Most of those standing around were married women and they hated nothing more than fox demons who seduced other peopleâs husbands. Seeing how Le still managed to sound so righteous, they started condemning her. âShameless! Fox demon!â
âHow am I shameless? Itâs her own fault that she isnât better.â
âWhy bother still having clothes on if you are that shameless?â A woman standing next to Le straight up ripped the jacket from her, made a loud spitting sound, and said, âPeople like you should be paraded naked.â
âGive it back to me! Give it back!â Le shrieked.
If anyone might still think that woman was too ruthless at first, now they all thought Le was only getting what she deserved.
Le wanted to run, but the woman had brought quite a few people with her. They guarded around her, making sure that sheâd have no chance to run away. She curled up on the ground and kept on shrieking.
Shu Yan let out a hrmph. When she looked up, she noticed that the woman was already gone. She left as abruptly as she came.
Now that the show was over, Shu Yan had the excited Zhang Huaxiu and Yingying return to work.
âI canât believe how shameless that Le was. How did she sound so righteous being a homewrecker.â Yingying blushed again when she recalled the quick glance that she had at the picture and made a loud spitting sound. âThe wife was pretty and elegant. And she is from a wealthy family. Neither Leâs look nor body measures up to her. With such a pretty wife at home, what is wrong with the man whoâd want to look for a woman who is worse than his wife in every way?â
âWomen outside are sl*ttier. There is no such thing as a good man.â Zhang Huaxiu suddenly worried about getting married. What if her husband has a woman outside of the marriage? What would she do then?
Chen Fei, who had just walked in, heard that last sentence that Zhang Huaxiu said. Stunned, he looked over at Shu Yan, having no idea what had just happened.
âWe are talking about the owner next door. Apparently, she is a homewrecker. Her loverâs wife came today, ripped all of her clothes off, and tossed her into the street.â
Chen Fei had noticed the crowd on his way over, but not being someone with strong curiosity, he merely walked around the crowd and walked inside. He did not see what was going on.
His timing couldnât have been worse. After such a scene, any woman would have been left with a bad taste in her mouth; especially someone like Zhang Huaxiu who had some resistance toward getting married to begin with. Chen Fei understood right away.
âThe problem lies with the man. If he doesnât have the intention, it doesnât matter what kind of beautiful women try to seduce him.â
âGlad you understand that.â Shu Yan looked at Chen Fei. Oneâs mind was oneâs mind. Nobody could read someone elseâs mind. Take Zhang Baizong for example. He was able to have a pretty, elegant, and wealthy girl marry him. She possesses good looks and education. And then what? He was more interested in wild flowers that do not measure up to the one at home.
Chen Fei looked at Zhang Huaxiu and said to her, âMy family is a bit different. My mother was picked by my grandmother. My parents were never that close in their marriage. Rather, my father was never that nice to my mother. I have always seen my mother crying behind my fatherâs back when I was a child. My father brought in a new woman shortly after my mother passed away. It was quite a shock to me. And I have always thought that I would not just marry someone just because. Iâd rather remain single unless I run into someone I like. Thatâs no reason to make someone else miserable. But, if I have the opportunity to run into someone I like and I can be with her, I will do my best to be nice to her and grow old with her.â
Zhang Huaxiu, with her head lowered, curled her lips upward.
Shu Yan could tell that she had been convinced. Shu Yan shook her head. Women! They accused men of saying sweet nothing on one hand, but love hearing sweet nothing on the other. That being said, Chen Fei did look like one who was sincere and responsible. And sheâd be the only one who could say how easy it was to get along with him. People could change and nobody could predict the future. Perhaps Zhang Huaxiu would be the one who had a change of heart in the future. Whoâd know?
