Ch 193: The Tide Has Turned
“No! I must help with this! I’m determined to help!” Principal Chen Nanmu suddenly retorted, his attitude unwavering.
“Me too, I’m not afraid of being implicated,” Teacher Zhang also chimed in.
Xiang Zhihang’s heart warmed again. So, besides Qingyang, there were still people who cared about him. Xiang Zhihang suddenly felt that his life wasn’t so dark after all, that there was still a bright side.
Du Qingyang patted Xiang Zhihang’s arm and nodded slightly to Xiang Zhihang. Her eyes seemed to say, “Brother Zhihang, please accept the kindness of the two teachers, don’t refuse.”
An Wei also reached out and patted Xiang Zhihang’s other arm, nodding subtly to him as well. “Big Boss, accept it. You’re not alone, we all love you.”
Xiang Zhihang’s nose tingled, and he almost burst into tears. Having grown up so much, it was the first time that so many people cared about him and helped him, giving him a feeling of being overwhelmed by favor.
“Qingyang, it’s bad, it’s bad…” Suddenly, Ning Sisi shouted as she rushed in, holding a newspaper in her hand.
Everyone looked over together. The worst had already happened, what else could be bad?
Ning Sisi ran in breathlessly, not having time to explain, and directly handed the newspaper to Du Qingyang.
Everyone gathered around to look, it was the latest newspaper that had just been released. A large portion of it reported on the abandonment incident.
No, it was an in-depth exploration of the abandonment!
“According to sources, Du Qingyang is preparing to incite the villagers of San Nan Village and the teachers of San Nan Village School to speak up for her and Xiang Zhihang. Du Qingyang opened a clothing factory in San Nan Village, and the villagers are vying to be workers in the factory, not daring to offend her, so they had to agree. Du Qingyang once secured education funds for San Nan Village School, and the teachers also gave her face, so they agreed.”
◈◈◈
After reading the newspaper report, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, a chill all over their bodies.
Who is this heartless fellow, lying through their teeth? Every line reveals dissatisfaction with Du Qingyang. Everyone wants to explain for Qingyang, and it becomes Qingyang threatening them?
Ning Sisi felt that the situation was serious, so she rushed to tell everyone.
Originally, Ning Sisi was thinking of organizing the workers to go to major newspapers to explain things properly to the reporters. The workers are all from San Nan Village, and they know the Xiang Family’s mess the best.
Unexpectedly, before she could even organize, such a report came out.
Once the report is out, no one will believe it even if everyone goes to testify and explain!
Principal Chen Nanmu and Teacher Zhang’s faces sank again and again. Who is so vicious? They even blocked their last hope?
Principal Chen Nanmu and Teacher Zhang couldn’t help either, there was no need to explain. Even if they explained, others wouldn’t believe it.
This time, Ding Haoyuan also experienced the predicament of not explaining. He really wanted to swear! Who is that insider? Or, is there no insider? Did the newspaper write it randomly?
How could things turn out like this? Before they could even think of a countermeasure, they were punched hard again!
No, it was Du Qingyang who was punched hard! Du Qingyang had been smeared as black as could be!
Du Qingyang clenched her fists, she probably knew who this insider was.
Besides Yao Lin, who else could it be?
Unexpectedly, Yao Lin was so meticulous, and even thought of blocking the mouths of the villagers of San Nan Village. Du Qingyang suddenly realized that she had underestimated Yao Lin, the female protagonist in the original novel was not as weak as she had imagined.
Xiang Family Home.
Xiang Hua, Lu Yu, and Xiang Bao took turns to question Yao Lin, when exactly would they be able to get half of Xiang Zhihang’s property?
The whole day has passed, why isn’t there any movement at all?
Not only was there no movement, the Xiang Family Members didn’t even dare to leave their house now. Because, as soon as they went out, they would be scolded by the villagers.
“Your family is really heartless, how can you say such upside-down words!”
“Doing such evil, aren’t you afraid of retribution?”
◈◈◈
“How can there be such vicious people like you in the world?”
◈◈◈
The Xiang Family Members can deceive outsiders, but they can’t deceive the villagers of San Nan Village. The villagers know exactly what the truth is.
As soon as the newspaper came out, the villagers scolded the Xiang Family Members as soon as they saw them, scolding them with all sorts of nasty words. Even children threw stones at the Xiang Family Members.
As a result, Xiang Hua and Lu Yu didn’t dare to go out to do farm work, and Xiang Bao didn’t dare to go back to school. The family of three could only hide at home, with the door locked tightly.
Yao Lin was worried today, afraid that the Xiang Family Members would lose their composure and ruin her good deeds, so she came to the Xiang Family Home to see what was going on. Sure enough, they just couldn’t hold back, they were already yelling after only one day.
“Hasn’t it only been a day? What are you guys in a hurry for?” Yao Lin rolled her eyes.
Although it had only been a day, the Xiang Family Members couldn’t go out, it was like a year.
“Just tell us exactly how long it will take? How long will it take to get half of Xiang Zhihang’s property.”
“I don’t know.”
Yao Lin’s attitude towards the Xiang Family Members was no longer as good as before. Anyway, now that Du Qingyang’s momentum was gone, she only needed to delay the Xiang Family Members. Delaying for one day was one day. If she couldn’t delay, she wouldn’t lose anything.
“You—” Xiang Hua suddenly stood up, looking like he was going to hit Yao Lin.
Yao Lin’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly softened her expression, explaining, “I really don’t know how long Xiang Zhihang can hold on. But, he will eventually not be able to hold on one day.”
In Yao Lin’s words, the day Xiang Zhihang couldn’t hold on and came to beg for peace, the Xiang Family Members would be able to get half of his property.
What if Xiang Zhihang keeps insisting and doesn’t come to beg for peace?
Impossible! If Xiang Zhihang doesn’t come to beg for peace, his business will not be able to continue.
“You don’t know yet, but as soon as today’s newspaper came out, the business of Zhi Hang Qian Li Store plummeted.”
“Just imagine, if the business in the store gets worse day by day, can Xiang Zhihang still sit still? Of course he will come to beg for peace.”
“When Xiang Zhihang comes to beg for peace, you can make demands, demanding half of his property.”
After listening to Yao Lin, Xiang Hua’s anger instantly disappeared by half. Then wait a little longer. For that half of the property, he wouldn’t go out!
Lu Yu and Xiang Bao also stopped making a sound. After listening to Yao Lin’s words, they also believed that Xiang Zhihang would definitely come to beg for peace. Otherwise, Xiang Zhihang’s business would not be able to continue.
Only when Xiang Zhihang comes to beg for peace with the Xiang Family Members, letting the world know that he has turned back to shore and no longer abandons his adoptive parents, will his business get better again.
Seeing that the Xiang Family Members were so easy to fool, Yao Lin felt much more at ease. Business isn’t something that can get better just by saying so? As long as the time is long enough, Du Qingyang and Xiang Zhihang will definitely go bankrupt and never recover!
Yao Lin decided to take time to come to the Xiang Family Home every day, to comfort the Xiang Family Members properly, to stabilize them properly, and to continue to drag this matter on. Until Du Qingyang and Xiang Zhihang go bankrupt and become paupers!
