My Wife, She Can Really Throw a Punch
When women fight, there's no technique—just hair-pulling and face-scratching, aimed at causing serious damage.
Sheng Xiangsi watched with alarm, wanting to step in and help.
"Where are you going?" Fu Hanjiang quickly grabbed her, disapproving. "This is her personal matter. Are you sure she wants you to know?"
This made Sheng Xiangsi hesitate.
"Let go of her!"
Just then, a man came rushing out, grabbing Bai Ran's arm and pulling her away. His handsome face was half filled with anger, half with mockery.
"Bai Ran, don't you have any dignity left? Acting like a shrew!"
"..."
Bai Ran was stunned, her eyes red and hair disheveled, glaring at the man like a ghost.
"Si Zhengze! How long are you going to keep this up?"
She pointed at the woman beside him. "A new one already? This time she's old enough to be your mother!"
"Who are you calling old?"
The woman was not pleased. Seizing the opportunity while Si Zhengze held Bai Ran, she slapped Bai Ran hard.
"Old? Mother? This slap is for teaching you some manners!"
The slap was strong, turning Bai Ran's face to the side.
Si Zhengze frowned, about to say something when Bai Ran suddenly broke free and lunged at the woman.
"Didn't have enough earlier?"
Bai Ran grabbed the woman's hair.
"Ah... Si Zhengze!"
"Bai Ran!" Si Zhengze hastily pulled her away. "Stop it!"
"Humph!"
The woman sneered. "See what happens when you hit me!"
She looked Bai Ran up and down with disdain. "So what if you're young? If you can't keep a man, it's all for nothing..."
Sheng Xiangsi couldn't watch anymore and tried to step in again.
"Wait!" Fu Hanjiang stopped her again.
"Let go!" This time, Sheng Xiangsi was furious. "Can't you see? They're ganging up on Bai Ran!"
"Ganging up?" Fu Hanjiang smirked meaningfully, pointing at the man. "He's Si Zhengze."
"Huh?" Sheng Xiangsi was puzzled. "You know him?"
"Sort of. Not well."
Fu Hanjiang continued, "I've done business with the Si family. This Si Zhengze is married."
He had even attended the wedding.
"But his private life is notorious."
Though married, he didn't respect his wife and was known for his indiscretions.
Fu Hanjiang sighed softly, "Your friend, does she know Si Zhengze is married? If she knows and still gets involved, forgive my bluntness... she brought this on herself."
This...
It was a lot to take in, and Sheng Xiangsi struggled to process it.
But she had to deal with the immediate situation first!
She glanced around and spotted a small flower bed outside the 'Bowl of Porridge' shop, lined with stones.
Sheng Xiangsi quickly walked over, picked up a stone, and marched towards Bai Ran.
"Xiangsi!"
Fu Hanjiang was alarmed, suddenly reminded of the time Xiangsi had hit a thug with half a brick and ended up in the police station!
Without another word, he hurried after her!
'Bang!'
At the hotel entrance, Sheng Xiangsi raised the stone and smashed it against the pillar, shouting.
"Stop!"
The loud noise made the three stop and look up.
Bai Ran froze, her eyes turning even redder. "Xiangsi..."
Si Zhengze looked at her. "Your friend?"
"Why ask?"
Sheng Xiangsi raised the stone, pointing at him, her almond-shaped eyes wide with anger. "Let her go! Try touching her again!"
She grabbed the older woman with her other hand and smiled slightly. "Guess if this stone in my hand is just for show?"
"..."
The woman was taken aback but laughed. "Who are you scaring? Think I'm easily scared..."
"She's not scaring you."
As they spoke, Fu Hanjiang arrived, leisurely stepping onto the platform.
He glanced at Si Zhengze, then pointed at the older woman.
In a soft voice, "Don't doubt it, my wife, she can really throw a punch."
His wife...?
Sheng Xiangsi was surprised and looked at Fu Hanjiang. Did he forget they were divorced?
Seeing her look over, Fu Hanjiang smiled and asked softly, "Is the stone too heavy? Want me to help?"
Sheng Xiangsi frowned and looked away. "I can do it myself."
The older woman: ??
Where did these two lunatics come from?
"Mr. Fu."
Though not familiar, Si Zhengze knew Fu Hanjiang. Seeing Sheng Xiangsi and Bai Ran, he realized Bai Ran knew Fu Hanjiang's wife?
He didn't dare offend Fu Hanjiang, but this was too embarrassing.
With a forced smile, he said, "Mr. Fu, this is my private matter. There's no need for you to get involved, right?"
He let go of Bai Ran.
"Besides, she started it."
Bai Ran stumbled back a few steps.
"Ranran!"
Sheng Xiangsi hurried to support her. Fu Hanjiang took the stone from her hand, finally relaxing.
Girls shouldn't be handling stones. They might hurt themselves.
He was annoyed with Si Zhengze, bringing trouble to Xiangsi.
He glared at Si Zhengze. "Aren't you leaving?"
"..."
Si Zhengze hesitated, frowned at Bai Ran, and said, "Mr. Fu, goodbye... Let's go!"
He spoke to the woman.
"Wait for me!"
The woman chased after Si Zhengze, holding his arm affectionately.
Ugh! Fu Hanjiang sneered.
Though many men in their circle were like Si Zhengze, he still looked down on them.
Bai Ran, glaring at Si Zhengze's back, was filled with hatred.
"Ranran."
Sheng Xiangsi supported her. "Do you need to go to the hospital for your injuries?"
"No." Bai Ran shook her head wearily. "I'm fine."
They were just minor injuries.
The hospital could treat her physical wounds, but not her deeply hurt heart.
"Let me take you home then."
Sheng Xiangsi didn't insist further.
Bai Ran, exhausted, nodded. "Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome."
They got into Fu Hanjiang's car and took Bai Ran back to City Pearl. Sheng Xiangsi escorted Bai Ran inside while Fu Hanjiang waited in the car.
"Ranran."
Sheng Xiangsi treated her visible wounds briefly, hesitated several times, and finally spoke.
"It's not my place to interfere in your personal matters. But Fu Hanjiang said, Si Zhengze is married..."
"?" Bai Ran's eyes flickered, and she opened her mouth but said nothing.
"Ranran."
Since she started, Sheng Xiangsi continued, "Also, Fu Hanjiang said, Si Zhengze has a very chaotic private life, not picky at all. The woman in the morning and the woman at night aren't the same..."
Suddenly, Bai Ran closed her eyes.
Tears fell down.
