I'm Secretly Married to a Big Shot Novel - Chapter 161
Chapter 161: It’s Him, the Mysterious Man!
She charged towards Qiao Mianmian with her arm raised.
Before the slap landed, someone had already grabbed her arm in mid-air.
One of the bodyguards had stepped in front of Qiao Mianmian and was swinging her arm away.
Lin Huizhen staggered a few meters from the force of the swing, and with a shriek, landed on the floor awkwardly.
She fell in a terrible position.
“Oh, ow! My back, it’s broken.” She moaned in agony on the floor.
“Mom!” Qiao Anxin widened her eyes and hurriedly went to help her up.
Lin Huizhen had one hand on her back while her face scrunched up in pain. “Master, you’ve got to help me with this. I can’t possibly stay in this house, being bullied by her! How could I?”
A few of the housemaids who had tried to stop the bodyguards were also on the floor.
With no proper training whatsoever, how could they be a match for these professional bodyguards?
One bodyguard could take down a group of them.
The rest dared not step forward after witnessing their prowess.
“Qiao Mianmian, you’re a horrible bully!”
Qiao Anxin helped Lin Huizhen to her feet. “My mother is your stepmother, and she’s your elder no matter what! How could you treat her like this! Do you think you can do whatever pleases you just because you’ve got a backing now!
“You’re ridiculous and immoral!”
Qiao Ruhai trembled from the anger and raised his arm to give Qiao Mianmian a slap too.
This time, Qiao Mianmian did not stay there to be hit by him.
She simply turned away expressionlessly.
Qiao Ruhai’s hand landed on air.
Seeing how Qiao Mianmian just evaded it, Qiao Ruhai was even more enraged. “Sinner! How dare you! You could even do this to your mother, I’ve got to teach this sinner a lesson!”
He then raised his arm again.
Qiao Ruhai was a very proud man.
Seeing the trouble his daughter had caused, all he wanted to do was to re-establish his authority as the head of the household.
“Old Master Qiao, if you do not wish for the Qiao Firm to end up like Sheng Hui Corporation, I suggest you do not act on impulse. You may not be able to bear the consequence of this slap.”
Father Qiao heard a firm, authoritative voice coming from behind him.
The man’s voice was not loud, but the room went silent the moment he spoke.
Qiao Anxin, standing beside him, became shocked.
She widened her eyes and turned around.
She saw a tall and imposing man with a domineering presence walking up the stairs.
A flicker of surprise flashed past her eyes.
It’s him! The mysterious man!
Although Qiao Anxin had been criticized by him the last time, she found that she simply couldn’t forget him after the incident.
She even dreamt of him.
She’d always thought that Su Ze was her one true love.
But after meeting this man, she realized that he was actually the one for her.
She’d liked him the moment she saw him.
The nervousness, excitement, and anticipation she felt when facing him were emotions she hadn’t felt with Su Ze.
