Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon-Chapter 36: That woman hit me!
Chapter 36: Chapter 36: That woman hit me!
Sanya couldn’t find Qin Zhuzhu at all. She called and called her phone, but there was no answer. People were running helter-skelter, and someone was shouting, "Fire!"
Why isn’t that girl picking up? She strode around, looking for Qin Zhuzhu, until she saw something.
She looked out a large glass window and saw that fiancé carrying her into a car before driving off! She quickly rushed out to chase after the car, but she wasn’t fast enough. The car had sped off into the distance.
Thinking that Qin Zhuzhu must have come to harm, Sanya quickly hailed a taxi and gave chase.
At the hospital, Luo Yue explained the situation to Sanya, who started to make trouble at the reception desk.
"Shit! This is all my fault!" Sanya cursed and blamed herself.

"That woman hit me!" Shentu Mingye cried out once again as he tried to explain what had happened at the exhibition the night before.
Shentu Jing sighed, obviously not believing his youngest brother when he claimed the reason he wasn’t able to attend the speech was because some woman crashed a drone onto his head.
Mingye? Getting punched in the eye by some unknown woman and losing to her? That didn’t sound like the same Shentu Mingye he knew, who wouldn’t hesitate to ditch all those girls throwing themselves at him. He wouldn’t even hesitate to shame them or trip them over—literally, trip them with his shoes.
"I’m serious. I’m not lying!" Shentu Mingye claimed for the one hundredth time.
"Fine. Okay, I believe you. Alright? Stop following me," Shentu Jing said. He tried to dismiss him, but it was so hard because the latter followed him around like a bee to honey.
Shentu Jing was still trying to process what had happened the night before. He knew at once what that perverted man had tried to do to Qin Zhuzhu, and it was all planned by someone. He made that perverted man pay by throwing him into jail. The man was beaten up in jail until no one could recognize him.
His lustful look made Shentu Jing feel disgusted. And until now, he still remembered the fearful look in her eyes as she shifted her gaze and locked onto him, and how she instinctively grabbed his arm and scratched his cheek.
He dared to touch Little Pearl!? That bastard would feel his wrath for touching his woman. Qin Zhuzhu was his and his alone. No, he wasn’t going to let some bastard get away with this.
One might ask, what did he do to resolve the situation so that it didn’t turn into a huge uproar? Well, he did what he could. The perverted man turned out to be the CEO of another company. This CEO had a reputation for going to brothels and playing with women. With one strike, Shentu Jing made his entire company bankrupt and charged him with fraud!
However, the perverted CEO’s brother, a haughty and proud man who valued his reputation, heard what had happened to his younger brother and went to talk with Shentu Jing. Shentu Jing threatened to reveal the shady deals and his illegal business involving prostitutes. That did it because the brother immediately shut up and didn’t pursue the matter further.
Although it made the brother keep his mouth shut, it didn’t stop the public from whispering and pointing fingers. Journalists and reporters even tried to push their way in just to get a good grasp on the situation. Someone had secretly recorded Shentu Jing carrying Qin Zhuzhu out of the VIP room.
"Ah Xian! Get Ding Yu to find out who’s behind these news and shut their accounts down!" Shentu Jing said furiously.
Han Juexian nodded and texted Ding Yu.
He wanted to ask Qin Zhuzhu about what had happened, but he decided not to touch her sore spot. He sent her home the night before with Sanya. Shentu Jing insisted on accompanying them, so Sanya agreed. Qin Zhuzhu was very quiet the entire way.
Shentu Jing didn’t ask her about the matter because they were in the company of the driver and Sanya. He sat beside the driver while the two ladies sat in the back. All the while, Zhuzhu looked out the window. The car was eerily quiet. The driver noticed that his passengers were in a tense situation, so he didn’t say anything.
Qin Zhuzhu looked away from the window and glanced at the rearview mirror, where she saw Shentu Jing’s face. He had a plaster on his cheek and looked exhausted.
Before he could catch her looking at him, she quickly returned her gaze to the window and the scenery beyond.
---
A few days later.
The atmosphere was awkward in the Shentu mansion. Shentu Jing wouldn’t say a word about what had happened, and he was still wearing a plaster. Shentu Mingye was fuming with anger nonstop.
Shentu Jing took out his phone and hesitated to message Qin Zhuzhu. Why should he bother about whether she was doing well or not? He found himself asking. Since when had he started to get so concerned about her?
Someone had spread the news that Shentu Mingye, the youngest master of the Shentu family, had been assaulted. Shentu Mingye was quite popular with ladies and in the entertainment industry, so it was no wonder that many people knew about him.
Many reporters crowded outside the gates of the Shentu mansion, hoping to see Shentu Mingye. Some of his fans were outraged at the unruly girl who had punched him.
Shentu Chu forced Shentu Mingye to address the situation, and Shentu Mingye sent his assistant, Ben Dan, to hush all the reporters and journalists away.
Shentu Mingye did it not because Shentu Chu asked him to but because he wanted to save himself from shame. Yes, he had been beaten and punched by a woman. He did not want his terrible-looking face to appear on the front cover of magazines or on social media.
Although Shentu Mingye did his best, he still couldn’t avoid the cameras and paparazzi that sneakily took pictures of him. So, the very next morning, his ’ugly’ face was published on the front page of every news site and magazine. Shentu Mingye himself almost died of shock when he saw it.
"I want the woman to be found!" He roared.
The next second...
"Oh my god!!!! Second brother!!! Ah Xian!!!" Shentu Mingye’s reaction was so loud that it could have bomb the whole mansion.
