Chapter 275

["Why did they suddenly start fighting?"]

Everyone had this confusion until they saw who rushed over to beat up Jin Cai. At that moment, all the students' doubts were instantly cleared.

Because the person beating Jin Cai was Xi Jingshu, whose sister was Jin Cai's wife.

While Xi Jingshu's name suggested someone quiet and gentle, she was actually quite fierce, acting on impulse without considering consequences.

Logically, when normal people hear about such matters, they would gather evidence first to maximize their advantage.

Even if they chose to beat someone up without prior investigation, they would at least wait until they got home, when no outsiders were around.

But this sister was different. She chose to attack him right here, with all the notable figures of Blue City present.

Not only would this air their family's dirty laundry in public, but she could also be charged with assault in a public place.

Xi Jingshu's friends exchanged glances - one went to find her parents, while the other went to find her sister.

Without any prior coordination, everyone gave the same account: Jingshu heard someone say her brother-in-law had sexually harassed a female subordinate at work. Thinking of how her sister had always cared for her since childhood, she became furious and went to seek revenge on her sister's behalf. As you know, although Jingshu is straightforward, she has no malicious intent. If she wasn't concerned about her sister, she wouldn't have acted so impulsively.

Facing her friend's parents who looked livid, she remained composed and said, "What's done is done. Getting angry won't help. You might as well consider how to handle the aftermath."

Xi Jingshu's parents went off grumbling to investigate their son-in-law's alleged sexual harassment. Whether it was true or not, at this point it had to be treated as truth.

Xi Jingshu's sister chose to stay close to learn the details, buying time to resolve the situation.

In this critical moment, everyone showed unprecedented coordination.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although Xi Jingshu was a girl, she had a natural talent for fighting.

Her martial arts aptitude was enough to overcome the physical differences between men and women.

As Jin Cai was being beaten one-sidedly by Xi Jingshu, Ji Chunsheng just stood beside him without offering help. Instead of intervening, he actually took two steps back.

Jin Cai was in pain all over and tried to reach for Ji Chunsheng's help. Just as his hand was about to touch Ji Chunsheng's suit pants, Ji Chunsheng timely stepped out of the war zone.

Jin Cai couldn't believe there could be such an disloyal man - he wasn't even acting like a man at all.

Ji Chunsheng's thoughts were simple: this was a family matter, and he had no business interfering.

Moreover, the attacker was a girl. Getting into a physical altercation with a girl in public would look bad, and it would be hard to explain to Shi Ruan if she heard about it.

So Ji Chunsheng chose to be a cold, indifferent spectator.

There were many spectators like Ji Chunsheng around. As for guests willing to help, it wasn't that there weren't any - it was just unfortunate for those who tried.

The Sheng family's security guards came forward but, seeing that the attacker was a girl and her family members were around, they didn't dare to directly intervene and remove her.

By the time the female security guards from outside the villa finally arrived, Xi Jingshu had satisfied her urge to beat him up and allowed herself to be pulled away.

The originally peaceful banquet hall scene was disrupted by this small commotion. The dancing and chatting crowds stopped, with only the hired band continuing their serene performance.

The original dinner party had descended into chaos, and the host definitely needed to appear to resolve the situation.

Seeing everyone gathering to watch the spectacle, Master Sheng, who had been engaged in pleasant conversation, had to step in to handle the aftermath.

Xi Jingshu's parents had already prepared for the aftermath and approached the host very sincerely, saying, "Our Xi Jingshu is usually quiet and well-behaved, not the type to cause trouble. She would never intentionally harm others. Perhaps Jin Cai must have done something to provoke her into acting this way in public, despite her ladylike upbringing."

Other students thought: Usually, hearing such words would be quite annoying, but this time it felt completely different - why did it feel so satisfying?

Jin Cai was about to die from anger. He could tolerate anyone else's child being called a lady, but their Xi Jingshu? She had been fighting with male classmates like a shrew since elementary school. What's more ridiculous was that she once beat up a male student who was two heads taller than her until he was covered in bumps. How could they say she doesn't cause trouble? Couldn't they be a bit more objective?

Jin Cai felt utterly wronged. He had been having an animated conversation when suddenly a flying kick landed on his waist.

He had only heard legends about Xi Jingshu's glorious fighting record before and thought people were exaggerating. Plus, his wife, Xi Jingshu's sister, often told him these were just rumors, so he partly believed it - after all, how many girls could really beat up men? It must have been exaggerated.

Now he finally witnessed it firsthand, becoming one of her punching bags, and realized it wasn't just rumors.

Flying kicks were something he had only seen in movies before, but now he not only saw it but experienced it.

That damn girl Xi Jingshu really knew how to hurt people.

"Damn you," he thought, "if you're such a good fighter, why don't you go compete in the UFC and bring glory to our country?"

Jin Cai cursed internally - his father-in-law and mother-in-law were really good at distorting black and white.

Ignoring his pain, he immediately demanded Master Sheng check the surveillance footage to see if he had any interaction with Xi Jingshu since arriving at the venue.

He wanted to know whether he had really done something despicable, or if Xi Jingshu was just crazy to suddenly attack him.

While confronting the Xi family parents, Jin Cai looked to his wife for help with pleading eyes.

Although his wife was Xi Jingshu's sister, since she had married him, they were family now. She should support him, her husband, rather than side with the Xi family.

Jin Cai's family had some minor influence in Blue City, but not as much as the Xi family, making him somewhat of a live-in son-in-law.

Therefore, at this banquet, Jin Cai's parents weren't present. Only his younger cousin was there, brought in under the guise of being his secretary, and was already terrified by everything that had happened.

Seeing his cousin shrinking in the corner, Jin Cai was furious. What a disgrace, especially after all the care he had shown the kid.

To prove he hadn't provoked Xi Jingshu, Jin Cai firmly insisted on reviewing the venue's surveillance footage.

However, no one present was willing to address his unreasonable demand.

Xi Jingshu's parents repeatedly apologized to Master Sheng, promising to better educate their son-in-law and ensure such mistakes wouldn't happen again. They also had their daughter apologize to him, seemingly putting an end to this drama.

The previously subdued atmosphere in the venue quickly heated up after this small incident.

Even the performing artists changed their originally soothing music to a more upbeat rhythm.

Everyone enthusiastically discussed the recent fight and related gossip.

Shi Li couldn't help but think sarcastically, [So you see, sometimes you just need a fight to liven up the party]

Others: Oh, so you still remember that incident.
