Jiang Yu looked at He Runqing with some resentment. Her eyes were different from before. There was not much joy in reuniting with He Runqing. Instead, there was resentment in them.
"What are you doing back here, He Runqing..."
“Shanghai is my home, can’t I come back?” He Runqing asked, somewhat puzzled.
Jiang Yu tugged at Yang Lixin: "Brother Lixin, don't look at He Runqing anymore. She already has someone. The man next to her is probably someone she brought back from the countryside."
“You think about her all the time, but she’s never really cared about you.”
Yang Lixin also looked pained and asked He Runqing, "Xiaoqing, tell me, what happened?"
"This is my husband, Chen Yifei," He Runqing introduced slowly, her eyes filled with love as she looked at Chen Yifei.
"If you have nothing else to do, please move aside. My husband and I are digesting our food and we have things to do later. It's very uncomfortable to see unpleasant things gathered together."
There were no small talk, no greetings between friends.
Upon meeting, Jiang Yu only accused He Runqing: "That's how you are. You keep Li Xin hanging on by writing letters, but in reality, you've already married another man."
"It's a waste that Brother Lixin has been so focused on you."
Yang Lixin also said, "Her marriage must be... must be difficult in the countryside. I can't help it, I can't go to the countryside with her, so... I understand. It's okay, Runqing, I'm taking care of your aunt and uncle, I visit them every few days."
"Just treat me like an older brother..."
Then Yang Lixin smiled wryly, and Chen Yifei frowned, finding the man and woman annoying.
He didn't stand on ceremony either.
With a "thud," Yang Lixin was thrown to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw. While Yang Lixin was still in a daze, Jiang Yu quickly shouted, "What are you doing?"
"Those country bumpkins only know how to hit people. Can't you speak properly? You have absolutely no education. He Runqing, that bitch, not only is she stringing two men along, but now she expects them to fight over her?"
"..."
Jiang Yu's voice was already very sharp, and when she spoke these words, she kept saying them one after another, which was extremely annoying to watch.
Chen Yifei turned around and slapped him.
Jiang Yu's face immediately swelled up and she said incredulously, "You hit a woman..."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll hit you again." Chen Yifei slapped one cheek symmetrically again.
He Runqing, watching from the side, also felt a little panicked: "Chen Yifei, be careful, don't hurt yourself."
"Wife, don't move, wait for me on the side."
Damn it, both this man and woman deserve a beating; they're acting completely crazy.
Chen Yifei is not someone to be trifled with. He's been bullied to the point of being humiliated, so how could he let them get away with it?
Yang Lixin was incredulous and wanted to speak, but he was in too much pain from the beating and, being a man, was too embarrassed to scream.
So he groaned as Chen Yifei threw left and right hooks at him.
Because of Jiang Yu's shout, this place, which was originally in the market, was bustling with people coming and going.
He leaned closer and said:
"Wow, how did this young man manage to beat up so many people?"
"They hit all the women. That little girl was screaming so pitifully."
"Who is this person? They look like they're from out of town, right? Did you call the police? Did someone go to the phone booth to make a call?"
"..."
Chen Yifei stood up only after beating the man into submission, clapped his hands, and rolled up his sleeves.
At this moment, Jiang Yu was talking to the people around him, saying how rude Chen Yifei and his wife were and how ugly their actions were.
"Everyone come and see, this woman married someone else after she went to the countryside, but she's still hanging around a man in the city."
"Now this husband comes and beats up men from Shanghai, how pitiful! I'm her close friend, a good friend, and I got beaten up too... Waaah!"
"He's not content with just beating his own wife, but he comes to beat us. What kind of behavior is that?"
Chen Yifei stood up, upon hearing this and the murmurs around him.
He said, "Everyone, come and judge for yourselves. Would I hit someone for no reason?"
“I accompanied my wife back to visit relatives, and she ran into her so-called good friend, who was getting into a physical relationship with this man. If what she said is true, my wife is stringing someone along.”
"My best friend and this man were pulling and tugging at each other, shouldn't she be beaten up? The woman and the man are behaving intimately, they seem to have been together for a long time. My marriage to my wife won't be delayed in any way, right?"
"It's not right to keep saying such things that damage someone's reputation. My wife is also a native of this area. If the neighbors hear this, how will we live together afterward?"
"Moreover, this is a baseless rumor."
After saying this, Chen Yifei looked at Jiang Yu and said, "Judging from your appearance, you've been having an ambiguous relationship with him for at least a year or two, haven't you?"
"What, you want it all? If someone doesn't marry you, you're blaming our wife?"
"Comrade Jiang Yu, there's something wrong with your work style!"
He Runqing was originally afraid that Chen Yifei would misunderstand, and thought she should explain these things clearly.
I never expected him to react so quickly.
He sorted everything out so quickly and was even able to stand up for her.
He Runqing was filled with mixed emotions upon seeing this.
Such a strange... melodramatic thing, happening right here.
After Chen Yifei said this, everyone around understood:
"I see, then they really deserve to be hit."
"You're both married, and these two are still trying to frame your wife. Protecting your wife is the right thing to do. What a good man!"
"Exactly, only a lot of spineless men hit women. This has nothing to do with the young girl. Isn't this Yang Lixin?"
"Chasing two at the same time? For the past two years, I've seen her going in and out with that girl Jiang Yu. How can you say Runqing has let them down now?"
"Oh dear, I'm your neighbor. I know all about this. I saw it all. Jiang Yu's words are really wrong. So what if He Runqing went to the countryside and got married? She betrayed Yang Lixin, so what about Jiang Yu this year?"
"Willing to interfere in a relationship, and still a close friend who goes everywhere with Qingqing, how good their relationship was back then!"
"..."
Indeed, the eyes of the masses are discerning.
In addition, gossip is human nature, and most of the residents here are old Shanghainese who know every household in the neighborhood like the back of their hand!
So this little thing can't be kept secret at all.
Yang Lixin felt ashamed and saw Jiang Yu coming over to help him up: "You should leave now. Don't bother me."
"Furthermore, Jiang Yu has never agreed to be in a relationship with you. Nor has she had anything with He Runqing. You're ruining both of our reputations here!"
Jiang Yu: "..."
She's been so busy, how did she end up like this?
She pouted and cried; her face was swollen from the beating and still stinging. Yang Lixin then simply left.
Jiang Yu ran off quickly, determined to find a chance to teach Chen Yifei a lesson.
Chen Yifei had absolutely no respect for a man like Yang Lixin.
