Gain A Cute Wife By “Kidnap”

Chapter 68

C68 – Stinging Slap

In a sudden commotion, Shang Minjie stormed out, setting the entire hall abuzz with fervent discussions.

“What’s happening? Brother-in-law? Divorce?”

“I’m not sure, but it seems like some sort of relationship quarrel!”

“What kind of relationship quarrel? Did that woman just say it!?” The dean is divorcing her to marry his brother.”

“Don’t be absurd, that’s a boy!” How can that be? This must be intentional troublemaking! It’s probably because of the treatment administered by Mr. Xi Men here.”

“Are you dense!? Did you miss seeing the monk carrying the boy? There’s definitely a story behind this!”

“So it’s really my brother who snatched my sister’s husband? Unbelievable! Is there no shame left? It’s disgusting. These days even homosexuals have no respect for their own families.”

“Didn’t you just say you were going to climb into Brother-in-law’s bed or something? Is that for real? This boy is too shameless! Isn’t he a man? Trying to lure another man, even if he’s his brother-in-law?”

“The world’s gone mad!” “This is an eye-opener. Such individuals deserve a good beating; they destroy others’ families, Little San.”

“Exactly, exactly! The person I despise the most is Little San. Rumor has it he’s involved in arson, theft, and bullying girls. Maybe it’s time for him to become a real man! A disgrace like him.”

……

Initially, curiosity gripped the patients. Now, even the staff was passionately discussing, casting harsh words and reproach at Shang Xiaojie.

“If you don’t want to, then get out.”

If glances could kill, Mu Sifa might have been the culprit in the staff’s demise.

The staff member was trembling, consumed by fear and avoiding eye contact. Swiftly, he returned to his duties.

The gathering had dispersed, yet their words had deeply pierced Shang Xiaojie’s heart, his tears falling unrelenting, a physical and emotional ache.

Seeing Shang Xiaojie’s sorrowful tears, Mu Sifa’s heart clenched. His palm struck Shang Minjie’s face, “Leave!” He thundered.

Mu Sifa didn’t lay hands on women, but that was under the stipulation that they didn’t behave like shrews, unlike Shang Minjie.

Stunned from the blow, Shang Minjie couldn’t fathom what had just transpired. This marked the second time Mu Sifa had struck her, all on account of Shang Xiaojie.

“Mu Sifa, don’t even dream of me signing those divorce papers. Not in this lifetime. Let Shang Xiaojie be your ‘Little San’ for all eternity.” She snarled, before swinging her spiteful hand at Shang Xiaojie’s face.

Shang Xiaojie instinctively shielded himself with his arms, tears welling and teeth clenched.

However, Shang Minjie’s slap found its target with a resounding crack. When Shang Xiaojie gingerly removed his arms to inspect the impact, he realized that Mu Sifa had intercepted the blow with his own face.

Since when did a stalwart like Mu Sifa submit to being struck by a woman? Shang Xiaojie’s tears flowed like rain, “Mu Sifa…”

His voice was strained, his sobs choked, almost devoid of sound.

“I’m fine.” Mu Sifa enfolded Shang Xiaojie’s head against his chest, concealing his eyes. His gaze turned icy as he addressed Shang Minjie, “You’ve done enough damage already!” He’s taken the blow for me. Before my patience wears thin, I advise you to disappear without further ado. Spare me from having to resort to a firearm.”

Every word grated out through Mu Sifa’s clenched teeth, a testament to his seething rage.

“I’m afraid!”

“Tianxia.”

Before Shang Minjie could finish her curses, Mu Sifa, who knew she wouldn’t stop, yelled at Jia Tianxia.

“It’s the boss.”

Jia Tianxia dragged Shang Minjie away, not wanting to cause any more trouble for her.
