To her own husband, she was as hostile as an enemy! Yet with other n, she was all smiles, full of charm, and even let them take advantage of her!
Heh...
To be honest, Chen Yang had never seen a woman like this before.
Crucially, Xu Li didn't seem to care about the stares of the people around her, and the onlookers themselves acted as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
Wang Qu laughed jokingly, "Our boss is treating us to karaoke tonight. Want to join?"
"Karaoke?" Xu Li's eyes darted around as if she was hesitating about sothing.
Seeing this, Wang Qu leaned in and whispered sothing in her ear.
"You... you're awful!" Xu Li's cheeks flushed slightly as she pouted and shot Wang Qu a look.
Wang Qu grinned lecherously, his eyes burning with raw desire as he stared at Xu Li.
Chen Yang narrowed his eyes, remaining silent for the mont as he watched the situation unfold.
"Then it's settled. I'll pick you up before dinner!" Wang Qu declared confidently, his hands on his hips.
Xu Li shot Wang Qu a fierce glare but didn't give him an answer. Turning to walk into the shop, she said, "I'll go get your cigarettes and liquor."
Wang Qu lit a cigarette and ran a hand through his sparse hair, looking like a common thug as he smoked with a lazy air.
Soon, Xu Li returned with two cartons of cigarettes and four bottles of liquor.
Wang Qu took the items without any intention of paying. Instead, he reminded her cheekily, "It's a date. Don't stand up tonight."
"We'll see. I'll call you later," Xu Li replied noncommittally, clearly still hesitant.
Wang Qu didn't press the matter. He simply nodded and turned to leave.
Chen Yang took a cigarette from Yang Hu and took a slow drag. "You're leaving without paying for the cigarettes and liquor?"
Hm?
Wang Qu stopped and turned around in confusion, his brows furrowing as he stared at Chen Yang.
Xu Li imdiately blew up, transforming from a flirtatious woman into a vicious shrew. Glaring at Chen Yang, she scolded, "What's it to you? Stop being so damn nosy!"
"You're a married woman, yet you're flirting with another man right in front of everyone, letting him get handsy with you! Have you no sha? Or are you just shaless to the bone?"
Chen Yang had always been direct, and after seeing Xu Li's behavior, he certainly wasn't going to be polite.
"You..." Xu Li glared furiously at Chen Yang, her face flushing crimson as she ground her teeth. "Who the hell are you? How I act is none of your business! Get the hell away from !"
"I'll deal with you later," Chen Yang said, ignoring her. He shot a glance at Wang Qu. "First, pay the bill."
Wang Qu broke into a grin. He sauntered back and perched on the edge of a table with a cigarette dangling from his lips. "Kid, who do you think you are?" he asked with amusent. "You've got so nerve, ddling in my business."
"The cigarettes are two thousand a carton, and the liquor is one thousand a bottle. That's eight thousand in total," Chen Yang stated flatly.
Wang Qu was speechless.
It wasn't just him; many people in the crowd were dumbfounded. This was blatant extortion!
"Haha!" Wang Qu laughed, his amusent turning to fury. "Kid, have you ever even smoked this brand? It's a little over six hundred a carton, and you're charging two thousand?"
"At my store, they're two thousand," Chen Yang said indifferently, flicking the ash from his cigarette. "From the looks of it, this isn't your first ti taking things for free. Let's just say you've done this ten tis. That cos to eighty thousand."
Yang Hu grinned. "So, Mr. Wang, will that be card or cash?"
"Are you looking for trouble, kid?" Wang Qu growled, angrily stubbing out his cigarette and glaring nacingly at Chen Yang.
SNAP!
Chen Yang snapped his fingers.
Yang Hu moved in a flash. He shot forward like a bolt of lightning, grabbed Wang Qu by the neck, and slamd him down onto the table.
"Mr. Wang, card or cash?"
The slam left Wang Qu, a man in his pri, half-kneeling on the ground, struggling to recover.
Xu Li, who had been about to let loose another tirade, froze in place as if struck by lightning.
The bystanders, who had been pointing fingers and gloating just a second ago, were all dumbfounded, as if turned to stone.
Chen Yang held up two fingers and fixed his gaze on Wang Qu, gesturing toward Xu Li. "Second question," he began. "You knew she had a husband, yet you brazenly flirted with her and took liberties whenever you wanted?"
"Does this sort of despicable behavior actually feel enjoyable to you? Is it sothing to be proud of?" Chen Yang asked coolly, his eyes narrowed to slits.
His presence was sharp and imposing.
His gaze was ice-cold.
Just as he was regaining his senses, Wang Qu felt his limbs go stiff, his heart filled with an inexplicable terror.
But for an old rogue like him who had spent his life in the village, he still had a sliver of backbone. Despite the fear creeping into his heart, his words were defiant. "What's it to you? Besides, it just ans I'm charming. Of course I'm proud of it!"
BANG!
Yang Hu stomped his foot down, and Wang Qu's right shoulder blade broke with a sickening crack.
"Ahhh..."
Wang Qu's body went rigid as he let out a bloodcurdling scream that made everyone's eardrums ache.
The scene made everyone's eyes twitch. Cold sweat dripped down their backs, a chilling sensation spreading through them.
Who... who are these people?
Qiangzi's just like he was when we were kids. He'd get beaten up and wouldn't say a word about it to . I'd have to find out myself and ask him again and again before he'd finally admit it! He only ever reports the good news, never the bad.
Amidst the swirling smoke, Chen Yang seed lost in a mory. Then his gaze suddenly turned icy. "This ti, you don't have to say a thing. I'll find out myself. Even if I have to tear the earth apart, I will find every single person who has ever hurt you!"
Chen Yang stood up, his hands clasped behind his back, his eyes like fire.
He seed to be muttering to himself, but each word was like a clap of thunder, echoing through the air.
In an instant.
The temperature plumted.
The expressions of many neighbors changed drastically, and they began to slip away.
Wang Qu trembled with fear. He had never seen such a terrifying aura or such a chilling gaze in his entire life.
Inside the room, Zheng Qiang, who had rushed out after hearing the commotion, leaned against the wall. He clenched his fists and tilted his head back, fighting to keep the tears from falling.
The harsh reality of life had long since beaten all the fight out of him.
For years, he had lived a life worse than a dog's!
At this mont, the grievances that had been suppressed for so many years erupted from the depths of his heart!
Perhaps... this kind of life should have ended long ago.
At that thought, he felt a strange sense of relief. Wiping the tears from his face, he strode outside.
"Zheng Qiang, are you dead? Soone's about to be killed out here, and you're only just showing up?" Xu Li shrieked, pointing at him. "Look at the ss your friend made! You know who Wang Qu is! Hurry up and disown him so I don't get dragged into this!"
"Get lost!"
Xu Li was stunned. "What... what did you say?"
"I said get lost! Are you deaf?" Zheng Qiang said indifferently, staring straight into her eyes.
Xu Li moved to strike him, but Zheng Qiang sent her sprawling to the ground with a backhanded slap.
"You... you dare to hit ?" Xu Li gasped, clutching her face as she stared at Zheng Qiang in disbelief.
"You slut! I've wanted to hit you for a long ti!" Zheng Qiang stared down at her, his gaze dark. "I tolerated your behavior again and again, and you just got worse, you bitch! You're lucky I haven't killed you!"
"Fine! Fine!" Xu Li sneered. "Just you wait! I'll make sure your life is ruined and your family is destroyed!"
With that, she pulled out her phone to call her brother.
