Bai Xiuren didn't know what got to her and disregarding her image, she said whatever came to her mind.

Xie Ming's words provocated her to the extent that she didn't even realise what she was speaking.

Before she could complete her words, someone came from behind grabbed her arm tightly and slapped her across the face.

PAK

She was stunned and tears welled up in her eyes due to stinging pain. She placed her hand over her cheek where she was slapped and asked as her voice quivered.

" You slapped me? For this bi*ch?"

Bai Ju frowned when he heard Xiuren swearing at Xie Ming in front of everyone. He pursed his lips and said in a cold, deep voice, " Xiuren, since when did you start to behave like a shrew? I never saw you talking to anyone like this. Is this how you truly are? Where is my strong and confident sister on whom I was so proud?"

He was disappointed seeing his sister behaving like this. He never thought that his sister, whom he loved so much and always pampered her, could talk like this.

After Xiuren left the room, Liwei told them that at first he disliked Xie Ming as well.

But recently when she woke up from the coma, she changed drastically. She became well mannered, obedient and she even started to look differently than before. Her way of dressing and styling changed dramatically.

She felt like a completely different person. She became kind and caring to others and their relationship improved quite a lot.

Xiao Jun also told him how Xie Ming got hurt after getting kidnapped. Though he didn't get to see her at that time, from everyone's reaction, including Liwei's family he can see that she has changed now and has captured everyone's heart.

Hearing everyone's words, Bai Ju's interpretation has also started to change. He started to think that maybe she might not be that bad.

He started to doubt his sister's provocative words and his biased impression of Xie Ming.

And when they didn't come for a while, they all decided to go out of the club and eat proper dinner with everyone since Xie Ming is not drinking.

When they came out, they found that Xie Ming and Xiuren were arguing over something.

He heard Xie Ming say to Xiuren to let go of Liwei even if she loved him. It's futile to be stuck over a married man.

He realized what was going on. Liwei wanted to go over there but he stopped him and wanted to see what was happening from afar.

Though Xie Ming didn't back out but her words were in limit and she didn't personally attack Bai Xiuren in that argument. She was just trying to tell Xiuren that she is married to Liwei and no one can take her position.

But his expressions darkened when his sister started to shout hysterically that too her words were too aggressive and disgusting.

She spoke ill of Xie Ming's family and even included her late mother in that. That was something out of Bai Ju's expectations.

He couldn't hold himself seeing his sister acting like a mad person and walked towards her and gave her a tight slap on face.

....

Bai Xiuren gritted her teeth and glared at Bai Ju with hatred in her eyes, " What? Shrew? You called me shrew? Do you even know what she said? She said that Liwei is hers and I can't get him. Do you know how hard I have worked to reach this level and suddenly this girl came from nowhere saying that she is Mrs. Jin?"

" Bai Ju, I thought that you were not only my brother but my best friend. I thought you understood me. But how can you hit me for her? How dare you hit me? Who are you to hit me?" she shouted hysterically.

Bai Ju was startled seeing his sister acting like this.

" Xiuren, I am your brother. I have every right to show you what you're doing is absolutely wrong. I don't know about your crush on Liwei but what you're doing is absolutely unacceptable."

" He is married now, for God sake. Can't you understand this simple thing? You can't do this. You're a strong, independent woman. You have proved yourself to everyone then why are being like this? You can get a better man in the future. There is no need to degrade yourself by acting like this. " his heart ached seeing her acting like this over a man.

He knew that he should not have slapped her but he also realized that she has been pampered to the core.

No one has ever hit her before and she got whatever she asked for. That's why she became so stubborn.

He frowned when he saw the expression in her eyes, it was clear that she hated him at the moment.

Xie Ming was shocked when Bai Ju suddenly slapped Bai Xiuren. Though she was angry as well when she heard Xiuren's words about Xie Ming's family.

But she was not expecting Bai Ju to act this way.

Liwei walked to Xie Ming's side and placed a hand on her shoulders pulling her in his embrace.

He didn't say anything because Bai Ju was dealing with Bai Xiuren. They were old friends and when Bai Ju was talking to Bai Xiuren it was not appropriate for him to interfere.

" I am degrading myself by acting this way? What am I doing? I am just trying to tell this bitch that she does not deserve to be Mrs. Jin. She is nothing but a pretty face. She can do nothing to help Liwei but I can help him in the business. I am capable enough to stand by his side as his partner but she is not "

" She is a nobody. I can't accept this kind of girl as his wife. I can't. If I wouldn't have followed you to study abroad to make myself capable enough, I would have been by Liwei's side now. It's all because of you. I shouldn't have agreed to your words to study abroad. " Bai Xiuren wailed as she hit Bai Ju's chest.

They own many hotels and for that to take over the business they have to study the business management and hotel management properly. Bai Xiuren was interested in the business and investment side, so she chose that path.

Bai Ju wanted to manage the hotel himself and love this kind of work, so he learned hotel management.

.

They were sent abroad to study but Bai Xiuren was reluctant to go because of Liwei but Bai Ju convinced her saying that if she wanted to pursue someone, she needed to become capable enough to do that.

He has said that to make her study hard and he didn't know that she liked someone so strongly.

Bai Xiuren took his words to heart and did her best all these years but now he is saying that she is degrading herself? How?

Bai Ju looked at Xiuren who was losing her sanity.

He held her by the arms and said, " Xiuren, I wanted you to become the better version of you. I know you may think I am being bossy now but it's all for your sake. Xiuren you should not act like this. It's not worth it."

He couldn't understand why his sister was getting insane for a man. He has never seen her acting like this before

At that time, he didn't know that she had a crush on Liwei. He just generally told her this because he doesn't want her to waste her important time of her life on something insignificant.

He never thought that his sister would think of him like this.
