855 Who Would Bully Shen Hanxing?
Ji Yan withdrew his hand elegantly and took out a white handkerchief to wipe his fingers. “My wife never bullies people for no reason. If she does, she must have her reasons.”
Ji Yan had absolute trust in Shen Hanxing, but his expression made him seem unreasonable. Ji Yan made it clear. Shen Hanxing would never bully others, but if she did, it was definitely not her fault. Lu Shaoyang heard Ji Yan’s words and turned pale.
Shen Hanxing could not help but laugh. She held Ji Yan’s hand and asked gently, “Why are you here, Mr. Ji?”
“I just got the news. I know you’re kind-hearted. I’m afraid that someone will bully you.” Ji Yan held Shen Hanxing’s hand back, and his dark eyes were filled with warmth. After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Shaoyang who was holding his hand and sweating profusely.
Young Master Lu was so angry that he was about to puke blood. This couple was really unreasonable! Who would bully Shen Hanxing? He should be the one being bullied now!
When Ji Yan appeared, Qiao Xi’s face turned pale. When everyone went silent, she gently bit her lip and took a step forward as she said, “President Ji, Madam Ji…”
Shen Hanxing’s smile faded when she saw Qiao Xi. Her eyes were cold as she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Under Shen Hanxing’s gaze, Qiao Xi’s shoulders trembled. There was an indescribable fear and cowardice in her heart, and the glow on her face faded. The confidence that she had built up after she joined the foundation seemed to have been destroyed in an instant. She hunched her back and looked extremely timid. She seemed so pitiful.
Seeing Qiao Xi’s expression, the team leader got a little angry and shouted, “Straighten your back!”
Qiao Xi trembled again. Her eyes were watery as she looked at the team leader with hope. “Team Leader…” The team leader’s tone was a little fierce, but she did not feel afraid at all. Instead, she felt a little familiar and nostalgic.
The team leader had a swift and decisive personality. There were a lot of things to deal with at the Golden Foundation. She was an impatient person. When she first met Qiao Xi who was soft and easy to bully, she always had a headache. No matter what others did, Qiao Xi would obey to them. She would not fight back even when others spoke to her in a bad tone. She would follow the orders aggrievedly, making it difficult for others to blame her further. In the long run, the team leader got used to correcting her all the time. It was obvious that she had shouted to Qiao Xi out of instinct.
Thinking of what Qiao Xi had done, the team leader’s face darkened a little. She stared at Qiao Xi for a long time before saying, “No matter what you want to say, straighten your back. I have met so many people in my life, I didn’t expect to make this mistake.” She thought that Qiao Xi was a pitiful child, but she was much more ambitious.
The team leader laughed self-deprecatingly. “If you did such a thing, don’t put on the pitiful look of a victim. You’re the one who did something wrong. Why do you have to put on that pitiful look?” It was too ridiculous. Was she trying to beg for mercy?
Hearing the team leader’s words, Qiao Xi’s eyes widened and her heart ached. “I’m not…I didn’t …” She opened her mouth with difficulty, but she did not know how to explain. She lowered her head and muttered, “I didn’t pretend to be pitiful…” She just didn’t know how to face Mrs. Ji. Moreover, the person she liked was standing in front of her, looking down at her. This made her even more nervous. No girl could bear being in a sorry state in front of her crush.
Qiao Xi was extremely embarrassed at this moment. Just standing there used up all her courage. She was too ashamed. She wished she could turn back time and slap herself in the face!
“Yes, you didn’t pretend to be pitiful. You’re just trying to show that you’re pitiful.” Shen Hanxing’s gaze swept past Qiao Xi and she said with a hint of mockery, “Su Ling is right about one thing. Qiao Xi, the worst thing about you is that you can’t be completely bad. You’re neither good nor bad, that’s annoying.”
Qiao Xi’s pupils trembled as she raised her head. She did not expect Shen Hanxing to say these.
