Bullied

Yu Huiyin's words were like blades that sliced through the hearts of the women present. It was true that the majority of the women present were unhappy with the fact that Xie Jingyu had married a commoner, but they knew that they could do nothing about it - they were already married!

Most of the women were feeling slightly dejected, but not to the point where they wished to make things difficult for Yu Huiyin.

They were, after all, not too familiar with Xie Jingyu, and thus, they were not too upset about not being able to marry him.

However, the three women who had stepped forward were all very eager to be seen by Xie Jingyu. They were smitten with his appearance and grace; they knew that he was the richest man in the country, and that he was also amongst the most handsome men.

He was the most sought after bachelor in the country, and these three women had done many things previously to be noticed by Xie Jingyu.

Now that they had been invited to a matchmaking party with him, they had been over the moon. However, the party itself was like getting a hammer smashed in their faces. He was already married!

Yu Huiyin did not like the three women who were trying to intimidate her. She understood that they were dissatisfied with having been summoned to a matchmaking party only to find out that their partner was unavailable, but it did not mean they should blame it on her.

She had been tricked, okay? She was not the reason for this strange marriage. Many of them were looking at her as if she was a seductress, a vixen, but she had really done nothing to seduce him. All she did was save his life.

Yu Huiyin was not in a mood to cause problems. She understood too little of the high-end society, and she was even unaware of her husband's identity.

So after saying her words and successfully shutting up the women, she turned her back and started walking away.

She had walked three steps before she suddenly felt a strange feeling of some kind of liquid being dropped on top of her head.

The scent of red wine wafted into her nose, as it plummeted down her body, staining her white shirt red.

Turning around, Yu Huiyin's eyes were no longer filled with the same laid back manner from before. They were cold, ruthless, and calm.

Looking at the woman who was now standing in front of her with an empty wine glass and a smile on her face, Yu Huiyin took a few steps towards her.

Slap!

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Four slaps landed on the woman's face, each one with more power than the previous.

Not feeling satisfied, Yu Huiyin also picked a glass of wine and tossed it all at the swollen face in front of her.

"Here I was, thinking that you were socialites, young ladies of prominent families! That you were taught from young how to behave and be a role model for the nation's young women!

"It is undoubtedly an eye-opener to see you lose control of yourself to the point of splashing me with red wine.

"Although I am from a humble background, I know that one has to pay back what one receives, and in this case, I have to pay back two-fold. That is the least curtesy I can do for such noble ladies as yourself!"

Yu Huiyin's voice was laced with sarcasm and irony. Everyone who heard it could feel how she was mocking them, and while they frowned in unhappiness, they could say nothing against her logic.

This woman had indeed lost all her bearing and all her education from growing up. No matter how upset one became, it was not allowed to lose control of themselves, but this woman had, and she had to face her own punishment.

The woman was stunned, tears were streaming down her cheeks, and her makeup was ruined, alongside her luxurious dress.

While Yu Huiyin also had dirty clothes, her head was held high, and she did not seem bothered by it at all. Her eyes were filled with arrogance and dominance, and it was at this moment that the other women started to understand that although she was a commoner, she was not a simple figure.

The woman who was drenched in red wine had swollen cheeks and she covered her face with her hands as she ran from the hall, alongside her two friends, all of them fleeing from Yu Huiyin, however in their hearts they were unresigned with this outcome.

They were not willing to back down either; they would continue to fight for Xie Jingyu!

Just as Yu Huiyin was about to ask one of the maids for the way to the washroom, Xie Jingyu and Old Master Xie returned to the hall.

Xie Jingyu's eyes instantly landed on Yu Huiyin, and the moment they did, they trembled slightly, his mood turning turbulent, and the temperature dropping drastically alongside his mood.

The women began shivering in fear, they could feel the dense atmosphere that appeared, and all of them held their breath in fear.

They knew that Xie Jingyu was not a friendly person, but they still wished to marry him.

Now they finally understood just how dangerous he really was.

Xie Jingyu went to Yu Huiyin's side and found a tissue that he used to clean her face with.

"What happened to you?" he asked, his voice was emotionless, the aura he excluded not at all loosening up, but his actions were immensely gentle.

"I was bullied," Yu Huiyin said, sharing her grievances to her husband, but then on second thought, she was reminded that he would not be always there, so she continued, "but don't worry, I bullied them back. They ran away crying."
