Chapter 177: Why Should She Let Others Ruin Her Reputation?
"I used dirty tricks to steal a man from someone? Based on that accusation alone, if you can’t produce any evidence today, you’re not walking out of here."
Bo Xue scoffed, "What do you mean I have no evidence? If it weren’t for your despicable methods, she would have married Qin Tuan."
Fu Mingxue narrowed her eyes. "This ’she’ you’re talking about... are you referring to yourself?"
Bo Xue’s eyes instantly reddened with fury.
"What do you mean, ’myself’? Don’t talk nonsense! I’m married! The man you stole belongs to my cousin, Ruan Hongfei. If it weren’t for you, my cousin would have married Qin Wenhao long ago."
From the moment the woman accused her of stealing someone’s man, Fu Mingxue already had a good idea who had sent her to stir up trouble.
Now that her suspicions were confirmed, she almost laughed out of sheer exasperation.
’I really didn’t expect this—that Ruan Hongfei works fast.’
’We only met for the first time this morning, and she’s already sent a pawn to cause trouble.’
’It’s a wonder this woman was watching me so closely, to be able to rush over the very moment I was late for my meal.’
"Since you want to play it this way, fine. In a little while, I’ll have the Security Department file a report at the police station. And while we’re at it, we can have them bring your ’dear’ cousin over for a confrontation. Oh, and they can also go to the military base to inform my husband to come over."
Fu Mingxue didn’t really have the time for this.
But when it came to a matter of her reputation, she wasn’t afraid to waste a little time.
"You—you’re shameless! You actually want to call the police—" Bo Xue’s expression was one of utter disbelief.
’How dare this bitch call the police?’
’Does she think she’s justified in stealing someone’s man?’
However, the mention of the police still made her panic.
She had only gotten into the engine factory with great difficulty, and she’d even landed a cushy job in the Publicity Department.
’If this whole thing blows up—what if I lose my job?’
At this thought, a hint of panic finally appeared on her face. "Forget it. I won’t bicker with you. After all, I’m not shameless like you—"
Tossing that line out, she prepared to leave.
The moment Fu Mingxue saw her trying to flee, she moved quick as a flash and grabbed her long braid.
With a sharp tug, she yanked the woman right back in front of her.
"Trying to run? Too late. You’re staying right here until the police arrive."
Bo Xue never expected her to pull a move like that.
Her scalp screamed in pain. "Aah, let me go—"
But Fu Mingxue had no intention of letting her go.
’After this woman caused such a scene—if this isn’t cleared up on the spot, what will be left of my reputation in this factory?’
’Not that I care that much.’
’But why should I let someone else ruin my reputation?’
’Why should I have to endure people pointing fingers and gossiping about me?’
’Why should I let someone slander me without consequence?’
’This wasn’t my fault, so I refuse to suffer for it in vain.’
"I’m telling you, you think you can slander someone and just run off? You’ve picked the wrong person for that. Now, stay put. Otherwise, I don’t mind getting physical to make you cooperate."
"You—" Bo Xue was fuming.
But her long braid was still gripped tightly in that woman’s hand.
It left her completely helpless.
At this point, she was filled with regret. ’If I had known this woman was such a handful, I never would have stuck my neck out for Ruan Hongfei.’
The other people eating in the canteen didn’t know how to intervene.
Just then, Xu Ming arrived with members of the Security Department.
Seeing the state Fu Mingxue was in, he immediately asked with concern, "Is she bullying you again?"
Bo Xue’s face instantly flushed with anger.
’Does this man need to get his eyes checked?’
She immediately shouted for help to the Security Department officers, "Quick, save me! Arrest this woman, she’s attacking me—"
