Wooing my Bodyguard Wife

When Xue Ning first heard that this woman was Jingwei's fiancee, surprise was her first reaction. He had made no mention of having an ex-fiancee that dumped him, but as Zhou Yu continued to degrade her, all she could think was that Jingwei dodged a missile!

If she was the one engaged to Zhou Yu, she would rather fling herself into the pathway of an incoming truck and be transported to a world with man-eating beasts, than end up shackled to such a shrew and bully of a woman.

"Thanks for your concern," Xue Ning said breezily, "I'll manage. I can see why Jingwei didn't mention you to me - you're simply not important enough to him to warrant an introduction to me."

Zhou Yu gritted her teeth, before smoothing her face into a beatific smile.

"For a bartender, you sound frightfully sure of your place in his life, then let me ask you - have you ever been to his house? Met his family?" Zhou Yu asked condescendingly, a smirk on her face.

Surely Sun Jingwei wouldn't be insane enough to bring this ugly country girl right in front of his brother and father!

Women like her weren't meant to be given status or recognition, the best she could aspire to be was Sun Jingwei's mistress, hidden out of sight and out of mind. Once her body lost its shapely figure, she would be forgotten by him too.

"I don't need to prove anything to you," Xue Ning said, as she watched the makeup artist hover awkwardly, waiting for her to finish talking so that she could begin the makeover. They were already running short of time as it is. Jingwei was more important than this childish brat.

"Believe whatever you want. You'll find out who I am soon enough." Xue Ning said.

Zhou Yu smiled smugly; of course this slut wouldn't be able to defend herself. She flicked her hair proudly and stalked off to another chair, sitting cross-legged, the very epitome of prim and proper behaviour.

"Why are you still helping her?" Zhou Yu demanded. "No makeover can improve such a cheap woman!"

"Kindly refrain from name-calling." Su Yan scolded firmly. "Our establishment has been tasked to help Miss Li, and that's what we will do."

"Hmph," Zhou Yu crossed her arms and let out a haughty sniff. Clearly she wasn't used to people not indulging her whims.

Meanwhile, Xue Ning could only hold still as the makeup artist was putting foundation on her face. Even with Zhou Yu's snide comments, the makeup artist remained professional and undistracted by her irritating presence.

If Xue Ning was the makeup artist, she would have shoved the makeup brush into her mouth to stop her from making noise!

Part of her wanted to continue arguing - she could have easily said that she did meet his family, and they even had breakfast together, and Jingwei even talked about his deceased mother with her, but what was the point?

Immature people like her would only find something else to pick on. Xue Ning had better things to do than entertain childish bitches like her.

True enough, as the room fell silent, Zhou Yu also fell quiet for a moment. She would have felt ashamed, if she wasn't so arrogant.

Xue Ning hadn't bothered to respond to her provocations, which meant that she was effectively trying to hit a cotton ball. The assistants merely made wordless noises and refused to engage her in further conversation, their silence a show of support for Miss Li who helped them deal with Zhou Yu.

However, the other women could not keep silent. Clearly Zhou Yu brought up very good points, this woman was most likely a passing fancy of Sun Jingwei's. In that case, of course they should still continue to side with Zhou Yu, just in case she remembered their lack of support and made things difficult for them in future!

Even if Xue Ning had helped them humble Zhou Yu a bit, they still had to look out for themselves.

As such, the hair and makeup artist had to work with the condescending and judgmental comments levied at Xue Ning.

"You're right, Zhou Yu. There's no way she'll be introduced to Jingwei's family." A voice said.

"Exactly! After all, only someone of your status could reject him! Someone like her isn't worth it."

"No amount of makeup could fix that face of hers," a third voice added.

Xue Ning gripped the armrests of her chair, wanting to rip them off so she could smack them into their faces. But she endured in silence, because they were pressed for time, and she wasn't allowed to haul Zhou Yu to the parking lot to eat her fists.

As her hair was getting tugged and pulled in all directions, she nearly teared up when the makeup artist helped her apply eyeliner and mascara.

"I wonder who her parents are, clearly they can't be good people if they produced a daughter like you, small wonder they didn't leave her under a bridge when they could." Zhou Yu said viciously, smirking as she found another avenue of attack.

Xue Ning stilled. The makeup artist paused, sensing a dangerous aura emitting from her charge.

It was one thing for Zhou Yu to insult her, but to insult her parents?

This meant war.

Xue Ning opened her eyes and turned to look at Zhou Yu.

"Why? Are you mad I spoke the truth?" Zhou Yu said proudly.

"You could have made me cry, if you were an eyeliner instead of a sack of shit." Xue Ning started, speaking quietly. Her lips curled into a smile that showed too much teeth, and Zhou Yu nearly flinched at the venom in her eyes.

"And at least I know my parents wanted to keep me. You? Your parents must be kicking themselves with regret nightly at the fact that your mom didn't get an abortion. I bet they can't believe you came from the victorious sperm."

"You -"

Xue Ning snarled, she wasn't finished. Zhou Yu needed to be reduced into a shriveling wreck of a human being.

"They had one chance at a child, and they got you, a talking waste matter wrapped in mummified skin. It's incredible they didn't 'accidentally' leave you in the wilderness to be eaten by bears, but I guess they didn't want to be sued for sullying nature and poisoning wildlife."
