Feng Lu's brother, Feng Wei, witnesses her husband's infidelity. Though hurt, Feng Lu decides not to confront him directly but vows to deal with the other woman, Chunxia, herself. Chunxia, fearing reprisal, tries to flee her rented room but is cornered by Feng Lu, who demands answers about her relationship with Feng Lu's husband.

As soon as she heard that, Xu Chunxia couldn’t hold it in anymore. She dragged her two big suitcases out from the gate, face grim, met Feng Lu’s gaze and said, "I kept my distance from you because I don’t want to be tangled with trouble, but that’s no reason for you to attack me."

"Did I say anything wrong? Then tell me where you work?"

Feng Lu folded her arms over her chest, not the least bit unhappy on her face.

"Where I work has nothing to do with you. If you keep saying I don’t have a proper job, that just shows your heart is dirty—so you see everything as dirty."

Xu Chunxia braved her fear of Feng Lu and said, "I might as well tell you—I really don’t have any kind of relationship with your husband, but you insist there’s something between us, so all I can say is I once met him briefly at a dinner party. The reason I was with him today is because I found out a secret about him..."

Feng Lu: "A secret? What secret?"

"At the dinner party, your husband said he had a family, that things were going well with his wife. But before today, I just happened to run into him with a pregnant woman at the department store,

From how they acted, it didn’t seem like they were married, so I went up to say hi, chatted a bit, found out the woman, the one pregnant and standing with your husband today,

She’s actually a canary your husband keeps outside the house. And I, because I ran into some trouble and needed money lately, asked your husband for help. He refused, so

I went to his company today just to find him. I told him if he wouldn’t help me, I’d tell you about his canary. Simple as that. Before we finished talking, you showed up. Now, what else do you want to know?"

There were both truths and lies mixed in—Xu Chunxia was clever for once.

"Are you sure you’re not lying to me?"

Feng Lu wasn’t fully convinced.

"Everything I said is true. If you don’t believe me, ask your husband."

Xu Chunxia was sure Han Bin wouldn’t deny what she said.

Having an affair was already enough to damage his marriage. If his wife found out he’d even had a fling in Shen City, it would only deepen the cracks.

Maybe even cause a divorce.

Xu Chunxia could see it—in the moment Feng Lu appeared, Han Bin’s eyes were filled with nervousness, guilt, and a touch of unease.

Clearly, he cares about his marriage. How could he wreck the Great Wall for her?

"Then why did you hide as soon as you saw me?"

Feng Lu believed about seventy percent of Xu Chunxia’s story.

"I told you, I just don’t like trouble. You’ve got a powerful family—suddenly you find your husband has a woman outside, and it just so happened I was standing with him, who knows you wouldn’t suspect I have something with your husband too? Thinking that, as soon as I got back to my rental, I hurried to pack and decided to avoid you. Because, if you want to crush me, it’d be as easy as squashing an ant."

Xu Chunxia kept her eyes down as she spoke. Hearing that, Feng Lu sneered coldly, "Well, at least you know your place. But I still don’t like you!"

And with that, Feng Lu raised her hand and slapped Xu Chunxia across the face.

Getting slapped, Xu Chunxia was furious. She glared at Feng Lu: "You’re just bullying me because you have power!"

"Smack!"

Another slap. Feng Lu said arrogantly, "That’s right, I am bullying you. What can you do about it?"

She went up, grabbed Xu Chunxia’s hair, and with a chilling voice said, "Dressed up all slutty like this, you think you’re a decent woman?"

She patted Xu Chunxia’s face, eyes full of disdain: "Trash like you shouldn’t even show your face in public. Listen up—if you don’t want to get slapped every time I see you, you’d better get the hell out of North City!"

"You... Who are you to drive me out of North City? North City doesn’t belong to you!"

Poisonous bitch! What did she ever do to her?

She wants her out of North City—why not just drop dead?!

Xu Chunxia raged inside, cursing in her heart!

"Because I don’t like you, and because you’re trash. Are those two reasons enough?"

Feng Lu pulled her hand back, raised her chin, and said, "You’ve got two days. If you’re not at the train station in two days, no matter where you hide, I’ll find you. Then you can guess what’s waiting for you."

Before Xu Chunxia could reply, Feng Lu leaned in and lowered her voice: "I’ll sell you off. Maybe to some mountain village to bear kids, maybe overseas for someone’s pleasure—I’ll have to think about that."

With those words, Feng Lu turned and walked toward the alley, but her voice came back, "Don’t think I’m bluffing!"
