Chapter 33
The Orchid Sentenced to 'Death'

As they stepped out of the doorway, they ran into Kang Bo, the old lady, and the others who were heading to the nearby teahouse for morning tea.

“Dad.” A Guang instinctively called out when he saw Kang Bo.

Kang Bo, who hadn't noticed A Guang and Xiang Lan at first, looked at them.

“A Guang, A Zheng, what are you doing here?” Kang Bo saw Kang Er Zheng behind them.

“I came here to buy some autumn clothes, and I just happened to meet A Guang and them.” Kang Er Zheng pointed to the supermarket behind them and explained.

“A Kang, who is this?” Guan Shu, Ba Gu, and the others asked, seeing Kang Er Zheng.

They actually all knew in their hearts.

“Hello everyone, I'm Kang Er Zheng.” Kang Er Zheng knew that his identity would definitely be discussed, so he naturally had to introduce himself openly.

“This is my younger brother, a master's graduate from a prestigious university in the United States, now working as a senior white-collar worker in a multinational company.” Kang Bo proudly introduced Kang Er Zheng's identity.

“He’s a fine young man.”

“He’s promising.” They all nodded as they looked at Kang Er Zheng.

Kang Bo looked at Xiang Lan and A Guang next to him.

His eyes lingered on Xiang Lan’s hair for a moment.

“A Guang, what are you doing here?” Kang Bo asked A Guang.

He knew in his heart that A Guang and Xiang Lan were definitely on a date.

“Dad, what are you doing here?” A Guang asked back.

“We’re coming here for tea, I heard there’s a very cheap teahouse here.” The old lady replied.

“You bought so many things?” Kang Bo saw the bags in Xiang Lan’s and A Guang’s hands and asked.

“Yeah, I’m accompanying Xiang Lan to shop and buy a few clothes.” A Guang nodded.

“You bought so many things, it must have cost a lot of money.” Kang Bo looked at the bags in their hands.

“Over a thousand.” Xiang Lan said directly.

“What? Over a thousand?!” Kang Bo was shocked.

Ordinary people don’t even earn a thousand a month, after eight hundred you have to pay taxes.

“We won’t disturb you anymore, we’ll go first.” A Guang remembered what Kang Er Zheng said and led them out.

“A Kang, who is that girl? Her hair looks like a rooster’s comb?” Guan Shu, who still had hair, asked after they left.

“She’s his coworker.” Kang Bo naturally didn’t dare say she was his girlfriend.

“Is she a ‘捞妹’?” Ba Gu asked.

“Yeah.” The old lady nodded.

People in Yangcheng called outsiders ‘捞妹’.

“She doesn’t look like a coworker, isn’t she his girlfriend?” Guan Shu continued to ask.

“Yes, she’s chasing A Guang.” Kang Bo blurted out.

“Then A Kang, you have to be careful, watch out for women like this, her hair is all messed up, and she spends money like water, be careful that she spends A Guang’s money later.” Guan Shu also advised him with concern.

Kang Bo nodded with a strained smile on his face.

He also thought to himself that A Guang couldn't be with this woman.

Kang Er Zheng saw them discussing A Guang and Xiang Lan and spoke up.

“Big brother, are you going for lunch? I haven’t eaten either, let’s go together.” Kang Er Zheng said to them.

“Alright, let’s go together.” The topic was diverted, and everyone focused on eating.

At the dinner table, the neighbours asked Kang Er Zheng many questions.

Like his salary income and marital status.

Kang Er Zheng just said a relatively high salary, over eight thousand.

Everyone was very surprised and praised him for being young and promising.

The neighbours also inquired whether Kang Er Zheng's company was hiring.

Kang Er Zheng smiled and said yes, they had to be a graduate of a prestigious university, majoring in finance.

They were disappointed when they heard this, they were going to introduce their relatives.

He wasn’t wrong, the recruitment standards of his company were indeed this, those who met these standards could get in themselves, no need for Kang Er Zheng to pull any strings.

After the meal, Kang Er Zheng also sent Kang Bo home.

Kang Bo didn’t say a word along the way, wondering what he was thinking about.

At home, in Kang Bo’s room.

“No, A Guang can’t be with this girl.” Kang Bo returned to his room and couldn’t wait to tell the old lady.

“Ah? Why?” The old lady asked curiously.

“Didn’t you see? Today A Guang is dating that ‘捞妹’, spending money like water, and all messed up, A Guang’s money will be wasted by her sooner or later.” Kang Bo stated his reason.

“How do you know she’s using A Guang’s money? What if she’s using her own money?” The old lady asked back.

“Humph, when dating, they all use the man’s money, when would they use the woman’s money.” Kang Bo retorted. “Didn’t you also use my money?”

“Didn’t you also use my money?” The old lady was a little unhappy and retorted. Then she said what she thought about Xiang Lan. “I think that girl is quite innocent.”

“Innocent? I think she’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, you’ll know when you get married, not only will A Guang’s money be spent by her, you and I, the two old guys, our ‘coffin money’ will be wasted by her.” Kang Bo exaggerated.

“Is it really that exaggerated? Besides, A Guang is already forty this year, if he keeps dragging it on, A Guang will really become a bachelor.” The old lady was more worried that A Guang would become a bachelor.

“I’d rather he become a monk than marry that ‘捞妹’.” Kang Bo said angrily.

“How do you talk.” The old lady glared at him.
