"She is Lian Yinseng's wife," Old Madam Chen simply replied.
Upon hearing this, Shi Lan immediately understood and turned to look at the woman across from her, saying, "And who might you be? It turns out it's the famed bureau chief's wife coming to the art gallery to throw her weight around."
"You... Don't talk nonsense," Lian Yinseng's wife said, suddenly feeling the sting of the accusation.
"She also insulted and threatened Teacher Chen," an employee of the art gallery reported to Shi Lan.
Shi Lan shielded Old Madam Chen behind her and then advanced towards Lian Yinseng's wife, step by step, asking, "What gives you the right?"
"I... I was her former employer," Lian Yinseng's wife said, backing away step by step but still trying to cling to her meager dignity.
"Did you pay her salary?"
"I..."
"Or did you provide for her food and clothing?"
"..."
Lian Yinseng's wife retreated to a stone pillar in the art gallery, her expression one of helplessness.
