Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Reaping What They Sow
Hearing Yiyi’s words, Zheng Xiangqiao felt like her wishes were granted, "Alright, let’s go up ahead and take a break." The hotel was right in front of them, and soon she would find an excuse to get Mo Yiyi inside. She was eager to see what kind of fate awaited Mo Yiyi.
With a smile on her lips, Yiyi led Zheng Xiangqiao and Zhang Liangyue towards the hotel.
As a breeze passed by, Yiyi flicked her fingers softly and smiled as she led the two into the hotel. She had already reserved the room earlier, so now she just needed to take them to the guest room.
The hotel staff glanced at Yiyi, then at the quiet Zheng Xiangqiao and Zhang Liangyue following behind her, but paid them no further attention, continuing with their work.
After leading Zheng Xiangqiao and Zhang Liangyue into the room, Yiyi closed the door with a smile, then exited the hotel, signaling to Mo Ping who was waiting covertly nearby, instructing him to be ready at any moment.
About half an hour later, Mo Ping stormed into the hotel with a group of people, heading decisively towards Zheng Xiangqiao and Zhang Liangyue’s room. Upon arriving, they didn’t hesitate and immediately broke down the door.
"Ah..."
Zheng Xiangqiao was completely bewildered, unable to understand how she ended up in a situation with Zhang Liangyue at this moment. It should have been Mo Yiyi with the person she had arranged.
Before Zheng Xiangqiao could figure it out, a middle-aged woman in the lead charged at her and slapped her across the face, "I’ll beat you, you little slut. How dare you seduce my husband? I tell you, you won’t be leaving this room today."
Feeling the sting on her face, Zheng Xiangqiao glared at the middle-aged woman in front of her, shouting sharply, "You shrew, who are you?"
"Hmph, you must be Zheng Xiangqiao, right? Working at the town’s department store, let me tell you, my husband is Shi Hejun from the department store. Days ago, you were acting all chummy with each other, and now you’re actually here getting a room together."
Hearing the woman’s words, Zheng Xiangqiao felt guilty. She hadn’t expected the woman in front of her to be Shi Hejun’s wife. She did want to hook up with Shi Hejun, as he was a manager at the department store, which would immensely benefit her future if she could connect with him. But she hadn’t even succeeded before being caught by his wife here.
Zhang Liangyue, who had been asleep, was already awake, but surrounded by people, he dared not show his face and could only cover his head with the blanket.
However, the middle-aged woman was not to be trifled with. Seeing Zheng Xiangqiao’s guilty demeanor, she sneered and said, "I know exactly what you little slut is up to. If you don’t mend your ways, I’ll slap you every time I see you." Saying this, she gave Zheng Xiangqiao several more slaps.
"Ah..."
Zheng Xiangqiao was left dazed, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
Several men who had also come along saw Zheng Xiangqiao clutching the blanket, noticing her exposed fair shoulders. They exchanged wry smiles, their eyes wantonly inspecting the woman before them, even though her face now looked swollen and pained, nearly unrecognizable.
After hitting Zheng Xiangqiao, the middle-aged woman also yanked off the blanket next to her.
"You jerk, how long are you going to hide? I let you fool around outside, and watch as I beat you today." As she spoke, her fists rained down on Zhang Liangyue like a storm.
Zhang Liangyue dared not lift his head; he preferred being mistaken for someone else than having his face seen.
But things didn’t go as he wished. After a while, the woman let out a puzzled "Hmm...?"
"Who are you? You don’t seem to be my husband." Then she forcefully pried open the hands covering Zhang Liangyue’s face, "Oh... you’re indeed not my husband. Who are you? Oh... thank goodness, it turns out I was mistaken. Great, so my Shi Hejun hasn’t actually cheated yet." At the last part, the woman was pleased again.
By now, others around had clearly seen Zhang Liangyue’s face. One of them couldn’t help but exclaim, "Oh my, isn’t this Mr. Zhang, my daughter’s school teacher? I thought he wasn’t married yet. How can he be doing this sort of thing in broad daylight?"
"This guy is actually a teacher, I wouldn’t have guessed."
"Tsk tsk... such a person actually being a teacher, isn’t he afraid of leading the students astray."
The middle-aged woman looked at Zhang Liangyue with contempt, sneering, "This man is actually a teacher. Which school is he from? Next time, I must warn my neighbors not to send their kids there, lest their children get corrupted."
At this moment, Zhang Liangyue wished for nothing more than for a hole to open up and swallow him whole.
He could never have imagined that when he had an affair with Zheng Xiangqiao, so many people would witness it. How would he face others now, especially if this scandal spread to the school? How would he hold his ground there? But one thing confused him, didn’t he just stroll around with Zheng Xiangqiao and Mo Yiyi earlier? How did he inexplicably end up at the hotel with Zheng Xiangqiao?
"Move, move, why are you all blocking the way here."
Other guests from the hotel came over, curious to see so many people gathered, which only attracted more onlookers.
Zheng Xiangqiao shook her head, finally regaining some clarity. Seeing so many people pointing and whispering about her, she felt almost faint, her vision turning black.
Finally, the crowd was dispersed when hotel staff came to drive them away.
All this time, Yiyi had been at the corner outside the hotel, and only after seeing the swollen-faced Zheng Xiangqiao and bleeding-faced Zhang Liangyue leave did she walk out with a smile in her eyes.
"Boss, everything’s been taken care of, and the news will spread quickly later."
Mo Ping reported the situation to Yiyi, feeling even more admiration and respect towards this young boss. Her methods and plans were truly profound and well-hidden. Whoever dared to cross her would surely meet a grim fate. Though, those rotten individuals deserved it for plotting against the young boss in the first place; they truly got what was coming.
Hearing Mo Ping’s report, Yiyi nodded slightly, "Let’s head back."
Soon after, the incident with Zheng Xiangqiao and Zhang Liangyue spread rapidly as if it had grown wings.
Everyone at the department store knew about Zheng Xiangqiao and a man’s rendezvous in broad daylight, as well as her ambiguous relationship with Shi Hejun.
Zhang Liangyue’s situation was no better. Both the teachers and students at the school learned of his scandal, and many parents started questioning his suitability as an educator.
