When She Stops Being Dramatic

Chapter 432: Chapter 155: Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (42)

The car was parked under a large tree with its windows wide open, so it wasn’t too stuffy.

They knew Jiang Zishi’s temperament all too well. With enough provocation, the guy would get so furious he’d lose his mind and couldn’t wait to stir up trouble.

And what they needed to do was expose him at just the right moment and deliver a painful blow!

Jiang Zishi’s eyes were dark and unreadable as he watched the long line, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

”Hey, Comrade, do you know one of the staff members in charge of the exam?”

After Jiang Zishi returned to the line, the others asked him apprehensively.

He nodded, hesitating before speaking. ”She’s a relative of mine. We were sent down to the same area in the countryside. I just went up to say a few words since we ran into each other.”

”Your relationship doesn’t seem very good, does it?” they asked, probing, afraid he might use his connections to snatch one of their spots.

Jiang Zishi grunted. ”Perhaps I just know too much.”

After that, he clamped his mouth shut and didn’t say another word.

When it was almost his turn, he hurried off to the restroom and came back a short while later.

Jiang Yihua emerged from around the corner, flanked by two comrades in uniforms with white tops, blue bottoms, and peaked caps.

”TSK TSK, Brother Hua, your parents were real suckers, weren’t they? Raising him for so many years only to be resented for it?” the one with the darker complexion said, shaking his head with a sigh.

Jiang Yihua shot him a glare. ”Get back to work. After the exam is over and the results are out, you can bring him down to the station and teach him a proper lesson.”

’Heh, failing the exam is just the prelude. There’s no limit to how low his life can sink!’

”Slander, especially slandering a woman’s virtue, can drive a living person to their death!”

”Later, I’ll have my wife whip up a feast. Call a few of the guys to come over for dinner.”

The two comrades quickly stood at attention and nodded gravely. ”Don’t worry, Brother Hua. I’ll go explain the situation to the comrades who heard him and have them act as witnesses.”

”I’m sure that once their personal information is on record, they won’t dare to casually spread malicious, reputation-ruining rumors.”

After saying that, they brazenly started listing off several dishes they wanted.

Jiang Yihua laughed and replied, ”Deal. When have I ever short-changed you?”

It was the time of day when most people were busy at work or school; only a few exam candidates in line couldn’t hold it any longer and came to use the restroom.

Just a moment ago, Jiang Zishi had been standing outside the restroom, using the trees for cover as he performed a two-person comedy routine all by himself, altering his voice.

”Brother Dong, did you see her just now? Among the exam proctors, there was a really pretty female comrade?” It wasn’t easy for a man to imitate a woman’s voice by straining it, but by deliberately keeping the pitch low, he managed to reduce much of the awkwardness.

It worked so well that the content of the words completely captured everyone’s attention.

”Saw her,” came a deep, lazy male voice. ”So what if she’s pretty? I know her. She’s Director Chi’s daughter from the general hospital. Name’s Chi Yun’er. And she’s a real handful, that one.”

”She defied her parents to chase a man down to the countryside, and the moment she came back, she got together with his older brother. Her private life is a complete mess.”

”I wonder how she’s going to face her ex-boyfriend—her future brother-in-law—after she marries the older brother.”

”And Chi Yun’er has only been back in the city for a few months, and she’s already doing the same job as the hospital leadership. TSK TSK. Didn’t you see? The guy who went up to grab the stack of exams is the old hospital director’s grandson.”

”The two of them were making eyes and laughing right in front of Chi Yun’er’s fiancé.”

”TSK TSK. I guess a man who’d take his own brother’s girlfriend isn’t too particular about his wife’s morals.”

The ”female” voice gasped, asking in disbelief with a hand over her mouth, ”How is that possible?”

”Although, I have seen it happen. Some girls are pretty, and they have boys flocking around them since they’re little. They get used to being fawned over and never learn to keep a proper distance from men when they grow up.”

”Sigh, young people these days... Get too close, and trouble is bound to happen. Sent down to the countryside, a totally new place with no elders around to watch... she... she must have let a man sweet-talk her into bed, right?”

The male voice snorted. ”What do you think...?”

”Definitely,” the ”woman” said firmly. ”I know you men, especially at that age. You’re so hot-blooded. The slightest thing and you’re like an erupting volcano—BOOM!—you just go up in flames.”

”Besides, this Chi Yun’er has the face and the figure. Any man who could resist her charms wouldn’t be a man at all!”

Inside the restroom, the men in the stalls couldn’t help but slow their movements, straining their ears to listen in.

The gossip was just too shocking, especially for city-dwellers of their generation.
