Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!

Chapter 330 - 322: Turning the Tables

"Wuwuwu, how could she be so heartless, to drive us all out in the heavy snow? Wuwuwu, big brother, I also did it for everyone’s sake, wanting to make life a little easier for everyone. We’ve put in so much effort, yet the women and children at home still have nothing to eat. I just wanted Mr. Cheng to consider our hard work and calculate a few more work points so that life wouldn’t be impossible for everyone. Wuwuwu, I really did it for everyone’s good."

Tsk tsk, this ability to twist the truth is unmatched.

Cheng Xiaoxiao smirked, Oscar owed her a little golden statue!

The crowd had mixed expressions, with constant sighs.

Upon hearing his sister’s account, Yang Fan couldn’t help but frown. His sister’s actions were indeed improper, but her intentions were good. Mr. Cheng wouldn’t possibly drive them away over something so trivial.

So he intended to lecture his sister properly and have her apologize to Mr. Cheng. However, before he had the chance to speak, he heard Ming Shan’s cold voice.

"Tell the truth, every word must be true."

He and Yang Fan had just entered the Underground City to arrange accommodation when someone reported that a dispute had broken out above, prompting their hasty return.

The small-statured man dared not hide anything; back then, Ming Shan had once taken a knife for him, a debt that couldn’t be repaid by any benefit from his sister-in-law.

"The cause was that many people in our team were unwilling to move into the Underground City, and then..."

The small-statured man was fair and just, and although he didn’t recite every word everyone said, he restored the facts to at least ninety-nine percent accuracy. Ming Shan understood the whole story, his face turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

Yang Fan, not far away, naturally heard as well, unable to believe his sister could be such a person.

Yang Ying sobbed even more fiercely, feeling somewhat resentful toward her own man. She was also doing it for him and her brother, and not only did he not appreciate it, but he also sided with outsiders. However, seeing the man looking as if he was going to tear her apart, she shivered inexplicably and dared not make a sound.

"Wuwuwu, big brother!"

Yang Fan and Ming Shan led a large group of people directly to the Underground City. Upon learning of their wife/mother causing trouble here, they wished they could slap her on the spot.

They all dragged their family members over to apologize to Cheng Xiaoxiao.

Yang Fan also snapped out of it, clenching his fists tightly. Hearing his sister crying beside him, he felt extremely irritated and shouted, "Enough!"

Startling Yang Ying with a jolt.

"Since you were little, your brother has always spoiled you, but he never taught you to be ungrateful, to bite the hand that feeds you, to confuse right with wrong, to say one thing and mean another. Do you realize if it weren’t for Mr. Cheng, we would have met King Yan several times over by now."

Hearing her brother’s stern roar and his disappointed eyes, Yang Ying was completely flustered.

"No, no, big brother! I didn’t, I, I did it for your good too..." Tears welled up from her eyes, and this time she was genuinely heartbroken.

This wasn’t the end yet, as Yang Ying, who was desperately explaining, was yanked aside by Ming Shan.

Pa!

A fierce slap directly knocked Yang Ying, who hadn’t steadied herself, to the ground.

"You are still arguing."

Ming Shan was furious with her for not understanding iron. "Last time, I warned you to behave, and look at what you’ve done.

Being selfish and vain is one thing, but do you really want to harm our team?"

Yang Ying, holding her swollen face from the slap, looked at her husband in disbelief, forgetting to cry.

"You actually hit me, wuwuwu, I don’t want to live anymore, I was doing it for everyone’s good, and yet you all side with outsiders. I’ve given my all for this family, and this is what I get, your insults and beatings, wuwu, what’s the point of living like this?"

Yang Ying cried fiercely, yet she showed no actual intention of doing anything drastic.

One would have thought she wasn’t afraid of death.

Seeing that both men were ignoring her, unlike in the past when they would placate her, Yang Ying was extremely embarrassed, covering it up with her cries.

Just then, a girl about ten and a boy about five or six squeezed in, seeing their mother sitting miserably on the ground.

They rushed forward, "Mom, mom, what happened to you?"

Seeing the two children, Yang Ying seemed to regain her confidence and cried even harder.

Indeed, what Ming Shan was about to say was interrupted by the sudden arrival of the two children.

Ultimately, he couldn’t bear to leave the children with a bad impression.

He squatted down to comfort the two children and had Aunt Chi take them away from the crowd.

Glaring at Yang Ying, he harshly said, "I hope there’s still a chance for this matter to be resolved, or you’ll be waiting for a divorce."

The person on the ground, hearing she might be divorced, panicked, her heart thumping, crying even louder.

She tried to grab her man’s pant leg, but was a step too late, reaching into the empty air.

Because Ming Shan whispered in her ear, she didn’t dare shout it out loudly.

She just kept shaking her head toward Ming Shan’s back, murmuring, "No, I don’t want it."

Her sobbing was choked, tears continuously flowing; she didn’t want to be divorced, why had it come to this, why did it become like this.

She cast her pleading gaze toward her big brother, but Yang Fan was utterly disappointed in her and didn’t respond.

Ming Shan, with a strong hand, calmed the team members, telling them all to retreat, not to cause any more trouble.

Then, with an apologetic face, he looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao, bowing deeply, "The womenfolk didn’t know better and spoke nonsense. I hope Mr. Cheng will give us a chance."

Yang Fan also approached, head lowered, "I’m sorry, Mr. Cheng, my sister has caused you a lot of trouble. I apologize on her behalf. I will strictly monitor her, and she won’t appear before you again."

Cheng Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, at least there was someone who understood.

She was just scaring these people a bit; they’d been working smoothly for so long. She wouldn’t really throw them all out over some bad apples.

The cold wave was about to arrive, outside it would be a dead end. For such a trivial matter, she wouldn’t disregard their lives.

"Come in and talk."

Cheng Xiaoxiao led the two into the meeting tent.

Ke Mengyao and Lu Jinglian, controlled by the Patrol Team, also came in together.

Naturally, so did the Lu Family.

By this time, Lu Jingtian’s head was still foggy, not understanding how this had anything to do with his sister.

Boss Lu and Mrs. Lu had some guesses, but... were also quite surprised.

Because Mrs. Lu had already sternly warned her daughter not to get involved with Ke Mengyao’s affairs, not to get too close to her, yet such a thing still happened, causing them some embarrassment.

Earlier outside, they weren’t the main players, so they hadn’t spoken up. Now, almost everyone present was an acquaintance.

Boss Lu sincerely apologized to Cheng Xiaoxiao, "I’m sorry, Mr. Cheng, my daughter was thoughtless and caused you trouble."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaoxiao, who had been 70-80% displeased, was now fully irritated. When she’s not in a good mood, she just wants to retaliate against others.
