Chapter 138 Losing Face as a Man

The disgusting memories he was desperately trying to forget kept echoing in his mind, and the sensation on his lips felt real. Zheng Haiyang was successfully disgusted by Yu Junsheng.

He struggled to suppress the churning in his stomach, his face turning pale and then red as he tried to hold it in.

Damn it, Yu Junsheng is really like a woman, completely unreasonable!

Shrew! Shrew!

But thinking that he would still have to rely on Xu Dongliang's connections, Zheng Haiyang gritted his teeth and said, "How about this, Junsheng, you name a price, and we'll treat it as Comrade Xu buying your family heirloom. We won't report it to the police, okay?" As he spoke, he gave Xu Dongliang a wink.

Why Xu Dongliang and not Dong Siwei? Because Zheng Haiyang felt that with Dong Siwei's stupid mind, she might not understand his true meaning and might even mess things up.

As expected, Xu Dongliang's eyes lit up as he instantly understood Zheng Haiyang's meaning. He quickly covered Dong Siwei's mouth, who was about to say something, and chimed in, "Yeah, brother, my girlfriend and I broke this by accident. We admit it, but we really didn't steal anything. We're not thieves. There's no need to trouble the police, right? Just consider it a sale to us. How much? Name your price, brother."

Dong Siwei glared: "Ugh! Why should we give them money?! Why?!"

Xu Dongliang covered the stupid woman's mouth tightly and said to Yu Junsheng with a dry laugh, "Brother, look, this flowerpot is broken and useless, so just sell it to us!"

That's certainly true in theory.

Regardless of what kind of old object that 'water vat' was, it's now just a pile of broken porcelain shards. For Yu Junsheng and his wife, settling things with money is the best option. After all, if they report it to the police, without concrete evidence, the officers can't touch Xu Dongliang and Dong Siwei, and they might not even get the compensation they've already received. Given the current climate of destroying the Four Olds, who dares to talk about antiques? If they report it to the police, the most they'll get is the price of a normal water vat.

These two people kept talking about buying and selling, and they seemed to have ulterior motives.

Yu Junsheng naturally objected. He adopted a defiant and unreasonable manner, shrieking, "Buy what? Zheng Haiyang, are you deliberately trying to make me commit a crime? Huh? There are crackdowns on speculation and profiteering everywhere, and you still want me to sell things to others? Are you up to no good?! Are you trying to get me arrested?! Tell me!!"

Zheng Haiyang and Xu Dongliang: "..."

Believe it or not, these two scoundrels are actually planning to report this after it's resolved, so they might be able to get their money back.

Since the antique has already become a pile of worthless broken porcelain pieces, why should they have to spend money to buy it?

But to everyone's surprise, Yu Junsheng, that cunning fellow, didn't fall for it.

The two exchanged a glance. Zheng Haiyang forced a smile, trying to put on a friendly one, and was about to say something when...

Yu Junsheng acted decisively, recalling Chang Dafeng's appearance, he sat down on the ground, slapped his thigh, and cried out, "Heavens! You heartless thieves! You damaged my family's heirloom and made us pay compensation, yet you still dare to set a trap for us, trying to harm us! These black-hearted rotten bastards, why don't you all be struck dead by lightning!"

Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"

Xu Dongliang: "!!!"

Shrew! Shrew!

This is disgraceful! It's a disgrace to men!

Chang Dafeng, standing outside the crowd: "..."

Damn it, why does this little brat look so familiar?

Cheng Jiajia's eyelids twitched as well.

Men, there's no need for that, really, there's no need for that.

The other onlookers were also dumbfounded by Yu Junsheng's series of bizarre actions.

Goodness, this Yu kid has really learned something from Chang Dafeng.

Look, look! Her appearance, her posture, her wailing tone—she's just like Chang Dafeng.

Everyone: "..."

Speechless is not enough to describe their feelings at this moment, really.

Chang Dafeng finally realized why Yu Junsheng's mannerisms seemed familiar.

Chang Dafeng's face darkened.

Isn't this just copying me?!

That little rascal!

Chang Dafeng felt very uncomfortable.

To be honest, she's quite a character. She's very good at throwing tantrums and crying herself, and she wins every time, but she can't stand seeing others use it, especially a grown man like Yu Junsheng.

Chang Dafeng found Yu Junsheng's behavior extremely distasteful and said sarcastically, "Pah! He acts like an old woman, throwing tantrums at the drop of a hat. Is he even a man? He's a disgrace to all men!"

Yu Junsheng rolled his eyes. "Men kissing each other isn't shameful for a grown man, so what's wrong with me?"

Chang Dafeng's face immediately turned green.

The reason she hadn't said anything was because her son's affair with Xu Dongliang was embarrassing!

She's completely lost face!

Moreover, given the previous incident where Zheng Haiyang and Zheng Haicheng were stripped naked and thrown into the street after being sexually assaulted, the old lady already had some doubts about her son's sexual orientation. Today, her eldest son and Xu Dongliang's actions undoubtedly confirmed her suspicions.

At this moment, Chang Dafeng's gaze towards Zheng Haiyan revealed five parts disappointment, three parts disdain, and two parts contempt.

With a heavy heart, she exclaimed, "Haiyang, you...you...oh! What can I say about you!"

Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"

The men, young and old, of the compound who had just briefly forgotten about the incident: "!!!"

Everyone immediately glanced at Zheng Haiyang warily, and then took another step back.

Goodness, you'd better stay away from him, lest you get taken advantage of!

Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"

Ahhh, he didn't, he didn't!

Zheng Haiyang's handsome face flushed red. Why, why was he the one who got hurt again!

Why doesn't even his own mother believe him?

No one noticed that Xu Dongliang, on the other side, was looking at the embarrassed and angry Zheng Haiyang with a strange light in his eyes. He couldn't take his eyes off him and even stuck out his tongue to lick his lips, as if he was savoring something.

Besides Cheng Jiajia, who's a master at gossiping.

Cheng Jiajia: "!!!"

Oh my god! Oh my god!

Look, look, what did she see?!

This absolutely shocked my whole family!

Could it be that Xu Dongliang has really taken a liking to Zheng Haiyang?

Look at the way he looks at Zheng Haiyang, and that expression—he's absolutely not innocent!

To be honest, Cheng Jiajia was a little overwhelmed by this gossip.

She couldn't understand it. The two of them were fine before, and Xu Dongliang's orientation seemed quite normal. How did they suddenly become ambiguous?

Could it be related to that kiss just now?

What's this called? Is it called a kiss that seals the deal?

You straight guy, have you turned me gay?

Did you force a kiss on me?

In an instant, Cheng Jiajia's little face became wrinkled and even faintly green.

Zheng Haiyang had no idea that he had unintentionally caught someone's eye and into their heart.

Afraid that his mother would say something that would provoke this man and make him lose face as well, he quickly reassured him, "Junsheng, you're overthinking it. How could I do such a thing? We grew up together since we were little, we've known each other for so many years. If I did something so despicable, would I even be a human being?"

Yu Junsheng lifted his eyelids and said sarcastically, "Who knows?"

Zheng Haiyang: "..."

Zheng Haiyang's face darkened. Don't think he didn't realize that Yu Junsheng, that scoundrel, was implying that he wasn't human!

However, he was too lazy to continue arguing with him; it was better to resolve this matter sooner rather than later.

Suppressing his impatience, Zheng Haiyang softened his voice, "We misspoke, Junsheng, please don't mind. Comrade Xu and his men broke your things, so they should compensate you. How about this, Comrade Xu will pay you thirty yuan, and we'll consider this matter settled. Don't mention reporting it to the police, okay?"

Zheng Haiyang was very confident and didn't think the two people opposite him would disagree. Thirty yuan for a broken water tank was a huge profit! Knowing their greedy nature, they would definitely agree.

It's not very good!

It's a family heirloom, how could you possibly settle for just thirty yuan!

Yu Junsheng's eyes darted around.

"200 yuan! Otherwise, forget it!"

Zheng Haiyang was very confident and didn't think the two people opposite him wouldn't agree. Thirty yuan for a broken water tank was a huge profit in anyone's eyes! Given Yu Junsheng and his wife's greedy nature, they would definitely agree.

"What...what?!"

So when he heard what Yu Junsheng said, he was stunned and stared at Yu Junsheng in disbelief, "What did you say?! 200 yuan?!"

Dong Siwei screamed incredulously, "200 yuan? Are you robbing me?!" She was already heartbroken over losing a priceless antique, and now they wanted her to pay 200 yuan for this pile of useless porcelain shards?!

impossible!

She would rather die than pay that money!

What does it have to do with her if things break? It just shows that Yu Junsheng was never born to be rich!

Dong Siwei firmly stated that she would not pay the money.

Zheng Haiyang frowned, looking at Yu Junsheng disapprovingly, as if he were looking at someone who was being unreasonable.

"Junsheng, you must be joking. How could this flowerpot possibly be worth 200 yuan?"

When Yu Junsheng ignored him, Yu Junsheng became unreasonable, shouting, "I don't care! This is an old item passed down from my ancestors. If it weren't for your sake, I would have given them a discount. You think you can settle this with just thirty yuan? No way!"

Zheng Haiyang gave a forced smile, "Junsheng, we've lived together for so many years, how come I've never heard of your family having any heirlooms?"

It's said to be a family heirloom, but who knows if it's really genuine? After being fooled so many times by Jiang Qiubai, Zheng Haiyang scoffs at the idea of ​​finding bargains or antiques, especially since this 'flowerpot' looks worthless. It's definitely Yu Junsheng trying to scam him!

Yu Junsheng was utterly shameless. "I already said it's a family heirloom, how could I possibly let you know? If you knew, would my family still have a family heirloom?"

Cheng Jiajia also said sarcastically, "I just took this thing out and your god-sister and god-brother-in-law have their eyes on it. It's a good thing I didn't let you know before, otherwise I'm afraid it wouldn't have survived to this day."

Zheng Haiyang: "..."

Those damned Xu Dongliang and Dong Siwei have ruined his reputation again!

The two sides exchanged barbs and heated words.

Both sides have their own reasons.

The onlookers were so engrossed they could hardly keep their eyes open.

Is this really true?

Is that so?

In the end, it was Grandpa Zou who stepped in and gave Yu Junsheng a look that said, "Stop it now."

That little brat, how could he not know if his family has any heirlooms? But these two probably didn't have good intentions running to the Yu family's place in the middle of the night, so they deserve to be extorted!

Yu Junsheng chuckled.

In the end, both sides compromised and agreed to a fixed compensation of 100 yuan, thus settling the matter as a misunderstanding.

Yu Junsheng and Cheng Jiajia happily held the ten ten-yuan bills, and even Xu Dongliang and Dong Siwei, who were glaring at them fiercely, seemed kind and approachable.

What a kind person! They went out of their way to deliver money to them in the middle of the night. You'd be hard-pressed to find such a wonderful person in the world.

With the matter resolved, it was already late, so Zou Qianjin shooed Xu and Dong away like flies, telling everyone to hurry back and rest.

As he left, Xu Dongliang glanced at Zheng Haiyang with lingering affection. Cheng Jiajia frowned at his tender expression; it was just too much to bear and had caused irreversible damage to her digestive system.

Yu Junsheng noticed it too, and he suddenly shuddered, blurting out, "Why is that thing looking at Zheng Haiyang, that bastard, with such disgusting eyes?"

Cheng Jiajia gave him a meaningful look, "What do you think?"

Yu Junsheng suddenly thought of a possibility.

Yu Junsheng: "!!!"

Yu Junsheng got goosebumps all over his body, and his handsome face began to wrinkle. He felt that his digestive system had also suffered a little bit of damage.

"Damn it, this year is really strange! Why do I keep running into all sorts of weird things?"

After complaining, Yu Junsheng patted his chest in relief, "Luckily, this person doesn't live in our compound. We don't see him often, otherwise it would be so scary!"

Liking a man isn't scary; what's scary is treating him like a brother while he wants to sleep with you!

Cheng Jiajia smiled mysteriously, "Just wait and see, this isn't over yet. This person will be coming to our compound quite often in the future."

Yu Junsheng shuddered; he was genuinely frightened by his lack of experience.

This is even scarier than a female sex fiend!

If you accidentally bump into each other in a public restroom, should you use it or not?

If I go for it, it seems like I'll be taken advantage of by this thing again. If I don't go for it, what if I can't resist?

"...Wife, don't scare me!"

Yu Junsheng felt very uneasy after what Cheng Jiajia said.

But just as Cheng Jiajia said, in the following days, Xu Dongliang always found opportunities to come to their courtyard and get close to Zheng Haiyang.

On one occasion, Yu Junsheng even saw this person holding Zheng Haiyang's hand and patting it gently, comforting him with a tender expression, "Haiyang, don't worry, I've already taken care of everything. Don't worry, you'll be able to go back to work soon."

Yu Junsheng shuddered, feeling a chill run down his spine. He couldn't help but feel that Xu Dongliang was taking advantage of Zheng Haiyang.

Yu Junsheng reaffirmed his determination to stay far away from these monsters and demons, no matter what.

Thank goodness, thank goodness, he doesn't live in their compound, otherwise I would be so annoyed.

Zheng Haiyang noticed that Yu Junsheng had been acting strangely lately. Whenever he saw Zheng Haiyang, Yu Junsheng would run away as if he were some kind of monster.

Zheng Haiyang: "...What's wrong with me!"

...

Meanwhile, the investigation results regarding Old Man Zheng's death at the machinery factory were released.
