Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 122 A Feint

"Eating offspring without heirs? Does that good-for-nothing Zhou Xia even deserve it?"

Faced with Wang Chengpeng's calculations, Song Wenxin gave her evaluation with a cold expression.

Wang Chengpeng simply smiled and stated his calculations, which were also established facts:

"It seems that Comrade Song is very confident in himself, confident that he can withstand Zhou Xia's sugar-coated bullets."

"Even if the other party plots to kill your entire family and then forces you to leave with nothing, can you handle it easily?"

"Or are you still thinking of taking back the IOU, getting Zhou Xia to settle down, and pretending this never happened?"

The fact that Song Wenxin could fall for Zhou Xia and let him lose everything makes it no doubt that she's hopelessly infatuated with love.

At this moment, her thought was not to make Zhou Xia, this cheating man who lived off her, leave with nothing, but rather to think about how to save this marriage that was destined to fail.

Faced with Wang Chengpeng's repeated mockery, Song Wenxin also became angry and said:

"If you came here today just to provoke me, then you've succeeded. I just don't know if you have the ability to face my wrath."

Wang Chengpeng stood up abruptly, seemingly having no intention of continuing to talk to Song Wenxin, and turned to leave.

After things became clear, the relationship between the two underwent a perfect transformation.

It's not Wang Chengpeng asking Song Wenxin for something now, but Song Wenxin asking Wang Chengpeng for something. It's just that the other party doesn't seem to understand their respective positions.

Sure enough, the moment Wang Chengpeng got up to leave, Song Wenxin panicked and stood up, shouting:
"Wait a minute, let's talk some more."

She may be love-struck, but she's not stupid.

Knowing full well that it was like a moth drawn to a flame, unless she was truly beyond redemption, she would never have let Wang Chengpeng leave so easily.

Moreover, this matter involves her family, so she needs to be even more careful.

Wang Chengpeng sat back down and said with a smile:
"My time is limited, so please hurry up, Comrade Song. After all, it's not easy for us country folk to come to the city."

Ignoring Wang Chengpeng's sarcastic remarks, Song Wenxin retorted, "What do you want?"

Wang Chengpeng shook his head slightly and said, "I should be the one asking you what you want."

"If you intend to leave Zhou Xia with nothing, then I can help you."

"If you're planning to rekindle your relationship with Zhou Xia and persuade him to turn over a new leaf, then I don't think we have anything to talk about."

"If you or he gives me the money, I'll return the IOU to you, and that will settle the matter."

"I believe that for Comrade Song, who works at the supply and marketing cooperative, a mere thousand yuan or so should not be a big problem."

Faced with such an obvious choice, Song Wenxin, true to her love-struck nature, hesitated and ultimately chose the latter, saying:
"My inability to have children is my problem, so it's no wonder that Brother Xia feels the same way."

"Now that you've told me about this, I absolutely cannot let the matter of eating up the family's wealth happen."

“Give me back the IOU, and I’ll give you 1,500 yuan. Consider the extra money as payment for tipping you off.”

Wang Chengpeng: ...? ? ?
He didn't want to see Zhou Xia, one of the culprits, continue to live a life of luxury, so it seemed he had to teach Song Wenxin a lesson about being love-struck.

However, the mindset of this era is like that, and it cannot be easily changed.

Thinking about this, Wang Chengpeng decided to solve the problem at its root, saying:

"What if I could solve your unspeakable problem?" This wasn't just Wang Chengpeng making baseless accusations; having read some medical books, he did possess some medical skills.

Especially some obscure books contain all sorts of bizarre folk remedies.

Although these folk remedies may not always work, they are enough to allow Wang Chengpeng to gain a lot of proficiency, making it easy for him to resolve some embarrassing problems.

Looking at Wang Chengpeng with suspicion, Song Wenxin immediately burst into undisguised laughter and said:
"You? You must be joking with me. I've been to so many hospitals and nothing has worked."

With a noncommittal smile, Wang Chengpeng said, "It seems that apart from making some foolish mistakes in marriage, you are quite smart in other aspects."

Wang Chengpeng immediately realized something was wrong. How could such a smart woman really act so foolishly when it came to love?

Moreover, her initial mockery of Zhou Xia showed that she didn't value him that much.

This must be her disguise, to prevent herself from becoming attached to her disguise.

She's quite a shrewd woman; she can offset the favor she did by offering information to him for just 300 yuan.

It seems Zhou Xia is in luck; even if I hadn't gotten involved, his fate would have been extremely tragic.

Women can be extremely emotional at times, and frighteningly rational at others.

However, Wang Chengpeng still prefers to keep the initiative in his own hands.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Chengpeng laughed and decided to expose Song Wenxin, saying:

"Comrade Song, it seems you have more on your mind than I thought."

"Why not leave the IOU with me and squeeze him dry before you make your move? That would be more in our best interest."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not expose this matter, after all, it won't do me any good."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, the reason I was able to find out about this is because I was also deeply affected by it. Liu Yanran was originally my fiancée."

"So I absolutely do not want to see Zhou Xia live a good life, and I want him to fall into an abyss of no return."

Wang Chengpeng's last words were not meant to gain sympathy, but simply to tell Song Wenxin that exposing this matter would not benefit him either, and that the two victims were naturally on the same side.

As expected, after a moment's thought, Song Wenxin's expression softened slightly.
She nodded slightly, indicating her approval of Wang Chengpeng's plan, and said:
“It’s easy to talk to smart people.”

"It's hard to imagine that two smart people like us could be so easily fooled."

"Okay, we'll do as you say."

"Please let me know as soon as you receive the money."

"I was worried that the IOU might cause problems if you had it, but it seems my worries were unnecessary. You're not stupid."

"It seems that bringing the photocopy was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather the result of careful consideration."

"Although it's a collaboration, I can't let you suffer a loss."

"Whatever receipts you need, as long as they're not too outrageous, I can get them for you."

"Come with me to the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll also let you get acquainted with the place so that we don't have to go through all this trouble every time we meet. It's really causing a lot of delays."

Once Song Wenxin considered Wang Chengpeng as one of her own, she became extremely generous.

In a sense, Wang Chengpeng indirectly saved her whole family.
