Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

The lecturer was so angry she wanted to point at the door and shout, "Are you wreaking havoc here? Get out right now!"

So frustrated, yet she had to maintain a gentle smile.

"Let’s follow what ’The Book of Changes’ tells us, to respond to constant change with constancy. When you’re old, will you still be able to hit people? Your aggressive behavior diminishes your moral integrity, but your wife, being gentle and forbearing, offsets your karmic debt. That’s why a woman’s gentleness is the foundation of the family’s success."

Though the theory seemed well-rounded, some clever folks noticed something was off. Even Qian’s mom, a not-so-bright middle-aged woman, started to ponder: was this master saying that women endure lifelong abuse, only to return accumulated blessings to their men?

Why is that?

Just because a man has a certain anatomy, women have to endure everywhere?

Seeing the timing was right, Qian decided to stand up and end this farce, intending to confront this old fraud with knowledge. However, just as she was about to get up, a voice came from the back row.

"Damn! You’ve twisted Zhou Yi into such a mess; the ancestors have probably flipped in their coffins!" The woman’s voice wasn’t particularly loud, but it was enough for everyone in the room to hear. Qian thought the voice sounded familiar.

"Women should avoid foul language; it’s damaging to your moral integrity—ah!" The lecturer hadn’t finished speaking when something flew precisely from the back row and hit her right on the head, breaking with a crash like a paper bag.

Looking at the lecturer on the stage, it was hilarious.

Her head was covered in octopus takoyaki, with two steaming pieces hanging in her hair, her face smeared with takoyaki’s mayonnaise. The original bag was broken and hung around her neck, showing that whoever threw it had a powerful arm, hitting the target precisely from such a distance. They must have practiced!

Qian turned around and looked, oh, it was her!

Wasn’t it Chang Xiangsi who had piqued her curiosity before? How did she appear here?

Chang Xiangsi strode forward, first nodded and smiled at Qian and Qian’s mom, then turned her head and switched to a stern expression at the woman she had hit.

"Traditional culture has been gradually forgotten because of amateurs like you creating chaos. You dare to mislead without understanding? You only know the words ’Heaven and Earth’ from Zhou Yi, assuming it means male superiority and female inferiority. I spit on that! Its true purpose is to convey that men and women are distinct, a natural distinction. How did you fame-chasers misunderstand this?"

Wow, she stole my lines! Qian smacked her lips, awkwardly sat back.

This truly is impossible to handle; Chang Xiangsi is an expert in this field, it seems like she can take a break now.

The lecturer was left speechless after being confronted by Chang Xiangsi; she thought to herself, why are there so many troublemakers today? That young lady claimed to be some doctor just now, and now there’s another spouting Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang, seems hard to deal with!

The lecturer cleaned off the takoyaki and the sauce from her face, frustrated, her hairstyle all ruined, yet still trying to maintain her self-proclaimed elegant smile; otherwise, she’d be slapping her own face, as she had said women need to be docile.

So she took a deep breath, "Male superiority is a thought passed down by our ancestors. Friend, why use violence to create karmic debt and damage your moral integrity?"

"Gosh! You people have ruined ancestral treasures, using religion to curse others, first insulting ancestors, then destroying religious images, cursing everyone with retribution—those who don’t follow you are doomed? Have you comprehended the concept of compassion? Let me teach you: The principle of ’Heaven is vigorous, self-improvement; Earth is vast, capable of bearing’ isn’t telling women to merely comply. It says men should have noble character, and naturally, women will respect them. There’s no superiority or inferiority, just a cosmic principle. Don’t be brainwashed by this fraud’s nonsense; women should strive tirelessly to transform unsatisfying lives, that’s how Zhou Yi intends to respond to constant change with constancy!"

Chang Xiangsi’s words echoed exactly what Qian had in mind; though she had wanted to retaliate similarly, her approach wasn’t through Zhou Yi like Chang Xiangsi. Qian originally intended to use her own expertise, but since Mrs Chang took action, there was nothing for Qian to do. But Qian couldn’t just sit back watching; finally, something fun was happening, how could she not enthusiastically join?

So Qian shouted at the top of her lungs, "Fraud! We want our money back!"

"Yeah! Refund!" Qian’s mom chimed in, and more people joined the chant.

Stirring the crowd is our specialty!

This session was totally disrupted by Qian and Chang Xiangsi’s interventions, leading to chaos.

People tend to follow the crowd; when one shouted for a refund, others quickly joined in, the lecturer seeing she couldn’t control the situation, tried to sneak off the stage, but Chang Xiangsi wouldn’t let her escape, she grabbed her by the collar and pinned her back on the platform, causing a gasp from Da Long.

"Wow! Who is this lady, using moves like expert shoulder locks!"

Qian shot him a look, "Calling her lady, you’re messing up generations! Address her as Auntie!"

"Qian’er, how are generations determined?" Qian’s mom asked while keeping an eye on the commotion on stage.

"She’s my mentor’s sister, so she’s my maternal aunt."

"Ah, that works, no charges for future consultations!"

While this mother-daughter trio was talking, Chang Xiangsi was holding the lecturer’s arm and admonishing.

"What kind of lecturer are you, from which school, speak!"

"I graduated from RD’s philosophy department—ah!" The lecturer let out a scream as Chang Xiangsi increased the pressure.

"Don’t insult my alma mater; our school doesn’t produce half-baked students like you. Spill it! Or I’ll dislocate your shoulder!"

"Don’t hit me, I’ll say! I’m just a regular high school graduate who read a few books and felt gains I wanted to share with everyone..."

The crowd clamored, gosh, a fraud!

Immediately, there was a ruckus of shouting for refunds, some people calling the police. The event organizers, hearing the noise inside, sent in a few to manage the situation, but faced with the ferocity of deceived middle-aged women, they were caught off guard, scratched all over by them. Qian’s mom took the lead, feeling her 888 ticket was too unjustified.

A guard wanted to hit Qian’s mom, Da Long kicked him down with a spin kick, discouraging other guards from approaching. The boisterous group of mothers refused to back down, causing the lecturer to hide under the table.

Soon, the police arrived, and Qian’s mom, with other wronged mothers, surrounded the people firmly, resolute for a refund before considering backing off. Meanwhile, Qian stood afar, enjoying the show.

Going out is great; not only expanding knowledge and vision but also witnessing such an amusing spectacle, truly delightful.
