Chapter 791 — Compensating Five Hundred Thousand
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
However, Xiao Fen didn't want Kang Jingming's money. Poor as she was, she had her pride. Wei Zhao was Tang Zhi's boyfriend; when he gave Tang Zhi money, Tang Zhi refused it. How much less would she accept money from Kang Jingming, who was merely an ex-boyfriend who had hurt her?
But Xiao Fen also knew that her family really did need this money, so for a moment she couldn't make up her mind. She decided to call Kang Xiaofeng and discuss it with him.
Early that morning, before going to school, Kang Xiaofeng had called Wei Zhao. Today Qibing Real Estate was coming to the shantytown again to discuss the demolition, and Kang Xiaofeng was somewhat worried about Xiao Fen—afraid her family would be taken advantage of. But his words carried little weight, and he knew that going himself wouldn't do much good, so he wanted Wei Zhao to accompany him.
Today Wei Zhao was driving Gu Mengyao's Audi 5. Since the young lady had told him to drive it, Wei Zhao had no reason to refuse.
When the car pulled up to the school gate, Wei Zhao honked twice. Kang Xiaofeng was momentarily stunned—he had never seen this car of Wei Zhao's before.
"Boss, your car..." Kang Xiaofeng stared in surprise at Wei Zhao's Audi 5.
"It's Gu Mengyao's." Wei Zhao smiled. "Get in. My car got blown up by Li Cihua. Good thing you mentioned it—I was going to go find him anyway. We'll stop by the shantytown and demand the money from him."
The verbal agreement Wei Zhao and Li Cihua had reached yesterday had in effect become void. The subsequent car explosion had already torn apart their relationship. Li Cihua didn't believe for a moment that Wei Zhao didn't know how the car had exploded, and with that, the relationship between the two sides had once again entered a tense state. Not only had the previous five million been given for nothing, but Wei Zhao was actually going to demand compensation for the car as well!
"Uh... blown up by Li Cihua?" Kang Xiaofeng was momentarily taken aback.
"It's a long story." Wei Zhao said. "We'll talk on the way."
"Boss, I've really put you out!" Kang Xiaofeng said, somewhat embarrassed. As his underling, not only had he failed to help his boss with anything, but he was constantly troubling Wei Zhao for help—and now even Xiao Fen's family affairs had to be foisted on Wei Zhao.
"It's no trouble at all. I told you, I was going to go find Li Cihua anyway." Wei Zhao didn't see anything improper about it. That was simply his nature—utterly sincere toward friends, asking nothing in return.
In the car, Wei Zhao told Kang Xiaofeng about going with Tang Zhi's family the day before to demand money from Li Cihua, and he also explained why the car had been blown up.
"My God!" When Kang Xiaofeng heard that the collapse of the Qibing Building had once again been Wei Zhao's doing, he was stunned. He really was a bit too formidable, this boss of his. The building had been put up twice, and both times he had brought it down...
Kang Xiaofeng was thoroughly convinced. Toppling someone's building and then making them pay for the car too—only Wei Zhao could pull off a dazzling feat like that.
Just as they were nearing the shantytown, Kang Xiaofeng's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Xiao Fen calling.
Kang Xiaofeng's heart tightened. Nothing had happened, had it? He hurriedly answered the call and said anxiously, "Hello, Xiao Fen? What's happened? The boss and I are on our way. Just wait for me, we'll be there soon!"
