A Villainess Needs to Have the Ability of a Villainess

Chapter 33: Such a beautiful face

Views:

Wen Yu felt that she might have to confess in advance today that she was in the parking lot.

She had planned how she would shed tears on Valentine's Day, how she would create an atmosphere, and how she would win Jiang Yuhe's sympathy ticket with one blow. She never expected such an accident to happen suddenly.

Is she going to be judged in the parking lot

Or in front of Shen Mingjia

No, you can't collapse in front of a scumbag anywhere!

Wen Yu, you have to hold on tight!

But Wen Yu couldn't explain the current situation, even if she was a god, she couldn't say that she and Shen Mingjia hit it off, and it was even more impossible to say that she didn't know him in front of Shen Mingjia, that would be to hand him a knife to stab herself.

Wen Yu's brain was running rapidly. She had experienced a lot in the Shura field, and her thinking logic was used to this kind of emergency scene.

It only took a second—she held Jiang Yuhe calmly.

This was the only way Wen Yu came up with to save herself.

See tricks and dismantle tricks, and retreat as advance.

Although her movement was very casual, it clearly hinted at Shen Mingjia—

[See who I'm holding? Do you dare to say you know me?]

Wen Yu's sudden intimacy made Jiang Yuhe slightly startled for two seconds, but he just glanced at the slender arms holding his own, and didn't say anything on his face.

The delicate stalemate of the four was broken until Wen Junlong suddenly said "I don't know!"

Wen Junlong's answer was very straightforward: "I happened to meet here, so we asked her by the way, Mr. Jiang, are you in the office, just want to go up and pay a visit."

But Jiang Yuhe is not so easy to fool, "You know her?"

"Of course!" Wen Junlong answered naturally, "Director Liu mentioned it to me."

Earlier, Wen Junlong had heard from Deputy Director Liu that Jiang Yuhe was accompanied by a woman during the re-examination of the actor selection scene, and she seemed to have an unusual status.

It's just that he never expected that this woman was Shen Mingjia's ex-girlfriend.

And he, who just called Jiang Yuhe two hours ago, called this woman a crazy critic.

In other words, he was scolding Jiang Yuhe's woman for being crazy.

Wen Junlong reacted so quickly, he immediately knew that there must be many twists and turns that he didn't know about, of course he would not admit it, not only him, Shen Mingjia must also shut up at this time.

He patted Shen Mingjia on the back to hint, while changing the subject: "But Mr. Jiang, are you going out? If so, Mingjia and I will visit another day."

Jiang Yuhe glanced at Shen Mingjia lightly, "It's not necessary."

Then he whispered to Wen Yu: "Let's go."

Wen Yu blinked obediently: "Oh~"

The two took a few steps arm in arm, before Wen Yu quietly turned her head, raised her eyebrows at Shen Mingjia who hadn't recovered, and made a shush to him with her lips.

It seemed to be silently announcing the end of their battle.

Hurtful, even more insulting.

Wen Junlong looked at Jiang Yuhe's back as he walked away, and then slowly sighed: "Forget it, I can't help you anymore, you can ask for blessings."

After speaking, he drove out of the parking lot alone.

Shen Mingjia stood there dumbfounded, stunned by Wen Yu's expression when she turned her head, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Images of Wen Yu holding Jiang Yuhe's arms kept flashing before his eyes.

Over and over again, from being stunned and surprised, to constantly denying, and finally having to admit what I saw.

He couldn't believe the fact that he was now like the mud trampled on the soles of his feet by Wen Yu's disdain.

Not only did he lose a complete defeat, but he didn't realize how ridiculously he was being played at until this moment.

There was no room for even struggle and resistance.

Jiang Yuhe is such a meticulous person, how could he not be aware of Wen Yu's carefulness.

After the two returned to the car and sat down, he asked, "What did you mean just now?"

Wen Yu blinked and pretended to be stupid, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Yuhe lowered his eyes, and his gaze fell on his arm.

Wen Yu let out an "ah", as if she had just realized it, she immediately let go of her hand.

"It's nothing, I just saw that scumbag star in the parking lot... I couldn't help but started arguing with him. Seeing you coming, I want you to support me."

In theory, Wen Yu did not lie.

"Dispute?" Jiang Yuhe asked subtly, "Didn't you just stare at his advertisement and praise him for being handsome?"

Wen Yu: "..."

Once again, it is confirmed that this man's memory is not generally good.

"How handsome!" Wen Yu completely substituted himself, "I'm blind, he's not even a ten thousandth as handsome as your brother, haven't you read the news, such a scumbag man I can't help but spit out my mouth when I see him , and then he murdered me."

Wen Yu felt aggrieved and emphasized the last two words.

Jiang Yuhe also got it.

Turning his head, "I'm murdering you?"

"That's right." Wen Yu blinked her eyes fragilely, and said sincerely: "It's a good thing you came, so I subconsciously gave you a hug, trying to scare them."

Jiang Yuhe stared at her without speaking.

Wen Yu didn't know what this man meant.

She felt that her logic was quite logical, and even if she confessed on the 14th, she didn't lie a single word today.

Except for concealing the fact that she met Shen Mingjia, every word and every word is the truth!

After a few more seconds of silence, Jiang Yuhe withdrew his gaze and turned around slowly.

Wen Yu understood that this action meant a turning point in the incident.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but there were some subtle fluctuations in her heart.

After a pause, he tentatively asked, "Brother, if one day... I am really bullied by others, will you support me?"

Jiang Yuhe snorted softly, "Who can bully you."

It's a good thing not to take the initiative to bully others if you are full of cleverness.

Wen Yu: "..."

I don't know whether to praise her or hurt her.

Forget it, don't ask.

These are the topics they discussed on Valentine's Day, and now they have to muddle along and have a good day.

Jiang Yuhe went to Sucheng on a business trip the next day.

Because of the chain effect brought about by popular searches, Shen Mingjia's word-of-mouth establishment collapsed like an avalanche. Even if the few remaining fans tried their best to maintain and explain on the Internet, nothing could be saved.

But Wen Yu didn't let him go just because of this.

Jiang Yuhe was not in the capital, she was even more unscrupulous, killing Shen Mingjia frantically.

Wen Yu slightly edited the chat records with the scumbag man during these days, all the key words related to Jiang Yuhe and the company were thickly coded, and then posted it on Weibo again, letting everyone enjoy a wave of Shen Mingjia's how to lick dogs of.

God is still kind to Wen Yu. Although I lost my mobile phone and couldn't find the record of Shen Mingjia licking dogs in the past, but with a different identity, this person still took the initiative to send it to my door.

Sure enough, it is the life of licking the dog.

Now Wen Yu looked at him like a bereaved dog, the kind who couldn't get up after being beaten.

As soon as the chat records exploded, netizens who eat melons became more disgusted with the name Shen Mingjia, and they all resisted and asked such dirty people to quit the entertainment industry.

On the afternoon of the 13th, the day before Jiang Yuhe came back, Wen Yu asked You Xin to go shopping together.

"He's coming back tomorrow, you know, I'm so nervous now, I've never been so nervous before the college entrance examination."

The two sisters walked around the shopping mall with a cup of milk tea in their hands. You Xin started to guide: "What are you afraid of? I've already thought about it for you. Men have two major weaknesses."

Wen Yu immediately pricked up her ears: "What?"

"First, I'm afraid that women will cry." You Xin said, "So when you turn yourself in tomorrow, you must be in a sad, tearful, pitiful state, understand?"

Wen Yu thought for a moment, "Understood, I often use this trick. What's the other one?"

The two just walked to the door of a fashion store at this time.

A very beautiful and sexy black suspender feather skirt was displayed in the window.

You Xin clicked her tongue, "There's another one right there."

Wen Yu followed her gaze, half understanding, "What do you mean?"

"Seduce with beauty, stupid!" You Xin pulled Wen Yu in front of the skirt, "Have you forgotten the black velvet skirt you wore at the last concert? Really, you are so sexy in black, even me A woman would drool when she saw it, let alone a normal man like Mr. Jiang."

"?" Wen Yu felt that something was wrong with You Xin.

"Tomorrow you will dress up according to the style you liked in the past, with long hair curled up, styled, and sexy skirts, when you see him getting angry, immediately take off your coat and show your sexy Suspender skirt, I guarantee that Mr. Jiang will not be angry immediately."

"Why?"

"Because it's hard, there's no time to get angry."

"..."

Good guy, he's an old player from the moment he speaks.

Wen Yu digested it for a while before opening her mouth, "To be honest, did you take a lot of pornographic films without telling me?"

You Xin: "This is common sense, okay? You have to know how to grasp the key point of a man. Is anger the key point? Of course not. Besides, tomorrow is Valentine's Day. This holiday is already very hot. This is the buff God gave you. You It has to be used well.”

Wen Yu suspected that if she really wanted to do what You Xin did, she might not turn herself in at the restaurant tomorrow night.

It was in Jiang Yuhe's bedroom.

She took a sip of milk tea silently, made up some indecent images in her brain, and suddenly felt hot all over her body.

"Forget it, let you go shopping with me, what kind of obscenity are you making up here?"

Wen Yu was about to leave, but You Xin forcibly dragged her into the store, and brushed off the beautiful black dress with a big hand.

"The battle robe that my sister gave you, don't be afraid, go."

Wen Yu: "..."

"But I'm not shopping for myself today."

"Then who will you buy it for?"

Wen Yu told You Xin about Jiang Yuhe accidentally taking away the pair of cufflinks, "Although I have convinced myself that the pair of cufflinks are destined to belong to him, I still want to buy him a new one. Gift."

You Xin nodded and agreed, "That's right, it's very necessary."

So the two came to the men's section on the third floor.

"What would you like to give to an elite man like Mr. Jiang? A lighter? Or a pen, a collar clip...?"

You Xin suggested while watching, but she didn't hear Wen Yu's voice for a long time, and when she looked back, the man was already standing in front of a brand store.

This is a European handmade leather goods brand.

You Xin suddenly realized, "Not bad, not bad, buying a wallet is a good choice."

However, Wen Yu shook her head, "No."

She pointed to the corner of the window, "I want to buy this."

You Xin looked over, then looked at Wen Yu again, paused, and clapped her hands playfully: "Our sister Yu knows how to play, this gift is too much, I already have a picture."

Wen Yu didn't bother to talk to her, and walked into the shop: "I'm not as nasty as you think."

You Xin followed behind with a grin, "Do you know what picture I'm talking about? Oh, you're still blushing, no way, no way, is this really the Wen Yu I know?"

The two were chatting and laughing in the store, and while they were choosing a style, Wen Yu's WeChat suddenly rang.

You Xin joked, "Is that your good brother?"

Wen Yu shook her head, and directly pressed the voice button for You Xin to listen—

"Wen Yu, you fucking, you are a poisonous woman, you deserve bankruptcy for doing so many immoral things!"

"Yuyu, please forgive me, I know I was wrong, don't play with me anymore."

"..." You Xin said in a serious tone after listening, "How long has this symptom lasted?"

Wen Yu also responded cooperatively: "It's been two days."

"Didn't you take him to the hospital?"

"It's too late, it is recommended to bury it in situ."

Puff haha.

Both of them couldn't help laughing.

Shen Mingjia has been like this for the past few days, playing a one-man show on WeChat, sometimes cursing madly, and sometimes wagging his tail and begging Wen Yu for forgiveness, like a patient with intermittent schizophrenia and mania.

You Xin: "Why don't you delete him, doesn't it look disgusting?"

"It's not over yet," Wen Yu calmly said before he got involved with taking money from fans, "When he thinks he's out of breath, I'll hang him up and beat him up every day. Living in fear and being spurned, and then-"

Wen Yu smiled, "Don't you think it's great to admire his impotent and furious look?"

You Xin gave a thumbs up, and then reminded Wen Yu to look at her phone: "Tsk tsk, did you start to get sick again?"

The sound of information prompts came one after another, Wen Yu lowered her eyes—

[When did you get on Jiang Yuhe's thigh?]

[With so many women around Jiang Yuhe, do you really think he is irreplaceable?]

[Don't worry, he will get tired of you soon.]

[I'm waiting for the day you get dumped.]

[You approached him just to get revenge on me, right? He must have slept with him many times in the past three months, right? You really endured humiliation for me? ?]

A series of crazy words are normal operations. Wen Yu didn't want to reply after reading it, but this time Jiang Yuhe was mentioned.

She felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

It's fine to pour dirty water on himself, but it's unbearable to splash it on Jiang Yuhe's head.

Wen Yu thought again and again, took out her phone again and clicked on the dialogue window:

[I bear the burden of humiliation just to see you looking helpless and furious right now?]

After typing this sentence, she clicked it quickly, and was about to spray it back, when she accidentally glanced at it, she suddenly found out in horror that the header ID of this dialogue window turned out to be Jyh.

Wen Yu felt a chill in her heart, as if her brain went numb for an instant, and she lost all consciousness.

She didn't have time to think about how she made such a mistake, only one thought pulled her, hurry up! quick! quick!

quick! withdraw! back!

Wen Yu frantically pressed and long pressed the message, then tapped back tremblingly.

The green information bar disappears instantly.

You Xin saw her suddenly pale face, "What's wrong?"

Wen Yu's voice seemed to be trembling, "Damn, I sent the message to Shen Mingjia to Jiang Yuhe."

"..."

Wen Yu looked nervously at WeChat, "Will he see it? What should I do?"

You Xin pulled her to sit down on the lounge chair in the shopping mall, "It's okay, look, it's three o'clock in the afternoon, according to what you said, Mr. Jiang is on a business trip, so he definitely won't be eating, sleeping and resting at this time, he is so busy, he has a meeting Participating in activities and socializing, do you think that everyone holds their mobile phones in their hands at all times like us?"

After being analyzed by her best friend, Wen Yu's heartbeat slowly subsided from the top of her voice.

Two minutes had passed, and there was no response from Jiang Yuhe, probably because he didn't see it.

Even if you saw it, it should be just a retracted notice.

After a pause, Wen Yu deliberately sent a message to Jiang Yuhe: [Brother, are you busy?]

Waited for a while without reply.

You Xin became more confident: "Look, Mr. Jiang must be busy."

Wen Yu also heaved a sigh of relief, "I was really scared to death just now."

As he spoke, he couldn't resist going back to the window where he had a conversation with Shen Mingjia, and immediately blocked the scumbag.

This person is a scourge, he can harm himself even through the network cable.

At the same time, Sioux City.

"Mr. Jiang," the staff walked to the lounge, "Mr. Liu from Pingcheng Film and Television would like to invite you to take a photo."

Jiang Yuhe nodded, "Okay."

The moment he stood up, he lightly turned off the screen.

The [yuyu withdrew a message] was also hacked, as if it had never appeared.

He had just returned to the lounge from the conference five minutes ago. He wanted to send a message to Wen Yu to ask her what she was doing, but he didn't expect to receive such an inexplicable message from her as soon as he turned on his phone.

But it was withdrawn within ten seconds.

Not long after, another probing word was sent.

How could Jiang Yuhe, a figure in the entertainment circle who was always playing tricks, not smell the weirdness in it. But he was too busy right now, and he was going back tomorrow anyway, so he thought about asking Wen Yu if he was doing something wrong again while he was away.

That night, as if nothing had happened, he made a video call with Wen Yu to check the assignments.

I saw it during the day and didn't mention a word.

The next afternoon, Jiang Yuhe returned from Sucheng.

The original arrival time of the plane was three or four in the afternoon, but unexpectedly the flight was delayed, and it was already five in the afternoon when it actually landed.

Finally, he was in time to have dinner with Wen Yu.

Old He asked: "Boss, do you want to go directly to the restaurant Miss Xiaoyu mentioned? She has already passed."

No matter what, it was the first Valentine's Day for the two of them. Jiang Yuhe didn't want to take the journey all the way to have dinner with Wen Yu, so he said, "Go back first, I'll change my clothes."

"good."

Jiang Yuhe was a little tired, closed his eyes lightly, rubbed his eyebrows and asked Li Bai in the car: "Is there anything going on in the company these two days?"

"There is no company, but there is a bit of excitement in the circle."

"how."

Li Bai said: "Didn't Shen Mingjia, who was almost signed by the company before, cause a lot of scandals? The girl who washed her hair the day before yesterday also leaked their chat records. You were right at the time. This person is really bad. It’s too bad, and now basically every company has banned him.”

Jiang Yuhe hummed, not very interested in this person.

Unexpectedly, Lao He suddenly joined the chat, "Well, this kind of heartless person should be blocked by the entire industry."

Old He is honest and honest, he rarely knows any celebrities, even he said so, Li Bai smiled, "Uncle He, are you eating melons too?"

"What do I eat? This scum cheated Yin Yin out of 100,000 yuan. If it wasn't for Xiao Yu's help to come back to our family, the guy still has no money for surgery."

Li Bai: "..."

Jiang Yuhe also opened his eyes suddenly, for a moment: "She asked for money for you?"

Lao He didn't want to say it at first, but seeing Shen Mingjia's end like this, he felt relieved.

"Boss, Xiaoyu originally told me not to tell you, because I was afraid that you would be distracted by such trivial things because of your busy work, but now that the matter is over, I really can't complain."

It took two minutes for Lao He to help Yin Yin with the money from the family, and Wen Yu helped explain the matter of getting the money back, and finally said angrily:

"Our family Yinyin is really blind and ignorant because she likes this male star. Later, I beat her up and learned from her that she had given Xiaoyu's WeChat to that male star before, and she didn't know Did that scum harass Xiaoyu? Anyway, it must be difficult for Xiaoyu to help me get my money back. Boss, Xiaoyu is really a good girl."

There is no problem with what Lao He said, and it makes sense both before and after.

But breaking it down in a single sentence is a big problem.

Not to mention Jiang Yuhe, even Li Bai could hear something was wrong.

He glanced at Jiang Yuhe from the rearview mirror. The man put his elbows on the center armrest in the back row, and his eyes looked out of the window lightly. After a while, he suddenly asked Li Bai:

"What date did Shen Mingjia's accident happen?"

Li Bai didn't know why Jiang Yuhe asked this question, but he immediately took out his mobile phone and searched: "On the night of February 7th, it was reported that he was taken away by the police in the hotel for the first time."

Jiang Yuhe didn't know what he was doubting, but after hearing Lao He's words, he, who was used to countless routines and conspiracies, felt that everything was not that simple.

number seven.

He quickly remembered that on the 6th and 7th, Wen Yu took two days off in a row.

"Call Yinyin, I have something to ask her." Jiang Yuhe said suddenly.

"Huh? Now?"

Li Bai saw that something was wrong, and immediately signaled Lao He with his eyes, "Hurry up."

Old He pulled over the car in a daze, and dialed the phone to his daughter.

"Yinyin, the boss asked you something, you have to tell the truth."

As he spoke, he handed the phone to Jiang Yuhe.

Jiang Yuhe took it and asked directly: "What did Shen Mingjia say when he asked you for Yuyu's WeChat account?"

Yin Yin's family has kept her account of the matter of chasing stars, and she also regrets that she leaked Wen Yu's WeChat in order to please Shen Mingjia. Thinking that Jiang Yuhe was here to accuse her, Yin Yin immediately said:

"I'm sorry, I'm a star-chasing fool. His assistant said that Shen Mingjia wanted to add Sister Yu, and asked me to help, implying that as long as Shen Mingjia and Sister Yu have a good relationship, I can bring resources, and I will give it in a moment of confusion."

Jiang Yuhe hung up the phone.

After a pause, as if he remembered something, he opened Weibo and found the previous hot search related to Shen Mingjia—

"...the two had a secret conversation for a month after adding it through WeChat, and made an appointment to meet, but who knew that the daughter of the group was actually a shampoo girl."

Jiang Yuhe couldn't tell what was wrong, but his intuition from years of experience told him that there must be something wrong.

He frowned and closed his eyes, and began to search for some fragments in his mind.

The first time Shen Mingjia appeared in his conversation with Wen Yu seemed to be because of the time when someone revealed that he was a fan.

He helped with public relations, but Wen Yu asked him why he wanted to cover up the scumbag.

The second time was the day when she said she would no longer sign a contract with Shen Mingjia, Wen Yu was inexplicably excited.

The third time was the meeting in the parking lot that day.

Suddenly, Wen Yu saw her unexpected expression when she found the cufflinks, Wen Junlong's ex-girlfriend who was biting Shen Mingjia, and yesterday's message that was withdrawn—[I bear the humiliation just to see you are now incompetent and furious] .]

All poured out.

With Jiang Yuhe's super high SQ, when all the clues are suddenly connected together, a terrible possibility has formed in his mind.

The weather outside the window suddenly darkened, the wind picked up, the dark clouds overwhelmed the top, and the air pressure in the car reached a critical point in an instant.

Jiang Yuhe didn't speak for a long time, just looked down at the pair of cufflinks on his wrist, wondering what he was thinking.

The car quickly stopped at the gate of the villa, no one dared to ask more questions, until Jiang Yuhe got off the car, Lao He asked Li Bai worriedly:

"Did I say something wrong just now? Why did the boss suddenly look bad?"

Li Bai shook his head, looking at the suddenly bad weather outside the window: "It might be a real storm this time."

Jiang Yuhe didn't go back to the bedroom to change clothes immediately after arriving home, but went straight to the study.

When all the clues point to an absurd possibility, the only thing Jiang Yuhe wants to do is to immediately confirm the authenticity of this possibility.

Although he hopes that everything is just his own worrying, and that his suspicion is just a dark ghost, but he will never run away from it.

Even though the truth may be unacceptable to him, he will calmly, even indifferently, find out the truth himself.

Jiang Yuhe took out the cell phone that he had hidden away.

Charge it, turn it on, and enter the password.

The screen jumps to the homepage, with Wen Yu's photo in the background.

When turning on the phone for the first time, out of respect for Wen Yu, Jiang Yuhe didn't check all her privacy.

But it's different now.

He desperately needs some evidence to refute himself.

The mobile phone was quietly placed on the table. After a long time passed, Jiang Yuhe tapped the photo album lightly.

The album is basically full of Wen Yu's selfies. His fingers slid up little by little, and stopped after a while.

I froze there.

Even though it was a thumbnail, Jiang Yuhe recognized the couple in the photo at a glance.

In the quiet and dreary study room, Jiang Yuhe couldn't tell for a moment, whether it was the screaming wind outside the window, or the rushing qi and blood deep in his heart that exploded in his ears at this moment.

In an upscale and romantic western restaurant, Wen Yu is looking in the mirror to touch up her makeup.

She wore the black suspender skirt that You Xin gave her today, and let go of her long hair that had been tied up for several months. She went to the store to have a beautiful and gentle big roll, and she completely returned to her appearance before she went bankrupt.

Even before going out, Wen Yu carefully sprayed on the bottle of perfume she treasured.

At this moment of confession like tonight, the perfume should not be too strong, otherwise it will appear that I am not sincere enough and intend to seduce.

So Wen Yu only sprayed a little on the suspender skirt.

The smell is just right, light and faint, and you can smell a little when you get close.

After all, it is the most deadly attraction that seems to have nothing.

If Jiang Yuhe could forgive her after hearing this, then there would be no need for sexy suspenders and perfume.

If you don't forgive, then Wen Yu will go all out. Before he gets angry, she immediately takes off her coat, revealing her sexy little black dress, and then sits on him and cries for two hours before talking.

After the lipstick was finished, the Wen Yu in the mirror was bright and moving tonight, she was the real miss of the Wen family in the past.

She pursed her lips, and just wanted to check the time and ask where Jiang Yuhe was, but her eyes fell on the figure of the man at the door.

Although her heart jumped nervously, Wen Yu immediately waved to him: "Brother, here!"

Jiang Yuhe was still wearing the same clothes when he came back.

With no emotion on his face, he sat down opposite Wen Yu.

Wen Yu simply thought that Jiang Yuhe was tired after returning from a business trip, and obediently handed him the menu, "Brother, what do you want to eat?"

Jiang Yuhe didn't speak.

Just look at Wen Yu like that.

She was beautiful tonight, the kind of beauty I had never seen before.

But when did such a beautiful face start to pay so much attention to himself.

He didn't notice it at all.

Seeing Jiang Yuhe not moving, Wen Yu swiped her hand in front of him, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Jiang Yuhe pushed away the menu she handed over, and said lightly, "Why did you invite me to dinner today?"

"..."

Don't start the topic so early. Wouldn't it be nice to have something to eat before getting to the point

Wen Yu was actually still nervous, but she just pretended to be calm.

"There is no reason, just..." She held up the red wine glass in front of her, pretending to be relaxed, "Today is worth celebrating."

What Wen Yu thought was - it's the holidays, it's normal for everyone to come out to celebrate.

But Jiang Yuhe laughed.

"What are you celebrating?" He leaned against the back of the seat and looked at Wen Yu coldly—

"Celebrating the end of your days of humiliation?"
