Chapter 325: Girlfriend!
"That's right, we firmly resist the evil forces to the end!"
"You just wait to be thrown in jail!"
Watching those university students scolding in a clamor, Hao Jian's lips curled into a sneer, "Then please hurry up, because I'm not afraid of trouble. And my warning is only given once, if anyone else acts as foolishly as this fatty, I wouldn't mind making you continue to spit blood."
Those university students really felt like spitting blood; they couldn't beat Hao Jian in a fight, and they couldn't out-curse him either. Now all they could do was bear the humiliation and suffer in silence.
Meanwhile, Hao Jian didn't bother with them any longer and quickly walked toward Guo Shuxian and the others. Without saying a second word, he slapped Wang Xinling across the face.
The slap stupefied Wang Xinling, who collapsed to the ground. She stared blankly at Hao Jian for a while before suddenly coming to her senses and hysterically screamed, "Who the hell are you, daring to hit me?" Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire
Hao Jian helped Guo Shuxian up, and as soon as she stood, she buried herself in Hao Jian's arms, overwhelmed with humiliation and distress.
Seeing Guo Shuxian twitching continuously in his arms, Hao Jian's eyes also hardened as he glared at Wang Xinling and the others.
Intimidated by Hao Jian's glare, Wang Xinling and the others couldn't help feeling a bit scared.
But upon thinking that the "slut" had seduced her husband, and standing on the side of right with so many people around, Wang Xinling believed the man wouldn't dare to do anything crazy and thus felt emboldened enough to say haughtily, "Where did this loser come from, trying to stand up for someone else? Are you even worthy?"
"Well then, you can come and try to see if I'm worthy," Hao Jian gestured with a hooked finger, inviting them over.
Wang Xinling and the others weren't fools—going over there would be asking for a beating.
"Damn it, a bunch of old whores taking advantage of my absence to bully my girlfriend, you're really asking for it, aren't you?" Hao Jian said fiercely.
Girlfriend?
Guo Shuxian immediately looked up, dumbfounded, forgetting to cry as she stared at Hao Jian.
"Girlfriend? She's just a vixen, and you've been cuckolded without even knowing it, you cuckold!" Wang Xinling sneered in triumph, finding it hilarious that the loser was still protecting Guo Shuxian despite being cuckolded.
"Are you talking about your fool of a husband? You think I don't know he's been harassing my girlfriend? She told me everything, about some man who looks like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, thinking he can make me a cuckold? Do you really think my girlfriend would fancy such trash?" Hao Jian derisively mocked.
"More like a field mouse," Guo Shuxian corrected weakly.
"Oh, a field mouse, I forgot," acknowledged Hao Jian with a nod.
"My husband might not be much to look at, but he's a high official. Isn't his type just what a little vixen like her would want the most? I don't know how many of her kind I've forced away," Wang Xinling mocked coldly, her expression full of pride.
"A high official? How high? Call him over for me to see!" Hao Jian said with contempt.
"You don't need to tell me that, I'm going to call him anyway. You dare to hit me? I'll make you pay with your life!" said Wang Xinling spitefully. She then took out her phone and called her husband, "Huo Yuandong, I've been hit here at Galaxy Era Plaza, if you don't come over now, don't blame me for making a scene."
After hanging up, Wang Xinling wasn't ready to let it go and made another call, "Dad, it's me, I was hit. It was that whore's man who's seducing Huo Yuandong. My face is all swollen. I'm at Galaxy Era Plaza; come over and vent my anger."
Only then did Wang Xinling turn back to face Hao Jian and Guo Shuxian, a smug smile spreading across her face, "Kid, just you wait. My dad and my husband are both high-ranking officials in the Military Department. Once they get here, first I'll beat you into a cripple, then let them drag you to the military execution grounds for target practice!"
"Dare to hit me? I'll make your life miserable like it's nothing. You're not the kind of person who can afford to provoke me," snapped Hao Jian angrily.
"This woman is really unbearable," Hao Jian remarked to Guo Shuxian.
"You can say that again," agreed Guo Shuxian with a bitter smile, for she found Wang Xinling just as offensive.
It wasn't long before two men, one old and one young, appeared in the plaza and walked toward Wang Xinling.
On seeing them, Wang Xinling immediately became excited, "Dad, they are the ones who hit me!"
Huo Yuandong and Wang Hechen, seeing the vivid slap mark on Wang Xinling's face, looked displeased. They turned their gaze toward Hao Jian and Guo Shuxian, and upon seeing Guo Shuxian, they couldn't hide their surprise, soon followed by looks of awkwardness.
Wang Xinling might not have known who Guo Shuxian was, but they certainly did.
At this moment, Guo Shuxian also wore a cold smile as she looked at Huo Yuandong and Wang Hechen, clearly harboring a bellyful of anger.
Seeing this, Huo Yuandong and Wang Hechen immediately realized something was amiss. Huo Yuandong, even more upset, strode over to Wang Xinling, "What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing? Of course, it's catching an adulterer. I already know about your affair with this vixen. Huo Yuandong, you're quite something, aren't you? Our family helped you to the position you have today, and this is how you repay us—with an affair?" Wang Xinling not only gave Huo Yuandong a push but also said indignantly.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Miss Guo and I are just ordinary friends," Huo Yuandong retorted in annoyance. At this moment, Wang Xinling brought up this issue, not only humiliating him but also potentially angering Guo Shuxian. If things continued this way, he certainly wouldn't get off easily either.
"Ordinary friends? Then what about the messages you sent her? Saying you love her? Saying she's all that's in your mind, and that you are willing to give up everything for her, even if it's your family and your life?" Wang Xinling sneered with a mocking laugh.
"Ugh. That's just disgusting," Hao Jian made a face, as if he was about to throw up.
Hearing this, Huo Yuandong glared fiercely at Hao Jian, but Hao Jian still maintained a smiling, unconcerned expression.
"Don't make a scene here. That woman is the mayor; if we offend her, none of us will have a good outcome." At this time, Wang Hechen also realized the situation was bad and, to prevent Wang Xinling from causing further commotion, he could only step forward to play peacemaker, whispering in Wang Xinling's ear.
"The mayor?" Wang Xinling was also taken aback. The woman she had just hit was the mayor? No wonder, she thought Guo Shuxian looked familiar.
When Wang Xinling thought about how she had hit the mayor, she felt even more delighted. Now, she could boast about it for years when she went back.
"It's impossible that she's interested in Huo Yuandong; you've misunderstood. Hurry up and apologize to Guo Shuxian with me. Otherwise, our whole family will suffer," Wang Hechen scolded Wang Xinling. Knowing Guo Shuxian's status, how could she possibly take an interest in Huo Yuandong?
Firstly, Huo Yuandong was unattractive, looking like a Field Mouse, and secondly, his position was worlds apart from Guo Shuxian's.
"I won't go!" Wang Xinling said stubbornly, feeling that apologizing after having already hit someone would be too humiliating.
"You... sigh." Wang Hechen didn't know what else to say. Ever since she was a child, Wang Xinling had been spoiled and indulged in everything by Wang Hechen. This pampering had fostered her arrogant and headstrong character, leaving Wang Hechen at a loss on how to deal with her now.
Now that Wang Xinling refused to apologize, Wang Hechen didn't dare to force her and could only think of apologizing to Guo Shuxian himself later.
"I can stop bothering that woman, but that kid must die!" Wang Xinling suddenly pointed at Hao Jian, her eyes brimming with venom: "It's this guy who hit me just now!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuandong and Wang Hechen simultaneously cast icy, fierce glances at Hao Jian.
They might not be able to deal with Guo Shuxian, but how could they not handle a commoner like Hao Jian?
They knew all the prominent figures in Hua City. Anyone they didn't recognize was clearly not an important person.
Since he was a minor character, he wasn't worth their full attention; dealing with such a minor character was a matter of minutes for them.
So, Huo Yuandong walked towards Hao Jian, "Was it you who hit my wife?"
"That's right, it was me," Hao Jian nodded, but still with a teasing smirk on his face.
"Do you know who I am?" Huo Yuandong's face harbored an invisible killing intent, Hao Jian's teasing smile completely infuriating him.
Hao Jian standing with Guo Shuxian had already irked him, since he was the first to set his sights on Guo Shuxian. It was bad enough that Guo Shuxian showed no interest in him, but to fancy such a scoundrel was a huge blow to Huo Yuandong's pride. And now, Hao Jian had beaten his wife, which completely snapped Huo Yuandong's nerves.
To have his woman taken and his wife beaten, how could he endure this?
"I don't know, but I was quite looking forward to it after hearing from your wife that you were some high-ranking official. But now, looking at it..." Hao Jian paused mid-sentence, intentionally glancing at the insignia on Huo Yuandong's shoulder and shook his head mockingly, "I'm rather disappointed!"
Huo Yuandong's pupils constricted. This guy actually dared to mock his rank?
"You're blind, can't you read badges? My husband is a company commander, in charge of more than a hundred soldiers!" Wang Xinling said contemptuously. In her eyes, Hao Jian was just feigning ignorance.
"Trash. You're not worth a second glance!" Hao Jian made a dismissive gesture. He really didn't take Huo Yuandong seriously.
"I'm giving you a chance. Kneel down and apologize, and I'll act like nothing happened. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died," Huo Yuandong threatened with a dark expression.
"Oh, Huo Yuandong, you really have a high opinion of yourself!" At that moment, Guo Shuxian, unable to watch any longer, burst out in an angry laugh as her expression soured.
"Miss Guo, I'll give you a satisfactory answer for today's incident. But before that, I must take him away," Huo Yuandong said expressionlessly.
