Chapter 1977: Shu Yu Strikes Back with a Slap

"I'm sure you've got the wrong person," Shu Yu said. "You should investigate properly before making accusations."

She was about to leave when Cheng Jiatong became even more furious. "Stop, didn't you hear me? I haven't finished speaking, you wretched woman..."

Seeing Shu Yu walk away, Cheng Jiatong couldn't hold back any longer. She raised her hand to slap Shu Yu's face.

Shu Yu considered herself mature, composed, and not one to engage with spoiled young ladies who clearly had been pampered.

A mere verbal threat didn't bother her.

However, being called a wretched woman and facing physical aggression was crossing the line, and Shu Yu's temper flared.

She raised her hand to block Cheng Jiatong's incoming slap, surprising her. In response, Shu Yu swiftly delivered a resounding slap to Cheng Jiatong's face.

"Smack..."

"Ahh..." Cheng Jiatong was shocked, covering her face in disbelief. She couldn't believe that Shu Yu had dared to hit her, a country bumpkin.

Cheng Jiatong's maid, standing beside her, was also stunned and quickly supported Cheng Jiatong.

Shu Yu's icy gaze remained fixed on her as she said coldly, "You'd better watch your mouth. If I ever hear you insult me again or attempt to harm me, a single slap won't be the extent of it. Being spoiled should have its limits, or you'll end up foolish and wicked."

"You... you..." Cheng Jiatong wanted to continue her tirade, but when she met Shu Yu's cold, piercing gaze, her heart skipped a beat, and fear took over.

Shu Yu couldn't be bothered to look at her anymore and turned to leave.

However, as if she remembered something, she looked back at Cheng Jiatong. "Which family do you come from?"

Cheng Jiatong was momentarily puzzled but then said maliciously, "I am Miss Cheng of the Cheng family. Let me tell you, my uncle is..."

Shu Yu didn't wait for her to finish her threat and simply walked away.

The Cheng family, huh? She wondered why this girl mistook her for someone else. She would ask Jiang Fengshou about it when she got back.

Cheng Jiatong was seething with anger, her face still stinging from the slap. She wanted to curse but, thinking of Shu Yu's methods, she had to swallow her anger and couldn't retaliate.

Once Shu Yu had walked away, Cheng Jiatong suddenly turned around, slapped her maidservant's face, and scolded angrily, "Are you an idiot? I got slapped, and you didn't rush forward to scratch her face. Instead, you hid behind me without even doing anything. Do you want to die?"

"Miss, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I deserve to die."

Cheng Jiatong kicked her maidservant, saying, "Go find out where that wretched woman lives."

"Yes, Miss, I'll catch up and check right away."

Cheng Jiatong watched her maidservant rush away, then stamped her foot in frustration. "I won't let you off the hook; you just wait."

Shu Yu soon entered Fuyuan Street. Liao Shi had chosen a restaurant that wasn't far from Fuyuan Street for the convenience of Tao Shi, so walking was enough.

But just as she was about to turn onto Fuyuan Street, Shu Yu sensed that someone was following her from behind. The tracking skills of the maidservant were quite ordinary.

Shu Yu felt annoyed. Was this never going to end?

She abruptly turned around, not expecting a young child to rush towards her from the side. The child was holding a bamboo tube, which accidentally bumped into her, causing the water and small fish inside to splash all over her.

Shu Yu, "..."

The child watched sadly as the fish he had worked so hard to catch flopped helplessly on the ground, losing its agility due to the lack of water. He burst into tears.
