"So it was her! That bitch, it must have been her!"
Without further ado, Zhang Qiqi launched into another tirade of traditional Chinese culture, greeting the woman who had just passed by downstairs.
This woman, I heard, is a comic book artist. She drew some nonsensical and lousy picture, and she dares to call herself a painter?
Zhang Qiqi has always looked down on these self-proclaimed cultured women, especially since this woman is supposedly a tortoise!
They are actually returnees from overseas, but according to Zhang Qiqi's values, those who have studied abroad can only be considered the next link in their hierarchy of contempt.
"Only ugly, unattractive bitches would think of becoming a cuckold and going abroad to cheat on foreigners! When they can't cheat abroad, they shamelessly come back to cheat on Chinese people!"
The woman Zhang Qiqi looked down on was none other than Peng Yuanyuan!
Zhang Qiqi looked down on Peng Yuanyuan, and this young lady from a family of officials looked down on her even more for being an uncultured mistress who only seduced men with her body.
From the moment they first met in the neighborhood, the two disliked each other.
When strolling around the neighborhood, people occasionally pass by and are often seen hurling insults at each other, with each side sometimes winning and sometimes losing.
The one who lost was naturally the mild-mannered Qingyu, and the one who won was naturally Maria, who hated evil and truly couldn't stand Zhang Qiqi!
Maria thought more than once that it was a pity that murder was illegal, otherwise Zhang Qiqi's grave would be covered with grass two meters high by now.
Of course, this was just Maria's own wishful thinking.
Today, for some reason, a media company called Octopus said that someone has taken a liking to their comics and wants to buy the copyright to make it into a web series.
However, given the importance of this matter, we hope Peng Yuanyuan will come to the company for a face-to-face meeting.
Maria had absolutely no interest in this, but Aoba, as the true author of the manga, was naturally extremely excited and insisted on seeing it for himself.
Maria was speechless and simply disappeared.
Qingyu quickly went out to hail a taxi to Octopus Company.
There was nothing Maria could do; she was the one who could drive, and she didn't want to get involved, so she simply disappeared, leaving Qingyu to figure it out himself.
And so, Qingyu arrived at the foot of Building 38, looking completely bewildered as Zhang Qiqi, wearing a bathrobe, began to curse.
Thinking about the important business at hand, Qingyu didn't think much of it. She glared at the mistress downstairs, cursed her as a lunatic, and hurried towards the main gate of the community.
Unfortunately, it seems Qingyu didn't check the almanac before going out today.
Just a few steps from Building 38, I was stopped by an elderly woman named Yang from the community.
"Xiao Peng, my grandson has run away. Can you help me find him?" The person who stopped Qingyu was none other than Grandma Yang, who lived in the neighborhood and was retiring there.
Grandma Yang and her mother used to work at the Education Department. Qingyu had known this annoying old lady since she was a child and disliked her very much. However, Grandma Yang was her mother's direct supervisor back then, so she had to deal with her frequently.
After drifting for several years, the Austro-Hungarian Empire returned and moved into the Lakeside Community. Only then did Qingyu realize that she was still trapped in its clutches.
What's even more infuriating is that Qingyu already knew that what Old Lady Yang lost wasn't her own grandson, but just a golden teddy bear that her children had raised for her.
Teddy has a cheerful and unrestrained personality; who knows, he might be breeding puppies with some other dog's female dog right now?
Qingyu was gentle and weak-willed. Although she knew the truth, she couldn't resist Old Lady Yang's persistent pestering. Helpless, she could only accompany Old Lady Yang for a walk around the neighborhood.
Finally, in a secluded corner, they found Grandma Yang's grandson, who was fast asleep, and Qingyu was able to escape.
But Qingyu was really unlucky today. Just as she walked to the entrance of the community to hail a taxi, Octopus Media called again.
"I'm so sorry, Ms. Qingyu, the investor has changed their mind and is no longer planning to invest in your comic. We are truly sorry!"
Kind-hearted Qingyu thought the other party had changed their mind because of her lateness, and felt extremely remorseful.
On the way back, Qingyu deliberately avoided Building 38, afraid of getting entangled with that mistress again.
Maria finally woke up just before they were almost home. She first mocked Qingyu, and then cursed the octopus for its irresponsible behavior.
Even after returning to the villa, the two still didn't think there was anything unusual about what had happened that day.
Zhang Qiqi yelled at the window, Old Lady Yang searched for her puppy, and the octopus broke its promise.
These three seemingly unrelated little things completely changed Peng Yuanyuan's short remaining life.
Three days later, a shocking case of a mistress committing suicide was reported in the neighborhood; the deceased was none other than Zhang Qiqi!
On the evening of the fourth day, Li Nan from the Destiny Department knocked on Peng Yuanyuan's door: "Ms. Peng Yuanyuan, hello. We suspect you are involved in a murder case. Please come with us now!"
