CHAPTER 288: CHAPTER 301: EVEN A HERO CAN’T STAND AGAINST OVERWHELMING NUMBERS

An Ran was also depressed all day today. Seeing Chen Shanshan rushing toward her, she didn’t dodge and directly grappled with Chen Shanshan.

It was quite a spectacle for two beautiful girls to be fighting in public, and it didn’t take long for a crowd to gather, with some people even starting to record the scene with their phones.

Ji Jie was already terrified on the side. She had known Chen Shanshan for a long time, and though Shanshan often threw tantrums, it was her first time seeing her actually getting physical.

Although the Ji Family was not as prominent as the Chen Family, Ji Jie had been meticulously raised by her mother to be a lady of high society. How could she lower herself to brawling here alongside Chen Shanshan?

Seeing people taking pictures with their phones now made Ji Jie even more ashamed and furious. She quickly went to stop those passersby from filming.

An Ran grew up in the countryside, and because she didn’t have her parents around as a child, she was often bullied by other kids. Over time, she had developed a bit of a knack for fighting. Soon, she gained the upper hand, pressing Chen Shanshan firmly beneath her.

Unable to fight back, Chen Shanshan shouted to Ji Jie, "Why are you just standing there? Come and help me! Do you want to watch me get beaten to death?"

Ji Jie’s eyes showed a hint of struggle. If anything happened to Chen Shanshan today, her dad probably wouldn’t spare her, as the Ji Family’s company still relied on the Chen Family.

Seeing An Ran raise her hand again, Ji Jie also lunged forward.

As they say, two fists are no match for four hands, and a hero can’t survive against many wolves. An Ran truly felt this saying, especially since she was already slimmer and weaker compared to Chen Shanshan and Ji Jie.

With Ji Jie’s assistance, Chen Shanshan flipped An Ran back under her, tearing at her. Seeing An Ran restrained by two people with no ability to fight back, a bloodthirsty jealousy flashed in Chen Shanshan’s eyes as she reached for a fruit knife from her handbag.

Ji Jie panicked the moment she saw the knife. She used her body to shield Chen Shanshan’s hand holding the weapon and lowered her voice, saying, "Shanshan, what are you doing? Killing is against the law."

Chen Shanshan’s lips curled into a twisted smile. "I’m not going to kill her. I’m just going to scar her face. Let’s see how she seduces Brother Mu after that."

An Ran, pinned to the ground, saw their every move. She hadn’t eaten dinner and was exhausted from the long struggle with the two of them, leaving her unable to muster any strength. Seeing Chen Shanshan’s insane actions, An Ran shouted, "Chen Shanshan, you crazy woman! If you harm me, you won’t get away with it. Mu Xingfeng will avenge me; he won’t let you go."

"So what? Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me. Ruining your pretty face so Brother Mu feels sick just looking at you, that thought alone makes me happy."

With that, she raised the knife toward An Ran’s face.

The onlookers had only thought it was amusing to see the girls fight, not expecting it to get serious. When they saw the knife, they gasped in shock but couldn’t step forward in time to stop it.

Seeing the knife coming straight at her face, An Ran closed her eyes in fright, still thinking of Chen Shanshan’s words. If her face really got scarred, would Mu Xingfeng feel disgusted?

"Ah..."

The stabbing pain she expected didn’t come. Instead, she heard Chen Shanshan scream in agony, and the pressure on her body was suddenly gone. She opened her eyes to see Chen Shanshan lying pathetically on the ground, and beside her, a tall figure radiating a deadly aura.

An Ran "..."

So even the usually gentle and elegant Brother Shen could be this terrifying when angry. His presence could totally rival Mu Xingfeng’s.
