After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 216: Why Should I Respect You?

With his hands clasped behind his back, Yuan Chong paced slowly toward the table. Su Xiyang casually worked her knife and fork, pretending not to see the distinguished executive from Hong Hai Capital. Gu Duo followed behind him like a little lackey.

"Ahem," Yuan Chong coughed loudly, intending to get Su Xiyang’s attention.

Su Xiyang continued to ignore him, looking as if she were seriously appreciating her food.

"You really carry yourself with quite an air, Su Xiyang. You clearly saw me approach, so why didn’t you stand up to welcome me?" Yuan Chong said coldly, berating her.

Finally, Su Xiyang responded. "Why should I stand up to welcome you? Are you royalty or some incredibly important figure?"

Yuan Chong was speechless. "Are you looking down on me?" he burst out, questioning her on the spot.

Su Xiyang shook her head. "I’m not looking down on you; I’m simply too lazy to pay you any attention. Don’t disrupt my meal. Go and play somewhere else."

Hearing this, Gu Duo couldn’t help but jump in. "Su Xiyang, you’re being so rude! This is a high-level executive from Hong Hai Capital, President Yuan! You—you’re being so stubborn! Apologize at once!"

"Are you out of your mind?" Su Xiyang glanced at Gu Duo indifferently. "I’m not asking him for any favors, so why should I be polite and respectful to him? Stand up and apologize? What is there to apologize for? I’m trying to enjoy my meal in peace when a couple of strays start barking in front of me. You’ve ruined my appetite, and now I’m supposed to apologize to a pair of strays?"

Gu Duo and Yuan Chong were left speechless. Their faces went from pale to flushed and back again, and for a long moment, they couldn’t think of a single thing to say in rebuttal. They had, after all, approached her first. But to compare them to strays was going too far, wasn’t it?

"Hong Hai Capital? That’s a super-corporation headquartered in Capital City."

"Yes, a genuine financial conglomerate. I heard that any company favored by Hong Hai Capital is as good as blessed by the God of Wealth."

Although Su Xiyang clearly disdained President Yuan, a reputation precedes its owner. The other guests were all visibly stunned, and they looked at Yuan Chong with awe. This pleased him immensely. He loved being adored. To him, it was a sense of achievement that ordinary people could never comprehend.

"Su Xiyang, have you really made up your mind to oppose me?" Yuan Chong began, feigning regret as he shook his head. "I came over today because I thought there might be a misunderstanding between us, and I wanted to give you a chance to explain. If you had, and I was in a good mood, I might have just waved it off. We could have even restarted our cooperation talks. However, your behavior now is a huge disappointment. Do you realize that?"

He waited for Su Xiyang to come to her senses, apologize properly, and make amends.

In the end? Heh heh. He was naturally hoping this woman would take the hint and join him at his hotel to discuss life, study some English, or something of that sort!

"Cooperation?" The word made Gu Duo’s eyes sharpen with wariness.

Hong Hai Capital is interested in Su Xiyang’s company? But she offended President Yuan with her attitude, and now he’s willing to give her a second chance?

Gu Duo certainly didn’t want Su Xiyang to latch onto a powerful backer like Hong Hai Capital. She couldn’t bear to watch the other woman soar to new heights. The only acceptable outcome was for her to keep Su Xiyang under her thumb forever, not to have that woman lording over her for the rest of her life.

"President Yuan," Gu Duo said with a faint smile, suddenly hugging his arm. She giggled, "Why would you want to work with such a disobedient woman? Choose me! I’m not only obedient, I’m very well-behaved. President Yuan, aren’t I pretty?" She clung to his arm, her suggestive tone and actions making her intentions obvious.

As a slick old hand, Yuan Chong obviously understood that Gu Duo was throwing herself at him. Besides, his plan for meeting her today had been to use cooperation as a pretext for a memorable little encounter he could savor later.

"Su Xiyang, do you see?" he said, pointing at Gu Duo. "This is who you should learn from. Rein in that foul temper of yours. Being so impulsive will only harm you."

How could Su Xiyang endure such humiliation? From his harassment last night until now... was this bastard ever going to stop?

"Go to hell!" Su Xiyang yelled. She glanced at Shen Fanyun, and after receiving his nod of approval, she wasted no time, grabbing the hot tea from the table and splashing it directly in Yuan Chong’s face.

"If you want to sleep with a woman, go sleep with someone else! Isn’t there a slut right next to you, just waiting for you to play with her? Why are you wasting time with me?" Su Xiyang slammed the cup down on the table with a snap. "A greasy, fat-headed pig like you with a mouth full of yellow teeth should take a piss and look at your own reflection! You think you’re worthy of touching me? Aren’t you overestimating yourself? Do you really think having Hong Hai Capital behind you means you can have any woman you want with ease?"

Yuan Chong was speechless. "You!" he sputtered in a rage.

Gu Duo was also livid. How dare Su Xiyang call her a slut in front of so many people? And she had the audacity to splash tea in President Yuan’s face! This was absolute lawlessness!

"You shameless bitch! I gave you an out and you spat on it! How dare you splash me!" Yuan Chong raised his right hand to slap her.

But before he could, another hand shot out and restrained him. Before he could even react, his head was slammed heavily against the corner of the table.

THUD.

Yuan Chong felt dizzy, and his legs gave out, causing him to kneel before Su Xiyang.

"Who did you call a bitch?" Shen Fanyun’s massive, fan-like hand mercilessly slapped Yuan Chong’s head.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

Blood began to seep from his forehead and cheeks. The scene terrified Gu Duo, who stumbled backward. She had planned to team up with Yuan Chong to teach Su Xiyang a lesson, but before she could even act, Shen Fanyun had already beaten him bloody.

"Hiss... ow... you... you..." Yuan Chong finally managed to gasp. He touched his head and was horrified by what he felt.

Blood! His entire head was covered in blood!

"You... both of you!" He never imagined Su Xiyang would actually defy him, let alone that her male companion would be so violent. To attack someone in broad daylight, in front of everyone... it was completely lawless! Yuan Chong felt as if his bones were about to break.

"You bitch, are you trying to get yourself killed?"

SLAP!

Shen Fanyun struck him again. Yuan Chong’s teeth smashed against the table, sending a spray of blood into the air. He flinched, not daring to make another sound.
