Lin Nuan closed up the document, and her gaze followed the anxious Fang Yan.
“What’s the matter with Sister Yan? Why did she run out anxiously…” Lin Nuan looked toward Miss Xia and asked.
Miss Xia frowned and turned to look in Fang Yan’s direction. However, she could only see Fang Yan’s back view.
Although Miss Xia knew about Fang Yan’s private matters, it wouldn’t be nice for her to share them with others. She put out the ladies’ cigarette in her hand. “Maybe she has something urgent to attend to! I’ll go get a jacket for you…”
When Miss Xia went to get the jacket, she met the young lady who had spoken to Fang Yan earlier on. The young lady was holding the jacket that Miss Xia had hung up in her office for times of need.
Lin Nuan saw Miss Xia take the jacket from the young lady and then ask her what Fang Yan had gone to do. After hearing the young lady’s reply, her brows furrowed tightly.
After Miss Xia returned, she passed the jacket to Lin Nuan. Lin Nuan took it and thanked her. She then heard Miss Xia say, “It hasn’t been too peaceful in Fang Yan’s house these days. There have been some matters!”
Lin Nuan nodded and didn’t probe further after hearing Miss Xia’s words. If Fang Yan wished to tell her about her matters, she’d do so.
After discussing some potential adjustments to the show’s content with Miss Xia, Lin Nuan prepared to leave. It was then that she saw the young lady from earlier charging anxiously to the meeting room’s door. However, she didn’t dare recklessly push the door open and enter, so she was feeling so anxious that she was stomping her feet outside.
Lin Nuan got up, placed Miss Xia’s jacket on her chair’s backrest, put on her own coat, and opened the door. The young lady nodded and greeted Lin Nuan anxiously, then extended her neck to call for Miss Xia. “Miss Xia!”
Miss Xia, who was tidying up the documents on the table, raised her head. The young lady was anxious, but she still seemed to have some reservations. She lowered her voice and said, “Ms. Fang… They got into a fight!”
“What do you mean got into a fight?” Lin Nuan was perplexed. Fang Yan tended to go for a unisex style, and she gave off the feeling that she wasn’t someone to be trifled with amongst ladies. However, Lin Nuan had known Fang Yan for quite some time, and she knew that Fang Yan was someone who didn’t like troublesome things and creating trouble.
“Ms. Fang’s husband brought along her mother-in-law to create a fuss at the entrance. Ms. Fang only said a few words, and the old lady raised her hands against Ms. Fang. The security guards find it difficult to step in since the other party is an old lady!” explained the young lady.
Lin Nuan headed out, and You Nainai quickly followed…
The moment Miss Xia heard this, she threw down the documents in her hands and quickly headed toward the reception desk as well.
A huge racket had broken out at the agency’s reception area. The old lady, taking advantage of her age, tugged at Fang Yan’s hair and spoke viciously.
The security guards went up to grab hold of the old lady, but she shouted fiercely, “This is our family matter, you guys stay out of it! I’m telling you, I have heart disease! If any of you dares to lay a hand on me, causing me to fall, I’ll go stay in your homes! I’ll let you guys pay my medical fees, then take care of me, even giving me a proper burial upon my death!”
Some people were watching the show, some were taking photos, and the security guards who were a little helpless…
When Lin Nuan came out, she saw that the place was a mess. She then saw Fang Yan being pulled by the hair, which enraged her. “Why are you guys just standing there! Pull her away! We have surveillance cameras here! What’s there to be afraid of?”
With Lin Nuan giving the order, the security guards all went up to pull the old lady back.
“Don’t touch me! Do you believe that I’ll let whoever touches me be down on luck? Stop pulling me!”
Seeing this, Fang Yan’s husband finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. He went over to hold back his own mother, fearing that she’d be hurt. “Fang Yan, you’ve gone too far! How could you let the security guards raise their hands to an old lady? Where’s your filial piety?”
“Call the police!” Lin Nuan turned and said to an employee in the agency.
Even though Fang Yan had short hair, the old lady had tugged off quite a bit of it, and her hair was a mess. Her clothes were all messed up as well, and her face was filled with bloody marks left behind by the old lady’s nails. Lin Nuan took off her coat and put it on Fang Yan.
As if used to it all, Fang Yan’s calm and cold eyes looked at her husband and the old lady. She smiled coldly. “Filial piety… Did I grow up eating or drinking anything your mother gave me? She neither gave birth to me nor brought me up, so what’s with all the talk about filial piety? Have your brains been eaten by a dog?”
“Security guards, what are you guys doing? How can you let random cats or dogs inside?” Miss Xia was so angry that her voice cracked.
“Xia Cuifen! Who are you calling cats and dogs?” The countenance of Fang Yan’s husband turned cold.
“I’m talking about you and your mother!” What Miss Xia hated the most was other people calling out her name. “It’s an insult to cats and dogs to call the two of you that! What do you think you and your mother are? How dare you create trouble at our agency’s entrance!”
Miss Xia’s sharp gaze glanced toward the old lady. As if she had experienced how great Miss Xia was, she retracted her curses after seeing the sharp gaze. She said in a muffled voice, “What does this have to do with you? Who are you to interfere in our family matter?”
“You…”
Miss Xia was just about to speak up when Fang Yan stopped her.
Fang Yan looked at her husband and said in a cold voice, “I’ve already given you the divorce agreement. If you’re a man, then be decisive and pick a date for us to get the divorce certificate. Don’t bring your mom around to create a ruckus. In the end, not only will you not be able to get anything, but you’ll even earn a reputation for shamelessly having an extramarital affair yet still wanting to fight with your ex-wife for assets that don’t belong to you! You won’t be able to meet your son in the future either! Your child will feel embarrassed to have a father like you, who’s worse than a beast!”
The old lady pointed at Fang Yan and scolded, “Who’s shameless? Who’s a b*stard? Who’s a beast? Fang Yan, how dare you say such things! So what if my son had an extramarital affair? Look at yourself! You don’t look like a woman at all! You always wear those weird clothes! How different are you from a man? Any man who married you would be forced into having an extramarital affair!”
The old lady’s words caused everyone to start murmuring amongst themselves.
Fang Yan had only started dressing up in a unisex manner after their marriage. She had been busy juggling family and work. She couldn’t take care of all the trifling family matters, such as her child and husband’s daily living needs, concurrently work hard at work, and still take care of her long hair and image.
Society’s requirements for women were too high. Women were expected to be outstanding at work while still taking care of everyone in the family. They even needed to take care of their looks, constantly displaying a charming and energetic image. Despite that… men were still unable to take control of the lower half of their bodies and would engage in extramarital affairs. Some people would still find all sorts of excuses to push the blame onto women!
It was because of such monstrous perspectives held by most men and old women in society, that women were forced to a dead end and could only become warriors.
When the old lady looked at everyone’s expressions, she thought that they agreed with what she had said, so she spoke up even more confidently. “What were you when you first came to Haicheng? Your parents bought the house after your marriage, so my son has the rights to half of it! What gives you the right to hog it for yourselves? My son provided for your food and living expenses, but now that you’ve started your own agency and have become rich, you aren’t even giving him any money after the divorce! What right do you have to do that! I’m telling you, my son even has the rights to half of this agency! Do you think that you’re the only one who can be a boss? My son is also a boss!”
