Chapter 48 - Drama At Club (1)
"Days like this, I want to drive away
Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade
You chewed me up and spit me out
Like I was poison in your mouth
You took my light, you drained me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me"
The loud music was playing through the speakers, as Aria was watching the man she loved the most, looking at her with eyes full of disdain and disgust.
What an irony! Even the music playing was according to her predicament.
[ who was playing such sad songs at the club?]
Aria Qin, a young woman in her early twenties returned to her homeland after spending years in Country B with her family only to find out the man she thought loved her was cheating on her.
She just returned a few hours earlier and when she called to ask about his whereabouts, a feminine voice picked the phone and informed her that he was partying in a club. Little did Aria Qin knew, it was a plan set up to defame her.
All of a sudden, a palm was swung at her face without warning, immediately leaving a handprint on her fair face. She came to her senses.
"Still pretending to be innocent, eh? B*tch, how dare you cheat against my brother Han? I must beat you up and teach you a lesson today!"
The hot and stinging pain in the face confirmed it was no dream but reality. A Bitter reality!
The man not only cheated on her but also framed her of infidelity.
Aria tried to hold back her tears but could feel them slowly trickling down her face. Who would have thought, the man for whom she left everything at country B would be accusing her of cheating.
The Woman who slapped her was Liu Xuexue. She always hated her and tried to break Chen Zihan and her apart but their love was too strong. Or at least she thought.
"This hussy cheated on my brother? How dare she?!," Chen Jiaye raised her hand to slap Aria but as her palm was about to hit Aria's face, a slender hand caught it.
" You have the guts to touch a fragile woman eh? All of you are bullying a single girl. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" a domineering voice of a woman startled them.
Ming Yu who was behind Zhenyi was fuming in anger watching Aria's shaky condition.
The surrounding people began talking and condemning the woman who dared to interrupt Young master Han's group.
"Fragile? Hmmp! She is a slut. Not only she cheated on my brother Han, she even dared to engage with brother Han's friend," snickered Liu Xuexue.
The heartbroken and miserable Aria was astonished by the sudden entry of Zhenyi. She was his brother's best friend, even though she was cold and aloof but was possessive of her people.
And Aria was doted upon by her.
Aria tightened her hands into a fist as she held back her emotions - careful not to let out a sound.
Even though he hated her she still cared for the man she loved the most. And being aware of Zhenyi's short-tempered nature, she knew there were chances that the night might end in bloodshed.
"Who slapped you before her?" Zhenyi came forward and asked Aria before pointing a finger at Chen Jiaye.
Ming Yu who was furious earlier was excited to watch her goddess in action.
He never met her face to face before but their families were very close to each other, so he talked to her many times over the phone.
Also, they were involved in the same business.
"Si-" Aria was about to say something before Liu Xuexue cut her off and mocked" Oh! So you are here to support this cheating bitch? Jiayi, do you know only a bitch support another cheating?"
"Yeah, you are right Xue. Why don't we teach this bitch a lesson too?"
Alexander who came to inform Zhenyi about an important issue, had troubled expressions when he heard the bitch again.
He saw the number of people watching the drama unfolding before them and shook his head in despair.
'Sigh! If boss cut her tongue, I will have to handle many people.'
Zheyi broke the beer bottle which was lying on the table next to her and pointed at Liu Xuexue's neck.
"Aria slap her," Zhenyi ordered Aria. "Now!".
Aria, who was still standing beside Chen Zihang, was immediately stunned and a look of puzzlement appeared in her soft eyes after hearing those words.
" Sister Zhenyi, you know-"
"Tell me Aria did the Qin family failed to give basic education to their daughter? And if you don't act as you are said, then I'll have to take the matter in my hand. And both of us know, it won't end well."
"Are you crazy? Don't you know who I am?," screamed Liu Xuexue. She was petrified and on the verge of crying.
"I'm not crazy." She paused and continued with a solemn expression, "You are."
Chen Zihan who was frozen came back to his senses after hearing Zhenyi's voice.
"Please Miss leave Xiao Xue. It's my fault please brother Han tell this Miss to punish me not Xiao Xue, the root of the crisis, Xu Miaomiao said sniffling.
'What a hypocrite woman! Aria thought to herself.'
" No Miaomiao, don't cry. Dear, it's not your fault. Don't cry, she can't hurt my cousin, Chen family won't let her off easily," Chen Zihang said consoling Xu Miaomiao.
Aria who was on the verge of exploding couldn't control anymore and slapped Liu Xuexue with all her might.
SMACK!!!!
Chen Zihang who was comforting Xu Miaomiao was astonished by the sound of the slap.
