Chapter 369 - Try touching her if you dare.

Zhao Ming was shocked when she heard Yu Kang's disgusting words. She was stunned when she heard him saying, ' I will f*ck you stripping you n.a.k.e.d.' 

Her body started to tremble as she started to remember the time of her high school when she was molested by her classmate and how everyone called her sl*t and wh*re when she didn't even do anything. 

She was the victim and yet everyone treated her like a loose character woman without knowing the truth behind the situation. 

That bastard also pretended to be righteous and wronged. He made her an sl*t saying she was the one who forced him and then when he rejected her saying that it is wrong, she injured him. 

All of this could be resolved if her father had helped her at that time. She wouldn't have to go through that humiliation if her father had believed her. 

But to her shock, when his father came to the principal room when he was called to school hearing the complaint, he slapped her on the face without listening to her side of the story. 

She was in utter disbelief when he slapped her. 

'So he believed them but not me?' 

Though she didn't have a good relationship with her father after her mother's death, she never expected something like this to happen. 

She never thought that her father would believe other words and would slap her in front of everyone. 

Not only he slapped her, his words still ringed in her ears, ' You're just like your Mother, an sl*t. I never thought that I made a bastard like you. You tainted the name of Xie Family.'

He said such disgusting words in the principal's office in front of all the other teachers. All students also swarmed outside the room to see the drama. 

Xie Ming in disbelief and looked at her father with disgust.' How can a father speak to his daughter like this?' 

She could not believe that her life could become miserable after her mother was gone. She had thought that even though she doesn't have a mother but at least she has a father. 

But that day, that last hope that she had also gone. She realized that with her mother gone, she has no one else who could take care of her, not even her father. 

Even though he wasn't dead but he was no less than that for her. Why would she still call a man like him a dad who cannot even protect her daughter in that kind of situation when she needed him most. 

He didn't believe her when something like this happened to her. 

She despised her father more than that Xinyi and that boy who molested her, because they were strangers to her, but he was her father. 

She was more disappointed in him than others. She has no relations with them, but she was his daughter and yet he called her, ' sl*t and bastard' and whatnot. 

…

When she heard Yu Kang say such things about her, she felt a surge of emotions inside her. 

Her body started shivering as the previous painful memories came to her. The memories which she tried to forget and have gotten over it mostly now making her feel dizzy. 

It started haunting her again. 

She remembered that after going abroad she had to take counseling as she was in a state of depression. 

That time of life was so hard for her. She has no one beside her to take care of her, her family and friends everyone abandoned her or betrayed her. 

Her Grandfather sent her to a foreign country to study as no school was ready to take her due to that incident. 

Zhao Ming's eyes welled up as she glared at Yu Kang. But before she could react and give him a tight slap, she saw Yu Kang getting kicked by Ji Cheng. 

She got out of her stupor when she saw Ji Cheng kicking hard Yu Kang in his abdomen. 

The force was so strong that he fell behind and even Feng Ju loosened his grip on him which made him fell on the ground hard. 

She looked at Ji Cheng whose expressions have turned dark and gloomy. His fists were clenched tightly. 

She could see his face getting red in anger. This was the first time she has seen him in such anger. 

… 

Ji Cheng was standing beside Zhao Ming when Feng Ju was dragging Yu Kang out but before leaving the shop, he started spouting rubbish about Zhao Ming. 

Ji Cheng's expressions turned gloomy when he heard him say such disgusting words about her. He couldn't control himself and kicked him hard on his abdomen. 

Ji Cheng glared at Yu Kang with his bloodshot red eyes and roared, " You dared to threaten my wife in front of me? If you have the guts, then try touching even a single strand of her hair and see how I will break your hands."

Ji Cheng grabbed his collar and threatened him saying, ' Try touching her if you dare.' 

Yu Kang shivered seeing the scary look in Ji Cheng's eyes. He didn't realize that he said something wrong but seeing Ji Cheng's expressions, he realized that she is the Empress after all. 

He dared to strip the Empress n.a.k.e.d? It's a capital offense to threaten the royal family. And she is not just a simple family member but an Empress. She holds an important title and he could be given a capital punishment for this. 

When he came to his senses, Yu Kang had committed this mistake already. 

Ji Cheng was boiling in anger and punched him on the face again and kept punching his face until it became swollen and started bleeding. 

Zhao Ming didn't stop him and stood there looking at Ji Cheng who has turned into a beast. 

Everyone was scared seeing him behaving like this, even Wen Ru. 

He has never seen him this violent other than on wars. 

He raised his head to look at Zhao Ming who was standing there without moving and just staring at Ji Cheng in a daze. 

Tears started to well up in her eyes, not because she was scared or something but because she was happy. 

It's the first time someone stood up for her. It was the first time when she didn't stand up for herself but someone else. 

' How good would it have been if someone had stood up for her at that time when she was molested in school?'

She looked at Ji Cheng who was beating Yu Kang and felt that something was pulling in her heart. 

' So it's this feeling when someone stands up for you? ' she was feeling a surge of emotions seeing Ji Cheng fighting for her. 

It might not mean nothing to others but it is a big deal for her. Even her father didn't care about her, but he did. 

For her whole life, she had to be strong and had to fight for herself. Though it's not wrong, but she also needed someone to lean on and cry to her heart's content. 

She tried to look strong in front of everyone while hiding her scared Xie Ming inside the corner of her heart. 

Wen Ru was surprised seeing the gaze in Zhao Ming's eyes. Her eyes were extremely gentle and was welling up. 

He wanted to go and comfort her but when he noticed that her gaze was staring at Ji Cheng's back who was beating Yu Kang, he stopped. 

He understood that she doesn't want his comfort at this moment.
