After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 300 - 298: I’m a Girl, What’s the Matter with That?!

BOOM!

Shen Fanyun was no saint, nor was he the soft-hearted type. Moreover, since the other party had started this with unprovoked taunts, he had no intention of indulging them. Some people simply wouldn't learn their lesson until you beat it into them.

He slapped another young bodyguard, nearly snapping the man's neck. A piercing, agonized scream echoed through the area, making one's scalp tingle. The shop employees, especially the manager, were so frightened they covered their eyes with their hands and shrank trembling into a corner, not daring to make a sound. They had thought Lin Meiqing and Shen Fanyun were easy to bully, which was why they'd shown them no respect from the start. To their surprise, however, Shen Fanyun was far beyond anyone's expectations.

Even the young woman could no longer maintain her calm, nonchalant attitude. She mumbled something, then stopped mid-sentence.

BOOM!

The dozen or so bodyguards couldn't withstand Shen Fanyun's ferocious assault. Within minutes, he had knocked down a whole group of them.

Finally, one of the bodyguards couldn't take it anymore. Roaring through the gut-wrenching pain, he yelled, "We're from the Yu Family! Do you have any idea what you're doing?"

"Damn it, how dare you treat the Yu Family's people like this? I think you've got a death wish!"

"Stop now, and you might still have a chance to survive! If you continue this reckless behavior, you won't even know how you died!"

"The Yu Family is not to be trifled with! I suggest you show some respect!"

Accustomed to being overbearing, this group immediately fell back on their family background when their arrogance failed them.

The Yu Family? Shen Fanyun pondered this. He honestly had no idea who they were. There were so many families in the world; he certainly didn't have the time to learn about every single one. Moreover, for a family to produce descendants who behaved in such a lawless manner, it clearly wasn't a recent development. It was most likely another dysfunctional family. Otherwise, this young woman wouldn't have been so brazen as to bully someone in public with such a practiced air of entitlement.

"The Yu Family? So what? Are they that powerful?" Shen Fanyun kicked away the last bodyguard blocking his path. The young woman finally panicked, staggering backward.

"What's your name?" Shen Fanyun asked coolly, looking down at her.

"I... my name is Yu Zhou. I'm my grandfather's most doted-on, favorite granddaughter. In the Yu Family, I..." The young woman, Yu Zhou, stammered, trying to emphasize her status in the Yu Family and just how much her grandfather cherished her. It was essentially a veiled warning: she was a core descendant, and if he messed with her, the entire Yu Family would come after him.

SLAP!

Shen Fanyun slapped her, sending her sunglasses flying. "I asked for your name, not your life story!" he snapped. "Still running your mouth? Doesn't it hurt?"

Yu Zhou clutched her searingly painful face, taking a long time to process what had just happened. She and the bodyguards were left utterly speechless.

This lawless, ruthless bastard just slapped me? And it was a hard slap? He slapped me? In my entire life, not even my own grandfather has had the heart to slap me! In over twenty years of a glamorous life, I've never been hit, nor has anyone ever shown me such disrespect. Shen Fanyun truly has some nerve!

"Do you know what you're doing? I'm from the Yu Family!" Yu Zhou roared, her eyes filled with venom.

SLAP!

Shen Fanyun slapped her heavily again. "And?" he asked. "So what if you're from the Yu Family? Does being from the Yu Family give you the right to bully people in broad daylight for no reason? Just because you're in a bad mood, you order your subordinates to strip a random woman's clothes? Is your Yu Family that domineering? Or have you, Yu Zhou, just gotten so used to being a tyrant that you think no one in this world can touch you? Hmm?"

SLAP!

Another heavy, forceful slap sent Yu Zhou kneeling on the ground. The pain was excruciating. Having never experienced anything like it, she was instantly overwhelmed by a flood of emotions: humiliation, indignation, and resentment.

"You... you..." Yu Zhou was seething. Even if she had done something wrong, she shouldn't have to suffer such consequences.

After all, I'm a member of the Yu Family, born with a silver spoon, high and mighty, my status exalted. Why should I, a person of my stature, pay such a price over a mere passerby—a piece of trash I wouldn't normally deign to look at twice? People are inherently different in rank and status. We are not all the same.

Looking at Lin Meiqing, who was still standing, and then at herself, kneeling on the ground and bleeding, Yu Zhou's composure shattered. She was filled with a violent urge to torture Lin Meiqing to death!

If only this eyesore of a woman hadn't appeared in my line of sight. If not for her repulsive appearance, which displeased me and led me to order my subordinates to 'teach her a lesson,' things would never have ended up in this mess. Lin Meiqing is the true culprit. The root of all this is this tactless bitch appearing where she shouldn't have and upsetting me! If Lin Meiqing hadn't provoked me, would I have acted? Sure, I, Yu Zhou, was wrong to strike first, but is Lin Meiqing completely blameless? Is a high-end boutique like this a place for a poor woman like her to be? Appearing where she had no right to be ruined my mood. That was where Lin Meiqing was wrong. If she hadn't been here, this situation would never have happened!

"You've really caused trouble for yourself today!" Yu Zhou raised her head and screamed at Shen Fanyun. "My Yu Family will not let you go!"

Shen Fanyun scoffed, shaking his head. "Even now, you still don't understand why you're being beaten."

SLAP!

Shen Fanyun squatted in front of Yu Zhou, raised his large hand, and slapped her so hard her skin split open. The young woman, whose pampered upbringing had given her a decent poise despite her average looks, was finally beaten to tears. Fat teardrops rolled down her cheeks. It was too painful. It hurt so much she felt she might faint at any second.

"You... you..." she stammered, her eyes bloodshot. She felt suffocated and furious, her whole body trembling from the emotional collapse.

Shen Fanyun offered a cold, empty smile, his expression as indifferent as ever. "Cry again and see what happens."

Yu Zhou fell silent.

He won't even let me cry? Isn't that going too far? I'm a girl! Even if I was completely in the wrong, shouldn't Shen Fanyun, as a man, show a little decency and back off?

SLAP!

"So what if you're a girl?" Shen Fanyun snorted, as if he'd misheard. He swung his hand again, the slap sending the tears clinging to her eyelashes flying sideways.

Yu Zhou was silent again. It was too cruel. The once-presentable girl was now beaten beyond recognition, her face swollen like an inflated bun.

Passing shoppers stopped in their tracks for a few seconds, utterly stunned. When this woman had entered the mall earlier, she was surrounded by a retinue of uniformly dressed bodyguards. It was obvious to any discerning eye that she came from a powerful background and was not to be messed with. Avoiding her was the smartest choice. Yet, no one could have imagined that a mere ten minutes later, this same young woman would be kneeling on the ground, wailing.

"You act like a tyrant, and now you're crying about it?" Shen Fanyun continued, raising his palm again. He felt no sympathy for Yu Zhou's miserable state. If she didn't obey, another slap awaited. "What do you have to feel wronged about? Still shouting about being a girl? Wasn't the person you were bullying also a woman?"

Terrified, Yu Zhou hastily wiped the tears from her face and avoided Shen Fanyun's burning gaze.

"Go apologize to my woman," Shen Fanyun commanded.

At these words, Yu Zhou's mind exploded with indignation once more.

Why should I? Lin Meiqing caused all of today's drama. And now, not only have I been beaten because of her, but I'm also supposed to apologize? To that despicable woman with no status and no background? Why should I apologize? Besides, even if I did go and apologize, would Lin Meiqing dare to accept it? I'm from the powerful Yu Family, with a hundred-year legacy. Does a worthless nobody like her have the guts to accept an apology from a person of my stature?

"I... I refuse!" Yu Zhou gritted her teeth, immediately rejecting Shen Fanyun's demand.

"You're still not thinking clearly," Shen Fanyun said, shaking his head. He grabbed her by the hair and slammed her head toward the ground. A jolt of pain shot through her, and her whole body began to shake violently. "I'm ordering you to apologize, not negotiating with you. Understand?" he reminded her coolly.

Yu Zhou was silent.

Another brutal motion from Shen Fanyun made Yu Zhou feel her sanity was about to shatter. It was too much. She had never endured such 'treatment' in her entire life.

This is utter humiliation. It's a desecration of my family's honor. He shows a complete disregard for the Yu Family, lacking even the most basic reverence. This is absolutely unacceptable!

"My... my Yu Family will not let you go!" Yu Zhou choked out, enduring the pain to continue her defiance.

Shen Fanyun slapped her again, sending her sprawling dizzily on the floor.

At that moment, the mall's management, having been alerted to the commotion, arrived. A large group rushed over from the security office, led by a middle-aged man in a suit who looked every bit the corporate elite. He had assumed it was a minor squabble, at most a shouting match. But when he saw the young woman lying on the ground, covered in blood, he was shocked. "Miss... Miss Yu?"

This was bad. This was a disaster. The notoriously willful young miss of the Yu Family was on the ground, beaten and weeping bitterly. Afterward, Miss Yu would surely hold them accountable for their poor management.

"Men, seize this thug!" the middle-aged man ordered without a second thought, immediately moving to have Shen Fanyun detained.

Shen Fanyun raised an eyebrow. These people are interesting. Shouldn't they first ask what actually happened? They're just going to arrest someone on sight?
