"What's wrong with you, old lady? You're trespassing! This is clearly my home!" Zhang Heping didn't want to fight the old lady, so he dodged back and forth.
"You're talking nonsense! Just because you say this is your home doesn't mean it is! I've lived here for so long and I've never seen you before. Humph, this is my niece's home. My niece is so filial that she invited our whole family to live here." The woman shouted loudly, startling everyone in the house.
"What's wrong, honey? Who bullied you?"
"Mom, who's bullying you? Call the police right away!"
"Auntie, someone is bullying your aunt!"
Zhang Heping stood at his doorstep, watching as more than a dozen people came out one after another, each glaring angrily at him.
Zhang Heping's face darkened, and his anger was about to explode, until he saw a familiar figure shrinking behind the group of people, trembling as he retreated.
"Song Qingqing, explain yourself! What's going on here?" Zhang Heping roared at Song Qingqing, pointing at the group of people in front of him, his anger blazing.
Seeing that she had been discovered, Song Qingqing could only walk out shakily. Seeing Zhang Heping's gritted teeth, she softened her voice and said, "These...these are all my relatives..."
"Your relatives? What right do your relatives have to live in my house?"
"Hey young man, that's not right. It was my fault for not recognizing you earlier, but since you're dating my daughter, why can't we stay here?" The old lady couldn't help but speak up for justice when she saw Zhang Heping looking like he was about to settle accounts.
"Song Qingqing, is that what you think too?"
Song Qingqing pursed her lips and bit her lip, looking aggrieved as she gazed at Zhang Heping, hesitant to speak.
“Heping, you’re my daughter’s boyfriend, right? This is the first time we’ve met. We’re all family, there’s no need to make a scene. Come on, let’s go inside and talk.” Seeing his daughter looking so aggrieved, Mr. Song quickly tried to smooth things over.
“Who’s family with you? Do you know what you are now? Trespassing!” Zhang Heping shouted, shaking off Song’s father’s arm.
"Heping, I... I know it was wrong of me to bring my family here without your permission. Could you please do me a favor..." Song Qingqing pleaded with Zhang Heping, her eyes filled with tears and her voice soft.
"Oh, so you took it upon yourself to do this? You really thought you'd found a rich guy? How embarrassing!" Song Qingqing's cousin sneered, ignoring everyone else, and turned to go back into the house.
Song Qingqing was extremely embarrassed. "Heping, my hometown is flooded, and no one can live there anymore. I really have no other choice. Please, have mercy on me and help me, okay?"
“That’s right, that’s right. Your house is so big, and you’re dating Sister Qingqing. What’s the big deal about us staying here for a while? Besides, isn’t yours Sister Qingqing’s?” Song Qingqing’s younger cousin shuddered as he thought about his family’s situation and mustered up his courage to speak.
Seeing that her "son-in-law" was so disrespectful, Song's mother was also a little annoyed. "That's right. We'll all be family from now on. If you don't show your true colors now, we won't allow you to marry my daughter. It's only because this girl likes you that she's been following you for so long without any status or recognition. We haven't even asked you for compensation for her lost youth yet."
"Song Qingqing, are we considered a couple? You haven't forgotten how you moved in, have you?" Zhang Heping asked Song Qingqing, glaring at her fiercely, seeing this group of shameless people trying to morally blackmail him.
Upon hearing Zhang Heping's words, Song Qingqing blushed deeply and was too embarrassed to lift her head. In that instant, she felt as if she had been stripped naked and thrown into the sunlight.
When Song's father saw that Zhang Heping denied it, he swung his fist at Zhang Heping, shouting, "You bastard, you've slept with my daughter for so long and you're not going to admit it? You scum, I'll beat you to death!"
As soon as Song's father made a move, the men at the door also joined in. Zhang Heping didn't react at first and took a punch from Song's father, but he was eventually outnumbered and ended up with bruises on his face and body.
Seeing this, Song Qingqing panicked. She was already in the wrong, and now she was even more in the wrong. Song Qingqing quickly pulled her father away, "Don't hit him, don't hit him, let's talk this out!"
After finally managing to pull everyone apart, Song Qingqing saw Zhang Heping's gritted teeth and knew that today's matter was unlikely to end well.
Zhang Heping got up from the ground, glared at everyone with hatred, and remained silent.
Song Qingqing and her parents were all startled by Zhang Heping's cold gaze and involuntarily took a step back.
Zhang Heping ignored them, took out his phone, and called the police.
"Hello, I need to call the police!"
I am a resident of apartment 1601, Building 6, Block B, Qingyu Community. While I was away from home, about ten strangers I did not know moved into my apartment.
Yes, they're in my house right now, and they just beat me up. I'm injured...
After Zhang Heping and the other party told them that they would dispatch the police immediately, he called his uncle and said, "Uncle, could you please bring my aunt to my house? Yes, please tell my aunt that if she doesn't come, I will have the police look for her."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guodong knew something was wrong and hurriedly pulled Lin Lihua towards Qingyu Residential Area.
"You only need to go once, why did you have to ask me to come along?"
"He Ping said that if you don't go, the police will come after you. Tell me, what exactly did you do?"
"I didn't do anything!" Li Lihua was also full of questions.
The Song family didn't expect Zhang Heping to call the police. They regretted it the moment the call connected, but they didn't dare to smash Zhang Heping's phone. They could only bite the bullet and try to negotiate with Zhang Heping.
"What are you doing? What's the big deal that you have to call the police? Let's talk this out," Song's father said gently, trying to reason with Zhang Heping.
"That's right, we're all family, why make such a scene?"
"So what if you call the police? Who told you to bully my sister?" Song Qingqing's cousin said, his voice trembling with fear.
Zhang Heping simply stared coldly at the crowd until the police arrived twenty minutes later.
Zhang Heping raised an eyebrow. "Oh, these are all old acquaintances!" That's right, Ji Kangyong had brought over several colleagues who were familiar with Zhang Heping.
When the police arrived, Zhang Heping led them into the house, explained the situation in the living room, and the Song family also followed them in.
Zhang Heping then saw his own home, which was utterly wrecked!
The living room was crammed full of all sorts of belongings, looking quite messy. The dining table and coffee table were piled high with imported, extremely expensive snacks stored in the storage room. On the sofa, you could see patches of grease if you looked closely. And on the curtains, you could faintly see black handprints.
Zhang Heping took a deep breath and stepped into the bedroom.
Apart from Song Qingqing's bedroom, which remained unchanged, her own bedroom, as well as the others, were in a terrible state. The brand-new bedding she had kept under the bed and in the closet had been shaken out, covered in oil stains and lipstick marks.
Zhang Heping opened the closet and found his clothes in disarray, making it hard to say whether they had been worn by others.
