When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354: Chapter 132: (19)_2

"I seriously suspect that you will use your position to carry out personal vendettas in the future. I wonder how many comrades have already been bullied, oppressed, and threatened by you."

"I’m a newcomer, all alone and without support. Does that make me an easy target for you to bully?"

"I strongly recommend that you be suspended from your post pending a rigorous investigation by the leadership. Don’t let your personal issues affect everyone’s morale for the double rush harvest."

"If the investigation clears you, it will prove the leadership is thorough, it will give everyone peace of mind, and your name will be cleared."

"And if the investigation does uncover any improprieties, it will be a chance for you to correct your ways and improve. We certainly wouldn’t be like you, refusing to give someone a chance and just dragging them up on a platform for a public criticism session..."

The tirade left Lin Xiulan stunned, while the onlookers took unconcealed delight in her misfortune.

Lin Xiulan always lorded her advantages over everyone: her higher education, her "special" relationship with Mr. Jiang, her family’s minor influence, and the fact that she never lacked for money. She strutted around like a peacock all day, bossing people around. It was infuriating.

But because she held the position of scorer, everyone could only swallow their anger and say nothing.

They never thought the newcomer, Chi, would be so tough!

According to the rumors, back in Bian Family Village, Chi was known for being bad-tempered, spoiled, and withdrawn. In over a year in the countryside, she hadn’t made a single female friend, relying entirely on Mr. Jiang’s younger brother, who waited on her hand and foot.

So she wanted to escalate things, did she?

Well, Chi’s accusations held more water than Lin Xiulan’s!

Furious with humiliation, Lin Xiulan’s eyes narrowed on the towel covering Chi Yun’er’s chest. She lunged forward to rip it away.

’I’ll see for myself if this Chi Yun’er really has that birthmark on her chest!’

But Chi Yun’er had been watching her every move. The moment Lin Xiulan’s arm came up, just before it could touch her, Chi Yun’er feigned a startled retreat. She "accidentally" tripped over something and fell backward as the crowd gasped in alarm.

Fortunately, she was quick. With one hand clutching her chest, she braced her other arm on a wooden stool, stopping her fall just an instant before her backside could kiss the cold, hard floor!

Everyone held their breath.

Even though they were all young, it wasn’t unheard of for someone to break a bone falling on the slick bathhouse floor. And from the way Chi had fallen, she could have easily landed on her tailbone. The very thought of that pain was enough to make them wince.

Besides, Chi had such fair, delicate skin; it was a shame to see her get even the smallest bump or bruise.
