When Xiao Wangshu brought Xia Yichu to the company, everyone had already left work. The company was quiet, as if no one was there; everyone must have gone to eat, as the company cafeteria was on the third floor.

Xia Yichu didn't go to find Xu Shaoyang and Zheng Leran; instead, she went straight to the restroom to see Zhou Yutian.

"Wang Shu, which restroom is she in?"

Xia Yichu looked at the row of seven or eight toilets. There was no one in the toilets at the moment, and she did not hear Zhou Yutian crying.

"Mr. Xia, please wait here, I'll go take a look."

Pei Shizhou couldn't come in, so he repeatedly told Xiao Wangshu to take good care of Xia Yichu, as the toilet floor was slippery and Pei Shizhou was very worried.

"it is good"

Xiao Wangshu called out to Zhou Yutian while knocking on the toilet doors, but after opening all the toilets, he couldn't find Zhou Yutian.

"Mr. Xia, Yutian isn't in the restroom. What should we do now?"

"Let's go outside first and talk about it then."

Xiao Wangshu nodded and helped Xia Yichu up. Pei Shizhou saw them come out and immediately went forward.

Xia Yichu didn't speak to Pei Shizhou, but turned to Xiao Wangshu anxiously and said, "Wangshu, let's split up and search every corner of the company."

Whether we find them or not, we should all meet here later.

Xia Yichu was extremely anxious. If Zhou Yutian got into trouble at her company, they would be lucky if they weren't retaliated against by the Zhou family, let alone talk about the future.

That Huang Cuiping is a real menace; I'll have to teach her a lesson later.

"it is good"

Just as Xiao Wangshu was about to leave, she saw Zhou Yutian walking over, carrying something in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, munching on the chicken leg as she walked, showing no sign of sadness.

Xia Yichu saw it too; thank goodness the company was saved. Zhou Yutian saw them and happily ran over.

"Wangshu, Yichu, what are you doing outside the restroom?"

After Zhou Yutian finished speaking, what did she think of? She looked at them apologetically. Her face was covered with thick foundation, and she let her hair down to hide the handprint on her face. Her eyes were red and swollen, and it was clear that she had been crying for a long time.

Seeing Xia Yichu staring at her face, she lowered her head guiltily, feeling completely at a loss, and even the chicken leg in her hand no longer tasted good.

"Zhou Yutian hit you. Why did she hit you?"

Xia Yichu's tone was unpleasant, which made Zhou Yutian even more uneasy.

"Yichu, I'm fine."

Zhou Yutian still doesn't understand what she did to offend Huang Cuiping. After Xiao Wangshu was called away by Zheng Leran in the morning, she came to the tea room alone to drink water.

When Huang Cuiping first saw her, she said that she looked like a pig and didn't even take a piss and look at herself in the mirror. She said that she had no face to be a star.

Although Zhou Yutian was very angry, she held back and didn't say anything. She didn't even drink the water and was about to leave when Huang Cuiping, as if she had gone mad, rushed over and slapped her several times while cursing.

When she realized what was happening and tried to resist, Huang Cuiping said that sooner or later she would get her cousin to terminate her contract.

Zhou Yutian immediately deflated and hid in the toilet to cry. She had learned to swallow her anger after being in Hong Kong for several months.

It's no big deal, just a few slaps. As long as it makes her act, a few more slaps won't matter.

In her first role as a passerby, she was slapped twice in just over ten seconds—two real slaps.

She hid in the bathroom for over an hour, slowly convincing herself to calm down before coming out. Then, after searching for Xiao Wangshu but not finding her, she went out to buy some good food. Whenever she was in a bad mood, eating something nice made her happy.

She had always lived a carefree life at home, but after coming to Hong Kong, she experienced the hardships of life. However, she also gained a lot of weight after arriving in Hong Kong.

"Tell me, or I'll go directly to Huang Cuiping and ask her. No, I won't even ask her; if she slaps you a few times, I'll just slap her back."

Zhou Yutian couldn't stop the tears from streaming down her face. She was so moved. Xia Yichu was the first person who had stood up for her since she came to Hong Kong.

"Don't cry, don't cry. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just fight back. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility for you."

Xia Yichu didn't mind that Zhou Yutian was dirty, and hugged her and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Pei Shizhou was completely bewildered. Xia Yichu was being far too gentle with him; she had never been this kind to him.

"Yutian, come here, wipe your tears, don't cry, I'll take you to the bathroom to wash your face."

Xiao Wangshu took out a tissue for her and pulled her out of Xia Yichu's arms. Pei Shizhou's face was terrifying, and Xia Yichu was pregnant. She was worried that Zhou Yutian might accidentally bump into Xia Yichu's stomach.

"it is good"

Zhou Yutian picked up the chicken leg that had fallen to the ground with a pained expression, intending to throw it in the trash later. She then handed the things in her hand to Pei Shizhou, who took them without saying a word.

"Xiao Chu, you can't lay a hand on Huang Cuiping yourself."

Pei Shizhou spoke only after Xiao Wangshu and Zhou Yutian went into the restroom. Based on past experience, he felt that Xia Yichu would definitely start a fight with Huang Cuiping if they met.

"If I don't hit her, do you think I'll let you hit her? I won't swallow this insult that dares to bully my people."

If we don't teach Huang Cuiping a lesson this time, who knows what she might do in the future? A few slaps would be too lenient.

"Xiao Chu, if you keep doing this, I'll have to call your uncle, aunt, and Xing Cheng and have a serious talk with them."

Pei Shizhou knew that only by saying this would Xia Yichu be afraid. Alas, Xia Yichu knew that he couldn't bear to lose his temper with her, and she wouldn't listen to what he said.

"No, Shi Zhou, you're threatening me!"

Xia Yichu stared at him in disbelief; Pei Shizhou had even learned to threaten her.

"Xiao Chu, that's not what I meant. I was worried about you. Can you please stop hitting me? Maybe you can get your revenge after you give birth to the baby."

If the other party were a man, it would be easier to handle; Pei Shizhou could take action and resolve the situation without Xia Yichu even having to say anything.

"No, we can't wait."

With so many months to go, who can guarantee that Huang Cuiping won't cause any trouble during this time?

Xia Yichu felt that if she didn't teach Huang Cuiping a lesson, Huang would take advantage of Zheng Leran and wouldn't stay at the company obediently.

The company really can't do without Zheng Leran now, and Zheng Leran is a decent person.

It's not worth ruining his relationship with Huang Cuiping, but Xia Yichu wants to see how Zheng Leran behaves next. If things really don't work out, then so be it!

"Then let Zhou Yutian get justice herself. You can't be by her side every day anymore. People have to learn to protect themselves."

Pei Shizhou dislikes people who are too weak; people must always stand on their own two feet.

"That's good, but I don't know if Zhou Yutian dares to hit Huang Cuiping."

Xia Yichu is now like a worried mother, worrying herself sick over Zhou Yutian.

"With you backing her up, she doesn't dare to stand up for herself, and you don't need to stand up for her. She'll still be bullied when you're not around."

Pei Shizhou was telling the truth; Zhou Yutian, who was washing her face inside the toilet, also heard what the two of them were saying outside.

At the same time, Xiao Wangshu also told Zhou Yutian about Xia Yichu's pregnancy and saw that Xia Yichu was very worried about her.

Zhou Yutian had nothing to be afraid of. She was pampered by her family and the people around her from childhood to adulthood were mostly well-mannered.

She didn't resort to hitting or verbally abusing anyone. She decided she couldn't let Xia Yichu down; she had to prove herself.

"You're right, but Yutian doesn't look like the type to hit people."
