Chapter 176: Throwing One’s Weight Around
Fu Mingxue glanced at Xu Ming and said flatly, "She’s deliberately causing trouble. Please call someone from the Security Department to handle this."
The moment Xu Ming heard this woman was deliberately picking a fight with Group Leader Fu, his gaze turned hostile.
"I’ll go get them right now. Stay safe."
With that, he hurried off.
Bo Xue, however, was absolutely livid at the man’s words.
’What does he mean, "Stay safe"? Who exactly is he telling to be safe?’
’Is this guy blind or something?’
’Can’t he see who’s the one getting hit?’
Still, it was fine if they called the Security Department. ’I’ll have them arrest this bitch.’
Bo Xue was so furious this time that she didn’t notice how Xu Ming had addressed Fu Mingxue.
She shot Fu Mingxue a venomous glare.
"You bitch! Just you wait. I won’t let you get away with this. You dared to hit me, and you’re going to pay the price."
Fu Mingxue’s eyes were like ice. Without a moment’s hesitation, she slapped her twice more.
"Watch your mouth. Curse at me again, and I’ll knock your teeth out."
’Can’t believe I ran into an idiot like this just trying to eat. What a jinx.’
"You, you—" Bo Xue’s eyes widened in disbelief.
’She couldn’t believe it. Even now, the bitch still dared to hit her.’
After taking four slaps from Fu Mingxue, her face was already red and swollen. Fu Mingxue was strong to begin with, and she hadn’t held back at all.
Of course it was swollen.
"Go stand aside."
Faced with such overwhelming force, Bo Xue actually cowered, terrified of being hit again. She didn’t dare to step forward and fight back.
Fu Mingxue ignored her and sat back down.
’If she didn’t eat the food she’d just gotten, it would get cold.’
Bo Xue was stunned. ’This bitch is just sitting down to eat like nothing happened.’
’How can she have an appetite?’
"You, you—"
Fu Mingxue looked up and sneered. "I’d advise you to stand aside. Otherwise, there’s no telling how badly I’ll beat you."
Bo Xue was so enraged by this that she saw red.
"Are you only bullying me because your husband’s a regiment commander?"
At these words, Fu Mingxue stopped eating. She looked up at the woman before her and let out a cold laugh. "So you really did run into me on purpose, and now you’re falsely accusing me of throwing my weight around. Are you targeting me specifically? Or are you targeting my husband?"
Bo Xue put on an aggrieved expression and shouted:
"Who’s targeting you? You’re the one who hit me! I just accidentally bumped into you, and you beat my face like this! If that isn’t throwing your weight around, what is?"
She spoke loudly, making sure everyone else eating in the cafeteria could hear her.
She was from the Publicity Department, so she knew just how important public perception was. ’I’m going to destroy this woman’s reputation. I’ll make sure she can’t stay at this factory.’
Hearing the sudden shrillness in her voice, Fu Mingxue knew exactly what little game she was playing.
She laughed coldly and spoke in a slow, deliberate voice. "You claim you don’t know me, yet you happen to know my husband is a regiment commander. Out of all the people here, you just had to deliberately run into me. Your objective seems pretty clear."
"And another thing—why did I hit you? Because you deliberately accused me of stealing another woman’s man. Who could possibly tolerate that without hitting you? Still, I’d love to know, how did I steal someone’s man? Who is this ’other woman’? And who is this man?"
"You aren’t talking about my husband, are you?"
Bo Xue, goaded into a fury, shrieked, "Shameless! How dare you even mention your husband? Didn’t you steal him from someone else using your filthy tricks?"
