Chapter 398: Help Me Take Care of Her
Qiao Xi stood rooted to the ground, unable to understand why those women criticizing her changed their attitude. Those women who lived next door always tried to take advantage of her. Yet they held her hand kindly and even looked as if they understood her misery. "Wang Wentao is a university student! He is rubbish! Qiao Xi, you did well. You should have told him that you are not to be messed with long ago! He even wants to dump you and marry another girl? In his dream!"
Those women gathered together and gave Qiao Xi some advice. They not only wanted her to teach Wang Wentao a lesson but also asked her to make a scene at the university and scold that girl who Wang Wentao dated. They surrounded Qiao Xi, dumbfounding her. Shen Hanxing pulled Qiao Xi out of the crowd and took her, still in a daze, to the police car.
In the police car, Qiao Xi was still puzzled. "How... how did they manage to change their attitude so abruptly?"
The police officers on duty watched the entire process and chuckled when they heard this. "That’s human nature. They are conflicted."
Were those women bad? Yes, they were. Qiao Xi’s boyfriend planned to sell her to another man. They were curious and came to watch the scene. They casually gloated at Qiao Xi to satisfy their curiosity and mocked her in public. They even used Qiao Xi’s gossip as a topic of conversation with others, telling them about the things that Qiao Xi had experienced repeatedly.
Many women committed suicide because of similar rumors and gossip.
That was why gossip was a dangerous weapon. However, the women were compassionate, especially when they knew Wang Wentao had cheated on his girlfriend. As women, they stood on Qiao Xi’s side and scolded the scumb*g. They even cheered her up.
