Even After My Death-Chapter 103 - 88: Furiously Beating Mu Mingxuan
Chapter 103: Chapter 88: Furiously Beating Mu Mingxuan
Listening to Huo Ziheng’s brainless remarks, honestly, Jiang Ning suddenly felt an itch in her hand, especially seeing the asking-for-a-beating expression on Huo Ziheng’s face, it made her almost unable to resist the urge to hit someone.
Jiang Ning spoke coldly, "If you keep looking at me like that, I’ll gouge out your eyes."
Her tone and attitude instantly reminded Huo Ziheng of the dark history when he had been beaten up by Jiang Ning before.
"!!!"
Without saying another word, Huo Ziheng immediately turned to the side and even closed his eyes.
Jiang Ning let out a short laugh, tinged with a hint of mockery.
Huo Miao was also a little afraid that Jiang Ning might suddenly hit someone, but seeing the other guests behind Jiang Ning, Huo Miao felt reassured.
With so many people around, surely everyone wouldn’t just stand by and watch her and Huo Ziheng get beaten up!
Huo Miao stamped her foot and said with feigned dissatisfaction, "Jiang Ning, why are you threatening my second brother?"
Jiang Ning’s expression was enigmatic, "Your second brother?"
Huo Miao’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly responded, "Of course! I’ve been calling him second brother for more than twenty years, have you forgotten what you said when you left the Huo Family?"
The day Jiang Ning left, she had indeed said that from then on, she would have nothing to do with the Huo Family!
"I haven’t forgotten. What’s yours is yours, right? I don’t want to pick through the trash, and that includes people." Jiang Ning’s expression was somewhat indifferent as she tossed Huo Ziheng’s earlier words back at him, "You all should really think about why at that banquet, out of so many people, it was only you two that I kicked into the water. Why, after I’ve been back at the Huo Family for so long, you are still you, and I am still me. Sometimes, instead of posturing and impotent rage, it’s better to look for the reason within yourselves."
Regaining his composure, Huo Ziheng’s face showed embarrassment. He hadn’t expected that, having been beaten up by Jiang Ning only twice, his body had remembered the pain she inflicted. The dodging just now was simply a subconscious reflex, not his true intention at all!
As a man, how could he possibly be afraid of a woman like Jiang Ning!
[Eh? What did Jiang Ning just say?]
[Why do I feel like there’s more to their conversation than meets the eye?]
[Heh! So, at the banquet that day, Jiang Ning not only kicked Miaomiao into the water but also her entire family? And she still has the audacity to say it outright, is Trash Jiang sick in the head?]
[Why did she use the word "return"? The Huo Family is Miaomiao’s home, not hers. Is Jiang Ning treating the Huo Family as if it were her own?]
Mother Huo’s heart trembled as she read the comments on the screen, but soon enough, these normal comments were immediately suppressed by the paid commentators hired by the Huo Family.
...
Mu Mingxuan had heard a bit about Jiang Ning’s sudden appearance at the banquet and how she kicked all the Huo family members into the water, and afterward, he even made a special call to Jiang Ning to vent on behalf of Huo Miao.
At this moment, seeing Jiang Ning’s witty retorts, and naturally not tolerating Huo Miao being aggrieved in front of him, he stood up to defend Huo Miao, scolding Jiang Ning, "Jiang Ning, watch your tone when you’re speaking to Miaomiao."
"Respect?" Jiang Ning had never heard such a ludicrous request, "Is she my aunt or my mother? Why should I respect her?"
Huo Miao’s expression turned slightly odd, and Mu Mingxuan also showed an embarrassed face as he gritted his teeth and said, "She is my future wife! The future lady of the Mu Family!"
[Wow, wow, wow! True to form as Miaomiao’s fiancé, such a domineering statement!]
[And King of Cool and Broken Pride! Hahahahaha, I can’t believe I’m seeing a bossy CEO quote from a novel in a variety show.]
[President Mu’s boyfriend power is off the charts, the sense of security is real!]
[Ugh, ugh, ugh, is it just me or does that statement feel super cringey?]
"...Oh," Jiang Ning’s expression unchanged, she lazily looked up, "And then what?"
"What do you mean ’and then’? Seeing her so uncooperative, Mu Mingxuan’s face darkened, "Jiang Ning, living in society isn’t just about having self-confidence and arrogance. The status of our Mu Family in Capital City, you might not be aware of. Some things don’t happen as simply as you imagine."
[Ah? Are they really resorting to threats now?]
[F***, us workers hate capitalists’ threats the most!]
[What threat? This is clearly President Mu speaking up for Miaomiao because Jiang Ning was so disrespectful before!]
[President Mu is right; nowadays, isn’t promotion and getting a raise all about connections? Jiang Ning has no money, no power, no status; the Mu Family can make her disappear from Capital City if they want to.]
[What the hell? We live in a rule of law society! Even if you’re rich, you can’t do whatever you want, okay!]
The barrage of comments was noisy, but Jiang Ning, who had been threatened by Mu Mingxuan, remained calm. Moreover, at this moment, she suddenly remembered something.
Jiang Ning looked at Mu Mingxuan, her gaze somewhat dangerous, "Do you know why I agreed to participate in this reality show?"
Mu Mingxuan was not interested, "Who knows you?"
Jiang Ning stepped forward, her tone even, "Because the director said you would also be attending this variety show, I wanted to come and see you."
[What the hell! That’s Miaomiao’s fiancé! Trash Jiang, stay away from Miaomiao’s fiancé!]
[Ahhh, I’m going crazy, how can there be someone as disgusting as Trash Jiang in the world, failing to seduce before and being kicked out of the Huo Family, and now recklessly running to Miaomiao’s fiancé to seduce him?!]
[The production team, tell me where Trash Jiang’s body is kept! When she wakes up, see if I don’t drown her in saliva!]
[Sisters upstairs, I’ll have my grandfather bring a truck of manure over, to wash her brain!]
Clearly, Mu Mingxuan thought the same as the audience in front of the screen, and after hearing Jiang Ning say that, he showed a look of strong aversion towards Jiang Ning as she approached, "Even if you like me that much, in my heart there’s only Miaomiao, I..."
What kind of nonsense is this guy talking about?
Unable to tolerate it any longer, Jiang Ning stepped forward and swung a fist at Mu Mingxuan.
"Ah!"
The words Mu Mingxuan had not yet finished turned instantly into a cry of pain!
Jiang Ning’s punch landed heavily on Mu Mingxuan’s face, and he felt a surge of force hit him before he could react; he had been punched.
Mu Mingxuan couldn’t help but stumble back a few steps, falling to the ground.
[Damn it! She hit someone!!!]
[What’s wrong with Jiang Ning! Starts hitting people without even a word?]
[Does Trash Jiang have a tendency for violence?]
[Miaomiao’s fiancé can sue her now, right?]
[Whoever hits first is at fault, no matter what, you can’t just hit people.]
Not to mention the shocked audience in front of the screen, even Huo Miao standing beside them did not expect that Jiang Ning would dare to directly hit someone, especially Mu Mingxuan!
Huo Miao let out a cry of surprise, then immediately went forward to help. After helping Mu Mingxuan up, Huo Miao couldn’t help but turn back to Jiang Ning and yell angrily, "Jiang Ning, how can you just hit people so casually!"
"Just hit people casually?" Jiang Ning sneered coldly, "I am just claiming back the debt he owed me!"
"It’s impossible, Brother Mingxuan would never borrow money from you!" Huo Miao replied without even thinking.
Jiang Ning said coldly, "Who said it has to be a debt of money? If not for him, why would I have been lying in the hospital for an entire month!"
Mu Mingxuan, with a punched face, darkened his expression, "For this trivial matter, you specially chased after a variety show to hit me?"
Jiang Ning retorted, "Otherwise? Did I run to a variety show to chase after you?"
After she finished the latter half of the sentence, Jiang Ning seemed disgusted by her own words, showing a look of extreme aversion on her face.
Mu Mingxuan was at a loss for words, he couldn’t believe he thought... Mu Mingxuan’s face was filled with both anger and embarrassment, in the end, all he could do was drop four words angrily, "Illogical and unreasonable!"
Jiang Ning didn’t care about him that much, gesturing provocatively with her hand to Mu Mingxuan, "Come on, let’s fight."
Huo Miao was currently helping Mu Mingxuan, and with a cold glance from Jiang Ning, Huo Miao instantly remembered Jiang Ning’s record of taking on three at the Huo Family Villa.
Jiang Ning is crazy!
She really would hit someone!
Huo Miao didn’t think twice, and immediately let go of the hand supporting Mu Mingxuan.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning directly threw punches at Mu Mingxuan with ferocity.
To dare to say letting her stay in the hospital for a month was a small matter!
She had to let Mu Mingxuan know just how formidable her fists were!
[That’s... that’s terrible...]
[Hahaha, where are the people who just said Jiang Ning came to the variety show to chase after Mu Mingxuan? Come out and see.]
