Qingshan turned around and continued to ask Tian Xiaofeng: "I heard that my grandmother beat your grandmother, and you asked for 200,000 yuan in compensation. I wonder how much it would cost if this matter was settled privately today?"

Tian Xiaofeng was proud in his heart: Humph, they say that the people should not fight against the officials. So what if she is hooking up with a rich man? Isn’t she afraid of my family’s power?

"It's not impossible to settle it privately... How about this, give me five million and this matter, including the beating my grandma got, will be written off!"

Five million? Well, that's the price of a villa. How dare Tian Xiaofeng ask for that!

"Five million, where does my family get so much money?"

Tian Xiaofeng looked Qingshan up and down with ill intent, and said in a frivolous tone, "Your family doesn't have it, but the one who guarantees you has it!"

"The one who covers me? Who is it?"

Tian Xiaofeng's face was full of disdain. "You slut, you're asking questions even though you already know the answer! Everyone in the neighborhood knows that you're being kept by the CEO of Tianan Real Estate—someone named Gao Fei or Gao Xiang. Nowadays, everyone in real estate is worth over 100 million. As long as you put in some effort in bed, hehehe, a mere five million is nothing, just a word from CEO Gao..."

Qingshan finally figured out who the male protagonist of the scandal was, it turned out to be Gao Xiang!

The gossipmongers had no grudge against the Chen family; they were driven by jealousy. Chen Qingshan was handsome and elegant, and everyone who met her praised her good looks. If Chen Jianguo or Zhang Meiling were wealthy or high-ranking officials, no one would dare to gossip about Qingshan even if she was fooling around. Unfortunately, Chen Jianguo and his wife were ordinary people, and Old Chen still worked from dawn to dusk every day to earn a salary, which made those jealous people feel unbalanced.

They couldn't believe that the Chen family, with their background, could afford a villa, so they made wild assumptions, and Chen Qingshan was the target because of his outstanding appearance. Gao Xiang was a sentimental man. Qingshan had saved his mother, and he had come to treat the Chen family as his own family. When Qingshan was not in Lianshi, he would come every few days to bring Chen Jianguo some tea or help with the housework. Over time, people in the community discovered the clues and spread rumors that Gao Xiang was supporting Qingshan, which was why the Chen family could live in the garden community.

Those jealous and hot-hearted people finally found a "reasonable" explanation for their suspicions. They felt that this was the truth behind the Chen family's rise to wealth. They were convinced that this statement was true and began to spread it with more exaggeration. Among them, the ones who jumped around the most were Tian Yao and his family.

"You said I was being kept by Mr. Gao Xiang, CEO of Tianan Real Estate. Do you have any evidence?"

Tian Xiaofeng spat out a mouthful of blood foam, his face scornful. "Evidence? That Gao guy comes to your house every week to give you gifts. He's rich and powerful, but he's not your relative. What's he after? Your father is just a worker, and your mother is a housewife. They're neither rich nor noble. Why is Mr. Gao so nice to you? Isn't it because you, a little slut, are so pretty and graceful?"

As he said that, Tian Xiaofeng took a step forward and stretched out his hand to touch Qingshan's chin, but Qingshan turned around and dodged.

Tian Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and came up with another plan: "That pretty boy just now was your lover, right? If Mr. Gao knew that you were having an affair with another man behind his back, do you think he would still let you continue to live in this villa?"

When Qingshan heard him call Luo Wenyuan his "mistress", he actually felt like laughing. He wondered what Wenyuan's expression would be if he heard it.

"So what do you mean?"

Tian Xiaofeng had threatened Qingshan for so long that he thought even an adult would be scared, let alone a teenage girl.

"Ah, it's not easy for you, little girl. You are filial and don't forget your parents even though you have money. I admire you very much. But you really went too far today. Look how you beat me--!"

Tian Xiaofeng had thought Qingshan would say something nice at this point, giving him the opportunity to make another request, but Qingshan just stood there, smiling at him. Tian Xiaofeng cursed Qingshan for his lack of tact.
