Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Zhao Rui sneered at those words and said, "Compensate? You motherf—, if I knew you were acquainted with this little bastard—"

Before she could finish, Zhou Yuwen grabbed Zhao Rui by the arm.

"Ah! What are you doing?!"

*Slap!*

Zhou Yuwen slapped her hard. "Who are you calling a little bastard?"

"You!"

*Slap!*

Another slap across the face. "I'm asking again, who's the little bastard?!"

This time Zhou Yuwen was genuinely furious. Damn it, a half-grown girl, and her mouth's this filthy?

Who taught her this?

"You,"

*Slap!*

Yet another slap.

"You've got guts, I like girls with guts like you. Go on, say it again, who's the little bastard?"

Zhao Rui's face was red from the slaps, but Zhou Yuwen showed no mercy. He held her there, ready to strike again if she dared to speak.

The onlookers started to feel uncomfortable.

"Zhou Yuwen, you're bullying a girl..." Luo Jialiang couldn't help speaking up.

"Shut up."

Zhou Yuwen shut him down immediately and then turned back to Zhao Rui. "Say it again, who's the little bastard."

"I..."

Zhou Yuwen raised his hand, ready to slap again. Zhao Rui, seeing this, quickly shrank back in fear. "Don't hit me! Don't hit me! I wasn't finished speaking!"

"Then say it."

"I... I wasn't calling you that!" Zhao Rui had finally backed down, deciding to endure for now and retaliate when reinforcements arrived.

Zhou Yuwen asked, "Then who were you cursing?"

"I... I was cursing him!"

Zhou Yuwen had been guiding her to admit she was the little bastard herself.

But who would've thought this girl was clever enough to shift direction, directly pointing at Luo Jialiang instead.

Hearing this, Zhou Yuwen laughed and glanced at Luo Jialiang. Luo's expression was quite the sight. Zhou Yuwen asked, "Weren't you cursing at me?"

"I wasn't cursing you! I was cursing him, cursing that little bastard who bumped into me!" Zhao Rui said.

Luo Jialiang's face instantly turned purple with rage, unable to utter a word.

Zhou Yuwen asked him, "Want me to teach her a lesson for you?"

"Forget it, there's no need. Let's get out of here quickly! She said she was going to call someone," Luo Jialiang said.

The other students agreed; they were just regular university students and didn't want any trouble.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Zhao Rui panicked a little and shouted, "If you've got the guts, don't leave! What, are you scared?!"

She directed this straight at Zhou Yuwen.

"Scared?"

Zhou Yuwen sneered disdainfully, raising his hand.

Zhao Rui instinctively flinched and dodged.

Zhou Yuwen smirked coldly. "You're the one who's scared, aren't you?"

"You!"

For a moment, Zhao Rui was speechless.

At this point, Jin Kai came charging breathlessly into a large private room.

Xie Lei was still downing drinks with Xu Wei on the other side.

Jin Kai rushed over frantically. "Lei-ge! Lei-ge!"

He didn't care who Xie Lei was drinking with and interrupted directly.

Xie Lei frowned, clearly annoyed. "What the hell are you doing?! Can't you see I'm drinking with Shuo-ge?"

Shuo-ge?

As Xie Lei glanced up, he realized it was the so-called second-in-command Shuo-ge who had just entered earlier!

"I-I..."

Liu Shuo's towering frame radiated intimidation, and Jin Kai immediately felt like he'd made a mistake.

But Liu Shuo waved his hand dismissively. "It's fine. Hey, brother, why haven't I seen you before?"

"Shuo-ge, this is my younger bro. He's not from Jinling; I brought him here today to see the scene," Xie Lei said with an ingratiating smile.

"Oh! Then why all the panic?" Liu Shuo asked, laughing.

Facing such a big shot, Jin Kai was still a little nervous. He stammered, stole a glance at Xie Lei, then at Xu Wei, and finally blurted out, "Lei-ge, Wei-ge! Zhao Rui... Zhao Rui got beaten up outside!"

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked. Who had the balls to assault someone they knew in a place like this?!

Wasn't this a direct insult to them?

Even Liu Shuo frowned upon hearing this. "What the hell?! We're all here, and someone dared to hit one of ours? I want to see who the hell has the nerve! Let's go, brothers!"

"Yeah!"

With Liu Shuo's word, everyone who was eating instantly got up, exuding an intimidating air.

Jin Kai was overwhelmed with emotions at this sight. He thought, *This is a sure win!*

*That bastard's gonna be scared sh*tless!*

And so, led by Liu Shuo, this imposing group charged out of the room, making such a commotion that anyone in the hallway could feel the vibrations.

"Let's see who's got the guts to mess with someone from the Xu Huai Association!"

The voices were already deafening before the group even appeared in sight.

Having spent time with Liu Shuo, Zhou Yuwen immediately recognized his voice.

But the others, seeing such an aggressive parade, instantly turned fearful.

Zhao Rui, hearing the commotion, was overjoyed.

Taking advantage of Zhou Yuwen's distraction, she pulled away and shouted, "Little bastard!"

"It's you, you little bastard! You're done for! You're not getting away today! Little bastard!"

No sooner had she said this than the intimidating group arrived.

But the moment they saw Zhou Yuwen, everyone froze.

Liu Shuo, who had been shouting enthusiastically, fell silent. Even Xu Wei, hoping to ride on someone else's authority, had been swearing about teaching the blind fool a lesson.

The collective rage among the Xu Huai Association was at its peak.

But the moment they realized the person standing in front of them was Zhou Yuwen, everyone was dumbstruck.

"???"

Only Jin Kai still strutted ahead, pointing at Zhou Yuwen arrogantly. "Shuo-ge! It's him! He's the one who hit my sister!"

"Yeah! That little bastard hit me, Shuo-ge! Get revenge for me!" Zhao Rui finally saw her chance, clinging to Liu Shuo like he was her savior and calling him "Shuo-ge."

The few trusted followers who came with Liu Shuo looked mortified as Zhao Rui accused Zhou Yuwen. They thought to themselves, *Shuo-ge's in deep trouble now.*

Zhou Yuwen found the entire situation amusing as he looked at Liu Shuo's earlier bravado. "Liu Shuo, you've got some nerve, huh? What now? You gonna hit me?"

"Bro..." Liu Shuo was utterly embarrassed at this point.

In that moment, Jin Kai, Zhao Rui, and Sun Bo—all of them were stunned.

But Xu Wei, being sharp, didn't say a word. Instead, he aimed a ferocious kick at Jin Kai, sending him crashing to his knees before Zhou Yuwen. "Are you f—ing kidding me? This is our Xu Huai Association's boss! Damn it!"

One kick brought Jin Kai to his knees before Zhou Yuwen.

"?" Jin Kai still couldn't believe it.

"You, you said what?!"

Zhao Rui turned pale upon hearing this, struggling to comprehend as she stared at Zhou Yuwen.

At this point, Zhou Yuwen looked back at her. Locking his gaze with hers, he asked, "Who's the little bastard now? Was the little bastard cursing me?"

"I..."

At that moment, Zhao Rui felt like her world was collapsing.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Zhao Rui suddenly slapped herself hard.

This show of self-loathing was brutal. Her face, red and swollen from Zhou Yuwen's earlier slaps, bore the brunt as she struck herself again without a second thought.

"I was cursing myself! The little bastard was me!" Zhao Rui said.
