i Yinxue's slap was both swift and fierce, catching Lin Xiaoru completely off guard and leaving her stunned.
Her ears ringing, Lin Xiaoru couldn't even make out what i Yinxue said afterward.
Yet, even though she couldn't hear, the fury in her heart didn't diminish one bit because she missed i Yinxue's words!
Lin Xiaoru glared at i Yinxue, her eyes burning with flas of rage. She had never been slapped in the face in her whole life!
Not even by her parents. Get full chapters from NoveI★Fire
But this woman, i Yinxue, had the audacity to smack her across the face in public!
And the searing pain suggested that her half-numb face wouldn't recover lightly.
Lin Xiaoru was absolutely furious!
"You dare to slap ?!"
Lin Xiaoru glared at i Yinxue, grinding her teeth as she spoke!
i Yinxue glanced at Lin Xiaoru disdainfully, not taking her seriously at all. After slapping her, she walked over to Mu Jinyu.
"I heard you were having so trouble here, so I called a few dia reporters to co over and do a report on your new product!"
i Yinxue ignored Lin Xiaoru, saying to Mu Jinyu with a smile and a hint of grievance in her eyes.
i Yinxue didn't take Lin Pharmaceutical seriously. Although huge, and dominant in Jiangnan Province's dical field, even extending its reach to River City and holding its own against the Jiang and Xu Families, she didn't care about any of that.
After all, what kind of business had she done before washing her hands clean?
It was a business of licking blood off the edge of a knife!
i Yinxue wasn't playing the sa ga as them. Lin Pharmaceutical tried to develop in River City once, and when they tried to default on their debts to her and the Jiang Family, she forced them into a loss of several billion and made them retreat from River City with their tails between their legs!
It could be said that if it were in Jiangnan Province, i Yinxue certainly couldn't touch the Lin Family.
But in River City, other than the Jiang Family who owed her a debt of gratitude, the Du Family who were involved in political circles, and the last secretive ancient martial Chen Family, i Yinxue feared no one!
The ringing in Lin Xiaoru's ears finally started to subside, and she stared dead at i Yinxue, nearly driven mad with fury.
Never before had anyone dared to treat her like this, slapping her without any fear of the consequences and continuing to chat and laugh with others!
"You guys better go..."
Lin Xiaoru, utterly infuriated, was about to call her bodyguards to deal with i Yinxue. She wanted to utterly humiliate this woman, who had driven her to insane jealousy, in front of everyone!
However, when Chen Xuyang heard the beginning of Lin Xiaoru's sentence, he was terrified and quickly covered her mouth. Ignoring her struggles and anger, he whispered in her ear:
"Are you crazy? That's i Yinxue! What can your bodyguards do to her? If you lay a hand on her, we'll be bagged and drowned in the river tonight!"
"What? She's i Yinxue?!"
Chen Xuyang's warning felt like a bucket of cold water poured over Lin Xiaoru's head, instantly cooling her blood-boiled brain!
After learning of i Yinxue's identity, Lin Xiaoru dared not continue to order her bodyguards to confront i Yinxue.
It was like asking for death!
However, although Lin Xiaoru didn't dare target i Yinxue outright, being slapped for no reason—if she didn't respond at all—it would be as if the Lin Family was afraid of i Yinxue?!
"Fine, fine, fine, i Yinxue, you're really sothing. I've already said, whoever cos to support Jinyu Group today, my Lin Group will ban them outright. You're doing great!"
Lin Xiaoru suppressed her crazed thoughts and laughed angrily, "Starting today, all business of your Snow-hidden Group will be targeted by my Lin Group, and we'll see who laughs last!"
After dropping the fierce declaration, Lin Xiaoru looked around with a gloomy face and said coldly, "Who else today wants to slap Lin Xiaoru's face? Who wants to support Mu Jinyu, co out and let see! Huh?"
Those she swept with her gaze, Wang Huanhuan, Li Shuyue, the Gu Family, Zhang Qiuhuai, Wen Rou's Second Aunt, all kept their heads down like cicadas in winter, not daring to make a sound, but they looked at Mu Jinyu with schadenfreude in their eyes, filled with spiteful pleasure!
But, as soon as Lin Xiaoru's words had fallen,
Soone imdiately responded:
"Us!"
Lin Xiaoru, upon hearing the voice, felt like she was about to explode with rage. She had just made a fierce statent, and now soone had imdiately jumped out to challenge her!
She whipped her head around, followed the sound, and stared wide-eyed at the newcor while she shrieked hysterically:
"Who is it?!"
Her roar had barely subsided when Lin Xiaoru turned her head and, upon seeing the newcors clearly, her expression beca sowhat stupified.
She saw a large group of people escorting two elderly n in traditional attire, approaching at a leisurely pace. Although they seed advanced in age, they emanated vitality and an imposing aura that seed to co naturally to those long accustod to a position of authority.
Lin Xiaoru instantly recognized the identity of the two elders.
The Xu Family's Head, Xu Tianzheng.
The Jiang Family's Head, Jiang Wangchuan!
The Four Great Families of River City, and now two of the major families had co to support Mu Jinyu!
This turned Lin Xiaoru's face extrely unpleasant!
Zhang Qiuhuai, Chen Xuyang, Wang Huanhuan, Li Shuyue, Gu Zhengxin, and Gu Shiqian too had expressions as unpalatable as if they had eaten dung after the appearance of the two elders!
In River City's business circles, aside from individuals like Wen Rou's Second Aunt who couldn't reach a certain level, who wouldn't recognize these two giants?!
Zhang Qiuhuai and Chen Xuyang felt a chill in their hearts, never expecting that Mu Jinyu's product launch would bring these two elders out to offer their support!
You should know that with their status, even for very good friends, whether it was a grand opening or any banquet, they generally wouldn't attend in person, preferring to send their eldest sons to present gifts on their behalf.
But today, a re product launch of Jinyu Group had stirred them to action, summoning core mbers of the Xu Family and Jiang Family to co and throw their support behind Mu Jinyu!
This left them feeling incredulous, their minds in a daze!
The arrival of i Yinxue had already been tough for them to swallow; Xu Tianzheng and Jiang Wangchuan leading their family's core mbers to support Mu Jinyu was like a bucket of ice water poured over their heads, turning their heated hearts, which had been reveling in Mu Jinyu's misfortune, ice-cold!
"It's impossible! Why would they support this guy? What skills does he have that he could get the Xu Family and Jiang Family to curry favor with him?!"
Yes, curry favor. From the showing of Xu Tianzheng and Jiang Wangchuan, they could see they were ingratiating themselves with Mu Jinyu, which was beyond belief!
Wang Huanhuan felt a chill in her heart as well, knowing full well that Xu Tianzheng's attitude towards Mu Jinyu was quite unusual, but seeing i Yinxue and Jiang Wangchuan also coming to support him...
She suddenly felt that coming here today to watch Mu Jinyu's farce might have been the wrong decision!
Li Shuyue and Gu Shiqian, among others, were also trembling with fear!
The ban imposed by Lin Xiaoru on behalf of Lin Group was powerful against them, but it was nothing to the Xu Family and Jiang Family!
Lin Xiaoru was using her head to enforce a ban on them!
If the three of them joined forces, they might even turn around and ban Lin Pharmaceutical!
Just when everyone was petrified into silence, the arrival of a few more individuals nearly scared them enough to wet their pants!
