The Mightiest Little Peasant

“This is too disgusting! I’ve always thought that Haoyu is a good kid!”

“I didn’t expect that he’s ‘that’ kind of person!”

Everyone discussed hotly as they flipped through the documents.

Old Master Qin took a set of documents and started reading it. His face became darker and darker.

The information about his motel reservations was printed in a tiny font on the document. He had a one-night stand every few days. Some of the rooms even had unique themes.

Old Master Qin might be old, but he understood what was going on.

If Zhang Haoyu was in a steady relationship with a girl, they would not need to go to love motels every other day. The Zheng family house was big after all.

Mature, dependable, and loyal? No, that was immature, unfaithful, and irresponsible!

Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin could not believe their eyes when they saw the documents.

They had always thought that Zheng Haoyu was a well-behaved kid. They did not expect that it was only a facade!

“This is all false! That kid made it up! Don’t believe what you see!” Chen Yan shouted frantically, “My Haoyu is a good kid.”

She was totally flustered.

With Old Master Qin’s approval, she was another step closer to succeeding in her plan. Now that the motel reservation records were leaked, all her effort was for naught.

“Right! This is all made-up! I’ve never made so many reservations at love motels! He forged the documents!” Zheng Haoyu stood up and shouted frantically.

“Yes, that guy is well-connected to the police. He must have asked the police to forge these documents. How can you believe an underhanded person?”

Everyone hesitated when they heard that.

That was perhaps possible! They had seen how Captain Zhang behaved so courteously toward the kid. He must have connections in the police force.

It was all too easy for him to create an official-looking document to frame someone else.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Tang Hao at that instant.

“You’re still trying to look for excuses? Alright, I have more juicy news!” Tang Hao smirked. He took out his phone, tapped it a few times, and suddenly the sound of heavy breathing was heard.

“Look at this. Who do you think the male is?”

Tang Hao muted his phone, then passed it around.

The females were too embarrassed to watch, while the guys crowded around. “Isn’t that Haoyu?” They exclaimed in surprise.

Zheng Haoyu trembled and his face went pale again.

He was utterly confused.

What the hell was going on? How did the kid obtain his video? Even the police would not be able to do so!

Even Chen Yan could not believe it. It was easy to obtain and falsify motel reservation records, and she knew that the police could do it. How did he obtain the video though?

She thought for a while and said, “She must be Haoyu’s ex-girlfriend! It’s normal nowadays for a couple in a relationship to make out in a love motel, right?”

“Right, right! She’s my ex!” Zheng Haoyu said frantically, grasping at straws.

“Is that so? How about this then?”

Tang Hao took his phone and played another video. “If this isn’t enough to convince you, there’s more! I have dozens of those! Don’t tell me you have so many ex-girlfriends!”

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

“Dozens of those? Oh my god!” Everyone went slack-jawed.

Tang Hao played several more videos before keeping his phone.

He glared coldly at Chen Yan and Zheng Haoyu. “I wonder who it was who said that I was a pervert. Look who’s the real pervert now!” He said mockingly.

Zheng Haoyu’s legs went limp again and he fell sitting down on the chair.

His face was pale as a sheet, and he slumped on the chair as though his soul had left his body.

He knew that his reputation was in tatters.

Stonegate Town was a small place, and news spread around very quickly. His relatives and all the people who knew him would have heard about the news by tomorrow.

How would they regard him then?

Pervert? Lecher?

It was a total disaster!

More incredibly, he had saved those videos in a computer in his house at Provincial City, and no one else could have gotten their hands on them. How did the kid obtain them?

Chen Yan was stunned. She could not explain her way out of that.

She even thought of blaming her son. In her eyes, he must have accidentally shared it with other people, and that was how the kid found the videos.

‘It’s all over!’

The marriage proposal had failed. Furthermore, the Zheng family would be the pariahs of Stonegate Town.

Her face became ghastly pale. Then, a vicious expression flashed on her face as she glared resentfully at Tang Hao.

‘It’s all this kid’s fault! If he wasn’t here, there wouldn’t be so much trouble!’

“Let’s go, my son!” Chen Yan pulled Zheng Haoyu and prepared to leave.

“Just you wait, you filthy kid. I won’t forgive you for ruining my son’s reputation,” she said viciously.

Tang Hao laughed coldly. “Your family is almost going bankrupt. What can you hope to do?”

Chen Yan was shocked, but she laughed. “My family is bankrupt? You must be crazy, you filthy kid! We’re still fine!”

Tang Hao chuckled. “If the Zheng family is as fine as you say, then why would you and your son be going after Xiangyi’s money? That’s not only greedy but also contemptible!”

Chen Yan started to panic. She did not understand how the kid knew about her family’s situation.

‘There’s something uncanny about this kid!’

She had thought that the kid would be a pushover. His birthday present was proof that he was not a shrewd person. However, she was caught unprepared when the kid decided to retaliate.

He knew about the motel reservations and the videos, and now even their family finances!

That was utterly impossible!

‘What… What are you saying? The Zheng family is wealthy. That small amount of money is loose change to us! Don’t spout nonsense!” Chen Yan yelled.

Everyone also started laughing.

The kid must have been mistaken. The Zheng family should have been more well-off than the Qin family, so they should not be coveting Qin Xiangyi’s money.

“Is that so? Why did I hear that the Zheng family business has been declining over the past few years? Your family business has recorded several straight years of losses. Furthermore, Granny Chen, you’ve picked up a gambling addiction and lost a lot of money! That’s two or three million yuan in debt!

“The Zheng family is almost bankrupt. That’s why you want your son to marry Xiangyi so that you can take her money.”

Everyone roared in surprise when they heard that.

“Nonsense! Don’t listen to him!” Chen Yan denied it frantically.

Old Master Qin furrowed his brows and asked sternly. “Let me ask you, Chen Yan, what’s going on? If you don’t explain yourself now, I’ll still be able to find out the truth anyway.”

“We’re facing some difficulties in our finances, yes, but that’ll be solved soon. Our company will soon be profitable again,” Chen Yan said.

Just as she finished speaking, her phone started ringing.

She answered the call. Then, her entire body trembled.

Her legs went weak and she slumped onto a chair like a deflated ball.

“How can this be… How can this be…” She mumbled as her face was wracked with despair.

“What’s wrong, Mom?” Zheng Haoyu rushed ahead and propped her up. “What happened?”

“The company is closed down… the Zheng family… is finished!” Chen Yan said dejectedly.
