“Ah…” Qiao Xi was furious. She wanted to charge forward but was blocked by Bai Zhou.
“What the hell are you doing, you crazy woman?” Meng Yuan was enraged. This old witch was too much.
Meng Yuan was so agitated she wanted to punch someone, but Jiang Nuan pulled her back.
He Mingrun hadn't expected this outcome at all.
He took out his phone and sent a video to Mu Jiuchen.
[Your wife is being severely bullied.]
Mu Jiuchen: [I'm coming immediately.]
“Nuannuan, why are you holding me back? This old lady is just here to cause trouble,” Meng Yuan glared fiercely at Tan Xue.
Jiang Nuan wiped the chicken soup from her face, her red lips curving into a seductive arc.
“This soup smells good. My soup isn't something just anyone can drink. Some people drink it and find it bitter, because their hearts are filled with malice. Some people drink it and find it sweet, because their hearts are filled with affection. And some people drink it and find it fragrant, because they feel happiness. As for this Madam, she has nothing but a belly full of bad intentions, so the soup is naturally bitter. Madam probably doesn't find anything tasty to eat, does she? You're as thin as a praying mantis.”
After Jiang Nuan finished speaking, she watched the color drain from Tan Xue’s face.
Before Tan Xue could speak, she picked up Yao Lu’s health soup and slowly poured it over Tan Xue’s head.
“You crazy woman?” Yao Lu yelled excitedly, “Do you know who this is?”
Jiang Nuan smashed the beautiful peony-patterned soup bowl to the ground.
“Crash…” The heavy soup bowl shattered into pieces.
Tan Xue, on the other hand, was stunned. She had never imagined that she, so noble and elegant, would be treated like this one day.
Jiang Nuan looked at Tan Xue, her smile becoming more radiant. “Sorry, Madam. I’ve always been wild, and I’m fond of returning favors in kind.”
“I hope you don't mind too much. No matter who you are, don’t be too arrogant. People who know you might indulge you, but outsiders might not.”
“Bitch,” Tan Xue finally came to her senses, roaring and raising her hand to slap Jiang Nuan. Such humiliation was unbearable.
She had originally intended to humiliate Jiang Nuan, but instead, she found herself severely mistreated. She, who always got her way, could never have dreamed of such a reversal.
However, her hand was caught by Jiang Nuan.
She frowned and, with a slight push, tried to pull her hand back, but it wouldn't budge. She stared at Jiang Nuan intently.
Jiang Nuan smiled beautifully. With a slight exertion of force, Tan Xue gasped, almost unable to breathe from the pain.
“Madam, judging by your arrogant demeanor, this isn't a recent development. Has no one ever told you that it’s better to offend a gentleman than a villain? I, Jiang Nuan, have always been a villain. Madam, you should be careful.”
Her ethereal voice was unhurried, yet every word struck Tan Xue’s heart like a heavy hammer.
Then, in the next moment, she applied a strong force. With a “crack.”
“Ah…” Tan Xue let out a pig-like scream.
“Madam.” Yao Lu tried to rush forward to hit Jiang Nuan but was kicked away by Jiang Nuan.
“Bang…” The sound of tables and chairs colliding fiercely.
“Ah… my back.” Yao Lu, sprawled on the ground, experienced fear for the first time.
Everyone: “…” Stunned!
Jiang Nuan is mighty!
Jiang Nuan then calmly reminded Tan Xue, “Madam, next time you reach out to hit someone, also consider the consequences for your own hand. You should be careful with a reckless madwoman like me, lest you lose face and end up beaten to a pulp.”
After speaking, Jiang Nuan took another step forward, looking at Tan Xue who was about to faint. Her exquisite features were devoid of any warmth.
She whispered into Tan Xue’s ear, “Madam, remember this: don’t provoke me. Next time you seek trouble like this, think about the consequences before you act.”
Tan Xue’s eyes rolled back. She wanted to curse, but she was so enraged she couldn’t catch her breath, unable to utter a word.
Jiang Nuan threw Tan Xue away, then shook her hand, saying leisurely, “So dirty! I’ll need to disinfect later.”
At this, Tan Xue’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted completely.
“Bang…”
Everyone: “…”
He Mingrun swallowed hard. This Jiang Nuan was too daring. Didn't she know who this was?
He quickly sent a message to Mu Jiuchen: [I think you don’t need to come.]
Mu Jiuchen was already standing at the doorway. He had seen everything that had just happened.
Jiang Nuan, how to put it? She had done something he hadn’t dared to do in over a decade. Truly brave!
“Master Ji, please save Madam quickly.” Yao Lu saw Mu Jiuchen and quickly pleaded for help.
Mu Jiuchen, who was about to turn and leave: “…”
If he stepped in now, he would only be drawing their ire.
Jiang Nuan suddenly turned, looked at Mu Jiuchen, and said coldly, “Since she’s family from Master Ji’s household, please take her away.”
Jiang Nuan then looked at Qiao Xi and the others nearby, “These two women are dirty. Don’t let them in next time.”
Everyone: “…”
Especially Mu Jiuchen, Jiang Nuan’s straightforward nature had never allowed her to suffer any losses.
Mu Jiuchen’s tall figure slowly walked in. He looked down at Yao Lu, “Xiao Fan, take her out. I have something to ask her.”
After speaking, he glanced at the calm-faced Jiang Nuan and then strode out. Jiang Nuan felt his gaze was sharp and difficult to understand.
Xiao Fan also helped Yao Lu up and followed Mu Jiuchen out. He secretly gave Jiang Nuan a thumbs-up, saying she was amazing, but her life would be difficult from now on.
Meng Yuan’s face was a little pale: “Damn it, Nuannuan, did we get into trouble? This old witch is Mrs. Mu, so when she wakes up, she definitely won’t let us off.”
Jiang Nuan smiled, “Whether she wakes up or not, she won’t let us off. Before she does, let’s just enjoy ourselves first.”
Meng Yuan gave a thumbs-up, “Nuobao, you’re amazing. Since ancient times, who has not died? Let us leave our loyal hearts to history.”
Jiang Nuan: “…” She should probably go wash herself first.
Outside the door, Mu Jiuchen looked coldly at Yao Lu, “Assistant Yao, I’ll ask you only once, why did you come here? If you don’t tell the truth, I have ways to make you tell the truth.”
Yao Lu looked at his icy gaze, which pierced her heart like a sharp knife.
But no matter how scared she was, she couldn’t betray her Madam, or she would die a more tragic death.
“Master Ji, I don’t understand what you mean. Master Ji saw how wicked Jiang Nuan was just now. Master Ji cannot let Jiang Nuan off like this. This is a disgrace to the Mu family today. Jiang Nuan is stepping on the Mu family, Master Ji.”
Mu Jiuchen’s dark eyes grew colder. From his dark eyes, beams of cold light shot out, an icy chill that seemed to freeze everything around them, as if in an ice cellar.
Yao Lu was very scared. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Mu Jiuchen.
“Yao Lu, you investigated Jiang Nuan. Do you want me to show you the evidence? I told you, there’s only one chance. You helped Tan Xue with her affairs. Do you think she, with her ruthless nature, will let you go? You can still be used by me, so you are safe. But here, if I throw a stone, you and your son might not be so safe. Speak, why did you come here?”
Yao Lu had already thought of a reason: “Master Ji, we were just passing by. Seeing that this place had just opened, we wanted to join in the fun. We had no other purpose.”
