Chapter 57 I Just Got Kissed by Your Wife

When Li Heming returned to the private booth, he saw that the gentle look on Shen Zhou's face had vanished with Tang Yuan's departure. Shen Zhou was swirling a glass of wine, lost in thought.

While Tang Yuan was still there, nobody had dared to speak loudly about Tang Baihe's scandal. Now that she had gone, someone noticed Li Heming entering and asked loudly, "Young Master Li, your uncle must be furious right now, marrying a cheating woman from the Tang family—what a unique experience."

"Hahahaha, I heard your uncle was so mad he wanted to bring a new wife home that very same night."

Li Heming waved a hand, his handsome face full of impatience. "Get lost!"

He sat down beside Shen Zhou, pressed his lips together in hesitation for a few seconds, and finally said, "Shen Zhou."

Shen Zhou raised his eyes slightly. "Hmm?"

Li Heming swallowed, struggling and hesitating for a moment, not knowing how to broach the subject.

Damn it, he surely couldn't say he had just been kissed by Shen Zhou's wife, could he?

Shen Zhou would beat him to death.

Although Shen Zhou didn't care about Tang Yuan, she was still his possession.

At least until the title of Mrs. Shen was officially stripped from her, anyone who dared to cuckold him was simply courting death.

Feeling deeply aggrieved and frustrated, Li Heming gritted his teeth and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to remind you to be careful, in case Tang Yuan cheats on you too."

Shen Zhou narrowed his eyes and chuckled softly. "Mm."

Li Heming knew he hadn't taken it to heart at all.

Not long after Tang Yuan drove away, she noticed two cars tailing her.

Thinking it was just her imagination at first, she glanced in the rearview mirror and saw the two cars flanking her on either side, apparently trying to force her onto a narrow side road.

Clenching her teeth, she floored the accelerator and violently jerked the steering wheel.

The vehicles scraped against each other in a shower of sparks, emitting a harsh, screeching sound.

She felt no fear, especially since she was now so painfully aware of the rules of this circle; the only drive left in her was the burning desire to climb higher.

The weak would always be beaten.

Even when she wanted to climb upward and people threw stones at her head, she was not afraid.

There had always been a stubborn tenacity deep in her bones, but previously, out of love for Shen Zhou, she had kept it suppressed and played the obedient wife.

Suddenly, her car was forced to a dead stop by a large truck driving from the opposite direction.

Several burly men stepped out of the vehicle, dragged her out forcefully, and pressed a handkerchief soaked in chemicals over her nose. She lost consciousness.

When she came to again and opened her eyes, she saw Sheng Yun standing right in front of her.

Sheng Yun looked down at her from a position of absolute superiority and said to a man beside her, "Brother, thank you."

The man said nothing, simply turned around, left, and closed the door behind him.

Sheng Yun let out a cold laugh, raised her hand, and delivered a vicious slap across the face.

Tang Yuan's cheek instantly turned red with the imprint of a hand, and blood trickled from the corner of her lips.

Her hair was grabbed in a tight, merciless grip.

Looking down at that battered face, Sheng Yun's eyes were filled with malice. "Did you really think that just because you drank a glass of wine, I would let you go? Tang Yuan, you can't even hold onto a man like Shen Zhou—you are the real bitch here."

Tang Yuan remained silent, fixing her unblinking gaze entirely on her.

Sheng Yun frowned and landed two more slaps. "I really hate that look in your eyes. Keep looking at me like that, and see if I don't gouge your eyeballs out!"

"Do you dare?"

A flash of annoyance crossed Sheng Yun's eyes. The truth was, she didn't dare.

If something happened to Tang Yuan right after she had offended her, everyone would immediately suspect her.

Taking a deep breath, Sheng Yun savagely kicked Tang Yuan in the stomach. "Bitch! Remember this, Tang Yuan, you're the only bitch here!"

The pain sent cold sweat beading across Tang Yuan's forehead. Her lips trembled slightly as she silently kept count of the kicks she received.

Ten times. She would return it tenfold in the future.
