Old Liu and his family caused a ruckus in front of the Ling residence, but it was useless. No one paid them any heed.
Old Liu, no longer able to withhold his anger, brought Liu Zhuang to a nearby police station. Since they are unable to take care of Ling Tao’s immoral behavior, then they will sue Ling Tianya for assault!
The wounds on Liu Zhuang’s face will serve as evidence!
In the end, Old Liu brought Liu Zhuang to the police station and after explaining their reason for being there, they were told that if they were to sue, then the Ling family will sue as well.
Old Liu was confused. The one who was hurt was obviously Liu Zhuang. What would the Ling family sue for?
Then, the police brought out the Ling family’s surveillance camera video clips, which included the videos of Liu Fen going into Ling Tao’s bedroom with nothing but a bathrobe and then being kicked out by the angry Ling Tao as well as the clip from the Ling family’s courtyard, where Liu ZHuang, with a face full of vulgarity, blocked Ling Tianya’s path.
The police said, “In a situation such as yours, it is recommended that you resolve this privately or through a civil appeal. Or else, based off of the Ling family’s surveillance, things will not be in your favor. First, your daughter ran into the master’s bedroom in the middle of the night with a hidden agenda and then your nephew, in broad daylight, blocked a woman’s path with such a vulgar expression. Therefore, your nephew’s injury can very well be explained as an act of self-defense. Also, even though your nephew’s wound looks bad, they are all actually surface wounds. At the most, the Ling family can resolve this through money. The ones who will suffer will be you guys.”
Having heard the police’s words, Old Liu ran out of ideas. Even though he was dissatisfied, he didn’t have the courage to continue to sue.
The second they were near their home, Old Liu felt that their neighbors were shooting them weird looks, each of them snickering and pointing.
“What are you looking at?” Old Liu’s wife shouted at the people around them.
The people around them continued laughing. “Hey, didn’t you say that you were going into the city to enjoy the blessing from your daughter and that you were never coming back?”
“Exactly. Didn’t you say that your daughter is a socialite in the city? Why have you come back looking so dejected? Is she wearing the same clothes she left in?”
Following the comment was an onslaught of laughter.
Hearing the neighbor’s ridicule, Liu Fen grinded her teeth in fury and quickened her pace, with her head down and face composed.
In reality, the neighbors weren’t the ones to be blamed for their harsh words. It was because the Liu family were getting too arrogant and had offended all of their neighbors. So seeing that they had returned with the entire family, the neighbors came out to participate in the liveliness.
Old Liu glared at them. “What do you guys know? All you do is talk nonsense!”
The neighbor laughed. “Laosan has already told me all about your household’s trivial matters. Now, there is not a soul around here who doesn’t know.”
“Ling Laosan!” Old Liu rushed to Laosan’s house in blind anger.
He banged on the door incessantly. Ling Laosan took his sweet time opening it and when he saw that it was Old Liu, he quickly shut the door.
“Ling Laosan, open the door! Was it you who told everyone about my family situation? Yes or no?!” Old Liu hollered from outside.
“So what if it was me? It was all because of the outrageous things you guys did! My sister-in-law called to scream at me. She also said that if I were to have any connection to the Liu family in the future, she would cut off all ties with me!” Madame Ling was Ling Laosan’s sister-in-law and now, Ling Laosan also had a belly full of anger. “I am warning you, the man with the surname Liu, the things your family has too are too shameful and yet, you really thought that Liu Zhuang would marry Ling Tianya? What kind of unrealistic delusions are you having? I’m warning you, get out now! Don’t come only to get screamed at!”
