Mrs. Song heard from Song Yaxin that she had agreed to break up with Shen Peichuan.
Mrs. Song was furious as Shen Peichuan himself had agreed to date her daughter back then, and her husband had also provided much help to Shen Peichuan’s career.
Raging in her heart, she came to the police station early in the morning without telling her husband and daughter.
Shen Peichuan didn’t even get to enter the police station when he was stopped by her. She asked him for an explanation with a grim face.
“We have broken up amicably. What are you doing?” Shen Peichuan replied coldly.
He did not expect that she would come to find him at his workplace.
“Shen Peichuan, you ungrateful thing, didn’t you agree to date her? We didn’t force you, did we? How can you just break up like that now?” Mrs. Song was flushed with anger. “I don’t care. You must give me an explanation.”
Shen Peichuan frowned and said nothing.
As everyone in the police station knew Mrs. Song, a colleague came over and persuaded her, “Why don’t I take you to Captain Song’s office first?”
“No. I want Shen Peichuan to give me an explanation. Let me tell you this: he said he wanted to date Yaxin, and now he’s just dumped her like this. What kind of man is he?” Mrs. Song looked like she was complaining to others but she was actually defaming Shen Peichuan.
She kept implying that Shen Peichuan was not a man of his word and had no integrity.
The others were not in a position to comment, so they just listened quietly.
“How can there be such an ungrateful person? My husband, Captain Song, treats him like his son, but what about him? He has betrayed my husband. What goes around comes around.” Mrs. Song knew that there was no going back so she could not care less.
Shen Peichuan stared at Mrs. Song in silence as it suddenly dawned on him that Song Yaxin might have taken after her mother with her hypocritical character.
“You should go back and ask your daughter why she would agree to break up…”
“Of course, it’s due to her soft-heartedness, and because she’s not as heartless as you. What else could it be?” Mrs. Song sneered. “You need to apologize to me in front of everyone today.”
Shen Peichuan stood still. “I’m not wrong, so I don’t need to apologize to you. You making a scene like this will only embarrass Captain Song. We can go to my office and talk…”
“Don’t think you’re so great just because you’re a deputy chief now? Let me tell you, there’ll be no end to this matter if you don’t apologize to me today.” Mrs. Song was standing at the entrance blocking the road. By now, almost all the staff had arrived and many people were standing at the entrance.
They tried to persuade Mrs. Song but to no avail.
“Without my husband’s help, you’re nothing. Yet, you’re behaving so high-handed. Who do you think you are?” Carrying her bag, Mrs. Song stood with an intimidating stance, looking like she would not let it go until Shen Peichuan apologized to her.
Everyone knew what kind of person Shen Peichuan was, and they understood that Captain Song indeed appreciated Shen Peichuan’s capability. If Shen Peichuan were incapable, he would not have been promoted to his current position.
Due to her identity, no one dared to say anything about Mrs. Song, but deep down everyone was despising her.
Captain Song was a good man, friendly and upright.
But his wife was…
Everyone heaved an inward sigh.
Taking out his phone, Shen Peichuan wanted to call Song Yaxin and ask her to take Mrs. Song away. Mrs. Song, however, thought he was going to call Captain Song, so she slapped away his phone and lashed out, “Who are you calling?”
The phone fell to the ground and the screen cracked. Someone picked it up and handed it to Shen Peichuan, saying, “The phone screen is broken.”
Shen Peichuan sighed. “Do you really have to make a scene here?”
Mrs. Song sneered. “Are you scared now? Or did you grow a conscience?”
“What are you doing?” An angry shout was heard coming from the periphery of the crowd.
