Chapter 352 - 351: How Could a Woman Like This Be Easy to Handle?

Chapter 352: Chapter 351: How Could a Woman Like This Be Easy to Handle?

"Ah!"

The secretary shrieked in pain.

She stared at the middle-aged woman in shock, her eyes instantly turning red.

But before she could say anything, the middle-aged woman pointed at her nose and started cursing, grinding her teeth:

"You little bitch!"

"Who gave you the nerve to seduce my man?"

"Just look at yourself, acting like a slut. You reek of a home-wrecking fox!"

Her words were incredibly harsh, but not a single person present stood up for the secretary.

They quickly fell silent, gathering around the center of the incident to watch the drama unfold.

Lin Feng blinked and, while no one was paying attention to him, slowly backed away until he reached a sofa.

Su Ruoxi looked at him, her eyes darting back and forth as the two communicated with a glance.

"A good show?"

"You bet. Enjoying it?"

"What’s going on?"

"You’ll see in a minute."

Bao An had only been an assistant before and hadn’t been in the CEO’s seat for long.

He never had the opportunity to bring his wife to banquets in the past.

Now, he only brought his secretary, so almost no one in the business world knew what his wife looked like.

However, that didn’t stop them from guessing the truth of the matter from what Bao An’s wife was shouting.

In their circle, it was a normal, unspoken understanding for men to find themselves a mistress.

But Bao An’s wife was the first to cause a scene over such a thing at a formal event like a banquet.

Still, this was rare entertainment, and no one wanted to miss it.

The onlookers watched as Bao An’s wife grew more agitated with her cursing, finally smashing her handbag on the secretary and spitting at her.

"Ptui!"

"What are you crying for? What right do you have to cry?"

Bao An’s wife gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear the secretary to pieces with her bare hands.

"Still putting on that innocent act? When you were seducing my husband, did you ever think this day would come?"

"Have you no shame? You think someone will pity you just because you’re pretty?"

"Save it!"

The secretary, having been hit in the face with the bag, clutched her cheek and shed silent tears.

Anyone who didn’t know the real story would have truly believed she was the victim.

The more she acted this way, the angrier Bao An’s wife became. Finally, unable to hold back, she gritted her teeth and lunged forward.

Hundreds of people in the banquet hall were watching the drama surrounding Bao An. Though they said nothing, their gloating expressions said it all.

Soon, the moment they had all been waiting for happened.

The middle-aged woman rolled up her sleeves, clenched her jaw, and charged, only to be blocked midway by Bao An.

"Xiaoya, calm down!"

Bao An grabbed her arm, suppressing his anger.

"Where did you hear this nonsense?"

"She and I just have a boss-secretary relationship, it’s completely innocent! Stop making a scene!"

’That’s right,’ he thought. ’If someone hadn’t told her, there’s no way my wife would know about this.’

He had never felt so strongly that his wife was being completely unreasonable. Causing a ruckus with him on an occasion like this was a public slap in his face.

The sight of Bao An shielding his secretary made his wife’s mind go blank. Her whole body began to tremble.

"Bao!"

She finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and cursed, her voice choked with tears.

"You cheating dogs, you’ve gone too far!"

"I’ve been married to you for so many years! I gave you a son, served your entire family, young and old, and this is how you treat me?"

’It’s true what they say,’ she thought. ’Men really do go bad the moment they get money!’

Her husband had only been CEO for a few days, and he was already following others’ examples and finding himself a lover.

And now, they were calling her unreasonable.

She was so furious she could barely stand. Her hands shaking, she fumbled in her purse several times before finally pulling out a USB drive and throwing it hard at Bao An.

"Listen to it yourself! You know perfectly well what sordid things you’ve done!"

She pointed at Bao An, her breathing ragged.

"Let me tell you something, Bao! You were the one who begged me to marry you! You only got into Little Broken Station because of my family’s connections! You’re a freeloader, and you’ll always be a freeloader..."

"Enough!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Bao An slapped her across the face.

In an instant, a red handprint appeared on her cheek, looking incredibly painful.

Clutching her face in disbelief, she glared at Bao An, knowing she couldn’t win a fight against him.

So, before he could react, she lunged forward again, grabbing the secretary and unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks.

The secretary was no match for the wife’s strength and could only be pinned to the ground and beaten.

As for Bao An, apart from blocking that one initial lunge, he just stood aside and watched the entire time, as if it had nothing to do with him.

If security hadn’t come and forcibly dragged Bao An’s wife away, there was no telling how long the farce would have continued.

Even though they knew the secretary had brought this on herself and deserved everything she was getting,

many people still couldn’t bear to watch as she staggered to her feet, her clothes disheveled, her hair a rat’s nest, and her face bruised and swollen.

However, their sympathy was purely internal.

It wasn’t their business, so they stayed out of it.

Even if the secretary were beaten to death today, they wouldn’t have had a stronger reaction.

Watching her limp away, Su Ruoxi sighed, pulled Lin Feng out the door, and blocked the middle-aged woman who was waiting outside, eager to teach the secretary another lesson.

In the end, the woman could do nothing. She shot Lin Feng and Su Ruoxi a vicious glare before turning and walking away.

"Are you okay?"

Su Ruoxi asked in a low voice, looking at the secretary’s wretched state.

’We’re all women, after all,’ Su Ruoxi thought. ’Even if the secretary deserved it, she shouldn’t have been beaten like that.’

’And that man, he hid behind women from start to finish.’

’What’s so great about a man like that, that she’d even follow him?’

The secretary glanced at the tissue Su Ruoxi offered, wiped the bloody spittle from the corner of her mouth, and sneered.

"I don’t need your fake sympathy!"

Everyone knew Douhu and Little Broken Station were rivals, and Su Ruoxi was Lin Feng’s girlfriend. She refused to believe Su Ruoxi would be so kind to her.

"What do you mean?"

Not expecting such a response, Su Ruoxi’s voice instinctively rose. "I was just being nice..."

"Who needs your kindness?"

The secretary shot her a look and straightened her messy hair.

"Miss Su the Elder, you should just worry about your own boyfriend. Take a look at that shrew. Who knows, one day in the future, her fate might be yours."

’Men!’

’They never think they have too many women.’

After leaving those words, the secretary finished tidying her clothes.

She continued to limp as she flagged down a taxi and quickly disappeared.

Lin Feng pulled the car around. When Su Ruoxi got into the passenger seat, he saw her long, furious face.

"What’s wrong?"

Lin Feng frowned.

’Whoever dares to provoke my woman is asking to die!’

"What else could it be?"

Su Ruoxi took a deep breath and continued to furiously buckle her seatbelt. "That secretary is completely ungrateful. I was genuinely worried about her, but not only did she not appreciate it, she had to be all sarcastic with me."

’It’s my own fault,’ she fumed internally. ’I should have known she was no good. I shouldn’t have let my bleeding heart take over.’

Lin Feng started the car, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

"A woman who can work for two CEOs in a row—one tyrannical and the other sinister—how could she be easy to deal with?"

"That act of hers was probably put on for people like you to see. She’s not worthy of sympathy."

Besides, that secretary must have had a hand in scheming and planning all the things Chen Guoqiao and Bao An did.

She just got a beating today. She got off easy.

That’s why when the system gave him the quest after he got the USB drive, Lin Feng accepted it without a moment’s hesitation.

Su Ruoxi then realized she had been a naive fool. She gripped her purse resentfully. Recalling the secretary’s insolent face, she felt even angrier than Bao An’s wife had been.

Since the two of them left early, Lin Feng didn’t take her straight home.

Instead, he drove Su Ruoxi to a roadside stall and ordered a pile of grilled meat and crayfish.

As a result, the people who came to this barbecue stall for a late-night snack that evening were surprised to find a Rolls-Royce parked nearby.

They couldn’t help but marvel that people who drive a Rolls-Royce would also come out in person for a late-night snack.

And just how delicious must this late-night food be to attract such a wealthy person to come eat in the middle of the night?

Meanwhile, Lin Feng had no idea that he had inadvertently boosted the barbecue stall’s business.

Lin Feng and Su Ruoxi ate with great relish, stuffing themselves until they were almost full before heading back together.

Some were happy, some were sad. At the banquet hall tonight, most of the onlookers had a great time watching the show.

They could still laugh when they thought about it on their way home.

Only Bao An’s family would have no peace that night.

As soon as he got home, he was faced with an interrogation from his family.
