Chapter 384: Chapter 380: Villagers Gather to Watch

The villagers walked over just in time to hear Xu Wenwan’s words.

Their gossipy eyes darted back and forth between the people involved, clearly eager to know what was happening. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Gu Jiaojiao, however, grew even more furious.

"What did you say? What do you mean Leng Yuan isn’t my man? Xu Wenwan, have you no shame? My husband and I are already married, and you still have feelings for him! You’re absolutely shameless."

Xu Wenwan was livid too.

How dare Gu Jiaojiao curse at her.

’This is the book *she* wrote! How dare a villainess like Gu Jiaojiao insult the protagonist!’

"Did I say anything wrong? If the plot hadn’t been rewritten, you never would have married Leng Yuan in this lifetime! What’s there to be smug about? Once the plot is back on track, he’ll divorce you sooner or later."

All Xu Wenwan needed to do was absorb enough fortune, and the plot would return to its original course. When that day came, Leng Yuan would naturally abandon Gu Jiaojiao.

Gu Jiaojiao was seething. She strode forward and slapped Xu Wenwan hard across the face.

’She’d been wanting to do that for a long time.’

She never had the chance before. Landing that slap felt incredibly satisfying.

Outwardly, however, her eyes welled up with tears, and she put on a wronged expression.

"Xu Wenwan, you’re shameless."

Xu Wenwan was completely stunned by the slap.

But Gu Jiaojiao immediately burst into tears and turned to the villagers behind her. "Aunties, tell me, what kind of person does this? She cursed us to get a divorce and even said Leng Yuan isn’t my man."

Among the aunties who had gathered, Gu Jiaojiao only recognized Wu Cuizhi. They had a bit of a grudge over one yuan, but she couldn’t be bothered with that right now.

She covered her face and sobbed.

When Wu Cuizhi saw Gu Jiaojiao, she instantly lost all interest in watching the drama unfold.

Unfortunately, the people around her were curious, and she had been dragged along.

Now, seeing Gu Jiaojiao crying, the hair on her arms stood on end.

In the past, just making Gu Jiaojiao unhappy had brought her bad luck. Now that Gu Jiaojiao was actually crying, she couldn’t imagine what misfortune awaited her.

At this moment, she just wanted to make Gu Jiaojiao happy.

Ignoring everything else, she pointed directly at Xu Wenwan and said, "I say, what’s wrong with you, young lady? How can you try to steal another woman’s husband and curse them to get a divorce!"

"You’re so young, yet so malicious."

Xu Wenwan had just snapped out of her daze when Wu Cuizhi’s scolding sent a fresh wave of fury through her. She felt like she was going to die from anger.

"Didn’t you see Gu Jiaojiao hit me? And you’re still taking her side!"

Wu Cuizhi snorted. "You deserved to be hit. Just listen to the things you said. If it were me, I’d have hit you even harder than Gu Zhiqing did."

Although Gu Jiaojiao didn’t know why Wu Cuizhi had such a change of heart, she let out a wronged sob. "Auntie, Xu Wenwan was just too outrageous. I really couldn’t hold it in."

Gu Jiaojiao acted as if she had been forced to hit her.

At this, the other two aunties in the crowd couldn’t hold back either.

"I say, Wen Wan, why are you telling them to divorce for no good reason? Don’t tell me you’ve taken a liking to that Leng Yuan boy! They’re already married, so you should just give up on that idea!"

"Exactly! You’re so young, how could you do something like seducing another woman’s husband!"

"So shameless at such a young age. Do your parents know about this? Village Chief Xu really cares about his reputation. If he knew his daughter was doing this kind of thing, he’d be furious."

"Forget the Village Chief! Xiuxian is such a strong-willed woman. If she knew her daughter was seducing another man, she’d be driven mad with anger."

Being pointed at and gossiped about by the villagers, Xu Wenwan felt like she was going to lose her mind from rage.

She yelled out a few words of explanation, "I didn’t! It wasn’t me! I didn’t seduce him..."

But the villagers around her didn’t believe her at all. Just moments ago, they had heard with their own ears Xu Wenwan telling Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao to get a divorce.

If that wasn’t a sign she was after the man, then what was?
