Chapter 43: Did You Not Bring Your Face Out Today?

Pan Ru snatched the dress from Shen Chengjing’s hands.

Shen Chengjing thought about it. She could choose her clothes again. There was no need to argue with such a person. It would lower her status.

“Jie’er, let’s go.” She held Liu Sijie’s hand. Her good friend wanted to struggle, but she held her back and shook her head gently.

Liu Sijie could not swallow this insult. She did not want to fight over everything, but she disliked Pan Ru. These people had tortured Shen Chengjing enough, and now they were going far enough as to embarrass her in front of so many people. She was crossing the limit.

“Excuse me, why did you bring your face out today?”

At this moment, a man on the leather sofa closed the magazine he was holding and stepped forward with his long legs.

Everyone turned their heads towards the source of the sound. His facial features were extraordinarily handsome. His eyes under the slender eyebrows were as beautiful as peach blossoms.

The corner of his mouth was slightly raised as he looked at the crowd with a faint smile. His elegant and noble aura contrasted with his smile. Cold – that was the word that best suited him.

“Are you talking about me?”

Pan Ru couldn’t believe it. Only now did she realize that he was scolding her.

Outrageous. This man was too much.

“It seems that she is not senile yet. She can understand human language,” Wang Chenghao said softly, his lips pursed. His voice was as soft as flowing water, making people feel happy after hearing it.

The sisters behind Pan Ru looked at this man. He was wearing a limited-edition Italian suit with exquisite diamond buttons. This man’s worth couldn’t be estimated.

“You! Are you having an affair with this b*tch? I didn’t expect you to be able to seduce men everywhere. Like mother, like daughter,” Pan Ru mocked Shen Chengjing. She was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.

“She doesn’t amount to much, yet tries to pass off as a decent human. She has already disturbed my rest,” Wang Shenghao said in a deep voice, then turned to his assistant and instructed, “Remember to send her every word, including photos, to the media. I believe they would like this cheap spectacle very much.”

“Yes, sir,” the assistant said respectfully, taking notes in a decent manner.

Wang Chenghao turned around and strode away. After a moment, he turned back lazily and said, “Men, drag her out. Don’t let her disgrace this place.”

“Yes, sir.” On his command, a security guard immediately sent someone to throw Pan Ru out. The sisters behind Pan Ru quickly kept their distance from her.

“Shen Chengjing, you b*tch, you’ll get what’s coming to you,” she kept saying and pointing at Shen Chengjing as she was dragged out.

The surroundings instantly fell silent and returned to their original state.

The lady at the counter went back up and continued to sell the dress awkwardly and said, “Miss, I’m sorry to have affected your elegant mood just now. I wonder if you still want this dress?”

“Yes, help me pack it up,” she pursed her lips and said, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with complicated emotions.

Liu Sijie was chattering non-stop by herself. By the time the two of them finished eating ramen outside, it was already eight o’clock.

After the two of them said goodbyes, Shen Chengjing quietly took the bus back to the vicinity of Moh Park. After alighting from the bus, she looked at the intersection of Moh Park. A few police cars were flashing as they escorted a man away.

“Uncle.”

She stood rooted to the ground in a daze. Her first thought was that something had happened to him.

She had been feeling uneasy for the past two days. She had always felt that something was about to happen, but she had never expected her premonition to actually come true.

Shen Chengjing ran quietly across the lawn, then sprinted wildly on the long asphalt road. She picked up her phone and dialed his number. As expected, he did not pick up his phone.

“Uncle, you will definitely be fine, right?,” Her heart tightened. He had said that he would protect her.

She wanted to be strong, she wanted to protect the people around her, but how could he leave before that?
