Chapter 42 The Scapegoat
meal; his mind was elsewhere. He stared out the window anxiously for quite some time but grew impatient and started acting capricious due to a bad mood: "I don’t want this cup. Bring me a Riedel glass...Chapter 42 The Scapegoat
Yan Luoxi reacted a beat slower in the aftershock brought by Li An, seeing her colleagues all tense with serious expressions. She turned around puzzledly, only to find that Li An had already vanished, leaving Fang Shiyue looking at her thoughtfully.
In a rush of anxiety and urgency, Li An arrived at the PR department where he saw chaos from afar as expected. As he stepped closer, he witnessed Shao Meizhuo slapping He Yufan across the face; before he could stop it, all he managed was to catch the falling He Yufan.
Since childhood, He Yufan had never taken such a beating; her quick reflexes kicked in as she raised her leg without even glancing at the man behind her, delivering a swift kick to Shao Meizhuo’s lower abdomen.
In recent years, dealing with Li An's fragile female companions had become second nature to Shao Meizhuo. Usually, those women would either cover their faces in shame and cry or shudder in fear after receiving her iron palm strike; she had never encountered a woman as fierce as He Yufan.
She hadn’t expected He Yufan to retaliate with a kick under such circumstances. When she tried to dodge, it was too late—fortunately, her flexible body allowed her to lean backward and avoid most of the impact, but she still got kicked in the abdomen by He Yufan's toe.
Shao Meizhuo couldn’t accept being hit by another woman; having been spoiled and self-centered since childhood, she had never suffered such a humiliation. Seizing the moment when He Yufan hadn't yet risen from Li An’s arms, her eyes filled with murderous intent and she pounced towards He Yufan faster than a monkey could.
Two girls of similar age, both seething with anger, quickly engaged in a physical altercation. Being roughly the same height and having comparable physiques, they were evenly matched, making it hard to determine a winner.
In their current state of extreme fury, there was no strategic combat; they merely utilized women's innate techniques—pinching, scratching, biting, pulling hair, and grabbing breasts—with malicious tactics that seemed like natural abilities, surpassing those of men in number rather than falling short.
Li An had originally been half-supporting and half-hugging He Yufan, but in an instant, He Yufan broke free from his grasp to engage in a brawl with Shao Meizhuo. Although Li An has a bad temper and was used to being aggressive since childhood, this was the first time he encountered a woman's war up close, momentarily leaving him at a loss.
"Stop fighting! Let go of each other!" He shouted out of embarrassment and frustration, but these two women were already filled with such deep-seated hatred for each other that they completely ignored Li An’s cries. They continued their fight as if they wanted to kill each other.
He Yufan's eyes were red; this arrogant young lady thought everyone in the world should cater to her whims, daring to act recklessly right in front of her. Today, even at the cost of her life, she would make this brat learn a lesson.
Shao Meizhuo was even more unwilling to back down; this shrew had Li An's favor and protection—today she would tear up that fox’s face, punch her breasts until they were flat, and kick her buttocks into submission. She wanted to see how the other could still show off in front of Li An after enduring such humiliation.
The raging battle continued with瘋狂的繼續著...

Lian tried to separate the two people糾纏在一起, but pulling one didn't work and tugging on the other wouldn't stop; instead, he got so busy that he was sweating all over. Even while separating them, someone's hand hit his shoulder with a 'slap,' causing him fiery pain.
He inwardly cursed, even angrier than before. Glancing to one side, he saw the circle of people around him intently watching the spectacle. Burning with rage, he shouted: “Are you all just standing there like idiots watching a show Are you waiting for me to fire you Help separate them!”
Realizing that they were not simply watching two women fight but rather observing their boss’s displeasure—and knowing this was akin to seeking death—they quickly responded to the boss's call and rushed forward.
The power of numbers prevailed, and with everyone working together, within three minutes, the two disheveled women—disrupting decorum in appearance and behavior—were finally separated. However, they still muttered curses at each other不甘心地,多次試圖掙脫眾人的束縛撲向對麵的仇敵。
The flower pots擺放於公關部走廊被撞得東倒西歪,一拉得的宣傳架子也被砸得支離破碎。在滿地的花草紙片殘骸中,還散落著一隻高跟鞋和兩截壓斷的髮卡。
He Yufan and Shao Meizhu's meticulously styled hair now looked like bird nests, their makeup smeared with sweat and blood.如果不是厲安還算熟悉她們的聲音一時還真分不清她們到底是誰。
Lian slightly distinguished the voices分辨了一下聲音, confirming that the one who had lost a high heel during the tussle was Shao Meizhu. Suppressing his urge to pass out昏過去,他冷冷地質問邵美卓:“你是不是有病啊,大早晨的跑到這裡來胡鬨什麼?”
"I will uphold justice and slay demons!" Instead of admitting her mistake, Shao Meizhu was even more defiant. With a face that resembled a Peking opera mask, she raged at Li An in front of everyone, wishing she had brought an extremely sharp Emei steel needle to eliminate this vicious fox spirit.
"Do you think you're the stable boy [from Journey to the West] Upholding justice and slaying demons!" Li An was so angry that he felt like vomiting blood. In his eyes, Shao Meizhu wasn't a righteous heroine; calling her a monkey spirit would be an honor for her.
"This is my company, where are there any demons or monsters Did you have a fit last night or take the wrong medicine this morning" Li An knew why Shao Meizhu was causing such a commotion, but he couldn't argue with her in front of his employees.
"She's the fox spirit!" Shao Meizhu pointed at He Yufan, who had nothing in common with a fox spirit anymore. She looked like an angry wildcat: "I'm punishing her for you! I'll teach her not to dare seduce you again or hit your head and scratch your face, biting your neck!"
The surrounding employees were shocked by Shao Meizhu's shrill outburst. They had all noticed Li An's injuries from his forehead to his cheeks and neck a few days ago and guessed that they might be inflicted by a woman, but they never imagined it would be He Yufan. It seems the relationship between these two people is far more serious than they thought!
Although He Yufan was still panting from anger, she wasn't deaf or blind. She heard every word Shao Meizhu said clearly and was even more shocked than those around her. Even if someone gave her a hundred pairs of guts, she wouldn't dare hit Li An!
Could it be that Shao Meizhu has another target in mind, making her the scapegoatars seemed quite pitiful; there was a bewitching charm that easily touched a hidden chord in his heart, so he actually gave her a smile. "I don’t mean that. I’m just worried about you."Yan Luoxi’s gua...
