Chapter 243 malicious defamation
Zheng Wentao and Zheng Minglong stood in the living room without saying a word. After a long time, Zheng Minglong sighed, "Dad, I'm back at school."
Zheng Wentao gave a "Yes" and watched his son leave. He turned to his parents and said, "Dad, mom, you two can stay here as long as you want. I'll get a nanny to take care of you tomorrow." After that, he went out with his briefcase.
The master would rather live outside by himself and ask the nanny to take care of them than to look after the elders. It was obvious that they were already tired of it. The neighbors who were watching the show all gave Mrs. Zhenglao a look of disdain. The old woman was too capable of making a fuss. Soon, the old lady's reputation spread all over the place.
Silence was restored in the room, and Zheng Heping's voice was so cold that it turned to dust, "Are you satisfied?"
The old lady shivered in the summer. She was unhappy these days, thinking that her granddaughter from a prestigious school would not be able to recognize her. The families of the Zheng family lost all their money on Qiongzhou island, but they haven't recovered yet. So when she came back, she threw a tantrum at Zheng Mingfeng. How could she have known that that wretched girl had such a temper that she would always talk back and scold her and take her bag away whenever she disagreed? Now even Li Xiaoqin, the daughter-in-law, dared to throw her face at her, and her grandson and son did not go after her.
Her heart was burning with anger, but she was also a shameless person. Now that they were all gone, she panicked instead.
Zheng Wentao was also a man of his word. The next day, he came back with a nimble nanny to take care of the old couple. He did not move out himself, but left early and returned late. He did not eat at home. He only slept at home and rarely talked to the old couple.
When the other Zheng family brothers and sisters learned that they were in such a mess, the two brothers and sisters came to ask about the situation, and naturally persuaded Zheng Wentao to call Li Xiaoqin back. After all, it was not a problem to stay in the hotel.
Li Xiaoqin came back reluctantly, but did not give her mother-in-law a good look, and no longer obey her, and went to work and work every day as usual. Anyway, the family hired a nanny, so she didn't have to do housework. It was just a relief. Every day, after dinner, she went back to her room, and basically had no communication with her parents-in-law, directly continuing the cold war.
On this day, it was sunny and sunny.
Jiang Chuheng drove Li Haitang to the suburbs early in the morning. They also brought some food and tools for a picnic. They went down the river to fish and crabs and Snail. They cooked an interesting meal on the stove and had a sweet and happy weekend.
Back in the city around four o' clock in the afternoon, jiang chuheng sent her to the entrance of Piedmont garden. When Li Haitang was about to get off, Jiang Chuheng seized the opportunity to take advantage of it quickly.
Their movements in the car happened to be seen by Sun Bingqing who was driving past. She had just returned from outside, and when she turned the corner, she saw that the car in front of her was Jiang Chuheng's. She slowed down and followed them, stopping right behind her. Then she saw the scene that made her blood clot.
My cousin suspected that he was chasing Li Haitang, but now she was sure that they were already together, and...
Her fingers gripped the steering wheel tightly together, the veins on the back of her hands bulging, her teeth clenching her bloodless red lips, her eyes firmer, and she quickly turned away.
Twenty days of vacation were over in the blink of an eye. Jiang Chuheng had to say goodbye to his family and Li Haitang, and then carry his luggage back to work.
Li Haitang drove him to the train station and waited for the train to start before returning. Instead of going straight home, she went to the post office and sent li rong a sum of money.
After half a year, Li Rong finally got through to his family and took some time to quit his job in the factory. He decided to temporarily run a long distance transportation, go to the south to sell wholesale goods back to the provincial capital, earn more capital before considering expanding his business. Li Haitang was able to buy a used car with good performance for him, but the price was not low, and he was short of a lot of money, so he still borrowed a sum from her.
Coming out of the post office, he planned to buy some chicken cakes for his grandparents at the famous pastry shop nearby. He walked less than ten meters and happened to meet Zheng Minglong and Zheng Mingfeng.
"Sister!" Zheng Minglong shouted with joy as soon as he saw her. Zheng Mingfeng was working nearby. He came to see her today, but he didn't know that he would see Li Haitang here.
Zheng Mingfeng's face darkened when he heard his joyful "Sister." When did his brother become so familiar with her? Could it be that everything she said to herself in the past was perfunctory? Did she already have a good relationship with the rest of the family behind her back?
A series of questions popped up in her head, and then she remembered the news that her gentle sister had unintentionally revealed to her the other day. Her face darkened a little again, and her eyes at Li Haitang were full of vigilance and vigilance.
Li Haitang still greeted Zheng Minglong with his usual expression. His eyes fell on Zheng Mingfeng, and when he saw that she was looking at him with an unfriendly look, he frowned slightly. She didn't want to get too involved with them. She took her eyes back and left after a brief conversation with Zheng Minglong.
As soon as she left, Zheng Mingfeng's attitude towards her brother was also extremely bad. "Minglong, you called her sister very happy."
Zheng Minglong's face froze, feeling helpless, "Sister, no matter what, she is our own sister. Even if we can't be a family in the future, we don't have to become enemies with her."
"Hmph, you're thinking right. Maybe he's just playing with you and trying to get on with you on purpose. What's the purpose of this?" Zheng Mingfeng was now filled with suspicion, especially when she realized that her brother had changed his mind. She was even more upset, didn't say hello, and returned to the company in a huff.
"Sister!" Zheng Minglong had a headache and had no choice but to catch up.
Li Haitang spent the next month preparing for the toefl exam and enrolling in a pre-exam training class. Every night, he went to class to study, so busy that he didn't even pay attention to the latest news.
Two days before the exam, Li Jie, the intelligence expert, rushed to the classroom to stop her. He took her to a secluded place and said in a low voice, "Li Haitang, it's such a big deal. I really admire you for being able to safely attend class."
"What is it?" Li Haitang was confused.
Li Jie exclaimed, "You didn't know?"
Li Haitang shook her head and told her, "I've been taking a toefl test recently. I'm taking the test the day after tomorrow. I didn't pay attention to anything outside. What happened?"
"Dizzy. No wonder you're so calm. You don't even know." Li Jie patted her on the head and said angrily, "You nerd, stop reading. Come with me."
Li Haitang sensed that something was wrong and immediately followed her.
Li Jie took her back to her dorm, but her roommates were not around. She showed her all the news about her in the newspapers recently, "Look, who said you, Mu Zihaitang, are cold-blooded, ungrateful, and don't support your parents? You want to steal the property of your biological parents? You want to use improper means to seduce the children of the high-ranking cadres for benefits? You want to rob someone else's fiance. The other party also sent the news to five or six newspapers. The news was published one after another the day before yesterday. I thought you would handle it. How did I know it was getting worse and worse? I was in a hurry to find you."
Li Haitang was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth. Without answering her, he read her carefully one by one. The news was all published in a prominent section, and these newspapers and magazines were very famous in the capital. It seemed that the other party was deliberately trying to make a mess of himself and made a huge contribution.
Li Haitang was so angry that his eyes turned red and he slapped the table as he read the newspaper describing himself as a scheming, cold-blooded, and ungrateful person.
"Li Haitang, we know that you are not such a person at all. This decisiveness is slander, but now that this has happened, it has a great impact on your reputation. What are you going to do about it?" Li Jie believed in her character. Although she did not know her background, she definitely believed that she was not such a person. She was a famous writer with money and fame, and would never covet other people's money.
Li Haitang pursed his lips tightly, thinking about what to do next.
Li Jie reminded her again, "Li Haitang, although your identity as a writer has not spread in school, this matter will definitely spread in the Writers' association. It won't be long before it reaches the school. The school will definitely talk to you then. You must be prepared."
"Yes, I see." Li Haitang's face was sullen. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "The other party is quite capable. Let him continue to torment him. Anyway, my identity can't be covered up, so just admit it generously. It would be better to make a big deal of it, and then fight back directly with the law. I'm not afraid of shadows. The news he gives to the newspapers is not real. I have nothing to fear. Facts speak louder than words. I just happened to see the identity of the messenger behind the scenes."
"You, you're right. Just, let this thing continue to ferment? Should we fight back now?" Li jie saw that her eyes were very sure, it seems that these reports are really false.
Li Haitang took a few deep breaths and decided, "Now I don't have time to talk to them. Let them perform for two days. I'll talk about it after the exam the day after tomorrow."
"Performance?" Li Jie almost laughed. In her eyes, those people were regarded as clowns.
Li Haitang smiled coldly. He quickly thought of the people he didn't want to deal with. Only the Zheng family, but they probably didn't know who their author was, and Zheng Wentao signed a letter of guarantee with him, knowing that they wouldn't share any property, so it wasn't them who did it.
But who else did she offend? I really can't figure it out.
When she got home from school, Xu Yueyang, Xia Lin, Ji Dongming, Zhou Yunyang, Xia Jin and other friends all called her. They were all angry and asked her what she was going to do next. Li Haitang explained what he had said to Li Jie, and asked Xia Jin to introduce a better lawyer to help her fight the case in a few days.
Sun Bingqing was holding a newspaper in his hand in the office of the teacher's university. After reading it, an ambiguous smile appeared on his lips. After work, she drove home. The first step had already been taken, and the second step had to be taken.
