Chapter 487 - 486: Blame

Chapter 487: Chapter 486: Blame

Zhuang Caixin listened to this, full of confusion, "Yaozhong, what are you talking about?"

"I’m saying your whole Zhuang family is finished, just because Zhuang Xinhai did a stupid thing." Gu Yaozhong felt that Zhuang Xinhai was brainless.

"What stupid thing?"

Zhuang Caixin instinctively asked.

"You must have heard the rumors about Yi Yi’s mother recently, right? Isn’t it you guys who spread those rumors? That’s why Mr. Ding was so furious and retaliated against your Zhuang family."

"What... impossible."

Zhuang Caixin quickly denied, "Why would our family spread such rumors? Moreover, it’s not even a rumor, Ding Yuejun really did find a lover. That day at the birthday banquet, the lover didn’t even try to hide it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yaozhong finally confirmed that the rumors were indeed spread by them, as no one else even thought down that line.

"How do you know Yi Yi’s mother found someone like that?"

"Because Xinhe saw it with his own eyes."

Zhuang Caixin hurriedly said, then recounted the events of that day.

Gu Yaozhong sneered repeatedly.

"So your brother held a grudge and spread the rumors. You guys are really bold and reckless. Mr. Ding may be old now, but haven’t you heard about his younger days?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Caixin froze for a moment.

She then recalled what her parents had told her about the families in Shangjing, about Mr. Ding being known for his ruthlessness in his younger days, and involuntarily shuddered inside, quickly saying: "Xinhe certainly wouldn’t casually spread it."

"You better go home and ask your good brother. If he really spread the rumor, then Mr. Ding’s actions make sense. Your brother lost his job, and it wasn’t unjust, considering he embezzled public funds. In the future, your family better be careful, don’t do stupid things anymore."

At this moment, Gu Yaozhong was simply furious, he never thought his wife really knew about this, and yet she failed to keep an eye on Zhuang Xinhai.

And now, Zhuang Caixin couldn’t care about anything else, she quickly ran out to find Zhuang Xinhai again.

When Zhuang Xinhai saw his sister coming again, he furrowed his brows and said, "Sis, didn’t I say I want to be alone for a while?"

"Xinhe, let me ask you, did you spread the rumor about Ding Yuejun having a lover a while ago?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Xinhai froze for a moment, then directly lowered his head, ignoring Zhuang Caixin.

Seeing her brother like this, Zhuang Caixin understood everything. She couldn’t help but pat his shoulder and said, "Xinhe, how could you do such a thing? Now it’s known to Mr. Ding, so you got fired by your unit."

"What... you said it’s the Ding family who did this?"

Zhuang Xinhai hurriedly raised his head upon hearing this.

Zhuang Caixin glared at her brother and said: "You originally embezzled public funds, if you didn’t make mistakes yourself, Mr. Ding wouldn’t have had a reason to fire you. Now, get up quickly, come with me to apologize to the Ding family."

However, Zhuang Xinhai was full of resentment.

"So it was the Ding family, I knew it, I was doing my job well, why would I be fired by my unit?"

Seeing her brother like this, Zhuang Caixin felt bewildered.

At this point, her brother still hadn’t realized his mistake, and kept shifting blame to others. It’s clear the fault was originally his, which gave Mr. Ding leverage. Yet he remains impulsive.

"Do you want to ruin our family before you’re satisfied?"

Recalling Mr. Ding’s past actions, Zhuang Caixin couldn’t help but yell.

"What’s wrong with you, sis? This matter was originally their fault." Zhuang Xinhai continued stubbornly.

"Shut up..."

A roar came from outside the door, it turned out Father Zhuang and Mother Zhuang had returned, and heard the sibling’s dialogue clearly.

Father Zhuang couldn’t help but step forward and slapped Zhuang Xinhai.

"Turns out it’s you, the rebellious son, no wonder Mr. Ding went after us, you’ve harmed us terribly."

"Dad..."

Zhuang Xinhai looked at Father Zhuang incredulously and said, "Why did you hit me, I didn’t make a mistake."

"You still dare to be stubborn."

Father Zhuang immediately picked up something nearby and threw it at him.

Zhuang Xinhai was caught off guard and got hit.

Mother Zhuang stood by watching coldly as her son; now the Ding family was targeting the Zhuang family, they might not be able to stay in Shangjing much longer, yet this rebellious son still dares to speak wildly, seemingly bent on ruining the family.

At this moment, Father Zhuang finally calmed down, and forcefully grabbed Zhuang Xinhai.

"Now go apologize to the Ding family."

"I won’t go."

Zhuang Xinhai snorted coldly and said: "I didn’t do anything wrong. Didn’t Ding Yuejun have a lover? Is it wrong to say so? If she dares to do it, she’s fair game for talking."

Seeing his son still obstinate, Father Zhuang almost wanted to strangle him.

Mother Zhuang helplessly shook her head and said: "Old Zhuang, it’s too late to say anything now, you retired early, and Xinhe lost his job, how is our Zhuang family supposed to stay in Shangjing in the future?"

"What... dad, what do you mean you retired early."

Zhuang Caixin looked at her father incredulously, unable to help but ask.

Father Zhuang couldn’t help but sneer: "Wasn’t it thanks to your brother’s handy work. I was supposed to have several years left before retirement, but suddenly I was forced to retire early. Only now do I know it was all because of this rebellious son, Zhuang Xinhai."

Even Zhuang Xinhai was stunned.

"Dad, how could this be."

"How could this be? Isn’t it the trouble caused by this rebellious son?" Father Zhuang never thought he would leave the unit this way, remembering the looks from his colleagues, he was still in shock even at home, only to find out his son caused such a mess.

At this moment, Zhuang Caixin was also in shock, unable to comprehend how things turned out like this.

Mother Zhuang then spoke: "Caixin, you should go home now." This daughter was already married into the Gu family and should not be implicated.

Hearing this, Father Zhuang nodded in agreement, "Yes, Caixin, you should go back, you don’t need to worry about family matters."

However, Zhuang Xinhai complained: "If sis hadn’t tried to introduce Ding Yuejun to me, how would so many things have happened?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Caixin was incredulous.

At this moment her brother actually blamed her, when she wanted his best interest, hoping he could connect with the Ding family, yet things turned upside down.

The Zhuang family was in chaos, but the Ding family was joyful, at that moment Ding Yuejun finally relaxed because the rumors about her were finally resolved.
