Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 622: President’s Desperate Pursuit in the Love Ashes
"You’re the blind one, your whole family’s blind. With that unbearable ugliness of yours, how dare you compare with our Shangxue?"
Xie Mingyu was furious. Hearing this ugly woman insult his Shangxue, he immediately retorted unceremoniously.
Retorting wasn’t enough; he even prepared to roll up his sleeves and teach this woman a lesson.
He certainly wasn’t a gentleman who adhered to never hitting women. When he’s upset, he’d even tear into family relatives, let alone a venomous-tongued woman he didn’t even know.
"How... how dare you call me ugly?" Meng Ying was both embarrassed and angry.
Xie Mingyu sneered: "Not only am I calling you ugly, but I also want to beat you up."
"Yu." Shangxue stopped Xie Mingyu.
Xie Mingyu said angrily: "Xue’er, don’t stop me. This woman actually dared to call you ugly. If I don’t deal with her today, I won’t be surnamed Xie."
"Yu, we’re out here to enjoy ourselves; why let someone like this ruin our mood? Let me handle this, calm down, and don’t get yourself sick with anger," Shangxue coaxed him.
She then signaled the bodyguards to take Xie Mingyu away.
Shangxue noticed that Meng Ying also had bodyguards, and judging by their attire and demeanor, she wasn’t just some common infatuated girl; she must have come from a privileged background to act this boldly.
Although she knew, no matter how privileged the background, there were few in the country who dared to do anything to the young master of the Xie Family.
But this was abroad, where there are always people more powerful and mountains beyond mountains, so it’s best to keep a low profile.
They were out to have fun, not to stir up trouble.
"Does this young lady feel unsatisfied losing to someone like me?" Shangxue asked with a slight smile.
Meng Ying snorted: "Of course, looking at your attire and looks, you’re probably just an assistant. That man just now is really handsome, it’s a pity to pair him with you."
"I think so too, but does the young lady know why he likes me?" Shangxue asked.
Meng Ying said: "How would I know?"
"Come here, I’ll tell you." Shangxue beckoned to her, signaling her to approach.
Meng Ying was doubtful. She knew she shouldn’t get close to a stranger, especially a woman she had just quarreled with.
However, her curiosity got the better of her. She really wanted to know what exactly made such a handsome man fall for such an ordinary woman.
Moreover, that man wasn’t a pushover; with a bad temper like that, you could tell he came from a good family.
But this woman seemed ordinary in every way.
So, she couldn’t resist getting closer to Shangxue, who whispered in her ear: "Because I’m good at making people happy, so he can’t leave me."
Meng Ying: "..."
"You... shameless, how can you say such things?" Meng Ying was again filled with shame and anger.
Shangxue chuckled: "Food and sex are basic desires, human nature. What’s so unspeakable? Besides, isn’t your interest in Yu because he’s handsome? Or are you hoping for a platonic romance?"
"Shameless, you’re indeed a lowly woman, using such underhanded tricks to climb up. But soon, I’ll make you realize that a woman like you will eventually be cast aside," Meng Ying said indignantly.
Shangxue smiled slightly: "Let’s see you take my man away first! I’ve said what I had to say, do what you want, and take care."
With that, Shangxue walked away.
How could Meng Ying easily let her go? She immediately ordered her bodyguards to grab her.
After all, with Xie Mingyu and his bodyguards gone, there was only this seemingly weak woman left. She was determined to teach her a lesson.
But unexpectedly, Shangxue, who looked weak, was actually trained.
Meng Ying’s two bodyguards couldn’t even subdue her; instead, they were beaten by her.
Meng Ying was stunned.
Shangxue smiled at Meng Ying and said: "I remember you introduced yourself as Miss Meng earlier? Miss Meng, one should always be low-key, especially aware that not everything in this world belongs to us. Don’t covet what’s not yours."
"You just wait, I won’t let you off," Meng Ying pointed at her furiously.
Shangxue shook her head and left.
It seemed the lesson just now wasn’t enough to make this rich heiress learn. What she did earlier wasn’t too much.
Shangxue soon found Xie Mingyu.
Xie Mingyu, however, wasn’t worried about her safety.
Although Shangxue’s combat skills weren’t as good as Tingyu, Wangyue, or Xunyou, ordinary people still couldn’t do anything to her.
Seeing her come back safely, Xie Mingyu still said indignantly: "How did you handle it? Did you teach that woman a lesson?"
"Of course," Shangxue nodded.
Xie Mingyu was intrigued: "How did you teach her a lesson?"
Shangxue gestured for Xie Mingyu to come closer and whispered in his ear: "I secretly sprinkled some itching powder that Miss Ye gave me into her hair. It won’t kick in immediately, but in a couple of hours, it will. By then, her scalp will be so itchy she’ll scratch it raw."
"Ye Ningwan has such devious stuff?" Xie Mingyu was surprised.
Shangxue said: "Of course, if Miss Ye wants to research any medicine, it’s a piece of cake for her. However, she wouldn’t easily give it to anyone. It was given to me for self-defense before. Never got the chance to use it, but it came in handy today."
"Hahaha, Xue’er, you’re amazing. Let her call you ugly, and then shave her head bald and see if she dares to call you ugly again," Xie Mingyu laughed excitedly.
Shangxue gave a wry smile and said: "Actually, compared to her, I’m indeed not pretty. Compared to you, it’s like heaven and earth. Walking along with you, I don’t know how many people have given us curious looks, probably wondering how such a handsome man ended up with someone as plain as me."
"Who said you’re ugly?" Xie Mingyu immediately hugged her waist, pulling her closer: "You don’t even know how much I like you. In this world, there’s no one more beautiful than you. Your eyes, your lips, your nose, every part of you is the most beautiful to me. What use is it to be good-looking if I don’t like them? Your appearance is exactly the kind I like most, and what I like is the best."
"Yu, I didn’t expect you to be able to sweet talk too."
Shangxue gently raised her hand to caress his face.
Xie Mingyu’s face could almost be described as flawless.
Though there’s a significant difference between Eastern and Western aesthetics, especially regarding facial beauty, one thing has always been true: beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and each person’s aesthetic is different.
However, for the existence of beauty, even if aesthetics differ, one cannot help but be captivated.
And Xie Mingyu’s features belonged to that category.
No matter who, upon seeing him, they would exclaim at his beauty, because he was indeed breathtakingly handsome.
Yet, someone with such looks considered her to be beautiful.
Shangxue had always thought her life was bitter. Orphaned young, she was lucky to be taken in by the Xie Family, but she also had to endure the pain of unrequited love. It must have been because of the many wrongs in her past life that she suffered such torment.
But now she realized that all the hardships in the first half of her life were for the second half to be with Xie Mingyu.
With him, all suffering seemed to become less bitter.
