Kiss With Mr. CEO

Chapter 71 - Where Is My Justice?

Li Luxian eyes darkened. He understood his responsibility well. He had already promised Chen Yi he would not let anyone bully her. He would not let his wife be in a difficult situation.

"Even if she doesn't mind, I do. Why would I want to touch an ordinary woman when I have such a beautiful wife?"

Hearing his words, Chen Yi almost choked. This Li Luxian was getting really good at sweet-talking. Even at such an intense moment, he would say something so unexpected? Ah, if he continued to improve like this how was Chen Yi supposed to dodge his attacks every time?

On the other hand, when Wang Hualing heard Li Luxian persistence, she felt it was more and more likely that Li Luxian... was genuine about her.

Why else would he still stand for her side so firmly?

Wang Hualing felt like her whole world came crashing down on her. Li Luxian statements were akin to his declaring that he would prefer Chen Yi over her.

Until now Wang Hualing had constantly denied any possibility of a relationship between Chen Yi and Li Luxian. She had continuously assured herself that Li Luxian was just using Chen Yi to avoid marriage with her and he had no feelings for her.

But Li Luxian actions right now were like a series of harsh slaps across her face.

She could not deny the obvious in front of her eyes.

At this point, Wang Hualing could no longer keep her composure.

He just called her an 'ordinary' woman... while Chen Yi a beautiful woman...

How could Wang Hualing endure this while keeping her sanity intact?

"How could you say this Brother Li? How could you compare her to me? Between her and me, is there even any chance of comparison?" In an instant, she was on her feet on her own without any hindrance. She glowered at the pair who stood side by side.

Li Guang had been quite al the time. The matter between married couples and the younger generation, he knew he shouldn't interfere. He let them sort out their own feelings.

But right at the moment, when Wang Hualing stood without any difficulty he was surprised.

"Wang Hualing, your leg... is it alright now?" He asked. Didn't she say her leg was sprained? Li Guang had been concerned about her when it looked like she was hurt. He had even started blaming Chen Yi for hurting her.

Wang Hualing froze. "F-Father Li, the sprain was not that bad." She immediately realized her mistake. But it was too late. She had already blown her cover.

'If it was not that bad why had Wang Hualing had asked for Li Luxian to help her up? Was that all pretense to get Li Luxian to help her and demean Chen YI?' Li Guang thought in his mind and accessed the situation.

Li Guang was not stupid. He could tell who was wrong. Immediately his eyes changed their color. "If that was all, we have to leave." He said; his tone cold without an ounce of warmth.

Wang Hualing's heart shuddered. A moment ago she had been relishing over the fact that she had changed Li Guang's perspective of Chen Yi. But it appeared, with a simple mistake the situation had now reversed.

No, she would not let this happen!

This was not what she had come here for!

"Father Li! You have to give me justice!" She whined. Her nails digging into the skin of her palm. Her anger was prompting her to take risks to get back at that woman who stood beside her man. "Actually, I had lied before to save Yi Jie's face. I did not want to cause trouble for her. But after how brother Li has treated me, I can no longer keep quiet."

"What are you implying at?" Li Guang asked.

He could see where this was getting at. The more desperate Wang Hualing grew and harsher measures she took against Chen Yi, the more the disapproval towards Wang Hualing began to grow in Li Guang's heart.

If she could stay quiet, maybe Li Guang could ignore her actions of pretending to be hurt to get Li Luxian to help her. Li Luxian was after all married now. She should not find excuses to get close to him. Li Guang would not tolerate this.

"Earlier, you both saw this. It had been Chen Yi who had hit me and shoved me. I had come to apologize today but this was how she treated me. In the absence of Elder Li, Father Li is the eldest in the household. You must punish her to have her repent her actions. Despite her hitting her, I did not retaliate. You must provide me with justice!" Wang Hualing said with assertiveness.

She would not leave today without seeing that Chen Yi suffer.

Li Guang was caught in a difficult spot. If Chen Yi had indeed shoved Wang Hualing then that was wrong of her. No matter what, violence was not the answer.

Chen Yi laughed softly, finally breaking her silence: "I shoved you and you demand justice? Then what about yesterday when you hit me? Where is my justice?" Was this Wang Hualing really that stupid? With the position and the age she was, she should not fall to desperate measures to hurt Chen Yi. If Chen Yi was in her place, she would make sure to keep aloof and lofty. While hurting her rival behind her back.

It appeared to Chen Yi that Wang Hualing was just a spoiled, sheltered Young Mistress of a rich family. She was even stupider than her cousin, Chen Ying.

"That- I never managed to hurt you. But you physically hurt me today.. Besides, that day, you were at fault for suddenly marrying Bother Li without his parent's approval! I was only punishing you in their stead! What kind of woman you are to marry someone who already had a fiancee? My actions were only justified!" snarled Wang Hualing.
