Even though Mrs. Sun noticed that Mrs. Lu looked somewhat skeptical and hesitant, she continued, “I’m telling the truth! Both families almost got engaged, but then there was a severe campus violence incident. Due to the intense public backlash, the Zhou family couldn’t make it in Hai City and returned to Lin City!”
As she spoke, Mrs. Lu recalled the gossip that circulated when the Zhou family had first returned to Lin City. Most of it implied that Zhou Liang had been driven out of Hai City and had no choice but to return to Lin City.
However, because Hai City and Lin City were so far apart, and there might have been deliberate suppression of the news, the matter quickly faded from people’s attention.
Mrs. Lu had heard some of this but didn’t care much about whether the Zhou family’s business had failed or succeeded.
The Lu family’s current status was not solely built upon business mergers. She simply wanted a daughter-in-law with a clear background.
Mei Shu had been the perfect choice before, but now it was Zhou Li.
However, if Zhou Li had truly been involved in such a severe incident, Mrs. Lu needed to investigate thoroughly. She couldn’t allow someone with an unclear past to marry into the Lu family, causing unrest.
“Thank you for letting me know. I’ll send someone to Hai City to investigate this matter personally,” A4rs. Lu replied.
Mrs. Sun smiled casually and said, “I’ve only heard about it. Don’t ignore the girl just because of this. If she genuinely likes Lu Yan, just clarify these rumors, and everything should be fine.”
Mrs. Lu smiled to indicate that she understood. The card game continued, and none of them noticed the hurried footsteps approaching outside after the room had settled into silence.
On the street, the market was bustling and crowded.
A young girl moved nimbly through the crowd, eventually picking a spot she liked. She gently lifted the brim of her cap to cover her face entirely.
Up ahead, an angry man’s voice continued to insult a woman on the ground.
He grabbed her collar viciously, shouting loudly, “I told you not to buy it, so you shouldn’t! This meat is expensive, do you think you’re from a wealthy family? Why are you spending so much money on this meat?”
“I’m not buying it for myself! My aunt helped us so much; I want to buy something to take to her!” The woman clutched her wallet and argued her point.
The man felt the judgmental glares from the surrounding onlookers and couldn’t stand the embarrassment. He slapped the woman across her face. “Worthless! How did I marry such a stupid woman like you?”
“Hey, why are you hitting her?” Some women from the crowd couldn’t stand by any longer and intervened in small groups.
When the man heard this, he became even angrier, raised his voice, and scolded, “What does it have to do with you old ladies? Hurry up and get out of here; don’t interfere with my business!”
“What’s wrong with you? If you block our way, how are we supposed to buy groceries?” The older women were not willing to back down and assumed an imposing manner. They were determined to get involved in this matter.
“I’m telling you, girl, why are you still with this man? You should divorce him before it’s too late, and keep as far away from him as possible!”
People in the crowd grew increasingly agitated and began offering their opinions.
The man’s temper was already at its limit. He yanked the woman up from the ground and held her hand as they started to leave. “Don’t cause a scene here, you’re embarrassing me in front of everyone. I’ll deal with you when we get home, you b*tch!”
“No!” The woman cowered in fear, her cheek already swollen from the slap.
“Shut the f*ck up; One more word 1’11 beat the hell out of you in front of everyone now!” The man impatiently warned, trying to drag the woman out of the crowd.
“Wait.” Suddenly, the girl wearing a cap stood in their way.
The man’s rage had reached its peak. “Who the hell are you? Haven’t you heard of being a good dog and not blocking the road? If you irritate me, I’ll beat you too!”
The girl’s face remained hidden by her cap, making her emotions impossible to read.
Her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she were afraid, but she didn’t move from her spot.
The women who were watching the commotion couldn’t stand by any longer and reached out to grab the girl’s arm. “Young lady, men like this have nothing to lose. Don’t get involved; you might get in trouble!”
“Did you hear that? If you know what’s good for you, get lost. Damn it, how f*cking unlucky!” The man cursed and was about to bypass the girl to leave.
As he was going to pass her, the young girl suddenly let out a cold laugh. “It’s been a while since I’ve heard such a funny joke. You say you want to hit me?” “Are you f*cking crazy or something?! Today, I’m going to teach you a lesson!”
With that, the man forcefully released the woman’s hand, and then swung his fist towards the still sneering girl.
The crowd gasped, and someone had already taken out their phone to call the police.
But just when they thought a tragedy was about to unfold, the girl, who had been standing still and dazed, suddenly moved..
