Chapter 419: The Difference Between Humans and Beasts

"Let go." Yu Sichen was furious; she had not expected to encounter such a person at such a high-end occasion.

"Let go? That's not how it works. I advise you not to be ungrateful and refuse a toast only to be forced to drink. How many women usually line up to crawl into my bed? It's your honor that I've taken a fancy to you." Zhou Shuai wore a lecherous grin, completely disregarding the nature of the occasion.

Yu Sichen forcefully shook him off, then grabbed the red wine in her hand and splashed it onto his face. She said angrily, "Please mind the occasion, and please have some self-respect. Behavior like yours is only smearing your own family's name."

"Are you rebelling against me?" Zhou Shuai was enraged. He wiped the wine from his face and slapped Yu Sichen across the cheek.

Yu Sichen let out a cry of surprise, her body tipping to one side. Fortunately, she managed to steady herself against a nearby table, preventing herself from falling.

However, five bright red finger marks had already appeared on her fair cheek. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she endured, refusing to let herself cry.

"Bitch, I've seen plenty of women like you. Aren't you just a seller? You package yourself up to look high-class? You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink—do you believe that I'll take you right here in public today?" Zhou Shuai's lingering anger had not yet subsided.

"Zhou Shuai, what are you doing?" A cold voice came, and immediately after, a woman dressed in gorgeous attire walked over.

The woman had some beauty, and her attire and bearing were quite extraordinary. She wore a haughty expression on her face, clearly from an unusual background.

"Lili, didn't you have something to do and need to leave early?"

Seeing this woman, Zhou Shuai was startled. He hurriedly ran to her side and said, "Lili, don't misunderstand. It was this woman who insisted on crowding up to me. I only have you in my heart, so I took action to teach her a lesson."

"Is that really so?" The woman called Lili glanced coldly at Zhou Shuai. "Zhou Shuai, everything you have today was given to you by our Fang Family. You need to be clear about your own status. Without me, you are nothing."

"I know, Lili. I swear to heaven, I am sincere toward you." Zhou Shuai put on a solemn, oath-taking appearance. "I absolutely have not the slightest heart of betrayal toward you. You know me; apart from you, I have no female friends around me."

"I, Zhou Shuai, am just that kind of person. The person I've decided on is the one I'll walk through life with. I am your fiancé; you should believe me."

"Hmm, that's more like it." Fang Li looked at Zhou Shuai's solemn appearance and nodded with satisfaction. "But I also know that once a man has money, many shameless vixens will appear around him."

As Fang Li spoke, she looked at Yu Sichen, who, despite having been slapped, now appeared somewhat disheveled.

But it was precisely because of this that she appeared even more touching and pitiful, more capable of stirring a man's protective instincts, and her temperament and appearance were unique at the scene.

Even Fang Li, a woman herself, couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. She cursed, "Little bitch, were you the one seducing my man?"

"This miss, it was your husband who hit on me, and the requests he made were extremely excessive. I did not agree, so he resorted to violence." Yu Sichen took a deep breath, struggling to calm herself down.

Even though she felt very wronged and very angry, her upbringing did not allow her to make a scene like a shrew.

She communicated with the other party in a calm manner: "And your husband is very good at sweet-talking; I fear he has many women around him. I advise you: do not be deceived by his superficial appearance, because beneath the human skin he wears lies the face of a beast."

"Shut up! It was clearly you who leaned toward me. I said I already had a fiancée and that my Lili was enough for me. You were shamed into anger and cursed her, which is why I took action to teach you a lesson," Zhou Shuai said angrily.

"Then may I ask, Mr. Zhou, what is your status? How many companies are under your name? What is your net worth?" Yu Sichen asked coldly.

"I have several companies under my name and a net worth of one billion. Of course, this is inseparable from the help of my Lili, so in this life, I only have her in my heart," Zhou Shuai said proudly.

"Right, you have a net worth of one billion, but for today's banquet, with your assets, you aren't even qualified to enter, are you?" Yu Sichen proudly raised her head, the aura radiating from her making her exceptionally eye-catching.

"Among everyone present, there are plenty of people who are richer than you, more handsome than you, and who don't need to live off a woman, relying instead on their own families or their own abilities to join the elite. Why would I shamelessly lean toward you?"

"You..." Zhou Shuai's expression changed drastically. The aura Yu Sichen radiated was the kind possessed only by daughters of wealthy families.

Moreover, she was confident, and her every word struck the vital point. She had actually made Zhou Shuai feel a trace of inferiority.

Feeling the same way was Fang Li. She considered herself to have a good background and, in the eyes of others, she was a princess. But in front of Yu Sichen, she actually felt a sense of inferiority.

"Shut up! You woman, seducing my fiancé, you're shameless!" Fang Li shrieked. "Someone, slap her for me!"

At Fang Li's command, several bodyguards immediately swarmed over. The banquet's security was extremely strict; under normal circumstances, private bodyguards were not allowed inside.

Even if there were accompanying bodyguards, they usually waited outside. But the fact that she could bring people in showed that her status was not ordinary.

Two bodyguards held Yu Sichen from the left and right. Fang Li walked up, pointed at Yu Sichen, and cursed, "You're nothing more than a cheap slut who sells herself. Where do you get the confidence to challenge me?"

"Today I'll teach you a good lesson so you'll remember it, and see if you dare to seduce other people's men casually in the future."

As Fang Li spoke, she reached out her hand, intending to slap Yu Sichen.

Suddenly, with two *bang-bang* sounds, the two bodyguards holding Yu Sichen were knocked to the ground. Immediately after, a figure flew over, and with a *slap* sound, Fang Li shrieked as she was sent flying several meters by a slap from the newcomer.

She spat out a mouthful of broken teeth with a *pfft*. A purple-blue five-finger print appeared on one side of her face, and the print on her face swelled up rapidly.

"Lili, how are you? Are you alright?" Zhou Shuai was startled and hurriedly went up to support Fang Li.

"Who is it? Who hit me?" Fang Li shrieked hysterically. "Hurry and contact my uncle, hurry!"

"Yes, yes, I'll contact him immediately." Zhou Shuai hurriedly made a phone call.

The person who arrived was Chen Yu. He helped Yu Sichen up.

"Who did this?" Seeing the finger marks on half of Yu Sichen's face, he was furious.

Yu Sichen was the kind of girl with very good upbringing; Chen Yu believed she would absolutely never actively provoke others.

On the contrary, no matter how high-end the occasion, there would always be a few self-righteous idiots who thought they were superior to others, so Chen Yu had already roughly guessed the reason.

"I was hit on, and after I refused, the other party was shamed into anger and slapped me. He even told his fiancée that I was the one who seduced him." Yu Sichen covered her face, tears welling up in her eyes.

Although her parents were strict with her, they hoped she would marry into a wealthy family in the future, so they cherished her very much. She had never suffered such grievances before.

Especially since the other party humiliated her and then bit back at her, which made her feel even worse inside.

"Alright, I know. Leave it to me to handle." Chen Yu nodded. He turned to look at Fang Li and Zhou Shuai, a trace of coldness enveloping the two of them.

"You dare to hit my Lili? Do you know what her status is?" Zhou Shuai finished his call and roared at Chen Yu.

"That's not important. This slap on her face—did you hit it?" Chen Yu pointed at the finger marks on Yu Sichen's face.

"So what if I did? I've seen plenty of fake socialites like her, wandering around high-end occasions every day, isn't it just to hook a rich person?" Zhou Shuai sneered. "It's a pity she picked the wrong target today."

"I have Lili, and that's enough. Her tricks don't work on me."

"You mean to say, she actively leaned toward you?" Chen Yu stared at this guy, almost laughing from anger.

"That's right. I have the ability, I'm handsome, and I have money. Every day I see many women like this; they desperately crowd up to me, but I only have my Lili in my eyes," Zhou Shuai said righteously.

"Zhou Shuai, why are you wasting so much breath on him? He hit me, he actually dared to hit me! My teeth, my face—go beat him, beat him to death!" Fang Li was so angry she nearly exploded; she shrieked hysterically from the side.
