Chapter 31: Embarrassed

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Wei Gang was already in a fit of anger, and his anger overcame his rationality. As more and more people appeared around him, their discussion made Wei Gang slowly regain his rationality.

He could hit Li Lin, but there was no need to do so in front of so many people. He immediately stood up and glanced around coldly. “What are you all looking at? I’m teaching my wife’s cousin a lesson on her behalf. This is our family’s business. It’s none of your business.”

When everyone heard Wei Gang’s words, they immediately retorted, “Wei Gang, what kind of attitude is this? We don’t owe you anything. Why are you acting all high and mighty?”

“That’s right. No matter what, it’s wrong for you to hit people. Can’t you resolve things properly? Even if you can’t, you have to communicate properly. Do you think you can hit your wife’s cousin just because you’re her cousin-in-law?”

These people were not afraid of Wei Gang and didn’t indulge him at all.

Everyone spoke one after another, forcing Wei Gang to stay silent.

At this moment, someone passed by on a bicycle. When he saw Wei Gang surrounded by people, he sneered and said, “Isn’t this Director Wei? Previously, when my sister wanted to buy something from his factory, not only did he not lower the price for us, but he also said that he would only sell it to us if we gave him dozens of more yuan. At that time, we were wondering why there was such a shameless person. You’re not the only factory in the entire county city. What are you so smug about?”

“There’s such a thing? Wei Gang, you’re too immoral. We’re all from the same county. How can you screw over your own family? Who would want to buy things from your factory in the future? Would your factory manager let you off easily if he found out?”

“What a shady merchant. You’re really shameless and immoral!”

Someone who knew the factory Wei Gang worked at quite well also said, “I heard that he might get a promotion. How can such a shady person be promoted? In my opinion, we should write a report and let the factory manager see what his subordinate is like!”

Someone immediately echoed, “I think that’s a good idea. I heard that the factory manager is a good person. He must have been deceived by Wei Gang’s facade. If I hadn’t seen him hit a woman on the street today, even I wouldn’t have believed what you said.”

Wei Gang’s expression was dark as he glared at Li Lin.

Previously, in the shop, because of Li Lin, he had been humiliated by Song Jin and couldn’t be promoted anymore. Now, because of Li Lin, he was being pointed at and scolded. These people even wanted to report him to the factory manager!

Wei Gang hated Li Lin even more. He wished he could tie her up and whip her.

There were also some women who looked at Li Lin with complicated expressions and muttered softly, “If your wife’s cousin made a mistake, would you hit her on the street? I think he’s definitely not telling the truth. He probably has an affair with Li Lin. Perhaps Li Lin’s child is his!”

The woman’s offhand remarks made Wei Gang’s heart sink.

The others also reacted and echoed, “That’s right. Isn’t Li Lin’s child’s surname also Wei? Previously, I thought that Li Hai was on good terms with her and knew that Li Lin’s child didn’t have a father, so she let Li Lin’s child take her husband’s surname. Now, it seems that we were too naive. Perhaps this is Wei Gang’s child to begin with.”

“Li Hai is too pitiful. Does she know about this? Should we tell her?”

As Wei Gang listened to the analysis of the people around him, he felt a headache coming on. These people were really too smart. How could they guess all of this?

He couldn’t let these words reach Li Hai’s ears. He didn’t care if Li Hai would be sad or not, but he had to protect his reputation now.

If these people wanted to write a report to the factory, he could stop them directly. However, if the news reached Li Hai and he told Song Jin, he would be doomed.

“All of you, shut up. My relationship with Li Lin is very innocent. If you continue to spout nonsense, I’ll call the police and say that you guys are slandering me!”

However, just as Wei Gang finished speaking, he saw a police car park beside him.

Two young police officers got out of the police car and stared at Wei Gang. “Are you Wei Gang?”
