Chapitre 16: Chapter 16 Confrontation
Anyway, under the current circumstances, the police are probably all out maintaining order.
Moreover, the more chaotic it gets, the less anyone cares about trivial matters like theirs.
Even during normal times, it would just be considered a dispute and resolved internally or settled privately.
"Jhiang Yuan, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless and heartless. No matter what, you've shared a bed with Chaoyang for so many years.
You two even have a daughter. Don't you have any compassion at all?"
Bai Mengmeng looked at her, full of reproach, as if she had committed some heinous crime.
Jhiang Yuan snorted disdainfully, nostrils flaring: "You, with no morals, trying to morally blackmail me?
If it wasn't for your shamelessness, spreading your legs for anyone, would we have come to this?"
"What are you talking about?"
Bai Mengmeng was infuriated, her voice changing. Being Xia Chaoyang's mistress was the biggest blemish of her life.
"Whether I'm talking nonsense, you know very well..."
"Jhiang Yuan, I know you're angry, but Chaoyang loves me. He told me his heart only has room for me, and the one who isn't loved is the real mistress, you know?"
Bai Mengmeng's bizarre statement, asserted with such confidence, almost made her laugh.
"Since you put it that way, I really need to have it out with you.
You say the one who isn't loved is the mistress, which law in our country states that?
Stop spouting such strange arguments here. Is this how all you mistresses convince yourselves?
Also, never bring up the child issue with me. You keep saying your son is Chaoyang's, do you have any evidence?"
Her questioning made Bai Mengmeng flush with anger.
"Of course I do. My son looks exactly like Chaoyang, as if they were cast from the same mold. What else is there to explain?"
In fact, she was telling the truth.
The boy looked remarkably like Xia Chaoyang, especially the eyes, which were identical.
But, with no one here, she could say whatever she wanted.
More and more people kept arriving, the stairwell crowded with onlookers.
By now, many people's phones were out of battery. Free gossip was too good to pass up.
"You can drop it. What your son looks like, what Xia Chaoyang looks like, that's just too contrary to say.
Don't say they don't look alike; they're utterly unrelated.
You were so eager to find someone else, who knows if you were already pregnant at that time, not knowing who the father was?
Only Xia Chaoyang could be so blind and foolish to take you on."
"You're talking nonsense."
Bai Mengmeng's face twisted with anger, usually pretty and having dressed up specially for today.
However, her current ferocity completely erased her previously charming appearance.
"Xiao Dong is definitely Chaoyang's son, there's no doubt about that, so stop slinging mud here."
The people around looked at each other, unsure of whom to believe.
Yet, Jhiang Yuan was incredibly calm.
Realistically, how could a woman replaced by a mistress be so magnanimous, unless what she was saying was true?
"Enough, everyone knows the name Dream Goddess.
Two thousand yuan a night, clearly marked prices, many people in our market have sought you, have you forgotten?
Wasn't it that time you went too far at Old Wang's shop, ended up spending the night there, and that's how you ran into Xia Chaoyang again?
"You have no idea, Old Wang said you really let loose, tsk tsk…"
"You're farting, Jhiang Yuan, you're doing this on purpose, purposely slandering me. This is defamation, and I'm going to sue you…"
Jhiang Yuan looked at her somewhat innocently, thinking she was pretty strong with tea gossip, yet she couldn't handle such a minor setback.
"Why are you so agitated? If you're innocent, you won't fear a slanted shadow. Old Wang mentioned before that you have a red mole on your butt. If you're innocent, dare you let everyone have a look?"
Bai Mengmeng panicked, she didn't even know any Old Wang, and her reunion with Xia Chaoyang wasn't like that at all.
Moreover, she didn't have a red mole on her butt.
"Haha, I see it clearly now, Jhiang Yuan, you're just jealous of us, can't stand to see our happiness.
That's why you deliberately said that to make everyone misunderstand me.
Regardless of whether or not there's a mole on my butt, I would never let everyone see it; no matter what, you would be right."
Ah, not dumb, she still has some brains.
This was indeed all made up by her.
The reason was nothing but this: in her past life, Bai Mengmeng kept convincing Xia Chaoyang to let Jhiang Yuan go out and sell herself.
She also spread rumors, saying some indecent things about her.
Now, she used the same method against her.
"Okay, what's the use of talking so much, even if no one else knows you, don't I know you?
You were Xia Chaoyang's mistress, probably weren't idle either.
Now you're out of money, why not go back to your old profession? There are so many young men here, see who would like to be your patron."
She said it very loudly on purpose, and in the stairwell, many people's gazes turned sinister.
Especially that man downstairs, who lecherously touched his chin.
Bai Mengmeng was on the verge of tears, squeezing out a couple of drops.
"Jhiang Yuan, this is how you slander me, but God sees everything.
I swear to heaven, I, Bai Mengmeng, am completely innocent. If it's really like that, let the thunder strike me."
Jhiang Yuan dug at her nonexistent earwax, flicked her fingernail forcefully, making a crisp sound.
"Enough already, we're all materialists here, what's the use of swearing? If oaths were useful, what would we need police for?"
She spoke as if it were justified and conclusive.
"Hey, beauty, my family is rich, if you want, I can lend you some."
The speaker was the man downstairs.
The woman next to him couldn't stand it and went directly to hit him: "Have you no shame? Our family doesn't have money.
I'm still here and you're already trying to hook up with others, I will kill you."
As she spoke, she actually hit him.
The man didn't dare actually do anything with so many people watching.
"Come on, I just said I would lend her money, I didn't say anything else, what are you so anxious about?"
"Why am I anxious? I see your old habits are returning, seeing this kind of provocative woman and you get thoughts, huh?"
The discussed Bai Mengmeng, turned pale, then red, looking very unwell.
"Enough, you've gone too far, this is personal attack, it's illegal."
The woman was no pushover, Bai Mengmeng thought she could hold up her innocent girl facade, but she greatly overestimated herself.
"Shut your mouth, you home-wrecker wannabe, trying to destroy my family, I'll skin you alive."
As she spoke she was about to get physical, Bai Mengmeng wasn't foolish, and hurriedly stepped back.
