Wake up!

Seeing her father arrive, Chen Yanxi's courage grew.

"Dad, you have to stand up for me. Someone bullied me."

Chen Zhenghong pushed through the crowd and came before Chen Yanxi, comforting her, "Don't worry, Xiao Xi. With Dad here, no one dares bully you."

As he spoke, he glanced at the expressionless Sun Jingcheng standing nearby. Although he didn't know what had happened, based on his understanding of Sun Jingcheng, the other was his daughter's simp, who was even respectful and submissive to him.

The kind who wouldn't talk back when scolded or fight back when hit.

"Jingcheng, what's going on? You didn't even stand up for Xiao Xi when she was bullied. How can I trust you with Xiao Xi if you're like this? Hurry up and vent her anger."

Hearing this, Wang Shaojun was somewhat stunned. It seemed this Young Master Sun was indeed a simp, allowing the father and daughter to bully him.

In front of so many people, he was given no face at all. From Chen Zhenghong's tone, it sounded like he was commanding a dog.

Seeing this, the surrounding people's gazes shifted between Chen Zhenghong and Sun Jingcheng.

"Sigh, who knows what kind of love potion Chen Yanxi fed Young Master Sun to turn him into this state, to the point where even Chen Zhenghong doesn't take him seriously anymore and even dares to speak to Young Master Sun in a commanding tone."

"Exactly. Now it seems Chen Yanxi really isn't a simple woman. We'll have to keep our eyes open in the future and never find a woman like her, or we might die without knowing how."

"Logically, even if Young Master Sun is bewitched, there's still Chairman Sun. Wouldn't he intervene? Isn't this embarrassing the Sun Family?"

"Heh, you might not know, but Chairman Sun dotes on his son a lot. He might be turning a blind eye right now."

Faced with the surrounding discussions, Sun Jingcheng's expression grew increasingly gloomy. He suddenly realized what he had been doing this past year.

The dignified Young Master of the Sun Family had been following behind a woman like a dog, and most importantly, the other didn't even appreciate it.

Just thinking about it made him want to slap himself. With his status, what woman couldn't he have? Yet he had been played like a dog by a woman.

Seeing Sun Jingcheng remain unmoved, Chen Zhenghong reminded him again, "Jingcheng, didn't you hear what I said? If you keep this up, I'll have Xiao Xi ignore you from now on."

"That's right. Hurry up and vent my anger, or don't come looking for me ever again."

Chen Yanxi chimed in.

However, to everyone's surprise, Sun Jingcheng walked straight up to the father and daughter.

Just as everyone thought Sun Jingcheng would apologize, who would have thought he would raise his hand and slap Chen Zhenghong.

The sound of *slap* plunged the entire venue into silence.

The expressions on everyone's faces were as if they had seen a ghost. What had they just witnessed?

Was this still the Sun Jingcheng they knew? He actually hit Chen Zhenghong.

Ignoring everyone's expressions, Sun Jingcheng stared coldly at Chen Zhenghong with his eyes. "Old thing, if you dare speak to me in that tone again, I'll make sure the Chen Family regrets it."

Chen Zhenghong covered his face, his mind going blank. It felt like a dream, but the pain on his face told him it wasn't.

How dare this kid hit him? Didn't he want to win his daughter's favor anymore?

Chen Yanxi's expression was the same, unable to believe her eyes.

Impossible. This must be fake. He was her dog. How could he dare speak to her father like that?

Fake. It must be fake.

"Sun Jingcheng, you dare hit my father? You... don't think I'll forgive you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Sun Jingcheng's hand raised high, not giving her a chance to react.

*Slap*

A slap landed on her face, knocking her to the ground. The five finger marks were clearly visible, showing Sun Jingcheng hadn't held back at all.

"Forgive you? Who do you think you are? I'm telling you, your nightmare is just beginning. You're so good at pretending, right? I'll find dozens of men for you later and see how you keep pretending."

As if that wasn't enough, he slapped her other cheek.

Then he turned to look at Chen Zhenghong, pointing fiercely at him. "And you, old man, better prepare your coffin early."

Hearing this, Chen Zhenghong snapped back to reality, anger surging on his face. "Sun Jingcheng, who do you think you are? A second-generation heir. Where do you get the courage to speak to me like this? Don't think the Chen Family is afraid of you."

"His courage comes from me. What, you have a problem with that?"

Suddenly, a deep voice came from outside. Just from the tone, one could tell the speaker was suppressing his anger.

Hearing this familiar voice, everyone was moved.

Because the newcomer was none other than Sun Jingcheng's father.

Chen Zhenghong's heart skipped a beat. The reason he dared speak to Sun Jingcheng like that earlier was because Sun Yian wasn't here.

Seeing his father arrive, Sun Jingcheng showed a look of shame on his face. "Father, I'm sorry. I... have disappointed you."

Sun Yian looked at the ashamed expression on his son's face and suddenly laughed heartily. "Hahaha, no, you haven't disappointed me. If you had continued to be deluded, that would have disappointed me.

Do you know why I didn't wake you up earlier? Instead, I let you continue. Did you think I didn't know what this woman was doing?

No, that's not it. It's because your grandfather was at a critical juncture, and I didn't want the Chen Family to stir up trouble at this moment. Now, your grandfather has successfully been elected."

Hearing this, Sun Jingcheng's face lit up with joy. Grandfather was elected successfully?

He had heard his grandfather mention this election before—it was for the position of speaker of parliament.

If it failed, the Sun Family might fall a class. If it succeeded, Sun Jingcheng could basically walk sideways in Singapore.

Most importantly, he was the Sun Family's only heir. Whoever dared touch him would be touching the entire Sun Family.

"That's great! Grandfather succeeded!"

Now, he was so happy he could dance. With his grandfather in place, the Sun Family would surely become a top-tier family in Singapore.

Even... that position could be planned for.

How could this not excite him? At this moment, the Chen Family was nothing but garbage. That bitch Chen Yanxi dared play me for a year. I'll make her suffer a year's worth of humiliation.

Although Chen Zhenghong didn't know about the Sun Family's election news—after all, his focus had always been on Sun Jingcheng—he understood the meaning behind Sun Yian's words.

And because he understood, he knew the Chen Family was finished.

"Xiao Xi, hurry, go beg Young Master Sun. Ask him to forgive you. Even if you can't be his girlfriend, being his dog is fine. As long as he doesn't make things difficult for the Chen Family."

"Father, what are you saying? You go if you want. Me, be his dog? Impossible."

*Slap*

As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped again, but this time not by Sun Jingcheng—it was by Chen Zhenghong.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Didn't you hear what Sun Yian just said? Old Master Sun has entered Parliament. Do you want to plunge the Chen Family into eternal ruin? What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go. If we don't get his forgiveness, we're finished."

Hearing the word "Parliament," Chen Yanxi suddenly woke up.
