Sato Chōfu's background was far from ordinary. If Yuan Wei offended him, the consequences would be dire.
Shi Ran hadn't expected a man to step forward to protect Yun Shasha. She also noticed that the man was imposing and not like an ordinary person.
But Yuan Wei dared to confront Sato Chōfu for her, and Shi Ran was somewhat moved.
Her gaze as she looked up at Yuan Wei was filled with a bit of admiration and gratitude.
Sato Chōfu saw the slap on Meng Jingwei's face, then looked down at the woman in his arms. "She hit you, but you also hit her. Not only that, but she was also kicked. Are you saying Mrs. Qing can be bullied by me, Sato Chōfu?"
"What do you mean? Yun Shasha made a scene at my boss's mourning hall, she deserved to be hit!"
Whether it was Song Ci getting too into character or his genuine dislike for Yun Shasha, he appeared extremely angry, his face flushed. He added, "You keep saying she's your woman, you should control her. Don't let her appear before my young madam again."
After speaking, Song Ci looked at Yun Shasha again. "Also, Yun Shasha, listen to me. Even if my boss is dead, he is still the young madam's man. You questioning her, you are not qualified!"
Meng Jingwei: "..."
Today, Song Ci suddenly had an aura of two meters and eighty, so handsome.
Sato Chōfu knew the reason Yun Shasha had come to cause trouble, but being told it out loud publicly made him lose face. He suppressed the chilling anger in his eyes. "Even so, it's not a reason for you to hit her. Mrs. Qing, if you don't give me an explanation for this matter, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Mr. Sato, my country has a saying, 'The deceased should be respected.' Is Mr. Sato trying to cause trouble at my husband's memorial service?"
Even though Meng Jingwei was shorter than Sato Chōfu, her demeanor did not diminish when facing him. She had the presence of a female general who fought on the battlefield.
Sato Chōfu glanced back at the ice coffin beside him, his brows furrowing. "For the sake of Qing Muye having treated Shasha well, I'll give him some face. If there's a next time, don't blame me for being impolite."
"I thank you on behalf of my husband," Meng Jingwei said.
Sato Chōfu snorted coldly, then took Yun Shasha's hand and walked out. He walked very quickly, and Yun Shasha, in her high heels, couldn't keep up, having to jog to follow him.
Meng Jingwei watched their retreating backs, feeling a bad premonition.
Given Sato Chōfu's temperament, Yun Shasha would likely be beaten tonight.
Of course, her guess was entirely correct.
"Hoo..."
Shi Ran let out a relieved sigh. "Sister Wei, who was that person? He had such a powerful aura."
"Not very familiar," Meng Jingwei shook her head and held her hand. "I know you mean well, but don't be so impulsive in the future, okay?"
Yun Shasha had come to make a scene today because of Qing Muye. Although Sato Chōfu was furious about Yun Shasha's behavior, it didn't mean he would tolerate others bullying Yun Shasha.
If Sato Chōfu retaliated against Shi Ran or Yuan Wei, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Yes, Ranran, too impulsive," Lin Meng also said worriedly.
"I know I was wrong," Shi Ran nodded, lowering her head and muttering, "I just can't stand to see Sister Wei being bullied."
"Mmm, I know," Meng Jingwei patted her hand, comforting her.
Lu Yanming and Han Yu stood by the side, saying nothing.
Just now, they thought Meng Jingwei wouldn't be able to handle Sato Chōfu, but unexpectedly, she sent him away with just a few words, making them seem useless.
Shi Ran walked over to Yuan Wei and nervously placed her hand on his arm. "Yuan Wei, thank you for what you did just now. But I think Sister Wei is right. You shouldn't be so impulsive in the future. It would be terrible if you offended someone."
"It's fine. It's only natural for a man to protect a woman," Yuan Wei smiled knowingly, his smile exceptionally bright and healing.
