The taxi driver slammed on the brakes, and Xu Chaomu lurched forward!
âDamn, what kind of driver are you, driving like that!â the driver cursed as he spoke.
Xu Chaomu instinctively protected her belly. Thankfully, there was no harm. She took a deep breath and patted her chest, frightened.
âMiss, are you alright?â the driver asked with concern.
âIâm fine, Iâm fine. What happened?â Xu Chaomu looked around.
âAnother blind driver!â the driver swore. âThese days, if youâre blind, donât get on the road!â
The driver looked ahead. A red Audi was blocking their way, showing no sign of yielding!
âBeep beep beep,â the driver honked a few times as a reminder.
The red Audi didnât budge, as if it was glued to the spot.
âDamn it! Whatâs the big idea!â the driver cursed impatiently. âDriving an Audi just to show off, with not a shred of decency!â
The driver was a middle-aged uncle with crude words but sound reasoning.
Xu Chaomu also thought this was too much. Driving so recklessly could have killed someone.
The driver honked again repeatedly, the beeping so piercing that even Xu Chaomu found it grating.
Only then did the Audi in front start to move; its door opened, and a woman in a white dress got out.
The woman wore sunglasses that nearly covered half of her face.
But Xu Chaomu recognized her at a glance. She remembered Nie Chenglangâs mother calling this woman âNana.â
She had only met her once, but Xu Chaomu couldnât forget.
She remembered the womanâs coquettish manner of speaking, her voice particularly soft and smooth, likely unforgettable to anyone who had heard her.
It was clear that she had a very good relationship with Nie Chenglangâs mother, as she would call Nie Chenglang âBrother Chenglang.â
Qi Na got out of her car and walked in her high heels towards the taxi.
Xu Chaomu had no intention of getting out; she just narrowed her eyes and quietly watched her approach.
âSo itâs a woman, whatâs the big deal!â the driver honked at her a few more times, signaling her to hurry up and move her car.
Qi Na had already come out; how could she possibly leave.
As expected, she knocked heavily on the taxiâs window, looking quite unhappy.
Xu Chaomu slowly lowered the window, not planning to get out of the car.
Qi Na was standing on Xu Chaomuâs side. As soon as Xu Chaomu lowered the window halfway, Qi Naâs hand, painted with red nail polish, reached in!
She grabbed Xu Chaomuâs hair!
âYou bitch, get out! Stop pretending, get out here!â
Xu Chaomu had not anticipated how unreasonable Qi Na could be. Her hair was yanked, causing her pain as she hurried to close the window!
âWhat are you doing? Let go!â Xu Chaomu shouted angrily.
Seeing Xu Chaomu being bullied, the driver exited the driverâs seat and rushed out.
He ran to the passenger side, pushed Qi Na away with one hand, his temper flaring up, almost throwing Qi Na to the ground!
âWhat the hell are you doing? I canât stand women like you, blocking the road with your car and still having the nerve? Now youâre even hitting someone; do you think you own the sky?â the driver gripped Qi Naâs arm and flung her aside.
Xu Chaomu was pulled by Qi Na, her scalp tingling with pain.
She winced, clenching her teeth.
This Qi Na, what a thoughtless person, acting so impulsively.
In such a lively place, wasnât she embarrassed to create a spectacle?
Luckily, her long nails hadnât scratched Xu Chaomuâs face, or else it would have been a scene today.
With her face ruined, how could she attend the job interview?
âWho are you calling? What does your problem with that bitch have to do with me?â Qi Na fumed, provoked by the driverâs grip.
âIâm talking about you, reared but never taught!â the driver didnât care. âIn broad daylight, mind your manners! Must be taking stupid pills every day, canât skip a dose!â
Xu Chaomu was amused by the driverâs words and laughed out loud.
She chickened out; she didnât dare to get out of the car.
Not for any other reason than she was carrying a little bun in her belly.
What she wanted to protect the most now was her little bun; she wouldnât let him get hurt in the slightest.
Before she was an adult, she couldnât stand being scolded to her face; sheâd have thrown a punch immediately, especially with such offensive words.
Now, she didnât have that impulse anymore.
And, in her current state, she definitely couldnât beat Qi Na.
âXu Chaomu, come out if you dare, donât shrink back into your car like a turtle! Are you afraid?!â Qi Na yelled loudly.
The driver pushed her again: âWhat are you yelling for? Youâre blocking other peopleâs way, and you still think youâre in the right? Move your car away, and I wonât argue with you!â
âWho are you? Do you know how shameless the woman in your car is? She has a husband and still tries to seduce my boyfriend, got pregnant, and doesnât even know whose seed it is!â Qi Na shouted loudly, stirring up as much chaos as possible.
Her coquettish voice drew a crowd of onlookers. Moreover, people love this kind of gossip, sticking around as if glued to the spot, unwilling to leave.
Xu Chaomu lowered the car window and shouted back at her, âQi Na, youâd better leave! Chenglang canât afford to lose this face.â
âXu Chaomu, if you have the guts, get out and clarify things!â
âI wonât get out of the car. Move yours; I have other things to handle,â Xu Chaomu said.
Pointing at Xu Chaomu, Qi Na said angrily to the onlookers, âSee, this woman, already married, still texting and calling my boyfriend, even saying she wants him to marry her. Now, sheâs pregnant, and probably even she doesnât know who the father is!â
Qi Na became more agitated as she spoke: âHer private life is so chaotic! My boyfriendâs mother canât stand it and forbade her from coming to see my boyfriend, yet she shamelessly keeps in contact with him!â
âXu Chaomu, youâre a mistress, a shameless mistress!â Qi Na was only concerned with cursing to her heartâs content, without any regard for her image.
Xu Chaomu turned a deaf ear and remained quietly seated in the car.
The crowd of onlookers, however, could not contain themselves, and they started to talk among themselves.
The windows were closed, but the words were particularly unpleasant, and Xu Chaomu frowned.
âSheâs a mistressâ¦â
âNowadays, any slightly attractive woman goes off to become a mistress.â
âHow can they think like that? Are they that desperate for money?â
âNowadays for women, youth is the capital, huh? Using a young, pretty face to make a few bucks, then find a husband to marry. Whereâs the loss in that?â
âYeah, and in the end, the husband is kept in the dark, and it takes years after having a baby to do a paternity test to find out.â
âAnd when the test shows itâs not his⦠bam, shocked.â
The crowd laughed loudly; Qi Na stood by, patting her clothes with an air of arrogance.
Xu Chaomu couldnât stand it any longer and finally opened the car door and got out!
As she appeared, the crowd reached a climax, and all eyes were focused on her face!
