After the others left, Hou Tian felt as if he had lost all will to live. Did he really think he was invincible?
How dare he covet Brother Chi Zi's woman?
Thinking back on the words he had said earlier, he wished he could slap himself a few times.
Brother Chi Zi had shown him mercy by assigning him to supervise at the construction site. After all, those who had offended Brother Chi Zi in the past had met dire fates—
Just the thought of it sent a chill down Hou Tian's spine, leaving him feeling utterly unsettled.
...
While Hou Tian was filled with regret, Su Mingxian and her companions returned home after checking out the storefronts.
"Sister Xian, I think the shops at the mall are great; they have a high foot traffic, but the rent is a bit steep," Huangpu River said as he attentively poured a cup of tea for Su Mingxian. He continued, "However, the shop next to the school is also good. It may be a bit rundown, but it has a steady stream of customers and can be purchased."
Su Mingxian took a sip of her tea and replied, "I also think the one next to the school is good, but the price—"
To be honest, for a shop in that location, 150,000 was not expensive at all. The problem was that this was all the money she had. If she bought the shop, what would happen to her new house?
Su Mingxian hesitated when suddenly loud curses erupted from outside. "Su Mingxian, you vixen! Come out here!"
Both Su Mingxian and Huangpu River were taken aback by the outburst. Just then, Sister Liu went to open the door and was pushed down to the ground.
"Step aside, I'm looking for that bitch Su Mingxian."
Su Mingxian hurriedly helped the person up, while Huangpu River stood directly in front of them. "Who are you? Watch your mouth; who gave you the right to insult someone?"
The girl glared fiercely and retorted, "Who do you think you are? So what if I curse? It's better than her being a dirty person."
Huangpu River was instantly enraged. "Don't think I won't hit a woman. Try insulting her again, and see what happens! Where did this she-devil come from? With that fiery attitude, it's no wonder no man wants you."
"You—" The girl’s eyes turned red with anger, and she pushed Huangpu River hard. "Shut your mouth! Who do you think you are to say that about me? If it weren't for this vixen, why would Daguo not want me?"
The girl cried louder, pointing at Su Mingxian and shouting, "It's all your fault! You shameless hussy! You've already had two kids, yet you're out here stealing men behind your husband's back. Ugh—what are you doing? Want to hit me? Oh, I get it now. Not only did she seduce Daguo, but you're also one of her lovers, aren't you?"
"Shut up!" Huangpu River was furious. "What’s Wang Daguo to you? He doesn’t deserve her; clearly, Sister Xian's lover is only me—"
Before she could finish, Su Mingxian grabbed her collar from behind with an icy voice. "That's enough; just be quiet."
With that, she tossed the girl aside. Huangpu River looked pitiful, as if she had suffered a great injustice, making Su Mingxian feel a chill run down her spine.
This drama queen is hopeless.
"What are you to Wang Daguo?" Su Mingxian asked coldly.
The girl glared at her fiercely and lifted her chin defiantly. "I’m Wang Daguo's girlfriend."
Wang Daguo was drenched in cold sweat upon learning that his girlfriend had gone to confront Su Mingxian. Without a second thought, he sprinted back from the Food Processing Plant at full speed.
In his haste, he collided with Fang Dahai and Shen Chi, who were searching for someone.
“Sorry, sorry!” he exclaimed as he tried to run past them, but Fang Dahai grabbed him firmly. “Where do you think you're going? You think you can just run off after bumping into someone?”
Wang Daguo was frantic. “Brother, I didn’t mean to! I have something urgent to attend to, really urgent!”
Fang Dahai was unfazed. “Urgent? Can it be more urgent than what we’re dealing with? I just need to ask you something—where does Wang Daguo live?”
“What?”
