Chapter 572: Aunt 364 is thorny and fierce, acting just in time to save the beauty (2 more updates) _2

After days of running around for her husband’s sake, she looked utterly exhausted, her figure thin, her complexion pale. When she spoke to Shen Shuci, a fierce expression even emerged.

Shen Shuci merely gave a cold laugh.

"You wretched girl, how dare you laugh? Because of you, my husband lost his job, and he might even end up in jail. How can you still have the face to laugh?"

"To be honest, over the years, I’ve seen some shameless people, but I’ve really never encountered anyone as completely disgraceful as you and your husband," Shen Shuci said, raising her hand to wipe off her shoulder where she had just been jabbed.

"In the past, I did feel somewhat sorry for you, being married to someone like Fa Shoucheng, but now it seems..."

"Two of a kind, perfectly matched."

Shen Shuci’s disdainful arrogance thoroughly infuriated her.

"You dead girl, you..." Peng Yan raised her arm, about to strike her.

The manager and colleagues standing behind Shen Shuci all gasped in fright, but before her hand could land, Shen Shuci caught it.

She moved quickly, her action clean and decisive.

Clearly, Peng Yan hadn’t expected her to fight back, her pupils shook slightly, she twisted her wrist, but couldn’t break free, growing frantic and enraged.

"You little vixen, you dare..."

The woman’s face turned red, unable to break free, and the force on her wrist seemed to be increasing, that feeling...

It was as if it was going to snap her wrist.

Her desperate struggle, compared to Shen Shuci’s calm composure, made her look like a hysterical clown, which infuriated her even more. She gathered all her strength, but the next second, Shen Shuci suddenly exerted more force.

"Ah—" The woman shrieked, almost bumping into Shen Shuci’s face.

With a cold expression, those eyes seemed to grow even cooler. Being so close, she could almost feel her breath, chilly—

"What, what are you trying to do!" Peng Yan hadn’t anticipated this turn of events, her face turning pale in an instant.

"Originally, I mentioned talking privately with you because I didn’t want to make things difficult for the manager."

"You were a victim in this matter too, and if things escalated, it wouldn’t bother me, but I wanted to save you some face..."
