Chapter 239: The Greatest Threat (1)
"Mi-Miss Shen…" Zhang Beiyu stammered out. In spite of that, she reacted quickly and came to her senses after a brief moment of shock. There were tears in her eyes as she shot a distressed look at Shen Jingbin, easily making herself look as pitiful as she wanted to be.
Those who didn't know any better would most likely think that Shen Jingbin was using her status to bully Zhang Beiyu. And, it just so happened that the man standing next to Zhang Beiyu was of the same opinion.
"You're Miss Shen, right? I don't know what misunderstanding exists between you and Xiao Yu, but no one can choose which family they're born into. Just because you were lucky enough to be born into a good family, it doesn't mean you have the right to look down on others. Everyone has the right to be respected! I feel that you should apologise for your behaviour earlier, as you've harmed the self-esteem of a woman who had good intentions."
The man then proceeded to go on and on about feel-good stuff, similar to the types of things you'd see in Chicken Soup for the Soul. When he finished, the man seemed to think that he'd performed an act of great goodness, having saved the wounded self-esteem of a princess and condemned an arrogant and conceited woman from a wealthy family. A look of immense self-satisfaction appeared on his face as he gazed at Shen Jingbin with swollen eyes. It was as though he was seeing this beautiful woman who'd gone overboard apologise to them the next moment with a guilt-ridden face.
But, he didn't notice how vulgar his gaze was perceived as he viewed Shen Jingbin.
Shen Jingbin took in everything she saw and felt an overwhelming sense of disgust.
She hated men who thought they were the only ones who could truly see the world for what it was. But in reality, people like these were duller than anyone else. Without knowing it, they'd foolishly end up becoming a tool for others at the drop of a hat. Even then, they'd still think that they were the savior of humanity. The individual standing in front of her who was wearing an extremely dignified look on his face was the best example of such people.
The etiquette that was instilled in Shen Jingbin by her upbringing was never meant for hypocrites and b.i.t.c.hes. So, she rudely mocked them by saying, "Sir, I recommend you to see a psychologist since you're still suffering from chuunibyou.
even at this age. Please be a little more aware of the situation and get your facts in order before trying to stick up for other people. This young lady beside you was the one who came looking for trouble, yet you want me to apologise? Did a dog eat up your brain and common sense?"
