Judging by the situation between the scumbag and the second woman, they must have been having an affair for a long time, given how far things have escalated.
But Tian Xiang was a bit puzzled.
Zeng Qingwen is such a pretty girl, the daughter of an assistant factory director, but why?
Tian Xiang was hesitating about whether or not to shout for attention, when the situation ahead suddenly changed.
Zeng Qingwen bit Lu Feng, then lifted her bag and fiercely smashed it against him, with a vigor as if she were hitting an enemy.
If Tian Xiang hadn’t seen Zeng Qingwen with her own eyes linking arms with Lu Feng and kissing him, she would have rushed out to intervene.
So these two are tangled in a love-hate relationship, hard to break apart!
Ugh...
It’s all so complicated, even more confusing than those romance novels Tian Xiang read in the library’s storage room.
Tian Xiang couldn’t figure out what was going on in their heads.
Not far away, the contents of Zeng Qingwen’s bag were scattered all over the ground.
Lu Feng, also upset at being hit, ran ahead.
Zeng Qingwen chased him for a couple of steps, but when she couldn’t reach him, she cursed in frustration and turned back to pick up her things.
But as she picked them up, she started to feel upset, and tears fell down.
At that moment, a low voice came from the darkness, "It’s not worth it. He’s just a playboy, a scumbag dreaming of having countless women in his arms. Comrade, you’ve been deceived by his appearance and charm."
Zeng Qingwen stopped picking up her things, and cold sweat ran down her back.
"Who?"
She stared dead at the door a short distance away, wanting to get closer.
The voice spoke again, "I know you’re puzzled, so, how about making a bet with me?"
Zeng Qingwen felt a tightness in her heart, "Bet on what?"
"On whether he’s good or bad. You don’t need to do anything, just stay at home obediently, and I’ll find a chance to inform you. Remember, be sure to come."
The voice grew fainter, finally disappearing into the darkness.
Zeng Qingwen froze on the spot.
After a while, when the aunt who was tidying up the stage in front came over, she pointed at the door at the end of the corridor and said to the aunt, "There seems to be someone there."
The aunt went over with her broom and pulled the door open.
"There’s no one here! Qingwen, are you okay?"
Zeng Qingwen forced a smile, "I’m fine, maybe I saw it wrong."
Zeng Qingwen hastily picked up the things from the ground, lowered her head, and quickly walked away.
When she got to the big square outside, seeing many pedestrians coming and going, her pounding heart slowly calmed down.
She had been badly scared not just by the voice in the dark but also because her situation with Lu Feng had obviously been seen by someone.
Luckily, that person didn’t shout or cause a scene, otherwise, if her father heard about it, she wouldn’t be able to stay at the factory.
Who was it?
To actually say Lu Feng is a big scumbag and wanted to bet with her?
That person changed their voice, like pinching their nose while talking, but she could tell it was a woman’s voice.
Thinking about how Lu Feng had been spitefully going on blind dates recently, Zeng Qingwen gritted her teeth, "A bet it is."
By the flowerbed next to the square, once Tian Xiang saw Zeng Qingwen exit the factory gate, she stepped out from behind a tree.
She rubbed her nose, which was a bit uncomfortable from pinching, her lips curling into a smile.
Zeng Qingwen still had some temper and wits, not going directly to Lu Feng to tell him.
Very well, now she just needed to catch the scumbag’s weakness.
Tian Xiang turned back to the hall, wanting to see if Lu Zazha was there.
Today, having faced Zeng Qingwen’s temper, he might be seeking comfort with Widow Jiang.
Tian Xiang entered from the side door, but as soon as she walked in, a figure behind the door suddenly reached out to grab her.
What’s going on!
Tian Xiang quickly sidestepped to avoid it, grabbed the person’s arm, gritted her teeth, and did an over-the-shoulder throw.
This was something she learned from the master at the street’s theatrical troupe a few days ago.
The master said, young girls should learn some self-defense, could chase away dogs, and duel with perverts.
This was the first time Tian Xiang applied what she’d learned in practice.
After throwing the person out, she was so exhausted she nearly gasped for air.
Hell, who was this, quite heavy, she almost didn’t succeed.
The commotion at the side door attracted a lot of attention, several dancing couples rushed over to see the situation.
That’s when Tian Xiang finally saw who the person lying on the ground, holding their arm in pain, was.
No wonder they reached out so casually, it turned out to be Lu Zazha.
In the crowd watching, someone who recognized Lu Feng came forward to help him up and questioned Tian Xiang, how she could hit people.
Tian Xiang pointed at Lu Zazha, "You shouldn’t ask me, you should ask him! I was just entering from the outside when he suddenly reached out to grab me. Such hooligan behavior, shouldn’t I teach him a lesson?"
Is that so?
The crowd looked at Lu Feng with questioning eyes.
Lu Feng rolled on the ground, his clothes covered in dust, his hair disheveled, looking somewhat embarrassed.
He didn’t explain anything, just angrily glanced at Tian Xiang and walked away.
Tian Xiang pointed at him, "See for yourselves, he’s irritated and glared at me."
With the main character gone, the crowd didn’t know what to say about the incident, exchanged glances, and dispersed.
Click, just because he’s the male lead, even those standing up for her have disappeared, right?
Tian Xiang pushed her tongue against her back teeth, watching the departing figure, adjusted her hat, and followed.
Ahead, Lu Feng went directly to the bike shed, and when getting his bike, he hit and knocked over a row of bikes nearby in his carelessness.
Lu Feng didn’t bother to lift them back up, just kicked them in his frustration.
All day, aside from being praised by the leader in the afternoon as the host, everything else had been a mess.
Lu Feng was angry too, being beaten by Zeng Qingwen was one thing, but how could that shrew Tian Xiang dare lay a hand on him.
A girl from Sanli Lane, if she weren’t pretty...
Lu Feng yelled out, "What’s so great about it! Why?"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and after kicking a few more times, he left on his bike.
By the flowerbed in the distance, Tian Xiang turned her head and spat, cursed a couple of times about him being trash with no manners, and exited the gate.
She got on her bike parked outside and headed straight to Red Fifth Street settlement area, planning to stake out at Widow Jiang’s place.
The more rejected he was, the more he sought solace.
Lu Feng should be seeking Widow Jiang tonight.
After nearly ten busy days, finally, there was some movement.
Feeling excited, Tian Xiang was planning how to inform Zeng Qingwen when she passed under a two-story building, and suddenly a flowerpot fell from above.
With a loud "bang," the clay shards mixed with black soil exploded in front of her, just a half-second from hitting Tian Xiang’s head.
Tian Xiang jumped in fright and yelled at the kid on the second floor, "What are you doing? Trying to kill someone?"
The kid was stunned.
The child’s parent came out to check, quickly apologizing to Tian Xiang.
"Comrade, the kid wasn’t paying attention, I’m sorry."
Since it wasn’t intentional, Tian Xiang just said a few words of advice and continued riding forward.
But just as she reached the street corner, a bicycle suddenly rushed down from above.
