Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Old Couple’s Infighting

Gong Dajiang had no intention of comforting Zhang Lan; it would only make her even more arrogant.

After all, Zhao Gang was outside waiting to see how he handled Zhang Lan, so retreating was not an option.

To make Zhang Lan aware of his displeasure and hopefully stop her from causing trouble, Gong Dajiang deliberately distanced himself from her.

Gong Dajiang’s idea wasn’t bad, but in Zhang Lan’s eyes, it left a sour taste.

How dare he despise her like this? "Now you’re disgusted with me? What did you promise me back then?"

"When you were fooling around with your student, had you forgotten?"

"If it hadn’t been for your misdeeds, would I have had a premature birth?"

"If I hadn’t supported you afterward and decided not to divorce you, do you think you could become a leader?"

"Don’t forget that if I hadn’t vouched for you in front of your old boss, you wouldn’t even know where you’d be now."

"Do you think I don’t know? You’re always going out to mess around with her."

Remembering the scene she witnessed a few days ago, Zhang Lan couldn’t control herself.

Even at such an age, such a thing could happen. Initially, Zhang Lan didn’t want to say anything, but with Gong Dajiang so heartless, why should she help cover it up?

Everyone was dumbfounded. From the moment they heard those few crisp slaps, Gong Tao and the others knew Zhang Lan wouldn’t let it go easily and would definitely seek revenge.

But no one expected her to reveal such explosive news.

Could it be that their grandfather, who was so unappealing, actually caught someone’s eye? Knowing he had a wife and still getting involved—that’s supposed to be true love?

Fooling around together? What does that mean? Rui Wen pretended not to understand, but from his grandmother’s angry demeanor, he knew it wasn’t something good.

Zhan Jing, startled by the explosive revelation, said, "No way, your father-in-law is so ugly."

Zhan Jing truly couldn’t understand how this happened, but it appeared Cai Meina didn’t know either.

Cai Meina genuinely had no clue about this. She had once heard someone mention that Gong Dajiang was quite reckless when he was young.

Could it be that they were talking about such past events? Cai Meina was also confused.

Zhao Gang outside in the courtyard kept sighing, "I wouldn’t have guessed your dad."

"No wonder your mom is so fierce." With such a handle in his wife’s hands, life must be hard.

"Did you know?" Zhao Gang gave a nudge to the stunned Gong Tao.

Gong Tao couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Do you think I would know?"

Give him a break—this was the first time he’d heard about it. But when he was young, whenever his grandparents talked about Gong Dajiang, they always looked displeased. Could this be the reason for their unhappiness?

Indeed, such an ugly matter wouldn’t be told to a child, but that’s not the point. The point is, "Do you think your mom will be furious when she snaps out of it?"

"Absolutely." His mother was someone who really valued her face, and it seemed that Gong Dajiang might be reconnecting with that woman again. This wasn’t just any ordinary explosive news.

But they sure were great actors; whether at their old home or here, there wasn’t a trace of evidence. It can only be said they were too skilled at acting.

Gong Ruini was scheming about how to make Gong Dajiang and Zhang Lan completely fall apart. Wasn’t it said that Gong Dajiang had reconciled with his old flame? Then let him continue with it.

If there was a risk of changing grandmas, she didn’t believe Zhang Lan could stay calm. She’d probably keep a close eye on Gong Dajiang, worried about a divorce.

Now, Gong Dajiang didn’t care about his reputation. If really pushed, what if he insisted on a divorce?

Hearing Zhang Lan exposing these matters drove Gong Dajiang mad, but as she continued speaking, he calmed down instead.

He just watched Zhang Lan cry and cause a fuss. If she hadn’t aired all this out, he might have felt guilty, but now, he truly didn’t.

Especially with frequent mentions of the in-laws, Gong Dajiang felt bothered.

Yes, without his in-laws, he wouldn’t be where he is today. But over the years, hasn’t he treated Zhang Lan well enough?

Which wife lives as comfortably as she does? Now, the better he treated her, the worse the payback, leaving him utterly embarrassed, "Unreasonable."

Unreasonable, she actually called him unreasonable. Zhang Lan instantly reacted like a lit firecracker, "You..."

Zhang Lan not only yelled but also fought back, scratching and hitting Gong Dajiang, making him quite furious, "I’m going back, I’m going back. Why stay here?"

Staying here had no benefits, forced to carefully chit-chat with the old man from the Northeast, speaking things he barely understood. If it weren’t for considering his eldest son, Gong Dajiang wouldn’t have bothered long ago.

What, go back? Zhang Lan was stunned, "You actually want to go back. I knew you wanted to see her."

As soon as Zhang Lan thought of that pretty face and her man smiling at her, she felt incredibly sour, "A woman like her should be paraded around the streets."

No way, when we get back, I’ll definitely report her, making her clean the streets and public toilets. Anyway, those dirtiest and most tiring jobs should be hers.

Let’s see how she seduces people then, and how she’ll manage to even smile.

Cleaning streets—let her clean the streets. Previously holding back slightly, Gong Dajiang was now furious and rushed over to give Zhang Lan a few kicks.

Zhang Lan fought back because she knew Gong Dajiang wouldn’t dare hit back. It was something he promised his parents, never expecting him to kick, and with such force.

When Zhang Lan realized it, she cried, cried so heartbreakingly, "You damn man! I bore you children and suffered so much for you..."

So they turned on each other? Gong Ruini was stunned. What was happening? Weren’t they supposed to be on the same side, seriously dealing with their family, thinking of ways to take a good bite out of them? How did the situation change like this?

Aside from the shock, Gong Ruwen was also worried, "Niece, do you think something will go wrong? What if she falls ill and can’t leave?"

Gong Ruwen couldn’t care less about what happened to Zhang Lan. He was worried about what to do if she fell seriously ill and couldn’t leave, meaning she’d stay at his house for a long time.

Thinking about all the food at home being eaten up by Zhang Lan made Gong Ruwen quite reluctant, his little face scrunched up.

Gong Ruwen remembered Gong Ruini mentioning that come spring, they’d have plans to make money. If Grandma didn’t leave, they wouldn’t be able to do it.

Exactly, can’t let anything happen to Zhang Lan. Previously, Gong Ruini was rather pleased seeing Zhang Lan being bullied by Gong Dajiang, but now she was worried.

Gong Ruini thought it over; having Gong Tao take charge was the best. He was the pillar of the family, though unsure if Zhang Lan would resent them.

After all, the secrets Gong Dajiang tried to keep were so publicly aired by Zhang Lan, and she’s been thoroughly bullied by him. To both of them, it was a matter with no face left.
