Chapter 709: Chapter 709 The Way of Heaven Reincarnates, Severing Kindness and Righteousness

Manager Yan had just assured everyone that everything was under control when someone came in causing a ruckus. However, Bai Haixia was really out of line, always dressing flamboyantly at work—not that anyone could criticize her too much given her strong business skills, which the leadership had to acknowledge with some indulgence.

But sometimes she was truly arrogant. Teaching her a lesson wasn’t such a bad idea—it would take her down a notch. He thought as long as it didn’t involve Ning Lingyu, he couldn’t be bothered to intervene. So he turned around and went back to his office.

Employees from other offices, seeing the boss had returned to his office, didn’t interfere either. Unfortunately, Fan Bing was not around at the time, and since his wife had scratched a few people from the procurement department, no one stepped forward to stop her, fearing they couldn’t justify their inaction to their wives at home.

That’s when Bai Haixia really suffered. Her face was scratched by Fan Bing’s wife, ruining her looks, and her clothes were torn to shambles. Just then, Fan Bing’s wife noticed the necklace Bai Haixia was wearing around her neck and went berserk.

It turned out that the necklace belonged to her mother-in-law and had gone missing during a move, only to reappear around Bai Haixia’s neck. Fan Bing’s wife began furiously beating Bai Haixia.

The incident escalated to the police station, for a simple reason—Fan Bing’s wife accused Bai Haixia of theft. The necklace was no ordinary piece. The chain was made of gold, which looked no different from the norm, but the jade pendant it held was of high quality and worth a significant sum.

Now the matter had blown up. Unable to clearly explain where the necklace had come from, the police had to treat it as a theft case. Bai Haixia panicked and confessed her affair with Fan Bing.

The two had been secretly involved for years, and the necklace was a gift from him. Now Fan Bing’s wife was even more infuriated to learn that her husband had been cheating on her with another woman.

She wanted to hit someone on the spot, but the police quickly intervened and summoned Fan Bing and the department store’s leadership.

The outcome was simple: the necklace was returned to the Fan family, and both Fan Bing and Bai Haixia were dismissed from their jobs. The incident couldn’t be concealed. Before the workday even ended, the news had spread.

The residential area behind the department store buzzed with gossip. Upon hearing the news, Bai Haixia’s husband beat her when she got home and then dragged her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce before closing time.

For Bai Haixia, today was surely the darkest day of her life. She had not only lost her job and reputation but was now abandoned by her husband as well. She had never suffered such humiliation before.

Back in the days when she had wielded power in the office and her husband had handled all household chores, Bai Haixia had only needed to look pretty. Now, she was like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouting ’hit it’, and the fall from grace almost drove her to end her life.

Arriving home with her bruises to the Bai’s eldest sister-in-law, she was met with cold words: "Haixia, I know there is Miaomiao’s part in today’s troubles, but in the end, it all happened because you were indiscreet."

"Now with Miaomiao being dismissed and our family’s reputation already tarnished, if you come back to live here, it might not be appropriate. Your nephew and niece are of marriageable age, and as their aunt, you really should consider their prospects."

Bai Haixia forced a smile and headed for the door. "Eldest sister-in-law, don’t forget who caused all this. If Miaomiao hadn’t stolen someone’s partner first, and then humiliated that girl in front of the entire department store crowd, none of this would have happened."

"Remember how you’re treating me now. Whether I live or die in the future is not your concern. But if one day I make something of myself, don’t come crawling back to me. From this point on, we are done with each other."

The Bai family watched Bai Haixia walk farther and farther away from their home, feeling conflicted. They knew what she was like.

The wheel of fortune turns, and who could say what the future would bring? If Bai Haixia rose again, they might not be able to bask in her reflected glory, but they had no choice but to act as they did at the moment.

As that issue resolved itself, when Ning Lingyu went to work the next day, she found everyone’s attitude toward her to be even friendlier than before. Somehow the word had gotten out that her brother-in-law was a deputy director at the Public Security Bureau, which silenced her critics.

As for that scoundrel from the department store, he had been sternly warned by Lu Yichen’s people and now steered clear of Ning Lingyu. He was too frightened to risk his life over this.

When Ning Lingyu was not busy, she would take out her high school textbooks to brush up, her mood vastly improved.

The main wife of the Ning Family also learned from Ning Lingyu that her niece had stood up for her daughter and that the niece’s husband, Lu Yichen, had not hesitated to help. They were also aware of Lu Yichen’s assistance with Ning Lingyu’s repeat year studies.

They decided that they must present a significant gift at the niece’s wedding as a token of their gratitude.
