Chapter 113: Deadbeat

Tang Haofei retracted his gaze from the familiar figure in the distance, his teeth clenched, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and malice.

He lowered his head and met the curious gaze of Jiang Xiaochao. He softened his expression, reached out and tugged at the boy’s cheek, feigning curiosity, “How did you know it was me?”

He was wrapped up so tightly, with a mask and hat on, and yet this kid recognized him! He had good eyesight, no wonder he was so good to him!

“Because you don’t look like a good person, I thought it was you so I called out,” Jiang Xiaochao said honestly, looking at him.

Tang Haofei pushed him away, “You little brat, can’t you speak properly? No wonder your dad beats you three times a day!”

“My dad beats me even if I don’t speak!” Jiang Xiaochao grumbled, feeling dejected.

“That’s your dad’s fault. Come here, I have something to ask you,” Tang Haofei said, grabbing him back, remembering something.

Jiang Han had mentioned that Hu Yao and that woman Qiu Yingwen were good friends. This kid was a little smart aleck, he must know a lot.

“What is it?” Jiang Xiaochao asked softly.

“You’re good friends with this woman’s daughter, right? Where’s her dad? Have any other men been around them? She…”

He bombarded him with a series of questions, his voice laced with bitterness. Jiang Xiaochao struggled to answer.

“Rongrong doesn’t play with me anymore, she likes Xiaoya more! She even gave Xiaoya all the candy and cookies, and said I have to give her the eggs if I want to be friends with her again, she wants to give them to Xiaoya.” Jiang Xiaochao frowned slightly.

What a mess! Tang Haofei frowned, pulling at his cheek, “I didn’t ask you about that. Did any wild men hang around Qiu Yingwen?”

“What wild men? Uncle Haofei, you’re using foul language! My mom said that’s badmouthing people, you can’t just say that! Aunt Qiu is good, she…” Jiang Xiaochao looked at him with frustration.

He babbled on and on, a jumble of words, but Tang Haofei patiently listened and eventually learned that there were no other men around Qiu Yingwen.

Ha, good for her! That wild man left her!

Good for her! She left him for another man and now she’s living like this, what a wonderful thing!

He was certain she wouldn’t have a good life!

Recalling how he wanted to marry her but she cheated on him and ran off with another man, Tang Haofei’s face darkened with resentment.

This woman just thought he was poor and thought she found someone better, so she left him without hesitation! She was just a vain woman! He could find a million more like her!

Ha, now she’s been dumped by that wild man and came here, he wanted to see if she would have a good life!

Tang Haofei’s face was dark and his expression cold, lost in thought, his arm around Jiang Xiaochao.

Jiang Xiaochao swung his little feet, finding him strange today. He didn’t want to play with him anymore, he called out to him to let him go, but he seemed to have not heard. He puffed up his cheeks and struggled, calling out several times.

“Chaochao?”

Qiu Yingwen saw that it was almost dinner time and went out to find Qiu Yarong who had gone to play.

As soon as she went out, she saw Jiang Xiaochao being carried by a strangely dressed man, struggling constantly.

She couldn’t help but think of human traffickers, she was startled and rushed forward, kicking the strange man down with a swift kick. Before he could react, she kicked him several more times and snatched Jiang Xiaochao from his grasp.

“Who are you! You’re kidnapping someone else’s child!” she yelled coldly.

Tang Haofei was kicked by her so hard that he choked on his own blood, his eyes blazing with anger.

This woman was crazy! She dared to hit him! Did she know who he was! Damn it!

He wouldn’t let her get away with this!

Tang Haofei cursed in his heart, but he also knew what he looked like now. He didn’t want her to know who he was, so he glared at her, his face dark and sullen, and left before she could take him to the police station.

Qiu Yingwen didn’t want to let him go, guessing that he was a human trafficker. Thinking about all the kids around here, she felt increasingly dangerous. What if one day they weren’t careful and it was Qiu Yarong who was kidnapped?

She frowned and chased after him.

“That’s Uncle Haofei, Auntie.” Jiang Xiaochao, who was in her arms, witnessed Tang Haofei being beaten, blinked his eyes and explained softly.

Qiu Yingwen was stunned, then her eyes became even more fierce. She put Jiang Xiaochao down, her eyes full of confusion, and quickly chased after Tang Haofei.

She caught him with lightning speed, beat him up even harder, her eyes fierce as if she wanted to kill him.

“You, dead, human, trafficker!” she cursed through gritted teeth.

Tang Haofei was furious, he hadn’t realized how vicious Qiu Yingwen was before. She kicked him before, and now she wanted to destroy his life! If he hadn’t blocked her in time, he would have been left childless for life!

She was simply evil! He was so lucky he didn’t marry her!

The punches and kicks landed on him with no mercy, the hand she kicked seemed to be broken! Tang Haofei was furious, this bitch!

“Next time I see you, I’ll beat you every time! Get lost!” Qiu Yingwen gave him one last kick, kicking him away a good distance.

Tang Haofei was furious, but he still held back his anger and left.

Jiang Xiaochao watched this scene, a little dazed, subconsciously covering his still-healing little finger.

“He’s Uncle Haofei!” He thought Qiu Yingwen hadn’t heard him clearly.

Qiu Yingwen glanced at the retreating figure, her eyes filled with coldness, then turned to Jiang Xiaochao, smiling softly, “Auntie knows.”

Ha, Tang Haofei! She knew his real name before she came here!

A notorious hooligan, a playboy! She was really blind and stupid to be fooled by him! If she had known he was such a bad and dissolute man, she would have woken up long ago!

You bitch! She didn’t go to find him to settle the score, yet he came to her door!

A little better!

He knew he had no face to see her either! In the future, he should cover up like this in front of her, otherwise, she would want to beat him to death as soon as she saw his face!

A person like him, dying ten times would be a good thing!

Looking at her strange smile, Jiang Xiaochao felt even more strange, blinked his wet eyes, said a few simple words to her, and ran back to the wine shop to find Hu Yao.

“I’m going back to eat with my mom!”

…

Tang Haofei returned to the Tang family with a black face, irritably pulling off his hat and mask. The anxiety in his heart came in waves, his face was extremely sinister.

From the moment he truly saw Qiu Yingwen, he knew he still resented her. Back then, when he knew she had run away with a wild man, he wished she was dead! Now it was the same!

A flirtatious, vain, and extremely vicious woman! He didn’t need to be polite to her at all!

Bitch!
