916 Begging for Mercy
But with so many people present, Cheng Songyang had to control his anger and maintain a composed demeanor. He even forced a smile and said in a gentle tone, “Cousin-in-law, we are all cultured and well-mannered people. Why make it so unpleasant? It’s all a misunderstanding. Let’s talk it through…”
“Slap!” Another crisp slap interrupted Cheng Songyang’s words, and Shen Hanxing smiled, saying, “I’m sorry, but I don’t think there is any misunderstanding between us.”
Ji Yan’s eyes flickered with amusement as he gently held Shen Hanxing’s delicate fingers in his palm and said in a warm voice, “Good.” His wife was never a spiteful person. It seemed like she naturally carried certain principles and boundaries within her. Sometimes, she pursued justice to the point of obstinacy, disdaining to play tricks. She walked upright in the world, relying on her own abilities without seeking shortcuts or using underhanded means in the dark. When faced with people she disliked, she either struck at the heart of the matter, just like dealing with the Lu Corporation, or confronted them directly and slapped them in the face. She would fight back with her own capabilities but rarely used hurtful words to damage others’ self-esteem.
Therefore, Ji Yan knew that Shen Hanxing was angry now. Of course, it was not because Bai Youyou had offended her or because Cheng Songyang was too annoying. It was because of him. This realization made Ji Yan’s heart feel like it was soaked in a honey jar, and his entire body was filled with sweetness.
Since childhood, Ji Yan had been educated by the family to be strong and powerful, to shoulder his responsibilities and carry the entire Ji Corporation and family. And now, there was a soft and delicate girl standing in front of him, delicately protecting and defending him, wanting to vent her anger for him. This feeling was too novel and too intoxicating.
Ji Yan himself didn’t know how gentle his eyes were at the moment, how pleasant his expression was, and how tender his voice sounded.
There was indeed a fire burning in Shen Hanxing’s heart. Thinking back to the scene when she first saw Ji Yan, thinking about the suffering he had endured, the fire in her heart burned even stronger! And the culprit behind all this was Cheng Songyang! She repeated Cheng Songyang’s name with an icy gaze, as if snow had fallen between her eyebrows. Since Cheng Songyang liked to use these sneaky methods, he should pay the price for his actions. She didn’t know if there were gods in this world or if there was karma, but she only knew that she would personally make anyone who dared to harm Ji Yan pay the price.
Cheng Songyang, who still did not know that he was being targeted by Shen Hanxing, was immersed in a frenzied rage. Seeing that Shen Hanxing was about to leave with Ji Yan, Cheng Songyang finally could not take it anymore. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word, “Stop!”
Shen Hanxing stopped in her tracks and did not move. She tilted her head slightly, revealing her beautiful side profile. With a smile in her eyes, she said softly, “Is there anything else Mr. Cheng wants to say? Or perhaps, has the spineless man finally found his courage?” She seemed curious, with a hint of innocence in her eyes, and smiled as she continued, “Or maybe Mr. Cheng wants to beg for mercy from me? Should I hear a couple of pleas?”
Ji Yan also looked at Cheng Songyang with indifference. His seemingly emotionless eyes seemed to see through everything.
Cheng Songyang, who was overwhelmed by anger, felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him. He clenched his fists in humiliation, knowing that he had done something stupid again. What could he do if he stopped Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing? This was the Ji Family. He did not have any advantage. With the current power of the Cheng family, there was no chance of winning against Ji Corporation. If he relied solely on force, he would have no chance of winning. Moreover, he had been planning in secret for so long. He couldn’t fail at the last step because of a moment of impulse.
Sooner or later, he would make Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing kneel in front of him and cry. Now, he could only endure it. Cheng Songyang gritted his teeth and lowered his head in humiliation. “I know that Cousin and Cousin-in-law have a misunderstanding about Youyou and me…”
“Can you two stop pretending? Always claiming there are misunderstandings. Why are there so many misunderstandings? Don’t you ever reflect on yourselves?” Shen Hanxing impatiently interrupted Cheng Songyang’s words. There were so many “misunderstandings”. She had heard this word so many times today that she almost didn’t recognize it anymore!
