I'm Secretly Married To a Big Shot [JENLISA] (1)

161-162

She charged towards Jennie with her arm raised. Before the slap landed, someone had already grabbed her arm in mid-air.

One of the bodyguards had stepped in front of Jennie and was swinging her arm away.

Lin Huizhen staggered a few meters from the force of the swing, and with a shriek, landed on the floor awkwardly.

She fell in a terrible position.

"Oh, ow! My back, it's broken." She moaned in agony on the floor.

"Mom!" Krystal widened her eyes and hurriedly went to help her up.

Lin Huizhen had one hand on her back while her face scrunched up in pain. "Master, you've got to help me with this. I can't possibly stay in this house, being bullied by her! How could I?"

A few of the housemaids who had tried to stop the bodyguards were also on the floor.

With no proper training whatsoever, how could they be a match for these professional bodyguards?

One bodyguard could take down a group of them.

The rest dared not step forward after witnessing their prowess.

"Jennie, you're a horrible bully!" Krystal helped Lin Huizhen to her feet. "My mother is your stepmother, and she's your elder no matter what! How could you treat her like this! Do you think you can do whatever pleases you just because you've got a backing now!"

"You're ridiculous and immoral!" Kim Ruhai trembled from the anger and raised his arm to give Jennie a slap too.

This time, Jennie did not stay there to be hit by him. She simply turned away expressionlessly.

Kim Ruhai's hand landed on air. Seeing how Jennie just evaded it, Kim Ruhai was even more enraged. "Sinner! How dare you! You could even do this to your mother, I've got to teach this sinner a lesson!"

He then raised his arm again. Kim Ruhai was a very proud man. Seeing the trouble his daughter had caused, all he wanted to do was to re-establish his authority as the head of the household.

"Old Master Kim, if you do not wish for the Kim Firm to end up like Sheng Hui Corporation, I suggest you do not act on impulse. You may not be able to bear the consequence of this slap."

Father Kim heard a firm, authoritative voice coming from behind him. The man's voice was not loud, but the room went silent the moment he spoke.

Krystal, standing beside him, became shocked. She widened her eyes and turned around. She saw a tall and imposing man with a dominating presence walking up the stairs. A flicker of surprise flashed past her eyes.

It's him!

The mysterious man!

Although Krystal had been criticized by him the last time, she found that she simply couldn't forget him after the incident. She even dreamt of him. She'd always thought that Kai was her one true love.

But after meeting this man, she realized that he was actually the one for her. She'd liked him the moment she saw him.

The nervousness, excitement, and anticipation she felt when facing him were emotions she hadn't felt with Kai.

It was only after seeing him that she learned what it felt like to really like someone. She finally realized that what she felt towards Kai wasn't true or genuine.

She simply felt that Kai was a good catch and was suitable as a husband.

Krystal did not conceal her excitement.

She quickly let go of Lin Huizhen's hand and went forward. "Mister, we meet again. Do you remember me? We met once at the school's car park. I am..."

Before she was done talking, the man walked towards Jennie and placed a hand on her cheek gently. He then asked coldly, "You've been hit? Who did it?"

Jennie looked at him in shock."Y-You're here?"

She winced when Lisa touched her face.

He quickly took his hand away as his eyes got deeper. The coldness he exuded was terrifying.

His gaze swept past Kim Ruhai, Lin Huizhen, and Krystal as he asked, "Which of you hit her?"

Everyone who made eye contact with him felt a chill down their spine. Even someone as eccentric as Lin Huizhen stopped yelling and screaming.

After spending decades as a businessman, Kim Ruhai had learned to read someone by their eyes.

A glance was all it took for him to know that this handsome man had a rather complex background.

It wasn't just every rich man who could hold that sort of presence. Only somebody who grew up with class and status would hone such an aura.

"Mister, who are you? What has my daughter Jennie got to do with you?" Father Kim was a lot more polite when he talked to Lisa. He dared not offend this man before finding out his actual identity. Especially after this young man had threatened him.

From his words, it seemed like he was behind Sheng Hui Corporation's bankruptcy?

Holding that thought, Father Kim's expression darkened.

Lisa glanced at him coldly. "You haven't answered my question. Did you hit her?"

Kim Ruhai furrowed his brows. He couldn't help but think this young lad was being way too rude to his elders. He seemed intimate with Jennie and was acting like her lover.

How could he be so disrespectful to her father?

This was too much!

If this man really was his daughter's lover, the least he could do was to address him as Uncle.

What was with this attitude!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He raised his voice, "So what if I did! She's my daughter, can't I teach my own daughter a lesson? Who are you to interrogate me like this? This is our family matter, it's none of your business!"

Lisa looked rather expressionless at first. But upon hearing Kim Ruhai admit to hitting Jennie, his expression got colder and stiffer by the second.
