Chapter 709 The Way of Heaven Reincarnates, Severing Kindness and Righteousness
Manager Yan had just assured everyone that everything was under control when someone came in causing a ruckus. However, Bai Haixia was really out of line, always dressing flamboyantly at work—not that anyone could criticize her too much given her strong business skills, which the leadership had to acknowledge with some indulgence.
But sometimes she was truly arrogant. Teaching her a lesson wasn’t such a bad idea—it would take her down a notch. He thought as long as it didn’t involve Ning Lingyu, he couldn’t be bothered to intervene. So he turned around and went back to his office.
Employees from other offices, seeing the boss had returned to his office, didn’t interfere either. Unfortunately, Fan Bing was not around at the time, and since his wife had scratched a few people from the procurement department, no one stepped forward to stop her, fearing they couldn’t justify their inaction to their wives at home.
That’s when Bai Haixia really suffered. Her face was scratched by Fan Bing’s wife, ruining her looks, and her clothes were torn to shambles. Just then, Fan Bing’s wife noticed the necklace Bai Haixia was wearing around her neck and went berserk.
It turned out that the necklace belonged to her mother-in-law and had gone missing during a move, only to reappear around Bai Haixia’s neck. Fan Bing’s wife began furiously beating Bai Haixia.
The incident escalated to the police station, for a simple reason—Fan Bing’s wife accused Bai Haixia of theft. The necklace was no ordinary piece. The chain was made of gold, which looked no different from the norm, but the jade pendant it held was of high quality and worth a significant sum.
Now the matter had blown up. Unable to clearly explain where the necklace had come from, the police had to treat it as a theft case. Bai Haixia panicked and confessed her affair with Fan Bing.
The two had been secretly involved for years, and the necklace was a gift from him. Now Fan Bing’s wife was even more infuriated to learn that her husband had been cheating on her with another woman.
She wanted to hit someone on the spot, but the police quickly intervened and summoned Fan Bing and the department store’s leadership.
The outcome was simple: the necklace was returned to the Fan family, and both Fan Bing and Bai Haixia were dismissed from their jobs. The incident couldn’t be concealed. Before the workday even ended, the news had spread.
The residential area behind the department store buzzed with gossip. Upon hearing the news, Bai Haixia’s husband beat her when she got home and then dragged her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce before closing time.
