Chapter 17 - You Must Trust Me (1/2)

Xie Jingyu looked at Yu Huiyin with cold eyes. The hostility was not meant for her, but for the one who had humiliated her in front of all the others.

Even the Grandfather was feeling guilty. It was because of his unneeded matchmaking party that she had been treated this badly.

But Yu Huiyin did not seem to care for it. As a person who lived in the slums and had to take almost any job she could get, she was used to being humiliated.

Many were jealous of her appearance, and thus she was often the target of others' ridicule and schemes.

This was also why she was forced to change jobs so often. She had encountered way worse than someone dumping a glass of red wine onto her head.

Sensing that Yu Huiyin was completely disregarding towards the situation, Xie Jingyu just turned even moodier. He could not help but hurt at the thought of her being mistreated by others.

Xie Jingyu's lips were tightly pursed, his eyes were brewing up a storm. ”You there,” he turned to look at a woman who was standing by his side, ”Who did this?”

”It... It was Bai Fengyun, Xin Yue'er, and Lin Rouyun.”

”The Bai, Xin, and Lin families. I will remember this!” he said, and with an angry expression, he took Yu Huiyin by the wrist and dragged her from the mansion, back into the car, and drove off in a hurry.

”Are you crazy?” Yu Huiyin could feel his anger coming from a long distance away, but she was of the impression that he was angry with her.

”I already told you that I do not know how to fit into the upper ranks of society,” she complained, ”I did not intend for it to get that serious, but I can't just let them take advantage of me.

”It was just a few slaps and some words. It was not my fault that they failed to be raised properly.”

Yu Huiyin said with a meek voice, her voice making her sound apologetic, but she was not willing to say sorry.

Xie Jingyu was fuming mad. She could feel it, even the atmosphere around him was so heavy that she did not dare speak.

As they arrived home at their modern mansion, Xie Jingyu once more took Yu Huiyin by the wrist and dragged her through the master bedroom, into the ensuite bathroom, and threw her into the shower.

He turned on the water and watched as Yu Huiyin was stunned to the ground, as the water splashed down her body, making her clothes stick to her body.

She was still wearing the white top from before, and as the water soaked it, turning it transparent, showing the cute white lace bra underneath.

”What do you think you are doing?!” Yu Huiyin was unhappy. Not only had he dragged her for so long, he even threw her in the shower and opened the tap, causing the shower head to rain water on top of her head!
