Chapter 478: She Is Mrs. Shen! (8)
Zhang Chunhua was completely stupefied after being slapped.
Stepping back, her expression changed as she processed what had just happened. “How dare you hit me!”
In response to this, she received yet another tight slap.
Then, Qiao Lian lunged at Zhang Chunhua. Not being able to hold her balance, Zhang Chunhua fell on the floor.
Quickly following this, Qiao Lian’s punches started to rain down onto Zhang ceaselessly and mercilessly.
Furthermore, Qiao Lian even started slapping Zhang Chunhua on her mouth.
“I’ll teach you to slander my parents!”
“My parents were good people!”
“I’m warning you to shut up!”
“Zhang Chunhua, if I hear you talk about my parents one more time, I’ll make sure I seal your mouth for good!”
The people in the room were stumped and looked at the drama playing out before their eyes in disbelief.
Being considerably civilized people, very few among them would actually get into a fight. Hence, they were now stunned and didn’t know how to respond.
Until Zhang Chunhua yelled at the top of her voice, “Help me!”
Everyone suddenly snapped back to reality.
Someone made a move to step forward, but when he accidentally brushed against Qiao Lian’s arm, she turned around suddenly with a fierce glare.
Her eyes, which were now red, carried a sharp expression. She looked like a demon released from the recesses of hell.
The person who had initially wanted to go forward was deterred by the solemn and tragic expression on Qiao Lian’s face. He stood there, not daring to move.
In the meantime, Qiao Lian continued to hit Zhang Chunhua.
But after doing this for a brief time, her eyes turned bloodshot.
She was terribly grieved.
It is commonly said that pressure and stress can kill a person.
And that was the sort of atmosphere that her family had been subject to at that time.
Perhaps, it had been this sort of situation that had finally driven her parents to their graves. They had chosen to commit suicide.
They had chosen to die to save their children.
And they had chosen to exchange their lives for a solution to the whole matter.
Qiao Lian was filled with hatred.
Hatred for how helpless she had been at that time—all she had known was playing games. She had had no ambition and when she encountered trouble, she had thought that her parents would fix it all.
But eventually, the world collapsed on her.
Now tears were forming in her eyes, overflowing and running down her cheeks.
She continued hitting Zhang Chunhua until Managing Editor Liu Zhixing came running. “Qiao Lian, what are you doing? Stop it right now!”
It was only then that Qiao Lian paused and glared at Zhang Chunhua, whose mouth was by now full of blood from the beating. “You. Apologize to my parents!”
Zhang Chunhua viciously spat, “I didn’t say anything untrue, they are trash!”
The moment she said this, Qiao Lian’s fist descended in a solid punch once more.
Liu Zhixing shouted angrily, “Stop this at once! Qiao Lian, are you out of your mind? Beating up your boss? Or do you not care for the job anymore?”
In the past, he had always used this to threaten her.
After all, for most people having a job was important.
But this time around, when he uttered this threat, Qiao Lian started to laugh.
Now everyone’s eyes were on her. She straightened her frail and delicate frame.
She slowly stood up next to Zhang Chunhua, ignoring her knuckle, which had gotten injured from beating up the woman.
Then she looked at Liu Zhixing as she reached for her worker’s permit, which was hanging around her neck. She pulled it off.
And if there was one thing that she had been tempted to do time after time in the past year, it was this.
She flung the pass in Liu Zhixing’s face with great force!
“Qiao Lian, you’re fired!”
“You can take this job back, I don’t need it!”
She turned and walked back to her office to pick up her cell phone and handbag. Leaving everything else behind, she headed to the front door of the news agency.
Zhang Chunhua had lost two teeth in the beating and was in extreme pain. Seeing that Qiao Lian was leaving, she shouted at her saying, “Even if you hadn’t chosen to leave, we wouldn’t want to keep the daughter of evil people!!”
Qiao Lian halted and turned back to look at the pathetic Zhang Chunhua.
She glared straight at Zhang Chunhua with such burning fury and hatred in her eyes that it caused the woman to shudder in fear.
