Auntie Wang let out a "yo-heave-ho" and the mocking smile on her face grew even more pronounced.
She exaggeratedly pointed at the research institute behind her, and then pointed at Yuhang.
"Yuhang, I’m not trying to criticize you, but people should have some self-awareness. I know all about your situation. You lack both education and money, so how can you manage someone’s documents without messing them up? That’d be impressive."
Yuhang didn’t explain much to Auntie Wang since she didn’t know he had attended Agricultural University.
He glanced at the time on his phone, furrowed his brows, and without further delay, started walking toward the direction of the research institute.
"Auntie Wang, I have something urgent, so I need to go now."
Auntie Wang saw that Yuhang was about to leave, quickly followed him, and stopped him again.
"I haven’t finished speaking. Where are you going? You can’t just leave! Does Old Master Chi know about your shameless behavior? I used to think you were a good kid, but now you’re not only impolite but also shamelessly trying to cling to Professor Qiao’s Research Institute?"
She paused, took out her phone, and forcibly kept Yuhang from leaving.
"Don’t go! I’ll call Old Master Chi and ask him myself if he knows about your shamelessness!!"
Yuhang’s brows knit tighter, and seeing Auntie Wang really about to disturb Chi Chenyun, he finally couldn’t bear it anymore.
He forcefully pulled his hand away, and his expression turned cold.
"Auntie Wang, I said I have to go, I have something urgent."
He didn’t want to fuss over these trivial matters with Auntie Wang, but lately, she had been troublesome too often, first trying to take advantage of his family with Zhan Nanqing, then trying to seize his family’s land and getting snubbed by Doctor Qiao, and now she was preventing him from going to work.
If he continued to endure, he would be trampled on like an ant.
The moment Yuhang pulled his hand away, Auntie Wang staggered forward a few steps, which caused her phone to suddenly fly out of her hand and smash onto the ground.
Auntie Wang’s eyes widened instantly, and she quickly knelt down to pick up the phone, patting it with distress.
"Oh my goodness, my phone... please, nothing better happen to you!"
After trying several times to turn it on and finding that the phone was completely smashed and wouldn’t power on at all, she stood up and pointed at Yuhang’s nose, cursing:
"Yuhang, I gave you face, and you dare to get physical with me?"
She had never expected that the usually silent and dull Yuhang would dare to retaliate!
Back when he was bullied, he wouldn’t even dare to speak a word, so how come he was daring to get physical with her now?
Thinking this, Auntie Wang felt even more that she was the one wronged and humiliated, and she stood defiantly with her hands on her hips.
"You are bullying an elderly person, do you know that? You’ve got no respect for your elders!"
If Zhan Nanqing were here right now, hearing Auntie Wang say this, he would surely die laughing.
An honest person, Auntie Wang an honest person? If she were an honest person, then there are no honest people in this world.
Yuhang glanced at the time on the phone, realizing it was nearly time for him to report in.
He didn’t want to continue arguing with Auntie Wang, as he was well aware of her thick-skinned nature; this debate would surely be endless.
Yuhang’s expression turned cold again, his brow deeply furrowed.
"Auntie Wang, I won’t fuss over these issues, but that doesn’t mean I’m a soft persimmon for you to squeeze."
Hearing Yuhang talk tough, Auntie Wang felt even more that she was being bullied.
She was being bullied? That shall not pass!
She had never been bullied in her life!
Auntie Wang stubbornly wanted to keep bothering Yuhang, but then she suddenly met his firm gaze, and saw his serious expression.
She was taken aback, and muttered under her breath:
"What the heck... why is he looking at me with that look... bad luck..."
Only now did she realize that Yuhang had really changed from before.
The timid and shrinking presence he used to have was gone, replaced by the aura of a grown man.
It was precisely because of that imposing aura that she felt overwhelmingly intimidated.
Yuhang disregarded Auntie Wang and walked briskly towards the research institute.
Watching Yuhang’s retreating figure, Auntie Wang snorted coldly.
"Even if I don’t stop you, the security guards will catch you later, and I’ll be waiting to see you embarrass yourself!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Yuhang had already reached the entrance of the research institute.
As expected, the security guard stopped Yuhang.
Auntie Wang smugly raised her chin, now feeling confident, and shouted:
"Yuhang, don’t embarrass yourself! I want to see how you’ll get in—"
Before she could finish, she saw Yuhang say something to the security guard who then let him pass, even nodding slightly.
Yuhang entered the research institute without hesitation, not even sparing a glance at Auntie Wang.
Auntie Wang thought she might have seen it wrong, so she rubbed her eyes as she walked toward the research institute.
Upon reaching the guard, she asked:
"Did someone just go in?"
The guard nodded, giving Auntie Wang a strange look.
He had just seen this woman for some reason pestering an employee personally recruited by Professor Qiao.
Only then did Auntie Wang confirm that she hadn’t seen it wrong, slapping her hands together.
"Oh no! Why did you let him in? Why didn’t you stop him? What qualifies him to enter? If someone like him can go in, then can’t I?"
The guard, overwhelmed by Auntie Wang’s barrage of questions, felt dizzy.
Now he found this woman even stranger and directly raised his nightstick, saying coldly:
"Please leave immediately! No persons other than staff are allowed near the research institute!"
Auntie Wang felt she was kindly warning him about letting an unrelated person in, yet she was being rebuffed, and now she took on her domineering village demeanor.
"I kindly warn you that you let an unrelated person in, and you’re kicking me out instead? Then why didn’t you kick him out? If he can go in, why can’t I?"
Talking as she went, Auntie Wang started to stride directly toward the research institute.
Seeing this, the other guards immediately stopped Auntie Wang and brandished their batons.
Auntie Wang was so frightened by the row of batons that she stepped back several times, gritted her teeth, and still stubbornly said:
"I bet you, the head of security, took a bribe, didn’t you? That Yuhang definitely gave you some money to save face and let him in. What about Professor Qiao? I’m going to report this to Professor Qiao!"
Upon hearing Auntie Wang’s words, the guards exchanged looks with strange expressions.
One of the younger guards couldn’t help but ask the head guard a question.
"Head guard, could it be that this lady might..."
At this, the guard tapped his temple.
"Might have some issues here? Should we call and take her to the hospital?"
Upon hearing this, Auntie Wang was so furious she nearly passed out, cursing loudly:
"You’re the crazy one, your whole family is crazy!"
The guards didn’t bother with Auntie Wang any longer, and the head guard physically dragged her to the side, well away from the research institute.
"You better leave now!"
Auntie Wang remained defiant, gripping the head guard’s jacket fiercely and asked:
"I know the person who just went in. He is just a poor laborer! Why does he get to go in?!"
