Chapter 431 - 415: Who is the Bumpkin that Sneaked In?
"I wouldn’t have noticed anything amiss if you hadn’t asked me. Ding Gaoqun’s original wife got a divorce and settled abroad with their son. As for the three wives in between, one suddenly jumped off a building, one died in a car accident, and only one, reportedly, got the house, took the money, and went back to her hometown."
Lu Aiguo frowned, "I still vaguely recall that the wife who died in the car accident ended up making a big sum of insurance money for him. The beneficiary was listed as Ding Gaoqun alone. The woman’s family even made a fuss, claiming that Mister Ding had plotted for wealth and caused death.
I happened to be inspecting the branch office here in S City at that time, and your uncle mentioned it, so I have a strong impression of that man. Although the rumors about Ding Gaoqun’s plotting for wealth and murder were quickly suppressed, it still led to a lot of speculation and discussion in private among people in the industry for a while."
"Plotting for wealth and causing death? That’s really no small matter." Lu Yun and Shitou looked at each other and both felt that this possibility was indeed very high.
Lu Aiguo shook his head: "Actually, at that time, your mom, your aunt, your uncle, and I also speculated about it in private, but who really knows what the truth is?
If it really is like that, then sooner or later he will have his day. But anyway, it has nothing to do with us.
Sigh, what are some of these girls thinking nowadays? They know what kind of person he is, yet they still dare to jump into the fire pit. Isn’t it just like Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai—each doing it willingly? If they end up with a bad fate, in the end, it’s their own doing. Is the enjoyment of unearned wealth and honor really that enjoyable?"
"It’s not necessarily that they value money over their lives. They’re probably dazzled by the sudden prospect of a wealthy man willing to marry them, the dream of transforming from a sparrow to a phoenix coming true. They get muddled for a moment, not wanting to think too much. Besides, they may think, ’So what if he’s a playboy? Maybe I’ll be the one to win in the end.’"
