During the lunch break, Teacher Liu came over to talk to Ye Shi.
"Xiao Zhe's mom, we're organizing a trip for some of the students' moms to pick fruit at the orchard. Would you like to come along?"
Ye Shi glanced at the child and politely declined, saying, "I'm not comfortable leaving the child here alone, so I'd better not go for now."
"It's alright, I'll take care of the child. Besides, you brought bodyguards with you, didn't you?" Teacher Liu glanced around, then leaned closer and whispered.
"I've heard a lot of gossip today, saying that you married Mr. Fu with ulterior motives. It's not good for the children if such things spread in the mothers' circle. Since you have the opportunity today, Xiao Zhe's mother, why don't you go over and get to know them? Maybe they will change their opinion of you."
Ye Shi agreed, taking into account the impact on Xiao Zhe.
Teacher Liu happily took her arm and said, "Xiao Zhe's mother, don't worry, all of us teachers will take good care of the children. You can go fruit picking with them without worry. I also hope that there will be no misunderstandings among the parents. It's good to clear up any misunderstandings as soon as possible."
Before entering the orchard, Ye Shi told Xiao Zhe not to wander off and to wait patiently for her to return.
There is a large orchard nearby with all kinds of fruits.
Ye Shi planned to pick some strawberries to take home, and a wealthy woman took the opportunity to approach her.
"Xiao Zhe's mom, why didn't Xiao Zhe's dad come today?"
She picked fruit with her head down, replying, "I'm on a business trip, I won't be back until I'm done."
"You must be very busy. But I'm curious, you're from Yucheng, so why did you settle down in Haicheng?"
"My friends are all here."
Another wealthy woman chimed in, "But what I've heard is that in these situations, it's usually the man who's keeping a mistress. Look, when President Fu came back to Yucheng, he didn't even take you and Xiao Zhe with him. That's so strange. Shouldn't a family be together?"
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that Xiao Zhe and I are being kept?"
Ye Shi's face flushed with anger, and she couldn't help but retort.
She could ignore whatever they said, but Xiao Zhe was her bottom line.
"Oh, are you angry now?" The wealthy woman dropped the pretense, slamming down the fruit basket and crossing her arms.
"I've heard of Mr. Fu; he's a well-known tycoon in Yucheng. But do you really know anything about Mrs. Fu? After all, I've never seen him bring you out. A woman of unknown background like you can only rely on your pretty face to attract men. Is it really necessary to put on such a high and mighty act in front of us?"
"When did I become superior?"
Ye Shi was speechless. These people were deliberately picking a fight, weren't they?
She turned around, carrying her fruit basket, wanting to pick fruit in another spot.
As a result, the group of women surrounded her, some even pushing her.
"What do you want to do!" Ye Shi was furious.
"What are you doing? You've been flirting with our husbands ever since you showed up today. Is it not enough to seduce President Fu, you also want to seduce our men?" The woman leading the group had a fierce look on her face, and her plump body took up the entire aisle.
"I wasn't flirting with anyone, move aside."
Ye Shi tried to push them away, but they remained unmoved.
Women who are beautiful and have good figures are easily envied, and this is especially evident in this circle.
"What are you glaring at us for? Who gave you the right to glare at us like that?"
The fat woman reached out and pinched Ye Shi's face hard.
The other women started grabbing and tearing at her clothes.
"Let me go!" Ye Shi was so frightened that she backed away and dodged.
"Click—"
The sound of a camera clicking was heard, and the women stopped what they were doing and turned around to look.
