"Liu Kai Xuan, you just wait for me! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
Liu Kai Xuan merely smiled indifferently at Li Deya's furious roar.
What a joke. He hadn't feared Li Deya when he was alive, why would he fear him now that he was dead?
Besides, was Li Deya truly wronged?
If he were truly wronged, how could he have been sentenced to death twice in court?
Li Deya's current frenzied shouting was merely a way to vent his anger and unwillingness.
If Liu Kai Xuan were to argue back, it would be like giving Li Deya a victory before his execution.
The most sensible approach was to watch Li Deya accept his fate in silence.
No matter how fiercely he roared now, it would all end with the sound of a gunshot.
"Hmm, you're here too?"
Suddenly, Liu Kai Xuan spotted a familiar face in the crowd: Li Ya.
Li Ya shook her head and smiled, "I'm off duty today, and I'm bored at home!"
"I wouldn't have guessed that girls like to watch this kind of thing!"
"Who told you I like watching this kind of thing!"
Li Ya's pretty face immediately turned awkward, "I'm not as gossipy as you are!"
"I came here today to see Li Deya!"
Li Ya's tone clearly intensified when she mentioned Li Deya's name.
Li Deya had caused Li Ya a lot of trouble.
Taking advantage of his position, Li Deya had harassed Li Ya multiple times.
He had even directly threatened Li Ya, and Li Ya, being very concerned about her reputation, had endured Li Deya's pressure alone, too embarrassed to tell Liu Kai Xuan.
This time, when the two sides completely fell out and fought fiercely, although Li Deya was severely punished, it also had a huge impact on Li Ya's reputation.
Li Guowei had repeatedly urged Li Ya to resign and leave the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, but Li Ya had no intention of resigning.
"Alright, the execution is about to begin!"
To avoid affecting Li Ya's emotions, Liu Kai Xuan immediately changed the subject, "I think it's about time."
With a "bang...", Li Deya fell to the ground!
At the sound of the gunshot, Li Ya instinctively hid behind Liu Kai Xuan.
"It's over!"
Liu Kai Xuan rubbed his hands and sighed, "Li Deya, oh Li Deya!"
"Next time you reincarnate, be a good person!"
Li Ya asked, "Is he really dead?"
Liu Kai Xuan was amused, "Just look up and you'll know!"
"I... I don't want to look!"
Li Ya retorted nervously, not daring to look at Li Deya's body, and turned away.
Li Ya's reaction made Liu Kai Xuan laugh.
"Secretary Li, you came all this way and you're leaving without seeing anything?"
"Then this trip was for nothing, wasn't it!"
Li Ya retorted, "Who told you it was for nothing? Hearing the gunshot is enough for me!"
"Do you think I'm as bored as you are?"
...
At dusk, the atmosphere in the courtyard became lively again.
"Vice-Director Li of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was really shot this morning!"
"I went to see it too..."
"Alas, the world is so changeable, and life is unpredictable!"
"Who can say otherwise? Although Li Deya deserved to be shot!"
"But to lose a living person so suddenly is truly too abrupt!"
"Why do I feel like it's not a big deal?"
"Li Deya was executed entirely due to his own fault!"
"Forget it, forget it. No matter what, the dead should be respected. Let's say less."
"Yes, if we're going to talk, let's talk about the number one scumbag in our courtyard, Yi Zhonghai!"
"Haha, when did Yi Zhonghai become the number one scumbag? I never knew!"
"This matter has long ceased to be a secret, hasn't it?"
"Did Yi Zhonghai break up with Qin Huairu?"
"He's still hoping Qin Huairu will bear him a son, and the cub isn't even born yet, so how can he break up?"
"That's true. When Yi Zhonghai divorced his first wife, I thought it was really because his first wife had changed her mind."
"Now I understand. It was all Yi Zhonghai, that old donkey, deliberately trying to disgust people!"
"Yi Zhonghai himself wanted to use Qin Huairu for procreation, so he smeared all the blame for the divorce onto his first wife!"
"This hypocrite with a heart as venomous as a snake is truly disgusting!"
...
A large group of people in the courtyard were discussing heatedly. Yi Zhonghai was truly anxious!
According to Yi Zhonghai's plan, as soon as Qin Huairu gave him a son, he would kick this bloodsucker to the curb.
But things didn't go as planned. Qin Huairu's belly showed no signs of pregnancy, so how could he not be anxious?
Feeling agitated, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but glare at Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu was indignant, "Why are you glaring at me? It's your own inability, humph!"
"I... " Yi Zhonghai's heart was filled with intense agitation again.
The old TCM doctor who had examined him a while ago had said that it was Yi Zhonghai who was infertile.
After holding back his words for a long time, Yi Zhonghai spoke again, "Qin Huairu, no matter what, you must give me a son!"
"How am I supposed to give you one?"
Qin Huairu retorted with a cold laugh, "You're too incompetent, don't blame me?"
"You are a woman, and as long as you want to get pregnant, you will be able to get pregnant!"
"No matter what, I just want a son!"
"What do you mean?"
Qin Huairu shot back sharply, "I'm not a casual woman!"
"Aren't you casual enough?"
Yi Zhonghai rebuked sternly, "On our wedding day, you dared to go out and cheat on me!"
"What do you mean!"
Qin Huairu said sternly, "Do you want a divorce? If you don't want to be married anymore, then let's divorce!"
Yi Zhonghai said with a dark expression, "As long as you give me a son, I'll give you all my savings!"
"All of it..." Qin Huairu asked, "How much is all of it?"
"1000 yuan!"
Yi Zhonghai directly put a price on it. Qin Huairu's tense expression finally eased slightly.
Bang Geng had been released from prison a while ago.
However, because of his imprisonment, Bang Geng had been expelled from Red Star Primary School.
In order for Bang Geng to continue his studies, Qin Huairu sent him to the countryside.
Qin Huairu had to send six yuan to her hometown every month for Bang Geng's living expenses and tuition.
Therefore, she was in dire need of money!
"How about it, 1000 yuan should be enough for you, right?" Seeing Qin Huairu's wavering, Yi Zhonghai urged again.
