In the realm of martial arts, one could hardly traverse without acquiring some proficiency in kung fu.

Don’t be fooled by her delicate and beautiful appearance, she was forced by her mother to learn self-defense training from an early age.

Handling two or three women was like a piece of cake for her, with a mere flick, she could effortlessly subdue one, never even grazing her skirt.

The woman lying on the ground screamed in agony, her face contorted in pain. While the remaining two, their expressions fraught with fear, gazed wide-eyed at Jiang Mian.

He Lin had belittled Jiang Mian to them, portraying her as a fool whom they could teach a lesson casually!

Their family background was far inferior to He Lai’s. They wanted to curry favor with He Lai and wanted to vent their anger for her, but little did they know that they had been exploited by He Lai.

They thought that handling Jiang Mian by themselves would be enough so they sought a secluded spot where no one could intervene and cause trouble to her.

Who knew the trouble wasn’t found, but instead, they got into big trouble.

He Lai had never mentioned Jiang Mian’s martial arts to them before, and these three people were all people in the industry who wanted to curry favor with He Lai.

He Lai roasts that Jiang Mian had the face of a fox spirit and bullied Shen Shiyan with all sorts of things.

What about the agreed weakness?

Jiang Mian looked at the other two people and thought to herself that she still had to play her part.

Pretending to be scared by the people on the ground, she nervously took a few steps back with her skirt in hand and said innocently, “I didn’t mean to, I just gently pushed her down, and she fell to the ground like this. It’s not my fault…”

The two women standing there were dumbfounded, they had witnessed Jiang Mian tossing their good sister to the ground, yet she shamelessly denied what she had done without changing her expression. This woman must possess unparalleled audacity, does she think they were both blind!

No wonder He Lai was also bullied by this woman, if she couldn’t handle her then what chance did, they stand to teach her a lesson!

The three of them had already expressed regret. They helped up their good sister on the ground. Although they were afraid that Jiang Mian would attack them, they still said, “You’ll pay for this!”

Jiang Mian let out an emotionless exclamation and blinked as she watched them run away in embarrassment in front of her.

Their footsteps were frantic and feeble, as if being chased by some evil spirit and they vanished in the blink of an eye!

Once their figures left, Jiang Mian couldn’t contain her expression and lifted her lips into a proud smile.

Thinking of bullying her? Not a chance!

If they dare to trouble her again next time, they’ll have their bones broken!

However she has to admit, He Lai’s tactics were cunning. Without her direct involvement, she managed to humiliate the previous owner so thoroughly.

Unfortunately for He Lai, her opponent was now Jiang Mian.

On the surface, she truly disdains these three women He Lai brought along. What kind of incompetence was this? Their fighting prowess was abysmal, a mere touch sent them tumbling. It hardly seems worth the effort!

With the problem solved, it’s now time to make Shen Shiyan hate her!

By now, He Lai must have arrived on the scene, and was crying in front of Shen Shiyan about how she had bullied her!

Jiang Mian turned towards the bathroom, and casually pulled off her hair in front of the mirror, making it look like a bird’s nest and also smudging her makeup, looking as if she had been bullied severely.

But this wasn’t convincing enough, to achieve better results she forced out a few tears to well up in her eyes. Now she truly appeared pitiable, looking at her reflection, even she couldn’t help but feel sorry for herself!

Stepping outside, just as she was about to stage her spectacle in the hall, a voice called her out.

“Jiang Mian!”

Turning around, Jiang Mian saw a familiar figure. She looked at him with suspicion as she asked, “Who are you?”

Though he seemed familiar, she couldn’t quite remember him at the moment, so Jiang Mian decided not to dwell on it!

There weren’t many people around, could he possibly be trying to strike up a conversation with her?

But her current disheveled appearance would hardly endear her to anyone, right?

The man carefully scrutinized Jiang Mian’s somewhat unkept countenance as he stood in front of her, blocking her way, and asked her. “Don’t you recognize me?”

Nonsense, what kind of RMB were you for her to recognize him!

Internally, Jiang Mian scoffed. “I’m sorry sir. I’m in a hurry, please excuse me…”

With her tears still fresh, she needed to move quickly. There were important matters she needed to do now. Don’t stop her from work!

Jiang Mian lowered her head and wanted to walk past the man when suddenly, she was grabbed by her wrist. Jiang Mian looked up and said, “Sir, please let go of me, otherwise I will…”

“What will you do? Otherwise you will…”

The man tightened his grip, his dark eyes penetrating hers as a faint smile playing on his lips. “Otherwise, are you planning to knock me down like you did with that woman just now?

Jiang Mian was secretly surprised, could it be that he saw it just now?

But she specifically chose a secluded spot!

No matter how surprised he was inwardly, Jiang Mian maintained a composed façade and denied it. “Sir, what are you saying?”

Ji Zishen hadn’t anticipated after he brought it up, this woman would have the audacity to feign ignorance, acting as if he hadn’t seen anything.

“What if I have a photo?” Ji Zishen brandished his phone with one hand. “Do you think Shen Shiyan would believe you after seeing these photos?”

His gaze lingered on Jiang Mian’s disheveled visage, a hint of amusement twinkling in his eyes.

If he hadn’t witnessed her graceful yet forceful takedown earlier, he wouldn’t have believed such a delicate woman possessed such strength. He had truly underestimated her before!

What a guy, it was the first time someone had dared to threaten her with a photo so blatantly.

Though Jiang Mian’s expression remained impassive, internally she was ecstatic.

She couldn’t wait for Shen Shiyan to see the photo of her subduing someone. It would only deepen Shen Shiyan’s disdain for her.

That way, it would hasten their breakup without her needing to collapse her persona!

It was like she was nodding off then someone came and handed her a pillow.

Jiang Mian’s performance was convincing, her eyes darted as she muttered under her breath. “Even if you show the photos, it won’t matter. Mr. Shen will believe me!”

Please, Grandpa, just show the photos to Shen Shiyan so he can expose her as a liar!

It’s excruciating to maintain this charade any longer!

Upon hearing her words, Ji Zishen was somewhat taken aback. “You trust him that much?”

Jiang Mian nodded without hesitation, of course, Shen Shiyan wouldn’t trust her. Once she was exposed, he would undoubtedly dump her!

Seeing her resolute nod, Ji Zishen chuckled softly. “I underestimated you after all!”

He knew Shen Shiyan’s temperament better than anyone.

Over the years, he had learned that Shen Shiyan harbored aversion towards women, especially those who bore a resemblance to Tang Mian.

Seeing Jiang Mian, he had wanted to repulse Shen Shiyan, to reopen old wounds and remind him of what happened back then.

However, Jiang Mian seemed different from what he had expected, veering slightly from his expectations. He couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret for delivering her to Shen Shiyan.

“Do you truly not remember me?”

Jiang Mian genuinely does not have much of an impression, she had encountered countless people but she couldn’t remember him at all.

Shaking her head decisively, she replied, “Have we met?”

A wry smile graced Ji Zishen’s lips. “It seems I’m not memorable enough to linger in your memory!”

Jiang Mian’s lips twitched faintly. “Sir, if you don’t release me, I’ll have to call for help!”

Her skills were more than sufficient enough to handle a few girls, but this man before her posed a different challenge!

Her coach had once said that in the face of the overwhelming strength, her skills were merely a three-legged stance, and it would be wise to run away!

On the other side, Shen Shiyan glanced around the resting area, noticing she was nowhere to be seen causing a slight furrow to crease his brows.

He felt discontented inside, didn’t he instruct her to sit there obediently and not allowed to go anywhere!

Shen Shiyan responded absentmindedly to the conversations around him, his dark gaze sweeping across the hall as he searched for that particular figure.

“Pardon me for a moment!” Shen Shiyan suddenly interjected. “I have urgent matters to attend to!”

The other party, initially assertive, immediately nodded and bid farewell respectfully. “Of course, Mr. Shen. Attend to your business first!”

As Shen Shiyan moved to look for Jiang Mian, He Lai hurriedly approached as she spotted Shen Shiyan. With her face lit up, she hastened her steps.

“Mr. Shen!” Shen Shiyan turned her head sideways, “Why are you here?”

How could she miss seeing that bitch Jiang Mian’s good show!

Upon hearing this, He Lai appeared aggrieved as she complained to Shen Shiyan. “It’s Miss Jiang, I mentioned your participation in today’s charity auction and insisted on taking my place. When I refused, she took my phone and locked me in the bathroom!”

Shen Shiyan regarded her with skepticism as if judging whether she was lying. And with a calm voice, he asked. “And how did you manage to get out?”

He Lai already prepared her excuse for this. She feigned tears as she explained. “Luckily, a hotel cleaner discovered me while cleaning and let me out!”

“Is that so?” Shen Shiyan glanced at her. He Lai was no longer wearing his professional attire but instead changed into a light white dress which was perfect for attending these occasions.

He Lai, tears still lingering made Shen Shiyan annoyed. “That’s a coincidence, I was also looking for her!”

This woman was far too disobedient. Despite being instructed to remain obedient; she runs around causing trouble. It seemed he would need to discipline her later.

Speaking of this, He Lai felt secretly proud in her heart, thinking that her friends should have succeeded by now.

She was looking forward to seeing the disheveled Jiang Mian even more!

There was no one in the hall, so He Lai took a few steps outside and suggested, “Perhaps Miss Jiang is outside…”

Before she could finish speaking, the man had already stepped out and strode towards outside.

Outside, Jiang Mian couldn’t let go of Ji Zishen and was very curious about who the man in front of her was.

He knows her, and it appears that he has a close relationship with Shen Shiyan?

Jiang Mian struggled to break free and looked at him angrily, “If you don’t let go, I’ll shout!”

She’s not joking!

“What I asked you to do…”

Before the words “save…” could be said, Ji Zishen quickly covered her mouth with a quick motion of his hands.

This Jiang Mian really surprised him!

Jiang Mian sensed his feat and immediately threatened vaguely. “Hurry up release me now or…”

“Jiang Mian!”
