"Thank you all for your kind words. If that person comes to my house to cause trouble again, I will definitely not let her off the hook. I've made up my mind that I can't be soft-hearted towards someone like that."
After confirming that the notification had been delivered, Li Baichuan politely thanked the group and left.
Once these people find out, everyone in the alley will soon know, so there's no need to worry about that guy surnamed Meng spreading rumors.
The best course of action is to strike first. Now, only the transportation department remains. He believes his wife has plenty of ways to deal with people in her workplace.
Li Baichuan wasted a morning run opportunity to resolve the matter, and happily picked up his wife when he got back. After dinner, he went to work in high spirits.
On the way, he recounted his heroic act from that morning, looking like he wanted praise.
"Honey, when you get to your workplace, don't confront that person openly. You're pregnant, so let's do it secretly."
Li Baichuan was very worried about letting his wife go to work, fearing that the shameless woman would go crazy.
"Don't worry, she doesn't know we know yet. She's just testing us. I'm being careful, that's why she's overthinking things."
What Suti didn't say was that guarding against people isn't a good approach; the best approach is to prevent her from getting out of control.
"People in the alley already know about this person, so we're not afraid she'll cause trouble and try to take advantage of us."
“I will make things clear at my workplace, and she won’t find any opportunities elsewhere, so don’t worry, honey.”
Li Baichuan kept giving instructions along the way. If he didn't know his wife's personality, he wouldn't have wanted her to go to work.
"Okay, I understand." Su Ti had a plan in mind. Even if she did nothing, Zhu Qingling wouldn't let her off the hook.
That way, when things get out of hand, she'll have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Li Baichuan left without delay after dropping his wife off, afraid of running into that lunatic and him trying to cling to him again.
Meng Yixuan arrived very early today. She remembered that her aunt had said she would come to see her during the lunch break, and she looked down at Su Ti with an air of superiority.
She believed in her aunt's abilities and thought she would soon be able to take Suti's place.
"Get out of the way." Just as Meng Yixuan was looking at people arrogantly, Zhu Qingling pushed her aside.
"Zhu Qingling, are you sick in the head?" Meng Yixuan glared at her, not wanting to argue with someone so rude.
Considering her future status, she needed to perform well and leave a good impression on the Li family.
"You're the one who's sick, sick with envy, and sick with scheming against others." Zhu Qingling still remembered how she had schemed against her.
"You... never mind, I won't hold it against you." Meng Yixuan knew that she was still angry about yesterday, and several people in the office had chosen to side with Su Ti.
She didn't care; they would know what to choose later and would apologize to her for what they had done today.
The morning was just too hard to bear. They used to chat together all the time, but now they were excluding her.
Even when people from other offices came, they would all bring their own people to ostracize her. Those people were also clueless and ganged up on her.
She always felt that when they were chatting together, they were talking about her and making fun of her.
Suti was busy with something early in the morning, going in and out carrying a bunch of things, and first went to the director's office.
Later, it seemed the director took her somewhere, and she was busier than anyone else. Her aunt told her to observe people more, but she didn't see anyone for a long time.
Finally, noon arrived, and Meng Yixuan hurriedly went to the door to greet her aunt.
The gatekeeper knew her; once she signed the form, he could bring her in. It was obvious she was there to freeload at this hour, and he was used to it.
"Auntie, shall we go to the cafeteria first? Today, that Suti and a few people from the office ostracized me."
Meng Yixuan hadn't had a chance to speak for half a day; everyone ignored her, which made her feel really stifled.
"You're so impulsive. When you meet people, just say you were just passing by. Don't say anything you shouldn't."
"No matter what I say, just listen quietly, don't act impulsively, don't ask why, just listen to me first."
Looking at her niece's bewildered eyes, Meng Yalan felt more and more that her niece was too stupid. How could she have thought that she was like her in the first place?
Meng Yixuan took Meng Lanya to the cafeteria, where everyone in the office had already finished getting their meals.
Suti arrived a little late and was queuing for food.
"Auntie, the one wearing the wool coat over there is Suti, and the people sitting over there are my colleagues from the same office. Let's go over together in a bit."
Meng Yixuan pointed at the person and introduced them to her aunt in a soft voice.
Meng Yalan glanced at the woman in front of her. If her niece hadn't said she was pregnant, she wouldn't have believed it at all.
From behind, she couldn't tell at all that her figure was even better than her unmarried niece's. Just one glance was enough for her to feel that she was a formidable rival.
"Get your food first, we'll talk about it later." Meng Yalan stopped her niece, who looked like she was about to say something bad. She was very annoyed right now.
"Su Ti, the fish in the cafeteria is pretty good today, why didn't you get any?" Zhu Qingling moved aside to let Su Ti sit down.
This seat used to belong to Meng Yixuan, but now Zhu Qingling doesn't want to say a word to her, let alone save the seat for her.
"I arrived late, and there were no fish left." Suti calmly sat down. She used to sit on the very edge and couldn't really connect with them.
Right now, it's mainly to spite Meng Yixuan, since people tend to make mistakes when they're impulsive.
"Then let's eat together." Hearing her say that, Zhu Qingling took half of the untouched fish from her bowl and gave it to her.
Suti politely shared half of the stewed meat in her bowl with her; the food in the cafeteria was all so-so.
Zhu Qingling deliberately flattered her in order to spite Meng Yixuan.
She cooperated well, because only when someone is driven to the point of losing their temper can she find a handle to destroy them in one blow.
She had no intention of letting them off so easily. They had already schemed against her; did she really expect her to do something drastic before retaliating?
"Okay." Zhu Qingling said, glancing at Meng Yixuan who was walking towards them, and giving her a smug look.
"Auntie, please sit down. These are all my colleagues." Meng Yixuan was really annoyed by their smug, united demeanor.
Zhu Qingling's eyes widened when she heard Meng Yixuan's words. Why had she brought her aunt along? With an elder present, she restrained herself a bit.
"Hello, comrades. I'm here on business today and just happened to be passing by. I thought of Yixuan, so I came to visit."
“Yixuan insisted that I come in for a meal before leaving, even though it was lunchtime, because I was afraid of disturbing her work.”
"You're all Yixuan's colleagues, right? That's great, you all seem like good kids." Meng Yalan finally saw Suti's face.
She took a deep breath. Is this what you call an average-looking country bumpkin?
