Chapter 973: House Arrest (4)
"Madam Guo, I dare not get close to Miss Guo." Yang Ruxin’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Just now, Miss Guo was saying she wanted to have me driven away, claiming that if I didn’t leave, she would."
She was willing to befriend those local tyrants in town but that didn’t mean she was willing to tolerate provocations. With people like Madam Ma who had shown goodwill, it was fine, but with someone like Guo Rou who judged without discernment, she had no interest in extending a friendly hand.
"Rourou, what’s going on?" Guo Tongshi’s face immediately became awkward. Her family was nothing more than a deputy town chief, without any official rank, even the town chief’s wife had to be handled with great care, and her daughter... had she offended such a person?
"I..." Guo Rou glared at Yang Ruxin.
Ma Lushi’s expression also turned grim: "Madam Tong, it seems that Miss Guo has quite the temper?"
"This..." Guo Tongshi’s face flushed red, "Sister Ma, I think it might be a misunderstanding..." Then she glared at Guo Rou, "What exactly happened?"
Guo Rou shrunk her head but still failed to realize her mistake; instead, she stubbornly said, "She’s bullying others because of her power. First, she forced Li Cuicui away, and then she bullied Tong Lingling. I was just displeased..."
"Would Miss Guo like to explain why I forced Li Cuicui away or why I bullied Tong Lingling?" Yang Ruxin tugged at the corner of her mouth, "As a country girl, would I really pick on two young ladies for no reason as soon as I arrived?"
"You..." Guo Rou really didn’t know how to explain because if she were to tell the truth, it seemed that Li Cuicui and Tong Lingling were indeed the ones who spoke first.
"Can’t say anything now?" Yang Ruxin took a step forward, "You know nothing, so why come out and play the so-called righteous defender? Do you think it’s easy to be a hero?"
