Chapter Eighty-Three: Spanking

From the scolding and blaming of those few harsh voices, Xiang Kun received a piece of information that left him somewhat stunned and hard to believe:

Shiling’s Mom was ‘the other woman,’ involved with a married man.

Moreover, Shiling’s Mom and the man had already been together for a long time, and Liu Shiling was their child.

This apartment was also bought for her by the man, and these people claimed to be the aunts and cousins of the man’s legal wife.

The purpose of their visit seemed to be this apartment. They claimed that although the apartment was registered under Shiling’s Mom’s name, it was actually marital property of the man and they were here to reclaim it.

Upon hearing this information, Xiang Kun’s first reaction was disbelief.

After all, in his viewpoint, it was hard to associate Shiling’s Mom, who seemed quite ordinary in appearance and somewhat plump in figure, with a ‘mistress.’

She rarely wore makeup and dressed more like a homemaker—loose and comfy—giving off the aura of a very normal and typical housewife.

Xiang Kun had never met the husband who, according to Shiling’s Mom, was away on a construction project. However, while exercising his aural and olfactory abilities and gathering information about the entire building, he occasionally overheard the talking voices of Shiling’s Mom and her husband in Apartment 706. The topics of their conversations were always normal, everyday things that a husband and wife would talk about.

But the problem was… Shiling’s Mom didn’t deny anything, nor did she retort.

What should I do?

Xiang Kun was a bit hesitant. Not because if Shiling’s Mom was indeed the ‘other woman’ he would despise her and feel she deserved bullying, but because he was worried that if he intervened before the situation escalated, it could have a counterproductive effect.

Anyone could tell from their voices that those several women were quite shrewish. Seeing him, a single male neighbor, standing up for Shiling’s Mom, they were bound to spout some nasty words.

But he couldn’t just ignore it…

Based on the voices and smells, he concluded that there were currently three women, a man, and Liu Shiling and her mother in Apartment 706. The man was quiet and standing by the open door. However, judging from the smell, it wasn’t Shiling’s Mom’s “husband”.

Right now, these people seemed to be just “accusing” and demanding Shiling’s Mom hand over the apartment to them, but who knows if a physical conflict might break out as things escalate, especially given Liu Shiling, the little girl, was also in there.

So, Xiang Kun considered calling the police.

But he hesitated, unsure about the grounds on which to report it. Should he mention illegal entry? But they did not exactly break in.

If the police come, it might escalate into a big scene, and if word gets out, it won’t be good for Shiling’s Mom. She was not being held against her will or involved in any physical altercations, so if she wanted to call the police, she could do it herself.

Or maybe he should call security? Yes, that seemed possible.

No matter who eventually gets this apartment, at least Shiling’s Mom is currently the owner. If they want to fight over the ownership of the apartment, they should go to court.

However, before Xiang Kun could dial the property management’s number, he heard the man standing at the entrance of Apartment 706 yell:

“You little bastard! Are you looking for a death wish?!”

Xiang Kun flung open the anti-theft door in front of him and rushed out. As he stepped out, he saw, through the open door of Apartment 706, a tall and thin man wearing a polo shirt in the living room. The man was holding Little Fat Girl Liu Shiling’s hand in one hand and a fruit knife in the other, shouting at her angrily. Shiling’s Mom had just stood up from the sofa and was anxiously trying to get over, but she was blocked by three middle-aged women.

Xiang Kun shouted loudly: “Let go of the child!”
