Capítulo 1549: Chapter 1549: Who Cares About Your Men (2)
Xiao Mo’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, a chill flickered in his eyes, his deep face covered with a layer of frost.
Upon hearing Tian Lei’s shout, Xia Chuqing swiftly pushed Xiao Mo away.
She didn’t mishear; Tian Lei was indeed calling Xiao Mo “brother-in-law,” with great anticipation and excitement, looking quite pleased with herself.
As for Yao Jia standing beside her, yes, it was Yao Jia!
She had only met Yao Jia once before; last time, when Yao Jia was sending a friend to college, she happened to run into Xia Chuqing and chatted with her casually, casually “revealing” things about her father.
“Turns out some people not only lie but also throw themselves at men. Do you have no shame? So young, why don’t you do something good instead of seducing other people’s boyfriends?” Tian Lei said bluntly to Xia Chuqing.
She had already seen it: just now, Xia Chuqing was lying on Xiao Mo’s chest, and even reached out to grab Xiao Mo’s shirt.
Xia Chuqing felt a strange sensation in her heart at this moment, a feeling from what she had heard and seen.
This feeling was like never before, as if poison had infiltrated her body, pain infused in every part, and even breathing made every cell radiate pain.
She pinched her palm, and it also hurt.
“Alright, Leilei, stop it, there are so many people here.” Yao Jia looked at her but didn’t seem to have the desire to stop her.
“Who cares about your man, speak politely.” Xia Chuqing gritted her teeth, “Tian Lei, right? I’ve remembered you, you better not let me see you in the future, or I’ll beat you every time I do.”
“Aren’t you afraid of going to jail like your dad?!” Tian Lei shouted.
Not mentioning her dad was fine, but once mentioned, Xia Chuqing felt terrible all over.
“Isn’t it just jail? If I make you disabled, I think it’s worth it.” Xia Chuqing said coldly.
“You…” Tian Lei got a bit scared, most afraid of these desperate rogues!
However, she couldn’t be punched for no reason. At this moment, relying on her cousin and brother-in-law being here, Tian Lei rushed forward!
She aimed at Xia Chuqing’s face, and a slap came down.
Xia Chuqing was caught off guard, not even having time to close her eyes.
But just when she thought the slap would land on her face, a strong hand grabbed Tian Lei’s wrist.
“It hurts, it hurts… brother-in-law, let go… it hurts…”
Tian Lei half-coquettishly said to Xiao Mo, her big eyes moist, looking pitiful.
“If you come to the Shen Group, you better behave, otherwise, don’t blame me for having you kicked out!”
Xiao Mo’s deep and slightly angry voice echoed, silencing everyone in the hall.
But this icy tone fell on Tian Lei, oblivious to his intentions, as she thought Xiao Mo was coaxing her—after all, Xiao Mo was her sister’s boyfriend.
“Brother-in-law, I’m sorry, don’t be mad at me, you want this woman kicked out, right? I can help you with that,” Tian Lei coaxed Xiao Mo.
Yao Jia felt a bit embarrassed; she had called Tian Lei to deal with Xia Chuqing today, not expecting Tian Lei to mess things up, failing even to act properly.
“A family, quite matched,” Xia Chuqing muttered softly.
She didn’t want to stay in this chaotic place any longer, turned around, and was about to leave.
“Why are you running?” Xiao Mo’s calm voice sounded behind her.
Tian Lei got more complacent and also shouted, “Yeah, senior, why run? Feeling exposed for lying and feeling sad? Corruption is not a big deal anyway, wasn’t the money spent on you living a good life abroad?”
Typically, Xia Chuqing wasn’t one for verbal sparring, having never been bullied since childhood, except by Xiao Mo.
Now, not only Xiao Mo, but also Xiao Mo’s girlfriend and her girlfriend’s sister were bullying her.
Was she born to take Xiao Mo’s anger?
“Mr. Xiao, if I don’t run, this reputation of being someone who seduces other people’s boyfriends would be confirmed. Sorry, Mr. Xiao, for letting you witness this joke. I shouldn’t have come today. But, I’ve already given a deserved punch, didn’t lose out. If Mr. Xiao wants to seek justice for your girlfriend and her sister, you can arrest me and send me to jail.”
Xiao Mo shot a cold glance at Xia Chuqing; indeed, this girl was not cut out for arguments.
If he hadn’t intervened, she wouldn’t have been a match for Tian Lei!
Luckily, she knew a few moves and punched Tian Lei, otherwise, wouldn’t she have suffered a big loss?
“The matter isn’t resolved; did I say you could leave?” Xiao Mo raised an eyebrow.
Xia Chuqing put on a fearless look: “Then go ahead and resolve it, I won’t run.”
Tian Lei grinningly looked at Xiao Mo: “Brother-in-law, you must seek justice for me, look at my face, seemed really disfigured… it hurts so much…”
“Who started it?” Xiao Mo glanced over them.
A middle-aged woman who managed affairs came over and said, “It was Miss Tian who first exposed Miss Xia’s fake resume.”
“So, it was Tian Lei who first stirred things up?” Xiao Mo said coldly.
“No, brother-in-law, I’m enforcing justice on behalf of heaven; she deceived us! How could the group hire a liar?”
“When did you become HR?” Xiao Mo’s eyes, as cold as knives, swept over her face, “HR hasn’t spoken, yet you rushed in to meddle? Are you overstepping your bounds or not taking this group seriously? Or are you not taking me seriously?”
“No, it’s not…” Tian Lei hastily explained.
“I warn you, Tian Lei, don’t meddle in matters without evidence. If it’s a small issue for you, it may end up burdening others and becoming a serious crime.” Xiao Mo hinted, glancing at Yao Jia.
Yao Jia was a smart woman; seeing Xiao Mo getting angry and intentionally protecting Xia Chuqing, she understood.
A while ago, she inadvertently found a photo of a strange woman in a Lavender Field on Xiao Mo’s computer, which puzzled her.
Besides work, Xiao Mo didn’t have any women around him.
Leaving a woman’s photo in such an important place on the computer, what could it mean?
She pondered for a long time but couldn’t figure out who this was, later sought help from a few friends, and finally found out that this girl was called Xia Chuqing.
She also found out that Xiao Mo deliberately hid the matter about Xia Chuqing’s father from her.
Meeting today, it turned out Xiao Mo was indeed interested in Xia Chuqing, otherwise, why would a man protect a woman like this?
“Today’s matter ends here, Tian Lei, you are forbidden to set foot in the Shen Group again, and if I find out, you’ll bear the consequences!” Xiao Mo said lightly.
Yao Jia did not want the situation to escalate and quickly said, “Mr. Xiao, my sister is young and naive; please don’t hold it against her; I’ll have someone escort her out.”
“Wait, apologize to Miss Xia,” Xiao Mo said.
The crowd gasped in admiration, secretly respecting Mr. Xiao’s fairness, doing things without bias, not even protecting his girlfriend’s cousin.
Tian Lei said aggrievedly, “I won’t, I won’t apologize… Sister, help me say something… Sister… I won’t apologize… Why should I…”
