Chapter 437 - 437: Really Busy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Fragrance of Flower was a chain store in Yun City. Xue Mei’s best friend happened to be the manager of that main store.

Lin Wan was really reluctant to go, but Xue Mei pleaded with her. Lin Wan could see that she was about to kneel and beg, so she reluctantly agreed but insisted on just taking a look and then leaving because her stepsons still needed to review their schoolwork.

There were no available stores opposite the flower shop, but there was a rental notice on the next floor.

‘Is this a coincidence?’ Lin Wan found it hard to believe.

Xue Mei deliberately went into the Fragrance of Flower shop.

Her friend, Cai Yun, who was still unaware that Xue Mei knew everything about the affair, greeted her warmly.

“Meimei, what are you doing here?”

Lin Wan sat in the car and was unsure whether to get out or not. At the flower shop entrance, Mrs. Zhou had already made her move.

Xue Mei had told herself to remain calm, but when she saw Cai Yun’s face, all her restraint vanished. She lost her cool.

Cai Yun was stunned by the sudden slap. It took her a while to gather herself.

Xue Mei acted swiftly and knocked over flowerpots outside the shop. She left a mess that attracted a crowd of onlookers.

Lin Wan and Fang Ru saw that the situation was getting out of hand. They got out of the car and tried to pull Mrs. Zhou away from the crowd.

Xue Mei’s voice grew louder. “Everyone, come and take a look at this brazen woman. She is shameless that she dares to seduce her own best friend’s husband! Even animals aren’t so shitty.”

Only then did Cai Yun realize that her affair with Xue Mei’s husband had been exposed. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She covered her face and tried to retreat into the flower shop, but Xue Mei blocked her way.

“Afraid to show your face? Want to hide inside after doing something like that? You should have thought about that before you slept with my husband. It’s too late now! Everyone, take a good look at this woman and her shop and never visit it ever again! She might steal your husband too if you visit the store with him,” said Xue Mei.

The crowd started pointing and whispering.

It turned out that mistresses were despised by everyone.

“I want to open my business right here and see if this mistress’ business still stays afloat!” said Xue Mei.

The crowd expressed their support. If hitting people weren’t illegal, they would have pounced on Cai Yun.

In this era of widespread internet use, any small incident would cause an uproar online.

Lin Wan had tried her best to hide her face, but sharp-eyed people still recognized her.

Li Yanchen received a message saying that Lin Wan was being harassed.

Attached to the message was a photo of a group of people, who were pushing Lin Wan to the side.

He lost his cool. He quickly called and found out that the photo was taken at the main Fragrance of Flower store in Yun City. He called Lin Wan, but she didn’t pick up.

He rushed to his car without bothering to put on his coat.

Lin Wan had no choice but to watch as the slender Mrs. Zhou displayed such great strength. She single-handedly wreaked havoc on the entire flower shop, and the crowd of onlookers encouraged her.

She wondered if this was illegal.

After a while, the police arrived and calmed everyone.

Back in the car, Lin Wan’s heart was pounding.

Why did she come here today? She had witnessed a big fight.

Lin Wan decided to go home. She hadn’t started the car yet when her phone rang.

“Wanwan, are you okay?” Li Yanchen asked anxiously.

Lin Wan sighed wearily. “I’m fine.”

“I’m at the building where the Fragrance of Flower store is. I’m parking now and will be there soon.”

“Huh? How did you know?”

She was not far from the flower shop, and the bright red color of her car was conspicuous. Li Yanchen recognized it at a glance.

He knocked on his wife’s car door. When she opened the door, he got in. He checked to make sure she wasn’t injured anywhere. ‘Wanwan, what happened?”

Lin Wan took off her scarf and hat and explained the situation.

Finally, Li Yanchen’s felt at ease.

“Your phone was busy. I was scared to death. I thought you had a conflict with someone while buying flowers,” Li Yanchen said.

Lin Wan held his arm. “I’m a civilized person. I don’t fight with people. But how did you know I was here?”

“It’s on the news. Someone sent me a message,” Li Yanchen said.

“Huh? Even dressed like this, I was recognized?” Lin Wan covered her mouth in surprise.

“Netizens are like Sherlock Holmes when it comes to their favorite celebrities, but it’s alright. They think you were trying to stop the fight. Everyone is praising you,” said Li Yanchen.

Lin Wan was deep in thought.

Li Yanchen held her hand. “Are you thinking about Mrs. Zhou?”

She nodded.

“Was I being a busybody? I really didn’t want to interfere. I was dragged into this,” she said.

“I know. It shows that my wife is getting more and more used to this world.” Li Yanchen smiled. “You did well, though. You advised her objectively.”

“Let me ask you this… If you were Mr. Zhou, would you cut ties with the mistress or have a worse relationship with your wife?” Lin Wan asked.

“I would never do something like that,” said Li Yanchen at once.

“I know. It’s just a hypothetical question. What would you do?”

“It varies from person to person. Some husbands might listen to their wives after a confrontation, while others might worsen the situation. If it were me, I would definitely not let my wife be unhappy.” Li Yanchen looked at Lin Wan.

“But things are easier said than done. We can speculate rationally, but we don’t Imow what we might do when it happens for real. Even someone like Mrs. Zhou, who is always calm and composed, lost her cool when faced with a reality like that.”

“Yes… I wish people wouldn’t cheat. By the way, Mr. Li, if there ever comes a

day when you don’t love me anymore, please just tell me honestly. I won’t force you to stay, but you shouldn’t tie me down in a dead relationship when you secretly love someone else either.”

“There won’t ever be such a day.” Li Yanchen promised. “Let’s switch seats. I’ll drive you home. I can have Assistant Qin pick up my car later.”

It was just 3 in the afternoon. Li Yanchen watched Lin Wan walk into the courtyard before heading to the company.

In the new group created by Mrs. Zhou, there were suddenly hundreds of messages.

The other wives in the group were commenting enthusiastically.

[Meimei, you did great today!]

[I think it’s not enough. You should have scratched her face!]

[I was called in for a conversation with the authorities. I admit I was impulsive.

I should have handled it better, but I have no regrets.]

[A smashing would have been satisfying too. Hey, if it wasn’t for today’s news, we wouldn’t have known that you and Mr. Zhou had come to this point.]

A few other ladies felt that their own family problems were nothing compared to this.

Just as Xue Mei felt triumphant after the fight, her husband called. “Xue Mei, let’s get a divorce tomorrow.”

Xue Mei had been hesitating on whether to stay or leave. She didn’t expect that she wouldn’t even be given a choice. Zhou Zhi, the scumbag of a man, had taken away her right to ask for a divorce.

She was angry and hurt. She didn’t reply to the group chat no matter how many messages came..
