PWE – Chapter 154

“After all, I’m quite capable. Carrying such a small load is easy for me. But Comrade Fang, you’re not talented at all, yet you seem to enjoy making enemies everywhere. Comrade Fang, aren’t you afraid that one day you’ll fall completely?”

Xiao Wange spoke deliberately, each word measured.

Since Fang Qiaoyu didn’t want to get along properly, there was no need for Xiao Wange to beat around the bush. Sometimes, she actually liked being straightforward.

Hearing Xiao Wange speak so bluntly and belittle her, Fang Qiaoyu’s expression darkened instantly with anger.

She clenched her teeth and, almost instinctively, shouted, “How arrogant of you! You liar! You think you can deceive others, and even me? You’re nothing but a charlatan, a street magician using cheap tricks!”

Even now, she refused to acknowledge Xiao Wange’s abilities. She didn’t want to admit that, aside from being beautiful, Xiao Wange was so capable.

Meanwhile, Qi Jiancheng suddenly remembered something—back when Fang Qiaoyu still had ties with the Zhu family, the elders of the Zhu family had once told him on the phone about a woman named Xiao Wange. They had said she was very skilled, versed in the ways of the mystic arts, and warned him never to offend her, as the consequences could be unimaginable.

At the time, he hadn’t taken it seriously. After all, he was a man of science and believed all those mystic arts were just illusions.

But now, recalling it, he thought… perhaps the Zhu family elders were telling the truth. After all, Fang Qiaoyu had fallen into her current predicament because of Xiao Wange, which clearly showed Xiao Wange’s capabilities.

Moreover, seeing Xiao Wange effortlessly carrying those two large flower pots without even catching her breath—he had been wondering earlier how she could be so strong. It seemed her strength was only one of her many talents.

Qi Jiancheng’s thoughts shifted rapidly. A small, apologetic smile appeared in his eyes as he said to Xiao Wange, “Comrade Xiao, Fang Qiaoyu often speaks without thinking. She’s just a reckless and rude person. Don’t take her words seriously. Consider everything she just said as nonsense.”

Fang Qiaoyu: “……”

Frowning, she immediately disagreed with her husband.

She shoved Qi Jiancheng and shouted angrily, “What are you saying? Who’s reckless and rude? You bastard! Didn’t you just hear what Xiao Wange said to me?! She’s the truly rude one, not me!”

She opened her mouth, intending to roar at Xiao Wange some more.

But Qi Jiancheng glared at her, grinding his teeth and growling, “Enough! Fang Qiaoyu, how much more trouble are you going to cause me? Can’t you just behave like the other family members?! If you keep this up, we really will get a divorce!”

Hearing him speak so bluntly about divorce in front of outsiders—especially in front of Xiao Wange—Fang Qiaoyu felt utterly humiliated.

She gritted her teeth and clawed at Qi Jiancheng’s face. “You bastard! You say divorce again! You say divorce again, all because of that filthy Xiao Wange! Be honest, did you set your sights on her? Did you fall for her, this temptress? Qi Jiancheng, you bastard, aren’t you afraid of retribution!”

Many of the other family members were nearby, watching the drama unfold. Listening to Fang Qiaoyu’s accusations, they clicked their tongues and glanced at Xiao Wange.

The new wife of Commander Zhan really was unlucky—she had only just arrived, and Fang Qiaoyu was already holding a grudge against her. But indeed, Commander Zhan’s wife was beautiful. If Qi Jiancheng was captivated by her looks, it was somewhat understandable.

Qi Jiancheng’s face turned ashen.

Seeing the surrounding crowd staring, he felt completely humiliated.

He swatted Fang Qiaoyu away and, in the same motion, slapped her hard across the face. Her already bruised cheek instantly swelled.

Qi Jiancheng, full of anger, spoke each word sharply: “You’re hopeless! Fang Qiaoyu, today I will apply for a divorce. I truly cannot tolerate a woman like you. If I keep you, I’ll end up ruined by you for the rest of my life!”

With that, Qi Jiancheng quickly strode out of the family compound gate.

Fang Qiaoyu covered her swollen face, watching his retreating figure. She cried and shouted, “Qi Jiancheng, don’t think you can divorce me! I will never divorce you, even if I die!”

Seeing Xiao Wange standing to the side, watching the scene, she gritted her teeth and swung at her. “It’s all your fault, you filthy woman! You seduced Jiancheng! How can you be so vile? Because of you, I was driven out by the Zhu family, and now you even want to take my husband! Filthy woman, why don’t you just die? How can someone like you not die?!”

At this moment, she blamed everything on Xiao Wange. She already resented her, and after this latest incident, her hatred only grew.

Her eyes were bloodshot, full of a murderous glare.

The nearby family members rushed to stop her.

Fang Qiaoyu, restrained by them, became even more enraged, her hatred intensifying.

Struggling, she shouted at them, “Let me go! Today, I must tear apart that filthy Xiao Wange! That woman seduced my husband—I will never forgive her!”

Some family members, unable to tolerate her, frowned and said, “The new wife of Commander Zhan only arrived yesterday. How could she have had time to seduce Commander Qi? Besides, from what I see, Commander Zhan and his wife are very affectionate. Why would she betray him for Commander Qi? That makes no sense.”

Anyone with eyes could clearly see that Commander Zhan was far superior to Commander Qi.

Commander Zhan was not only younger but also more capable. Even though both men were currently regiment commanders, Zhan was about to be promoted further.

And in terms of appearance, Commander Qi couldn’t compete with Zhan. Zhan was dignified and handsome, arguably the most attractive man in the unit, while Qi was merely passable.

With these two men, anyone with sense would choose Commander Zhan.

So why would Zhan’s wife leave a good life to chase a man inferior to her husband? She wasn’t acting out of boredom.

But Fang Qiaoyu refused to listen.

She ground her teeth violently, eyes blazing, and shouted, “She’s filthy! She loves being filthy! A woman like her would even go for a beggar on the street! As long as he’s a man, she’d like him!”

The onlookers: “……” That was unbearably crude. She was basically saying Commander Zhan’s wife was promiscuous, lusting after any man.

The crowd silently disapproved of Fang Qiaoyu, thinking she was like a mad dog, biting whoever she could.

Xiao Wange’s gaze darkened.

She looked coldly at Fang Qiaoyu, ready to act. At that moment, Zhan Zeyan and a few others entered through the main gate.

Seeing so many people gathered, their brows furrowed slightly.

Among them were Commander He and his wife.

Commander He’s expression was stern. Scanning the crowd, he asked coldly, “What happened? Why is everyone gathered here?”
