Rong Dai had not expected that during this meal, she would encounter these three ruffians who wanted to force her into a private room with them.
How could she possibly go with them? And she couldn't understand their communication with each other. Trapped here without her phone, she could only argue with them.
"Beauty, don't be so cold. We're foreign friends too. Is this how you treat friends here?"
The burly black man spoke haltingly, but Rong Dai could understand him. His stern, icy expression was intimidating.
"Confucius said, 'To have friends come from afar, is it not a joy?' But this is inappropriate! I don't know you, why should I eat with you?"
Rong Dai's face was cold, filled with disgust.
She had never seen such shameless people before!
No manners or upbringing at all!
"Friends? She's my wife!"
Huo Shao Ting recognized one of them as the man in the photo. As he walked over, he unbuttoned his suit and tapped the black man on the shoulder.
The moment the black man turned his head, he received a solid punch and was instantly knocked to the ground, his teeth flying out!
Huo Mei Shu stared wide-eyed in shock, and quickly pulled Rong Dai to the side. Rong Dai was also dumbfounded, not expecting Huo Shao Ting to punch someone!
"This is...righteous fury for the sake of a beauty! My brother always said, 'If you can solve it verbally, never use your fists, because no one can make him raise his hand.' This guy...is lucky."
Rong Dai was extremely anxious. It was dinnertime, with many people around, and some were already watching and taking photos.
And Huo Shao Ting was an important figure. How could he openly brawl like this?
"You still have the mood to joke? This is..."
"Don't worry, I have to give my brother a chance to perform, otherwise how will your relationship progress? Besides, people like this deserve to be taught a lesson! This is Huaxia territory. They should know better than to cause trouble on our doorstep!"
Huo Mei Shu pulled her along, giving her a very calm look to indicate she should remain steady.
Rong Dai was exasperated, that just going out to shop and eat could bring such trouble.
Huo Shao Ting struck quickly and ruthlessly. He worked out regularly and was taught fighting by world boxing champions. Though the three men were muscular, they were no match for his fists, and were quickly beaten down.
After dealing with them, Huo Shao Ting felt extremely refreshed. He tidied his suit and calmly looked down at the three men. He took a black business card with gold lettering from his pocket and tossed it on the ground, speaking coldly, "I'm Huo Shao Ting. You've harassed my wife repeatedly today. If you're not convinced, you're welcome to visit my lawyer team at the Huo Corporation."
Dazed from the beating, the three men still recognized Huo Shao Ting's name. Seeing the black business card made them go cold.
Offending Huo Shao Ting meant their family businesses might never expand into Huaxia.
"My brother is so cool and handsome!"
Huo Mei Shu gave him a thumbs up, cheering like a fangirl. This was the first time she had seen her brother be so cool!
Huo Shao Ting glanced at her. "Go settle the bill and take the things home."
"Oh..." Huo Mei Shu stuck out her tongue and hurried back into the store.
"Are you okay? Does your hand hurt?"
Rong Dai was not concerned about his coolness, but whether he was injured. With Huo Mei Shu gone, she quickly grabbed his hand to check. Seeing only slight redness and no wounds, she finally relaxed.
"You're so rash. There were three of them!" Rong Dai felt pained but also warmed, still a bit anxious and worried.
The three men had frightened her with their physique, yet he dared to confront them alone.
"Ten men would be no problem." Seeing her anxious yet caring expression, Huo Shao Ting instantly felt wonderful, as if he could take on twenty more!
"Hey, spare a thought for how I feel!" Huo Mei Shu looked at them resentfully, she had just gone to settle the bill, and now felt like a lemon beside the lemon tree again.
"Brother, if you don't ask Assistant Zhang to handle this quickly, sister-in-law might be trending online for fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety days straight. And possibly branded a vixen for making a prominent CEO beat people in public. This is big news."
Hearing Huo Mei Shu's words, Rong Dai also became worried, looking at the three men resentfully.
She walked forward and admonished them angrily, "Huaxia is a civilized, friendly nation. We welcome cultured gentlemen, not ruffians like you. I hope you learn from this lesson after harassing me repeatedly today!"
Seeing her stand up for him, Huo Shao Ting gazed at her tenderly, while Huo Mei Shu rolled her eyes at their ignoring her words.
The mall security guards soon arrived due to the commotion. Recognizing Huo Shao Ting and Rong Dai, who had trended online before, they had taken videos which were already circulating.
After viewing the videos, the guards felt that while punching people was wrong, they would have done the same to protect their wife from harassment.
Huo Mei Shu paid to obtain a copy of the video from a kind bystander. The three of them then left the mall.
"I'll take you home first, get in." Rong Dai had wanted to ride with Huo Mei Shu since Huo Shao Ting had to return to work, but he called her back before she could leave.
"Brother, no need to be so jealous. I would never have designs on sister-in-law, right?" Huo Mei Shu laughed helplessly, realizing what kind of brother he was!
"That's hard to say." Huo Shao Ting responded mildly.
Huo Mei Shu: "..."
She was a proper woman! With very normal preferences!
But Huo Shao Ting didn't give her a chance to retort, driving off directly.
Their cars left the garage one after the other, just missing Shi Ning who was arriving.
Not finding them in the mall, Shi Ning had called the friend she was meeting for dinner, but a security guard had answered.
She rushed over and was shocked to see the three men's battered state. "What on earth happened?"
"Miss, I think watching the video will be most direct. They've had teeth punched out so talking might be hard now."
The guard had also obtained copies of the video as evidence and immediately showed Shi Ning.
Shi Ning watched in confusion, seeing they had harassed Rong Dai, then was even more surprised when Huo Shao Ting appeared and punched them.
But she also knew they could only silently eat the loss. Of all people, they just had to provoke Huo Shao Ting.
With this video, Huo Shao Ting could easily have them deported. Let alone continuing business in Huaxia.
