Chapter 11 A Good Fight

"Brother, you were too impulsive. Tang Wenshan's father is very famous in the district. We can't afford to offend her. This is trouble." Du Yunyun hadn't expected Du Fei to lay a hand on Tang Wenshan. Although the slap felt incredibly satisfying, the ensuing trouble made Du Yunyun frown with worry. Back in school, Tang Wenshan had hit other students several times, complaints were made to the principal, but nothing ever came of it. Later, it was vaguely revealed that Tang Wenshan's family had powerful connections. Their ordinary families simply couldn't afford to provoke her. Du Yunyun anxiously clasped her hands together, biting her lip. "Sun Haoyu, what are you standing there for! Go up and beat this guy to death! He just slapped me! Are you blind?" Tang Wenshan actually wanted to rush up and scratch Du Fei's face, but she wasn't foolish. She was afraid Du Fei would go further and slap her again. So, she pulled her boyfriend, pointed at Du Fei, and yelled. Sun Haoyu's first reaction was disgust, then he quickly composed himself. He said to the store clerk beside him, "Immediately call the mall security and your manager!" The clerk, seeing Sun Haoyu's extraordinary attire, nodded immediately and turned to leave. "Sun Haoyu, what are you doing?" Tang Wenshan was furious that her boyfriend wasn't immediately helping her save face. Sun Haoyu leaned in and whispered to Tang Wenshan, "Wenshan, why are you in a hurry? I'll..." After hearing Sun Haoyu's plan, which would humiliate Du Fei and Du Yunyun, she immediately laughed with delight and praised Sun Haoyu for being clever. But deep in Sun Haoyu's eyes, annoyance was evident. In fact, he had long wanted to break up with Tang Wenshan. This girl was vain and ill-tempered. If it weren't for the fact that her father could help his family, Sun Haoyu would have dumped her long ago. Now that his father had successfully become the general manager of Wanhe Mall, Sun Haoyu was contemplating when to dump Tang Wenshan. The youthful, sweet-looking Du Yunyun stirred his interest. "Several guests, I am the store manager here." Soon, a woman in a suit and skirt, about thirty years old, walked over. Behind her followed several uniformed mall security guards. Seeing them appear, Tang Wenshan sneered, "You'll regret this later!" "My father is Sun Zhengshu. This guy is a former convict who just got out of prison. He just hit my girlfriend!" Sun Haoyu, like a tiger borrowing its might, immediately announced his father's name. The store manager, upon hearing that the young man before her was the mall general manager's son and his girlfriend had been assaulted in her store, immediately bowed and apologized, "I am truly sorry, Young Master Sun. This is my negligence. Please allow me to offer my sincere apologies to your girlfriend." "Stop with the nonsense. This guy just slapped me. I want you to break his hands. And this bitch, I saw her trying to steal clothes from the store. Arrest her and send her to the police station immediately!" Seeing help arrive, Tang Wenshan started issuing orders again. However, she was quite malicious. It was she who had insulted Du Yunyun, leading Du Fei to slap her, yet now she wanted security to break Du Fei's hands and have Du Yunyun arrested as a thief. "Anyone who touches my brother will have to go through me first! And I'm here to buy clothes, I didn't steal anything!" Du Yunyun spread her arms, blocking Du Fei. She was terrified. Du Fei had just been released from prison, and now he had gotten into a fight because of her. If this escalated, coupled with Tang Wenshan's background, would he be sent back to prison? The thought made Du Yunyun blame herself. Why did she insist on coming here to buy clothes? If they had just gone home, none of this would have happened. Seeing Du Yunyun's action, Du Fei felt both angry and pained. He was angry that this little girl had no faith in him, her brother. He was pained that when trouble arose, she immediately stepped in to protect him without a second thought. Seeing his sister bravely step forward to protect him, Du Fei felt Tang Wenshan deserved the slap even more. "Little sister, as I said, from now on, no matter what happens, I will protect you. I don't even care about some nagging old woman." Du Fei patted Du Yunyun, signaling her not to be so nervous. Tang Wenshan, hearing Du Fei call her a nagging old woman, immediately went berserk. "What are you waiting for! Arrest him immediately! I'm going to smash this guy's mouth and send him back to prison! You two are a pair of dogs..." Slap, slap! This time, it was Du Yunyun who struck. Like a little tigress, Du Yunyun gritted her teeth, rushed forward, and delivered two slaps to Tang Wenshan's face, alternating between left and right. "You can't insult my brother! And even if I get arrested, I'll tell everyone that you're a nagging old woman, a useless, stinking nagging old woman!" After the two slaps, Du Yunyun felt completely relieved. She had never felt so unburdened. In the past, due to her family's circumstances, even though she consistently ranked first in school and county exams, Du Yunyun had always been low-key. Whenever she had a conflict with anyone, she would be the one to yield and retreat. Facing someone wealthy and powerful like Tang Wenshan, she was even more cautious, afraid of angering her and embarrassing her mother. But now, these two slaps had helped her regain her confidence and become brave. "Well done, sister!" Du Fei, standing beside her, gave her a thumbs-up, delighted to see the newfound confidence radiating from her. Tang Wenshan, having been slapped repeatedly, disregarded the possibility of Du Fei hitting her again and lunged forward with her hands outstretched, aiming for Du Yunyun's face. Her nails were long and sharp. A scratch would surely draw blood. "Scram!" But before her hands could touch Du Yunyun, Du Fei casually waved his hand, pushing her back. She stumbled and fell to the ground, landing awkwardly on her backside, looking utterly disheveled. "Miss, Miss, are you alright?" The store manager, seeing the general manager's son's girlfriend in such a state, rushed forward to help her. "Get lost! I don't need your help. You're all useless. You just watched me get beaten and did nothing? Are you all just eating for free?" Tang Wenshan shoved the store manager's hand away and then pointed at her and the surrounding security guards, yelling at them. The store manager, who had tried to help her out of goodwill, was now being verbally abused so harshly, her face immediately fell. As for the security guards, they all regretted being there. In their opinion, such a shrewish woman deserved to be beaten to death. However, due to her boyfriend being the son of the mall's general manager, they could only swallow their pride.
