Chapter 521: Happened to Uncover Some Unknown Matters
Liu Jiandong was naturally no fool; the crimes from the earlier incident had already been shouldered by him. Even if he dragged Ding Surong out now, it would bring him no benefit, only likely making his reputation even worse.
It would be better to use this leverage to gain something from Ding Surong.
He grabbed his own mother, leaning close to her ear: "If you want to ruin me and make me completely estranged from you, then continue making a scene."
Hearing these words, Ge Xiulan raised her hand, wanting to slap her thigh and cry injustice, but Liu Jiandong, with quick eyes and fast hands, caught her hand and warned through gritted teeth: "I keep my word. As long as you dare make a scene today and make me lose face, I will immediately ask the Party Secretary and the Village Head to split our household. From then on, we will never have contact again."
These words were undeniably heavy, directly frightening Ge Xiulan into silence. Thinking that the eldest son's side was already having an unpleasant dispute, if she also fell out with the second son in the future...
She dared not think too deeply.
Her heart was full of grievance, yet she had to compromise: "I understand. Let go."
After recovering for a moment, she then said to the village cadres who had rushed over: "It was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Dongzi has already explained everything clearly to me."
At this time, Liu Jiandong also spoke up at the right moment: "Yes, my mother only heard half of it, which is why she misunderstood me and Surong."
Ding Surong also stepped forward: "Sorry for causing everyone trouble, truly I am sorry."
Chuxue naturally saw their conversation and expressions clearly: "It seems this Zhiqing Ding is truly not an ordinary person?"
Fu Yan Cheng said indifferently: "His father is skilled at scheming, so naturally he inherited the true teachings to some extent."
Chuxue looked up at him: "You know his father?"
Fu Yan Cheng nodded lightly: "His father works at the Beijing Supply and Marketing General Corporation. The third sister's maternal aunt's husband works at the Department Store. Some unpleasant things happened before, and the third brother came to me."
Chuxue thought of something: "You investigated the Ding family privately?"
Fu Yan Cheng did not hide it: "Mm, I happened to uncover some unknown matters."
Chuxue became even more interested: "Can you tell me?"
Fu Yan Cheng raised his hand and turned her small face toward the Liu family's old house: "It is not good news, so I won't stain your ears with it."
Chuxue understood everything; it must be that, just like her, he had uncovered the shameful affairs between Ding Youwen and that Jiang Huiwen. However, regarding the incident that happened that day, did this fellow know about it?
With Liu Jiandong's threat, Ge Xiulan naturally did not continue to be unreasonable.
Seeing them quiet down, the village cadres gave a few warnings before leaving one after another.
The onlookers, seeing there was no show left to watch, also dispersed in twos and threes.
When Fu Yan Cheng and Chuxue arrived home, Liu's mother had already tidied up the room for Fu Yan Cheng, directly having him stay in the west wing room, the one farthest from Chuxue, which was the room next to the one reserved for Xia Qiu.
It was just that she did not know this arrangement suited Fu Yan Cheng's wishes perfectly.
After all, he was not staying because his future father-in-law and mother-in-law had urged him to, but because he had already decided to stay the night.
After both returned and washed up separately, they stood in the courtyard talking for a while before separating to return to their own rooms. They also told Liu's father and mother that they would have to depart for the city first thing tomorrow morning and could not affect work tomorrow.
In the middle of the night, the door of the west wing was gently opened by Fu Yan Cheng.
In fact, the moment he opened the door, Chuxue in the east wing opened her eyes. Even though it was a newly moved-into house, and even though he opened the door with great caution, there would still be a slight sound.
With Chuxue's current senses, she could naturally feel it.
Releasing her spiritual sense, she watched Fu Yan Cheng climb over the wall and leave the courtyard, then head straight toward the cattle shed not far away, and immediately understood.
