Shen Wanyu's sudden punch left everyone present stunned.
Including Jiang Linyuan.
In his impression, although the Department Head was cold by nature, she rarely hit people.
Shen Wanyu looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao without expression.
"I'm the one who got involved in this. Do you have some kind of psychological condition that's triggered a physical illness? How could you provoke a man with the strength of an ape?"
"Department Head, that last part was unnecessary."
Jiang Linyuan couldn't help chiming in with a quip.
"What do you mean, provoke?!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao clutched her stomach, her face twisted in pain. It seemed Shen Wanyu's punch had landed hard.
Perhaps the force of Shen Wanyu's punch had frightened her. She didn't dare to hit back, and instead asked angrily:
"I was helping Yiyi. What does it have to do with you?!"
Shen Wanyu replied calmly:
"If you really wanted to stop this farce, you should have stepped in much earlier instead of standing in the crowd, looking on and joining in the jeering."
Zhang Xiaoxiao looked flustered for a moment, then immediately retorted:
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Then she turned to Bai Yi.
"Yiyi, don't listen to her! I just got here!"
So much for best friends. She was pushing her straight into the fire.
Honestly, she couldn't let her friend have a happy life.
Jiang Linyuan watched Bai Yi, wondering how she would respond.
Bai Yi glanced at Shen Wanyu, clearly torn. She tugged at Zhang Xiaoxiao's sleeve.
"Xiaoxiao, can we stop making a scene? Let's just go. Being confessed to is already awkward enough..."
Zhang Xiaoxiao jerked her head up.
"You don't believe me, Yiyi? We've been best friends for so many years! I even got punched! And you're saying we should leave because it's awkward?!"
Bai Yi didn't
