Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Encounter with a Pervert at the Party, Smashing His Head with a Wine Bottle

Shen Mingzhu looked at Sun Feifei with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Do you know what the secret to longevity is?"

Sun Feifei asked subconsciously, "What is it?"

"Mind your own business."

Sun Feifei was startled, and then she realized that Shen Mingzhu was scolding her. Before she could retort, a man came over and called Shen Mingzhu away.

Sun Feifei stared at the man’s retreating back, feeling that he seemed familiar, so she subconsciously followed behind the two.

She was also here to attend the investment promotion cocktail party, and the German enterprise she worked for was one of the sponsors of the event.

It was not until she entered the venue of the cocktail party that Sun Feifei finally remembered that this man was Xiangying’s husband.

Feng Shaokang briefly explained the situation of the cocktail party to Shen Mingzhu, pointed out a few food industry bosses for her to see, and then went off to network, leaving Shen Mingzhu to act on her own judgement.

Shen Mingzhu did not rashly approach her target individuals; instead, she started tasting the food and pastries on the banquet table.

As a food blogger, the allure of fine food far outweighed everything else for her.

The world is vast, but the stomach is the biggest.

One needs to eat well to have the energy for scheming.

There were even salt-baked king prawns—bright red and plump, tempting and mouth-watering at the sight. It was a pity that her son wasn’t here to peel them for her.

Just as Shen Mingzhu was debating whether to grab a few prawns to eat, a human obstacle suddenly appeared in front of her.

"A good dog doesn’t stand in the way."

Sun Feifei sneered as she glanced at the prawns on the banquet table, "Just take them if you want to eat, after all, for you, this might be the only chance in your life to eat such prawns."

"These are wild white prawns from the waters off Ecuador, flash-frozen after being caught and shipped back to the country. A pound costs dozens of dollars, and if you hadn’t come here, you probably wouldn’t even have the chance to see them in your lifetime, let alone eat them."

Shen Mingzhu smiled while her words were sharp, "Please stay far away from me, because your face is really ruining my appetite."

Sun Feifei’s expression turned cold, and then, as if suddenly thinking of something, she glanced towards Feng Shaokang before continuing to taunt, "You’ve got some nerve, hooking up with Yan Yi during the study group sessions and now seducing your best friend’s husband..."

"Snap." Shen Mingzhu cracked her knuckles emotionlessly, "Sun Feifei, do I really need to tear that mouth of yours apart for you to shut it?"

Sun Feifei was frightened by Shen Mingzhu’s gaze. Just then, a colleague called her over, and she hurriedly turned and left.

Watching Sun Feifei flee in a panic, Shen Mingzhu sneered lightly and lost her appetite to eat. She picked up a glass of juice and strolled around the venue, looking for an opportunity to meet one or two tycoons.

——

"Feifei, that Mr. Chen is an old lecher. Be careful when you’re toasting later; don’t let him take advantage of you."

Hearing her female colleague’s reminder, Sun Feifei nodded thankfully, but then she seemed to remember something and started looking for Shen Mingzhu in the venue.

After toasting, Sun Feifei discreetly pointed out Shen Mingzhu to Chen Jianqiang and whispered a few words with an ingratiating smile.

After hearing her out, Chen Jianqiang’s face showed delight, and he looked at Shen Mingzhu with eyes green with greed, like a dog seeing a bone.

Seeing Chen Jianqiang eagerly walking towards Shen Mingzhu, the female colleague couldn’t help but be curious, "Feifei, what did you say to Mr. Chen?"

Excitement shone on Sun Feifei’s face as if watching a drama unfold, "This woman loves to seduce other people’s men; Mr. Chen is just her type, she’ll surely like it."

Hearing this, the female colleague’s gaze towards Shen Mingzhu instantly filled with contempt and disgust.

——

"Beautiful, what’s your surname?"

Facing Chen Jianqiang’s advances, Shen Mingzhu took a step back without a change in her expression, "Sorry, I have an appointment, excuse me."

After speaking, Shen Mingzhu turned to leave, but she did not expect Chen Jianqiang to reach out and grab her.

His hand on her arm felt like a dirty rag against her skin, causing Shen Mingzhu to feel a surge of disgust.

She shook off his hand, her expression cooling, "What do you think you’re doing?"

"Don’t be mad, beautiful. I just wanted to get to know you," Chen Jianqiang said, not at all deterred by her attitude but rather getting more brazen as he moved even closer, his lecherous gaze roaming her body as though it were a sticky, revolting fluid.

"I heard you really like making friends. I do too; how about we find a place to chat slowly?"

While speaking, the pervert reached to put his arm around her waist.

Fuck your mother!

Shen Mingzhu directly splashed her juice at him.

Chen Jianqiang raised his hand to wipe the water off his face, his expression turning ominously dark, "Bitch, don’t appreciate favors!"

He then attempted to forcefully pull Shen Mingzhu towards him.

Shen Mingzhu instinctively stepped back, but someone pushed her from behind, causing her to stumble uncontrollably towards Chen Jianqiang.

Taking advantage of the situation, Chen Jianqiang slapped her across the face before she could dodge, landing a solid hit.

"Bitch, wait until we get outside, and then I’ll settle this with you."

As he spoke, he dragged Shen Mingzhu towards the exit.

Many surrounding spectators watched the drama unfold, yet no one reached out to help.

Shen Mingzhu knew she was in for trouble once they got outside and, desperate, grabbed a wine bottle from the banquet table and smashed it over his head.

With a "smash" sound,

the wine bottle exploded over Chen Jianqiang’s head, shards of glass scattering everywhere, eliciting gasps of alarm from the onlookers.

Chen Jianqiang, holding his injured head, stared at Shen Mingzhu with a mix of shock and fury, "You fucking asking for death?!"

Unintimidated, Shen Mingzhu brandished the jagged neck of the wine bottle, "Touch me again, and I swear I’ll go all-out against you today!"

Chen Jianqiang was intimidated by Shen Mingzhu’s viciousness and, for the moment, didn’t dare to lay a hand on her.

Sun Feifei, who had been enjoying the show from the sidelines, could barely contain her glee and quietly ran outside to call the police.

You’ve injured someone, Shen Mingzhu, let’s see how you get out of this one.

----

Having lived two lifetimes, Shen Mingzhu was brought to the police station for the first time due to a fight.

As she pondered whether to call the Shen Family brothers or Pei Wenping—who would be less embarrassing—she unexpectedly encountered an acquaintance in the police station.

When he saw Shen Mingzhu, Ning Yuan was equally surprised.

Then a figure suddenly rushed past Shen Mingzhu, sprinting over to Ning Yuan with a fawning bow, their attitude extremely submissive.

"Young Master Ning, what a coincidence, to think we’d bump into each other here."

"Quite the coincidence, isn’t it?"

Ning Yuan looked at Shen Mingzhu with an amused smile.

Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes and walked over to sit down in a chair.

Seeing her dismissive manner and unwillingness to greet him, Ning Yuan withdrew his gaze and started small talk with Chen Jianqiang, "Yo, President Chen, someone cracked open your head? Who’s so bold as to strike a tiger on the head?"

Chen Jianqiang actually thought Ning Yuan was expressing concern for him and immediately pointed fiercely at Shen Mingzhu.

"Fucking bitch," he said, "It’s this stinking whore. I just saw she was a bit pretty and wanted to have some fun with her, and she was so ungrateful to smash my head with a wine bottle."

"Bitch, you just wait and see how I’m going to screw you over!"

Suddenly, Ning Yuan started clapping his hands loudly, drawing odd glances from everyone in the police station.

Chen Jianqiang was baffled by Ning Yuan’s behavior, "Young Master Ning, what do you mean?"

Ning Yuan gave him a thumbs up, clearly impressed, "President Chen, you were quite fierce just now, please, continue."

Even though Ning Yuan was smiling at him, Chen Jianqiang felt an uneasy chill.

Anyone who had risen to this position had to have some tricks up their sleeve.

Chen Jianqiang’s gaze shuttled between Ning Yuan and Shen Mingzhu, and his heart sank; he carefully probed, "Young Master Ning, you don’t happen to know Miss Shen, do you?"

Ning Yuan flashed a toothy grin, "You guess."
