Chapter 58: I Won't Kneel to a Beast
Shen Zhichu had anticipated many outcomes, but she never thought Li Jingshen would go to such lengths to defend Xia Mingyue and openly mock her.
Her heart ached and felt numb, but she couldn't help the discomfort. Shen Zhichu coughed twice, wiping the blood from her hand on her clothes. Luckily, she was wearing a black coat today, so the bloodstains were not noticeable.

Hitting her twice is nothing compared to one of your slaps." Shen Zhichu leaned back on the edge of the bed, struggling to sit up. Her body wobbled, but she managed to stay upright.
Li Jingshen's slap was harder than any other time, leaving her bleeding from her nose and mouth, her head still spinning.
Ignoring Shen Zhichu's weak appearance, Li Jingshen thought she was just pretending, seeking sympathy. He had fallen for her act before!
