Chapter 1662. What kind of pot matches what kind of lid
Police officers usually deal with these kinds of quarrels between neighbors. They’ve seen many women like this, so they’re not too surprised.
"Officer, I pushed her down and you want to arrest me, but what about Qiao Xu? She hit me! I can’t even straighten my back now. How come you’re not arresting her? You police are just bullying people..."
As she spoke, she began crying and wailing, trying to gain public sympathy.
The police officer held his head in pain. Actually, the push that she gave Xia Yumo just now wasn’t that big of a deal. As long as both parties could mediate and apologize, everything would be fine.
However, Qiao Xu clearly didn’t want to let the woman off the hook so easily. Mediation was impossible, so both parties would have to be taken to the police station.
"Madam Lu..."
He was about to speak when he heard a rough male voice come from the crowd.
"What’s going on here? What are you doing?"
The man walked straight towards the woman, and her eyes lit up when she saw him. Then she cried out,
"Husband, come quickly, they’re bullying me."
Everyone: "..."
From start to finish, she was the one causing trouble. How could she have the nerve to say that others were bullying her?
As soon as the man heard this, he exploded, "Who? Who’s bullying you?"
"Them!"
She pointed at Qiao Xu and Xia Yumo, and the man turned around to scold them. But as he saw Qiao Xu and Xia Yumo, he hesitated for a moment.
"They bullied you?"
Hearing the doubt in her husband’s voice, the woman immediately became angry.
"What? You don’t believe me? Do you think that vixen is better, and you don’t want to live with me anymore? That vixen is always seducing you, isn’t your heart itching?"
Usually, the man was just a lustful coward. He was content with watching beautiful women but didn’t have the courage to make a move.
Now, hearing his own wife say this in front of so many people, his face instantly became red with embarrassment.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Nonsense? Do you think I’m blind? Every day you two flirt in the corridors, do you think I can’t see?"
"Shut up! Go home with me!"
"I won’t go back! Today, I want everyone to judge what’s right or wrong. That vixen seduces my husband and still has the nerve?"
She grabbed her husband’s arm and said, "That Qiao Xu even injured me and now she has the nerve to accuse me of intentional injury and slander."
It’s said that like attracts like—just like how a lid matches its pot.
Upon hearing Qiao Xu’s name and the words "assault" and "slander" from his wife, combined with the subtle pinch from his wife, the man instantly understood everything.
Slander is just trouble caused by speaking carelessly.
If it happened to ordinary people, life would just go on as usual. After all, the cost of hiring a lawyer and going to court might not even be worth the compensation they would get if they won.
However, Qiao Xu is different. She’s very rich, so even if she just wanted to get back at his wife, she could easily hire a lawyer and drag her wife to court for slander.
Denying Xia Yumo’s seduction would mean admitting to his wife’s slander. The thought of his wife going to jail is small, but paying compensation is major. He couldn’t bear to waste money on his unpleasant wife.
Besides, his wife was beaten by Qiao Xu. If they didn’t take the opportunity to get money from Qiao Xu, wouldn’t the beating she suffered have been in vain?
