Chapter 96 Trying to trick her? Then trick her back!
"I never expected that the daughter-in-law of the Chi family would be so shameless. She has only been married to Chi Yanzhou for a short time, and she couldn't stand the loneliness and had an affair with someone else."
"Well, it's not her fault. She's so young, and she married a man in a vegetative state. Forget about sex, she can't even speak a word. How can a young person accept living like a widow?"
"If she can't hold on, then she shouldn't get married. She's only been married for less than two months and she's already cheating on Chi Yanzhou. Isn't she afraid that the Chi family will find out and not let her off the hook?"
The group discussed it animatedly.
"Chi Yanzhou's wife is having an affair? Who is it?" a soft voice asked.
Hearing this, Zhang Chunhua, who was having a pleasant discussion, subconsciously said, "I heard it was Sun Xiangqian, the director of the city's central hospital. Someone happened to see him when they went to the hospital to get medicine."
"She's really not picky at all. Dean Sun is old enough to be her father, and she still has the heart to eat him. She's really not discerning at all," the soft voice asked again.
"Of course she's not picky! Let me tell you, she... wait, little girl, which family are you from? I've never seen you before?" Zhang Chunhua, who was gossiping, turned her head and saw Xia Yuhuan's smiling face. She was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Oh my, young comrade, you're really handsome. Have you made a promise to someone yet? My son is only twenty-five this year and not married yet. He's serving in the army now and is already a squad leader. He has a bright future ahead of him. Do you want to consider it?" Wang Xiaocao asked, pulling Xia Yuhuan along.
"Come on, your son has such a round face, he'd be an eyesore to young ladies. Girl, let me tell you, my son is wonderful..."
The people who were just gossiping started tearing and shoving each other to promote their own sons.
Xia Yuhuan watched, speechless.
It seems that the habit of middle-aged women to gossip is truly not limited to any particular region.
Whether they are rural aunties or urban aunties, they are all the same when they get together to gossip.
"Aunties, you don't need to argue anymore, I'm already married," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile, interrupting their argument.
The older women sighed with regret upon hearing this.
Xia Yuhuan then asked, "Where did you hear those gossips the aunties were just talking about?"
Knowing that she was already married, the older women were noticeably less enthusiastic than before.
However, the power of gossip was still very strong, and it began to describe things to Xia Yuhuan.
The way they were acting made it seem like they were all there to watch Xia Yuhuan and Sun Xiangqian have sex.
After hearing this, Xia Yuhuan smiled and said, "You described it so vividly, it seems that it is true?"
“Of course it’s true. Would we say it wasn’t true?” Zhang Chunhua retorted.
Xia Yuhuan said, "Auntie, my name is Xia Yuhuan. Does this name sound familiar?"
Zhang Chunhua was taken aback when she heard this, and then she really started thinking about it seriously.
She murmured, "You know what, that name does sound familiar. Where have I heard it before? Where exactly have I heard it?"
Wang Xiaocao, who was standing next to her, reacted even earlier and immediately tugged at her hand: "Shut up, stop talking. She's the Chi family's new daughter-in-law."
It's utterly shameful to cricket someone else's cricket, especially to the person in question, and then to fawn over them!
Zhang Chunhua was stunned upon hearing this, staring at Xia Yuhuan's mouth opening and closing, almost unable to speak.
Xia Yuhuan smiled and didn't seem angry at all. The older women felt awkward for a moment, then tried to find an excuse to leave.
"Aunties, don't go. Let's stay and have a good talk," Xia Yuhuan said softly, making everyone feel awkward.
"Well, Comrade Xia, what we just said was just hearsay, so please don't take it to heart and don't hold it against us," Zhang Chunhua said awkwardly, forcing a smile.
"I don't care. It's just slander and rumors anyway, so why should I care?" Xia Yuhuan asked with a smile.
“I became a disciple of Jiang Zhicheng, the vice president of the military hospital and a junior disciple of Dean Sun. Dean Sun is my senior master. Isn’t it normal for a junior disciple to talk to his senior master?”
"Oh? You've become Dean Jiang's apprentice?"
"Are you a doctor?"
The group was extremely surprised.
Xia Yuhuan nodded, "Yes, if any of you aunties have a headache or fever and feel unwell, you can come to me."
"If I can't see it, I can ask my master for help. If that doesn't work, I still have my senior uncle, right, aunties?"
Although Xia Yuhuan's words were unpleasant to hear, after all, who would curse someone to get sick?
But if you say Xia Yuhuan cursed them to get sick, she didn't actually say that. She spoke so kindly and even offered to help. How could they possibly get angry and offend her?
After all, everyone gets sick sometimes. If you know someone who is a doctor, that's a connection, that's a resource.
Not to mention, according to Xia Yuhuan, one dean is her master and the other dean is her senior master, how could they dare to offend them?
They're too busy trying to get on good terms with Xia Yuhuan.
"So Dean Sun is your senior in the martial arts school. No wonder."
“Those who spread rumors are despicable and their intentions are despicable. They actually said that you have an improper relationship with Dean Sun.”
"That's right. Dean Sun is such a refined and upright person. How could someone spread such rumors against their conscience? They are shameless."
Several middle-aged women began to feel indignant for Xia Yuhuan and Sun Xiangqian, looking as if they would risk their lives to clear their names.
Xia Yuhuan watched, speechless.
She had witnessed firsthand how quickly these people could change their expressions.
These women seem to have forgotten that they were just spreading rumors themselves. Now they know Sun Xiangqian is a refined and upright person? Where were they before!
Xia Yuhuan was speechless inside, but on the surface she frowned, looking as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"I think I know who started the rumor, but I didn't expect him to spread it so outrageously and excessively. Could it be because I saw him with another woman..."
"Never mind, I guess I'm overthinking this. It's just a misunderstanding. Goodbye, aunties, I'll head back now."
Xia Yuhuan said she was going to leave, but was stopped by several middle-aged women.
"Xia, don't go! Tell us what you saw!"
"Exactly, exactly! He's with other women. Who is he?"
Their eyes shone brightly, as if they were determined to get to the bottom of things.
Xia Yuhuan was surrounded by several people, looking rather embarrassed.
In the end, she appeared unable to withstand the relentless questioning from the group and accidentally let slip the truth.
After saying that, she covered her mouth, looking regretful: "Aunties, please don't tell anyone about this, or my dad will think I'm spreading rumors."
“He contacted me yesterday and said that the girl was a relative of his family. He just happened to run into her and talked to her for a bit.”
"They even said that I told my stepmother about it, which caused them to argue."
"If he finds out I let something slip again today, he'll definitely come after me."
Xia Yuhuan looked scared and uneasy, which made the aunties feel a surge of righteous indignation.
He quickly reassured Xia Yuhuan, "Don't worry, Xia, we definitely won't tell anyone."
"That's right, even if someone outside finds out, we will absolutely not drag you into this."
"Xia Jianyong is such a shameless father! He forced you to sever ties with your family, and now he's spreading rumors about you. Isn't he trying to ruin you?!"
Faced with the group's righteous indignation, Xia Yuhuan played the victim for a while, her hesitant manner allowing the group to fill in the blanks with her own imagination, thus completing her tragic story.
They all wished they could rush to the Xia family home and beat up Xia Jianyong to vent their anger for her.
Xia Yuhuan finally managed to finish acting with the group before escaping their encirclement and heading home.
Xia Jianyong, that bastard! She hasn't even caused him any trouble yet, and he's already made a move on her. Since he's so heartless, he shouldn't blame her for being unjust!
Xia Yuhuan hadn't even gotten home when the person in front of her stopped her in her tracks.
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Xia Yuhuan suppressed her smile.
