After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.

Hearing those green tea-like words, I froze in my tracks, my handsome face instantly turning cold.

I didn't say anything, nor did I go any further inside. I lowered my head, picked up the black pepper sauce, and poured it onto the steak.

Secretary Li specially ordered this steak for me. I like thicker filet mignon, and it has to be well-done.

Jiang Yuwei frowned, her cold voice devoid of emotion: "What did you just say?"

Chen Yiran suddenly stood up and looked at Jiang Yuwei: "President Jiang, it's not like that. Mr. is a very good person and he's very good to me. He didn't bully me."

"Lu Mi, stop talking, you've gone a bit too far."

Lu Mi also stood up abruptly: "Chen Yiran, that's enough! I was standing up for you, why are you yelling at me? Didn't he just say something else? Didn't he tell you to be quiet or he'd go crazy and try to hit you?"

"Before President Jiang left, she told him to take good care of you, and he readily agreed. But then he turned around and bullied you. He's a two-faced person. Am I wrong? Besides, he was so mean to you just now, and I told you to bear with it. Now that President Jiang is back, she'll definitely stand up for you. What are you going to do... ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden "smack"!

He was slapped so hard his face was twisted, and half of his face was covered in black pepper sauce.

The room fell silent. Everyone was stunned, especially Lu Mi, who stared at me with wide eyes, unable to believe it.

"You... you actually hit me?"

Yes, I did it, and I used my big, thick steak.

I held the steak and gave a sinister smile.

"Don't you know I'll go crazy if you mess with me? Why are you pretending to be surprised now? You're so sarcastic, even better than an Onmyoji. Your mouth is so rude, I have to beat you up."

Lu Mi was so angry that her face turned red. One side of her face was clean, while the other side was covered in black pepper sauce, making her look particularly funny.

"You fucking apologize to me! I've never had anyone dare to hit me like that in my entire life... Ah!"

With a "smack," I swung the steak at him again and slapped him across the face. Now his whole face was covered in black pepper sauce, and he looked awful.

"Apologize? I've already become a stingy, two-faced person, why would I apologize to you? Have you ever seen a madman apologize? It's one thing to be ugly, but you're also stupid and a green tea bitch. I warned you to shut up, but you still insisted on getting beaten up. I would be doing myself a disservice if I didn't beat you up."

I got angrier and angrier as I talked, and I swung the steak twice more, breaking off a piece of it.

Lu Mi screamed and broke down, her eyes red with anger, waving her fist: "I'll fight you to the death!"

Chen Yiran hurriedly stopped him, seemingly frightened as well, and looked at me: "Sir, it's our fault, but isn't that enough...?"

I took the steak and slapped him across the face, which was my way of "judging" him.

"If you want to keep standing by and watch, then shut up. If you want to talk back, then be prepared to get beaten up together. If you can't even control your own friends, then don't try to control me. Who do you think you are?"

In my past life, he ended up getting involved with a married woman. I know he had a hard time, so I could let it go. But in this life, why is he so arrogant?

Is it because he is Jiang Yuwei's ideal woman, Meng Ziyin's boyfriend, or because he is a positive role model?

What does this have to do with me? I don't owe him anything. Even if he were a god descended from heaven, if he angered me, I'd still beat him up without hesitation.

Chen Yiran's eyes instantly reddened. Even with black pepper sauce on his face, he still looked like a pure and flawless white lotus, making him seem untouchable.

Jiang Yuwei, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, couldn't sit still any longer. She walked over to me, her cool voice carrying a hint of reproach and nervousness.

"Ye Qiu, don't go too far."

I turned around with a cold face, my right hand gripping the steak tightly, ready to slap her again.

Unfortunately, before the steak could even touch her face, she grabbed my hand, and my steak, which had already been slapped by several people, fell to the ground with a "thud".

She gripped my wrist and asked in a low voice, "Have you made enough of a scene?"

The next second, a crisp "snap" sounded!

I slapped her across the face with my left hand. Immediately afterward, three gasps of shock rang out in succession: two behind me and one at the door. Secretary Li, who had just pushed the door open and entered, was also stunned.

Lu Mi's astonished voice rang out: "He actually dared to hit President Jiang, he's a madman!"

madman?

I remained expressionless, only regretting that my left hand wasn't strong enough to slap her harder. I also regretted not smearing some black pepper sauce on both hands; otherwise, Jiang Yuwei, that germaphobe, would definitely have gone crazy on the spot after that slap.

Jiang Yuwei narrowed her eyes instantly. I looked up at her, not afraid at all.

After all, I've dealt with everyone I needed to, and I didn't let any of the gossipy people in the room get away with it. I feel much better now.

I said coldly, "The person you brought back doesn't know how to speak properly, so I'll teach him how. If you're not happy about it, then keep it to yourself. If you want to say something, then be prepared to get beaten up together. I don't have any rules here; I beat men and women the same."

"And Jiang Yuwei, I didn't want to come in the first place, you specially hired me. I'm here to work. If you're going to bring back some shady men, then you should discipline them properly and not let them act up in front of me. It disgusts me."

"Or I can compromise and you can give me more money, and I'll move to the next room."

As soon as I finished speaking, the room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Lu Mi stopped crying and stared blankly at me as I lashed out, along with Chen Yiran.

Jiang Yuwei's beautiful face was cold and stern. Her dark eyes stared at me without blinking, and her red lips were tightly pursed.

"Chen Yiran only said a couple of words, is it really necessary to resort to violence?" I scoffed, my face full of nonchalance. "Isn't it just because I'm a bad person?"

Anyone who hears that knows how unpleasant it feels. Chen Yiran always has people protecting him, as if someone would hold up the sky for him even if it fell. But me? No one cares, no one loves me. When I'm bullied, I can only rely on myself to protect myself.

Jiang Yuwei looked down at me expressionlessly and said coldly, "This is not a reason for you to hit Chen Yiran. Apologize to him right now."

My heart sank, but I suddenly laughed. "You want me to apologize? No way."

She gripped my hand even tighter. "Apologize!"

I jerked my arm away from her grasp.

"I said it's impossible, are you deaf?"

At this moment, Chen Yiran generously spoke up: "I'm fine, President Jiang. Your husband has indeed been wronged. Please don't make things difficult for him."

Jiang Yuwei rolled her eyes at him, but I kept a cold face and forcefully pulled my hand back.

This time she didn't bother me anymore, but said coldly, "It's very chaotic outside. If you want to go out, I won't care."

I didn't say anything. Going crazy and wanting to die are two different things. It's so late now, even if you asked me to leave, I wouldn't. At most, I'd stay at the next hotel for the night.

I rubbed my wrists, then pushed her away with my hands covered in black pepper sauce and rubbed them hard against her new clothes.

Jiang Yuwei gritted her teeth and said, "Ye Qiu!"

I'm not afraid of her at all; she brought this on herself.

Amidst her instant anger, I straightened my back and walked towards Secretary Li.

Ever since I slapped Jiang Yuwei, he's been standing at the door with his clothes in his hand, not daring to move.

Seeing me approach, Secretary Li looked at me with a panicked expression, and I don't know if he was afraid that I would hit him too. His voice trembled: "Sir...

I glanced down at the clothes in his hand, then looked at him apologetically, "I'm sorry, I ruined the steak you ordered for me. Could you please order another one? Also, the floor is dirty, could you call a cleaner to clean it up?"

Secretary Li quickly replied, "Oh, it's nothing, sir, you're too kind."

I smiled at him. "Thank you. Just take me to my room later."

After saying that, I turned around and went back to my room. Apart from Secretary Li, I didn't look at anyone else.

Just before the door closed, I heard Lu Mi cry out in distress: "President Jiang, is this all? I was slapped four times for no reason!"

Jiang Yuwei's voice grew even colder: "Then what do you want?"

"I want him to apologize, now, immediately, right now—"
