haven’t you returned to the company yet?"

In the call came Xia Weibao’s cheerful voice, oddly soothing Xia Shi’s tortured mood.

Unconsciously, she had started considering Xia Weibao like a little sister.

"Just handling something, I’m on my way back. Anything up?"

"Oh, nothing. I’ve seen the ’Intrigue Within’ official Weibo—Sister Xia Shi, did you get Director Zhai En to get this opportunity?"

"Yes, I’m heading back to the office now. We can talk more when I get there."

"I’ll take you back." Knowing she was leaving, Zhai En didn’t dare insist any further.

Her mood was visibly bad now.

Xia Shi didn’t speak. With his persistence, there was no point in refusing.

Not wanting anyone at Hongtu to know about her relationship with Zhai En, she got off near the company.

She took out a mirror to check her eyes, which were a bit swollen, clearly from crying.

Xia Shi didn’t go straight up, but instead put on a mask and wandered around nearby.

Only when her eyes returned to normal did she go back to the company.

In Xia Weibao’s lounge, Leng Yan found it bothersome, so it was never renovated. Every time, he went straight to the president’s office, effectively making it a four-person exclusive lounge.

When Xia Shi arrived, she saw Xia Weibao and Leng Yan with their heads together, whispering about something and occasionally bursting into laughter.

Xu Jiayang sat behind the desk, holding a mouse, continually clicking on something on the computer.

Xia Shi shook her head. She never understood whether this company belonged to Xu Jiayang or Leng Yan.

Each time, it was Xu Jiayang handling official business while Leng Yan played around.
