Chapter 1256 Following Orders
Mu Chenyan stared at Xia Zhao, wide-eyed. Then she grew furious, "You better let go."
Xia Zhao sighed mentally and said patiently, "Violence is not the answer."
"What do you mean? Violence is my answer!" retorted Mu Chenyan angrily. "Uncle told you to not raise your hand at anyone without a reason," reminded Xia Zhao.
"There is a big reason to raise my hand right now," said Mu Chenyan righteously. "I need to knock some sense into this brainless little delusional!"
An Ran purposely hid behind Xia Zhao and looked aggrieved as she said, "Brother Zhao, your friend hasn't learned any manners in all these years."
Mu Chenyan laughed at that, "I didn't learn manners and you didn't grow a brain in all these years!"
As An Ran was about to hold Xia Zhao's shirt from behind to show how scared she was of Mu Chenyan, the latter pulled Xia Zhao and pushed him behind her. She stared at An Ran with rage.
"How dare you try to touch what's mine? Did I give you the permission?" asked Mu Chenyan. "Who the fuck is your fiance here? Huh? How dare you call him yours? Even I didn't call him mine for years, who the little fuck are you to call him yours? Who gave you the right? His absent and controlling mother? No one told you that he'd only hate you more if you kept on buttering his mother?! I need to slap that face of yours that is still as disgusting as ever. Are you still a teenager? Playing this white lotus in front of me, does it look like it'll work?"
An Ran's tears fell as she continued to look at Xia Zhao as if hoping for him to see how unreasonable Mu Chenyan was and how much she bullied her. But she was really betting on the wrong. Xia Zhao had always been selectively blind when it came to Mu Chenyan. Whether when she wasn't his girlfriend or now that he had the official title of her boyfriend.
But he still hugged Mu Chenyan's waist from behind to stop her from really going to attack An Ran. Because he could tell Mu Chenyan was really in for a fight. His girlfriend just had a little obsession with violence and it didn't change with age either. No matter how much he wanted to solve everything with words, she wouldn't listen at all. Even her words were no less of an attack.
"Who are you giving that look? Keep your dirty eyes from my boyfriend and don't you dare look at him. I've always wanted to gauge your eyes out whenever you looked at him. Whether it was years ago or now. Try me one more time and let's see if I really gauge your eyes out or not this time around. And I'd be the right party after all I'm the girlfriend here. Not a fake fiancee like you who got married twice and couldn't even save her relationship so came back to look for the old love. Does Zhao look like a trash collector to you?"
An Ran held in her tears and glared at Mu Chenyan, "You're going too far now!"
"I'm not the one who schemed against him for years. Do you want me to remind you what have you done over the years? Do you really think I won't know just because I wasn't around?"
"No matter what, Auntie will never like you," said An Ran.
"Who wants Lin Qiao's acceptance? A mother-in-law like her can stay where she is. If I was scared of her, I'd have stopped seeing Zhao when she asked me to do so."
"You don't deserve him too," said An Ran. "Who would want to take you out? Have you looked at yourself? You look like a shrew!"
"Well, this shrew is about to dislocate some of your bones," said Mu Chenyan and rushed over. Even with Xia Zhao holding her back, it was impossible to stop her. Especially because Xia Zhao couldn't bring himself to be too hard on her. Someone came to stop her and even Mu Chenyan was taken aback seeing this person, "Yanyan, let's take a step back."
"What are you doing here?" asked Mu Chenyan.
Shui Xian laughed awkwardly. He was also wondering why he had to come here at this time and run into this scene. On the other hand, Xia Zhao's brother also appeared and pulled An Ran back, "You should take the hint and not act like a fool all the time. Leave!"
Shui Xian also pulled Mu Chenyan away and said, "Calm down." He looked at his assistant and said, "Bring a drink." Then he turned to Mu Chenyan and smiled, "I have never seen you so riled up before."
"Why did you pull me? I have been wanting to kick her ass for years."
"What stopped you back then?"
"I had no right to smack her since I didn't think Xia Zhao was my exclusive property. And also because if I really hid her, my godmother would definitely not let me be."
"Then think about your godmother. She'd still not want you to hit her. For no other reason but that she didn't do anything to deserve a beating."
"She had been going around calling herself Zhao's fiancee for years. Isn't that wrong?"
"Not enough for a beating, I guess."
"You're a softie!" "And you're violent," retorted Shui Xian. His assistant came back with a drink and Shui Xian offered it to Mu Chenyan, "Drink this. You need to cool down. The heat is getting to you."
"Don't talk to me. I'm mad."
"At me?"
"Yes!"
"Sorry for pulling you back. But I was just following orders."
Mu Chenyan narrowed her eyes at him, "You told Elle about this?"
"I wasn't supposed to?"
"You really can't keep a secret?"
"I did not think this was a secret. I wasn't the only one who saw you n/-0velb1n
arguing."
"But you are the only one who knows me here!"
