Chapter 37: Fu Mingxue, Marriage Is a Big Deal

Since they all lived on the same street, the staff here naturally recognized Bai Siqi.

They were also well aware of how Bai Siqi had tried to snatch Fu Mingxue’s university acceptance letter.

After all, that incident had been the talk of the town—everyone knew about it by now.

So when they saw Bai Siqi trying to ask about Fu Mingxue’s marriage, they certainly had no intention of telling her anything.

“What do you want?”

“I just asked you a question—why aren’t you answering me?” Bai Siqi was clearly annoyed. She couldn’t even be bothered to pretend anymore and bluntly asked, “Were you just talking about Fu Mingxue getting a marriage certificate? Who is she marrying?”

The staff at the neighborhood office didn’t like her tone one bit.

They immediately rolled their eyes at her.

“What does that have to do with you? After everything that’s happened between you and Fu Mingxue, how do you even have the nerve to ask about her? What, you just can’t stop obsessing over her, can you?”

Bai Siqi was furious. “You—what kind of attitude is that? Believe it or not, I’ll report you!”

In the past, she might have spoken more tactfully, since she liked to put on a show.

But things were different now—she had decades of life experience from her previous life, and after so many years of living in comfort, she was no longer timid or cautious.

But the staff wasn’t intimidated by her at all.

They shot right back, “Report me? Go ahead, report me! Do it right now! If you’ve got nothing to hide, you don’t need to fear shadows. Even if you report me a hundred times, I won’t be scared. I’m not like some people whose character is rotten to the core.”

“You—you—” Bai Siqi’s face turned bright red with anger.

“Enough with the ‘you this, you that.’ If you have business to take care of, do it. If not, then leave and stop getting in the way of our work.”

Bai Siqi was so angry she could barely stand it.

She wanted to storm off, but remembering why she’d come, she forced herself to stay and said with a dark face, “I need an introduction letter—to visit the army.”

Normally, the neighborhood office would just ask a few routine questions, but after their argument, the staff questioned her thoroughly—who she was going to see, why she was going, and how long she’d be staying.

Bai Siqi answered through gritted teeth, but at least she finally got the letter.

As soon as she had it in hand, she prepared to go home, still fuming.

As luck would have it, she ran right into Fu Mingxue, who had just been sent out by her mother to buy something at the supply and marketing cooperative.

When Bai Siqi, with all her memories from her previous life, saw the young, fair-skinned, and beautiful Fu Mingxue, a wave of jealousy surged in her heart.

Especially since this wretch had ruined her life in this lifetime.

Fueled by anger and envy, she stormed straight up to Fu Mingxue.

“Fu Mingxue—” she spat, glaring at the bright, attractive girl in front of her.

Fu Mingxue looked at the woman blocking her path and muttered under her breath, “What bad luck.”

“Good dogs don’t block the road. Get out of my way.”

If not for the last shred of self-control, Bai Siqi would have already scratched up that pretty face in front of her.

She forced a smile. “Fu Mingxue, I heard you got a marriage certificate. Who are you planning to marry?”

Fu Mingxue sneered.

“Are you crazy? What do you have to do with me? How do you even have the nerve to show your face in front of me? Hah, I guess when someone’s truly shameless, their skin is thicker than anyone’s.”

“And another thing—get out of my way, or I’ll slap you.”

“Fu Mingxue, marriage is a big deal. You can’t just marry someone out of spite. Actually, Song Yan likes you more—I know he—ah…”"
