Zhao Family Tower, top floor.
Just after covering Xu Yinsheng’s body with a blanket, Zhao Yicheng had only tapped away on the keyboard for a few minutes when a noise came from behind him.
Xu Yinsheng suddenly flipped over like a carp coming back to life, startlingly springing upright.
“No way! No way! I’ve never met anyone more arrogant than me!”
“I can’t take it anymore!!”
Under Zhao Yicheng’s confused gaze, Xu Yinsheng hurriedly put on her shoes and dashed toward the elevator, but just as she reached the elevator doors, she abruptly turned back and snatched the goji berry and red date tea from his hand.
“Miss Bai, don’t go too far.”
Jin Xinnuo covered her scalded arm, teeth clenched with fury, yet utterly powerless against the other party.
In terms of wealth, connections, and status, she was no match for her.
Though Jin Xinnuo had worked hard to earn a seven-figure annual salary, social mobility like that would take three generations or more.
Being doused with hot water felt horrible.
But who was the other party?
The third princess of the Bai Group, whose net worth and background far surpassed Jin Xinnuo’s.
If it weren’t for a few scraps of silver, who would work here and endure such humiliation?
“Too far?”
Bai Ruoxi snorted lightly.
“I haven’t even settled accounts with you yet, and you’re already biting back.”
“You’re no good, and that Zhao Yicheng isn’t either—he’s crooked, just like his father. My dad told me not to get angry at him and even asked me to marry him obediently, but when I just argued a little, he froze my card.”
As she spoke, Bai Ruoxi grew more irate, her disdain for Jin Xinnuo increasing by the second.
She stomped her foot and pointed her finger right at Jin Xinnuo’s nose.
“It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, my card wouldn’t have been stopped, and I wouldn’t have suffered this humiliation!!”
Ding!
The elevator doors suddenly parted in the middle, and crisp applause rang out from inside, followed by a clear and pleasant female voice:
“Miss Bai, you’re right—Zhao Yicheng really isn’t a good person. No, he’s a mentally ill pervert, a good-for-nothing who wastes air while alive and wastes land when dead.”
“But…”
Immediately after, Xu Yinsheng stepped out of the elevator, appearing before them.
She stood in front of Jin Xinnuo and turned to face Bai Ruoxi.
“You’re no good either.”
In the next moment, the goji berry and red date tea splashed straight onto Bai Ruoxi’s face.
“Ah!”
Bai Ruoxi screamed, instinctively covering her face with both hands.
The warm tea seeped through her fingers, dripping onto the floor, with stray goji berries and red dates clinging embarrassingly to her damp hair.
Xu Yinsheng never believed in taking a step back to achieve peace.
Violence must be met with violence to make those who use it understand its consequences!
Decisive and ruthless actions reveal a compassionate heart.
Simply put, reason must be dealt with by category—reason with those who can reason, and fists with those who cannot.
The goji berry and red date tea wasn’t as scalding as Bai Ruoxi’s cup of hot cocoa, but having it poured over her in public was an unprecedented humiliation.
How dare she?
How could she?
Did she not know who she was?
As the daughter of the Bai Group’s CEO, Bai Ruoxi was undoubtedly the most favored at home—used to having her every whim fulfilled.
Everyone showed her three degrees of courtesy out of respect for her father’s status.
But now!!
“You, you, you!”
Bai Ruoxi pointed at Xu Yinsheng, too furious to speak clearly.
“What me!”
Xu Yinsheng cut her off without mercy.
“Don’t like it? Bite me!”
“You think you can splash tea on others but not have it done to you? What, you want to sue me? Do you know who I’m backed by? I can hire a top-tier lawyer! Money’s no problem for me.”
“Oh, and I’ve heard something.”
“Your Bai Group looks like it’s thriving now, but in reality, it’s like a fire raging over oil—an enormous internal mess. According to insiders, you’re even behind on employee salaries. Don’t know if you still have money to afford lawyers.”
“Oops! I slipped up again!”
Xu Yinsheng covered her mouth innocently while looking at Bai Ruoxi’s head dripping with goji berries and red dates.
“Sorry, Miss Bai, but Zhao gege told me all this when he was in bed with me. What can I say? He spoils me too much~”
These rumors were true, and if even one leaked out, the Bai Group’s stock price would definitely take a hit.
As for how Xu Yinsheng knew these insider details—she’d overheard Zhao Yicheng talking about them during meals.
After this tea-based attack, Bai Ruoxi trembled with rage, wanting to curse, but having never been exposed to the lower class, she had no idea how to elegantly insult someone’s parents.
In the end, she could only manage a feeble retort.
“You’re a mistress!”
“A mistress?”
Xu Yinsheng smiled upon hearing this.
“Miss Bai, you need to understand your own status. Your father arranged this marriage between you and Zhao Yicheng just to raise cash and keep the company afloat.”
“Put simply, your father is selling his daughter.”
“Who do you think you are? Princess Highness?”
“You’re just merchandise! Whether this ‘merchandise’ can be sold depends entirely on the owner’s mood.”
“Besides.”
Xu Yinsheng glanced disdainfully at Bai Ruoxi’s flat chest, then tapped her own ample bosom, which rose and fell provocatively, drawing attention.
“He likes mature, tall women with long legs. A flat-chested, short little girl like you just doesn’t interest him.”
Bai Ruoxi gritted her teeth furiously: “Who did you call flat-chested?!”
“The short little girl with a flat chest.”
Xu Yinsheng now found teasing her more entertaining, blinking innocently with a pure expression.
“Miss Bai, what’s wrong? I’m talking about that flat-chested, short little girl, not you.”
“Why is your face so red~”
Bai Ruoxi’s cheeks burned hot with anger, her starry eyes blazing as she glared fiercely at Xu Yinsheng.
If looks could kill, Xu Yinsheng would already be riddled with wounds.
Raised like a princess pampered in the palm of a hand, she’d never endured such contemptuous looks before.
Being called flat-chested was no less than an insult for a woman!
She furiously charged forward, wanting to hit her, but was stopped by a strong, powerful arm.
“Let go!” Bai Ruoxi struggled hard but to no avail.
“You say ‘let me go,’ but if I do, how can I save face?”
Xu Yinsheng pinched the soft flesh on the little girl’s cheek.
“You short little girl, no figure and no… what do you have to fight me with? If you want to steal my man, go home and train for decades first.”
A mischievous gleam suddenly flashed in Xu Yinsheng’s eyes.
She lowered her head, leaning close to Bai Ruoxi’s ear and whispered so only they could hear.
“Little sister, I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll tell you a secret.”
“Want to know how to please a man?”
“You have to…”
Watching Bai Ruoxi cover her flushed, embarrassed face and flee in panic, Xu Yinsheng’s smile grew even brighter.
Bullying kids was quite fun.
She took out two lollipops from her pants pocket, popping one into her mouth and handing the other to Jin Xinnuo.
Jin Xinnuo took the lollipop, a strange expression flashing across her face before she quickly composed herself.
“Thanks, junior sister.”
“No problem, it’s no big deal.”
Xu Yinsheng, chewing her candy, casually hooked her arm around Jin Xinnuo’s shoulder, acting like close friends.
“Senior sister, have you had lunch?”
“Yes.”
“Then senior sister, treat me to some afternoon tea, as a reward.”
“Of course.”
