Chapter 240 - 330: Slap in the Face

Chapter 240: Chapter 330: Slap in the Face

The crowd was startled by Wan Chu’er’s sudden shout, then burst into laughter.

Their laughter was filled with undisguised disdain for Wan Chuer, confirming her as a fake innocent beauty. Some conniving men even thought, perhaps one day they could snag her for fun, after all, she was truly beautiful.

As the hosts, the Su Family was collectively furious. Such an important occasion was being disrupted by a nobody yelling senselessly.

The middle-aged man who had just bypassed Yan Hui tightly grabbed Wan Chuer’s arm, even attempting to cover her mouth.

Wan Chuer glared at him, "If you dare cover my mouth, your Su Family will lose face even more."

The man was intimidated by her aura and tone, hesitating for a moment.

In just a few seconds, a powerful voice filled with anger came from the doorway.

"Who says my granddaughter is ill-mannered?!"

The voice shocked everyone, and they looked over in surprise. At the sight, some people wished they could just faint.

Among those wishing to faint was Zheng Yun.

Granddaughter!?!

In a spark of realization, Zheng Yun recalled that Old Sir Zhong had a granddaughter.

She looked at the fearless Wan Chuer, then swiftly turned her head to the furious Old Sir Zhong.

She came to a conclusion she was extremely reluctant to admit: Wan Chuer was Old Sir Zhong’s granddaughter.

That’s why Yan Hui accompanied her here.

That’s why Wan Chuer could be so arrogant.

That’s why all the previous arrangements were Wan Chuer digging a pit for her, just for this moment.

...

While shaken, Zheng Yun also felt a vague sense of relief, grateful that her plans hadn’t yet been executed and things hadn’t reached the worst point.

Zheng Yun’s mind was in chaos, but a question lingered stubbornly.

How did Wan Chuer become Old Sir Zhong’s granddaughter?

On what grounds?!

Not to mention how panicked and unwilling Zheng Yun was, Elder Su also staggered in disbelief, standing up suddenly from his seat.

"Old... Old Chief... is it really you?" His voice trembled with uncertainty.

He hadn’t seen the Old Chief for three years, and the Old Chief was his benefactor!

Elder Su snapped back to his senses, quickly moving towards Old Sir Zhong, wanting to support him.

Seeing Elder Su so flustered, lacking his usual calm, the group of old gentlemen also began to react,

That was Grandpa Zhong, Old Sir Zhong had really appeared here!

Everyone stood up simultaneously.

Seeing this group of esteemed elders so excited, everyone in the hall was shocked.

This old man who just entered commanded such high regards!

Some realized that Wan Chuer’s backing was actually this old man!

Damn!

No one thought of her as a fake innocent beauty anymore. She was an outright enchantress.

Deliberately setting traps for a bunch of people.

The upcoming scenes wouldn’t be pleasant to watch.

Some wiped non-existent cold sweat, feeling both relieved and fearful: Thankfully, they hadn’t joined in bullying Wan Chuer just now.

Facing the excited Elder Su, Old Sir Zhong snorted angrily, pointing directly at Wan Chuer:

"What, my granddaughter isn’t welcome here? Tying her up and insulting her, well, well, your Su Family is something else."

Elder Su’s face flushed crimson with embarrassment. He quickly instructed the middle-aged man to release Wan Chuer, then said, "Old Chief, I didn’t know..." trying to explain but lost for words under Old Sir Zhong’s imposing presence.

After all, he had indeed belittled Wan Chuer just now and had even echoed others saying she was ill-mannered.

Wasn’t saying she was ill-mannered implying that the Old Chief hadn’t raised his granddaughter properly?

Old Sir Zhong saw that Wan Chuer was unscathed and sternly asked, "How is my granddaughter ill-mannered then? Explain clearly, so I can learn."

Elder Su, fearful and ashamed, replied, "No dare, no dare; the granddaughter of the Old Chief, like you, is a person of integrity."

Old Sir Zhong snorted in displeasure, and Elder Su seized the moment to support him by the arm. Noticing Old Sir Zhong didn’t shake him off, Elder Su breathed a slight sigh of relief and respectfully escorted him to the head seat.

As they passed Zheng Yun, Old Sir Zhong didn’t glance her way, outright treating her like she was invisible.

Wan Chuer walked up to Old Man Zhong, pouting, "If you were just a bit later, I could have truly been bullied by your former nanny’s daughter."

The former nanny’s daughter?

Could she mean Zheng Yun?

The once dazzling Zheng Yun was suddenly labeled as a nanny’s daughter; such a drastic fall indeed.

Everyone present held their breath, keenly observing Old Sir Zhong’s reaction.

They wanted to know if Zheng Yun was truly going to be thoroughly cut off by Old Sir Zhong.

Zheng Yun’s face turned white, swallowing all resentment and anger, she obediently approached Old Sir Zhong.

"Grandpa Zhong, I had no idea that Sister Chuer was your granddaughter. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have countered her, wouldn’t have defended myself, I would’ve listened to Sister Chuer’s every word.

You know, I’ve always treated you like my own grandfather. If I’d known you had your own granddaughter, I’d be happy for you, and never do anything Sister Chuer wouldn’t like."

Oh, playing the fake innocent now, are we!

Wan Chuer snickered disdainfully, wanting to say something to tear apart her facade, but was stopped by Grandpa Zhong.

Seeing Old Sir Zhong’s gesture, Zheng Yun felt a hint of joy.

Unfortunately, Old Sir Zhong didn’t look at Zheng Yun at all, instead, he spoke earnestly to Wan Chuer:

"You, as the granddaughter of Zhong Xiaotian, if anyone bullies you, just fight back, no matter whose daughter she is. Even if you pierce the sky, I’ll cover it for you."

These words caused yet another uproar.

Old Sir Zhong was blatantly ignoring Zheng Yun, furthermore, directly telling Wan Chuer to fight back freely.

Everyone’s thoughts immediately became active; from now on they must highly regard Wan Chuer, absolutely avoiding any conflict.

As for Zheng Yun, she no longer needed any effort.

Also, considering how Old Sir Zhong despised Zheng Yun for bullying his granddaughter, anyone aligning with Zheng Yun would be opposing Old Sir Zhong.

Hearing Old Sir Zhong, Wan Chuer chuckled and said, "That’s what you said."

Having a powerful grandfather to dote on felt exhilarating indeed.

Wan Chuer directly walked up to Zheng Yun and before anyone realized, "slap, slap!" she gave Zheng Yun two slaps.

Zheng Yun stumbled back a few steps, nearly falling.

Wan Chuer said coldly, "You’ve done so much harm to me, but considering your mother once served my grandpa, I’ll only slap you twice."

Everyone was astounded by Wan Chuer’s actions and words.

Such dominance!

After hitting her, she even acted as if she was bestowing a grand favor.

Many swallowed nervously, strengthening their resolve: Never to provoke Wan Chuer, no matter who else they might offend.

The public humiliation was excruciating.

Proud Zheng Yun had never endured such disgrace; she immediately filled with tears, covering her aching face, hopefully looking at Old Sir Zhong.

Old Sir Zhong said blandly, "I told you before, don’t go against Chuer again, remember that in the future."
