10 She Will Hate Him! (1/2)
Just as Nuwa's enraged voice fell, everyone became silent.
Nuwa was huffing while glaring at everyone with bloodshot eyes. She felt devasted and hurt. They had touched the most taboo topic. Since childhood, what she hated the most was calling her cursed and monster because of her rare eye colors. Even her biological parents dumped her...
Receiving Nuwa's hard slap, the spoiled-rotten Zi Yun was shocked and frozen for five seconds, totally unmoving. What had just taken place was totally out of her scope of understanding. She had always been treated like a pampered princess in her family. Though Zi Yun's family was not n.o.ble, her father was a govt. official. Moreover, she was the legitimate wife's born daughter. So, she was a prodigy of bullying.
As soon as the reality had finally dawned on her, she felt a scorching pain coming from both cheeks. The pain felt like someone had wielded a sharp knife and slashed her cheeks cruelly and after that half of a bowl of chili paste was rubbed onto the wounds. The burning pain reached her eyes as her eyes turned into scarlet. She touched her cheeks with both hands. Soon, huge droplets of tears were foaming in the corner of her eyes as they finally start falling.
”Aaaaaa.....”
*sob* *sob* *sob*
”S-she...s-lapped...me...”
*sob* *sob* *sob*
As she started crying pitifully while stuttering, everyone finally snapped back to reality. They scowled at Nuwa with hatred and fury which evidently embedded in their eyes, where a trace of disbelief was also present.
”Y-you b*tch. How dare you touch my second cousin with those dirty hands. Today, I am gonna kill you.”
It was a hysterical shriek that was coming from the green robbed boy as he glared at Nuwa with a hideous expression. He pushed Nuwa as she tripped and fell backward. He then ran towards Zi Yun and started to console her while giving daggers at Nuwa. Soon others come and make a confrontation mob around Nuwa as they began to whack her.
They were slapping Nuwa continuously. Even though she was. .h.i.t, she didn't groan in pain. She just keeps tolerating while gritting her teeth.
”You dare to insult her you s.l.u.t”, thwack one of the boys while grabbing her hair.
The sudden action made Nuwa changed into a pained expression which certainly pleased them. Looking at her disgustingly, they nonstop hit and cursed her.
The red-haired boy, Ah Chen, suddenly ran towards to Bai Qaing and shook him while whispering,
”Master, I think it's the high time for you to stop them.”
Ah Chen was Bai Qiang's childhood friend and most loyal subordinate whose family was working under Bai family for almost five generations. Even though he was just a mere subordinate, Bai Qiang never treated him like a slave. People called his young master cold-hearted and arrogant, only he knew that deep inside, his young master was an emotional and kind-hearted person. So he could sense a bit of his young master's feelings for Nuwa, even though Bai Qiang himself wasn't aware of it.
But the way he was persuading her by extreme bullying was wrong. He tried to tell him a lot of times, but the stubborn guy never agreed. See, the situation was getting out of hand now.
This time he shook Bai Qiang firmly as he muttered louder,
”Young master, please stop them or things will go out of control.”
The most shocked person was no one but Bai Qiang. All this time, he rooted at the spot in a daze. Never in his dreams, he thought that she would react this way and strike back since all this time, they had been bullying her while she kept her mouth shut. He then glanced at Nuwa who's face was swollen like a pig and hair was messier than before. He stared at her with a different face, a face full of guilt and apology, as he finally waved his hand to order everyone to halt and he loudly ordered them,
”Stop with this.”
Sensing his sudden outcry, the circle was broke as everyone halted from their actions and distanced from Nuwa as their gaze finally fell on the young master. Staring strangely, they went towards his side and started to reasoning with him.
”Young master.. see what she this lowly girl had done. Please punish her.”, demanded one of Nuwa's mugger who was grabbing her hair.
”Yes master, please punish her,” said everyone in unison as they were looking at the young master expectingly.
Nuwa slowly raised her head as she looked at the young master with disgust. She found his action funny, defending her like a hero saves beauty, while he was the main villain who made her life difficult. She tried to get up even though she knew there was no energy left. Soon she stood up on her wobbly legs as she slowly walked towards her tent, even though her body was shaking violently due to unimaginable pain.
