Wen Jiaren knew at a glance what An Wei intended to do; she was playing the role of crying "thief" to cover her tracks.
But she really hadn't expected An Wei to be so audacious. Without saying a word, An Wei charged at her like a shrew, aiming to grab Wen Jiaren's hair with one hand and swipe at her face with the other. She launched both hands simultaneously, completely ignoring Zhao Yufen and the crowds watching nearby.
The onlookers' eyes went wide—this was the scene of a wife confronting the mistress.
And the two journalists behind them snapped away furiously at Wen Jiaren and An Wei.
Wen Jiaren furrowed her brow but didn't push An Wei away; instead, she stepped back, causing An Wei to grasp at thin air and stagger forward in a moment of clumsiness.
