Chapter 142 Rumors fermented rapidly in the darkness.
"Deng Xiuzhen! Who is she?" Kang Rongzhong ran over and asked loudly.
"Kang Rongzhong? What are you doing here at this time? Did something happen at your house earlier?" Deng Xiuzhen had vaguely heard some noise earlier, but when she went out to check, she only saw that the Kang family's house was closed and dark.
"Don't change the subject! Who is he!" Kang Rongzhong was very concerned about his reputation, so naturally he wouldn't tell others what had happened in his family.
"This is someone I know, what's wrong?"
"An acquaintance? I've never seen him before, someone who came out of your house in the middle of the night...an acquaintance?" Kang Rongzhong was furious.
He didn't want Deng Xiuzhen anymore, but since Deng Xiuzhen came from a small place, he had no choice but to reject her!
We must not have any disloyal thoughts before he gives his orders!
"What are you saying?!" Zhao Shuliang didn't want to say anything, but he couldn't stand Kang Rongzhong's sarcastic words.
"What did I say? Deng Xiuzhen and I have confirmed our relationship and are planning to get married after the New Year. Now she's sending a man out in the middle of the night. Who are you?!"
Kang Rongzhong's hands and feet were itching again; he wanted to hit someone again.
But reason told him that this was a man, and he might not be able to beat him. Besides, this was an outsider, and he couldn't hit him; doing so could be illegal.
"Xiuzhen, is he your fiancé?" Zhao Shuliang asked.
"No, I don't plan to be with him..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Kang Rongzhong angrily interrupted Deng Xiuzhen.
“I’m not talking nonsense. I did consider starting a family with you before, but now your wife and child have gone back. I won’t go into your family situation, but I don’t want to put myself and my daughter in any trouble…”
"It's clearly you who's fickle, and now that I've caught you red-handed, you're trying to shift the blame onto me?" Kang Rongzhong interrupted Deng Xiuzhen again.
"Believe it or not!" Deng Xiuzhen turned to Zhao Shuliang and said, "Uncle Zhao, you go back first. We'll talk in detail tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll be going now." Zhao Shuliang agreed and prepared to leave.
Through the light shining through the window, Kang Rongzhong saw Zhao Shuliang's appearance: an old man about the same age as his father.
He believed that what Deng Xiuzhen said was true.
However, if he wanted to get rid of Deng Xiuzhen, he couldn't make any mistakes himself, nor could he let Deng Xiuzhen dump him, so he had no choice but to...
Don't miss this opportunity!
"Don't let him go! Grab him!" Kang Rongzhong shouted as he saw Zhao Shuliang walk out of the courtyard and Deng Xiuzhen was about to close the door. He suddenly grabbed Deng Xiuzhen's hand.
The shout was perfectly timed, and Zhao Shuliang, who was already outside the courtyard, didn't hear it.
Those next door who heard the noise came out.
Of course, it's possible they woke up first and were eavesdropping.
Except for the one in the north room, all the other rooms had their lights on. Some people came out, while others peeked out from behind half-closed doors.
"Rongzhong! What happened?" Kang Xinyi rushed over and asked with concern.
He was angry because Kang Rongzhong hit Kang Lingli, but that was all he was angry about. Kang Rongzhong was still his most beloved child.
“Dad, Deng Xiuzhen, she, she…” Kang Rongzhong’s voice choked with sobs.
"What happened to her?" Ma Xiuyun and Deng Xiuzhen started their shop from scratch together, and they had a good relationship.
"A man just came out of his room, Deng Xiuzhen, how could you do this?" Kang Rongzhong questioned, looking heartbroken.
These words drew gasps of astonishment from those around them. One could vaguely hear someone say, "This woman...you wouldn't believe it!"
"What's wrong with me? Is it wrong for an acquaintance to come to my house?" Deng Xiuzhen coldly retorted to Kang Rongzhong.
At that moment, she realized what Kang Rongzhong was planning to do, but she didn't care.
"What are you two, a man and a woman, doing in the house in the middle of the night?" Kang Rongzhong, a natural actor, spoke with anger and sadness, his voice trembling.
“I’m still here at home! What do you mean, ‘a lone man and a lone woman’? What’s wrong with my Grandpa Zhao coming to see us? How can you have such filthy thoughts?” Wenjing couldn’t hold back any longer and came out to say.
"You can say whatever you want, right, Dad? Let's go!" Kang Rongzhong walked home with a wronged and dejected expression.
"I knew you were no good! You're a womanizer!" Kang Xinyi shouted, spat, and turned to leave.
“You…” Wenjing was furious.
"Wenjing!" Deng Xiuzhen stopped her.
There are four members of the Kang family here now. If a fight really breaks out, Ma Xiuyun won't help them, but she definitely won't help herself either.
Those watching the commotion not only won't care, but they'd probably be hoping things would escalate.
After all, Kang Rongzhong framed himself for having an affair with another man behind his fiancé's back.
This is something everyone is happy to hear.
The saying "A widow's door is always a source of gossip" has been around for a long time, and there's a reason for it.
The same applies to divorced women; they will face a constant stream of troubles.
The Kang family went back inside, Deng Xiuzhen and Wenjing closed the door, and the others also went back.
The courtyard quickly returned to tranquility.
But the rumors spread rapidly in the darkness.
The next day, news of Deng Xiuzhen flirting with men spread throughout the alley.
Thanks to Kang Xinyi's efforts, it is still spreading outwards.
Once again, he successfully drew everyone's attention, letting them know about Deng Xiuzhen's secret rendezvous with a man. Hearing everyone asking each other which man Deng Xiuzhen was, Kang Xinyi happily hummed a little tune as he went home.
"Hello, Mr. Kang!" Qian Leming greeted Kang Xinyi immediately upon seeing him.
This morning, Deng Xiuzhen found him and said that she would no longer rent the house to the Kang family and that they should move out immediately. She would bear all the penalties and other costs.
Although Qian Leming did not know Deng Xiuzhen's true identity, he knew that she was a landlady, and a landlady with special people taking care of her.
He acted immediately, bringing the necessary documents to the Kang family to reclaim the house.
He arrived quickly, but no one was home at the Kang family's residence. He inquired around nearby and heard some rumors.
He couldn't help but shake his head inwardly: "The Kang family will probably regret this to the core in the future!"
"Hello, Xiao Qian, what brings you here today?" Kang Xinyi was in a good mood and spoke in a light tone.
"Mr. Kang, it's like this, the landlord has an urgent matter and needs to take back the house. Please move out soon," Qian Leming said with a smile.
"What? My lease hasn't expired yet, why should I move out? I'm not moving!" Kang Xinyi's good mood was ruined.
"Mr. Kang, to be honest, although the landlord has his reasons for doing this, it is indeed difficult to deal with, and I have a lot of objections."
I came right away because of your situation, because I think you should cancel the lease.
Your son is so successful, running such a big company, why don't you move to a bigger place?
"This house is so shabby, how could it be worthy of your current status?"
Qian Leming prepared a set of arguments based on the business principle that harmony brings wealth.
Kang Xinyi immediately took it to heart, his eyes darting around as he said, "Then the landlord has to compensate us!"
“I have always admired a highly educated person like you with such magnanimity. It is my job and my honor to help you fight for your rights. Rest assured, I will do my best to maximize your rights!” Kang Leming said, offering both flattery and assurance.
Kang Xinyi found it particularly useful.
