The commotion wasn't huge, but it still attracted the attention of several people nearby.

Pan Changshu had never been treated like this by a woman before, and a wave of shame and anger rose from the soles of his feet.

This woman is simply asking for trouble.

A few of his cronies saw their leader being bullied, exchanged glances, and rushed over.

"How could you have seen my brother lay a hand on you? Don't think you can slander people just because you're a woman."

"Do you know how many women have fallen for my brother? With your looks, you're nothing compared to him. I bet you're here to snag a rich husband. My brother didn't take a liking to you, so you're getting desperate."

One of them looked her up and down and sneered, "Your face looks unfamiliar. You're not from our school, are you? Where did this poor wretch come from? Show me your student ID, or don't blame us for kicking you out."

A man next to him chuckled, "Second brother, what are you talking to her about? How could she possibly be from our school? I've seen her in the red-light district before. She's a prostitute. She's just here to act all high and mighty."

Upon hearing this, the way the people next to Yang Qingheng looked at her changed, and they started pointing and whispering in her direction.

"I knew it. What kind of woman can't Young Master Pan find? Why would he lay a hand on her?"

Several of the men even looked at Yang Qingheng with mocking eyes, as if she were a commodity waiting to be sold.

Pan Changshu scoffed, "You all really understand me. Not just any woman can climb into my bed, especially not this dirty one. Even if she were stripped naked and thrown in front of me, I wouldn't give her a second glance."

If they can't get what they want, they get angry and spread rumors, and then destroy it.

This wasn't the first time Yang Qingheng had encountered this tactic; she knew the process so well she could recite it from memory, and for a moment she found it amusing.

"Judging from their confident demeanor, this probably isn't their first time visiting the red-light district. I wonder what their teachers would think if they heard about it."

"Does anyone in this school dare to discipline me?" Pan Changshu laughed disdainfully, thinking the person in front of him was just a naive and innocent girl from some remote mountain village.

"Then let's see if I can manage it." A furious shout came from outside the crowd, and Mu Xiaoxiao pushed her way through the crowd and rushed in.

She really didn't expect that she would be approached by shameless people just a short while after separating from Yang Qingheng.

Pan Changshu frowned when he saw her, but his tone became a bit more polite: "Mu Xiaoxiao, don't meddle in things that aren't your business."

"How dare you bully my sister-in-law! I'll see this through today!" Mu Xiaoxiao stood in front of Yang Qingheng, gritting her teeth in anger.

sister in law?

These words caused an uproar at the scene. Even the usually arrogant Pan Changshu changed his expression and broke out in a cold sweat.

He had heard before that Tang Bainian's woman was also at this school, but looking at Yang Qingheng's simple attire, he couldn't make any contact with her. He never expected to run into such a tough opponent.

Although their family has some influence, and after the Tang family elders retired, their family could barely stand on equal footing with the Tang family, but to be precise, their family's foundation was nowhere near as good as the Tang family's.

Moreover, I've heard that Tang Bainian is famously protective of his wife. If this gets back to the Tang family, he'll be in deep trouble.

"I didn't know she was your sister-in-law. I mistook her for someone else." Pan Changshu wisely admitted defeat.

Mu Xiaoxiao wouldn't let her off the hook: "Just because you don't know someone doesn't mean you can bully them! You even spread rumors about my sister-in-law. I'm going to go back and tell my parents today, and I'll make you pay!"

That shameless bastard! Just thinking about what he said about Yang Qingheng made her so angry she felt like her lungs were going to explode. She'd never seen anyone so shameless.

She felt a lingering fear; if her brother found out, he might beat her up.

"You're all talking nonsense! Apologize to them right now!" Pan Changshu shouted at his henchmen.

The family members were not as well off as Pan Changshu, otherwise they wouldn't have fawned over him like that. By now, they were already pale with fright and were obediently apologizing to Yang Qingheng.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Tang, I mistook you for someone else. I have a bad mouth. I apologize."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

A line of people came over to apologize, which was quite a sight.

Yang Qingheng crossed her arms, her expression unwavering, and slowly pulled a voice recorder from her bag: "You're all adults now, you should be responsible for your actions. Today's matter can't be resolved with just an apology. Go home and wait for the lawyer's letter."

“My sister-in-law is right, you’ll be sorry.” Mu Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected Yang Qingheng to be so prescient; her eyes practically sparkled with excitement. She nodded in agreement without thinking.

The henchmen turned pale, filled with regret, wishing they could go back to those half an hour and slap themselves twice.

Pan Changshu felt ashamed and kicked them a few times: "Get lost, you're a disgrace."

They were trying to leave with a few people, hoping to slip through the checkpoint undetected.
