Chapter 458: Shi Youxuan Establishes Her Authority at School

"How would I know?"

A flash of panic crossed Wang Cuihua's eyes.

"I know," Shi Youxuan chimed in.

She was smiling.

Her smile was cunning and carried a hint of mockery.

Wang Cuihua had a foreboding feeling, but it was too late for regrets now.

Shi Youxuan said, "You don't recognize me? Fine, everyone listen up, she says she doesn't recognize me. Since she doesn't, let's have a good talk about the matter of her stealing my wedding dress worth millions today..."

"Whoosh—"

The surrounding area was immediately in an uproar.

Wang Cuihua's brain went "buzz" and crashed; she nearly died on the spot!

Her husband and sister-in-law did not know about her stealing the wedding dress.

But now Shi Youxuan had spilled it, right in front of everyone, spilled it out brazenly!

Wang Cuihua didn't even have a chance to defend herself.

The Fang family were people who cared about their reputation, and they didn't like Wang Cuihua to begin with; now, the two of them were so angry their faces turned iron-blue.

Lüshi Fang pointed at his younger brother, unable to get a single word out, then turned and left!

Wang Cuihua's husband only squeezed two words through his teeth: "Divorce." Then he turned and left as well.

He couldn't afford to lose face like this with her.

Wang Cuihua slumped to the ground, not even having the energy to throw a tantrum.

It was over, all over.

After that incident of causing a scene at the school gate last time, she had nearly been divorced; she had used the child to barely stop her in-laws from mentioning divorce, but she had also been warned that it was the last time, and there would be no second chance.

As a result, the matter of stealing the wedding dress was discovered again; added to this time, she would definitely be divorced.

Wang Cuihua felt as if the sky had collapsed, but if she thought that was the end of it?

Then she was too naive.

Shi Youxuan had only just begun!

She listed Wang Cuihua's deeds one by one to the onlookers; there was no need to make up her affairs, just the ready-made ones could be told for three days and three nights without repeating.

It was so much that she couldn't even detail them; detailing them would be too tiring!

She just picked the main points to talk about a few, and immediately someone reacted quickly and went to find Wang Cuihua to make her pay for their clothes.

She had a criminal record for theft; if they didn't find her now, they were afraid they wouldn't even know whose clothes were whose among those sent for dry cleaning.

Once one person started, immediately more people followed suit.

People went one after another to find Wang Cuihua, making her pay for their clothes!

Wang Cuihua panicked, brought out her shrewish skills, and refused to pay no matter what.

She shouted for everyone to go find Shi Youxuan to settle the account, saying the shop was smashed by her, and the clothes were also dirtied and ruined by her people, so why should she have to pay?

She just wouldn't pay.

She had no money, and she wouldn't give her life.

Wang Cuihua even grabbed onto the police officers' uniforms, demanding they arrest Shi Youxuan because she smashed her shop.

If they didn't arrest her, she would go complain about them, accusing them of being in cahoots with Shi Youxuan, snakes and rats in the same nest.

Shi Youxuan smiled slightly: "Your shop? How can you prove the shop is yours?"

At this moment, the landlord arrived, and the landlord told Wang Cuihua that this shop had already been sold to Shi Youxuan; now Shi Youxuan was the owner of the shop, which meant it was her own storefront, so she could smash it if she wanted to, and it was none of her business!

Wang Cuihua was dumbfounded.

Originally, she had wanted to use Shi Youxuan smashing the shop to offset the matter of her stealing the wedding dress last time.

Now it couldn't be offset; she had no leverage over Shi Youxuan, but Shi Youxuan had a pile of leverage over her.

Wang Cuihua was finally taken away by the police to "clarify" the matter of stealing the wedding dress last time.

Such matters were originally not investigated unless reported by the victim; now that the "aggrieved party" was relentless, that matter had to be processed from the beginning.

Wang Cuihua was sentenced to three years for the crime of theft; the day before the verdict, her husband divorced her, and Fang Mingxing was placed in the father's custody.

The husbands of those women who had a good relationship with Wang Cuihua and were used as pawns were all suddenly dismissed by their workplaces, all losing their jobs.

When they tried to find new jobs, they hit walls everywhere; in Jiangzhou, no one would hire them.

No job meant no income; the few gossiping women complained that their husbands were useless, couldn't even find a job, and couldn't earn money to pay for the children's tuition...

Every day the home was a mess, so naturally, they had no mood to gossip about other people's family affairs.

And those unruly children who hit Shi Ran, because their families suddenly became poor and couldn't afford such an expensive private school, had to transfer to ordinary schools.

All of this happened within a few days, so fast that before people understood what had happened, it was over.

The school held a board meeting.

At the meeting, it was announced—Shi Youxuan, as Acting Chairman, would temporarily take over her husband's duties!

Shi Youxuan's inaugural speech was excellent; she first stated that due to business expansion, Chairman Sheng Hanyu had to personally oversee work abroad, so the position of Chairman of the school would be temporarily filled by her.

But the original school positions would remain unchanged, work content would remain unchanged, and the general direction would remain unchanged...

Simply put, although she was the Acting Chairman, everything in the school would remain as usual, and they shouldn't look for her unless there was a major issue.

Because she was pregnant with her second child now, she had to take good care of the pregnancy and couldn't exert herself!

After the meeting ended, the rumors in the school regarding Sheng Hanyu were self-defeating.

Shi Youxuan was no longer low-key; she threw a beautiful "combination punch" and made a high-profile appearance at the school!

From then on, no one dared to bully Shi Ran again; even if there were still those who were envious and jealous, they didn't dare to provoke her, neither openly nor secretly.

……

A Small Fishing Village near the coast in R Country.

"Brother, time to eat!" a beautiful village girl in her twenties called out sweetly to the man who was working.

He had been busy all morning; he had been repairing the fishing boat since before dawn, hadn't even eaten breakfast, and now that it was high noon, he still hadn't rested for a single minute.

The man was shirtless, his skin tanned to a wheat color.

His solid muscles glistened in the sunlight, and sweat flowed incessantly down his broad back!

If not for the scars covering his chest and back, this man would be no worse than those super male models on television.

"Coming right away."

The man said, but the movements of his hands did not stop.

He had been repairing this rusted fishing boat for a week, and now was the most critical moment; whether the fishing boat could go out to sea again depended on this one final effort!

As he tied the last two wires, the man turned the key, and the motor immediately let out a long-lost roar, and the dashboard also began to turn—it was a success.

A week of sweat had not been shed in vain, his efforts had not been wasted, and the man revealed a smile, feeling very happy.

Even happier was the girl standing not far away; the girl suddenly widened her eyes, at first in disbelief, but in an instant, she came sprinting toward the fishing boat.

She shouted as she ran: "Did you succeed? Brother, the fishing boat has been repaired by you, right? Wow—Brother, you are amazing, so amazing!"

The girl ran to the side of the fishing boat but did not climb up, only circling the boat, so excited that she didn't know what to say other than "Brother, you are amazing."

This fishing boat was something their father had traded for one thousand catties of fish.

It had been parked on the shore for three years already.

It couldn't be started when it was first traded for; the previous owner didn't know what the problem was, but it just couldn't be repaired no matter what, so it was traded for fish as a scrap boat.

Because it could never be repaired and had cost quite a bit in repair fees, their father had been blamed by their mother many times.

A week ago, when the man had recovered from his injuries and woken up, he proposed repairing this boat.

The family actually hadn't held any hope that he could fix it; professional mechanics couldn't fix it, so could a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness but couldn't even remember who he was fix it?
