Chapter 263: Chapter 261: The Pain She Delivered, the Retaliation She Deserved

As soon as Chu Xinyu saw Jiayi, the grievances she had accumulated over the past few days poured out like a torrential downpour.

"Now that Mommy is here to support me, I can’t hold it in anymore. Mommy, all I did was accidentally hurt your hand, but look at what she’s put me through these past few days. You have to stand up for me..."

Then she glared at Jiayi, "You clearly said you wouldn’t mind, that it was all right, but then you turned around and you..."

Because she was too agitated, pulling too violently, she agitated a spot on her shoulder, causing her to grimace in pain.

That wretched girl, sweet-talking to my face, but she must have gone behind my back and tattled to young master Huo!

The hidden pains throughout her body made Chu Xinyu nearly grind her teeth to pieces!

She never expected to suffer such inhumane treatment on this trip to China!

These past two days had been the most painful Chu Xinyu had ever experienced since her birth.

The man had spared no effort in his dealings with her, short of letting her die.

The underground punishment Huo Zhenyang used on her was the kind used by leaders of organizations around the world to punish their errant subordinates.

For such methods to be used on her, a lady of wealth and status, was beyond what she could endure!

At that moment, Xuan Yu spat out at her daughter, "Rubbish! Shut up!"

The shrill rebuke landed with force, exhibiting all the authority of a wealthy lady from S Country.

Chu Xinyu couldn’t believe that Mommy would actually scold her for that wretched girl.

She had never been scolded by Mommy from a young age, let alone in front of such a wretched creature.

She cried even more fiercely:

"Mommy, it’s obviously her—"

Nie Yixiao pulled Chu Xinyu back, signaling her not to speak anymore.

But Chu Xinyu’s recklessly public accusation against Jiayi had clearly incited Huo Zhenyang’s anger.

The young and handsome man’s face was stern as ice as he said, "Please seat Miss Chu in the middle."

Xuan Yu had a bad feeling, "Master Huo... what are you planning to do? My daughter doesn’t understand, she’s offended Master Huo, she’s also been punished these past two days, let’s just let it be!"

No sooner had her words fallen than two of the Huo Family’s bodyguards forced Chu Xinyu down onto a worn, dilapidated chair!

Then, ignoring Chu Xinyu’s screams of protest, the bodyguards lifted her, along with the chair, to the center of the room!

In just a few seconds, Chu Xinyu hadn’t even come back to her senses.

"Little Kitten, come here."

Huo Zhenyang’s tone softened, now sounding somewhat languorous, much gentler, as if he were calling his beloved pet.

Jiayi felt a chill go through her as all eyes landed on her; that man, what was he preparing to do now.

Her slender throat moved as she slowly walked to the front from the crowd.

"Stand in front of her," Huo Zhenyang commanded with the authority of a king, his every word saturated with an invisible deterrent force that could not be defied.

Jiayi was taken aback, but could only stand in front of Chu Xinyu.

Huo Zhenyang raised an eyebrow, "My woman, only I am allowed to bully her, nobody else can, not even if it’s a sister. Raise your little kitten claws and slap her face. Use all your strength, until her skin is torn and flesh is runny."

He wanted his woman to ride high before others and avenge past humiliations!

He had people carry out the punishment, and now, it was her turn.

Getting revenge for oneself was the most satisfying of all.

The man’s words turned the faces of Chu Xinyu, Xuan Yu, and the others completely!

Chu Xinyu exclaimed in shock and just as she attempted to stand up, her shoulder was pinned down by a Huo Family bodyguard from behind, rendering her completely immobile!

Xuan Yu controlled her emotions, maintaining as elegant a demeanor as possible:

"Mr. Huo, please, enough is enough! Show some respect to the Chu Family! You’ve detained my daughter and her boyfriend for two days and used private punishment from the underworld, which I’ve already let slide, but now you want to escalate things further, I won’t allow it!"

The bodyguards from the Chu Family who had come over from S Country also stepped forward, seemingly ready to intervene at any moment.

Enough is enough? George swore, it was truly the first time in his life he had heard anyone dare to tell the Boss these four words!

Huo Zhenyang’s face showed no sign of anger, but with a whoosh, he stood up straight from his chair, shaking his suit.

In an instant, the Huo Family’s bodyguards had encircled and quickly subdued the group of bodyguards from S Country with a back elbow strike.

One of Xuan Yu’s closest bodyguards was even pressed down, half-kneeling on the ground with a muffled groan, almost hitting his own master.

Luckily, Nie Yixiao was there in time to steady Xuan Yu, saving her from embarrassment.

Xuan Yu took a few deep breaths, but the dignified lady’s poise was clearly on the verge of collapse.

She had completely grasped the situation and dared not make any more sounds.

If they pushed too hard, maybe it wouldn’t be only her daughter Chu Xinyu who would end up slapped and pinned to a chair.

There could be no escalation of conflict with Mr. Huo!

Seeing her own bodyguards not moving, Chu Xinyu became anxious: "Mommy—save me—Brother Yixiao, save me!"

In S Country, Xuan Yu might be the everlasting support.

Outside, there were always more powerful people.

This daughter was too impulsive; let this be a lesson to be more wise in the future!

Xuan Yu turned her head away, hardening her heart, refusing to look at her daughter.

Seeing the Chu Family’s entourage quiet down, Huo Zhenyang no longer hesitated, his eyes squinting inscrutably as he turned to Jiayi, "Isn’t it time you made your move, Little Kitten?"

Jiayi had never witnessed such a scene before. Watching Chu Xinyu in front her, her face pale with terror, she hesitated, her lips quivering: "Don’t. Just let it go..."

Huo Zhenyang’s brow furrowed deeply, and he stepped over to stand behind her, lowering his head onto her shoulder, his big hand sliding down slowly to grasp her small hand, his voice deep:

"Rule one of survival, never show mercy in front of an enemy. She hit you hard, you return it harder, how fair and just. Otherwise, one day, if you fall into her hands again, you might die a horrible death."

"No..." She had never done anything so violent, what survival rules, she wasn’t a little wild beast, why should she hit and kill.

Huo Zhenyang’s voice sounded like chords, even deeper and more enchanting, intoxicating: "Humans have always been about the survival of the fittest, and it will stay the same even after ten thousand years. There’s no need to feel guilty, but rather fortunate that your authority is currently greater than hers, just as she humiliated you."

As his words fell, the man tightly clenched her small hand and fiercely slapped it across Chu Xinyu’s delicate cheek!

A crisp "slap" shocked everyone present!

Chu Xinyu burst into painful sobs, still being pinned down, unable to even bring her hands up to her face.

"The first slap, I’ve taught you. The rest, you handle it yourself, Little Kitten," he said with a curved smile, brimming with wickedness, as he released her small hand.

He had the ability to protect her, but the pleasure of avenging a grudge had to be experienced by her alone.

Jiayi was still hesitant, after all, she had never done such a brutish thing before.

Chu Xinyu cried, "Don’t, don’t hit me..."

Huo Zhenyang said coldly, "Never believe an enemy’s pleas."

Jiayi looked pitifully at Huo Zhenyang, her tiny palm suspended in mid-air.
