Chapter 524: Two Slaps
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone was silent.
They thought to themselves. Where did this nutcase come from?
She actually dared to find trouble with Huo Siyu!
Did she know her ident.i.ty? Did she know how untouchable she was?
Although it was only a small party to celebrate Qin Xuan’s birthday, many of their elders had warned them before they came that Qin Hao and Huo Siyu would be present. They told them to be careful and not offend them.
They naturally did not dare to provoke Qin Hao. The elders in their families mostly warned them not to offend Huo Siyu.
The Huo Family in South City was not a pushover, and Huo Siyu was not a pushover either.
Many elders who were friends with Qin Xuan had attended the Min Family’s banquet before the new year and witnessed Huo Siyu’s methods.
Not to mention that Huo Siyu had the Huo Family and Huo Xuan, the only ruthless character in the business world who dared to go against Master Nine, as her backers, Huo Siyu herself was not someone to be trifled with either.
They all had to behave themselves, but they did not expect someone to come looking for trouble.
She was so rude to Huo Siyu.
Was she tired of living?
Huo Siyu’s smile faded slightly and she looked up at her.
Huo Siyu stood at the bottom of the stone steps and the girl stood on the stone steps. However, during this confrontation, the girl felt like Huo Siyu was looking down on her instead.
She was surprised.
Didn’t they say that Huo Siyu had only returned to the Huo Family for two years and was adopted by an ordinary couple in Country F in the early years? How could she have such a strong aura?
It must be her imagination!
“Who the h.e.l.l are you?” Huo Siyu asked. Her tone was emotionless and her expression was emotionless, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of fear.
Even Qin Xuan was so frightened by her aura that she forgot to smooth things over.
“Why do you care who I am!”
As soon as she finished speaking, low mocking laughter appeared around her.
The girl’s face turned red and she glared at Huo Siyu. “How dare you talk to me like that!”
“You’re just a n.o.body. Why wouldn’t I dare?”
Huo Siyu smiled. “On the other hand, you dare to talk to me like this. You’re very bold. I’m a little impressed by you.”
“Did you go out without bringing your brain or have you been brainless since you were young? You’re brainless, but what about your parents? Didn’t they remind you before you left that you have to speak carefully outside? Some people are people you can’t afford to offend?”
As Huo Siyu spoke, she picked up her dress and walked up the stone steps.
The onlookers retreated and distanced themselves.
The girl almost retreated instinctively. She would be too ashamed to face anyone in the future if she was frightened by Huo Siyu’s aura in public.
She forced herself to stand still.
“Who are you calling brainless? Can I afford to offend you? I grew up in Country Y with my parents and have never seen anyone I can’t afford to offend!”
“Ha, that’s because you’re inexperienced. Who can you blame?”
Then, Huo Siyu raised her hand.
Slap!
A slap landed.
It was very sudden and fast.
The girl sensed Huo Siyu’s actions but she couldn’t dodge in time. She was slapped hard.
Huo Siyu did not hold back. The girl’s face was swollen immediately!
No one expected Huo Siyu to slap her directly, other than Yan Jinyu.
Hence, everyone was so shocked that they could not react for a long time, including the girl who was slapped.
She thought that Huo Siyu had only come up to argue with her. She did not expect her to slap her right away.
Yan Jinyu stood where she was and watched this scene with a smile.
She was unmoved.
After everyone got over their shock, those who knew Yan Jinyu were surprised by her indifference.
She actually did not look surprised. Did she already know that Huo Siyu would do that?
Zhao Linlin was especially shocked.
She was both shocked by Huo Siyu’s directness and Yan Jinyu’s calmness.
Were the descendants of these wealthy families so direct and straightforward when handling problems?
“Y-you dare to hit me?”
Finally, she reacted. The girl covered her face and glared at Huo Siyu angrily.
Huo Siyu sneered, “I say, you’re a strange person. I’ve already hit you, but you’re still asking me if I dare to hit you. Is there something wrong with you? Or is it that you didn’t feel it clearly and want to feel it again?”
“Then I’ll fulfill your wish.”
Huo Siyu slapped her again.
Slap!
The sound was crisp and the onlookers felt their faces hurt.
“A slap on each side. They’re symmetrical now.”
The girl covered her other face in disbelief. “You! I’m going to kill you!”
As she spoke, she rushed towards Huo Siyu. Huo Siyu sneered and quickly dashed forward, grabbing her neck.
Fast, ruthless, and accurate!
Huo Siyu lifted her up!
Everyone gasped!
Oh my G.o.d. This girl looked as tall as Huo Siyu, but she was obviously larger than Huo Siyu. Huo Siyu actually lifted her up so easily?
Huo Siyu was so strong?
No, no, that was not what they should be paying attention to. It was Huo Siyu’s skills!
Other than Yan Jinyu, no one else had seen Huo Siyu make a move before. They only heard from their elders that she was very skilled and shouldn’t be provoked.
Now that they saw it with their own eyes.
She was not only very good, she was clearly excellent!
She was an expert!
In families like theirs, many people had learned a few moves since they were young. It was easy for them to tell if she was an expert or not.
A martial arts pract.i.tioner!
The girl had difficulty breathing as she was being held by the neck. She wanted to grab Huo Siyu’s hand as shouted with difficulty, “Let… let go… I…”
There was anger in her eyes, but there was mostly fear.
It was the fear of death!
Huo Siyu sneered, “Guess what happened to the last person who spoke to me like this?” Huo Sisi didn’t even dare to speak to her like this. Huo Sisi was just putting on an act in front of her.
However, even so, Huo Sisi still suffered a fate worse than death for that.
As Huo Siyu spoke, she clenched her hand.
The girl’s eyes were about to pop out. She opened her mouth but couldn’t even beg for mercy. She was completely frightened.
Only then did Qin Xuan speak, “Rainy, I apologize for my cousin’s rudeness. I hope you can show mercy on my account.”
Qin Xuan had actually reacted long ago, but she didn’t say anything immediately because she wanted to teach this girl a lesson.
Today was her birthday. No matter what, Huo Siyu was still a guest that she had invited. Her cousin was actually so rude to Huo Siyu. She did not give her any face at all.
Huo Siyu was her cousin Qin Hao’s fiancée. If Qin Hao found out that Huo Siyu was bullied at her house, she would suffer too.
Moreover, Yan Jinyu was also present.
Putting aside the fact that Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu couldn’t be provoked, she was considered friends with Yan Jinyu, and Huo Siyu was Yan Jinyu’s friend. Moreover, her relations.h.i.+p with her cousin was ordinary, so she naturally stood on Huo Siyu’s side.
She should teach her cousin a lesson.
Huo Siyu glanced at Qin Xuan before retracting her gaze. She sneered, “It’s Xuanxuan’s birthday today, so I’ll spare your life for her sake! If there’s a next time, it won’t be so easy!”
Huo Siyu did let her go, but it wasn’t that easy.
As Huo Siyu picked her up and threw her out, she kicked her stomach hard and sent her flying.
Huo Siyu controlled her strength very well and the girl did not vomit blood. After all, it was Qin Xuan’s birthday. It was not good to see blood.
However, she was also half-dead.
The girl lay on the ground and gasped heavily.
Everyone thought to themselves. How ruthless!
They looked at Huo Siyu with fear in their eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
Another person walked out of the villa.
She was wearing a long white gown.
It was the same color as Qin Xuan’s gown, but her style was monotonous and the jewelry on her was simple and generous. Her hair was tied up on her head and she wasn’t wearing any hair accessories. She looked rather simple, so she wouldn’t steal Qin Xuan’s limelight.
She looked weak and pitiful.
The girl on the ground saw her and immediately teared up. She pointed at Huo Siyu and said fiercely, “S-Sister, help me take revenge. S-she almost killed me!”
The girl walked forward weakly and helped the girl up with difficulty.
Then, she looked at Huo Siyu. “Miss… I wonder what my sister said to offend you that made you treat her so ruthlessly? I admit that my sister is a little impulsive sometimes and she doesn’t know her limits when she speaks, but this is Xuanxuan’s birthday party. We’re all here to celebrate Xuanxuan’s birthday. Aren’t you worried that Xuanxuan will be put in a spot when you’re so ruthless?”
“…” Qin Xuan. She wanted to curse and swear.
One could only wonder who was being ruthless and inconsiderate when she caused trouble in public.
“Why? Do you think I’m being too gentle?”
“I’m not giving her any face? Ha, do you think everyone present is blind? Don’t you know what happened? I’m here to celebrate Xuanxuan’s birthday, not to be bullied here. I didn’t even know who she was when we met, but she pointed at my nose and questioned me. Why? Do I look like a punching bag that can be bullied?”
“If it wasn’t for the fact that I didn’t want to cause trouble at Xuanxuan’s birthday party, do you think she could still breathe now?”
“However, it’s very rare for you to know that she’s impulsive and doesn’t know her limits. You even know her nature!”
“Sister, she’s Huo Siyu. She’s that Huo Siyu who stole Young Master Qin!” It took a lot of effort for the girl to shout that. The injuries Huo Siyu had left on her body when she kicked her were aching.
She broke out in cold sweat after shouting that.
However, she still glared at Huo Siyu unkindly.
The girl’s words made everyone very speechless.
He was her legitimate fiancé. What status did she have? She actually said that she was s.n.a.t.c.hing him? How shameless!
Even the girl in the long white gown froze.
Huo Siyu: “Stole Qin Hao?”
“Dare I ask which of you Qin Hao belongs to? If I remember correctly, my engagement with Qin Hao was decided long ago by our two families, right? He was labeled as Huo Siyu long ago. You are telling me now that I s.n.a.t.c.hed him away?”
“Miss n.o.body, are you joking?”
Part of the reason why Huo Siyu was so angry at the beginning and slapped her twice was because this girl had provoked her in public. However, more importantly, from the first sentence this girl said, she could tell that she had designs on Qin Hao.
In other words, she was Qin Hao’s admirer.
So be it. She didn’t have the mood to interfere. Qin Hao was considered outstanding. It was normal for girls to like him.
However, this girl should never have found fault with her.
Not only was she thinking about her man, but she was also looking for trouble with her.
How good was her temper to have endured this?
In the past, she would have killed her already.
Of course, she still dared to do that now. However, it was Qin Xuan’s birthday today, so she had to give Qin Xuan some face.
“Nonsense! I’ve known Young Master Qin since I was young.. He’s someone I’ve long decided on. You stole him! If it wasn’t for you, the person who would be with him now would be me!”
