114 Standing Up
Li Zi was quietly listening to Gu Cheng, who was beside her, when she was suddenly splashed with red wine. She immediately screamed in shock.
Shen Yin hurriedly picked up a tissue and wiped the red wine on her friend’s face to prevent it from getting into her eyes. After helping Li Zi, she turned around and looked at the smug woman standing at the side. “Who are you? Why are you targeting my friend?”
“Your friend?” The woman snorted and raised her eyebrows. Her face was sharp and mean. “Since she’s your friend, you must be a b*tch like her! I must teach you women who seduce other people’s husbands a lesson today!”
Seeing the woman reach for the red wine in front of Zheng Ling again, Han Xu quickly grabbed the wine glass and looked at Shen Yin for help, as if to say, “Boss, what’s going on? Hurry up and think of a solution!”
By now, many of the customers in the restaurant were looking at them. When they heard that woman say the woman at their table had snatched her husband, they immediately pointed at Shen Yin and said, “She’s destroyed someone’s family yet she still pretends to be self-righteous. How shameless.”
When she heard the whispers, the woman immediately raised her head proudly and looked at Shen Yin and Li Zi provocatively. She looked at Gu Cheng, who had lowered his head, and a trace of resentment flashed across her eyes.
Seeing their boss’s friend being bullied, Wang Sheng and Zheng Ling looked at each other and were about to show their police badges to let this woman know who she was dealing with, but Shen Yin noticed and shook her head gently at them.
If they said that they were the police, it would only make things worse. If the matter blew up, it would give people with ulterior motives a chance to besmirch the police force’s reputation.
Besides, it was just a shrew. There was no need to reveal their identity.
Shen Yin stood calmly in front of the woman and said neutrally, “Since you said that my friend seduced your husband, may I ask who your husband is?”
The woman raised her finger, which had bright red nails and pointed at Gu Cheng confidently. “It’s him!”
Everyone at the table immediately looked at Gu Cheng in disbelief. They did not realize he was a married man.
He had gone on a blind date although he was married?
The more Li Zi thought about it, the angrier she became. She stood up and was about to splash a glass of red wine on Gu Cheng’s face to vent her anger when Gu Cheng grabbed her arm and pleaded, “I’m not married. She’s just my ex-girlfriend. She refuses to let me go. We broke up a long time ago.”
Shen Yin raised her eyebrows. When she saw the woman flush when he said that, she knew that the man was probably telling the truth
The woman was about to say something when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She held her stomach and squatted down in pain, but she still cursed Li Zi viciously. “All of you will die a horrible death. B*tch, sooner or later, you will end up like me!”
Shen Yin’s heart sank when she saw what was happening to the woman. She exchanged glances with Zheng Ling, and the two of them worked together to help the woman up and secretly observed her pale face.
The large drops of sweat on her face showed that she was not pretending. However, there could only be one reason why her stomach hurt so much.
Shen Yin let go and let the woman lean against Zheng Ling. Then, she looked expressionlessly at the man who was cowering behind Li Zi. “She’s pregnant. Do you know?”
“I didn’t know. How can she be pregnant? She’s a liar. She’s a liar. Don’t believe her!” Gu Cheng looked at the woman who was gritting her teeth and enduring the pain helplessly. Then, he grabbed Li Zi’s arm and begged, “You have to believe me. I really didn’t do it. We’ve had nothing to do with each other for a long time.”
Li Zi flung his hand away and gave him a hard slap. Then, she grabbed the wine glass on the table and splashed it on his face. She warned him with an ugly expression, “Don’t let me see you again. I’ll hit you every time I see you!”
With that, she threw away the tissue filled with red wine and left the cafeteria without looking back.
Shen Yin was about to chase after her when the woman with abdominal pain suddenly grabbed her arm and glared fiercely at Gu Cheng. “How dare to say that you didn’t know? You were so eager to break up with me because I’m pregnant.”
Gu Cheng was about to leave impatiently when Shen Yin blocked his way. “Where are you going, Mr. Gu? Please send this lady to the hospital. She needs immediate medical attention.”
