Chapter 792 — Agree to Him First
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"All right!" Hearing Xiaofen's words, Kang Jingming immediately felt there was hope for the matter, and nodded overjoyed. "No rush. Once you've looked over the contract and are satisfied, just do as it says from then on, and we'll be even!"
"Oh..." Xiaofen nodded, went inside, and started reading a book herself, leaving Kang Jingming to sit on the sofa without paying him any attention.
But Kang Jingming didn't mind. What did it matter whether Xiaofen paid attention to him or not? As long as Xiaofen took the money and kept her mouth shut from then on, he could pursue Guan Xin without hindrance! Thinking that half his plan was about to be realized, Kang Jingming suddenly felt immensely happy. "Your home hasn't changed in all these years—still as run-down as ever, huh?"
"Oh..." Xiaofen frowned. She wanted to lose her temper, but felt it wasn't worth getting angry at someone like Kang Jingming, so she gave a casual response and went on reading.
Years ago, Kang Jingming had come to Xiaofen's home and even said he would buy a house for her family. Xiaofen had been touched beyond measure, and in her muddled state had given him her true love and her body. In the end, after Kang Jingming had had his fun, he found Xiaofen a bit clingy and, afraid she would stick to him, quickly cast her aside.
As Wei Zhao drove past the shantytown, he saw several large open-air tents and tin-roofed huts set up outside, with signs reading "Demolition Temporary Office" and the logo of Qibing Real Estate.
But Wei Zhao didn't stop. There was always time to go collect money from Li Cihua; the pressing matter now was to get to Xiaofen's house and deal with the trouble that was Kang Jingming.
To be honest, Wei Zhao didn't quite believe Kang Jingming could be so kind as to voluntarily compensate Xiaofen. With Kang Jingming's domineering, arrogant nature, how could he possibly lower his head for no reason? This reminded Wei Zhao of Li Cihua yesterday, who had for no reason compensated Tang Zhi's family with a sum of money. Uncalled-for attentiveness is either a trap or a theft, which was exactly why Wei Zhao hadn't let Xiaofen sign the agreement with Kang Jingming directly, but insisted on coming over to have a look first.
"Leader, why do you think Kang Jingming suddenly came to give Xiaofen money? Could he have gotten those kinds of ideas about Xiaofen again?" Kang Xiaofeng had also sensed something off, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed.
"Heh, that's unlikely. Kang Jingming going back to Xiaofen would be slapping his own face. I'd say he definitely has a scheme, but what he's plotting isn't clear yet," Wei Zhao said. "Let's go take a look first."
"Mm," Kang Xiaofeng nodded. With Wei Zhao backing him up now, he felt a deep sense of reassurance.
Just as the car was about to reach the bottom of Xiaofen's building, there was no way through. Several excavators and bulldozers were blocking the road ahead, sealing off the entire street.
Wei Zhao frowned and honked twice.
The drivers of the excavators and bulldozers were standing by the roadside chatting. Hearing the car horn, they were at first rather annoyed, but when they caught sight of Wei Zhao's red Audi 5 sports car, their faces changed at once into smiles. Anyone who could drive a car like that was sure to be rich and powerful, and laboring men like them could not afford to cross such people.
"Sir, you can't get through here. We're just waiting for the hour to come, and then we're going to tear down the building up ahead!" one of the bulldozer drivers, who seemed to be the foreman, explained to Wei Zhao.
