Su Wantang picked out a few comrades who had spoken up earlier, washed their faces, applied whitening cream and jade cream to them, and chatted while waiting for the medicine to take effect.
After chatting for a short while, Wen Wanqing's colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whom she had informed in advance, arrived one after another. They were all acquaintances, and they didn't ask any questions. They just started talking about how many boxes she had, which attracted the attention of those around them.
"Could this be a plant?"
Tian Meng's gaze, guided by her built-in GPS, locked onto the woman: "Auntie, what are you saying? We are respectable people with proper jobs. Go out, turn right, and walk to the end of the street to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you know? We all work there."
The woman who had muttered something casually quickly shut her mouth.
Tian Meng turned her head: "Wantang, I want one box of Jade Face Cream and three boxes of Whitening Cream."
Su Wantang grinned from ear to ear; she loved people with long beaks. "Okay, sister, I'll round it down to sixty yuan."
Five pieces were wiped away in one go. Tian Meng was clearly stunned for a moment. She glanced at Wen Wanqing, who was busy beside Su Wantang. Seeing that Wen Wanqing was not acting strangely, the smile on her lips deepened a little.
Director Wen's translation is definitely fine; it's only a matter of time before he gets back.
No wonder she's Director Wen's daughter-in-law; she's so magnanimous.
After Tian Meng paid, she took the bag from Su Wantang and was about to leave when a poorly dressed woman suddenly rushed over from behind and bumped into her.
She stumbled backward several steps uncontrollably, but Su Wantang reacted quickly and reached out to catch Tian Meng, preventing her from falling to the ground.
Just as she regained her composure, Su Wantang heard a familiar female voice.
"Wen Wanqing, you bitch!"
—It is Yu Manfan.
Where did she come from?
Before she could think any further, Su Wantang's pupils suddenly contracted.
Yu Manfan raised her hand, the wind whistling past Wen Wanqing's face: "You stole my man! You ruined my life! I'll slap you to death—"
Wen Wanqing wasn't one to just sit there and wait to be hit. She slapped Yu Manfan's wrist away and raised her hand to slap her: "Did you eat too much garlic this morning? You stink!"
Yu Manfan covered her face and pointed at Wen Wanqing: "You hit me?"
Su Wantang rushed over at this moment, grabbed Yu Manfan's arm and pulled her back forcefully, slapping her several times: "I'm hitting you! I'll teach you to talk nonsense!"
After reprimanding Yu Manfan, Su Wantang tossed her aside and pulled Wen Wanqing's hand, asking, "Mom, does your hand hurt?"
Yu Manfan was knocked to the ground by Su Wantang's force. A dense, aching pain shot through her tailbone, and her face wrinkled as if she were wearing a mask of pain, but it was nothing compared to the stinging pain she felt from the scene before her.
During her six-month imprisonment, Tingting never once visited her.
After being released from prison, she came to Tingting's door, but Tingting didn't recognize her. Her grandson spat at her and even threatened to publish a notice in the newspaper to sever ties with her.
All of this is thanks to Wen Wanqing and Su Wantang. Why do they, as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, have such a harmonious relationship?
Yu Manfan stood up, supporting her back, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Everyone, don't believe the nonsense these two, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, are both deceitful sluts! Especially her—"
She pointed at Wen Wanqing, her mouth opening and closing like a machine gun firing a rapid-fire: "I treated her as a friend, but she shamelessly stripped naked and slept with my boyfriend. After her tearful complaints, I softened and forgave her. I never thought that her daughter-in-law would steal my daughter's man. One against three, their hearts are all black. What kind of bullshit whitening cream is that? It ruins my face after I use it!"
The group, who had been listening to the gossip, were suddenly shocked: "What? A ruined face?"
Su Wantang said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense! Believe me or not, I'll call the police and have you arrested."
Yu Manfan has nothing now, so she's not afraid of that.
"Who's talking nonsense? I have evidence."
Yu Manfan pulled a stack of envelopes from her bosom: "Wen Wanqing, look for yourself, isn't this Yuan Yang's handwriting? The person he loves is me!"
Having been married for many years, Wen Wanqing naturally recognized Lu Yuanyang's handwriting.
Back then, she did indeed have a one-night stand with Lu Yuanyang while staying at Manfan's house, leading to a marriage of convenience that blossomed into love.
Noticing the strength with which Wen Wanqing gripped her hand, Su Wantang's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Wen Wanqing with concern: "Mom?"
There must be some misunderstanding here.
"Misunderstanding?" Yu Manfan scoffed. "Wen Wanqing, you don't know, do you? Back then, when you gave birth, Yuanyang couldn't get back in time because he was with me. I was pregnant and feeling unwell at the time."
In an instant, all color drained from Wen Wanqing's face.
Yu Manfan couldn't help but feel smug and said to everyone, "How could the things sold by such a morally corrupt mother-in-law and daughter-in-law be of good quality? They probably just grabbed a lump of mud mixed with excrement from somewhere, packaged it up, and made dirty money."
The whitening cream and jade face cream are made of pure Chinese medicine, and their color is indeed quite dark. Now that you mention it, it really does sound like what Yu Manfan described.
Everyone immediately got restless, reaching out to grab the basin of water and starting to wash their faces.
Su Wantang's heart is now completely occupied by Wen Wanqing, so she doesn't care about these things anymore.
"Mom, you know Dad better than we do after all these years. Don't believe him—"
Wen Wanqing gave Su Wantang a reassuring look, took her arm off, and walked over to Yu Manfan.
Clap clap clap.
It was several slaps.
A crisp slap rang out, and the crowd, who were scrambling to wash their faces, all paused, twisting their necks and their eyes gleaming with interest.
"So what?"
Yes, so what?
Su Wantang suddenly laughed; she had been overthinking it.
Wen Wanqing grabbed Yu Manfan's chin, her imposing aura chilling as she glared at her: "Yu Manfan, if it weren't for that accident back then, I would never have married Lu Yuanyang! I, Wen Wanqing, have never said that I can't live without a man!"
"I don't need you to flaunt your uncleanness to me; I'll get rid of it myself."
"Wantang," Wen Wanqing called out.
