Sheng Jiu sneered and flung He Yao’s hand away. He Yao stumbled backward and almost lost her balance.

“Other men don’t hit women, but I have no scruples. I hit women!” Jiu Sheng glared at He Yao and warned her.

“How dare you hit me?” He Yao did not believe Sheng Jiu’s words. She was just a little fool. As she spoke, she raised her hand to hit Sheng Jiu again. If she did not slap Sheng Jiu today, it would be difficult to vent the hatred in her heart!

Slap! Sheng Jiu moved quickly. Just as He Yao raised her hand, Sheng Jiu’s palm had already landed heavily on her face. Her movements were fierce and fast, and the crisp sound reverberated throughout the corridor, making He Yao’s head buzz.

“Sheng Jiu, how dare you hit me!” He Yao covered her face and looked at Sheng Jiu with tears in her eyes. She had lived for 18 years and had always been the He family’s treasure. She was the beloved daughter of the He family. When had she ever been treated like this? She had actually been hit by a fool like Sheng Jiu!

“You attacked me first. I’m just returning an eye for an eye.” Sheng Jiu narrowed her eyes, which flickered with a fierce and sinister light.

His gaze made He Yao’s heart skip a beat. Since when did that idiot Sheng Jiu have such a terrifying gaze? She must be seeing things.

He Yao took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in her heart. “Sheng Jiu, how dare you hit me? I’ll beat you to death!”

He Yao was an unreasonable young lady. After saying that, she raised her hand and was about to hit Sheng Jiu. This time, Sheng Jiu did not dodge or stop her. Instead, he quietly waited for He Yao’s slap to land. However, He Yao’s slap could not land. Shen Xiuwen, who had just gone upstairs, stopped her.

Shen Xiuwen held a stick and used it to stop He Yao’s slap.

“Who! Who dares to stop me… Fourth Brother…” He Yao turned around and saw that the person who stopped her was Shen Xiuwen. She immediately cowered and looked at Shen Xiuwen with an aggrieved expression.

“He Yao, who gave you the courage to attack someon in Shen family compound?” Shen Xiuwen threw the stick aside.

“Fourth Brother, Sheng Jiu hit me first!” He Yao felt wronged. She tried to throw herself at Shen Xiuwen, but he avoided her in disgust.

“Fourth Brother, Sheng Jiu hit me so hard that it hurts. Look at my swollen face.” He Yao quickly put her red and swollen face in front of Shen Xiuwen.

Shen Xiuwen didn’t even bother to look at her. Instead, he looked past He Yao, aiming his eyes at the expressionless Sheng Jiu. “Sheng Jiu is a fool. If you don’t provoke him, will he hit you?” Shen Xiuwen’s tone was cold, but his words were protective of Sheng Jiu.

He Yao did not expect Shen Xiuwen to side with Sheng Jiu, and the resentment in her heart intensified. Sheng Jiu was indeed a male vixen. Even Fourth Brother was protecting her!

“Fourth Brother, Sheng Jiu…” He Yao wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Shen Xiuwen. “Sheng Jiu is just a fool. Why are you arguing with him? If your face hurts, go down and put some ice on it.” Then, he walked up to Sheng Jiu. “Did you hit someone?”

Sheng Jiu replied, “Yes.”

“Show me your hand.” Shen Xiuwen’s lips curled up slightly. The Little Fool was really a little fool. She didn’t even know how to lie. She just admitted it directly after hitting someone.

Sheng Jiu didn’t know what Shen Xiuwen wanted to do, but he still obediently opened her palm in front of him. Her palm was red. It seemed that she had used a lot of strength when she hit her.

“He Yao is a girl. Why did you hit her as a boy?” Shen Xiuwen asked casually.

“He Yao wanted to hit me first. If you don’t believe me, you can look at the surveillance cameras.” Sheng Jiu pointed at the surveillance cameras above the corridor.

“I’ll look at the surveillance cameras. If you lied, I’ll punish you.” Shen Xiuwen’s eyes darkened as he stared at Sheng Jiu’s face thoughtfully. He wanted to find something on her face. She even knew that there were surveillance cameras. This Little Fool might not be that stupid.

After returning to the Sheng family compund, Sheng Jiu checked on Cheng Xinkai in her room. After Cheng Xinkai killed their family of three, he still dared to deal with the Qiao family’s funeral as Qiao Xi’s fiancé. Then, he smoothly took over the assets under the Qiao family’s name and said righteously that he would help the Qiao family pay off the related debts. Cheng Xinkai really planned to take over. Just as Sheng Jiu was about to check Cheng Xinkai’s recent schedule, there was a knock on the door and a deafening roar outside. “Sheng Jiu, open the door!”

Sheng Jiu turned off the cell phone interface and opened the door to see her cousin standing outside. “Cousin, what’s the matter?”
