Chapter 276 Refusing a toast means having to drink a forfeit
Zhuang Qingxiang herself may not care about her own reputation, but she cannot let Lu Congyue lose face.
Faced with Lu Congyue's blatant threats, she could only endure it for the time being.
"Lu Congyue isn't home. If you're looking for him, come back tomorrow. Please leave now!"
Lu Guoqiang completely ignored what she said, put his hands behind his back, and swaggered into the house.
"Sister-in-law, don't be so heartless. It's the New Year, and I've come to wish you a Happy New Year in advance. You should be thanking me."
"Stop right there!" Zhuang Qingxiang immediately rushed to the doorway of the main room, blocking the way. "You're not welcome in my house!"
She still remembered how this man treated the child; it was very problematic, and she couldn't let him have a chance to get close to the child.
This time, Lu Guoqiang obediently stopped and brought his face close to Zhuang Qingxiang's: "Okay, we won't go in, so those kids won't get in the way."
He looked around and pointed to the room next door: "Nobody's in there, right? Shall we go inside and talk?"
"I have nothing to say to you," Zhuang Qingxiang said coldly.
Lu Guoqiang's face darkened, and he suddenly grabbed Zhuang Qingxiang's wrist, then dragged her into the room.
Just as Zhuang Qingxiang was about to scream, Lu Guoqiang threatened her in a sinister tone: "I advise you not to make a scene, otherwise everyone will know that you and I are having an affair, and everyone in the compound will know that you have cheated on Lu Congyue."
Lu Guoqiang understood these women too well. They all cared about their reputation and face. Even if he touched or slept with them, they wouldn't dare to say a word. Later, when he was in the mood, he would go to them again, threaten them a couple of times, and they would obediently follow him.
In his eyes, Zhuang Qingxiang was no different from those other women.
He bet that even if he slept with her today, she wouldn't dare tell Lu Congyue, much less let anyone else know.
She was just a rural widow, powerless and without any family members who could stand up for her.
If she dares to say it, will Lu Congyue still want her?
If Lu Congyue doesn't want her anymore, she won't even be able to eat.
The thought of sleeping with Lu Congyue's woman soon made Lu Guoqiang incredibly excited. He felt he was in much better shape than usual and could go through three rounds of intense sex.
"Come in with me right now! If you please me, I promise I won't mistreat you and I won't tell Lu Congyue."
When he opened his mouth, he almost spat out saliva, which disgusted Zhuang Qingxiang.
Her right wrist was gripped and she couldn't break free, but her legs were free.
Zhuang Qingxiang seized the opportunity to kick his leg, but unfortunately, due to the angle, she only kicked the back of his knee.
Lu Guoqiang didn't expect her to fight back. His knees buckled from the kick and he almost fell to his knees.
Lu Guoqiang snapped, "Zhuang Qingxiang, don't be so stubborn!"
At the same time, a clear voice rang out.
"Let go!"
Lu Guoqiang turned his head and saw a young woman coming out of the main room, angrily heading towards him.
Lu Guoqiang glanced at it indifferently, not paying any attention at all.
Knowing that Lu Congyue had left the provincial capital, he immediately rushed over to find Zhuang Qingxiang, hoping to take the opportunity to capture her.
I didn't expect there to be other people here.
She's just a woman, nothing to be afraid of.
She looks alright, so it's not impossible for her to try and sleep.
As he was thinking this, Dai Hongying rushed up to Lu Guoqiang and Zhuang Qingxiang.
She was trying to lull her child to a nap but almost fell asleep herself, until she heard something strange happening outside. She suddenly woke up, jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), and ran out.
Sure enough, something bad happened. Some filthy man grabbed Sister Zhuang's wrist and dragged her into the house...
It's obviously not a good thing!
Dai Hongying didn't stand on ceremony with this kind of person and immediately went for a close-range attack.
Lu Guoqiang grabbed Zhuang Qingxiang's wrist, and she directly grabbed his wrist.
In just two seconds, Lu Guoqiang was jolted awake from his fantasy by the pain, and he grimaced and yelled "It hurts!" as he released Zhuang Qingxiang.
"You bitch, how dare you ruin my plans?! I'll never forgive you!"
Lu Guoqiang swung his fist at Dai Hongying.
Although he was uneducated and incompetent, he was still Lu Sheng's son. When Lu Sheng had high hopes for him, he taught him a few tricks, enough to deal with a woman.
But to his surprise, the woman he thought he could knock down with one punch easily blocked his fist.
"Where did this scoundrel come from? I advise you to surrender right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Dai Hongying warned.
Lu Guoqiang would never listen to her.
He muttered profanities under his breath and attacked Dai Hongying fiercely once again.
This time, Dai Hongying didn't bother with a polite warning. She directly threw the person to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw, leaving both arms tucked behind her back like roast chickens.
Lu Guoqiang lay on the ground, writhing in a fit of impotent rage: "You slut, how dare you hit me? Do you know who I am? You just wait, I won't let you get away with this, you're dead!"
Dai Hongying had no interest in arguing with him; he was just a scoundrel, looking at how arrogant he was…
"Sister Zhuang, bring me a rope!"
After Dai Hongying finished speaking with Zhuang Qingxiang, she finally had time to criticize Lu Guoqiang.
"How come I don't know who you are? You're a scoundrel who dares to bully people in Director Lu's house! You're dead meat!"
At this moment, Zhuang Qingxiang took out a rope, and Dai Hongying quickly tied up Lu Guoqiang.
Once she was sure the man was securely tied up and couldn't escape, Dai Hongying pulled him up and turned to Zhuang Qingxiang, saying, "Sister Zhuang, I'm taking him to the police station. On New Year's Day, he broke into your home and assaulted you; he's asking for trouble. He needs to be sent to a farm for reform!"
"What? You dare? Zhuang Qingxiang, you better tell her to release me right now, or I won't let any of you off the hook, do you hear me?!" Lu Guoqiang shouted, his voice trembling with fear.
His family went through so much trouble to get him out of the farm, he will never go back!
Zhuang Qingxiang bit her lip, went into the kitchen, grabbed a tattered rag, and stuffed it directly into Lu Guoqiang's mouth to prevent him from smelling terrible as soon as he opened his mouth.
As for Dai Hongying taking the person to the police station, Zhuang Qingxiang agreed without any hesitation.
She even told Dai Hongying that she was willing to go to the police station to testify if needed.
However, to avoid causing trouble for Dai Hongying, she pulled the person aside and explained the situation in a low voice.
"This man is Director Lu's half-brother, but they never associate with each other; they're mutually disgusted. And as for him... you can probably tell, he's just an ignorant, good-for-nothing scoundrel, a complete scumbag!"
After saying that, seeing that Dai Hongying looked blank, she briefly introduced Lu Guoqiang's identity and background, and then said, "Hongying, that's the situation. So you should know that this matter may end up being nothing, but his family may... seek revenge on you."
Dai Hongying finally understood, but waved her hand dismissively.
"Is it really that simple? You've been talking about it for ages... I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid of thugs with knives and guns, why would I be afraid of this scoundrel? Sister Zhuang, don't worry about it, you go about your business, I'll take him to the police station and be right back!"
