Chapter 115: Kong Hualian's Fear

Song Fang’s husband grimaced and said, “Wife, I don’t have the means to suddenly produce gifts worth millions. Why don’t you find yourself another husband?” Inwardly, he sneered: If I really had millions to spare, I would have replaced you long ago. Would I still be foolish enough to use it to appease your family?

“Hmph, Kong Hualian, I knew you were thinking about those vixens outside,” Song Fang angrily accused.

“I’ll fight you,” she said, lunging at her husband. In front of so many people, Kong Hualian was not about to lose face. Without hesitation, he kicked her away, sending her flying.

“Ah, Kong Hualian, how dare you hit me!” Song Fang yelled furiously. This was her natal family; she couldn’t afford to lose face here.

She charged at Kong Hualian again. But as a man, Kong Hualian was no match for Song Fang’s resistance.

With a series of punches and kicks, Kong Hualian beat her down until she lay on the ground, wailing loudly.

“Kong Hualian, I won’t let this go!” Song Li and the others rushed over, pleading, “Kong Hualian, how can you hit Song Fang? We won’t let you off.” After all, this was the Song family. Kong Hualian couldn’t just bully them as he pleased.

Kong Hualian looked coldly at Song Li and the others. “Alright then, if you have the guts, come and find me. You think I don’t know your background? I do. If I just make one call, I’ll have you regretting ever being born.” The previously arrogant Song family members suddenly wilted.

They knew Kong Hualian had some connections outside and was somewhat capable. That was why Song Fang had been so brazen within the family.

If they provoked Kong Hualian, others might come to rough them up, and no one knew how that would end.

Song Li hurriedly said, “Kong Hualian, this is your family matter. The Song family won’t intervene for now. But you can’t fight here. You should leave quickly.”

Kong Hualian sneered. “Of course I’m leaving. None of you Song family members are capable; I’m not afraid of any of you. Not to insult you, but in less than three years, your Song family will be finished.”

“You—you...” Song Li was too angry to speak, but Kong Hualian’s words struck a painful truth.

The Song family was declining; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to ask Song Li to help him get a deputy general manager position at Bailey Group.

Moreover, Kong Hualian was somewhat formidable, so Song Li dared not provoke him.

As Kong Hualian continued to boast, He Haoxuan stood and coldly said, “Enough. If you want to leave, leave. Don’t make a scene here.”

Song Li was startled to hear He Haoxuan speak to Kong Hualian like that.

Kong Hualian had often boasted about his many connections outside the Song family.

Now, hearing He Haoxuan scold him, they all feared Kong Hualian might call in reinforcements against their family.

He Haoxuan was just bragging, but he had involved them now.

Even Song Li didn’t dare cross Kong Hualian; they certainly wouldn’t.

Just as Song Li thought of apologizing to Kong Hualian, hoping he would overlook the offense, Kong Hualian abruptly ran over to He Haoxuan.

Some Song family members watched with schadenfreude, thinking, “Haha, this will be entertaining. Kong Hualian is furious and will surely hit He Haoxuan.”

He Haoxuan had been so arrogant earlier, gaining much face for the Song family, but now his luck was turning. They were secretly pleased.

Though He Haoxuan had brought many gifts, they were only given to important Song family members; lower-ranking relatives and friends received nothing.

Everyone expected Kong Hualian to attack He Haoxuan. Instead, Kong Hualian bent at a ninety-degree angle beside him and flattered, “Young Master He, greetings. I’m Kong Hualian. Please take care of me in the future.”

What was going on?

Why was Kong Hualian suddenly fawning over He Haoxuan? Remember, earlier He Haoxuan hadn’t given any gifts to Song Fang’s family, and Song Li had been disparaging them.

The once boastful Kong Hualian now acted like a lapdog next to He Haoxuan, a sight no one could have imagined.

“Enough, just leave,” He Haoxuan said, disapproving of Kong Hualian’s violence against women.

“Yes, yes, I’m leaving now,” Kong Hualian nodded frantically.

These foolish Song family members didn’t know He Haoxuan’s true capability, but Kong Hualian did.

Previously, to help Song Fang undermine Song Li’s family, Kong Hualian had investigated their situation.

The Song Li family was living poorly; they couldn’t even afford a BMW X5, let alone an X7.

Now they had bought two BMW X7s, with the licenses registered in Li Qingying’s name. Kong Hualian suspected that He Haoxuan had bought them.

Given Song Li’s personality, if they had bought the cars themselves, the licenses wouldn’t bear Li Qingying’s name.

Seeing He Haoxuan’s close attention to Li Qingying, Kong Hualian could guess how the cars were procured.

Those two excellent license plates weren’t just about wealth; they required connections and channels.

Moreover, the millions in gifts He Haoxuan brought made Kong Hualian’s heart race.

This was what it meant to be wealthy and influential.

To give away gifts worth millions without a second thought—that was generosity on another level, equivalent to two BMW X7s.

Kong Hualian immediately played it safe, avoiding any confrontation with He Haoxuan to prevent provoking such a powerful figure.

But he didn’t expect Song Fang, oblivious to danger, to keep trying to undermine He Haoxuan and Song Li, which enraged Kong Hualian.

“If you want to die, Song Fang, don’t drag me into it. Even if we’re married, what does that matter?” Kong Hualian scolded her, trying to make his stance clear before He Haoxuan.

He was not siding with Song Fang; what she said earlier was her own business, not his.

Once outside, Kong Hualian happily waved his hand. “Good. He Haoxuan shouldn’t take it out on me now.”

Only then did some Song family members realize just how formidable He Haoxuan was.

“Wow, Song Li, your son-in-law is truly impressive.”

“Song Li, when are you free? We should visit your home.”

“Song Li, I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow.”

Song Li listened to these compliments, feeling immensely pleased.

He Haoxuan could be fierce at times; he even dared to confront Yang Zhiyi. How could Kong Hualian not fear him?

He Haoxuan might lack real ability, but if others misunderstood, so be it.

This way, she could keep up appearances.

Song Li took a glass of wine and approached. “Li, you’re getting stronger and stronger. I’m truly happy for you.”

“That’s right. We’ve already bought two cars and are planning to buy a nice villa,” Song Li, a little tipsy, spoke without thinking, boasting wildly.
