A terrified scream was heard, and two cups of milk tea fell to the ground.
The new girlfriend flinched back and hid, while Guo Tao, with a dark expression, kicked Xie Shanshan away.
Bang!
Xie Shanshan was kicked five or six meters away and slid a considerable distance across the mall floor before stopping.
Doubled over, clutching her stomach, she could barely stand.
"Ah, look at that person!"
"Beating a woman, what a scumbag. Let's go take a look."
Bystanders in the mall saw. A kind-hearted girl hurried over to Xie Shanshan and asked with concern, "Miss, are you okay?"
Xie Shanshan took a long while to recover before lifting her head.
Her face was gaunt and tear-streaked, her eyes bloodshot, and she stared blankly at the girl.
The girl jumped back, startled.
"Beast, he's a beast... Hehe... beast..."
Xie Shanshan kept muttering. After a pause, she managed to stand up with great effort and walked towards Guo Tao again.
Her body trembled, like fragile leaves in the wind, so weak that a slight gust might bring her down. "Guo Tao! I'll die with you! You're a beast!"
She roared fiercely, lunging at Guo Tao like a vengeful spirit.
Seeing his new girlfriend's ashen face and panicked escape, Guo Tao cursed loudly. He met Xie Shanshan and slapped her, "Damn you, you bitch! You're still stalking me? I'll beat you to death today!"
"I broke up with you, and you're still clinging on, you shameless thing!"
Slap! Slap!
Xie Shanshan's face swelled up, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
She struggled desperately, her sharp nails raking Guo Tao's arms and cheeks during the struggle, leaving bloody marks.
"Why are you doing this to me! You beast! I have nothing left, nothing at all."
"If something happens to my dad, I'll kill you..."
Xie Shanshan kicked and hit Guo Tao, her burst of strength comparable to that of an adult man.
Even Guo Tao had trouble breaking free, and after being grabbed several times, he kicked Xie Shanshan away again.
This time, he landed a kick directly on her stomach!
Xie Shanshan felt her abdomen churn violently from the kick. A shattering pain made her legs go weak, and she fell to the ground. Guo Tao rushed forward and kicked her again.
Fiercely, one kick after another!
"Everything you have, I gave it to you. Why can't I take it back?"
"Your old man needs medical expenses, why are you coming to me? Go sell yourself! Isn't that what you like to do most?"
"Bitch! You weren't like this when you were asking for money in bed!"
"I'll beat you to death! Damn it! So damn cheap! You scared away the girl I just picked up!"
"Beat you to death, you bitch! Damn it!"
Xie Shanshan was beaten and kicked, her face and body splattered with blood. Her tears had almost run dry.
But thinking of her father, who had been transferred from the countryside and was critically ill in the city, she felt immense regret. If she could go back, she would never have gotten involved with Guo Tao.
It hurt so much, her heart ached, her body ached.
Would everything end if she just fell asleep? She was so tired, she longed to sleep.
Guo Tao was restrained by security guards and taken away by the police.
Xie Shanshan, covered in blood, was taken away by ambulance. The crowd of onlookers pointed and whispered.
"The original wife must have caught him cheating. That man is too cruel, beating her like that, almost to death."
"I don't think so. Didn't the man say earlier that the woman had also taken his money? It seems they broke up and she demanded the money back!"
"That's why we women have to rely on ourselves. Didn't you hear her say she didn't even have money for her father's medical expenses?"
"Yes, it's truly tragic..."
Su Ding watched the absurd and bloody scene disappear from the screen, feeling an inexpressible discomfort.
Everything had started because of her.
From her perspective, it was entirely justified to fire an employee who maliciously harassed her and abused their power through their boyfriend.
But she never expected things to escalate to such a brutal degree between them.
Guo Tao was so vicious, and Xie Shanshan was so reckless. It was unlikely this matter would end peacefully.
"Ask Bai Ruobing."
Su Ding sighed, feeling a bit depressed. The call was quickly connected.
Bai Ruobing was quite surprised to receive Su Ding's call. "Hello, President Su, is there something you need?"
