From Folly to Fortune:I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!
Chapter 1200 - 1196: Conflict on the Street (Third Update)
Lu Yuanfeng’s words stirred up Mu Shuangshuang’s endless longing; before, she was in Yulin County, and the distance was too far.
Now she’s back in town, but she can’t immediately rush home.
Mu Shuangshuang steadied herself and smiled at Lu Yuanfeng, "Fengzi, let’s buy more stuff when we go back later, fabrics and small snacks and such.
And let’s get two mosquito nets; your room and Yuanbao’s room don’t have mosquito nets, and I’m afraid the mosquitoes will bite at night!"
Last time Mu Shuangshuang tidied up Lu Yuanfeng’s room, she originally planned to buy mosquito nets for Lu Yuanfeng immediately, but a lot happened later, disrupting Mu Shuangshuang’s plans.
"Okay! Should I go buy the mosquito nets and food first? Watermelons and peaches and such, should I get some? And bring some of the pastries we make at the shop?"
"Sure! But take a rest before going out, there’s no rush." Mu Shuangshuang said.
The two looked at each other affectionately, completely ignoring Xia Guagua, who came looking for trouble.
She was both angry and anxious, unable to understand why Lu Yuanfeng wouldn’t even glance at her, even though she was richer and more beautiful than Mu Shuangshuang, who she despised.
Xia Guagua couldn’t believe Lu Yuanfeng was so cold towards her. She composed herself and approached Lu Yuanfeng again, "Brother Yuanfeng, why are you ignoring me?"
This time, however, before she could get close to Lu Yuanfeng, Mu Shuangshuang blocked her with a hand.
Mu Shuangshuang said, "Manager Xia, please stand right here and keep your distance! In matters like these, it’s best to avoid suspicion!"
"You..." Xia Guagua was furious, nearly spitting blood, and glared fiercely at Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t care less about her, as long as she didn’t try to touch Fengzi or get involved with him, she wouldn’t go too far.
But if she dared to covet her man with an unyielding heart, she’d tear her to pieces!
Mu Shuangshuang went back on stage to continue her storytelling, but this time, she sped up and simplified the content significantly.
Once she finished, there was still enough daylight left to go out and buy some fabric to make clothes for her parents.
Xia Guagua watched Lu Yuanfeng the entire time, her eyes so tender they seemed to flow like water.
Such shamelessness naturally infuriated Mrs. Bai upstairs, who wanted to rush down several times to scold Xia Guagua, but Cheng Dagang held her back. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"Honey, you should reconsider. Aren’t you in your forties or fifties now, not a young girl? If you scold that ugly woman, those people down there will surely accuse you of abusing your age to bully young girls!"
"So what if I’m abusing my age? That vile girl reeks of fox-like cunning, and she’s daring to seduce Fengzi right in front of Shuangshuang. You can stand it; I can’t!
Don’t you remember how I dealt with those women who tried to seduce you?"
Mrs. Bai was once a young official’s daughter in the Capital.
Cheng Dagang was a renowned Great General, and even after they married, many women still tried to interfere with their relationship, hoping to become his concubine or mistress.
Mrs. Bai would always beat those women severely, and because of those past experiences, even now older, she still despises women like Xia Guagua.
"I know, I know! But this is the little girl’s own problem, let her handle it herself! Think about it, would you have appreciated others meddling in our past issues?"
Cheng Dagang’s words silenced Mrs. Bai.
Indeed, back then, even with those women clinging to her husband like flies, she preferred to resolve it herself.
Forget it; she won’t interfere.
Still, Mrs. Bai couldn’t take her eyes off Xia Guagua.
Once the crowd at the restaurant dispersed, Mu Shuangshuang stepped down from the platform.
She and Lu Yuanfeng headed outside the restaurant.
When passing Xia Guagua, neither paid her any attention, particularly Mu Shuangshuang, who deliberately blocked any contact between Xia Guagua and Lu Yuanfeng with her body.
After walking a while, they realized Xia Guagua was following them.
Mu Shuangshuang was immediately blunt, addressing Xia Guagua, "Xia Guagua, just now at the restaurant, I was respectful to you. Now that we’ve left the restaurant, shouldn’t you stop following Fengzi and me?"
"Following you? Are you mistaken? There are so many people coming and going on this street; just walking in the same direction as you is following you? Why don’t you just say the whole street is following you?"
Xia Guagua’s face was full of arrogance, determined to embarrass Mu Shuangshuang and make her lose face in this busy street.
Mu Shuangshuang replied, "I would never be as shameless as you to say such a thing!"
Xia Guagua retorted, "Mu Shuangshuang, after all this time, you’re still the same, only knowing how to play the victim in front of Brother Yuanfeng!
Aren’t you angry? Why don’t you hit me? You’re just pretending, fooling yourself!"
Mu Shuangshuang gave Xia Guagua a big eye-roll; is this person insane?
Why would she suggest she hit her?
Lu Yuanfeng opened his mouth, intending to scold Xia Guagua, but Mu Shuangshuang pinched his back.
Clearly, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t want him involved.
She wanted to see what tricks Xia Guagua had up her sleeve.
Mu Shuangshuang curled her lips into a smile, motioning for Xia Guagua to continue speaking, or rather, continue her performance!
"Mu Shuangshuang, if you hadn’t blocked my path to Brother Yuanfeng, he would definitely be mine!" Xia Guagua deliberately said to provoke Mu Shuangshuang.
Next to them, Lu Yuanfeng’s face darkened because of this statement.
If not for Shuangshuang’s hint, he would definitely let Xia Guagua, this shameless woman, know his true feelings!
Lu Yuanfeng looked at Shuangshuang, hoping she wouldn’t stop him.
But Mu Shuangshuang shook her head, "Fengzi, just watch from the side, don’t stoop to the level of such people; once they cling to you, you won’t be able to shake them off!"
All of Xia Guagua’s provocations aimed to anger Mu Shuangshuang enough to hit her.
If successful, she could let everyone on this street know just how uncouth and vulgar Mu Shuangshuang truly was!
However, despite all her provocations, Mu Shuangshuang refused to hit her.
Xia Guagua grew impatient.
She quickly stepped forward, grabbed Mu Shuangshuang’s hand, and shouted, "Sister-in-law, don’t hit me! I know I’m wrong; Brother Yuanfeng is my brother. How could I like him? I’m wrong..."
It’s undeniable that Xia Guagua was cunning, knowing how to block the view of the crowd with her body.
So, from the crowd’s perspective, it seemed as though Mu Shuangshuang was indeed about to hit Xia Guagua.
With the drama playing out right on the street, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t hold back; she broke free from Xia Guagua’s grip and slapped her with two loud slaps, one on each side, with all her strength!
Xia Guagua was stunned by Mu Shuangshuang’s actions; those slaps were so sudden that Xia Guagua could barely react.
