95 Chapter 95 : -Mrs. Xing’s first bad image in public 1 (2/2)

The women gawked at her, they were all surprised by her words. They all thought she's meek and wouldn't even try to approach them. But here she is, standing in front of them with her thousand dollars dress, shoes and clear skin. They were embarrassed but they wanted to rebut to save face and bully her back but she's not finished in her scolding yet.

”And my short height doesn't undermine the continuous contributions I made for this country. What about you people? Is your gossiping helped the country's economy?”  Xiulan's perfectly plucked eyebrows were all way up. With her tiny height but amazing confidence, she intimidated these godforsaken gossipers.

The women were mummed and don't know how to answer back. They were just middle class people and a rich, upper class woman scolding them made them afraid to say something.

”I didn't know that Mrs. Xing has a lot of free time to scold people.” A woman with very long fake eyelashes emerged. With her voice, she might be the person who mentioned Gong Yuming's name.

Xiulan lazily looked at this woman who appeared like a random mushroom, provoking her.  ”Yes I have a lot of free time. What about it?” Xiulan rebutted and her eyebrows were still arched. It gave her a snobby and intimidating look.

The annoying woman scoffed. ”Don't be cocky just because you are rich and married to Xing Hongqi. He can leave you anytime.”

”Ad-hominem. Why is my husband being mentioned in this? So what if he leaves me? Am I not allowed to scold people who are slandering me? Hmm?” Xiulan was in the mood to scold people so she would continue this until Dandan is finished with her shopping. Hell, who cares about image now?

”People with class don't argue with people in public.” The woman fought back.

”And who said that? Was it written in a manual on how to be classy?” Xiulan won't let this woman slide.

”You might be rich but your attitude stinks.” The woman provoked. Her arguments were out of place.

”Judgmental. How come you say my attitude stinks when we've been only exchanging questions? I can't believe I am not allowed to scold people who slandered me.” Xiulan bewilderingly asked. She doesn't get this woman's anger. She only scolded the gossipers but this woman is diverting the topic to something else.

”Just wait and your careful pure image will be trashed soon.” The woman was about to leave since she doesn't know what to say anymore.

”I wouldn't mind that. Be careful on not losing your job too.” Xiulan scoffed before she left the gossiping women and went to Dandan, who's busy in responding to the group chat with her co-employees regarding what to buy in the bookstore.

The woman halted her movements and nervously looked at Xiulan's retreating back. ”She won't know my name and report it to my boss, right?”

”Dandan, aren't you finished yet?” Xiulan smiled at Dandan. Her face didn't display any irritation or negativity. It seems that she enjoyed the argument she had a while ago.

”Boss, I'll be next soon. You can wait in the car so you can relax.” Dandan quickly answered. She was confused for a moment why the people surrounding them were looking at her boss quite differently.

”Okay.” Xiulan agreed but before she leaves the place, she picked a book that has caught her eye a while ago and gave it to Dandan. ”Add this to your cart. I want to read it tonight.”

Xiulan left and went to rest inside the car.

Dandan confusedly took the book and stared at it. The title was ”The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera” with a dog doodle on the book cover. Dandan thought it was a harmless novel but when she read the synopsis at the back, she can't help but question if her boss' marriage is currently on the rocks.
