192 Madam and Sir Are as Good as One Person with One Soul
When she reached the courtyard of Li Yanchenâs villa, she hurried in.
Auntie Huang quickly closed the gate and tried to drive the woman out, but she boldly grabbed the hollowed gate post with one hand.
âMiss, you are trespassing on private property. I will call the police to arrest you if you donât stop.â Auntie Huang was firm in her words. If there wasnât a crowd, she would have shouted at this woman.
âWhereâs Li Yanchen? He ruined my future and my career. Does he think he can stay out of all this?â Ji Hanzhi was beyond caring about trivial things.
!!
âThis is so embarrassing.â Auntie Huang moved to the side and gave Li Yanchen a call.
In a hotel suite, Li Yanchen patiently waited for Lin Wan. He was preparing for the afternoon meeting while waiting for her. His phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID. It was Auntie Huang. He set the phone on speaker.
Auntie Huang lowered her voice and briefly explained the situation at the Royal Water Bay Villa. Li Yanchen dug his nails into his palm.
âJust call the police directly, Auntie Huang.â He pressed his temples.
Auntie Huang did as she was told. She called the police.
Mrs. Liu, who was next door, observed the woman who seemed to have lost control of her emotions. She walked to her. âJi Hanzhi? I saw your variety show. Youâre quite famous. You have the cutest daughters. This mess really ruined your life, didnât it?â
Ji Hanzhi raised her head and looked at the woman who was dressed beautifully. âMy future is ruined. Li Yanchen and his sister-in-law set up a trap for me. They tricked me into going to Chenxin. They even took pictures and videos of me secretly and created a fake story about me.â
Ji Hanzhi was twisting the truth. The other ladies whispered among themselves and looked at Ji Hanzhi with contempt in their eyes.
They knew Lin Wan. They hated women like Ji Hanzhi who tried to snare away the Big Shots and whine when their plans failed. They might be just wives who stayed at home, but they werenât na?ve.
Mrs. Zhou snorted. âYou expect us to believe that? Mr. Li joining forces with his sister-in-law to frame you? What a joke! Mr. Li had no contact with you. He must be trying to avoid you like the plague, but you refuse to leave him alone. I donât think he has time to collude with anyone to mess with someone like you.â
âThatâs right! We all know the situation. His sister-in-law came here and made a big commotion. She was thrown out. Even the security guards were expelled from their job because apparently, they let just anybody walk in. The new security guards donât seem to be any better.â
âCreeps say they arenât creeps. I have seen people trying to explain themselves to clarify the situation they created out of their carelessness. I never saw someone who messed up their own life and now arrives at their victimâs door to make things more difficult for themselves. Mr. Li is a very reserved man. He doesnât say more than a few words to anybody. Why would he even care about you?â
âBefore starting a rumor, you should probably check how other people are. Nobody will believe you. Before starting a rumor, you should check other peopleâs habits first. No one believes what you say. Also, this lousy sign looks like something you buy for 9.99 yuan with free shipping. His words are even missing some letters.â
âAiyo, thatâs true! I thought Ji Hanzhi graduated from some famous university. How could she be so careless about this?â
â¦
A person took a picture of it and put it in the group chat. Looking at the ladies of the community speaking up for Li Yanchen, Auntie Huangâs confidence soared. She had originally thought that these ladies were just here to watch the show out of boredom, but they were actually very supportive.
âYou came here hoping that someone would look at your sign and upload it online to earn sympathy points. You can continue to act pathetic if you want. I donât think your charade is working to drag Mr. Li and Lin Wan down. Perhaps you should search for another scapegoat before you are completely canceled.â
âWeâre all good friends of Mrs. Li. Weâve recorded the video of you, but we only sent it to our group chat. We will not be the one spreading this misinformation.â
When Auntie Huang heard that, she also chimed in. âYou look like you are the same age as my daughter. How can you do this? Sir blocked Du Xing ages ago. He has given me strict instruction to drive her away if she ever shows her face here. How in the world would he contact her to join forces?â
âWhen I watched your variety show in the past, I felt really sad for you. I knew it wasnât easy being a single mother and having to raise your child on your own. I never thought you were this kind of person. You will never be as good as Madam. That is why Sir never looks at you.â
âMadam and Sir are as good as one person with one soul. Sir took Madam and the children with him this time on a business trip. He only has Madam in his heart and his life. I know you have nothing more to plan, so you do desperate things like this. You can change when you are still young, but a mistake is a mistake. You donât deserve any sympathy at all. You brought this on yourself.â
Ji Hanzhi could accept all the insults thrown at her, but she could not accept how intimate Li Yanchen and Lin Wan were.
She threw the sign to the ground and stomped on it. âI am not crazy! I am not hysterical. He did treat me differently before Lin Wan came into his life.â
The police quickly arrived and took Ji Hanzhi away.
Auntie Huang looked at the ladies gratefully. âThank you for speaking up for us. Would you like to come in and have some tea?â
âNo need. We are all neighbors. Royal Water Bay is a family in itself.â
âI have seen these kinds of women many times. It was very satisfying to drive her away.â
âAuntie Huang, youâre welcome. Just call us if you need anything.â
The ladies returned to their respective homes.
At the hotel in country H, as Lin Wan put on her makeup, her WeChat notifications rang off the hook. She opened the group chat and saw the pictures and videos.
Ji Hanzhi had actually run off to the Royal Water Bay to make a scene. From the video, she saw that the ladies had spoken up for her and Li Yanchen. In the end, Ji Hanzhi was escorted out by the police. Lin Wan thanked them and promised to treat them to a meal when she got back.
The ladies sent many texts telling her not to be so formal and that they were all good friends. They told her to come back soon so that they can get together and have a nice talk once again.
Lin Wan was surprised that the ladies in the neighborhood were actually very nice.
She replied, âThank you so much to all of you. I will get back to you soon. See you all later.â
When Lin Wan came out of the bedroom, she saw Li Yanchen talking on the phone. His tone of voice was intimidating. He sounded angry.
When he saw her, he hung up the phone. âWanwanââ
âI know. I just received news that Ji Hanzhi made a scene at the Royal Water Bay and was taken away by the police.â
âYes. Assistant Qin collected evidence. The videos that the ladies of the Royal Water Bay took confirms that she was trespassing and being aggressive. Itâs enough to lock her up for a few days. Otherwise, Ji Hanzhi wonât stop.â
Lin Wan wanted to be kind but her worldview was shattered by schemes hatched by Ji Hanzhi and Du Xing.
âAlright,â she said. She had no sympathy for Ji Hanzhi anymore.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
A few days of imprisonment would stain Ji Hanzhiâs image even more. âIf we donât involve the police, Ji Hanzhi will never learn.â
After Ji Hanzhi was detained, she was still making a scene. Only when she got a call telling her that all the evidence was with the police, did she understand the gravity of her situation. She was to be detained for fifteen days.
She was baffled. She toned down on her attitude and begged the police for mercy. âI am willing to pay ten times the fine, but please donât detain me. I have two daughters at home. They canât live without me for fifteen days! Please!â
No one sympathized with her. In the end, Ji Hanzhi was arrested and detained.
