Reborn as the Villain's Wife, I Shine in 80s-Chapter 481 - 466 Return to Hometown Gloriously (4)

Ji Qin noticed that everyone’s gaze had shifted from Tian Sangsang to her, and she instantly felt so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide. She had never thought there was anything wrong with wearing lipstick, but today, in comparison to Tian Sangsang, she realized Tian Sangsang’s lips were naturally red without any makeup, making her look like a clown from the theater.

Especially with a handsome man present, as his indifferent gaze brushed past her, her cheeks burned with embarrassment. She was so furious she almost fainted, with her face turning pale: "What nonsense are you spouting! Yes, I’m wearing lipstick, but I didn’t leave the mark!"

The woman who had spoken earlier felt a bit awkward seeing Ji Qin’s outburst. She hadn’t meant it on purpose; she was just stating facts, even if she used her as an example.

Hua Jun frowned slightly, "Let’s not argue anymore. This matter really has nothing to do with Boss Tian, and I also believe Boss Tian was wronged." She gestured with her hand, "Since the misunderstanding is cleared up, let’s get back to work."

"Wait, you stay right there," Jiang Jinghuai stopped her, speaking in a deep voice, "The conduct of these two people is highly questionable; you’d better take them back for investigation."

Hu Yiping and the man were shocked.

Tian Sangsang looked at Hua Jun, her eyes gently swirling, and followed Jiang Jinghuai’s words, "In the military, there is military discipline; in society, there are rules too. If everyone could just break into others’ houses at will, hurl abuse, beat people, and accuse others falsely, society would be in chaos. Inspector Hua, since you’re in charge of this area, you should investigate thoroughly and give us, the people, an explanation, otherwise, we’ll be disappointed."

Hua Jun was choked for a moment and then said, "Boss Tian is right. I also bear responsibility for the trouble caused to you these past few days." She raised her hand, "You two, take them away."

Some who had caused a big fuss earlier saw the two being arrested and wisely kept quiet, vowing never to follow the trend blindly again.

"No, no, you can’t arrest me!" Hu Yiping panicked!

The man was also shocked: "You can’t arrest me! I was told it was just acting, and I wouldn’t be arrested! This isn’t my fault; I was instructed by someone! Inspector Hua, I’m innocent!"

Tian Sangsang’s lips curled slightly, as expected.

"Oh?" Hua Jun raised her lowered eyes, seemingly surprised, "Speak out the truth, and our department will handle it impartially."

The man glanced at Hua Jun and then shifted his gaze, "I’ll say it, it was Boss Ji!"

The crowd was in an uproar, and their gaze upon Ji Qin changed again, full of disdain and contempt.

"The lipstick mark really was made by Boss Ji, and it’s very similar to her lip shape."

"Last time Boss Ji caused trouble for Boss Tian’s place, and now she’s sending people again, she’s really got a malicious heart."

"..."

Ji Qin’s face turned green with anger at the man’s words, "You’re slandering me!"

"I’m not slandering you!" the man shouted, "These rumors and hearsay were spread by Boss Ji, and she seduced me. She told me to enter through Boss Tian’s shop’s back door, so my wife could catch the act being caught in the act. That way, if I insisted, Boss Tian’s reputation would be ruined, and Yi Pin Xiang Ju couldn’t continue running!"

By this point, everything was crystal clear.

Hua Jun blandly turned her head, "Boss Ji, do you have anything to say?"

Ji Qin, grasping like a drowning person for a lifeline, desperately looked at Hua Jun, still stubbornly denying, "Inspector Hua, it really wasn’t me, this man is deliberately tarnishing my reputation! Without evidence, you can’t arrest me!"

Indeed, it’s all just talk without evidence, who knows if it’s true or not. The man suddenly pointed at Ji Qin, "I am the evidence, having me is enough!"

Some around echoed, "Boss Ji truly has questionable conduct; we’ve witnessed it ourselves." At this point, even the bystanders were getting fed up, remembering what happened during the allergy incident recently. Ever since Ji Qin came to this street, it’s been a mess, and there are often disturbances and foul words.

At this moment, someone rushed out from the crowd, throwing an egg at Ji Qin’s face, "Ji Qin, you scummy merchant, when are you going to pay our wages?!"

Ji Qin screamed, not expecting it, and got hit with egg liquid all over her face.

"Young man, are your wages overdue?"

The young man took advantage of the crowd, seeking justice, "We’ve been working hard in Ji Qin’s factory, and Ji Qin’s goods are piled up, with wages owed for two months. She often makes us work overtime, and even beats and scolds us at times!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

The man cautiously asked, "Inspector Hua, does this mean I don’t have to go in?" He had already confessed about Ji Qin, so he shouldn’t have to be arrested, right?

Hua Jun’s expressionless face remained, "Take all three of them away for investigation." She casually glanced at Ji Qin, who initially wanted to resist but suddenly had a flash of insight. With the factory’s employees in turmoil, following Hua Jun could temporarily evade responsibility; not to mention she and Hua Zifeng were in the same boat, and they would protect her.

Hua Jun left with the people, and the moment she turned, her palms were sweaty, and even her breathing became difficult with cold sweat dripping from her forehead.

It was her first time feeling so embarrassed; she had made a wasted trip today, achieving nothing, like being a spectacle for others. A voice kept shouting at her mind, it’s over, it’s over, Hua Jun, you’re finished. She hadn’t expected Jiang Jinghuai to return today and witnessed everything; she also didn’t expect public opinion to change so quickly due to Jiang Jinghuai’s return.

She didn’t even dare to look at Jiang Jinghuai’s eyes before making a hasty retreat. Anyone with a bit of sense could see today’s matter wasn’t simple, let alone Jiang Jinghuai. He must have figured it out, must have.

What would he think of her? 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Her image in his heart might really turn into that of a scheming woman.

More than two decades of affection might end because of today’s events.

For the first time, she had the urge to cry, having cried so few times over these twenty-odd years.

After Hua Jun left, only then did Ye Binyi come forward from not far away, she happened to come here and happened to see what had happened earlier.

"Jinghuai." Ye Binyi, pleasantly surprised, looked her son up and down, chiding him, "You’re back, why didn’t you say anything? Let’s go home, Sangsang, come along too."

Tian Sangsang shook her head lightly, "You two go ahead, I still need to watch over the shop."

Ye Binyi’s expression turned sour in an instant, and Jiang Jinghuai felt as if his heart was being pounded back to its core. People who were about to leave almost dropped their jaws hearing this. It wasn’t Boss Tian being kicked out by the husband’s family, but rather, Boss Tian was so busy with business that she didn’t even have time to go back!
