Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Teach Her

Yan Yi’s brows furrowed slightly as he sat on the sofa without getting up, his gaze faint and tinged with displeasure as he looked at Lin Yinyin and Xia Ran, "What happened now?"

"Look at Xia Ran’s face, what that person from the Fu Family has done to her!" Lin Yinyin angrily pulled Xia Ran closer, yanking her hand away from her face to reveal the half-hidden bruises.

The swollen half of her face, along with a blue bruise on her brow bone and her tear-filled eyes, made her look quite pitiful.

Just as he was about to leave, Hang Mushan, who stopped by for a bit of gossip, turned his head and saw Xia Ran, who looked like a pig’s head, and couldn’t help but exclaim,

"Wow, her face is swollen like a pig’s head! Whoever did this was really vicious."

Yan Yi twisted his brows, straightened up from his slouch on the sofa, and his gaze fell on Xia Ran’s swollen face, "How did this happen?"

Tears filled Xia Ran’s eyes as she weakly clutched Lin Yinyin’s hand, her lips quivering as she forced a smile toward Yan Yi, her expression one of loss, "Nothing happened... I’m fine, it’s all my fault."

Lin Yinyin, frustrated beyond measure, stretched out her hand and forcefully poked Xia Ran’s forehead, "What fault do you have? You just went to apologize to Shen Yanhe, that bitch, and she went crazy and beat you like this!"

Xia Ran had run out of the café when she happened to bump into Lin Yinyin, who was passing by.

Seeing the injuries on her face caused by Shen Yanhe and hearing Xia Ran’s sobbing, Lin Yinyin, fueled by anger and exaggeration, decided to take Xia Ran back to the café to settle accounts with Shen Yanhe.

But when the two of them returned to the café, Shen Yanhe and Fu Yanhe had already left.

Xia Ran was beaten, and on top of that, the three of them were kicked out of Spring Herbs Café today; all these incidents combined were too much for Lin Yinyin to swallow.

But she knew she couldn’t compete with Fu Yanhe with her own abilities.

The only option was to seek outside help.

So, she called to find out where Yan Daishan and Yan Yi were and took Xia Ran straight over.

Lin Yinyin took a deep breath, turned to Yan Yi, and quickly relayed the incident involving Xia Ran.

After speaking, she couldn’t help but sneer, "That bitch only dares to bully Xia Ran because she’s backed by Fu Yanhe! They even kicked us out of Spring Herbs today."

"Yan Yi, Xia Ran is your fiancée after all, and now she’s being bullied by a country bumpkin like this. Aren’t you going to stand up for her?"

Having heard the whole story, Hang Mushan also clicked his tongue, not in a hurry to leave anymore, but instead sat back on the sofa, grabbing a handful of sunflower seeds and cracking them eagerly, chiming in, "Yeah, old Yan, they are stepping all over your face by bullying your fiancée, aren’t they?"

"Any man wouldn’t tolerate this." As Hang Mushan crunched on the seeds, he looked at Xia Ran with pity and asked, "Hey, poor thing, tell me, who bullied you? I’ll stand up for you."

Upon hearing this, a dark glint flashed in the eyes of Xia Ran, who was silently nursing her sorrow.

Hang Mushan didn’t often come back to the country and was still a stranger to Xia Ran and Lin Yinyin.

Xia Ran didn’t know the extent of his influence, but he was still ready to stand up for her despite knowing it involved the Fu Family.

If he were to help her...

Suppressing her excitement, Xia Ran looked up at Hang Mushan with her wet, pitiable eyes, pressed her lips together, and shook her head, "No need."

She gave a bitter smile, "It was indeed my fault. I spoke out of turn earlier, and her anger leading to hitting me was deserved."

Xia Ran faintly smiled at Hang Mushan, "But thank you for being willing to stand up for me."

Under the flickering lights of the bar, her delicate figure appeared frail, like a wildflower in the wild being battered by fierce wind and rain, yet still embracing the storm.

Hang Mushan clicked his tongue again.

Looking so pitiful, yet too saintly for his taste.

Yan Yi’s expression also cooled.

Although he didn’t like Xia Ran and could tolerate her foolishness, he couldn’t just watch her being bullied.

She still carried the title of the Yan Family’s son’s fiancée.

When others bullied her, it was equivalent to bullying the Yan Family, trampling the Yan Family’s face into the ground, and also trampling Yan Yi’s dignity.

After all, a man who couldn’t protect his own fiancée would surely be ridiculed when word spread.

If the person bullying her were Fu Yu, the Fu Family’s daughter, he might have looked the other way, but it was Fu Yanhe’s wife, brought from the countryside.

Just a poor country person daring to bully someone from their Yan Family.

Really tired of living.

Moreover, he had also met Fu Yanhe and his wife before.

Although they appeared loving on the surface, Yan Yi did not believe that Fu Yanhe would truly protect a woman from the countryside who couldn’t show her face in public.

Yan Yi set down his wine glass, his voice neither hurried nor slow, "The Fu Family’s people are becoming increasingly overbearing."

"Mushan, it’s up to you to teach that wife from the countryside a lesson," he said.

"You need to let her know who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked."

Xia Ran blinked, a mix of excitement and pleasure arising in her heart, yet her face showed a bit of hesitation, "Yan Yi, no..."

Lin Yinyin grabbed Xia Ran’s hand, "No what? Xia Ran, you are just too kind. Shen Yanhe embarrassed us so much today, and she even hit you."

She sneered, "We must teach that woman a lesson!"

"Well said, repaying with kindness is not the way," Hang Mushan put his sunflower seeds on the table, stood up, clapped his hands, and gave Xia Ran and Lin Yinyin a wink.

"You two beautiful sisters just wait for my good news."

His dashing and charming demeanor made Lin Yinyin blush slightly, she couldn’t help but spit at him, "Who is your sister? Stop calling it randomly."

After speaking, Lin Yinyin couldn’t help but lean close to Hang Mushan, whispering about what measures they should use to teach Shen Yanhe a lesson.

While the two were whispering, Xia Ran looked towards Yan Yi. Under his intense gaze, a sense of unease rose in her heart.

Yan Yi narrowed his eyes at her, suddenly lifted his hand and beckoned, "Come here."

Xia Ran’s hand hanging by her side clenched slightly as she stepped towards Yan Yi.

Before she could get close, Yan Yi forcefully grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him.

Xia Ran suppressed a cry, her body half-leaning against Yan Yi.

Yan Yi’s slightly coarse hand forcefully pinched her chin, forcing her to lift her head and look at him, his eyes emitting a chilling light, "Xia Ran, you must remember, you are Yan Yi’s woman now."

"No matter who you have in your heart, but until you are no longer titled as the Yan Family’s fiancée, behave yourself, and do not tarnish the Yan Family’s name, otherwise the consequences are something the Xia Family cannot bear."

"Understand?"

Xia Ran felt icy all over, enduring the pain from the swelling on her chin and face, tears welling up in her eyes, looking pitifully at Yan Yi, "I understand."

And in this corner, none of the four people noticed, that behind Yan Yi’s seat, sat a man dressed in black, wearing a black sun hat.

As the bar lights rotated and fell on this corner,

Zhao Chang slightly raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes red with blood vessels under the sun hat, his facial muscles twitching abnormally, his lips buzzing soundlessly.

"Found you."
