The middle-aged women were now leaning on their knees, panting heavily. They looked around at the quiet crowd, then at Wang Yazhi and the man standing next to her.
Is that woman's boyfriend?
She's quite good-looking.
The women looked around again, but still couldn't recognize who that awful Qin Xiaoxiao was.
Who is Qin Xiaoxiao?
Just as Qin Xiaoxiao was about to speak, she heard the older women behind her calling her name. She turned around in confusion.
"I'm Qin Xiaoxiao, what can I do for you, ma'am?"
As soon as the older women saw Qin Xiaoxiao speak, they quickly walked over to her and looked her up and down.
Hmm, she dresses like a seductive fox, and looks like a vixen. A woman like that is obviously good at manipulating men. No wonder she doesn't allow men to talk to other women.
The older women all raised their chins and looked down at Qin Xiaoxiao with disdain.
"So you're Qin Xiaoxiao? So you're the one who caused trouble for people early in the morning, not letting your man talk to anyone?"
I heard you even swore?
I said, "Comrade Qin, how could you do this? They're colleagues; isn't it normal to greet them when you see them at work? It's one thing if you don't understand, but how could you swear at them?"
The older woman at the front looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with disdain, as if she were looking at something dirty.
He's uneducated and of low quality; he's obviously unemployed and knows nothing.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the group of middle-aged women in surprise, then looked at Wang Yazhi with a half-smile.
"Wang Yazhi, is this how you talk to these old ladies? Don't you know what happened this morning? Should I have a good talk with these old ladies?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Lu stepped forward and blocked Qin Xiaoxiao.
"No need, I'll say it myself."
Wang Yazhi was shocked, but it was too late to stop Su Lu.
"This Comrade Wang Yazhi confessed her feelings to me in mid-June last year. At that time, I told her that I was already married and could not accept her."
I thought that by decisively rejecting her, the matter would be over, and as colleagues, we could still get along peacefully. At worst, I would avoid her to prevent awkwardness between us.
But to my surprise, she actually lived right next door to me.
Okay, I can accept that. Anyway, I told my wife the truth when I got home that night, and she understood. After all, I'm so good-looking, and she's not the only one who's confessed her feelings to me over the years. My wife knows what kind of person I am, trusts my character, and she's used to it.
As Su Lu spoke, he raised his chin and gave Wang Yazhi a haughty look.
His meaning was clear: plenty of women have confessed their feelings to me, so who do you think you are? You think you're good enough for me?
Whether others understood it or not is unknown, but Wang Yazhi certainly did. Her face flushed red, and she was breathing heavily with anger, not daring to meet Su Lu's gaze.
"However, what I never expected was that every day after that, I would run into her when I opened the door to go to work. Even though she knew I didn't want to talk to her, she would still greet me with a smile every day."
"Once or twice is a coincidence, three or four times is a coincidence, but it's been eight or nine months, and I see you every morning on my way to work. That can't be a coincidence, can it?"
As Su Lu spoke, he also looked at several middle-aged women.
Several middle-aged women looked at Wang Yazhi with expressions that were hard to describe; their eyes no longer held sympathy, but rather anger.
They're using them as pawns!
Su Lu didn't care what they thought and continued, "After running into her a few times, I told my wife about it. My wife said it was just a greeting, a normal interaction between colleagues, and she wouldn't be jealous. She told me not to overthink it."
I initially thought it was just a coincidence, but over the course of time, the repeated encounters and greetings made it impossible for me not to overthink it.
So last night I couldn't hold back anymore and told my wife the truth again.
My wife stood at the front door to see me off to work this morning, wanting to see if I was lying. But as soon as I opened my door, I saw their front door open too. She came out smiling, but seeing my wife there, she didn't greet her. Instead, she stood at their door, staring at me with a look that seemed like she could eat me alive.
Wang Yazhi tried to argue, but Su Lu didn't give her a chance. He quickly added, "That's not all. After I walked past, this man went up to my wife and cursed her, calling her vulgar and shameless."
I just want to ask, how is it degrading or shameless for my legal wife to be intimate with me? Does that mean it's legitimate for me to be with other women?
If even legally married couples can't be intimate, then nobody should get married at all. Marriage is degrading, it's shameless.
Su Lu finished speaking in one breath, then glared angrily at Wang Yazhi, and then looked at the several middle-aged women with a pitiful expression.
"Aunties, tell me, was I wrong to do this? Was it right for me to ignore her? My wife hadn't bothered her before, and she only stopped at the door to see me off to work because she couldn't stand it anymore, which was a warning to her. But she's the one who's bothered all of you aunties."
The women were so angry they wanted to yell at Wang Yazhi, but since they were sent by her and were "cadres," they couldn't insult the people. So they tried to help her out.
Several middle-aged women, barely suppressing their anger, looked at Wang Yazhi and asked, "Comrade Wang, is what this comrade said true?"
Wang Yazhi looked evasive and gave an awkward laugh. "That was really an accident. I also start work at that time. Besides, many people start work at that time. It's normal."
The older women aren't stupid. It's normal to encounter them once or twice a day, but it's not normal to encounter them every day for years.
This person is beyond saving!
"Shut up already. You don't even believe what you're saying, do you?"
The women looked at Su Lu again, their eyes filled with apology. "We're sorry, Comrade Su. We didn't understand the situation clearly and almost wronged you."
Su Lu shook his head aggrievedly, then looked at Qin Xiaoxiao and said, "It's my wife who has been wronged. Not only is her husband being targeted, but she also gets scolded for coming out to take a look. It's only because my wife is broad-minded and doesn't hold grudges that she's not so petty. Otherwise, no one else would have let her off the hook."
After being lifted up by Su Lu, Qin Xiaoxiao immediately put on a gentle and warm smile, looking at the several apologetic-looking middle-aged women with the demeanor of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
"Aunties, this is all a misunderstanding. You've been fooled too. I understand."
After saying that, Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Yazhi meaningfully.
Suddenly, Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Yazhi and Liao Chen in shock, "Oh my! His surname is Liao? Then what about that Yu..."
Qin Xiaoxiao's timely exclamation of surprise awakened the memories of the surrounding neighbors. Everyone immediately remembered that Wang Yazhi's boyfriend's name was Yu Tian, and the man in front of them seemed to be surnamed Liao.
Wang Yazhi and this man were very close, which clearly indicated that their relationship was not that of colleagues or friends.
Their relationship is... well...
