Chapter 319: It Won’t Matter That You’re a Lady, I’ll Hit You All the Same!
“Your sister is pretty good at that.”
At this point, Qiao Chen was clenching with fists as he trembled.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he never hit women, he’d have punched Shen Rou in the face.
He wasn’t the sort to get hot-tempered easily, but he couldn’t deal with being humiliated and insulted for no reason at all.
Especially when Shen Rou mentioned Qiao Mianmian.
Qiao Chen could never tolerate anyone putting his sister down.
It was more intolerable than insulting him.
“Don’t you b.l.o.o.d.y spout nonsense like that. What’s with my sister? I’m telling you, I’ve had enough of your insults. If you continue talking bad about my sister, it won’t matter that you’re a lady, I’ll hit you all the same!
“My sister is a hundred times better than a filthy-mouthed woman like you. You’re not fit to talk about her this way.
“Also.” He cracked his knuckles and gave Shen Rou a death glare. “We have no interest in the Shen family at all. Your so-called ‘powerful family’ is nothing more than bulls.h.i.+t in my eyes.
“You think everyone’s like you, viewing dogs.h.i.+t as something so precious and important.
“Since your younger sister is already engaged, then tell her that she should know her place and watch her boundaries in the future, and stop hara.s.sing me all day. She’s been hara.s.sing me from First Year till Third Year. I’m done with her. Don’t you ever think that I’m trying to marry someone from your family. Even if every woman on Earth is dead, I wouldn’t even take a second look at the Shen family daughters.”
Qiao Chen was losing his mind from all the anger.
He had no interest in Shen Xin at all.
But this woman had been hara.s.sing him for so long and insisting on making him her boyfriend.
And yet, her arrogant sister was making him sound like a beggar. Qiao Chen couldn’t take it lying down.
In a fit of anger, he’d lost rationality as he spoke.
The moment he was done talking, he saw tears well up in Shen Xin’s eyes. She bit her lip and looked at him, hurt.
She blinked, and tears immediately rolled down her fair, slightly blushed cheeks.
There was a look of disbelief in her eyes.
It was as if she couldn’t believe that Qiao Chen would say something like that.
The moment their eyes met, Qiao Chen was stunned. Annoyance and frustration grew in his heart.
He started to regret his spiteful words.
Although he’d rejected Shen Xin many times before, this was the first time he’d made it sound so awful.
As a pampered little girl, how could she possibly bear to hear that?
Qiao Chen knew that he was very hurtful with his words.
And that was why the guilt and regret came easily when he saw Shen Xin’s tears.
Yet, from another point of view, this wasn’t a bad thing.
He might as well take this opportunity to thrash things out.
Since she never took his tactful rejections seriously, it might do her good to be struck with such harsh words.
After all, she’d been pampered for so many years as the Young Miss of a rich household. She wouldn’t possibly go on hara.s.sing him after he’d trampled over her dignity.
With this thought, Qiao Chen clenched his fists and made a tough decision. “Shen Xin, please let me off. Stop hara.s.sing me. I don’t want to carry the name of wanting to be a part of the ‘cla.s.sy and powerful Shen family.’ Neither do I want to come between you and your fiancé.”
“I don’t have a fiancé,” Shen Xin said through her tears.
She could tell that this time, Qiao Chen was truly annoyed by her.
He wouldn’t bother about her in the future.
“That’s none of my business.” Qiao Chen’s voice was cold. “If you hara.s.s me again next time, I’m not going to be nice about it.”
Shen Xin bit her lip, unable to say another word as the tears continued to come out.
