Widow Jiang and Lu Feng are dating???
The crowd was stunned, and then they burst into laughter.
A decent young man, a distinguished officer of the factory, dating a widow!
Who would believe such a thing?
At this moment, Wu Jinzhu hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and started cursing the smug Widow Jiang, "Jiang Peiqin, you shameless old thing! You’re so old and still trying to take advantage of my son! Stop spouting nonsense here!!"
Wu Jinzhu shouted and directly rushed forward, grabbing at Widow Jiang’s face and hair, with the two women wrestling together in a chaotic mess.
One screamed and the other shouted, making a disgraceful scene.
A few members of the security team wanted to cover their faces, suggesting to stop the fight, but the two women wouldn’t listen, leading to men and women pulling and tugging at each other, which was quite a scene.
With the security team present, the onlookers wisely chose to watch the show from a distance, avoiding getting involved in the mess.
Widow Jiang had a bad reputation in the area, and some women even took the opportunity to curse her louder than necessary.
Serves her right for living such an unruly life.
Lu Feng, too, a decent young man and a knowledge youth, known as a modern poet on Red Fifth Street, who knew he was so wanton at heart, sneaking into a widow’s house at night.
You can’t judge a person by their appearance, nor the sea by its depth.
Some people shook their heads silently, realizing they had misjudged him.
Captain Qian from the security team instructed Lu Feng, "You better separate the two! We’ll discuss this at the station later."
This implied they intended to take the people involved in for questioning.
Lu Feng felt a pang of worry, took a deep breath, and was about to intervene to break it up when Zeng Qingwen arrived, heard the surrounding comments and curses, lost her composure, and rushed inside, slapping Lu Feng three times.
She was about to hit him again when Lu Feng stepped back, avoiding it.
Seeing the furious Zeng Qingwen, who seemed ready to devour him, Lu Feng, who had been holding his composure, finally panicked.
"Qingwen, it’s not like that, don’t listen to what they say, I..."
Lu Feng wanted to explain, but Zeng Qingwen wouldn’t listen, she picked up a chair in the room and swung it at Lu Feng’s head.
As expected from a character with a heroic persona, Tian Xiang’s jaw dropped, feeling she couldn’t compare.
The people inside and outside the courtyard were also shocked, nobody expected the young woman who suddenly dashed in to not only hit but also take up a weapon.
By the time everyone reacted, Lu Feng’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
At this point, the two women wrestling finally stopped.
Wu Jinzhu pounced at her son, "Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng!! Zeng Qingwen, what right do you have to hit my son? What qualifies you? It’s your Zeng family that disagreed with this marriage, anything my son does isn’t your business, who do you think you are, just what are you???"
Wu Jinzhu shouted curses, and Zeng Qingwen didn’t linger any longer, flicked her hair, and left directly.
Inside the house, Wu Jinzhu sobbed, while people in the courtyard gossiped and pointed.
At this moment, the belated Father Lu rushed in and, together with the security team, carried Lu Feng to the street clinic.
Widow Jiang, disheveled and with a scratched face, wanted to flee but was stopped by a security officer.
"Comrade Jiang Peiqin, please come with us."
Widow Jiang was taken away, along with Tian Xiang and the enthusiastic old man and onlookers who came to catch the thief.
Since tonight’s incident had alarmed the security team, an investigation had to be carried out thoroughly.
Upon arriving at the street police station, the old men pointed at Tian Xiang.
They knew nothing, it was this young woman who said a thief entered Widow Jiang’s courtyard, and they went there to catch the thief.
Tian Xiang nodded.
Yes, she called these people.
But she wasn’t wrong!
Who wouldn’t get alarmed seeing a shadow sneaking into the courtyard?
She was just being a conscientious and warm-hearted citizen.
The two investigators nodded; they didn’t blame her as it was the right thing to do.
But no one expected to catch not a thief, but someone involved in an affair.
After completing the statements, Tian Xiang quietly asked an investigator, "This kind of thing, do they get sentenced? How is it usually handled?"
The case hadn’t been characterized, according to regulations, it couldn’t be disclosed outside.
However, the investigator, seeing Tian Xiang’s beautiful and sincere demeanor, hinted slightly,
"Generally, if it doesn’t involve destroying a family, and it’s just a personal conduct issue, it’s handled by the unit if there is one, otherwise, it’s handed over to the street committee."
Tian Xiang: "Then, what about Lu Feng?"
She wasn’t concerned with how Widow Jiang was dealt with; she only wanted to know what would happen to Lu Zazha lying in the clinic.
"That, we’ll have to wait until he wakes up and after investigating to determine."
This matter involved many aspects, and even the investigators were unsure.
Seeing it was almost ten, Tian Xiang could only head back home first.
Upon leaving the police station, under the tree by the roadside, Meng Cheng’an was waiting with a bicycle.
Unexpectedly, he was still there.
Tian Xiang hurriedly went over to thank him.
A moment ago, amidst the chaos, she hadn’t managed to thank him properly.
Zeng Qingwen arrived just in time, her plan was thus accomplished.
Seeing her all smiles, Meng Cheng’an asked, "Is this the big thing you mentioned?"
Tian Xiang nodded, "Yes!"
Meng Cheng’an also smiled, "You confessed just like that, aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Lu Feng?"
Tian Xiang shrugged, "I’ll face what I did alone, I’m not afraid he knows, you can do as you please."
Before leaving, Tian Xiang had checked her forehead in the mirror, the female lead’s label hadn’t been removed.
So, it didn’t matter, it might be best if she and Lu Feng became arch-enemies, never interacting again.
Tian Xiang spoke openly, not out of bravado, nor jokingly.
Meng Cheng’an looked at her with disdain, "Idiot."
Tian Xiang: "?"
Meng Cheng’an: "I was the one who called Zeng Qingwen over, telling on you would be telling on myself."
Oh, that’s right.
Tian Xiang laughed and said, "Sorry, Mr. Meng, I dragged you into this too."
Meng Cheng’an lowered his head, kicked the pebble at his feet, and looked at her again, "It’s getting late, I’ll give you a ride back."
It was indeed getting late, but...
Tian Xiang stared at his forehead, just as he had lowered his head, the white mist on his forehead reformed, changing from a supporting role 99+ to a minor antagonist 14.
Changing labels twice in one night, this character development was way too fast!
And changing from a supporting role to an antagonist didn’t seem like a good thing!
Minor antagonist:
Usually appears in certain scenes or Chapters to cause some hurdles and troubles to the protagonist, but doesn’t affect the overall direction of the story.
It seemed his character change was due to him helping by calling Zeng Qingwen.
Tian Xiang felt a bit apologetic.
The background character was harmed because of her, and she worried if Lu Feng would retaliate against him.
Tian Xiang: "By the way, stay away from Lu Feng for a while, don’t provoke him, got it?"
Tian Xiang decided to go to Lu Feng and clarify everything, taking full responsibility so that no one else would have to suffer because of her.
Meng Cheng’an nodded, "Okay."
The two rode bicycles back to Sanli Lane.
Meanwhile, at the Tian Family, Hu Honglian was anxiously waiting at the courtyard gate.
"It’s almost ten, didn’t the dance end at nine! What’s up with this kid? Even if chatting with Xiao Lu is going well, it’s too late to not know to come home!"
"No way, if they start dating, I’ll set a curfew time. Unless there’s a special situation, they must be home by eight..."
