Chapter 27: Get Even for Her

ncing at his own hand then back at the woman who was huddled on the bed, covering her head. He was perceptive enough to realize that her actions just now were purely reflexive, an instinctive reaction...“Luna, General Shen is furious. You're out of the Eastern Emperor's Palace; there are still places for you to eat elsewhere. Otherwise, as soon as you leave the Eastern Emperor's Palace, someone will drag you to do shady things in a backwater place. Do you believe me” Su Meng said calmly.

"Money!......Luna trembled all over, fear making her immediately drop to the ground and pick up the money like she had mocked Jian Tong before."

On the side, Zhenzhen was drumming her heart in fear, looking nervously at Shen Xiujin across from her.

A stack of banknotes was tossed by Shen Xiuqin onto the crystal table: “Will you sing One thousand yuan per song. Sing fifty songs, and you can leave with the money. If you don’t sing enough, or if you faint or lose your voice in the middle... Recently, Southeast Asia just happens to be short of goods.”

This "goods" obviously doesn't refer to the traditional sense of goods.

Zhen Zhen's heart "boomed". Up to this point, if these two people still didn't know why she was suffering, then they really were wasting their time.

They knew the reason, yet they couldn't understand why that Jian Tong, that cleaner, ultimately needed the backing of the big boss to punish and make things difficult for them.

“Mr. Shen, I can sing,” Zhenzhen said: “But I just don’t understand, Jian Tong, she’s just a cleaner! She has no talent or looks, nothing at all. We were just kidding with her. Mr. Shen, if you want to punish us, we accept it, but Mr. Shen's punishment is too harsh, isn't it”

A joke

Shen Xiuqin glanced at Zhenzhen with a smirk, her face was alluring, but at this moment he had no interest in admiring it. Such a person, in his eyes, was as tasteless as chewing wax.

But, Zhenzhen's determined and reasoned arguments at this moment made Shen Xiujin feel familiar. It was as if the woman from three years ago stood before him, equally unyielding, equally arguing her point with reason, and equally refusing to give in.

In a mere instant of distraction, Shen Xiujin withdrew his gaze from Zhenzhen’s face……No, the woman before him, this flamboyant beauty, was worlds apart from Jian Tong three years ago. This woman named Zhenzhen lacked the backbone and aura that Jian Tong had possessed three years prior.

Little child……

When Shen Xiujin thought of that woman's current pathetic state, completely unlike the radiant sun she was in S City back then, he felt a surge of inexplicable irritation. As a result, the last shred of patience he had for the two women across from him also vanished.

"Su Meng, teach her some manners." His icy lips moved.

"Yes."

Su Meng, in her high heels, stood before ZhenZhen, a graceful yet icy smile playing on her lips: "ZhenZhen, the rules of the Dong Huang sect are always strict. Competitions between disciples are common, and those above just turn a blind eye."

"Having said that, he suddenly changed his tone and said fiercely: “This time, you went too far.”

With nothing else, Su Meng merely wore an elegant and icy smile, gazing lightly at Zhen Zhen in front of her: "You're a smart person, from now on, you know what to do."

Although Zhenzhen was still unwilling, she gritted her teeth and glanced at Su Meng before taking a deep breath. "Mengjie, I'll sing!"

One by one, just like she used to torment Jian Tong back then, each song was sung in a high pitch. It wasn't until now that Zhen Zhen understood the pain Jian Tong felt when she sang back then.

She had lost count of how many songs she'd sung and could no longer hold back. "Dream Sister, can I have a glass of water"

"What do you think" Su Meng smiled without speaking.

Zhenzhen's whole body was cold. Fifty songs, it seemed easy to complete, but Shen Xiuqin witnessed Zhenzhen singing one after another with her own eyes, witnessing the singer's hoarse voice and pathetic appearance... That woman was like that too, wasn't she

Zen's throat was hoarse, her singing off-key. She gasped for breath and desperately swallowed, even a bystander could tell she was parched and uncomfortable. Shen Xiujin stared at her with an icy expression, "If you can't finish singing, you'll go to Southeast Asia 'for fun' for a few days."

Zhen Zhen's body trembled suddenly, her eyes widened, and she looked at the man on the sofa with fear. She opened her mouth, eager and stammering: "Mr. Shen, I'll sing right away."

Time passed bit by bit. Luna only felt grateful at this moment, fortunate that she hadn't had time to make a move against Jian Tong, otherwise... She didn't dare imagine what the consequences would be!

The longer one stays at Dong Huang, the more they understand what "Dong Huang" represents in S City!

Fifty songs have been sung.

"Mr. Shen, the person has fainted."

Su Meng said.

Shen Xiuqin stood up, his long legs stepping out, without looking back, he coldly dropped three words: "Throw it out."

……

What is the Dong Huang

Here, there are the rules of survival here.

Those who can thrive and mix well here naturally possess extraordinary abilities.

In the Eastern Emperor's palace, an invisible wind swept through, causing everyone to tighten their skin and become alert. Regarding Luna and Zhenzhen, almost no one dared speak of them, as if these two people had never been in the Eastern Emperor's palace, as if the Eastern Emperor had never known them, and they had never met.

"Hey Xiaoxiao, it's been a few days since I've seen Luna and Zhenzhen." Qin Mumumu suddenly said during the break in the makeshift break room for employees.

In the lounge, a dozen or so people had suddenly fallen silent. They had been discussing some famous brand and wealthy celebrity just moments ago, but now, the entire room was hushed.

"What's wrong Why isn't anyone talking" Qin Mumumu looked around in confusion.

And those who saw her immediately turned their heads, each pretending to be busy with their own affairs, no one paying any attention to her.

"Xiaoxiao What happened" Qin Mumumu was at a loss, the atmosphere so strange.

The latter hesitated a little, after all, Qin Mumu was part of the same batch as her. She hesitated greatly, "Mumu, actually, Zhen..."

"Xiaoxiao, it's time to go, we're changing scenes." Suddenly, someone interrupted Xiaoxiao. The person stood up and called out Xiaoxiao's name. Everyone else in the room rustled and stood up, "Come on, Xiaoxiao, it's time to work."

Qin Mumumu's face immediately turned bad, and she stood up abruptly: "Annie, what do you mean You don't want Xiaoxiao to talk to me Who are you to Xiaoxiao"

The one who interrupted Xiaoxiao was named Annie. She was beautiful, even more so than the Public Relations department girls. However, she had been working as a waitress at Donghuang for two years. Upon hearing this, she stopped in her tracks and turned around:

"Foolish girl, you should mind your own business." Anne's eyes were full of sarcasm. This Qin Mumumu thought she was pure as a lotus flower, with "untouchable" written all over her face. If she was so innocent, why not work at a small restaurant or do some weekend etiquette jobs What's she doing here at Donghuang"

"Who are you scolding" Qin Mumu said angrily.

Anne raised an eyebrow: "Whoever speaks, I scold."

Xiaoxiao pulled Annie aside and motioned for her to stop.

Qin Mumumu misinterpreted the meaning and glared at Xiaoxiao angrily, her eyes filled with the anguish of betrayal: "Xiaoxiao! I didn't expect you to be like this!"

"Mumu..."

"Xiaoxiao, ignore her." Annie interrupted Xiaoxiao, raising an eyebrow at Qin Mumumu: "Qin Mumumu, mind your own business."

This Qin Mumumu... she's going to be the next one who suffers. She's so foolish as to think she's in control. Earlier in the bathroom, she was telling others that she was cheated by Jian Tong and how despicable he is.

If someone is determined to die, even the King of Hell can't stop them.illed.Jian Tong's forehead beaded with a thin layer of sweat: "Stop! Mr. Shen!""This is a caress.""What" She had clearly said to stop, and he, was giving her a non sequitur.Without giving her time to...
