After hearing her words, Xie Yifei suddenly snorted with laughter, "Don't you think it's too late to say these things now?
Although I, Xie Yifei, come from an ordinary background, I have dignity. Do you think that after you've insulted me to that extent, I would still associate with you?
Would that make me too cheap?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Tong's heart trembled, and he immediately grabbed her arm, saying, "Yifei, listen to me, I've never looked down on you. I..."
Xie Yifei struggled, her eyes chilling as she stared at him, "Although you never said anything to my face, you've shown me your true nature. I've long considered a mama's boy like you as worthless as a discarded shoe."
Zheng Tong became even more anxious upon hearing this. He tightly embraced her, "Yifei, it was all my fault before. I promise I will never let you suffer any grievances again. Please, just give me..."
Before he could finish speaking, his waist was suddenly kicked hard, and then his head hit the wall with a muffled thud.
"Ah—" Zhu Mengli screamed in fright and hurried towards her son, "Zheng Tong, Zheng Tong, are you alright?"
This sudden turn of events immediately attracted many people to stop and watch.
Shen Xi, pushing Xie Han, also happened to walk over.
"Xixi, isn't that Yifei? What's going on? Go check on her quickly."
Shen Xi observed for a moment and said in a low voice, "Godmother, you don't need to worry. Isn't Jian Fan over there? Yifei won't be at a disadvantage."
"I'm fine," Zheng Tong said, clutching his head. With Zhu Mengli's support, he finally managed to stand up.
When the two of them looked up, they saw Xie Yifei being protected in Jian Fan's arms.
"Who are you? Why did you hit my son?" Zhu Mengli stepped forward, pointing at Jian Fan with unconcealed rage, and asked.
"If I said Xie Yifei is my girlfriend, do you think I have the right to hit your son?" Jian Fan straightened his back and retorted unhurriedly.
Perhaps because Jian Fan looked too fair-skinned and sunny, and always preferred casual wear, he appeared several years younger than his actual age.
Zhu Mengli burst into laughter upon hearing this, her eyes filled with contempt and disdain, "You, a wet-behind-the-ears brat, dare to claim she's your girlfriend. No one would believe you.
If my son is injured today, I will never let you go. I'm calling the police right now to have you arrested."
However, before she could even pull out her phone, she saw Jian Fan lower his head and, in front of everyone, kiss Xie Yifei on the lips.
Xie Yifei's body stiffened, her hands unconsciously tightening their grip on his clothes, her eyes wide as she stared at him blankly.
A moment later, Jian Fan straightened up, a wicked smile curling his lips, "Now do you believe it? This was just a small lesson for your son. If he dares to lay a hand on my girlfriend again, the consequences could be much more severe."
With that, he took Xie Yifei's hand and said gently, "Let's go."
Zhu Mengli and Zheng Tong stared blankly at their departing backs, unable to utter a word.
At this moment, someone from the crowd of onlookers suddenly spoke up, "That woman just now, she looks familiar. Isn't she the famous host Xie Yifei from K City TV?"
"Yes, yes, it's her. I just heard the handsome guy who kissed her mention her name."
"It looks like a love triangle. Although that handsome guy looks a bit young, he and Xie Yifei are really well-matched. This kind of age-gap relationship is very popular now."
"It is. And the way he just declared his ownership was so cool and domineering. If it were me, I would have gone with him too. He's so much better than this man, and the key is that there's an overbearing mother-in-law here."
Zhu Mengli trembled with rage upon hearing their conversation. She suddenly turned around and roared fiercely at the crowd, "Get out, all of you, get out!"
The crowd dispersed quickly. Zhu Mengli clenched her fists and glared furiously in the direction Xie Yifei and Jian Fan had left.
She thought to herself: What's so great about some so-called famous reporter? With one phone call, I can bring her down.
"Mom, let's go." At this moment, Zheng Tong glanced at her and slowly walked forward.
"Useless!" Zhu Mengli glared at him with disappointment, "I've told you long ago that Xie Yifei wouldn't get back with you, but you refused to believe me. Now you've made me lose face along with you.
Are all the women in the world dead? That you're so fixated on her."
"Mom, can you please stop talking? I feel so dizzy," Zheng Tong stopped and said with a pained expression.
