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 clearly now, and honestly, I feel way better already!”

Her words made Ah Liu chuckle in amusement.

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

“Yep, 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 she could do about that feeling.

Still, she held firm trust in Ah Liu.

Back in the day, Xiao Fu had been his study buddy, so he surely knew Xiao Fu’s writing style well. That meant the letter was unquestionably penned by Xiao Fu at the time.

The biggest possibility pointed to Lu Shuangshuang telling lies.

Evidence might be missing right now, but the balance in her mind had begun tilting already.

She only wondered how to track down that Xiao Fu precisely.

Yet, learning that Ah Liu was recalling numerous past events lifted her spirits a great deal.

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

Reports from the initial couple of days revealed Chen Kaijin’s lightning-fast 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 her request for cash raised no red flags.

Chen Kaijin grabbed every bit of funds available from the furniture city’s accounts and snatched up multiple pending orders, then visited customers to chase down the outstanding balances.

For those refusing to pay up, she pulled out stories of her cancer diagnosis, warned of the furniture city’s impending shutdown, stressed her desperate need for treatment funds, and questioned their conscience for blocking her chance at survival.

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

“How much cash did she pull in altogether?”

After listening to Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng’s account, Chiang Xiao couldn’t contain her laughter. She figured this Chen Kaijin was a real clever one, smart enough to snag those overdue orders and squeeze payments from the buyers.

It looked like the Chen Family had real business chops in the past, and from her knowledge, Chen Kaijin wasn’t some clueless fool.

“They say it topped twenty-seven thousand, counting the product payments.”

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

Either way, she could easily head to a major hospital for a full check-up.

The image of Deng Qingjiang losing his mind over her schemes had Chiang Xiao fighting back waves of laughter.

True to form, when they described Deng Qingjiang’s response, Guan Tiezhu’s lips quirked in a grimace.

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

“Hahaha.” Chiang Xiao erupted in hearty laughter.

It was downright hilarious.

“But during her spat with Deng Qingjiang, Chen Kaijin blamed it all on you, saying Xiao Chiang had guided her, and 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 the woman keeping her involvement hidden.

Plus, even without her stirring the pot, Deng Qingjiang would have targeted her sooner or later. They were rivals locked in conflict across two lives, after all.

Ding Haijing, perched nearby, remarked with a shake of his head, “I think you’ve riled up a good number of folks.”
