Chapter 19: Counterattack

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yuan Shu didn’t say anything. She just smiled at Tan Jing.

As Shi Bin looked at the smiling Yuan Shu, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

She had the same expression before she beat Tan Zhao up that day.

Since she showed the same expression today, did she plan to beat Tan Jing up?

However, Tan Jing clearly didn’t realize the danger. He was still smiling at Yuan Shu.

This was the first time Yuan Shu smiled at him since he entered the room. Tan Jing felt his heart racing.

“As expected, an aloof woman looks even more beautiful when she smiles. I wonder what she’s planning to do,” Tan Jing thought.

Tan Jing was secretly praising Yuan Shu for having a beautiful smile when in the next second, he fell onto the sofa and felt a sharp pain on his left cheek.

What was going on? Tan Jing was stunned.

The secretary was also stunned. He didn’t expect Yuan Shu to dare to beat President Tan. When Tan Zhao was beaten last time, the secretary was waiting outside the door and didn’t see the miserable scene. Today, he finally understood why Tan Zhao was limping at that time.

This woman was really ruthless when she attacked!

After the secretary came back to his senses, he quickly helped Tan Jing up. “President Tan! Are you alright?”

Yuan Shu moved her fingers and looked down at Tan Jing as she said, “It seems that the matter between us has been resolved. President Tan, you can return home in satisfaction now.”

As Shi Bin watched this scene from the sofa, his mouth dropped agape in shock.

Satisfaction? What satisfaction? Satisfaction from being beaten?

Why didn’t he know that Yuan Shu was so bold? Wasn’t she afraid that Tan Jing would get angry and hit her?

Thinking of this, Shi Bin quietly shifted his position to ensure that if Tan Jing wanted to harm Yuan Shu, he could protect her immediately.

Fortunately, Tan Jing had no intention of retaliating. He touched his cheek with his tongue and sighed as he said, “In that case, I’ll take my leave.” Tan Jing still maintained a polite and civilized demeanor. He bade farewell politely before walking out.

However, when he turned around, his expression was a little ugly.

Today, not only did he not find out anything, he even had to apologize for his brother and was punched for no reason.

Damn it! It hurt so much!

This woman must have hit him with a dumbbell!

Just as Tan Jing was complaining inwardly, Yuan Shu’s voice sounded again. “Mr. Tan, please take care. I won’t send you off. Li Yue, bring two ice packs for Mr. Tan to reduce the swelling. Also, pack the cherries that were sent over this morning for Mr. Tan as my compensation.”

Li Yue quickly packed and handed the things to the secretary.

Tan Jing couldn’t tell if Yuan Shu was mocking him or sincerely giving him a gift, but he accepted it and his secretary brought it back to the car.

“President Tan, should we go to the hospital first?” The secretary looked at the left side of Tan Jing’s face worriedly. Yuan Shu’s punch had caused quite a commotion.

“No need. Let’s go back to the office.”

The decision to return to the company became Tan Jing’s biggest mistake.

When he stepped into the company building, the employees passing by looked at him in shock. Then, they immediately lowered their heads and left in a hurry. However, Tan Jing was quite satisfied with this since he felt that everyone was working hard.

The secretary brought over the ice pack with trembling hands as he said, “President Tan, why don’t we go to the hospital? Your face doesn’t look too good now.”

Tan Jing didn’t expect that Yuan Shu, who looked gentle and meek, could make his face swell for three days with a single punch.

On the first day at the company, his face was actually alright. Only half of his face was swollen, and when he returned home, the doctor prescribed some external medicine. Therefore, Tan Jing didn’t take this matter to heart.

When he woke up early to wash up the next day, Tan Jing looked at himself in the mirror, then he decided to work from home.

The left side of his face was swollen like a steamed bun and there were four small round bruises. If he guessed correctly, it was caused by Yuan Shu’s knuckles. Coupled with the fact that this wound appeared on Tan Jing’s face, he looked like a German Shepherd whose face had been stung by a bee.

As Tan Jing looked at the bruises on his face, he suddenly thought of Yuan Shu’s red joints after beating him that day. Yuan Shu’s hands were pink, making them look like high-quality jade.

“My face is swollen and her hands are injured, so let’s call it even.” Tan Jing comforted himself.

However, Yuan Shu was really interesting.

Although her actions were rude and aggressive, she was elegant and dignified, and she was polite. No one could find fault with her.

However, if one were to say that she was polite, which graceful and polite wife would grab someone by the collar and beat him up like a hooligan? After beating him up, she got someone to send him off without even apologizing.

Tan Jing stuffed a cherry into his mouth.

It was sweet and delicious.

He ate another one.
