Chapter 219: Chapter 219 A Group of Bullies_1
 

A fresh and pleasant masculine scent hit her nose as her face rested against his body, feeling the steady rise and fall of his chest.

The solidness of his body unexpectedly gave her a sense of security.

Her thoughts were interrupted when a muscular arm wrapped around her waist, allowing her to lean on him, using his body as her support, shielding her from everything.

Jian Yufei lifted her head in surprise, only to see his firm jaw and the slight movement of his throat.

“All of you are bullying one woman, and you don’t feel ashamed?” Xiao Lang scanned the crowd with a cold look.

“Who are you?” Xu Man, seeing a handsome man now supporting Jian Yufei, felt her suppressed anger surging up again.

She was just one step away from making that bitch Jian Yufei kneel down!

Clenching her fists in anger, she didn’t want to give in

Xiao Lang glanced at her, a cold smirk on his lips. His handsome and deep features were calm and noble, like a celestial being tangled in the mortal world by mistake.

“Who I am is not important. I just don’t like it when you bully people,” he responded.

Xu Man gritted her teeth in retaliation, “Who’s bullying someone? Jian Yufei started nonsense and disrespected us. Everyone knows she’s the one in the wrong. We asked her to kneel and apologize, did we do something wrong? You look decent, you’re not a bad person. Don’t be fooled by her innocent and pitiful appearance!”

Xiao Lang’s expression remained calm. “Since you said she started nonsense, can you explain how?”

“She knocked over my drink for no reason and stained the dress of the deputy mayor’s daughter. I slapped her as a lesson, but instead of admitting her mistake, she slapped me back. Isn’t this her fault?”

Xiao Lang smirked, although his smile was cold.

“So, because she stained the deputy mayor’s daughter’s dress, you demanded her to kneel and apologize.”

His words were laden with hidden mockery as Yan Yue used her father’s status as the deputy mayor to oppress a mere waitress.

In today’s society, there are many people who take advantage of their power to bully others.

Many offspring of officials and wealthy people think they are above everyone else because of their backgrounds. The internet is full of reports about such cases, and many powerful people have fallen because of them.

In the banquet hall right now, there was no journalist, no one standing up for Jian Yufei, so they didn’t worry about the matter being exposed.

However, the sudden appearance and uttering of this sensitive topic by this man, caused everyone in the room to furrow their brows slightly.

Unaware of the implications, Xu Man raised her chin and haughtily retorted, “That’s right, does she think she can casually bully the daughter of Deputy Mayor Yan? Not only that, she slapped me too! Does she know who I am, daring to hit me! Making her kneel and apologize to us today is letting her off easy!”

A glint of coldness flashed in Xiao Lang’s eyes.

Xu Man thought that now he knew of Yan Yue’s identity, he wouldn’t continue to speak up for Jian Yufei.

Unexpectedly, his face suddenly darkened, and he coldly said, “Indeed, a group of people who bully others with their power, what an eye-opener for me today! Even if Jian Yufei is at fault, as long as she is willing to apologize, you shouldn’t be so relentless, forcing her to kneel in front of so many people. You all should be well educated, so I think you understand the meaning of repaying evil with kindness.”

Jian Yufei furrowed her brows anxiously; she was deeply moved that Xiao Lang had stepped in to save her.
