When She Stops Being Dramatic

Chapter 353: Chapter 132: 19

But in everyone’s eyes, she was deliberately wasting time!

Their eyes widened, their feet seemingly rooted to the spot.

”What are you all doing? Did the pipes break? Is there no hot water? Why are you all blocking the way?”

A clear, stern voice rang out, and everyone startled, turning in unison to look.

The woman who had spoken frowned. ”What are you looking at me for?”

”The dual-harvest is demanding right now. You all need to have more collective awareness. Every minute you waste here, you’re taking advantage of the organization...”

Everyone was long used to her high-and-mighty, lecturing attitude.

Someone sneered, ”Scorer Lin, aren’t you taking advantage of the time by nagging us? Oh, that’s not right. An esteemed university student from Imperial University like you... being a scorer is such a waste of your talents.”

”That’s a job anyone who can count on their fingers can do. You should be out working in the fields. That way, you’d also have a chance to get close to Mr. Jiang.”

”Who knows, maybe the crops you harvest would be special. Maybe whoever eats them will have a flash of inspiration, become a great student, and get recommended for university too?”

Everyone couldn’t help but burst out laughing. There were so many of them, anyway. How could Scorer Lin possibly remember all their faces?

If she dared to short them on work points, they would all raise a fuss and accuse her of abusing her position for a personal grudge!

But they were short on eyes, trying to keep one on Chi Yun’er while enjoying the sight of Lin Xiulan’s expression changing.

Everyone had long since grown tired of Lin Xiulan. She hadn’t even gotten into university through the proper exams, nor was she like Mr. Jiang, who was so outstanding he was hand-picked by a professor.

She just had connections in her family. It wasn’t enough that she chased a man all the way to university; now she had run to the farm to throw her weight around at them!

Just then, Chi Yun’er, just as everyone had hoped, took off her blouse. She had also pulled her undergarment halfway off, revealing skin so fair, smooth, and delicate that it filled the other women with a bitter mix of envy and jealousy.

There was no birthmark anywhere. On such a perfect body, how could Heaven bear to add a single stroke that would mar its beauty?

For some reason, the hearts that had been in their throats now dropped heavily.

Thinking about the various rumors surrounding Chi Yun’er, they began to feel angry.

It was clear at a glance that Chi Yun’er was a pampered girl who had never known hardship. They heard her father was the vice-director of Kyoto General Hospital. The house she was assigned was supposed to be a two-story building with its own private shower, so she shouldn’t have to squeeze into the public bathhouse with common people like them at all.

That being the case, who could have possibly seen a birthmark on her body?

And what kind of intentions did the person who spread this rumor have?

That person probably knew Chi Yun’er didn’t like going to the bathhouse and that no one would be able to see her body, so they did everything they could to ruin her reputation and sling mud at her.

What made everyone even more furious was that the birthmark was a small matter. The big deal was that an educated youth from Bian Family Village had repeatedly claimed to have seen her body, and even mentioned the birthmark.

By the time the rumor reached their ears, it had gotten so specific that Chi Yun’er supposedly had a red, heart-shaped birthmark on her chest!

It was safe to say that if everyone had seen a birthmark on her chest today, then Chi would have had no choice but to jump in a river to prove her innocence...

Unable to bear everyone’s intense stares, Chi Yun’er used a towel to cover herself—a gesture that was better than nothing. With her face flushed and her eyes glistening, she looked pure, vulnerable, and particularly moving.

When Lin Xiulan squeezed her way in, this was the scene that greeted her. Her gaze froze for a moment, then her face turned cold as she looked at Chi Yun’er’s chest.

Apparently, she had also heard the rumor.

The flames of gossip, which had just been extinguished, now roared back to life. Oh, this was getting good!

Mr. Jiang’s girlfriend was meeting his pursuer...

She strode forward step by step, looking Chi Yun’er up and down with a sneer. ”So you’re that Chi, the one who’s been here for half a day and already has everyone on the farm in an uproar?”

”It’s all women in the bathhouse. What’s with the cover-up act? Who are you trying to look seductive for?”

Chi Yun’er stared at her, shocked, confused, and indignant.

Lin Xiulan sneered, ”Drop that pathetic act. You’re on the farm now, so you follow the farm’s rules.”

”You certainly have a lot of clout, Chi, getting ’parachuted’ directly into a logistics position. What have you ever done to deserve that?”

”This isn’t Bian Family Village, where everyone worships the ground you walk on and lets you do whatever you want! If I find out you’re seducing any man, I’ll be the first to drag you onto the stage for a harsh criticism and education session...”

Chi Yun’er took a step back, putting some distance between them. She gave a light laugh. ”If I recall correctly, Comrade, you’re Scorer Lin, the student from Imperial University... and my Brother Hua’s ardent pursuer?”

”You’re shamelessly chasing after a man yourself. What right do you have to watch over others and see if they’re behaving with propriety?”
