The ladies in the yard were discussing a piece of news that had attracted quite a lot of attention in Beijing recently. Insiders had come forward on various social media and forums to report that the daughter of a certain company’s boss had suddenly broken up with her fiancé who was about to get married. The two sides had a very ugly quarrel, and in the end the daughter’s ex-fiancé was even fired by the company’s boss from his newly promoted position and was kicked out of the company.
At first, netizens lamented that this must be a tragic story of a poor boy and a little princess being separated, but the subsequent development of the story was really unexpected. First, the fiancé repeatedly went to the door hysterically to win back the girl, and then a company employee witnessed a big quarrel between the rich girl and him. The whistleblower said that the fiancé’s mental state looked terrible. During the quarrel, his eyes were full of blood, and he seemed to have lost his mind and wanted to fight with his ex-girlfriend in public. Needless to say, the consequences were of course not mentioned. He just raised his hand and went to throw a few punches when he was pinned to the ground by the company security guards who came to protect the boss’s daughter after hearing the news and was then beaten and kicked and thrown out of the office building.
It was said that the daughter’s father was extremely angry when he heard that his daughter was beaten, and he directly declared that he would make it impossible for the young man named Huang Fengxiu to find a job locally from now on.
Then he even disclosed the other party’s past, announcing to the outside world that he firmly opposed the marriage because he discovered his daughter’s boyfriend’s past bad deeds. The bad deeds he mentioned were soon uncovered by the powerful netizens, and an old news story of a young woman jumping off a building and committing suicide that had not caused any waves a long time ago was pushed to the top of the trending news. Many neighbors in the community came out to speak out, revealing the fact that Huang Fengxiu brought the rich man’s daughter home for dinner shortly after his girlfriend, who he had lived with for many years, jumped off the building and died.
For a time, the internet was full of voices saying that everything will be rewarded, but these were after all distantly related netizens, and their knowledge of the inside story was far less clear than that of these local gossipy ladies.
As for the daughter of a wealthy family who was present at the time of the incident, many people present knew her.
Someone said: “You know, I met that man before. He pretended to be very good. At first glance, he seemed tall, handsome, reliable, and polite. It is said that he also worked hard to buy a house in Beijing. Wu Zong was very satisfied with this future son-in-law and said that he would hand over the company to him after a hundred years.”
The lady paused, and then lowered her voice a lot: “But things in the world are so mysterious. I heard that it all started with a dream of Mr. Wu. One day when he was sleeping, he suddenly dreamed of a young girl who said she was the man’s ex-girlfriend who had jumped off the building. She sat there and told him stories quietly for the whole night. When Mr. Wu woke up at first, he thought he was suffering from paranoia, but when he asked someone to check, it was all true! His daughter didn’t want to believe it at first, but who knew that the man suddenly became a lot more nervous recently, and his whole mood was very irritable. He couldn’t hold on for a little thing and was exposed. Everyone said that the female ghost was probably haunting him every day for revenge. Now he has lost his job and is said to be sick. Judging from his condition, he may have to sell his house to get treatment. Don’t you think it’s scary!”
Everyone was amazed, and one wife couldn’t help but sigh: “It’s really not easy for children to get married. We are worried about not choosing the right person, and we also have to be worried that they will end up choosing the wrong person. By the way, Wanrong, your eldest son, I remember you said before that he was engaged to the youngest daughter of the Wang family? When will the wedding be held?”
Most people outside didn’t know yet that the Wang family wanted to cancel the engagement. When Shu Wanrong heard someone ask her about this, she didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
After Wei Xi’s incident, it was said that Wang’s daughter cried bitterly at home, saying that she was cheated on and heartbroken, and she would never marry again. But when Wang’s family came to their house to propose a breakup, their eldest son was very resistant and went to the girl’s house several times to explain, but she refused to see him.
Shu Wanrong couldn’t help but sigh when she thought of her eldest son’s distraught look when he returned from Wang’s house for the last time before he ran away from home. After that day, he left a letter and quietly left with the wounds from his father’s beating. When he came back, he had become the tyrant who had now disturbed the whole family.
Shu Wanrong recalled carefully at this time and suddenly remembered that her eldest son seemed to have never mentioned the name of his fiancée after he came back, as if he had forgotten that this person existed.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind before it was interrupted by a pair of visiting guests.
