The Chinese New Year season was over, and all the staff in various departnts had already returned to work. Besides Chen Lixue, the Liang sisters had also eagerly awaited this day.
As long as Liang Weimin did not go to work, they would not be able to see him. As long as they had not gotten their hands on the money, their tuition fees would remain unpaid. Throughout the New Year, their worried hearts were hung up about this.
As soon as everyone began returning to work, Liang Xinyi eagerly asked Chen Lixue to stand guard at the gate of the Supervisory Bureau. Unfortunately, the beginning of spring in Jingdu brought a wave of cold winds. Chen Lixue had been living the life of a wealthy madam for a few good months, and after less than two hours of waiting, she began growing impatient.
She eyed every one of the people who ca in and out of the gate of the Supervisory Bureau, all while shivering in the cold wind, yet she did not see Liang Weimin’s silhouette even until it was ti to break for lunch.
At noon, Liang Danyi ca over to swap shifts with her mother. Chen Lixue was cold and hungry, and a fire was burning in her chest. Every single bad mory from the past had resurfaced in her mind, and she rudely lost her temper at Liang Danyi.
“I told you to follow your father back then, but you refused. And now that you need money, I’m the one who has to go looking for him? What’s the use of raising you all these years!”
She had two daughters—one only knew how to ask for money, while the other had such an awful reputation—and neither of them had the value for secondary use. And it was all because she had to raise her daughters that her life as a wealthy madam had ended!
Liang Danyi looked absolutely aggrieved. Her mother and sister had ssed things up that led to their unfortunate plight, yet her mother was now putting all the bla on her when she was the most innocent one in all of this!
The Supervisory Bureau did not accept visitors, especially those without appointnts. Chen Lixue tried to stop a few people to question them, but they rely responded by saying that he was either busy working or stuck in a eting. In contrast, so simply said he had already left for the day, and she never caught a glimpse of Liang Weimin’s silhouette all day.
Two days had passed, and still, they could not catch the man. Forget about how distressed Liang Danyi was—seeing as she was about to start school and had no money to sign up for classes, as their livelihood beca more and more challenging to maintain, Chen Lixue started to panic too. She imdiately ran up to the gate of the Supervisory Bureau and started shouting.
Yun Xi was a little surprised when she suddenly received a call from Han Zhongteng. Then, as she heard him asking her to go by the Supervisory Bureau to watch the unraveling of a good show, she imdiately understood what was going on.
There was a circle of people watching the excitent at the entrance of the Supervisory Bureau. Chen Lixue was showing off her distasteful countrywoman allure to cause a stir that attracted many civil servants in the bureau to gather and watch. Even the ard police officer standing guard at the door who had stepped forward to stop her ended up getting his face scratched by her.
“Go away! Get lost! All of You! I demand to et your deputy director, Liang Weimin! I’m his wife! I want to see him right now!”
The two ard policen were holding down Chen Lixue, and no matter how hard she tried to struggle, she couldn’t break free, so she simply raised her head and shouted into the office building.
“I want to see Liang Weimin! I’m his wife…”
“Our director has long been divorced. So who is she to call herself his wife?”
“Could she be a lunatic who’s here to cause trouble?”
“Look at her. She’s like those madwon cursing on the streets. But, on the other hand, she may be a lunatic who’s escaped from a psych ward!”
There was a lot of chatter around. After Chen Lixue roughly heard what they were saying, her face was white with anger. She imdiately stood up and charged toward the gossiping crowd, only to be pressed back down on the ground by the two ard policen.
“You’re the lunatic!” Chen Lixue glared at the people gossiping about her, and she shouted toward the building. “Liang Weimin, you better get out here! I’ll dish out all your shaful deeds if you don’t co out!”
“Liang Weimin, get your stinking a** out here right now!”
No matter how loudly Chen Lixue shouted, no one ca out of the office building. Instead, there were quite a number of figures who suddenly appeared by the windows to watch the commotion downstairs.
Coincidentally, Liang Weimin happened to be away today, which saved him the trouble of facing this embarrassing and humiliating situation.
“This woman is sick in the head! Hurry up and call the police!”
“The ard police at the gates have already called for backup!”
A few minutes later, the police car siren was heard at the entrance. By the ti she realized what was happening, she had already been handcuffed and was dragged into the car.
On the road outside, away from the crowd, a black car had stayed parked for a long ti. Sitting in the back seat, Yun Xi slowly wound up the car window, then she turned around and glanced at Han Zhongteng casually. “So, this was the good show you wanted to watch?”
