Chapter 360: Chapter 360

Simeng, today Li Si and Bai Shasha specifically came to find Su Meng to go out for a meal together. The three of them were casually chatting in the office.

"Meng Meng, what’s going on with you and Brother Wu?" Li Si swallowed the tiramisu in her mouth and asked.

Lately, Su Meng and Brother Wu had been inseparable, always coming and going together. No one knew whether Mrs. Long had found fault with her yet.

Su Meng thought of his tenderness, her heart warmed, and a trace of happiness flickered across her face: "Same as always!"

Li Si playfully blinked: "Same as always, huh? What’s that supposed to mean? Spill the tea! I’m so curious!"

"Why are you so nosy!" Su Meng blushed and gave her a side-eye. Some things just couldn’t be said out loud.

Bai Shasha clicked her tongue from the side: "Meng Meng, from the way you’re hesitating to say anything, it’s definitely not ’same as always’! At least it must be ’great’!"

Su Meng glared at her with embarrassment: "What about you and Xu Er? I heard you guys were watching a blockbuster together. Seems like your relationship has leveled up, huh?"

Bai Shasha: "Um..." She really didn’t know how to respond. Su Meng had quite the sharp tongue. The fact was, she had watched a movie with him—getting a feel for it, observing—and it was pretty awkward.

Thinking back, she felt her brain must have been fried that day. How could she have acted so much like a tomboy, making Xu Er feel uncomfortable instead?

Li Si was laughing so hard that her face hurt. When she saw Bai Shasha’s reaction, she guessed that Su Meng had hit the nail on the head.

Who would’ve thought? Xu Er’s really something!

Bai Shasha looked resentfully at her two mischievous friends laughing uncontrollably, suddenly feeling like the whole world was full of malice.

If Xu Er were here right now, she would’ve beat him up just to vent her anger.

At that moment, a knock on the door saved her. Zhang Qian entered, nodded at them, and hurriedly called Su Meng, "Manager Su, there’s a fight with a customer outside!"

Su Meng put down her cup and quickly got up to deal with it, asking as she walked, "What happened?"

Zhang Qian kept walking as she urgently explained: "It’s Mrs. Wang, the one with spots on her face. She came here for a facial treatment today, but bumped into another lady at the front desk who was here to get a membership card. No one knows how it started, but after just a few words, they started fighting!"

She felt it was baffling—how did a fight even break out here?

Bai Shasha heard a bit of this and regretfully looked at Li Si’s belly: "Li Si, better stay here safely. I’ll go check out the drama for you and report back!"

She feared that if Li Si got startled and triggered anything due to her pregnancy, she’d have a hard time explaining it to her husband. With the kind of energy her husband had, she would be overwhelmed.

But her gossip-loving nature made it impossible for her to sit idly, she just couldn’t stay put.

Li Si laughed and pushed her: "Then hurry up and go!"

Li Si hadn’t been planning on getting involved in the drama anyway—being pregnant, if she accidentally got hurt, she’d have no one to cry to.

But Bai Shasha? She couldn’t resist watching dramas. If she didn’t go, she’d fidget and lose her mind. Anyway, better for Bai Shasha to go and report back afterwards.

In the lobby, a plump woman was slapping the face of a long-haired woman while yelling loudly: "You little b*tch! Not only do you dare seduce my husband, Mr. Wang, but you also spend his money at the same place as me! Are you purposely provoking me? I’m going to slap you to death today!"

A group of staff and customers was gathered around, confused about what to do. It was clearly a scene of a wife confronting her husband’s mistress.

Zhang Qian and Su Meng arrived just in time to hold back the furious plump woman, trying to convince her to calm down.

The plump woman panted and cursed: "Calm down? How do you expect me to stay calm? This shameless wh*re is practically sh*tting on me! Should I just tolerate her?"

Bai Shasha dashed down the stairs just in time to hear her words and immediately thought this woman was too crude.

Her gaze shifted to the long-haired woman covering her face and crying. Something about this figure seemed oddly familiar.

At this moment, there was a buzz of whispering. The long-haired woman spoke softly: "I didn’t! I really didn’t! It’s all a misunderstanding!"

As she got emotional and raised her head to explain, Bai Shasha’s jaw nearly dropped in shock—Zhou Rou! Oh my gosh! How could it be her?

Li Si had studied with her before. This Zhou Rou had actually tried to harm Li Si. Bai Shasha couldn’t help but feel amazed at the twist. They had been struggling to track her down, and now she appeared here—like everything falling neatly into place.

And to think Zhou Rou had been dumped and then interfered with by Li Fei stealing her man.

Now, what’s this situation? She’s actually become someone’s mistress?

She sure does have ambition! Judging by the plump woman’s age, her husband couldn’t be young either.

Such self-destruction—no one can help her.

The plump woman stood arrogantly with her hands on her hips: "A misunderstanding? Then explain this card you’re holding. This is clearly one of Mr. Wang’s supplementary cards!"

Having already vented her anger somewhat, she felt better. But since the mistress wouldn’t admit to it and kept putting on an act, she decided to give her a chance to talk it out.

Zhou Rou hurried to clear her name, not noticing Bai Shasha. "I helped President Wang with a favor, and he said this was a thank-you gift!"

"Oh, really? What kind of favor would warrant gifting you a supplementary card? At your young age, do you take me for a fool?

Let me tell you, just because you have some looks doesn’t mean you can go around seducing people. Even if Mr. Wang pampers you, it’s useless. Have you asked him who he owes his success to today?"

The plump woman sneered, sizing her up dramatically. She wouldn’t have bothered tracking and confronting her if she hadn’t received tips about Mr. Wang’s new fling who he seemed thoroughly attached to.

What annoyed her most was that this woman had chosen her family’s beauty clinic to spend money on herself, making herself prettier and then turning around to steal her husband?

No way she’d let that slide!

Zhou Rou pressed her lips together. She hadn’t expected Mr. Wang to be so weak. Ever since breaking up with Han Mingxue, she had some money and jewelry on hand, but living off of it couldn’t last forever.

After taking some time to recover, she landed a job—at Mr. Wang’s company—as a car saleswoman.

With her delicate and graceful looks, Zhou Rou quickly caught Mr. Wang’s attention after starting at the company. It didn’t take long for him to start inviting her to meals, gifting her things, and pursuing her passionately. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.net

Initially, Zhou Rou wasn’t interested. After all, Mr. Wang wasn’t particularly handsome and was a bit older. But his maturity and depth slowly grew on her, and over time, she began to feel something for him.

Yet, just as she decided to give the relationship a try and after they were together for just a few days, his wife publicly confronted and humiliated her. This was a disgrace she couldn’t swallow come what may.

The pain in her face from the slaps was agonizing, and the bright red handprints were stark on her fair skin, making her look pitifully fragile. Too bad the crowd was full of women, most of whom were wives themselves—none would sympathize with her.

They thought she was lucky to get off so easy. Seducing other women’s husbands? A slap and some scolding were mild punishments—some even felt eager to teach her a harsher lesson.

"Madam, it’s truly a misunderstanding!"

"Who are you calling madam? What, are you inviting me to be your sister so we can serve Mr. Wang together?" The plump woman glared at her. She wasn’t buying her pretense or show.

Laughter rang out from the surrounding crowd.

Zhou Rou, lifting her head to continue defending herself, didn’t expect to see Bai Shasha staring at her intensely from outside the crowd.

Her lips tightened as embarrassment washed over her—it was mortifying to run into Bai Shasha here.

Bai Shasha must’ve seen everything unfold just now, right?

What about Li Si? Could she be here too?

Her gaze scanned around, but she didn’t spot Li Si. Relieved, she also recalled Li Fei, and her lowered gaze filled with hatred.

If not for her, how could she have ended up in such a hopeless spot?

Su Meng tried to mediate: "Sister Wang, don’t you think it would be better to resolve this outside? This behavior is seriously affecting our business!"

The plump woman glanced at Su Meng—this shop had strong backing. She had caused enough of a scene already, making it awkward for herself to retreat. Giving her face, she relented, "Alright! I’ll give you some respect! Let’s go and settle this outside!"

Zhou Rou didn’t move, instead looking at Bai Shasha: "Shasha, long time no see!"

Bai Shasha rolled her eyes internally. What was the point of putting on airs now? They had already fallen out. Su Meng looked surprised: "Shasha, you know her?" (To be continued.
