The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Of course Shen Yuan recognized Xu Yiyu who had confronted her at Kara tea yesterday. She did not become quiet and gentle. She just did not want to talk to anyone because she had a stomachache on the first day of her menstrual period.

As a woman, Xu Yiyu could somewhat notice the fatigue in Shen Yuan's expression today. Although she still looked arrogant and looked down on others, Xu Yiyu could roughly infer from her pale face that Shen Yuan was most likely having her menstrual period this month.

This is not bad. We don’t disturb each other and live in peace.

Xu Yiyu and Shen Yuan neither picked quarrels with each other nor were they sarcastic towards each other. For a moment, the atmosphere in the rest area was... strangely quiet and peaceful.

Although Shen Yuan didn't say anything, she was secretly observing Xu Yiyu: Today she was not dressed as casually as yesterday, but a little more dignified. It seemed that she came here for something important... Was she here for an interview at this company? Or was she here to discuss a project on behalf of another company?

Xu Yiyu noticed Shen Yuan's expression as he looked diagonally downward, and guessed that this Mrs. Chen was probably trying to guess his identity. He didn't say anything, but continued to pretend that his attention was focused on the plot of the novel, without even changing the focus of his gaze.

"Mrs. Chen, your water... be careful it's hot."

After Xiao Fang brought the water, he carefully placed it on the low table in front of Shen Yuan, then removed his hand and quickly took two steps back.

Even if this lady hasn't started to cause trouble today, she is definitely not someone who is easy to mess with. It is true that she doesn't want to bother serving him, but Mr. Chen's attitude is so nice... Xiao Fang decided that for Mr. Chen's sake, he should take care of this lady a little.

Shen Yuan did not thank Xiao Fang, but just glanced at her arrogantly and reached out to pick up the glass of water.

Xiao Fang breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to take this opportunity to leave quietly, but something unexpected happened on Shen Yuan's side.

I don't know if it was because the water in the paper cup was really hot, or if Shen Yuan was just trying to find fault with him, but Shen Yuan suddenly screamed as soon as he picked up the cup. His hand loosened instantly, and the paper cup fell freely. All the water in it spilled onto Shen Yuan's clothes, causing Shen Yuan to scream even more miserably.

Xu Yiyu sighed silently in his heart: Alas, the calm before the storm ended so quickly...

"What's wrong with you? Why did you pour such hot water for me? If I get burned when I drink the water, can you afford to pay me? And if I can't wash this dress worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, I can't wear it anymore. Even if you pay me five years' salary, I won't be able to afford it!"

Shen Yuan seemed to have been touched by some details. The fatigue on her face disappeared instantly. She jumped up and pointed her long-nailed hand at the bewildered Xiao Fang, and started scolding her in an exaggerated and sharp tone.

People who were resting in the lobby on the first floor immediately turned their eyes over. Apart from anything else, this woman's voice was too sharp, and she was full of energy when she scolded people. If they hadn't heard what Mr. Chen had just said, no one would have thought that she was not feeling well.

Xu Yiyu frowned, and seeing that Shen Yuan's long nails were about to poke Xiao Fang's face, he shouted "system" in his heart.

"Tongzi, did you notice the temperature of the glass of water that Xiaofang just brought? Was it really hot?"

"Host, the water that the receptionist just brought over has been scanned by our system. It is normal warm water. The temperature of this cup of water will not burn your skin even if you come into direct contact with it."

Influenced by Xu Yiyu, the system didn't think much of this human woman named Shen Yuan, so when Xiao Fang brought the water just now, the system was afraid of any unexpected situation and scanned the water temperature first.

"It's impossible to burn the skin, right..." Xu Yiyu's eyes darkened a little, and his impression of Shen Yuan became much worse.

Tongzi's data cannot be wrong, so there is only one possibility - Shen Yuan's princess syndrome has recurred and she is taking advantage of this incident to make trouble.

"Mrs. Chen, I'm sorry! I was afraid that the water would burn you. I poured warm water... It shouldn't have burned you."

Xiao Fang's thoughts became a little confused after being yelled at by Shen Yuan. In addition, Mrs. Chen did have a bad reputation, so she subconsciously started to argue.

After hearing Xiao Fang's apology, Shen Yuan not only did not calm down, but became even angrier. In a rage, she raised her hand and wanted to slap Xiao Fang.

He was just a lowly worker, and he dared to refute her words?! She should have humbly knelt down and begged for forgiveness!

Before Shen Yuan could slap someone, her wrist was tightly grasped by someone. She struggled hard, but the hand was like a pair of iron clamps and did not move at all.

Shen Yuan turned around and saw a bright face with a hint of coldness appear in front of him, staring at him without blinking.

The pair of bottomless black eyes stared at Shen Yuan, making her feel uneasy.

"Mrs. Chen, you're hitting someone in public for such a small matter... isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Xu Yiyu turned his gaze to Xiao Fang and gestured to her in the direction of the front desk. Xiaofang immediately understood, looked at Xu Yiyu gratefully, and quickly ran towards the front desk, escaping from this place of trouble.

"Who are you to dare to meddle in my business? It is my freedom to scold or beat people, and it is not your turn to intervene!"

Shen Yuan was humiliated, and some unknown string in his head broke, and he actually yelled at Xu Yiyu without thinking.

What's the point of this bright-looking woman being so beautiful? She's destined to work for others! She looks like a foxy woman, and maybe she's been sexually exploited by her superiors. Why is she so proud?

"Mrs. Chen, there is no need to be so angry. If you are reasonable, then we can talk it out. Once you start... has Mrs. Chen considered the consequences?"

Xu Yiyu let go of Shen Yuan's wrist with a faint smile, and pointed at Shen Yuan's wet skirt.

"Are you sure you don't want to deal with it?"

Shen Yuan looked down at her skirt which was wet in a large area, and her rationality returned a little. However, she felt unwilling in her heart and glared at Xu Yiyu fiercely again.

Xu Yiyu's expression remained unchanged, he just looked at her with a smile.

Shen Yuan took the car keys and went back to the car to get some spare clothes. Xu Yiyu took advantage of these few minutes to go to the front desk and check on Xiao Fang, who still looked frightened.

"Are you okay?" Xu Yiyu asked with concern, motioning her to sit down. "Are you scared?"

"F-okay."

When Xiao Fang saw Xu Yiyu coming over, he felt as if he had taken a tranquilizer and his body stopped shaking.

"I just don't quite understand why..."

"Why does Shen Yuan want to take it out on you, right?"

Xu Yiyu guessed that Xiao Fang would be curious, so he told it directly.

"Was she also in a bad temper when she came to the company before?"

"Yes, but it has never escalated to the point of physical contact."

Xiao Fang nodded in affirmation.

"I don't know what happened to her today..."

"Because she couldn't get angry with Mr. Wu, she had to take it out on you."

Xu Yiyu gave Xiao Fang a soothing look, and his words revealed a convincing power.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Xu Yiyu chatted briefly with Xiao Fang, then got herself a glass of water from the water dispenser and walked back to the rest area. Xiao Fang and his colleagues stared at her back, and they felt inexplicably relieved.

Somehow, they all believed that Shen Yuan would never be able to please Chairman Xu.
