Chapter 1119: Chapter 1119: Thrilling

In the end, the clerk had no choice but to come out and maintain order at the scene, announcing that holding books and reading in front of the shelves was not allowed, and those wishing to purchase books should line up to pay.

Those without enough money to buy books, or those who hadn’t brought enough money, had to leave reluctantly; they figured they would just borrow the books from colleagues who had finished reading them.

Of course, there were more people happily buying books.

Some didn’t just buy one; they bought one to read and one to keep. Some were buying for friends as well, remembering how hard it was to get the book last time, which had left a deep impression on everyone.

Luckily enough, they encountered the new book release today, and certainly couldn’t miss it.

Some didn’t leave after buying their books but stood in the aisle, sharing them with friends right there.

“Hey! This book… how does Su Wen’s brain work? How can she write so well?”

“Hahaha… Look at this passage, it’s hilarious, so entertaining!”

“And this part here.”

“Teaching you how to identify hidden ‘white lotuses’ and ‘green tea bitches’ around you? What does that mean? What’s a ‘green tea bitch’?” someone who read fast had already flipped to the middle.

“There’s an explanation here.”

Everyone perked up and gathered around, those who hadn’t seen this section quickly flipped to that page. After reading, everyone had a complex, knowing look in their eyes, sharing silent conversations, feeling like they were clearing the fog.

It seemed… there really were such people around them.

In the past, when they had been manipulated and marginalized by ‘white lotuses’ and ‘green tea bitches,’ they could only silently suffer the loss. There was no way around it; it just sounded like the other person was reasonable, and they couldn’t argue back. They lacked the wit, endured the loss, and even faced misunderstandings from friends and family.

Everyone still said that ‘white lotuses’ and ‘green tea bitches’ were kind-hearted at their core.

Now, being analyzed so clearly and simply in the book felt like an epiphany.

“That’s so insightful.”

“Wuwuwu… Now sister won’t have to worry about me being bullied by the office ‘white lotus’ anymore.”

“Ahahaha… So satisfying.”

“This book is well-written; scumbags are hateful, but ‘white lotuses’ and ‘green tea bitches’ are even worse.”

Everyone nodded unanimously, showing expressions of agreement.

After all, not everyone would encounter a scumbag; most men of this era were still very simple and hard-working. If someone were really scummy, once their reputation spread, all the women would stay far away from them.

But ‘white lotuses’ and ‘green tea bitches’ were different. That era was never short of such people, and everyone had encountered them from childhood, yet they struggled to express their grievances and were often misunderstood.

If you spoke out, others might accuse you of being unreasonable, jealous, and narrow-minded.

Su Wen was voicing the grievances of everyone!

Just then, in a corner, a girl was holding a book and started sobbing quietly, saying between sobs, “My… my mother was driven to divorce by… by a ‘green tea bitch’…”

In the aisle, everyone exhaled in unison, not caring whether they knew each other or not, they all came forward to comfort the young girl.

They were all Su Wen’s readers, liked the same author, and had common ground due to similar interests, soon becoming friends.

The girl who had just been crying cracked a smile.

“Hey! What’s this?” Someone accidentally flipped to a folded poster sandwiched in the book, pulled it out, and unfolded it to reveal its true face.

What caught their eyes was Dong Na in full fierce mode, looking every bit the queen, with a poised and slender figure, wearing a black dress, red lips, curly hair, and carrying a honey-brown handbag.
