Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What are you doing? Stop pointing your finger at me, do you have any manners?” Mu Sisi had never been pointed at the nose like this before, causing her to feel edgy. She inadvertently tried to push her hand away with a swing but she did not control her strength properly and slapped her hard at the wrist.

The woman had just narrowly avoided being hit by the flying shoe, but now she was hit by the unreasonable Mu Sisi. She was infuriated. “What attitude is this? Didn’t you see that you almost hit me with the shoe! There are so many people passing by at the roadside and you just insensibly threw your shoe with a sharp pointed end away. It almost hit me, but not only did you not apologize, you even acted so arrogantly. How am I wrong pointing at you?”

Mu Sisi’s ankle was aching and she was bullied by Song Yu just a moment ago, and now she was being lambasted and pointed at by a woman she had never met before. She burst out in anger since she had not found an outlet to release her fury yet.

“Surely it was your fault, I didn’t hit you. You said I almost hit you. Is almost being hit the same as being hit? Why don’t you let me hit you? I would apologize right after that.” Mu Sisi pushed away the woman’s finger again. “Otherwise, stop pointing your finger at me, you chose the wrong person if you’re trying to blackmail me.”

“Blackmail you?” The woman was laughing after listening to what she said. “Is it worthwhile for me to blackmail you? Who the hell are you? Do you deserve to be blackmailed by me?”

“Watch your words!” Mu Sisi’s leg was aching and could not stand. She felt that she was at a disadvantage and not as intimidating as her due to the height discrepancy.

“What about me? I am just scolding you. It was you who hit me with your dirty hands!” The woman suddenly grabbed hold of Mu Sisi’s collar and lifted her.

Mu Sisi was not very light, and the person trying to lift her was a woman, so she was only able to barely lift her buttock off the step.

Mu Sisi was humiliatingly dragged to the ground by her from the steps. She fell with her body prone, and her upper body was again lifted by the woman who was grabbing her collar.

“You said that you’ll hit me and apologize to me, right?” She was sneering while gritting her teeth and said, “I’ll hit you now, and I’ll apologize after hitting you!”

The woman knocked her head by using the shoe’s pointed end. “I’m sorry!”

Then, she knocked again. “Sorry!”

She knocked once more. “I’m so sorry!”

They were surrounded by people around from the moment the shoe was thrown. They were filming and taking pictures with their phones, but nobody stepped forward to help her.

The passers-by who stood in a circle and watched them fighting could not tolerate Mu Sisi’s arrogance either. They thought if they were in her place and had almost gotten hit by the shoe, they, too, could not put up with Mu Sisi’s impertinence.

The woman did not seem like she would stop anytime soon. Mu Sisi’s forehead was injured and looked like there was already a hole.

“What are you doing? Stop hitting me! Let go of me! Let go of me!” Mu Sisi’s leg was feeling weak, and the woman was knocking her head ruthlessly. She did not have any strength left in her body.

“It hurts! It’s so painful, I’m dying! Stop hitting me!” Mu Sisi was covering her head with her palm. The woman hit her hand with the pointed end of the shoes, Mu Sisi withdrew her hand due to the pain and her forehead was getting knocked again.

“Are you going to apologize? Apologize or not? Tell me, are you apologizing or not?” asked the woman in a sharp voice while clenching her teeth.

“I’m sorry! Sorry! Ouch, I’m sorry!” Mu Sisi felt humiliated but she was forced to apologize. She wished she was dead at that moment. She felt an intense loathing from the depth of her heart toward this woman that came out of nowhere. She swore she would have her revenge.

She would return in double the mortification that she inflicted on her.

The woman was pushed away by someone when she was just about to release her after hearing her apology.

“What is happening?” Mu Huaisheng shielded Mu Sisi by standing in front of her and helped her up.

He was sending Ruan Danchen back after having a meal with her. At the entrance of Chengshi, he saw a woman clutching onto Mu Sisi’s clothes and hitting her head with a shoe.

He took a closer look at Mu Sisi and saw that one of her feet was not wearing any shoes. She was lying on the ground and her upper body was lifted by the woman. They were tangled together on the street like two shrews, their appearances battered and unsightly.

He hurriedly pulled that woman away and helped Mu Sisi up. Her forehead was all blood and it was flowing down to cover her face, making her look extremely scary.

When Mu Sisi saw Mu Huaisheng, she finally felt like she had somebody to back her. She hugged Mu Huaisheng’s arms tightly and burst into tears.

Her face was full of blood, the blood was mixed with the tears and it was hard to differentiate which was blood and which was tears. “Brother, she hit me! We should not let her get away with this! You saw how she beat me till I was injured like this, we should never let her off! Please avenge me. Waah, brother, look at how I was bullied and beaten up by her, I wouldn’t let her go!”

“Young lady, you have gone too far by beating up her to this degree.” Mu Huaisheng looked stern and furious. Even if the things that were done by Mu Sisi often drove him crazy, but she was his sister after all. He could not turn a blind eye to this incident because she was beaten up very badly.

“I have gone too far?” The woman threw Mu Sisi’s shoe to the front of Mu Huaisheng. The shoe with its heel gone rolled on the ground and stopped beside Mu Huaisheng’s feet. “She randomly threw this shoe with such a pointed end toward the roadside. Whoever got hit by it would surely injure their head, and it almost hit me just now. However, not only did she not apologize to me, she even arrogantly said that even though it was close, she didn’t hit me after all. I was not being unreasonable! I was lucky the shoe didn’t hit me, but that doesn’t mean she did nothing wrong!”

Mu Huaisheng kept quiet, that was in fact what Mu Sisi would say according to her character.

The woman stared at the two siblings coldly. Her lips pouted, she was using the burgundy lipstick which was the most popular color this year. “Humph, I have truly witnessed what an unreasonable person is, she even suggested that I was the one who was acting unreasonably. From the way she is dressing, I could tell that she thinks she is very rich. She called you brother just now, as a brother, you freed this type of dog to attack others recklessly. Who knows, one day you might provoke someone you’re incapable of dealing with. Don’t think you’re so great with just some filthy money, there are many others who are more powerful than you guys. The capital is so big, if one of the shop signboards drop at random, the chances of it hitting a rich person is high. How could you be so arrogant? Who do you think you are?”

“What! What did you say? Who are you calling a dog!” Mu Sisi was fuming behind Mu Huaisheng. She became bolder with Mu Huaisheng around, unlike the miserable woman who was crying and begging for forgiveness a while ago.

She thought that no matter how fierce that woman was, she would lose to Mu Huaisheng in a fight because he was a man!

“I warn you, watch your words! If you’re so well mannered, why did you beat me and call me a dog?” shouted Mu Sisi while pointing at the woman.

“I was just scolding the person who shouted at me just now.” The woman crossed her arms and sneered. “Was I scolding you? If you want to admit that you’re a dog so eagerly, there’s nothing I can do.”

“You⁠—⁠” Mu Sisi was raging, she was behaving like a cat whose tail was being stepped on. She was blushing and making threatening gestures, the scene was quite frightening to look at.

“This lady, what you just said has gone too far. My sister is a little rude and rebellious because our family is well-off. It was her fault that she nearly hit you. I apologize on behalf of her,” said Mu Huaisheng with a deep voice.

“Why are you apologizing to her? What did I do wrong? I told you I did not hit her, I threw the shoe because I saw nobody there. It was her who came and beat me up for no reason!” Mu Sisi was screaming behind Mu Huaisheng, interjecting him.

However, the crowd surrounding them started hissing when she finished talking.

A person in the crowd yelled, “You were lying without preparing a draft. I saw you were looking down when you threw the shoe. Do you have eyes on the top of your head to make sure no one was around? Besides, this is a bustling street, many people are walking around, on what occasion was this street not crowded besides midnight? Why don’t you join a shooting competition since you’re so good at finding a small gap to throw your shoe?”

Mu Sisi was speechless, she turned her head in the direction of the voice furiously but could not find the person who was talking. She could hear that the voice belonged to a male, so she glared at all the men around. “This is none of your business! I didn’t hit any of you, stop being so nosy!”

“Eek! I was scared to death!” The surrounding crowd stared at her bloody face and shouted like they were acting in a movie.

Mu Sisi clenched her teeth out of anger and Mu Huaisheng turned his head around to glare at her. “Just be quiet!”

“I was beaten up like that, how could I keep quiet? How could I concede!” replied Mu Sisi madly.

“If you continue to behave like this, I will stop helping you.” Mu Huaisheng said coldly, he was sick of looking after her.

Mu Sisi almost retorted but when she saw Mu Huaisheng’s stony expression, she could only suppress her recalcitrance.

“Miss, my sister was wrong for being arrogant and bossy, but you also did something wrong by hitting her so badly. I understand that you were furious because she scolded you after she almost hit you. I can’t criticize you for wanting to hit her to express your anger, maybe it’s okay for you to hit her a few times, but was it necessary to hit her so badly?” questioned Mu Huaisheng gravely.

“I hit her badly? If I was hit by her shoe, do you think what she did would be severe enough? If it wasn’t for her stubborn attitude and refusal to apologize, would I need to waste my energy? I honestly mind getting tired from hitting her!” The woman sneered, unafraid. “I beat her up today and you’re trying to get to the bottom of it, what if I was the one hit by her? Aren’t you going to say sorry and be done with it?”

“That is it!”

“You’re right!”

The surrounding people were agreeing with what she said and were giving their comments.

“Brother, there’s no use talking to her. I’ll have my wound examined, then we can sue her!” said Mu Sisi viciously as she pointed at the woman. She was grimacing as she clenched and gnawed her teeth. “If you dare, tell us your name and stop talking big. Since you have the guts to beat others, you also better have the guts to bear the consequences!”

Mu Sisi thought that she would be frightened and hesitate after listening to what she said, but unexpectedly she was not afraid at all. She said sarcastically, “You’re hopping around so lively and still have the energy to quarrel with me even with your bloody face, not to mention scold me whilst pointing at my nose. Looks like your injury isn’t very serious after all.”

“Why? Are you afraid? Are you trying to avoid the responsibility now?” Mu Sisi sneered proudly. “It’s useless, just now you weren’t afraid when you were beating me up, now it’s too late for you to be scared!”

The woman snorted and took a name card holder out of her handbag. She drew out a name card from the holder with her index and middle finger, then threw it onto the floor. “This is my name card. My name and contact number is on it, please speak to my lawyer when the moment comes.”

The woman took one last disdainful glance at them before turning around and left.

Only now did Mu Sisi notice that this woman’s attire and the handbag that she was carrying cost a fortune.

Mu Huaisheng did not pick up the name card, he bowed his head and saw that the front of the name card was facing upward. He could clearly see the name on it.

Gui Rongxuan.

When he first came, he did some research on the Eight Great Families of B City, but it was only limited to the most important people in the respective families, including the head of the family and his successor, and the backbones of the families.

For example, in the Qi Family, besides Qi Chengzhi whom he already knew, he also found out about Qi Zhongliang, Qi Zhongxun and Qi Chenglin, as for Qi Chengji who was serving in the army, he did not pay specific attention to him because Qi Chengji would not benefit him at all.

When he saw the three words “Gui Rongxuan”, Mu Huaisheng’s expression changed involuntarily. He remembered that he had seen this name before when he was reading on the information about the families. The name sounded familiar and probably belonged to the eldest daughter of the Gui Family.

However, he was unsure about it and would need to verify again.

“Gui Rongxuan? Who is that? She was showing off in front of me, did she think that she’s very powerful? This is the first time I’ve seen a person so unreasonable and narcissistic.” Mu Sisi was annoyed and uneasy, she lowered her head to look at the name card on the ground and the blood on her forehead dripped onto the card.

Mu Huaisheng was just about to say that there was nobody more unreasonable and narcissistic than her.

At that moment, he heard Mu Sisi’s scream and she was pointing on the floor. “Blood, my blood! My blood was dripping down!”

Mu Huisheng retracted his words when he was just about to say them aloud. He supported Mu Sisi with his hand and said with a deep voice, “Let’s go, I’ll bring you to the hospital first.”

Mu Sisi was still there crying hysterically. “Would my face be disfigured by it? She kept on hitting on the same spot and there is so much blood flowing out, surely there would be a scar. What should I do if there is a scar! Boo-hoo…”

Mu Huaisheng quietly supported her to walk, but after she took a step, she started howling again and leaned her body against him.

“What’s the matter now?” asked Mu Huaisheng impatiently.

“My leg, I sprained my ankle when I was walking down the stairs…” said Mu Sisi while crying.

Mu Huaisheng looked down and saw the ankle of her barefoot was severely swollen.

Mu Huaisheng heaved a sigh. He supported Mu Sisi with one hand and walked to her front, then he bent his body. “Let me carry you.”

“Boo-hoo,” Mu Sisi cried and climbed onto Mu Huaisheng’s back.

There are people around still gesticulating at Mu Sisi, but Mu Huaisheng could not care less about them. Even if he asked them to leave, they would not oblige.

However, the crowd was not too cold-hearted, they spontaneously made way for them when they saw Mu Huaisheng walking towards them.

After Mu Huaisheng walked out of the crowd, he suddenly remembered that he was sending Ruan Danchen back just now. He did not have time to inform her when he saw Mu Sisi getting hit by someone.

After he thought of it, he tried to search for her by looking around. He stopped abruptly when he saw Ruan Danchen standing quietly at the top of the stairs of the office building. She was looking at them at a distance from the crowd, he was unable to tell her mood and what she was thinking now.

Her expression was especially calm when she caught Mu Huaisheng’s eyes, she glimpsed at Mu Sisi coolly and nodded at him, then she turned around and entered the office building.

Mu Huaisheng stopped looking at her. He quietly carried Mu Sisi to the passenger seat of his car, then he took another glance at the office building’s entrance before getting in his car. He took a box of tissues out of the glove compartment and handed it over to Mu Sisi. “Wipe your blood first.”

“I’m not wiping, I’m going to the hospital to examine my wound and let the hospital staff take my photo. I will sue that woman. When we are handing in the evidence, I want the judge to see how severely I’ve been beaten up by her!” said Mu Sisi, fuming with rage.

Mu Huaisheng remained silent, he simply threw the box of tissues to her side, she could choose whether to wipe or not as she pleased.

…

…

When Ruan Danchen entered the office, she saw that Song Yu was back. She slid toward Song Yu in her wheeled chair and said, “Mu Sisi came and found you just now?”

The incidence of Mu Sisi stripping nude to seduce Qi Chengzhi was on the entertainment news, even the people who were not close to Song Yu knew about it, let alone Ruan Danchen.

“How did you find out?” asked Song Yu in astonishment. She was back for some time already, Mu Sisi should have been back by the time Ruan Danchen returned.

“I saw her downstairs a moment ago.” Ruan Danchen then told Song Yu about the incident that happened.

Song Yu snorted while shaking her head. “That Mu Sisi has such a big head, she offends people everywhere. She hasn’t found out about Gui Rongxuan’s status? She has offended her, if Mu Sisi really wants to sue her, the Gui Family will not tolerate her and let the Mu Family take advantage of them. Even if Mu Huaisheng knows of Gui Rongxuan’s status, but Mu Sisi has already offended her. The Mu Family may be unaffected yet, but so long as Mu Sisi is staying here, it would be very hard for her to blend into the upper class.”

Although Gui Rongxuan had spoken ill about Qi Chengyue and was overheard by her before, but it was the norm in this social circle and it was of mutual understanding that people would badmouth others, especially at the place where women gathered.

However, when they meet each other, they would treat each other politely. Even if their speech may contain sarcasm or barbs, but never did they burn bridges or hit each other physically. The situation that Mu Sisi was involved in today was very improbable to happen.

Even if they could not avoid each other, they would try to be on good terms, otherwise, one of them would surely be unable to survive in society.

This city was Gui Rongxuan’s domain, it was obvious who would win in a fight between Mu Sisi and Gui Rongxuan.

Ruan Danchen went to get a cup of water because her mouth was dry as she felt tired after describing the incident to Song Yu.

She was walking back with a cup in her hand and pouted. “According to her character, sooner or later she would lose out. Today she was considered unlucky to be taught a lesson by Gui Rongxuan. Hopefully, she would learn from it, but it is unlikely based on what I saw just now. She thought that only she could bully others and nobody could bully her. She wouldn’t think that was her fault according to her attitude. She was threatening to sue Gui Rongxuan and get her revenge. She even thought that Mu Huaisheng didn’t have to apologize for her.”

Song Yu shook her head and said with a smile, “It was rare to see Mu Sisi conceding, but this has nothing to do with us, we just have to stand aside and watch the course of events.”

…

…

Mu Huaisheng brought Mu Sisi to the Chutian Hospital. Initially, he wanted to bring her to the nearest hospital as Mu Sisi was losing a significant amount of blood and the wound seemed severe, but Mu Sisi refused stubbornly because she did not trust those hospitals and said that Chutian Hospital had excellent facilities, famous doctors and also suited her status.
