Chapter 619: I Met Miss Shen for the First Time Today

Chapter 619: Chapter 619: I Met Miss Shen for the First Time Today

Shen Man’s expression darkened. She was the Princess of Lin City, a girl who had been the center of adoration her entire life. Ever since she could remember, she had been surrounded by nothing but flattery. And now, she was being offended by two low-life thugs!

Unforgivable!

If it were up to her usual temper, Shen Man would have slapped them right then and there!

However, wanting to leave a good impression on Cheng Yuan, Shen Man could only force herself to hold back her temper. She snorted coldly. "If you won’t switch, fine. Tingting, let’s go back!"

Ji Tingting shot the two a contemptuous glare. "You won’t even give up a seat. So petty. You deserve to be single forever."

Ji Tingting’s words infuriated the two young men. They shot to their feet, blocking the women’s path and looking at them with sinister grins.

"Hey, babes. You dare curse us to be single forever? You’re going to have to compensate us today! Each of you can be our girlfriend for a few days!"

Ji Tingting was terrified. She instinctively turned to Cheng Yuan for help. "Brother Cheng, I don’t want to be their girlfriend! Help us!"

After all, Ji Tingting was Cheng Qianqian’s classmate. Now that she had asked for his help, Cheng Yuan couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

Cheng Yuan said calmly, "Gentlemen, do me a favor."

The two men looked at Cheng Yuan with disdain. ’Just a pretty boy, and he dares to meddle in our business?’

"Do you a favor? And who the hell are you to be asking for one?"

"Pretty boy, I’d advise you to know your place. Don’t stick your nose in our business, or you might get hurt!"

The two ignored Cheng Yuan’s warning, grabbing the women’s wrists and looking at them with lecherous smiles.

"Hey beautiful, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. Come have some fun with us!"

Cheng Yuan’s gaze turned cold. He slowly got to his feet, planning to teach the two of them a small lesson.

Shen Man suddenly grew excited. ’Is this handsome guy going to be the hero who saves the damsel in distress?’

Unfortunately for Shen Man, someone else was faster than Cheng Yuan.

Just as the two thugs had stopped them, several burly young men with dark expressions stood up from the back of the train car and strode over.

The young man in the lead was handsome, with a perfect hairstyle and a well-tailored custom suit. He was clearly a young master from a wealthy family.

The young man’s name was Tang Jun, the young master of the Qingcheng Tang Family.

The Qingcheng Tang Family was one of the Shen Family’s most important business partners.

Ordinarily, Tang Jun couldn’t be bothered to meddle, but after recognizing Shen Man, he naturally wouldn’t stand by and do nothing.

"Are you two looking to die?! Let them go!"

Tang Jun and his men had an overwhelming presence. The two thugs were immediately intimidated, and they quickly let go, saying with fawning smiles, "A misunderstanding! Sir, it’s all a misunderstanding!"

"Yes, yes, yes, it’s all a misunderstanding! We were just joking around with the two lovely ladies! Please don’t mind us, sirs."

Ji Tingting held up her slightly red and swollen wrist, crying out, "A misunderstanding? You call this a misunderstanding? You nearly broke my wrist!"

Tang Jun quickly looked at Shen Man’s wrist and saw that hers was also red from being gripped!

In a flash,

Tang Jun’s face turned as black as ink!

"Cripple their hands!"

"Yes, sir!"

Several of the young men rushed forward and instantly subdued the two thugs.

CRACK.

The thugs’ wrists were broken, and they let out blood-curdling screams.

The surrounding passengers found this incredibly satisfying and cheered in unison.

"Well done, young man! Punks like that need to be punished severely!"

"Beautifully done! I haven’t seen a young man with such a strong sense of justice in a long time!"

Tang Jun looked at the two coldly. "Now scram! And don’t let me see you again!"

"Yes, yes, we’re going."

Clutching their broken hands, the two thugs fled the train car like beaten dogs.

An innocent and naive girl like Ji Tingting admired heroes above all else, and right now, Tang Jun was her hero.

Ji Tingting gazed adoringly at Tang Jun. "You’re so cool!"

Tang Jun grinned at Ji Tingting, then turned his head to look at Shen Man. "Manman, what a coincidence."

Shen Man gave a faint nod. "It is a bit of a coincidence. Thanks for your help just now."

After saying that, Shen Man ignored Tang Jun, pulled Ji Tingting to sit across from Cheng Yuan, and looked at him with a beaming smile. "Mr. Cheng, what brings you to Lin City? Are you also here to observe the Martial Dao Convention?"

Cheng Yuan nodded slightly.

Cheng Yuan’s outstanding presence and handsome looks put immense pressure on Tang Jun.

Tang Jun pretended to ask casually, "Manman, this gentleman seems unfamiliar. Is he one of us?"

Shen Man patiently explained, "Cheng Yuan is from Luocheng, so it’s normal that you don’t recognize him. He’s the older brother of one of Tingting’s classmates."

Tang Jun nodded, then turned to the middle-aged man next to Cheng Yuan and said in an amiable tone, "Sir, would you mind switching seats with me?"

Tang Jun’s bodyguards were too intimidating. How could the middle-aged man dare to say no?

"Yes, of course!"

Tang Jun sat down next to Cheng Yuan and extended his hand with a smile. "Mr. Cheng, hello. I’m Tang Jun, from the Qingcheng Tang Family."

"Cheng Yuan."

Cheng Yuan briefly shook Tang Jun’s hand and then fell silent, showing no desire to converse with him.

Tang Jun was a little annoyed. ’What’s with this guy’s attitude?’

’In Qingcheng, how many people are desperate to get on Young Master Tang’s good side?’

"Mr. Cheng, are you and Manman close? How did you two meet?"

Before Cheng Yuan could answer, Shen Man spoke up, displeased. "Tang Jun, are you running an interrogation? How I met Mr. Cheng is none of your business."

Tang Jun tried to suppress his displeasure. "Manman, you’re my fiancée. Isn’t it normal for me to be concerned about the men around you?"

’Fiancée?’

Ji Tingting’s expression changed. ’Doesn’t that mean I don’t have a chance?’

Shen Man snorted with disdain. "Tang Jun, I have never acknowledged the marriage alliance between the Shen and Tang families! This is the 21st century. I don’t accept arranged marriages, only love!"

Hearing this, Ji Tingting’s eyes lit up. ’Since Sister Man isn’t interested in Brother Tang, it wouldn’t be wrong for me to... right?’

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Cheng Yuan, wanting to avoid the hassle, interjected, "Mr. Tang, Miss Shen and I actually just met for the first time today. You’re overthinking things."

Hearing this, Tang Jun’s expression softened slightly. ’This Cheng fellow knows his place. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have minded teaching him a proper lesson!’

"Mr. Cheng, you look quite slim. I take it you don’t work out much? Why would you be interested in the Martial Dao Convention?"

Cheng Yuan said calmly, "Most men are interested in these kinds of testosterone-fueled sports."

Tang Jun smiled faintly. "Mr. Cheng, you’re half right. A man shouldn’t just be interested in the Martial Dao Convention, he should participate! To that end, I’ve trained hard in Sanda for five years! I even won first place in the Qingcheng Sanda competition!"

Cheng Yuan and Shen Man just raised their eyebrows slightly, clearly unimpressed by his first-place Sanda title.

Ji Tingting, however, looked at Tang Jun with a gaze of utter adoration. "Brother Tang, are you going to compete in the ring?"

Tang Jun raised his head with a hint of reserved pride. "That’s right! Not only am I going to get in the ring, I’m going to fight my way to the finals! And then, on that final stage, I’m going to propose to Manman!"
