Chapter 1717: Courage (2)

Just then, a sharp scream suddenly rang out beside them.

Zhou Yun and the others turned their heads in surprise.

About three meters away, a woman in a black evening gown showed a startled look on her face, staring in disbelief at the man standing behind her.

The shock on her face suddenly turned into furious anger; she raised her hand and slapped the man behind her across the face.

A loud, resounding slap.

All around, people sucked in a sharp breath.

Zhou Yun was stunned too, looking at them in some bewilderment.

Suddenly, at that very moment, a man in a wine-red suit rushed forward, and actually landed another slap on the woman’s face. He pointed at her and started cursing her viciously, ranting in Korean; Zhou Yun couldn’t understand a word.

But judging from the expressions of the people around, it was probably all extremely insulting.

The woman who had just slapped someone and then been slapped herself now had reddened eyes, and tears fell one after another like a string of beads.

The young man who had taken her slap had anger flashing across his face as well.

He glared viciously at the woman and shouted abuse at her.

Even though Zhou Yun couldn’t understand Korean, she knew it definitely wasn’t anything pleasant.

“What on earth is going on?” Zhou Yun asked in astonishment.

Kim Bingde’s face was full of rage. “It’s an absolute disgrace.”

Zhou Yun was at a loss, startled by the fury in Kim Bingde’s voice.

Yet no one explained to her what exactly had happened.

A man who looked like an agent ran over, pulled the woman behind him, and kept bowing over and over—clearly apologizing to them.

His posture was utterly servile.

The two furious men, faces full of arrogant superiority, still refused to let it go and kept cursing.

Zhou Yun asked, “Director, what exactly happened?”

Kim Bingde said with utter contempt, “That Lee ZhenTai from Kangtai Group was groping that Actress. She slapped him, and now they’re forcing that Actress to apologize.”

As soon as Zhou Yun heard this, fury flared up inside her.

As a woman herself, Zhou Yun felt this kind of thing with particular intensity.

Before she became famous and popular, she had been through the exact same kind of situation, so Zhou Yun loathed this sort of thing from the bottom of her heart.

What she hadn’t expected was that this man called Lee ZhenTai would actually dare force that Actress to apologize.

What the hell is he?!

For an instant, Zhou Yun almost rushed over to point at Lee ZhenTai and curse him out.

But just as she lifted her foot, something seemed to hold her back.

Zhou Yun realized, bitterly, that she was hesitating.

If it were her at a younger age, would she have acted on impulse? Would she have hesitated?

Zhou Yun saw Jin Zhulin.

She was holding one arm tightly across her chest, her expression grim.

Lee ZhenTai cursed and cursed, then suddenly raised his hand and smacked the Actress on the head.

His words were vicious.

At that moment, a small figure suddenly rushed forward without the slightest hesitation.

It was Ning Yao.

Ning Yao strode straight up, face hard, eyes blazing, and shoved Lee ZhenTai away. She pointed at him, eyes wide, and shouted in Chinese, “Try laying a hand on her again!”

Zhou Yun jumped in fright.

But the second Ning Yao rushed out, Zhou Yun herself bolted forward without even thinking.

Before she could process it, she was already standing side by side with Ning Yao.

Lee ZhenTai stared in surprise at the two women who had suddenly appeared.

Of course he knew who they were.

The most famous, hottest, and also the brightest Actresses from China tonight.

Yet maybe he was just too used to swaggering and throwing his weight around, because even facing the two of them, his arrogance didn’t dim in the slightest.

He shouted in English, “Mind your own business, you two! Chinese shouldn’t meddle in Korean affairs!”

Zhou Yun looked at him coldly. “Men like you with no morals deserve to be taken down by everyone.”

Lee ZhenTai let out a mocking laugh and snarled, “Who the hell do you think you are? Get the fuck out of my sight! Bitch!”

Zhou Yun raised her hand and slapped Lee ZhenTai across the face.

“Try cursing one more time and see what happens!”

Lee ZhenTai stared wide-eyed at Zhou Yun, as if he couldn’t believe it.

Tonight, this was already the second slap he’d taken.

The man next to Lee ZhenTai chimed in, cursing at Zhou Yun on his behalf: “Are you crazy? This man is Lee ZhenTai, Lee ZhenTai of Taikang Group!”

Zhou Yun’s English was fluent enough to be lethal in an argument. She rolled her eyes and snapped, “I don’t care if he’s Lee ZhenTai or Zhang ZhenTai—he’d better not fucking throw his weight around in front of me. I dare anyone to try it.”
