Chapter 71: Chapter 71: The Incident

Lu Zazha jumped into the river?

What a joke!

He wasn’t jumping into the river, he was making trouble.

Tian Xiang definitely had to go and take a look.

She wanted to go, and Meng Cheng’an had to follow.

Jiang Qin took the two of them to the City People’s Bridge, where Lu Feng was pretending to jump, but had already been persuaded down.

So, he wasn’t trying to jump into the river, he was just pretending.

When Tian Xiang and they arrived, Lu Feng looked dispirited, as if he had been provoked, while Wu Jinzhu was wiping her tears and supporting her son, the mother and son looked quite pitiable.

Jiang Qin stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

Tian Xiang didn’t push forward but instead stayed close to the crowd, listening to their gossip.

Before long, Tian Xiang figured out the situation.

Widow Jiang was caught having an affair by Lu Feng.

At that time, the model opera at the square had just ended, and many people were heading home with stools, Lu Feng’s angry roar came from Widow Jiang’s courtyard, and soon a large crowd gathered around.

The exact details were unclear to everyone; all they knew was that Lu Feng cried and said Widow Jiang shouldn’t have done those things.

As for Widow Jiang, she seemed dazed, sitting there without explaining anything.

Quickly, Lu Feng rushed out and ran towards the river.

Someone in the crowd said he was going to kill himself, which panicked everyone, so they followed him.

With so many people following, naturally, death was impossible.

But Lu Feng was hurt, and the gossip about Widow Jiang’s betrayal spread far and wide.

After understanding the whole story, Tian Xiang was a bit stunned.

When Lu Feng used Widow Jiang to reshape his reputation, Tian Xiang knew the two would break up, either peacefully or through betrayal.

In the end, Lu Zazha chose the latter.

Yes, Tian Xiang didn’t believe at all that Widow Jiang was seeing another man in secret.

This matter was clearly a set-up by Lu Feng, for the sake of his reputation and future.

Although Tian Xiang didn’t know the details yet, it was clear that Lu Feng succeeded this time.

In this short time, people around were beginning to sympathize with him.

Saying he met the wrong person and his sincerity wasn’t reciprocated.

As for the scorned Widow Jiang...

Forget it, she brought it upon herself.

Back then, Tian Xiang had warned Widow Jiang, but she didn’t take it seriously and even said to live for the moment.

Ending up like this was her own doing.

Last time, Widow Jiang and Lu Feng escaped a crisis under the pretense of dating.

This time, Lu Feng became a pitiful figure pitied by all, while Widow Jiang couldn’t escape.

In the current situation, if Widow Jiang didn’t clear her name, she would be detained.

Though Tian Xiang didn’t want to get involved, knowing this result still made her feel stifled.

Tian Xiang turned her bike around and prepared to head back.

Meng Cheng’an followed by her side, "I’ll take you."

"Okay."

Meng Cheng’an: "Are you unhappy?"

Tian Xiang: "Not really, just watched a show, nothing to be unhappy about."

Meng Cheng’an: "I can sense that you’re unhappy."

Tian Xiang turned her head and smiled, "Kind of, but it’s no big deal."

Meng Cheng’an also smiled, carefully glancing at her now and then.

The two of them got onto the main road ahead.

Soon after, Tian Xiang suddenly stopped again.

Meng Cheng’an: "What’s wrong?"

Tian Xiang looked ahead, "My cousin."

Meng Cheng’an followed her gaze and saw at the intersection, a woman pushing a bicycle standing with two men, he didn’t know what they were discussing.

Meng Cheng’an squinted, frowned, and said, "Those two men are loafers from the resettlement area, should we call your cousin over?"

Meng Cheng’an didn’t know about the issues between Tian Xiang and Tian Chuying.

Tian Xiang shook her head, "Don’t worry about her."

Tian Chuying being here likely meant she was helping Lu Feng, right?

Tian Xiang realized that the two of them had been secretly discussing today’s matter earlier.

Framing Widow Jiang, Tian Chuying actually became an accomplice.

A female supporting character 6, a female supporting character 4, Tian Chuying probably didn’t realize that Widow Jiang might be a precedent for her.

Tian Xiang continued riding forward.

At this moment, Tian Chuying separated from the two hooligans, turned her bike around preparing to head back, and happened to come face to face with Tian Xiang.

Seeing Tian Xiang, Tian Chuying’s eyes dodged, instinctively wanting to escape, but soon she calmed down, glanced at Meng Cheng’an, and asked Tian Xiang, "Who is he?"

Tian Xiang gave her a sidelong glance and walked straight ahead.

Meng Cheng’an also gave Tian Chuying a sideways glance, without saying a word.

Their expressions and pride were identical, which irritated Tian Chuying, but who was this man? He looked quite good, even more appealing than Lu Feng.

But good looks can’t be eaten; finding a man, besides appearance, also depends on ability.

So, what if he’s good-looking, his ability surely can’t compare to Lu Feng.

Thinking about how she would soon work over at Red Fifth Street, Tian Chuying’s mood quickly brightened again.

...

Monday arrived.

The gossip about Lu Feng being cheated on by Widow Jiang quickly spread in the Mechanical Factory.

Widow Jiang had already been caught, while that so-called lover had escaped.

Lu Feng took leave and didn’t come to work.

Last time, Lu Feng’s confession article in the newspaper moved and was forgiven by some, but many remained skeptical. This time, with the affair, he became a victim, and those doubts naturally vanished.

After lunch, Tian Xiang thought for a while, then rode her bike to the police station in the resettlement area.

She wanted to see Widow Jiang.

Widow Jiang’s case hadn’t been settled yet, so generally, visits weren’t allowed, but Tian Xiang showed her work ID, claiming to represent the union to understand the incident between Widow Jiang and Lu Feng, and the police gave her ten minutes.

In fact, she didn’t need ten minutes; she just wanted to take a look, see if Widow Jiang’s label had changed.

Tian Xiang sat in the interrogation room for a while before Widow Jiang was brought out.

Tian Xiang looked at her forehead.

Well, she had become a complete cast-off, downgraded from a supporting character 6 to supporting character 99+.

Tian Xiang sighed in relief, not sure whether to be happy or sad for her.

Widow Jiang obviously didn’t expect to see Tian Xiang; she sat on the bench for quite a while without coming to her senses.

Tian Xiang saw her in a daze and didn’t say anything, she got up to leave.

Widow Jiang: "Wait! Tian Xiang, wait."

Tian Xiang stopped but did not turn back.

Widow Jiang pleadingly asked her, "You know I’m innocent, right?"

Tian Xiang remained silent.

Saying this now was pointless.

With so many people having seen a man escape from Widow Jiang’s house, unless he was caught, she couldn’t clear her suspicion.

Widow Jiang: "Can you send a telegram for me? My relatives and friends here aren’t willing to help, but you, could you help me? I’ll give you money, tickets, whatever you need. Please, I’m begging you..."
