Chapter 119: Chapter 30 The Woman You Can’t Afford to Offend_2

—— At that point, he still believed it was his own mother making unreasonable trouble!

Mrs. Liu was desperate at the time, and it wasn’t until later that the elderly lady who had initially referred Xu Jie to work at her son’s company came up with a solution—she had her son fire Xu Jie on the grounds of betraying company secrets. From then on, Xu Jie’s life plunged from heaven to hell. He repeatedly faced setbacks when looking for work. Within a month, his girlfriend grew increasingly distant from him and eventually moved on to someone better, leaving him behind.

At this juncture, having freed themselves from the clutches of a scheming White Lotus, Lin Xiaoguai and others also believed that the matter was settled, and that Mrs. Liu and Xu Jie could now return to normal life.

Unfortunately, life is unpredictable. After a series of blows, even though Xu Jie learned the truth and was rehired by his original company, he could no longer pull himself together. He kept making mistakes at work, to the point that his immediate superior, no longer able to tolerate it, fired him.

Right up until Lin Xiaoguai’s rebirth, Xu Jie was still living in a drunken stupor.

Although Lin Xiaoguai had not encountered any other White Lotuses besides Jiaxue, the impression left on her was indeed... In her eyes, the White Lotus was simply a human weapon of mass destruction!

By nightfall, just before the unease in Lin Xiaoguai’s heart was about to erupt, Wu Ermei finally visited as planned.

"Shen Chi is here too." Wu Ermei smiled at Shen Chi, who had opened the door for her. She entered the house and, as if struck by a thought, stopped Shen Chi, who was about to leave the room for her and Lin Xiaoguai and go take a shower: "Wait, Shen Chi, you stay and listen as well."

Shen Chi looked somewhat bewildered, and seeing Lin Xiaoguai a bit unsettled, he sat down beside her and reassuringly patted her shoulder.

Wu Ermei took a seat opposite the couple and began directly, "Today, I was planning to discuss Hu Fangfang with you."

Seeing that she had captured their attention, Wu Ermei continued, "You haven’t been here long so you might not know some of the consensus within the Military Family Area."

Lin Xiaoguai and Shen Chi exchanged a glance, both appearing somewhat puzzled.

Wu Ermei, unconcerned with their emotions, said, "In our Military Family Area, there are four women you do not want to provoke, one of whom you should both recognize, or at least have heard of—Su Qianqian. Mr. Su usually has a good temper, but he is extremely terrifying when protecting his own. Back when Qianqian was merely sixteen, she clashed with another commander’s daughter. The other one, haughty and arrogant, locked Qianqian in a classroom overnight for failing to outscore her in an exam. Stirring up a hornet’s nest, Mr. Su, usually so amiable, actually forced that girl to kneel and apologize to the ill Qianqian, and her own commander father didn’t dare to utter a word."

To this, Lin Xiaoguai and Shen Chi were not surprised.

"The second one is Guan Lian from the information department." Wu Ermei glanced at Shen Chi, "You should have heard of her."

Shen Chi nodded, "I’ve heard that Guan Lian’s behavior is somewhat unsavory, entangled with many men in the military, but because she’s pretty and comes from a good background, many soldiers vie to be her protector."

"There’s something else that you men might not know, or that the other men wouldn’t tell you," Wu Ermei added. "Previously, a military wife from the Military Family Area who couldn’t stand Guan Lian would mock her to her face. Guan Lian wouldn’t change expression, but before you knew it, she’d seduce the other woman’s husband, nearly ruining their family."

Lin Xiaoguai was somewhat dumbstruck, my goodness, she hadn’t expected such women to exist in this era. It was truly an eye-opener.

"The third one is Niu Lan, the wife of the sixth battalion commander, Cheng Shi Qiang." Wu Ermei’s expression wasn’t as cold as when she spoke of Guan Lian—Lin Xiaoguai even detected a trace of bemusement.

"Niu Lan is actually from my hometown. Frankly, her threat is much less compared to the previous two because, aside from having a husband who is a battalion commander, she doesn’t have any other connections. She comes from a poor rural area, the kind of remote and rough place that breeds crafty people, and Niu Lan is the living embodiment. She’s a massive headache even for the seniors when she causes trouble. However, she does have one good point—she doesn’t hold grudges. Offend her once, she gets even and then forgets about it."

"The last one is Hu Fangfang." Here, Wu Ermei’s expression grew conflicted, "Actually, it’s hard to say what bad things Hu Fangfang has done. It’s just that at the slightest dissatisfaction, she cries, cries so much you’d get a headache, and you’re seen as a bully picking on the weak. Also, her ideas are... somewhat peculiar."

She carefully chose her words, "Let me tell you a story. Hu Fangfang once had a good friend named Guo Hong, who was bold and righteous. They were very close, and every time Hu Fangfang was bullied because of her gentle nature, Guo Hong always came to her rescue. At that time, the security area was being expanded, and we military wives went over to cook for the workers, earning a wage to help with household expenses. Both Hu Fangfang and Guo Hong were there. There was another military wife from the countryside named Wang Huazhi, who was strong and sturdy but lazy and gluttonous, and she liked to bully Hu Fangfang, dumping her own work onto her. Because of this, Guo Hong and Wang Huazhi had countless arguments. Guo Hong, on her own, always ended up losing out to Wang Huazhi. Eventually, Guo Hong managed to find some leverage over Wang Huazhi and drove her away. Unexpectedly, Wang Huazhi, after being scolded by her husband, reluctantly went to Hu Fangfang to apologize. Hu Fangfang actually forgave her and even pleaded with the uncle in charge of the expansion to let Wang Huazhi return. Now, Wang Huazhi having got a taste of sweetness, naturally stuck to Hu Fangfang. But she hated Guo Hong for the past, and started to target her. And Hu Fangfang, as if blind to it all, didn’t do anything while Guo Hong was eventually pushed out from cooking at the site. She didn’t hold a grudge against Wang Huazhi but hated Hu Fangfang with a passion, and hasn’t had any contact with her ever since." (To be continued.
