Courtyard House: I'm surrounded by celestial beauties on either side.

Chapter 80 Going to Report the Case Fang Chengxuan dusted off his sleeves

"Go report it to the police." Fang Chengxuan dusted off non-existent dust from his cuffs.

Inside the police station's interrogation room, the man who had finished giving his statement calmly pushed open the door and left.

Zhao Yi, leading the Rong family grandfather and grandson, hurried forward. Rong Yushu gripped the hem of his clothes tightly: "Is everything cleaned up?"

"Poisonous mushrooms cause hallucinations and kill each other." Fang Chengxuan looked at the lanterns swaying at the entrance of the alley. "I'll be back in Beijing in three days. It'll be time to meet that imposter."

In the courtyard, Rong Xinrui was fluffing up the quilts that had been aired out.

Seeing her husband return, she tiptoed and massaged his temples: "I heard there was a red rain in Tongjia Province?"

"Hmm, a few hands got dirty." Fang Chengxuan closed his eyes and leaned on her shoulder, the fragrance of gardenia hair oil lingering around his nose.

Rong Xinrui suddenly bit his earlobe and chuckled, "It just so happens that I recently planted a soapberry tree in my yard."

As dusk settled, a hysterical scream erupted from the main house.

The imposter, Rong Yushu, was bound like a dumpling with hemp rope. Pointing at the real Rong Yushu with her scarlet fingernails, she hissed, "He Xueyi, are you blind?! This son-in-law must be after the family fortune—"

"Save your energy." Fang Chengxuan pinched a piece of jujube paste cake and fed it to his wife without looking up. "You should think about how to explain why the second-in-command of the human trafficking gang has the birthmark of the Rong family's aunt."

Aren't you worried about being schemed against by them?

The fake Rong Yushu looked at He Xueyi, and the real Rong Yushu also cast a glance at him, calmly saying, "Right now, we each have our own version of events, making it difficult to verify my identity."

He Xueyi gazed intently at Zhen Rongyushu, his eyes resolute: "No verification is needed. When you stand together, I recognize the real you."

His expression was somber.

He Xinyi remained silent, while He Wenyi, standing to the side, looked puzzled, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two.

"What are your plans regarding her?"

Fang Chengxuan scanned the He family members and Rong Yushu, his gaze lingering on that similar face for a moment before he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Rong Yushu immediately understood Fang Chengxuan's intention: "I plan to transfer her to the law enforcement office."

"Okay, you can decide for yourselves."

Fang Chengxuan spoke in a flat tone.

After the fake Rong Yushu was escorted to the law enforcement office, Fang Chengxuan coldly watched her make a scene and seek help everywhere, a mocking smile appearing on his lips.

Rong Yushu looked at the fake Rong Yushu, her eyes also filled with pity.

"Fang Chengxuan, don't be too happy yet! Once I find witnesses to prove my identity, it will be your end!"

The fake Rong Yushu made a vicious threat.

Fang Chengxuan chuckled, glanced at the law enforcement officers who were collecting evidence, and said in a low voice, "Unfortunately, the person you're looking for is already dead."

"Not only that, their human trafficking crimes have been exposed, and Tong Chia province is struggling with a dead end in their leads, yet you've delivered yourself right to their doorstep!"

The fake Rong Yushu's pupils suddenly contracted, and her breathing became rapid.

"What's more, Rong Yue is dead, Tian Wenhao is dead, and now you're the only one left."

Congratulations on walking into a trap!

Fang Chengxuan's cold gaze was as sharp as a knife.

Fake Rong Yushu couldn't help but shiver.

"Xueyi, for the sake of our years of sharing a bed, can you really bear to watch someone die without helping?"

The fake Rong Yushu turned to He Xueyi and pleaded.

He Xueyi's eyes were piercing: "I have never had any real feelings for you."

All these years of tolerance and forbearance were nothing more than using you as a substitute for Yu Shu.

"Xinyi, Wenyi, I've raised you for so many years, how could you be so heartless?"

The fake Rong Yushu was completely panicked.

Her mother was her last support, but now that her support has collapsed, she is completely lost and helpless.

"Pooh!"

"You imposter, how dare you bring up old ties? You impersonated our mother, causing her five years of torment, and now you dare to try and establish a connection with us?"

"If it weren't for you, our family would be living happily together."

You vile woman, you deserve to be shot!

He Wenyi was furious.

He Xinyi's eyes were red and swollen. The thought that her whole family had treated this imposter as their closest relative, while her real mother was suffering outside, broke her heart.

Fake Rong Yushu collapsed to the ground, never expecting that five years of living and working together would result in betrayal and alienation from everyone.

"Rong Yulan, the Tongjia Province has confirmed your criminal activities with the human trafficking gang led by Rong Yue, and you are now being detained in accordance with the law!"

Law enforcement officers solemnly escorted her away.

This real vs. fake scandal has finally come to an end.

The Rong family members tactfully left, leaving Rong Yushu and the He family alone.

On the other side, after Fang Chengxuan escorted the Rong family home, he took Rong Xinrui to buy gifts and went to Guan Chi's home on Ningwu Road.

"Brother Fang."

The entire Fang family gathered here.

"I've come to see you all."

Qian San's revenge has been taken; it's time to turn the page on the past.

Fang Chengxuan spoke in a calm tone.

The pregnant woman nodded and glanced at Guan Chi beside her: "Guan Chi told me everything, thank you, Brother Fang."

"I couldn't attend your wedding before, so this is a belated wedding gift."

This is your dowry; keep it safe.

Fang Chengxuan handed over a heavy black cloth bag, which the woman accepted at Guan Chi's signal.

"Live a good life from now on."

Fang Chengxuan gave instructions.

Rong Xinrui pulled the woman aside to talk, while he looked at the crowd in the courtyard.

"Gaoyang, how's the situation in the countryside?"

Fang Chengxuan asked casually.

Gao Yang immediately replied, "I set up greenhouses in the vegetable garden as Brother Fang suggested, and the results are quite good."

I also met the village chief's daughter; they're probably getting married soon.

"Oh?"

Fang Chengxuan looked slightly surprised.

"In order to make things easier for people in the village, I often went to the village chief's house, and we became familiar with each other over time."

I gave some of the vegetables grown in the greenhouse to the village chief; he thought I was reliable and hardworking.

Gao Yang scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

"This is a good thing."

If you really get married, you'll have to treat your spouse well.

Fang Chengxuan gave his instructions.

Gao Yang nodded repeatedly: "Absolutely."

The joyous occasion eased the sorrow in everyone's hearts, and they began to tease Gao Yang.

At this moment, Lin Feng scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Brother Fang, I'm getting married too."

"Um?"

Fang Chengxuan's eyebrows twitched slightly as he thought of Ran Qiuye. "Could it be that he's going to marry Ran Qiuye?"

Lin Feng nodded with a silly grin: "It's Qiu Ye."

My future in-laws like me a lot. Brother Fang, could you go and propose marriage on my brother's behalf?

"How did the marriage proposal come about?"

Fang Chengxuan asked.

Lin Feng's face was full of happiness: "My father-in-law first asked me if I had feelings for Qiu Ye."

I say I admire cultured people, but I feel unworthy of them.

As it turned out, my father-in-law said that Qiuye also had feelings for me, and they didn't object.

He continued to explain, "My father-in-law said that Qiuye is their only daughter, and if I marry her, I will have to take care of my parents."

I was born without parents, so I felt this was the natural course of things.

As long as they don't mind that I'm uneducated.

A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Chengxuan's eyes: "The Ran family didn't require you to marry into their family?"

"No!"

Lin Feng answered without hesitation.

Fang Chengxuan nodded and said, "Okay, let's set a date at the state-run hotel for the two families to meet."

"Okay, Brother Fang, I'll go back and tell Qiu Ye right away." Lin Feng grinned, a huge weight finally lifted from his shoulders. He raised his glass and called out, "Come on, everyone, let's keep drinking!"

Fang Chengxuan smiled and looked at Leng Si, Li Shi, and Zhao Yi: "You three are not young anymore, hurry up and find someone you like."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled: "Marriage is a serious matter that can't be rushed. When the time is right, it will happen naturally."

As night deepened, Fang Chengxuan held Rong Xinrui's hand and slowly walked home.

On the way, Fang Chengxuan bumped into He Yuzhu with a capable-looking young woman in her early twenties. Just as he was about to walk around them, He Yuzhu said sarcastically, "Oh, isn't this Factory Director Fang? I heard you've become a live-in son-in-law? Enjoying being a kept man, huh?"

Rong Xinrui's eyebrows furrowed as she was about to lash out, but Fang Chengxuan squeezed her hand and said calmly, "It does smell good."

What, are you jealous? Too bad you can't even get your hands on some.

"Pah! Only incompetent men live off women!" He Yuzhu spat.

"Yes, I, who have no ability, became the deputy factory director, while you, who have ability, were fired." Fang Chengxuan chuckled. "If being like you is what it means to be capable, then I'd rather remain incompetent."

Rong Xinrui suddenly interjected, "He Yuzhu, is this your new girlfriend? What about Qin Huairu? She does your laundry and cooks for you every day, and doesn't even care about her own man anymore. You just dumped her like that?" She then gave the girl a meaningful look.

He Yuzhu, his face flushed red, retorted, "What business is it of hers if I get married?"

Rong Xinrui raised an eyebrow: "Oh~ so you want to enjoy the blessings of having two women!"

Once they were a distance away, Rong Xinrui said angrily, "A man like that doesn't deserve a wife!"

On the other side, He Yuzhu was berating Fang Chengxuan to Yu Haitang: "That's the most insidious pretty boy in our compound! He's turned the whole compound into a mess!" He was completely unaware of the strange look in Yu Haitang's eyes.

The next day, Fang Chengxuan was working on documents in his office when the security guard rushed in, panicked: "Director Fang, Sha Zhu is acting strangely at the factory gate, saying you stole his wife and demanding an explanation!"

Fang Chengxuan didn't even look up: "Get them out of here. If they don't leave, call the police."

Not long after, Xu Pei rushed in: "It's bad, Director Fang! He Yuzhu has brought a big leader! Director Li warned you to be careful. It's the big leader you cook for every week. Director Yang is with him too."

In the conference room, the senior leader, his face grim, said, "Fang Chengxuan, I always thought you were a good comrade!"

Fang Chengxuan remained composed: "So, the big leader is here today to strip me of my 'good comrade' label? Just because I haven't cooked for you lately?" He glanced at He Yuzhu's smug face and sneered: "What word did your new chef whisper in your ear to make you come all this way to put this label on me? Don't you know how heavy this label is?"

Looking at He Yuzhu's smug face, Fang Chengxuan shook his head inwardly: "After all this time, this fool still managed to latch onto the big boss's coattails." He tapped his fingers lightly on his knee, pondering a countermeasure.

Factory Director Li stood to the side, his gaze shifting between Fang Chengxuan and Yang Jianguo, and interjected at the opportune moment, "Sir, what exactly happened? We're all confused. What on earth did Fang Chengxuan do?"

The high-ranking leader took a deep breath, staring at Fang Chengxuan, whose expression was calm yet sharp: "Fang Chengxuan, He Yuzhu accuses you of breaking up his marriage twice. How do you explain this? How could an upright person do such a thing? I heard you even had someone break He Yuzhu's hand?"

Fang Chengxuan glanced at He Yuzhu and asked unhurriedly, "Leader, breaking up someone else's marriage is a serious matter of conduct. How can you say such things so casually? But since you've brought it up, why don't you explain in detail how I broke up someone else's marriage?" A faint sneer played on his lips.

The senior leader pondered for a moment: "He Yuzhu, you speak."

"Fang Chengxuan, wasn't it you who interfered in my affair with Lou Xiao'e?" He Yuzhu asked angrily.

Fang Chengxuan sneered, "You and Lou Xiao'e broke up purely because you're stupid!" He looked at He Yuzhu with contempt, "Because you're stupid, you couldn't see that Xu Damao was up to no good behind your back; because you're stupid, you don't even understand the most basic etiquette. The woman can do without a dowry, but you didn't even show the slightest bit of affection; because you're stupid, you let Xu Damao drive the Lou family to a dead end, and Lou Xiao'e had no choice but to leave you."

He Yuzhu's face turned ashen.

"I thought you would have reflected on your actions after so long, but I didn't expect you to still be so unprogressive."

If you could protect Lou Xiao'e and keep Xu Damao in check, would she leave? Marrying a man isn't just about having enough to eat and wear; it's also about having someone to rely on.

You can't even take care of yourself, how can Lou Xiao'e rely on you?

Fang Chengxuan became more and more agitated as he spoke: "Do you know what Lou Xiao'e went through when you made a stupid mistake? Now you're blaming me? It's ridiculous. You don't even know your real opponent and you just blame others indiscriminately."

No wonder you can't find a wife!

These words left everyone present dumbfounded; some were shocked, while others chuckled to themselves.

"What about Ran Qiuye?" He Yuzhu pressed, unwilling to give up. "If you hadn't let Lin Feng get close to her, Third Uncle would have introduced her to me long ago, and she wouldn't dislike me!"

Fang Chengxuan scoffed, "Others dislike you because you're annoying! As for Lin Feng and Ran Qiuye, I swear this has nothing to do with me."

Besides, why would Teacher Ran be interested in you? You're both naive and clueless.

He Yuzhu gritted his teeth in anger: "Even if Lou Xiao'e is there because of Xu Damao, and Ran Qiuye looks down on me, what about Yu Haitang? She ignored me after seeing you. You dare say you weren't behind it?"

Fang Chengxuan was almost amused by his stupidity: "He Yuzhu, you're always flirting with a widow, what normal girl would marry you? Go ask around, which father would want to marry his daughter to a man who's always involved with other women? Blaming others for not being able to find a wife himself, it's ridiculous!"

The meeting room was completely silent.

Factory Director Li couldn't help but shake his head: "No wonder everyone calls him 'Silly Pillar,' he really is a fool."

The top leader's expression grew increasingly grim.

Yang Jianguo stood aside, remaining silent throughout.

"Sir," Fang Chengxuan turned to the top leader, "if you had a daughter, would you be willing to marry her off to a man who has entanglements with other women?"

The high-ranking leader, his face grim, asked He Yuzhu, "Are you really having an affair with another woman?"

"Leader, don't listen to Fang Chengxuan's nonsense. Qin Huairu and I are completely innocent; we're just neighbors helping each other out," He Yuzhu hurriedly defended himself.
