At the entrance of the family compound of the geological team in City X.
Xiao Xinyi, who had just returned from the market, was humming a tune and seemed to be in a good mood.
It's the weekend.
Chen Xuelin has no missions to go out, and Chen Dong and Lin Zhiyuan are also returning from Mingzhu City.
The only time the family can get together like this is during the Chinese New Year.
So early in the morning, Xiao Xinyi went to the vegetable market to buy groceries.
However.
Her good mood came to an abrupt end as she entered the family compound.
There are many women, and that's certainly true.
Several women who always loved to gossip sat together, naturally discussing the gossip they had heard from their respective sources.
So-and-so was flirting with which woman.
So-and-so had a fight last night...
Such gossip was passed around by a few people and spread at an astonishing speed.
Within a day, everyone in the staff and family compound would know.
However, their topic of conversation today was Chen Dong.
"Look, look! It's her, it's her..."
"Tsk tsk tsk... I really can't believe it. Her son ran away with the money, and she still has the nerve to go grocery shopping. How thick-skinned can this person be!"
“I heard that Yang’s wife has argued with her husband several times over this matter, and they’ve even torn each other apart.”
"......"
The group spoke loudly, as if they wanted to shout at Xiao Xinyi through a megaphone, "Your son Chen Dong has run away with everyone's money!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xinyi's face immediately turned cold.
No mother could remain unmoved after hearing such words.
Xiao Xinyi put down her vegetable basket and turned to walk aggressively toward the group.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who ran off with the money?"
"Stop talking, the person in question is already here."
"What's there to be afraid of? It's the truth. Besides, I can say whatever I want. Does she dare to hit me?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
"Smack!"
A crisp sound.
Whether it was the gossipy woman who had been beaten or the people around her, they all stared blankly at Xiao Xinyi.
To their utter surprise, Xiao Xinyi didn't waste any words and slapped them across the face.
The scene fell silent instantly!
"You dare hit me?"
The gossipy woman covered her left cheek, which had been slapped, pointed at Xiao Xinyi, and said incredulously.
"puff!"
Xiao Xinyi chuckled and said sarcastically.
"Look at what you're saying! If you hadn't asked me, would I have dared to hit you?"
"I'm not good with words, so I'll answer your question with actions."
"I dare!"
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Upon hearing this, the gossipy woman bared her teeth and claws, about to charge at Xiao Xinyi, but was grabbed and stopped by several women beside her.
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, let's talk this out."
"You all saw it just now, she hit me, I was hit, are you all blind?"
The gossipy woman was hysterical, constantly twisting her fat body.
“Beating you is too lenient. I’m asking you, what did my son Chen Dong do to offend you that you’ve been gossiping about him outside?”
Upon hearing Chen Dong's name, the woman stopped writhing and shouted at Xiao Xinyi.
"You're just gossiping?"
"The whole neighborhood knows about the little scum your son did. Am I gossiping?"
"You've done something wrong, so you can't let others talk about it?"
Xiao Xinyi was amused by these words.
Suddenly I realized that getting angry with such a crazy woman is pointless.
The commotion attracted more and more employees' families, who flocked to the scene.
As more and more people gathered around, the gossipy woman became increasingly arrogant.
"You all should be the judge and see if what I said is true."
“Xiao Xinyi slapped me right away. This is not over.”
Instantly.
The surrounding people began to murmur.
"Is Chen Xuelin's wife really that formidable? Did she really slap him across the face?"
"Of course! I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?"
"If you ask me, this old woman deserves a beating. It's one thing to gossip all the time, but to say such things in front of Chen Xuelin's wife is unacceptable. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to stand it either."
The gossipy woman's face turned pale and then red; she hadn't expected that not everyone was on her side.
Just then, her eyes lit up, and she shouted in that direction.
"Deng Guigui!"
She had heard about what happened a few days ago. With Deng Guigui around, let's see what these people have to say.
"Sister Ma!"
"Deng Guigui, tell everyone quickly, am I lying or not? Did her son Chen Dong run away with everyone's money?"
"this......"
Upon hearing this, Deng Guigui frowned.
This crazy woman wants to roast him over a fire.
If what Chen Nan said is true, and Chen Dong comes back today, wouldn't that be slapping him in the face in front of all the employees and their families?
Seeing Deng Guigui's hesitation, the gossipy woman persisted.
"What are you afraid of? She's not going to eat you. You didn't see how fierce she was just now. She slapped me right away."
As she spoke, she removed her right hand from her face, allowing everyone to see the scars on her face.
At this time, her left cheek was swollen and had five obvious finger marks.
Upon seeing this, everyone gasped.
"hiss......"
"Chen Xuelin's wife is a ruthless woman. Sister Ma's face will probably be scarred."
"......"
