Chapter Twenty-Seven: Public Humiliation, Utter Disgrace-Depois de renascer, mandei a família inteira da mulher tóxica para a cadeia(Um pedaço de açúcar de malte)

"You don't believe me? Then I'll prove it to you!"

Su Zijin, sensing Xu Ruowei's skepticism, stood on her tiptoes and planted a light kiss on Xu Ye's cheek with a soft *pop*.

"How about that? Do you believe me now?"

Xu Ye was stunned—completely dumbfounded. He could understand Su Zijin trying to bail him out; after all, setting aside the romantic tension between them, there was over four years of "brotherly camaraderie." But for her to go through with it for real?

He stared blankly at the girl beside him, her delicate face flushed right to the tips of her ears, and felt as though his heart were melting. *Su Zijin... in this life, I will never let you down!*

Xu Ruowei was caught off guard, but then she shook her head in disbelief. "Impossible. I don't believe it. You must have hired her!"

Throughout the past four years, how had Xu Ye groveled at her feet? If she so much as frowned, he would panic to the point of desperation, practically begging her on his knees to stop. A pathetic lapdog who had debased himself to such an extent—how could he possibly be dating someone else? And it was even more impossible for him to have found a new flame so quickly. It was all too sudden, completely devoid of any warning; who would believe it wasn't a setup?

"Ha, do you think this will make me jealous?" Xu Ruowei sneered. "Xu Ye, if that’s what you’re thinking, then you’re overestimating yourself. You’re childish—childish to the point of absurdity. Please, if you’re going to hire someone, at least find someone with a better figure. What is this? An ugly flat-chested board? Are you trying to be funny?"

The more Xu Ruowei spoke, the more convinced she became of her own theory, until she finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter. As for the woman being no less attractive than her—or, strictly speaking, even more stunning? *Nonsense. Where is she better than me? She’s barely even a B-cup, and her looks are far inferior to mine!*

The next second, a heavy slap landed squarely on her face, sending her crashing to the floor. She was stunned, clutching her rapidly swelling left cheek, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Xu Ye, you... you hit me again?"

The others were equally shocked, especially Jiang Yang and his group. The slap had been so sudden that neither of them had time to react. But how dared he? Yesterday’s incident was one thing, but to do it again today? Was this damn bastard truly insane?

Even Su Zijin parted her red lips in slight surprise, unable to believe Xu Ye's reaction. He had actually... slapped Xu Ruowei? She knew that Xu Ruowei was his "white moonlight." So, had he really let go? Her persistence... it had truly been worth it!

"So what if I hit you?" Xu Ye’s gaze was icy, a chilling aura radiating from his entire being. Ever since the final moment he witnessed before his rebirth, Su Zijin had become the most sacred presence in his heart, one that no one was allowed to desecrate. Let alone Xu Ruowei, who dared to debase Su Zijin with such reckless words. A slap was getting off lightly; if he didn't trample her most cherished pride into the dust today, he would write his own name backward!

Xu Ruowei’s eyes welled up with tears from the pain. "Xu Ye, you bastard, have you really lost your mind? And what right do you have to make me apologize to her? What—"

Before she could finish, Xu Ye landed another heavy slap on her right cheek. "Don't give me any of your nonsense. Apologize, now!"

"Enough, Xu Ye! You’ve gone too far!" Jiang Yang and the others finally snapped out of their shock, their faces twisted with rage. "Ruowei is your boss, your master! She was kind enough not to hold a grudge yesterday, and now you’re pushing your luck? Are you trying to turn the world upside down?"

Xu Ye interrupted them without a hint of hesitation. "Do you really think I am Xu Ruowei’s servant?" He scanned the room, his gaze finally settling on Xu Ruowei. "Since they all think so, why don't you explain it yourself?" He leaned forward, his eyes freezing. "Between you and me, who is the master and who is the servant?"

Xu Ruowei glared at Xu Ye, a flicker of panic finally crossing her face. *This bastard... is he for real? No, it's impossible. How could he be so heartless to me?*

Pei An tried to step forward to mediate, but Xu Ye kicked him away. "You dog, how many times have I warned you? Don't go bouncing around in front of me! You love sticking up for Xu Ruowei? You’d better see if you have the strength for it!"

"Xu Ye, are you really going to force me like this?" Xu Ruowei gritted her teeth, her eyes full of resentment. He knew she was insecure. He knew that the persona of the "young lady of the Xu family" was the thing she cared about most. And yet, he was humiliating her in public again and again, even demanding she apologize to a hired actress. Wasn't this slapping her in the face in front of everyone? Everyone was watching her become a laughingstock.

How could he do this? Hadn't he promised to spoil her for the rest of his life?

Xu Ye looked at her and chuckled softly. "You want me to keep your secret? Fine. Apologize!" His gaze was cold; he was determined to tear this woman’s mask off today!

"Fine, I'll apologize!" Xu Ruowei struggled for a long time, but finally relented through gritted teeth. She had realized the reality: if she didn't apologize, Xu Ye would definitely expose her identity. Compared to that, what was an apology? She would just do it!

"I'm sorry." She turned to leave.

"Stand still! Is that the attitude you have when apologizing? Don't you know how to bow?" Xu Ye yanked her back. "Xu Ruowei, don't force me to go back on my word!"

"You—" Xu Ruowei was so angry she was on the verge of tears, but thinking of the consequences of being exposed, she bowed in total humiliation. "I'm sorry. What I said earlier was wrong. I apologize to you."

Having said that, she could no longer hold it together and ran out of the restaurant in tears.

"Ruowei... Ruowei..."

"Xu Ye, you just wait! I will never let you get away with this!" Jiang Yang, now Xu Ruowei’s number two lapdog, was heartbroken, his eyes burning with rage as he looked at Xu Ye.

"Jiang Yang, go after Ruowei! As for this stinking lackey Xu Ye, Young Master Ji will be more than enough to deal with him!" Wu Siyu was also furious, staring coldly at Xu Ye.

No one believed there was anything wrong with Xu Ruowei’s identity. After all, for the past year, she had been driving different luxury cars every day, frequently treating them to food and entertainment, and had plenty of photos of herself living in the Xu family villa. With so much evidence, how could it not be true?

On the contrary, who in Jiangzhou University didn't know that Xu Ye was just the son of Ruowei’s nanny—a study companion and a lackey? The only reason he was bullying his "master" now must be because he had secretly gotten hold of some dirt on Ruowei or the Xu family. Yes, it had to be that. But to be this arrogant and bully his own master? This damn Xu Ye was just tired of living!
