Chapter 637: Chapter 637: Seeing is Believing.
"Ugh, why don’t you believe me? I am genuinely concerned for Doctor Bai’s well-being. Chief An is such an outstanding talent, with the looks and the rank of a chief; countless women dream of him day and night. Our Hu Biao has said that in the hearts of the girls from the art troupe, Chief An is the number one choice for a husband. Lots of young ladies frequently go to their training ground just to watch Chief An train." Sister Wei gossiped nonstop all day long, how could she not share.
Li Jie laughed, gently closed the door, took her crutches, and left the house, "I didn’t really notice, I think Chief An likes Doctor Bai a hundred and twenty percent. You should see how Chief An looks at Doctor Bai, his eyes don’t even wander. If that’s not liking someone, then what is?" She shook her head, not taking Wei Jianling’s words seriously.
Wei Jianling, annoyed, hugged Huzi and went downstairs, "Hmph, no one listens to me; there will come a day when they’ll suffer."
Her voice could still be heard in the distance, dripping with dissatisfaction.
Li Jie shook her head and sighed; most women in this compound have men working outside, and only a few could arrange work. The rest stay at home, taking care of the children and household chores. Naturally, over time, they end up having plenty to talk about, be it the expansion of somebody’s home or the troubles of another.
And so, the rumors, spiced up and exaggerated, began to fly around. To put it bluntly, it’s just idleness.
How could Chief An possibly wrong Doctor Bai? She wouldn’t believe it even if she were beaten to death.
Suddenly, a military green jeep drove by. In this weather, the windows were down, and a girl’s lovely, coquettish laughter rang out like silver bells. The man in the driver’s seat was clearly visible—it was Chief An.
Ah...
Chief An?
Li Jie rubbed her eyes, this couldn’t be.
Could it actually be as Sister Wei said, that Chief An was having an affair with someone else? 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
The girl just now indeed looked very seductive; her long, curly perm was not something their decent women would opt for, and that dress—its V-neck was cut so deep, it almost revealed her white bosom.
Which decent girl would dress like that?
Wasn’t it obviously intended to lure men’s eyes?
And yet there she was, sitting in Chief An’s car!
That’s it, a big scandal has erupted.
Li Jie couldn’t care less about her own exercise anymore, she hurriedly hobbled home on her crutches. She hadn’t even reached the stairs when she remembered that Doctor Bai had just gone to work; even if she went upstairs now, what could she do?
Heavy-hearted, she walked slowly along the shady pathway in the compound, gripping her crutches.
The normally vibrant garden seemed to have lost its luster as well.
Li Jie angrily knocked down a brilliantly blooming rose with her crutch.
The bright rose flowers lay there on the ground.
"Men, not a good one among them."
She felt indignant on behalf of Doctor Bai.
Doctor Bai—such a good person, young and beautiful with a nice figure and excellent medical skills.
Where else could you find such a perfect bride, even with a lantern?
And yet, here was Chief An, wanting to have his cake and eat it too.
No wonder Sister Wei burst out with that; probably many people in the compound saw Chief An flaunting that vixen around.
That must be where those words came from.
Most likely it was well-intended advice for Doctor Bai, lest her backyard catches fire and she ends up in a huge loss.
It won’t do; when Doctor Bai comes home from work tonight, she has to tell her.
