I didn't know how to respond to her awkward question. What did Tangsao mean? Is she going to divorce Tangge?
I laughed dryly and didn't say anything. Tangsao seemed disappointed and told me to go to sleep in my room. I instantly felt regret; although I was from the countryside, I wasn't stupid. I knew what Tangsao wanted to hear.
But those were things that I couldn't bring myself to say since I was still related to Tangge by blood. Thinking about it in the confinement of my mind was different from actually articulating it.
I suddenly remembered the package delivered in the afternoon. ”Tangsao, here's your stuff.” I pa.s.sed it to her and reflexively turned my head to look again.
Tangsao's expression was confused and opened the box right in front of me. Instantly, her face contorted. ”Zhuang Feng, are you crazy? Why did you buy these?!”
”Ah.” I felt exasperated. I paid the bill myself, and now Tangsao is mad at me? What the h.e.l.l is going on?
”Tangsao, didn't you order this? Look, there's even a receipt,” I replied bitterly.
”That's impossible, Saozi isn't that desperate!” She rolled her eyes.
She didn't look like she was lying. Even though I haven't been with Saozi for long, I still knew her personality. Strange, was the delivery man really a scammer, then?
Tangsao was smart and quickly found the adult store online through the voucher. She called its service number and grilled the manager for details. He responded that it was another person who made the order and requested payment on delivery. They were only following instructions.
We felt even more puzzled, and Tangsao asked the manager for their phone number. At first, he wouldn't budge in the name of ”customer privacy”, but when she threatened to call the police, he panicked and promptly relented.
”I'm going to see, just who is this irritating!” Tangsao angrily dialed the number.
”h.e.l.lo, who is this?” The female voice at the other end spoke perfect Mandarin.
Tangsao flared up. ”Was it you who seduced Zhuang Dongliang?”
”Huh?” The woman sounded disoriented.
”You b**ch, you tempted my husband, and dared to send d*ldos into my home? Come at me in person if you're not a coward!” It was clear that Tangsao couldn't swallow her pride. If it were me, I wouldn't be any less furious if someone were to steal my girlfriend and have me pay for s.e.x toys.
”Oh, h.e.l.lo, this is Feida Collection Agency. Your husband Zhuang Dongliang took out an overdue loan of five hundred thousand plus.* He hasn't been picking up his phone, so we're trying to contact his family. Please return the loan, or else we will be forced to take legal measures. If it becomes necessary, we will dispatch personnel to visit your home.”
*About 77,000 USD.
Tangsao's brows furrowed. ”Are you joking? How could he take out a loan?”
”Oh, if you don't believe me, here's my number, 134-x.x.x-x.x.xx. I'll scan the contract and send it to you.” Soon, Tangsao received a load of photos. There was his signature, a picture of him holding the contract, and all the agreed terms and conditions.
Tangsao's face darkened, and she started to shake. ”This sick b.a.s.t.a.r.d, is he getting tired of living?!”
”Saozi, don't be sad. Maybe he wasn't thinking straight.” I wasn't used to comforting people, and my words were no more than pouring salt in a wound.
