Chen Jinzhao lowered his head, lost in thought.
Yu Mengzhi had no intention of getting involved in such trivial matters, but now that Chen Jinzhao was being bullied, it made her feel a surge of anger!
That's right, anger!
No matter what, Chen Jinzhao was her person, and Yu Mengzhi wouldn't allow her people to be bullied!
Wu Tingyan wanted to say more, to settle old scores from the past.
Chen Jinzhao had been outstanding in college, excelling in academics and possessing good looks. It was the only time Wu Tingyan had actively pursued a guy, but Chen Jinzhao had actually rejected her!
Even today, she still harbored resentment.
"Chen Jinzhao, you..."
Mid-sentence.
Wu Tingyan's gaze was drawn to Yu Mengzhi. Yu Mengzhi's face was cool and composed, her aura exuding elegance and nobility. Her mere presence made Wu Tingyan feel a pang of inferiority, as if she were a mere firefly trying to outshine the moon.
Yu Mengzhi approached.
Then, she made a move that made Wu Tingyan gasp!
Yu Mengzhi, in her high heels, stood beside Chen Jinzhao, linked her arm through his, and smiled as she asked, "Jinzhao, are these two your classmates?"
As she spoke, she picked up the bills that had been stuffed into Chen Jinzhao's clothes, causing him a slight moment of surprise.
Wu Tingyan was also stunned.
Was this cool and stunning woman Chen Jinzhao's girlfriend?
"You, who are you to Chen Jinzhao?" Wu Tingyan asked inexplicably, while Miao Yu also desperately wanted to know the answer.
Chen Jinzhao was about to deny it.
Unexpectedly, Yu Mengzhi spoke first, "That's right, I am Chen Jinzhao's girlfriend, Yu Mengzhi. It's a pleasure to meet you. Please take this money back, he doesn't need it."
Wu Tingyan was awestruck by Yu Mengzhi's demeanor, feeling a sense of inadequacy.
Even as Yu Mengzhi returned the bills to her hand, she remained oblivious, not fully processing what was happening.
This didn't make sense!
Wasn't Chen Jinzhao just a mere security guard?
How could he be this cool woman's man?
Jealousy! Unwillingness! Anger!
All sorts of emotions converged and erupted in Wu Tingyan's chest!
She finally couldn't hold back and said to Chen Jinzhao, "Is this fun for you? I heard some agencies can hire beautiful women to pretend to be girlfriends. Where did you find this beauty? She must have cost a fortune!"
"Look at your security uniform, how could you possibly be worthy of such a beauty?"
As she spoke.
Wu Tingyan turned to Yu Mengzhi and said, "Miss, you'd better stay away from useless people like Chen Jinzhao. Be careful he can't afford you."
Chen Jinzhao's lips moved.
He still couldn't find his voice. Yu Mengzhi lifted her chin.
She spoke again, "Miss Wu, is it? Considering you were Jinzhao's classmate, I didn't want to argue with you. But you have repeatedly insulted my boyfriend's dignity. Do you really think I'm just a pretty face? I now demand that you apologize to Jinzhao publicly!"
"Yu... Mengzhi, can we just let it go?" Chen Jinzhao said.
Yu Mengzhi shot him a glance, her tone firm, "This matter cannot be let go!"
"Are you in charge, or am I?"
Chen Jinzhao lowered his head dejectedly, casting an apologetic glance at Wu Tingyan.
Wu Tingyan, being the unreasonable shrew she was, scoffed at Yu Mengzhi's words, "You want me to apologize to this security guard? Who the hell do you think you are? My mouth is my own, I can say whatever I want, what business is it of yours?"
Yu Mengzhi sneered.
There were ways to deal with shrews, but she hadn't wanted to escalate things this much.
Seeing that Yu Mengzhi didn't retort immediately, Wu Tingyan assumed she was speechless and continued to mock her, "So you're just good-looking? You've been completely fooled by Chen Jinzhao, this loser. But I think if you can be with Chen Jinzhao, you're probably not a good person either! Don't tell me you're some princess from a nightclub?"
Yu Mengzhi's teeth itched with anger.
Arguing with someone like this was almost beneath her!
So Yu Mengzhi decided to call the police, intending to charge Wu Tingyan with disturbing the peace.
Just as she took out her phone, Yu Mengzhi sensed Chen Jinzhao beside her suddenly move!
Like a gust of wind, he appeared in front of Wu Tingyan.
"Chen Jinzhao, what are you doing?!" Wu Tingyan actually saw a fierce glint in Chen Jinzhao's eyes!
Chen Jinzhao stood before Wu Tingyan, exuding an incredibly powerful aura of pressure!
One must remember—
Chen Jinzhao of the past had emerged from a sea of corpses and blood, a king. Once his inner rage was ignited, he would once again transform into the "Jade-Faced Yama" that even ghosts would weep at.
"Apologize. To. Her."
These four words were spat out from between Chen Jinzhao's teeth, one by one, like the beating of war drums, almost causing Wu Tingyan's heart to race.
Wu Tingyan swallowed. She had never seen such a terrifying Chen Jinzhao.
Yu Mengzhi was also stunned.
How could a security guard possess such a formidable presence?
The next moment.
Wu Tingyan reacted, turning to Miao Yu beside her and shouting, "Husband, quickly get someone to teach this security guard a lesson! He actually yelled at me! If you don't stand up for me, your buddies will laugh at you later."
"Can't even protect your own woman..."
Chen Jinzhao watched with cold eyes.
If Miao Yu intervened, he planned to teach him a lesson too.
Chen Jinzhao wouldn't have reacted to Wu Tingyan scolding, mocking, or even humiliating him.
But Wu Tingyan had the audacity to insult Yu Mengzhi, something Chen Jinzhao could absolutely not tolerate.
In other words, Chen Jinzhao now considered Yu Mengzhi his woman.
Yu Mengzhi stood behind Chen Jinzhao, feeling a sense of security she hadn't felt in a long time. Due to family reasons, she had lacked security since childhood, and now she had found it again.
And it was from a mere security guard.
"Tingyan, apologize," Miao Yu said, his voice strained.
Wu Tingyan immediately cried out, "What?!"
"Husband, are you out of your mind???"
"How can you ask me to apologize to this security guard and some woman who appeared out of nowhere? I'm not apologizing. If you want to apologize, then apologize yourself!!"
Wu Tingyan had a terrible temper.
Miao Yu found the situation tricky and quickly tried to persuade her, "Tingyan, be good!"
"Why should I?!"
Wu Tingyan turned her head away, "I won't!!"
Miao Yu was pushed to his limit. His face turned red, and blood rushed to his head. In a moment of irrationality, he slapped Wu Tingyan across her heavily made-up face.
The slap was powerful, making Wu Tingyan stagger. She then fell to the ground with a thud.
"You motherfucker!"
"I told you to apologize, so you apologize! Why are you spouting so much nonsense?!"
"Do you know who this is?"
"If you don't apologize today, I'm not done with you!"
