139 The reaction
Tuesday, continued...
The foyer area of the theatre could went deathly silent, after seeing Yang Lin slap and Lu Jinhu punch Anna.Everyone focused on the two couples to see what Hou Yi\'s reaction would be.
Hou Yi immediately pulled his wife to him, cradling her in his arms, whispering "I am so sorry sweetheart.I should have stopped them, but it will be alright," and wiping away Anna\'s tears.He knew he had failed Anna by not preventing either of Lu Jinhu or Yang Lin hurting her.He cursed himself for telling the bodyguards to wait outside not thinking that they would do something in such a public way.
Everyone looking at Hou Yi knew from look on his face he was ready to kill both of them for daring to hurt and humiliate his wife in such a public way.They observed him, wondering what revenge he would extract, and how he would protect his wife.Anna, however could not see the look in Hou Yi\'s eyes as she had buried her face in her husband\'s chest.
Du AnLing and Leng Xi, who had just walking in and saw the assault rushed over pulling Anna from Hou Yi\'s arms, and moving her to a safe area, keeping their bodies between Anna and Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin so she could not be hurt again.They noticed a few chairs beside a wall, so helped her sit down on one and surrounded her, comforting her the best that they could.
Hou Yi, however remained standing staring at the two.He growled and said "You had no right to lay a hand on my wife.You hate her and hate me for supporting her, but this goes beyond the pale.You realise …"
"I do not give a f**k that she is your wife.She is a b**ch, and a liar, and she deserves to be exposed.Her presence is intolerable to everyone and you have to realise it.She needs to get the f**k away from this city, and out of this country, as she does not belong.You want to support her, well go ahead, it will ruin your business, and I cannot wait, as it means that the company will come to where it should have, under my control at the Lu Corporation."
"Dream on Lu Jinhu.Hou Enterprises is staying where it is, and people will see you for what you are, a manipulative abuser, selfish to the extreme.Everyone has seen what you did, and you think they will stand by you, and allow you to get away with your behaviour, you are fooling yourself.You need to face reality."
Hou Yi paused, and continued growling out "I would so love to pay the two of you back physically, but that makes you a victim.I will not give you that satisfaction, as you are worthless, beneath either of us.You are done socially and in the business field as no one can support an abuser.We will make sure the police deal with this.I am going to make it my mission to see you punished, and we will pursue you in every avenue we can.You will pay, and they way I will make you pay will hurt more than anything I could physically do to you now."
With that Hou Yi turned around and walked away, towards his wife.She needed his support, and for him to respect what was an important part of her life, the law, rather than engaging in retaliative justice.He knew the law would support them, and bringing them down that way, would give great pleasure.
As he was walking to Anna, Hou Yi could hear Yang Lin scream "You b**tard Hou Yi.You know nothing."He decided responding to them, only played into their hands, so ignoring them felt good.
As soon as Hou Yi reached his wife, who was surrounded by his mother, his Aunt and Phillipa who had also come to help her.He went onto his knees before her, taking both her hands in his."Anna, it is alright.You are safe, but I apologise that I did not react quick enough to prevent them from doing that to you."
At Hou Yi\'s words, Anna threw herself into his arms, and while sobbing cried out "Yi, it was not your fault, I cannot cope if you do blame yourself.Just love and hold me, I know in your arms I am safe."
Hou YI simply put his arms around her and kept saying "I will sweetheart, I will.You are safe."
Phillipa lent over and said to Hou YI "You need to go.Stay at home, and I will come and visit the two of you tomorrow.I can see those two are about to explode, and I fear they will be more violent, as they did not get the reaction they were hoping for from you."
Hou Yi lifted his head, looked at Phillipa in the eyes and simply nodded.He bent his head back down and looked at Anna, whispering "We do not need to stay here any longer, lets go."
He stood up, put out his hand and helped Anna standAs soon as she was on her feet, he swept her into his arms and carried her towards the exit.One bodyguard, who has heard a commotion inside had come in and seen Hou Yi carrying Anna and urgently notified the others to bring the car up.With the look on Hou Yi\'s face, he realised they had failed to see any risks tonight and Madam Hou had gotten injured.
As the car pulled up Hou Yi carefully placed Anna into the car, entering after her.As soon as he was in, all she did was throw herself back into his arms.The door was shut, and the car pulled away taking them home.
