After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 49: Did He Bully You Before?!

Shen Fanyun’s words made Xu Lei stop in his tracks. His hands involuntarily clenched so tightly that he felt nothing, even as his fingernails dug into his flesh.

"Let’s go," Shen Fanyun reminded Li Ruoshui.

Li Ruoshui apologized to Xu Lei, "I’m terribly sorry, but we really are in a hurry." After all, they were colleagues who saw each other often, so Li Ruoshui didn’t want their future interactions to become extremely awkward. If Xu Lei finally learned to back off after this encounter, it would be beneficial for both him and her. Li Ruoshui didn’t want Xu Lei to waste his energy and time on her, either.

"You are not allowed to go!" Xu Lei suddenly bellowed. His abrupt action gave Li Ruoshui a huge fright.

Shen Fanyun glanced at Xu Lei thoughtfully. This physics teacher, who seems so gentle and bespectacled, always gives me the impression of being psychologically dark, even twisted and perverted.

"Is there a problem?" Shen Fanyun asked.

Xu Lei snapped, "I don’t want to talk to you!"

Shen Fanyun was puzzled.

"Ruoshui, I forbid you to go out with him. If you dare to walk out this door today, you’ll face the consequences," Xu Lei said harshly, the veins in his neck bulging. This was an abnormal state that appeared when his emotions grew extremely heightened.

Li Ruoshui had intended to speak to Xu Lei calmly. Who would have thought this guy would suddenly start ordering me around as if he’d lost his mind?

"Master Xu, I hope you understand that where I go and who I’m with is my personal freedom. It has nothing to do with you," Li Ruoshui emphasized. Then, she decisively took Shen Fanyun’s hand. "Right now, I need to get to the hotel with my boyfriend. Could you please step aside and not block the way?"

"Why? Why?" Xu Lei clenched his fists, screaming furiously. "I have the qualifications and the knowledge. I’m a genuine elite of society. Why wouldn’t you choose me? Why would you be with this trash?

"How am I inferior to him?"

This is getting a bit ridiculous. Shen Fanyun thought, a headache coming on. It felt like dealing with an imbecile. The key point was, he hadn’t done a single thing, yet this guy was mocking him and shamelessly claiming that Shen Fanyun was beneath comparison. How could I be expected to stand for this?

"Dude, how old are you?" Shen Fanyun asked curiously.

The corner of Xu Lei’s mouth twitched. "I don’t want to talk to you!"

Shen Fanyun was speechless.

"You’re a man in your forties. What kind of mentality and thick skin allows you to pursue a beautiful young woman in her twenties?

"The point is, you have such a high opinion of yourself, thinking you’re a dragon among men, an elite of society?

"Ruoshui is young enough to be your daughter. Don’t you feel ashamed for pursuing her?"

Shen Fanyun stepped in front of Xu Lei, looking down at him intimidatingly. Xu Lei’s face continued to twitch, his eyes bulging as if in a silent confrontation with Shen Fanyun. Yet, Shen Fanyun’s blunt words didn’t faze Xu Lei in the slightest. In his mind, Li Ruoshui was supposed to be with someone like him!

"Why are you acting like a hotheaded youth?" Shen Fanyun said, spreading his hands.

Li Ruoshui gave an awkward smile. It was indeed difficult to reason with someone so stubborn and impervious to logic, who lived perpetually in his own world.

Shen Fanyun then suggested, "How about we just beat him up?"

Li Ruoshui was startled. "Don’t be reckless. We should just go. There’s no need to complicate things."

Shen Fanyun shook his head. "But with people like this, if you don’t solve the problem for good, how can you expect to work in a pleasant atmosphere later?"

"Well, if it isn’t Xu Lei? Here to chat with Teacher Li again today?

"You even know to bring flowers? Quite the romantic."

Just then, a portly, balding old man approached with a smile, his hands clasped behind his back. He was just passing by and, seeing some familiar teachers, came over to say hello.

Shen Fanyun recognized him at a glance. It was the Director of Discipline, Han Wenshan. He was rumored to be a distant relative of Han Feng, though the exact relationship was unclear. But I have an extremely bad impression of this man. Back then, this person was one of the instigators who added fuel to the fire. I can’t believe he’s still working at the school after so many years. Judging by his appearance, he’s still the Director of Discipline? The only thing that’s changed is that he has even less hair.

"The atmosphere seems a bit off?" Han Wenshan wondered aloud. He looked from Li Ruoshui to Xu Lei and said with a grin, "Did you two have a fight?

"Xu Lei, Xu Lei, don’t you understand that when a girl is angry, you need to comfort her right away?

"If I were you, I’d give her a big hug right now instead of making the argument worse. When it comes to chasing girls, you have a lot to learn from me!"

Li Ruoshui quickly interjected, "Director Han, Master Xu and I are just ordinary colleagues. Please don’t make unfounded statements.

"Besides, we aren’t fighting. He’s blocking my way and won’t let me leave."

Xu Lei retorted, "I won’t let you leave with a shady character like him.

"That man is no good! I forbid you from having any contact with him!"

Shen Fanyun had been unjustly implicated again. He had gone from being a ’shady character’ to being ’no good.’

Only then did Han Wenshan look up and size up Shen Fanyun. So many years had passed that the once-inexperienced youth had long since transformed. Han Wenshan didn’t recognize him at first.

"Xu Lei, please show me some respect!" Li Ruoshui was genuinely furious. Is there something wrong with his brain?

"Master Xu is just looking out for you, Teacher Li. Please calm down," Han Wenshan said smoothly. "Since Master Xu suspects this guy isn’t a good person, then you should just listen to him and not go."

Han Wenshan scrutinized Shen Fanyun again. An inexplicable sense of foreboding made him uneasy, especially when he looked into Shen Fanyun’s eyes.

"It’s none of your damn business whether I go out or not! You’re like dogs trying to catch mice—just meddling."

What does she mean? Is this Li Ruoshui blatantly insinuating that I’m a dog?

"Li Ruoshui, you’ve got some nerve!" Han Wenshan’s fleshy face turned cold. "How dare you disrespect me, the Director of Discipline? Don’t you know what respect is?"

Is he deliberately looking for trouble? Shen Fanyun carefully considered the situation and finally understood. Han Wenshan wasn’t here to mediate at all; he was using this as an opportunity to target Li Ruoshui. In other words, they had past grievances, even conflicts. Though Han Wenshan seemed to be speaking kindly, his real target was Li Ruoshui.

"Did he bully you before?" Shen Fanyun asked.

In an instant, Li Ruoshui’s eyes welled up as various grievances flooded her heart. "Yes!"

BAM!

Without another word, Shen Fanyun sent Han Wenshan flying several meters with a single kick.
