Chapter 353: Chapter 340: Pah!

“It’s just a matter of spending a bit more money. Imagine, giving a lavish event for their son and putting forward a respectable front, why wouldn’t the Kong family do it?”

“After their marriage and after some time has passed, they would tell the world their only heir was gone, and Zhuang Qinghe wants to commit suicide out of devotion to her husband, who knows, they might gain back some reputation. This would not only save their face, they might even make some money out of it. Isn’t it the best of both worlds?”

“You know, in these elite families, there are plenty of dirty secrets. Don’t assume that all hearts are pure. To me, some people’s hearts can’t be cleansed, not even by the soles that have stepped on the dirt!”

Upon hearing Mrs. Zhao’s words, everyone present was so shocked their eyeballs nearly fell out.

She made a compelling point. And if one were to assess the situation, it wouldn’t exactly be a bad deal for the Kong family.

Their only heir, they could see him celebrate a joyous event in this world. Wouldn’t that fulfill a wish of theirs?

Most importantly, after going to such lengths to make this happen, who would suspect that this was their initial intention?

Doing something so unprecedented that it leaves you utterly baffled, makes you suspect everything but them.

This is truly a well-calculated move, and their hearts are indeed black.

Tsk, tsk, tsk…

Everyone present started to discuss this.

Mrs. Song turned pale instantly.

Zhuang Ruman’s face was even paler than hers. After a long time, he finally recovered his senses and furiously retorted, “Do you people believe everything that you hear?”

“It doesn’t matter what we say. What matters is what you know. Don’t tell me the Kong family didn’t tell you about this? You don’t know the truth?”

Mrs. Zhao was relentless. This time, her words were sharp as knives as she threw them at Zhuang Ruman, “Why do you think your family got a betrothal gift of three hundred taels? You don’t know?”

“You’re basically trampling over your own daughter’s life to eat, drink and splurge! And now when asked about it, you claim you were ignorant. Do you think everyone else is a fool? Parents who behave like this have no shame!”

“Why didn’t a thunderbolt from the heavens come down and strike you dead!”

The words of Mrs. Zhao had just landed when a loud ‘thunder’ sound was heard, startling everyone present.

Could it be that heaven could no longer bear to see a wicked person who dared to sacrifice his daughter’s life and wanted to use a thunderbolt to kill Zhuang Ruman?

If that’s the case, they should distance themselves from this place as quickly as possible. Otherwise, God might slip up and accidentally involve them too.

Witnessing this, everyone started pushing each other to get away from the place.

Even Mrs. Zhao, who had led the shouts and rebukes, hurriedly left as well.

Only Zhuang Ruman and Mrs. Song were left standing there like stunned chickens, terrified that they would be punished by thunder, they shrunk in fear.

Once confirmed that there was only that one thunderclap and no more, Zhuang Ruman quickly regained his spirit. Hands on hips, he spat on the ground, “Bah!”

“That so-called wrath of God is pure nonsense!”

“If that old fellow could really see what’s going on, he should be looking for people who are much worse than me. How could he bother with a small fry like me?”
