After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 292 - 290: You’re Dead Meat!

Li Ruoshui was truly angry this time. She had not expected Shao Yang to be so despicable and shameless, to make such an excessive, bottomless request right in front of her.

Are those even words a human being could say? Besides, who I'm with, or to whom I give my most precious thing—what business is that of Shao Yang's? Why does this guy have to meddle in everything? He even acts all high and mighty about it, as if he were my elder or my husband. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was. Isn't he overstepping his bounds by a mile?

She had shown him respect once or twice, unwilling to cause a scene, but she never imagined he would push his luck to this extent. Li Ruoshui was absolutely livid!

She had always held a grudge against him for his past behavior. He acted like a passive-aggressive, scheming eunuch, lurking in the shadows to harass and even threaten her friends. If not for the good relationship between the Li and Shao families, which made a falling-out with Shao Yang inadvisable, she would have wanted nothing to do with such a person for the rest of her life.

"I'm telling you to get out of my sight. Right now. Immediately," Li Ruoshui said, pointing her slender hand toward the door, rudely giving him his marching orders.

This man is disgusting. To even look at him for a second longer would be an insult to myself.

Shao Yang stood speechless. The pain on his face had not subsided. Li Ruoshui had not held back with that slap; it was a blow struck from the peak of her fury. Her current attitude and tone struck him like another vicious blow. Judging by the look in her eyes, she wanted nothing more than to flay him alive on the spot.

"Ruoshui, you…" Shao Yang actually felt wronged, pushing all the blame onto Shen Fanyun.

In my memory, Li Ruoshui has always been so gentle and polite to me. When did she become so irritable and mercurial? And she actually hit me. She's like a completely different person. It must have been Shen Fanyun's doing. Otherwise, how could Li Ruoshui have changed so drastically? Doesn't Li Ruoshui realize that hitting me, Shao Yang, completely destroys the years of affection between us? How could she dare?

Shao Yang could not believe it. He did not want to believe that Li Ruoshui could one day despise him. For years, they had gotten along harmoniously, and she had never so much as raised her voice at him. That was proof enough of how much she valued him. So, how could she bear to lay a hand on me?

"It had to be you. You instigated her," Shao Yang turned on Shen Fanyun, scolding him arrogantly. "From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were no good, and I was right. Ruoshui is such a gentle girl, and you've influenced her to become this volatile. You're to blame for this."

Shen Fanyun tugged at his ear. Did I hear that right? Is this guy a complete moron? And here I am, just sitting on the sidelines doing nothing, and I get yelled at for no reason?

"Isn't this because of your own stupid mouth?" Shen Fanyun retorted, exhaling a cloud of smoke with an air of nonchalance. "Who Ruoshui wants to be with is her choice. What does that have to do with you? What right do you have to interfere and lecture her? Do you really think you're somebody? Ruoshui has a good temper. If it were me, I'd have beaten you to death by now! You're just a shameless degenerate with no sense of propriety or boundaries."

"You—you're being insolent!" Shao Yang warned sharply. "I'm from the Shao Family. How dare you speak to me like that? Do you have a death wish?"

For years, Shao Yang had lived a pampered life thanks to the prestige of the Shao Family. Everyone he met treated him with the utmost reverence. Since when did a peer have the right to point fingers and speak so impudently to him? Does this guy have a death wish? And what's with those hostile glares? What's he planning?

Shen Fanyun crushed his cigarette butt and stood up. "What did you just say?"

"I told you to show me some respect! If you don't clean up your foul mouth, be careful, or I'll…" Shao Yang still had not realized that compared to Li Ruoshui, Shen Fanyun was far more volatile. And Shen Fanyun had zero tolerance for self-righteous trash like him.

A swift slap sent Shao Yang staggering, nearly knocking him to the ground. Crimson blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"So what if my mouth is foul?" Shen Fanyun sneered. "Who do you think you are? Some imperial kinsman or noble scion who can't be criticized?"

SMACK!

Another resounding slap. Shao Yang, who had been pampered like a delicate flower by the Shao Family his whole life, was physically no match for Shen Fanyun. After two slaps, Shao Yang's head was ringing, and he could barely think straight.

SMACK!

Shen Fanyun landed a third slap. He grinned mockingly. "Still care about my disrespectful words? You stand here spouting arrogant nonsense, yet you have the gall to criticize others? Did you think everyone was going to coddle you? Hmm?"

Shen Fanyun grabbed Shao Yang by the neck. With just a slight squeeze, Shao Yang found it hard to breathe, feeling as if he would suffocate at any moment.

Where did this savage come from? His methods are so brutal! In all my life, no one has ever dared to treat me this way.

"I... I'm from the Shao Family! You... you..." Shao Yang tried to break free. Seeing that Shen Fanyun was unmoved, he had no choice but to appeal to Li Ruoshui. "Li Ruoshui, aren't you going to help me? Are you just going to stand there and watch this guy kill me? If something happens to me here, you, Li Ruoshui, and the entire Li family will be held responsible!" Shao Yang coughed violently, pointedly reminding her.

Li Ruoshui frowned and looked toward Shen Fanyun.

"Arrogant fools like him who don't know their place never learn unless you beat it into them," Shen Fanyun said. "But it's fine."

A meaningful smile touched Shen Fanyun's lips as he released Shao Yang. "Scram," he said coldly.

Shao Yang staggered to his feet, casting two deep glances at Li Ruoshui, but she pointedly turned her head away. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Fine, Ruoshui! You forced my hand!" Shao Yang muttered. Unable to bear it a moment longer, he turned and stormed out.

Li Ruoshui let out a long sigh of relief. It was so much more relaxing without that disgusting man hanging around. Still, knowing Shao Yang's personality, he definitely would not let this go.

"I let him go on purpose," Shen Fanyun said with a slight grin. "How else can we beat him so thoroughly that he never dares to bother you again, unless we wait for him to retaliate first?"

Li Ruoshui nodded, feeling a little guilty and worried. "I... I've caused you trouble again, haven't I?"

"You have," Shen Fanyun nodded. "Quite a lot of trouble, actually. My dear Ruoshui, you just might be the death of me!"

"Ah?" Li Ruoshui panicked. Her face filled with self-recrimination, and her eyes reddened as her composure crumbled. "I... I... I'm so sorry, really. I never expected Shao Yang to come today, and for him to find us... it was just a coincidence... I…"

"Hey, hey, it's not a big deal. Just spend more time with me and everything will be fine," Shen Fanyun said, his hand sneakily finding its way back to the buttons of her shirt.

This girl… she's always too considerate of the people she cares about. The moment she thinks she might be causing me trouble, her expression crumbles, like she's about to shed precious little tears. She's just too pitiably adorable. For a moment, Shen Fanyun silently cursed himself for being such a beast. Why do I keep teasing such a sweet girl? If she really starts crying out of guilt, I'll never forgive myself.

"It's fine, it's fine. Let's not talk about that. Let's do something we both love instead," Shen Fanyun smiled, his hand growing bolder.

"What are you doing?" Li Ruoshui's eyes widened. We were just having a nice chat, and now he's trying to get my clothes off again! And he's in such a hurry, he's going to rip the buttons. Didn't I just satisfy him?

"I'll undress you, you undress me. That way, neither of us loses out!" Shen Fanyun said, pretending to be serious. "Come on, you'd better get started. If I'm too fast, you'll be at a disadvantage, you know."

Li Ruoshui was thoroughly amused by this and playfully punched his shoulder. "You're such a jerk."

Shen Fanyun wrapped an arm around her, his voice softening. "Remember, your problems are my problems. I would walk through fire and water for you, climb a mountain of knives and plunge into a sea of fire. So don't ever worry about causing me trouble, understood?"

Li Ruoshui nodded her little head. "Okay, I understand."

"So, isn't it uncomfortable for you, forcing your hand inside my jeans like that?" Li Ruoshui glared at him, exasperated.

Does he have to be in such a rush? We only just finished a little while ago. Is he some kind of bull?

「On the other side」

Shao Yang arrived at the school gate, clutching his aching face. As he came from an affluent family, he always had a dedicated driver. The driver was startled when Shao Yang got closer. "Young Master, what happened to your face?"

"I ran into an idiot who beat me up!" Shao Yang gritted his teeth, his mind filled with an absolute loathing for Shen Fanyun's face and voice. I will not be worthy of being called a gentleman until I settle this score!

"Damn it! Who had the audacity to treat our Young Master like this? I'll call for backup right now," the driver said, pulling out his phone.

"No rush," Shao Yang said. "First, we'll go home and see my grandfather. Then, we'll pay a visit to the Li family. I want to ask Li Ruoshui's dear grandfather just how he raised his granddaughter to be so bold as to offend me like this."

The more Shao Yang thought about it, the angrier he grew. What bothered him most was not that Li Ruoshui had another man, nor was it being ignored or even getting beaten up. What he could not accept was that she had so casually given away her most precious thing. For more than a decade, he had cherished her like a treasure, obsessing over her day and night with intense longing. And in the end, some other man had just easily taken it all.

HISS… The image of his beloved woman pinned beneath Shen Fanyun, her face a mask of enraptured passion, flashed through Shao Yang's mind. He…

"Damn you! You're dead! I'm going to kill you! I'll give you death by a thousand cuts, damn it!" Shao Yang exploded, unable to swallow his rage. It feels like I've been cuckolded! Who could possibly stand for this?!
