Chapter 275

["Why did they suddenly start fighting?"]

Everyone had this confusion until they saw who rushed over to beat up Jin Cai. At that moment, all the students' doubts were instantly cleared.

Because the person beating Jin Cai was Xi Jingshu, whose sister was Jin Cai's wife.

While Xi Jingshu's name suggested someone quiet and gentle, she was actually quite fierce, acting on impulse without considering consequences.

Logically, when normal people hear about such matters, they would gather evidence first to maximize their advantage.

Even if they chose to beat someone up without prior investigation, they would at least wait until they got home, when no outsiders were around.

But this sister was different. She chose to attack him right here, with all the notable figures of Blue City present.

Not only would this air their family's dirty laundry in public, but she could also be charged with assault in a public place.

Xi Jingshu's friends exchanged glances - one went to find her parents, while the other went to find her sister.

Without any prior coordination, everyone gave the same account: Jingshu heard someone say her brother-in-law had sexually harassed a female subordinate at work. Thinking of how her sister had always cared for her since childhood, she became furious and went to seek revenge on her sister's behalf. As you know, although Jingshu is straightforward, she has no malicious intent. If she wasn't concerned about her sister, she wouldn't have acted so impulsively.

Facing her friend's parents who looked livid, she remained composed and said, "What's done is done. Getting angry won't help. You might as well consider how to handle the aftermath."

Xi Jingshu's parents went off grumbling to investigate their son-in-law's alleged sexual harassment. Whether it was true or not, at this point it had to be treated as truth.

Xi Jingshu's sister chose to stay close to learn the details, buying time to resolve the situation.

In this critical moment, everyone showed unprecedented coordination.

Although Xi Jingshu was a girl, she had a natural talent for fighting.

Her martial arts aptitude was enough to overcome the physical differences between men and women.

As Jin Cai was being beaten one-sidedly by Xi Jingshu, Ji Chunsheng just stood beside him without offering help. Instead of intervening, he actually took two steps back.

Jin Cai was in pain all over and tried to reach for Ji Chunsheng's help. Just as his hand was about to touch Ji Chunsheng's suit pants, Ji Chunsheng timely stepped out of the war zone.

"Damn you," he thought, "if you're such a good fighter, why don't you go compete in the UFC and bring glory to our country?"

Jin Cai cursed internally - his father-in-law and mother-in-law were really good at distorting black and white.

Ignoring his pain, he immediately demanded Master Sheng check the surveillance footage to see if he had any interaction with Xi Jingshu since arriving at the venue.

He wanted to know whether he had really done something despicable, or if Xi Jingshu was just crazy to suddenly attack him.

While confronting the Xi family parents, Jin Cai looked to his wife for help with pleading eyes.

Although his wife was Xi Jingshu's sister, since she had married him, they were family now. She should support him, her husband, rather than side with the Xi family.

Jin Cai's family had some minor influence in Blue City, but not as much as the Xi family, making him somewhat of a live-in son-in-law.

Therefore, at this banquet, Jin Cai's parents weren't present. Only his younger cousin was there, brought in under the guise of being his secretary, and was already terrified by everything that had happened.

Seeing his cousin shrinking in the corner, Jin Cai was furious. What a disgrace, especially after all the care he had shown the kid.

To prove he hadn't provoked Xi Jingshu, Jin Cai firmly insisted on reviewing the venue's surveillance footage.

However, no one present was willing to address his unreasonable demand.

Xi Jingshu's parents repeatedly apologized to Master Sheng, promising to better educate their son-in-law and ensure such mistakes wouldn't happen again. They also had their daughter apologize to him, seemingly putting an end to this drama.

The previously subdued atmosphere in the venue quickly heated up after this small incident.

Even the performing artists changed their originally soothing music to a more upbeat rhythm.

Everyone enthusiastically discussed the recent fight and related gossip.

Shi Li couldn't help but think sarcastically, [So you see, sometimes you just need a fight to liven up the party]

Others: Oh, so you still remember that incident.
