Wen Qian nodded lightly, revealing no hint of emotion, as if she were listening to something entirely mundane. "Is there anything else?"
Seeing that Chi Xuecha remained motionless, Wen Qian attempted to walk past her, only to be abruptly grabbed by the arm.
Chi Xuecha looked at Wen Qian in disbelief. "Why aren’t you angry? Why aren’t you furious?"
"Why should I be angry?"
"How can you not be angry? That watch was bought for you because Lu Zheng listened to me! Did you hear that clearly?"
Chi Xuecha shouted in a frenzy, her eyes reddening as she stared intently at Wen Qian.
Wen Qian chuckled softly, raising her wrist adorned with the watch and twirling it in front of her. After admiring it for a moment, she said, "Well, although you’re not much to look at, your taste isn’t bad."
"And Lu Zheng only bought me the watch. As long as he hasn’t given money to someone else, I really don’t care. What does it matter what you say?"
Chi Xuecha tightened her grip on Wen Qian’s hand, her voice trembling as she muttered to herself, "No, no! You should be furious and hit me!"
Her grip grew stronger, and Wen Qian frowned slightly, catching the words that slipped from Chi Xuecha's lips.
With a swift motion, she broke free and seized Chi Xuecha's wrist instead, twisting her arm forcefully.
Chi Xuecha winced in pain, gritting her teeth as Wen Qian set the basket down and leaned closer to her face.
With only a fist's distance between them, Wen Qian looked at her with disdain and sneered, "Chi Xuecha, your tactics are pathetic. You think provoking me will make me hit you?"
Chi Xuecha instinctively recoiled in fear, unable to meet Wen Qian's gaze. When their eyes had met just moments before, she felt as if her breath had been stolen by the darkness in Wen Qian's pupils. She gasped for air, too frightened to look up.
"I-I didn’t! You’re slandering me!"
Wen Qian feigned indifference as she tightened her grip without hesitation.
Soon enough, Chi Xuecha was in agony, her face flushing red. She cursed Wen Qian vehemently, "You bitch! Let go of me! Do you believe I’ll tell my dad? You’ll be begging for my forgiveness then!"
Her insults grew more vulgar by the second until she suddenly shifted targets. "Bitch! Even your son is a little bastard! Let go of me now!"
Wen Qian’s eyes darkened as she scanned the surroundings and decided it was time. Without hesitation, she raised her hand and slapped Chi Xuecha hard across the face.
Chi Xuecha nearly stumbled from the force of the blow; had it not been for Wen Qian’s other hand gripping her tightly, she might have fallen to the ground in embarrassment.
Wen Qian wasted no time delivering another slap to the other side of her face.
Perfectly symmetrical!
Wen Qian approached her, saying, "If you keep cursing, I won’t hesitate to give you a few more slaps!"
Chi Xuecha looked at her in fear, but she could hear the commotion around them, realizing that people were watching. Tears streamed down her face as she gazed at Wen Qian, her cheeks swollen and red. With a pleading tone, she said, "Wen Qian, I don’t know what I did to provoke you. Why are you hitting me? You slapped me hard twice; how can you be so cruel?"
After speaking, she leaned slightly closer to Wen Qian and lowered her voice with venomous intent, "You’re nothing but a shameless woman, and your son is a worthless brat. Am I wrong? If you disagree, go ahead and hit me again!"
Wen Qian pretended not to understand Chi Xuecha’s taunts meant to provoke her. Angered, she struck harder, causing Chi Xuecha to raise her voice even more. It was as if she was deliberately trying to attract attention, shouting louder.
Seeing that Chi Xuecha was enjoying the scene, Wen Qian held nothing back and let her voice ring out even more. She slapped Chi Xuecha’s face again with force. Watching the smug smile on Chi Xuecha's lips made Wen Qian smirk in satisfaction as well.
Sure enough, when Chi Xuecha noticed Wen Qian's expression, her face stiffened in confusion as she asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Wen Qian leaned in closer and whispered in her ear, "I’m laughing at how foolish you are!"
Now that things had escalated beyond repair, there was no turning back for Chi Xuecha; she gritted her teeth and continued to shout. "Sister-in-law, I only spoke a few words with Brother Lu! I know you're angry about the watch; can’t I apologize?"
"I’ll give you my watch if that helps," she added desperately.
Tears flowed uncontrollably down Chi Xuecha’s face as she looked at Wen Qian with a pitiful gaze. Her loud cries attracted attention; those who could come out gathered around them.
When they saw the marks of the slaps on Chi Xuecha's face, they couldn’t help but gasp in shock. "Oh my! How could this new bride from the Lu family be so ruthless?"
Some had already witnessed Wen Qian's fierceness before; others who hadn’t seen it were now frowning in disbelief. A few even touched their own faces in fear.
The onlookers weren’t familiar with Wen Qian but knew Chi Xuecha well. Driven by curiosity, they asked her, "Xue, what happened?"
The question played right into Chi Xuecha’s hands. With a pitiful look directed at the women, she replied in a soft tone, "Sister-in-law, I don’t know what I said that upset Wen Qian; she just slapped me a few times. It’s nothing really; I can handle a little suffering."
She turned slightly to deliberately show her bruised face and the arm that Wen Qian had twisted.
Sister-in-law seemed momentarily stunned by the contrast of the situation, still feeling a pang of sympathy for Chi Xuecha as she witnessed her being beaten. Perhaps she also wanted to curry favor with Captain Chi.
She was the first to step forward and accuse Wen Qian, "Wen Qian, how could you do this? Who hasn't said something wrong at some point? Why can't you be a little more magnanimous?"
"Look at what you've done to Xuecha's face! You nearly twisted her arm off! Let go quickly, or when Captain Chi arrives, you won't be able to escape!"
As she spoke, the woman attempted to pry Wen Qian's hands away.
Wen Qian seized the opportunity; as the woman lunged at her, she released her grip and discreetly nudged her with her other hand. The woman immediately toppled toward Chi Xuecha.
The two of them fell to the ground in a heap, like a stack of tumbling blocks.
Chi Xuecha was momentarily caught off guard, her arm pinned painfully beneath her body, with a woman pressing down on top of her.
A sharp sound rang out, followed by a piercing scream.
"Ah!"
Everyone turned to look at Chi Xuecha lying on the ground, her face flushed with pain and contorted in agony as she cursed loudly.
"Get up already! Are you stupid? You're like a pig! Stop crushing me and get up!"
The woman had long been frightened into silence; Chi Xuecha's cries failed to rouse her.
With great effort, Chi Xuecha used her free arm to slap the woman's face hard. "Are you dead? Hurry up and get off me!"
