Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2424: 2360: You've Offended Quite a Few People

Chiang Xiao let out a giggle.

“Dad, I get it all too clearly now, and honestly, I feel way better already!”

Her words brought a smile to Ah Liu's face.

“So, you really don't like her that much, huh?”

“That's right, I can't explain it, but even without meeting her, I just can't stand her.” Chiang Xiao felt puzzled herself; she simply disliked her, and there was nothing to be done about it.

Still, she placed her full trust in Ah Liu.

In the past, Xiao Fu had been his study partner, so he surely knew Xiao Fu's writing style well. Therefore, that letter back then was undoubtedly penned by Xiao Fu.

The truth pointed strongly to Lu Shuangshuang being the one who lied.

Though no proof existed yet, the balance in her mind had begun to shift.

She only wondered how to track down that Xiao Fu.

Yet, learning that Ah Liu was recalling more and more details lifted her spirits considerably.

On the following day, Luo Yongsheng and Guan Tiezhu started shadowing Deng Qingjiang.

Reports from the initial couple of days revealed Chen Kaijin's swift moves. Right after she visited Chen Kaijin and left the hospital, he dashed away and headed directly to the furniture city.

As Deng Qingjiang's spouse, she showed up there from time to time, and the staff knew her face, so they didn't question her request to withdraw funds.

Chen Kaijin grabbed every bit of cash available from the furniture city's accounts and snatched up multiple pending orders, then visited customers to collect the outstanding balances.

For those who refused to pay, she pulled out tales of her cancer diagnosis, warned that the furniture city faced imminent closure, explained her desperate need for treatment money, and questioned if they could live with denying her the funds to survive.

In this manner, she surprisingly rounded up the dues for all those orders.

“How much did she end up with altogether?”

Chiang Xiao burst into chuckles upon hearing the update from Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng. She found Chen Kaijin to be a real clever one, smart enough to grab those unsettled bills and squeeze payments out of the buyers.

It appeared the Chen Family had solid business roots, and from her knowledge, Chen Kaijin wasn't some clueless fool.

“They say it came to more than twenty-seven thousand, factoring in the product payments.”

Back then, close to thirty thousand could cover Chen Kaijin's care nicely, unless it was a condition that devoured cash endlessly or demanded long-term therapy.

In any case, she had plenty to afford a full checkup at a major hospital.

The idea of Deng Qingjiang losing his mind over her antics made Chiang Xiao struggle to contain her amusement.

As expected, when they described Deng Qingjiang's response, Guan Tiezhu's lips quirked in a grimace.

“This morning, a pair of visitors showed up demanding to buy his furniture city. One was a notorious thug with a fiery disposition. Deng Qingjiang insisted it wasn't up for grabs, and the two men he had with him nearly roughed him up, accusing him of toying with them and vowing not to drop the matter.”

“Hahaha.” Chiang Xiao couldn't stifle her laughter.

It was simply hilarious.

“But during her spat with Deng Qingjiang, Chen Kaijin accused you, Little Chiang, of coaching her, daring him to confront you if he had the nerve.” Guan Tiezhu shared this with a hint of concern in his gaze toward Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao shrugged it off completely.

“No worries, if he's bold enough, let him track me down.”

After all, from the moment she met Chen Kaijin, she hadn't counted on her staying silent about it.

Moreover, even without her stirring the pot, Deng Qingjiang would target her eventually. They were foes locked in conflict across two lives, after all.

Ding Haijing, perched nearby, remarked with a shake of his head, “I think you’ve stirred up quite a few people.”
