Chapter 38 A Loud Slap
Chapter 38 A Loud Slap
"Hey, isn't that your sister, Hua Meimei?" Someone patted Hua An'an on the shoulder and pointed at Hua Meimei, who was rushing towards them.
With a slender figure, wearing a black leather jacket, long wavy hair, and sunglasses perched on her head, she was both cool and beautiful.
All the male students on the basketball court were staring wide-eyed, and no one paid attention to playing basketball.
Some boys were whispering among themselves, "Why isn't this girl in this year's school beauty pageant?"
Hua An'an used to look down on her older sister Hua Meimei and bullied her openly and secretly at home and school.
Lately, things have been strange. She's like a completely different person, incredibly cool, walking around like a domineering CEO.
The boys around her were all staring at Hua Meimei, practically drooling.
"Hua An'an, your sister is so beautiful!" Lu Rui didn't even turn his head, but stretched out an arm and grabbed Hua An'an's shoulder, shaking him. "Does she have a boyfriend? Introduce her to me!"
"She looked really good in the live stream, we thought it was because she was using a beauty filter. If we had known she was even prettier in person than in the live stream, we wouldn't have messed with her."
I'm going to pursue her!
"Are you even capable? Get out of my way, I'll chase after them!"
"None of you will do, she belongs to me, Lu Rui!"
Friends eagerly lined up to chase after Berry.
Suddenly, Hua An'an felt a glow on her face as she thought about having such a wonderful older sister by her side.
Berry is getting closer and closer to them.
They quickly shut their mouths, held their breath, and welcomed the arrival of the goddess.
"Which one of you is Lu Rui?" Hua Meimei walked up to them, crossed her arms, and stood straight.
The boys' military training DNA was instantly activated. They stood up straight and pointed in unison at Lu Rui, the blond-haired boy standing next to Hua An'an.
"Sister, he is Lu Rui." The group said in unison.
Lu Rui stood the straightest. He suddenly felt a sense of pride, like being singled out and praised by the coach.
"Sister Meimei, I'm Lu Rui. How do you know my name?" Lu Rui smiled obsequiously.
Wow, out of so many people, the goddess only chose me and knew my name. I'm so honored.
"Let you kids be envious!" Lu Rui gave his compatriots a smug look.
The next second, "smack—"
Before Lu Rui could even turn his face, he turned his left cheek toward Hua Meimei because he was looking at his companion, and received a solid slap on his face.
"Tsk tsk tsk..." The companions gasped.
The arrogant Young Master Lu got beaten up!
Holy crap, nobody in the whole school dared to hit him.
When he makes a mistake, the hospital leaders only give him a verbal reprimand. His parents have too much influence; no one dares to offend them.
Hua An'an was stunned: "Hua Meimei, what are you doing?"
Hua An'an was considered a prominent rich kid at school. The Lu family was even richer and more powerful than the Hua family, and the usually arrogant Hua An'an had to bow down in front of Lu Rui.
Hua Meimei glanced coldly at Hua An'an, ignoring him for the time being. "Shut up and go away."
Hua An'an was intimidated by her imposing presence and decided to hold back for now to see what tricks she would pull.
Lu Rui covered his face, his expression instantly becoming a kaleidoscope of emotions.
It's a mix of the embarrassment of being publicly humiliated and the thrill of being conquered.
Of all the girls he'd been with, none had dared to treat him like that; he'd grown tired of them all. But Hua Meimei's coolness inexplicably ignited his desire to conquer her.
"Sister Meimei, why did you hit me?" Lu Rui laughed. "Hitting is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love. Do you have feelings for me?"
Everyone was speechless: "..."
Hua Meimei was amused by his words. How could someone get beaten up?
Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and her smile was dazzling in the sunlight.
Lu Rui, that lecherous scoundrel, was almost completely infatuated with her. "Sister Meimei, if you keep laughing, I'm going to get a nosebleed."
Lu Rui's companions knew him well; he was not only irritable but also lecherous and somewhat eccentric.
So no one found his behavior strange.
Hua Meimei found it strange, so she stretched out two slender fingers and beckoned to him with a smile.
Lu Rui thought she was going to kiss him, so he quickly moved his face closer to hers.
“Turn your face.” She gestured for him to turn his face to the left, showing his right cheek.
He obediently did as instructed.
"Slap—" Hua Meimei slapped him hard on the right cheek again.
As a result, red finger marks were left on both sides of Lu Rui's face.
"Was it good?" Hua Meimei asked Lu Rui.
"Awesome!" Lu Rui touched the warm red liquid flowing from his nose.
A large group of people watched silently on the basketball court, and no one dared to step forward to break up the fight.
Even Lu Rui's companions were watching the drama unfold.
I'm used to being bullied by Lu Rui, so seeing him get hurt occasionally is actually quite satisfying!
It would be best to slap him a few more times!
"Do you know why I hit you?" Hua Meimei asked again.
"Why?" Lu Rui asked innocently.
"Remember the other day when you led the fight against Xiao Hei from the sports academy?"
Lu Rui has fought against too many people to remember them all.
"Why did you hit my employee?" Hua Meimei shouted angrily.
"Your employee?" Lu Rui was completely bewildered. His memory slowly rewound, and he recalled that a few days ago, Hua An'an had asked him to help her beat up an assistant in Hua Meimei's live stream.
That assistant was a sports student from Amagi University.
So his name is Xiao Hei.
"It's him!" Lu Rui pointed at Hua An'an. "That brat asked me to help him beat someone up."
Hua An'an was caught off guard when she stumbled upon the gossip herself.
Hua Meimei dared to hit Lu Rui, and she used considerable force. Hua An'an couldn't be sure that Hua Meimei wouldn't hit him back.
He used to bully Hua Meimei, but now it's his turn to be a little afraid of her.
"So it was you who was behind this." Hua Meimei quickly stepped forward and grabbed Hua An'an's ear.
When she fights, she's incredibly fast, ruthless, and precise. She targets opponents who can't defend against her attacks.
Hua An'an was in excruciating pain. "Hua Meimei, what are you doing? Let go!"
"Tell me, are you trying to mess with me? And you're taking it out on my employees?"
"So what if it is?" Hua An'an admitted it so sweetly.
The other companions also participated in this, and one by one they took a few steps back guiltily.
Lu Rui took the initiative to admit it and shifted the blame: "Sister, it was Hua An'an who did this. The night before New Year's Day, he sent people to disrupt your live stream and also paid a lot of classmates to buy your products."
Lu Rui did not participate in the incident of spamming the live stream to slander Hua Meimei, so he did not know Hua Meimei that day.
However, he did participate in leading the attack on Xiao Hei.
"Hua An'an, we both have the surname Hua, why are you targeting me?" Of course she knew that Hua An'an had disliked her since childhood.
She never expected that Hua An'an would dare to block her path to wealth. Blocking someone's path to wealth is tantamount to taking their life.
"I...I..." Hua An'an stammered.
At this moment, her phone rang.
It was Huang Ya calling.
There must be an emergency at the company.
Her right hand gripped Hua An'an's ear tightly, while her left hand answered the phone.
"What's wrong, Xiaoya?" she asked calmly.
"Boss Hua, something bad has happened. The warehouse has received a lot of returned items. Our store has also received a lot of negative reviews. It feels like a prank. They all came out at once, with similar reasons, saying that there is a problem with our products."
Furthermore, we discovered that most of those returned items originated from Tiancheng University. The programmers also found that a large number of negative reviews came from IP addresses belonging to Tiancheng University.
Huang Ya's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
One can imagine that everyone in the company must be in a state of panic right now.
E-commerce platforms fear extremely high return rates and negative review rates the most. These can cause a store's rating to drop, traffic to be lost, and future customers to be hesitant to buy from them.
"Xiaoya, don't panic, I'll go back as soon as I've finished dealing with things here." Hua Meimei hung up the phone.
Then, she cast a fierce glance at Hua An'an's face.
He was startled, his pupils shrinking slightly. "Hua Meimei, what do you think you're doing? This is broad daylight, this is school! If you dare hit me, Mom and Dad will never forgive you!"
A fearless smile curled at the corners of Hua Meimei's lips as she quickly raised her hand and slapped Hua An'an's face twice, left and right.
Seeing that Hua An'an was also injured, Lu Rui laughed triumphantly, "You little brat, you dared to lie to me and help you bully Sister Meimei, you deserve it."
Hua An'an had never been beaten since she was a child; it was always him who beat and scolded others. Now, she felt extremely wronged.
Especially since the person who hit him was Hua Meimei, whom he had bullied for over a decade. The humiliation, anger, and resentment in his heart twisted into a knot, finally turning into two lines of tears.
"Ah—" Hua An'an was about to raise her hand to slap Hua Meimei's face and return the slap to her.
Unexpectedly, someone grabbed his hand in mid-air.
Everyone present was stunned.
Who is this person who suddenly appeared out of nowhere to save the day?
Hua Meimei and Hua An'an both looked up at him at the same time and were stunned.
Luo Jiuyu frowned slightly, his gaze shifting from Hua An'an's tear-streaked face to Hua Meimei's.
He gently scolded, "Why did you come to the school and hit a student?"
Following behind Luo Jiuyu were the principal and a group of school leaders.
The short, stout principal, panting, pointed at Hua Meimei, "You...you...where did you come from? Why are you beating...beating our students here?"
