Thinking of this, Meng Wanshu immediately squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said anxiously: "Oh, Auntie, look at what has happened!"

"That's what happened. I didn't know how much the gold necklace was going to cost, so I just… casually gave Chengren a hundred and twenty dollars."

"I'll give you the rest of the money right now! Thirty dollars, right? I'll give it to you right now!"

As she spoke, she frantically reached for her pocket.

Seeing this, the people around who were watching the fun began to whisper again.

"What's all this fuss about? It's all for thirty dollars, huh?"

"Meng Wanshu is such a jerk! He owes money and refuses to pay it back, and he's still being stubborn!"

Hearing Meng Wanshu admit so readily that she "owed money", the smile on Zhang Chunxue's face deepened, but that smile was like a poisoned knife, which made Meng Wanshu feel creepy.

"Haha..." Zhang Chunxue laughed softly, her voice full of mockery. "Meng Wanshu, ah Meng Wanshu, I told you you were stupid. I handed you the pole and you just climbed up, right? I was kidding you!"

"My second son never mentioned anything about 120 or 150 yuan to me!"

"What do you mean he bought you a necklace?... I think you two are having an affair, and he bought it for you!"

Meng Wanshu's head buzzed as if it was hit hard by a sledgehammer, and everything went blank in an instant!

She...what did she say?

Cheated on her?

That debt she just mentioned...was all made up by this old hag to scam her?!

“Wow—”

The crowd was completely blown away!

"Oh my god! This old lady is so amazing! She's tricked Meng Wanshu!"

"I told you! This Meng Wanshu tells one lie after another, not a single truth!"

"It turns out he was just acting the whole time, trying to get away with it!"

"Shame on you! You did something wrong and you're still trying to deny it! Now you've been exposed, you deserve it!"

"That's right! Women who destroy other people's families are the worst kind of people!"

Some even pointed directly at Meng Wanshu's nose and cursed: "Bah! Shameless slut! You seduced a married man, and you still have the nerve to cry and act pitiful here!"

"That's right! It's immoral!"

The accusations and insults were like countless needles piercing Meng Wanshu's body, making her feel ashamed.

She knew that she was completely screwed today!

If you keep going like this, you’ll lose your job and your reputation will be ruined!

Thinking quickly, Meng Wanshu rolled her eyes upwards, her body softened, and she fell straight to the ground!

"Oh! Recorder Meng!"

"Recorder Meng fainted!"

The two colleagues at the grain and oil station who were closest to her were quick to act and quickly supported her, preventing her from having close contact with the ground.

"Quick! Pinch the Ren Zhong!"

"Did you get heatstroke?"

"Are you scared?"

The crowd around was in an uproar again. Some were genuinely worried, while others continued to watch the fun without worrying about the consequences.

Zhang Chunxue stood there, watching the scene coldly, with an undisguised sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Pretend! Keep pretending!

She cleared her throat, her voice not loud but clearly heard by everyone: "Since Comrade Meng has fainted and is unconscious, I will retrieve the necklace from her neck for my son."

"After all, my good-for-nothing second son spent 150 yuan of his hard-earned money to buy this!"

As he spoke, Zhang Chunxue took a step forward and walked straight towards Meng Wanshu, who was half-supported by her colleagues, and reached out to untie the gold necklace around her neck.

The cold fingers almost touched the skin on Meng Wanshu's neck!

Meng Wanshu, who had originally "fainted", suddenly had her eyelids twitching violently several times.

Just when Zhang Chunxue's fingers were about to hook the thin chain, Meng Wanshu suddenly opened her eyes, and with no idea where she got the strength from, she raised her hand and pushed hard!

"ah!"

Zhang Chunxue never expected that she would do this. She lost her balance and screamed, then her body crashed straight into the corner of the counter next to her!

The corner of the counter is very sharp. If it hits you hard, a bloody head would be the least you could do!

At this critical moment, a pair of strong hands suddenly reached out from the side and firmly supported Zhang Chunxue's tilted body.

Zhang Chunxue felt a tightness around her waist, and the next moment she fell into a solid embrace. She seemed to smell a faint scent of soap on her nose.

She was still in shock and said subconsciously: "Thank you..."

Before she finished speaking, she turned her head to see which kind-hearted person had lent a hand.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chunxue was completely stunned.

Song Xingzhi?!

How come he is here?

Zhang Chunxue's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and a trace of panic and discomfort flashed across his face.

She quickly stood up from Song Xingzhi's arms, put some distance between them, and the expression on her face quickly returned to its usual toughness.

"Thank you." She added stiffly to Song Xingzhi, then immediately turned her head and directed her firepower again at Meng Wanshu, who had completely "awake".

"Meng Wanshu! You're amazing! Weren't you unconscious just now? You're still quite strong now!"

There was anger and more sarcasm in Zhang Chunxue's voice.

"Since you don't want me to take the necklace back, fine! Then compensate me exactly the 150 yuan my son spent on it!"

Meng Wanshu was so pressed by Zhang Chunxue that she no longer cared about her dignity. She broke free from her colleague's support, put her hands on her hips, and jumped up and down, shouting, "Why? He gave me this necklace! Why should I give you money?"
