Laying Bare Your Secrets

Zhao Liqing did not notice Xiao Churan's expression. Beaming with pride, she pulled the man beside her over and said, "Let me introduce you. This is my husband, Zheng Hao!"

She went on to boast, "He's the eldest young master of the Zheng Family in Jinling, and the heir to their fortune of over a hundred million!"

Xiao Churan nodded politely.

Ye Chen's expression, however, darkened.

He had brought his wife out to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Who would have thought such an annoying creature would come charging out of nowhere?

Zhao Liqing continued showing off. "Oh, right, my husband is a platinum member here. He has a lot of privileges. I bet Ye Chen only booked an ordinary private room at most. How about I have him upgrade you straight to a deluxe room later?"

Xiao Churan was about to decline politely when Ye Chen chuckled and said, "The place I booked is pretty good too. Let's leave it at that."

After all, he had booked the Hanging Garden on the very top floor to give his wife the grand wedding they had missed. She was just a platinum member; what did she have to show off about?

Besides, the entire Buckingham Palace Grand Hotel belonged to him. If he took his wife to a deluxe room only worthy of a platinum member, wouldn't he be lowering his own status?

Zhao Liqing said with some displeasure, "Churan, look at this live-in husband of yours. He doesn't know how to appreciate a favor at all. How do you usually discipline him?"

She linked arms with Zheng Hao and rested her head on his shoulder, smiling. "Nothing about the way Ye Chen carries himself is suited to such a high-class occasion. He could ask my husband for some lessons in aristocratic etiquette sometime. After all, my husband studied in the United Kingdom."

Zheng Hao glanced at Ye Chen with disdain and smiled. "Honey, don't give me an impossible task like that. Mr. Ye is so unconventional that teaching him aristocratic etiquette would probably be as hard as climbing to heaven."

Zhao Liqing nodded and sighed. "If you ask me, Churan, you should just hurry up and get a divorce. Spending your whole life with a poor man like Ye Chen would be such a disservice to yourself!"

Zhao Liqing made no attempt to disguise her words, paying no heed to Xiao Churan's feelings.

Xiao Churan could no longer stand it. She said coldly, "Zhao Liqing, what do you mean by that? My husband is not yours to criticize."

Zhao Liqing covered her mouth and laughed. "I looked down on you back in college. If your family hadn't had a few stinking bucks, how could you possibly have been chosen as the campus belle? Now you've married poorly, and I'm not even allowed to say so?"

Ye Chen was deeply displeased when he heard that.

Back in school, Zhao Liqing had been as fickle as water, using her passable looks to hook up with rich men everywhere she went. Now that she had been lucky enough to marry into a wealthy family, did she really think she was a young madam of high society?

And she even dared to mock his wife?

She was courting death!

At the thought, a surge of anger rose in his heart.

He took out his phone and sent a text to Chen Zekai, the head of the Buckingham Palace Grand Hotel.

"Within three minutes, I want everything on Zhao Liqing, the daughter-in-law of Jinling's Zheng Family!"

Seeing Ye Chen lower his head and look at his phone without a word, Zhao Liqing mocked him even more. "Look at your husband. I'm ridiculing you, and he doesn't even dare speak up for you. You're killing me, hahaha!"

Just then, Ye Chen suddenly received a text from Chen Zekai. "Young master, the information on Zhao Liqing has been sent to you."

Ye Chen looked at the long text, then at Zhao Liqing and her husband, Zheng Hao. Smiling, he asked, "I have some interesting information here. Would you like to hear it?"

Zhao Liqing frowned. "What information?"

Ye Chen said loudly, "Zhao Liqing, female, twenty-six years old, graduate of Jinling University."

"During your freshman year, verified records show you checked into hotel rooms no fewer than a hundred times, with eight different men, including Li Hu, Ma Fei, and Du Xiaoping."

Zhao Liqing stared at him, dumbfounded. Her face went deathly pale as she blurted out, "What nonsense are you spouting?! Watch out, or I'll sue you for defamation!"

Beside her, Zheng Hao frowned deeply, clearly shocked.

Ye Chen continued, "Oh, this one's impressive. You also checked into rooms with two men at once on several occasions. One was called Dong Bin, and the other Dong Jie. They seem to be brothers. Were the three of you having a threesome?"

Zhao Liqing roared in terror, "You're lying! You're lying!"

Ye Chen went on, "Also, during your sophomore year, the vice president of Shenghua Group started keeping you for thirty thousand a month. He kept you for three years in total, and during that time you had four abortions for him, every one of them at Jinling Maternal and Child Health Hospital. After the last abortion, the doctor declared that you would never be able to have children."

He turned to Zheng Hao and asked curiously, "Young Master Zheng, if I'm not mistaken, you still don't have any children, do you?"

Zheng Hao's expression turned ugly in an instant. He glared at Zhao Liqing and demanded, "What's going on here?!"

Sweat covered Zhao Liqing's forehead as she said in a panic, "Hao, don't listen to his lies. My first time was with you! You know that!"

Ye Chen smiled. "Don't rush, don't rush. There's something even better!"

Zhao Liqing grabbed Zheng Hao in a panic, tugging hard to drag him away as she said, "Stop talking! Husband, let's go! We'll be late for our meal!"

Zheng Hao frowned but did not budge. He said to Ye Chen, "What else?"

Ye Chen smiled. "Listen carefully. After graduating from university, Zhao Liqing underwent a complete makeover at a plastic surgery hospital. A month later, she went to work at the Zheng Family's company and deliberately scraped Zheng Hao's Bentley to get acquainted with the Zheng Family's eldest young master, Zheng Hao."

Ye Chen looked up at Zheng Hao. "Am I right?"

Zheng Hao was dumbstruck.

He knew about those things, and they were all true. That meant everything before that was true too?

By now, Zhao Liqing's face was deathly pale, and her whole body was trembling with panic.

She pleaded with Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, I'm begging you to stop. Please!"

Ye Chen sneered. "Now you know to beg me? Sorry, it's too late!"

He continued, "Half a month after meeting Zheng Hao, she took advantage of a business trip to Haicheng to have her hymen repaired at a plastic surgery hospital there. After she came back, she and Zheng Hao officially became a couple, and they married six months later."

Zhao Liqing had collapsed onto the floor. She did not know how Ye Chen had managed to dig up all her secrets. He had laid almost everything bare before her husband!

Zheng Hao was so furious that smoke was practically pouring from his seven orifices. He turned and glared at Zhao Liqing, bellowing, "So you lied to me that night and said it was your first time. It was actually your several hundredth, thousandth, or ten-thousandth time, wasn't it?"

Zhao Liqing hurriedly denied it. "No, that's not true! Hao, you really were my first!"

Ye Chen smiled. "Don't worry. I can find the medical record from when she had her hymen repaired. You can check with the hospital then, and you'll know."

Zheng Hao grabbed Zhao Liqing by the collar and slapped her hard across the face. "Still not telling the truth, are you? Still not telling the truth? Once I've checked everything, I'll sweep you out the door. Your father, your mother, and your younger brother will all move out of my villa. Your brother can forget working for the Zheng Family too! I'll leave your whole family on the streets!"

Zhao Liqing broke down in tears at once and fell to her knees, begging for mercy. "Husband, please don't be angry. I was wrong. Those were mistakes I made when I was young and didn't know any better. I turned over a new leaf afterward and devoted myself to our life together!"

Ye Chen added another stab. "Don't believe her. After she married you, she had breakup sex several times with the man who kept her. He even recorded a video of the breakup sex as a keepsake. If you want, I can find it and send it to you for your viewing pleasure!"
