Chapter 171: Apologize or Leave (1)   Wu Cailan interrupted Mr. Chen. She laughed and said condescendingly, “Mr. Chen, do you insist on defending Ye Tianxin today?”

“Yes, Madam Wu,” Mr. Chen replied seriously, his eyes narrowed. “You slapped Ye Tianxin in front of the entire class, and this has caused great damage to Tianxin’s emotional well-being. Don’t you think you should say something to alleviate this?”

Wu Cailan looked at Ye Tianxin haughtily. She was the mayor’s wife, and nobody dared to tell her what to do. She would not apologize to Ye Tianxin.

Was there anyone in the town of Jiameng who had not buttered up to Wu Cailan all these years?

Her husband was the mayor of the town.

Her son had received good grades ever since he was a child.

She had never suffered any setbacks until now...

“Mr. Chen,” Ye Tianxin softly spoke. Mr. Chen looked at Ye Tianxin, confused. “What’s the matter?” he asked.

“Can I speak with Madam Wu Cailan in private?”

Mr. Chen did not understand why Ye Tianxin wanted to do so, but he still left the room.

When Mr. Chen left, Ye Tianxin smiled sweetly at Wu Cailan. Then, without any warning, she raised her hand and slapped Wu Cailan’s face.

Wu Cailan was caught off guard. She was obviously not expecting this from Ye Tianxin. “You...you dare to hit me?”

Ye Tianxin shrugged. Yes, she dared. What Wu Cailan would do about it?

Wu Cailan immediately wanted to retaliate. However, Ye Tianxin stretched out her hand and slapped Wu Cailan once more.

“I not only dare to hit you. I also dare to hit you twice.”

Wu Cailan was completely shocked. She pointed a finger at Ye Tianxin while another hand held her cheek. She was too angry that she could not muster the right words to insult Ye Tianxin.

Wu Cailan was considered to be a very fashionable person in this small town. She wore red nail polish, and they looked very nice.

Ye Tianxin smiled. She looked satisfied at what she did.

“Madam Wu, do you know what you have lost when you slapped me earlier?”

Wu Cailan wanted to pull her hand away from Ye Tianxin’s grip, but Ye Tianxin held it tightly.

There was coldness in Ye Tianxin’s eyes, and Wu Cailan panicked for some reason. She was suddenly afraid. What would she lose?

“I won’t lose anything!”

“No. What you will lose is your marriage, your husband, and your son!”

Ye Tianxin smirked as she flung Wu Cailan’s hand away. She rubbed her face gently.

“Madam Wu, you should have thought things through carefully before you came to look for me, accused me, and hit me. What exactly have you done to make your son leave home without saying anything? You are wrong, and yet, you pin all of this on me. Do you think your husband will tolerate this?”

Wu Cailan did not understand men.

No, perhaps, it was because her life had always been smooth-sailing. She had forgotten what it meant to be cautious and prudent.

She did not know why Mayor Di had been so excited when he saw Ye Tianxin’s proposal.

There was not a single man who would reject this proposal.

It was because any man with a brain knew the benefits and recognitions the proposal would bring to him once it was implemented.

At the root of it all, men were all profit-driven beings.

If they could benefit from a certain thing, they would put in all they had and work hard for it.

Ye Tianxin could already guess what Mayor Di would do after what Wu Cailan had done today.

“Ye Tianxin, do you think that my husband will divorce me because of you? You’re too funny. My husband and I have been married for almost 20 years. I know what kind of person he is better than you!”

“Are you sure you know him well?”

Ye Tianxin sat down. She looked calm and composed, as if she did not care at all for Wu Cailan.

Indeed, not long after, Mayor Di received the news about what had happened and rushed into the office.
