"Who did you say was seducing men? Say it again, say it!" Perhaps it was the injustice of her untimely death igniting all the rage and resentment that had been festering in her heart. Nan Fei's strength was surprising, she grabbed Tian Yuegui by the hair, slapping her fiercely and rapidly in the face. Her expression was terrifying.
Tian Yuegui's face swelled up and turned red from her punches, curses loud enough to be heard half a mile away.
All the onlookers were astounded, even Huo Jinlan was left covering her mouth in disbelief, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
Perhaps it was her frightening gaze, or her rash actions, but no one dared to step forward and continue fighting with Nan Fei.
"Blind dog, your man is considered a treasure only by you and Huo Jinlan, I wouldn't want him even if he were gifted to me." Nan Fei spat disdainfully. It was clear to her now that her past life's docile nature had left her open to being bullied as a child, and being stepped on by anyone as she grew up. It was all because she was too yielding and tongue-tied.
She could not quarrel, let alone fight. Now that heaven had given her a chance to start over, she was determined to make everyone see who she really was.
"Huo Jinlan, I might be your future sister-in-law. Even if you don't like me entering the Huo Family, don't throw dirt at me. Are you being fair to your brother? The boss clearly fancies you, he wants to marry you!" She laughed coldly, her gaze colliding with Huo Jinlan's shocked and threatening one.
The latter, like a startled rabbit, immediately hung her head in distress. This was her usual tactic; every time she acted this way, everyone would sympathize with her. But this time, it was bound to fail.
"Huo Jinlan, you have the highest salary among all of us, does the boss's wife know this? And the boss even asked the finance department to give you two hundred Yuan every month! This was not accounted for in the company's books." She thought of her past life when she used to cheer for Huo Jinlan because of her higher salary. Thinking back now, she was just a fool.
Had she not been reborn, she would never have imagined that Huo Jinlan knew how to manipulate men even at a young age. Not invested, not committed, yet she was able to keep men at her beck and call, quite impressive indeed.
Thinking of the man she had avoided all her life, who was sought-after by Huo Jinlan, brought an indescribable joy to her heart.
Nan Fei's words made everyone turn their attention to Huo Jinlan.
Among the crowd watching the commotion was Little Li from the accounts department. Hearing Nan Fei's words, he instinctively tried to withdraw, but was deliberately encircled by the crowd. The crowd didn't care about anyone's personal affairs, but a mention of salaries touched a nerve for everyone.
Little Li's reaction was easily understood by anyone with a discerning eye.
"That's not true, it's not..." Huo Jinlan's eyes welled up with tears as she looked accusingly at Nan Fei, "Nan Fei, we are classmates, best friends, how... how can you make such baseless accusations against me? I admit my family is better off than yours and I'm prettier than you, but I have always considered you my friend."
"Tch! What a thick-skinned liar." Even at this time, she was trying to smear her name, what a ruthless woman she was.
Tian Yuegui, who was brutally beaten earlier, was finally able to vent her pent-up anger. Remembering that her husband did indeed often attend to Huo Jinlan, everything became clear.
What was there not to understand!
"You little tramp, I'll give you what you deserve." Tian Yuegui, a woman of substantial size, lunged at Huo Jinlan like a small hill, pinning the slender woman to the ground, tearing at her and biting her.
