Chapter 370 — A Slap

The most astonishing thing of all was that the boyfriend Xiaofen had found seemed to be Kang **!

Hearing Zhu Xiaozhang's words, Xiaofen shook all over with rage. She clutched Kang **'s hand in a death grip, her eyes brimming with stubborn fury.

Xiaofen knew this Zhu Xiaozhang: one of Kang Zhaoming's hangers-on. Back when she and Kang Zhaoming were together, he had trailed after her calling her "Sister-in-law" at every turn, so sweetly it dripped; and now he was calling her a bitch.

"I don't know you. Who are you?" Hearing Zhu Xiaozhang's words, Xiaofen understood what Kang Zhaoming intended, and at last her heart died toward him completely.

If Kang Zhaoming had harbored even a trace of feeling for what they once shared, he would never have let Zhu Xiaozhang say such things; and once Zhu Xiaozhang had said them, Kang Zhaoming still wore a look of perfect righteousness — which proved that he had never loved her, not from first to last, that he had only toyed with her feelings... Xiaofen was heartbroken, yet she understood at last: he was not her lover. He was a devil.

The rumors she had heard before, Xiaofen now believed as well... They said Kang Zhaoming changed girlfriends as briskly as he changed clothes. Xiaofen had not believed it before, but looking at the face he wore at this moment, she had no choice but to believe.

"Yo? You bitch, do you think that just because you've latched onto someone above your station, you can deny what you did before?" Zhu Xiaozhang grinned over at Kang **: "Kid, did she fool you? Don't you know she's a second-hand bitch? Second Young Master Kang here played her to pieces, and when he was done with her he threw her out — and you picked up the leftovers and carried them home like treasure?"

"That's right, Kang **, this woman is my leftovers — how could you take her home? If my uncle found out, wouldn't that be a disgrace?" Kang Zhaoming came over wearing the air of a well-wisher and said to Kang **: "Don't let her innocent looks fool you into falling for her!"

"Kang Zhaoming, you're shameless!" Xiaofen was shaking with fury, pointing at Kang Zhaoming and gasping for breath. She had never imagined Kang Zhaoming could be so shameless — casting her off was one thing, but to slander her like this!

"Me, shameless? I don't think so." Kang Zhaoming shrugged. "Some people are cheap; they like to deliver themselves to be played with. Whose fault is that? I'm only reminding my little brother not to be taken in by some bitch."

"Enough!" Seeing that Xiaofen was about to cry, Kang ** suddenly roared: "Kang Zhaoming, you bastard — may you die a horrible death! How can you talk about Xiaofen like that? You were her first love, she loved you deeply, she gave you everything, and this is how you speak of her? Have you no conscience at all?"

"Yo? For the sake of a cheap woman, you won't even call me cousin anymore? You call me by my name outright?" Kang Zhaoming sneered. "Her first love? So what? She was stupid, and that's on her. I got bored of playing with her, so naturally I didn't want her anymore — was I supposed to keep her forever? My family may be rich, but the women I've dumped number eighty if not a hundred. If I brought them all home to keep, they'd eat me out of house and home!"

Hearing Kang Zhaoming's shameless words, Xiaofen finally could hold back no longer; tears burst from her eyes. He was truly too shameless — the last shred of hope in her heart was snuffed out. Even if he had calmly said, "I don't like you anymore, so let's break up," she could have accepted it.

But Kang Zhaoming said she was stupid! Said that giving him everything was stupid! Xiaofen wept — wept in grief.

"How can you talk like that? I saw long ago that you were no good — I should have forced the two of you apart back then!" Tang Yun was furious too, pointing at that heartless wretch Kang Zhaoming and unable to stop herself from cursing: "You're utterly despicable!"

"Oh? Who do we have here — isn't this Tang Yun? Haven't seen you in years, and you've gotten even prettier. What, is this your boyfriend? He's nothing much!" Kang Zhaoming glanced at Wei Zhao, a flicker of jealousy passing through his eyes. He had pursued Tang Yun without success back then, which was why he had turned to pursuing Xiaofen; he had never gotten over not having Tang Yun. "Driving a beat-up car like that — how tacky. Tang Yun, I never thought your taste would be so poor!"

"Exactly! Come with our Second Young Master Kang, and tomorrow he'll buy you a two-hundred-thousand-yuan car!" Zhu Xiaozhang jumped in, making promises to Tang Yun: "You'll have no future with this moron!"

Wei Zhao had not wanted to get involved in Kang **'s family affairs. Whatever happened, it was his family matter; letting him settle it himself was the best solution. Wei Zhao was merely a bystander — so long as Xiaofen didn't have a seizure, that was enough.

But what he had not expected was that Zhu Xiaozhang would divert the trouble his way and pick on him! To be called a "moron" — if Wei Zhao could still swallow that, he would not be Wei Zhao.

"Smack!"

A crisp slap swung out, sending Zhu Xiaozhang staggering across the ground!

With a howl, Zhu Xiaozhang spun three times on the ground before spitting out two bloodied teeth, his cheek swelling up in an instant like a big steamed bun.

"Security! Security! Grab them!" Zhu Xiaozhang was stunned by the blow; when he came to his senses, he immediately began shouting thickly and indistinctly — Wei Zhao had dared to hit him!

The security squad leader had been hiding off in the distance, watching the two groups of Kang family people face off. He had meant to enjoy the show, but he had not expected Zhu Xiaozhang to be slapped by Wei Zhao. That in itself was nothing — the problem was that after being slapped, Zhu Xiaozhang started yelling for security...

The security squad leader was immediately in a bind, regretting that he had not slipped away earlier. Now he was caught between a rock and a hard place: if he intervened, he would surely offend Wei Zhao — who knew what relationship this fellow had with Li Yixun? Offending him would bring no good end.

But Zhu Xiaozhang was calling them, and they could not simply ignore him. He had taken several hundred yuan in tips from Zhu Xiaozhang just now; to turn his back so quickly seemed a bit dishonorable.

Besides, Zhu Xiaozhang was staring fixedly at them; as security for the resort, they could hardly fail to show their faces.

Just as the security squad leader was caught in his dilemma, another squad of security guards came running over. The fat leader of that squad, hearing Zhu Xiaozhang's cries for help, hurried over: "Brother Xiaozhang, what happened?"

This fat security squad leader was named Zhong Dingwei, the squad leader in charge of security inside the banquet hall. He had earlier accepted a two-thousand-yuan red envelope from the Kang family, so he did his utmost in the Kang family's affairs.

When the hidden security squad leader saw Zhong Dingwei come running, he breathed a sigh of relief — and inwardly gloated. Zhong Dingwei had always been at odds with him; this time, as he went to fawn over Kang Zhaoming, he would get what was coming to him!
