Chapter 410: Chapter 410 Coveting Crocodile’s American Tiger (1)

"Did you all hear that? What did they say?"

"They said that this guy dumped the woman across from him; this man’s mother seems to look down on the woman for being poor and went on to find a rich girl. They said if the woman could find someone wealthier than her son, she should go jump in a river."

"What an extreme mother-in-law, who would dare marry into that family? If it were me, I would have slapped them; just jumping in a river would be letting them off too easy!"

The chattering voices around them were like countless needles, pricking into the three members of the Wa Family.

"I don’t think that woman is any good either; who would even want such a man?"

Lin Yishan’s face changed again and again, fearing that she would be singled out for stealing someone else’s man.

On the other side, Yebai, of course, stirred the pot further, adding, "What’s wrong? Is it because we are old classmates that it feels awkward to call you ’Auntie’?"

Old classmates? Isn’t that implying stealing a man among classmates?

The bystanders weren’t foolish; they quickly caught on, and before long, a circle of people around knew who the mistress was.

"So it’s a den of wolves and rats!"

"This man is a scumbag, and both women are no better."

"I say all three of them should jump in the river together. But it’s summer now; it would be more interesting to watch them in winter."

Listening with their ears, the words of the passersby were far more venomous than Xiao Yebai’s. Wa’s mother and Lin Yishan were already shaking with fear, worrying that the crowd would attack and parade them through the streets. Indeed, their current situation was no different from being publicly humiliated.

They saw someone raising a smartphone, preparing to take a photo of them to post on Weibo.

Lin Yishan, with a "ya," lost all color in her face, and screamed as she threw up her hands to cover it. If she were really photographed and it was posted online, her life would be utterly ruined.

Wa Zicong quickly raised his arms, trying to block the camera lenses aiming at them.

Wa’s mother wanted to faint but couldn’t pass out; she feared that if she did, everyone would take more photos, and her body would be immortalized in the pictures.

The atmosphere was heating up, as countless people raised their phones.

Suddenly, Wa’s mother shouted, "Isn’t it just jumping into a river? So I’ll jump!"

She refused to believe it. It was just a river, after all—what of it? Was there even a river here for her to jump into? Who would conjure a river for her?

She thought this would silence the crowd, but Wa’s mother clearly underestimated the public’s capacity for wisdom.

"Hey, don’t we have a pool in front of our building? Let her jump there. She was the one who said she wanted to jump."

Someone in the crowd was the first to shout this, and it quickly gained an enthusiastic response.

Wa’s mother was startled, and before she could react, the surrounding people were already escorting her towards the building’s main entrance. They were on the first floor, and the fountain by the door was only a few steps away.

Under the pressure of the situation, Wa’s mother found herself squeezed to the edge of the fountain, and before she knew it, her feet were in the water.

"Mom—" Wa Zicong, worried she would fall in the water, hurried down into the pool to pull her up.

Compared to Wa’s mother and son, who ended up in the pool seemingly of their own volition, Lin Yishan was especially unlucky, getting squeezed in from the outside. She toppled backward and found herself sitting in the pool, water instantly submerging her up to her chest. Her light, clingy summer clothes revealed more than intended in the blink of an eye, not to mention all the smartphones flashing from the crowd.

Lin Yishan’s eyes rolled back as she collapsed in the fountain.

The Wa mother and son were horrified and quickly went over to help her up.

However, the surrounding crowd of spectators was in no hurry to let the three of them off the hook, shouting, "Weren’t you supposed to jump in a river? Why just a pool?"
