"Oh," Bai Yaxin said, looking behind Wu Qianyun. "Why does that person look a little like Taotao?"
Wu Qianyun turned around. A woman in a blue maternity dress sat by the window. Who else could it be but her daughter Taotao?
Wu Qianyun did not go over immediately. She looked around the café but did not see her daughter's husband. Her daughter was almost due, so why had that man let her come out alone? Why wasn't he staying by her side?
Fury burned inside Wu Qianyun as she walked over to Taotao's table.
Taotao was clearly surprised too. "Mom, what are you doing here...?"
Taotao spotted Bai Yaxin and Zhao Ru and said in understanding, "Oh, you came for afternoon tea with Auntie Bai and Auntie Zhao."
"Don't change the subject." Wu Qianyun sat down beside Taotao and asked coldly, "Where's Feng Qin?"
Taotao paused, then stammered, "Feng Qin was here with me..."
"Then where is he?"
Taotao felt that things were going terribly wrong. Her parents had opposed her marrying Feng Qin in the first place, and now her mother had caught her out without Feng Qin accompanying her.
Just thinking about it, Taotao could already imagine how her mother would interrogate Feng Qin.
Taotao tried to cover for him. "His company was busy recently, so he didn't have time to keep me company. That's why he took today off especially to be with me."
Wu Qianyun would not be fooled by those pleasantries. She kept asking, "Then where is he?"
Seeing that she could not hide it anymore, Taotao could only tell the truth. "Something suddenly came up at work, so he rushed back to the office. But he asked me over and over whether I'd be okay alone. He only left after I said yes."
She might as well have said nothing. Wu Qianyun said incredulously, "He just dumped you out on the street, a pregnant woman who's almost due?"
Taotao: "..."
She had known it.
"Oh, Mom, he couldn't help it. He really is busy. Didn't that good buddy of his go too?" Taotao wheedled.
Seeing that Wu Qianyun had not returned for so long, Bai Yaxin and Zhao Ru had come over, just in time to hear that.
Bai Yaxin said disapprovingly, "Taotao, the point is, he just doesn't care enough."
Zhao Ru agreed. "Men really know how to lie, Taotao."
Hadn't Yun Yongchang once run circles around her with his lies? If it hadn't been for Lin Tingyue...
Right, Lin Tingyue!
Realization dawned on Bai Yaxin and Zhao Ru at the same time. If Feng Qin really had wronged Taotao, Lin Tingyue would definitely know.
One took Lin Tingyue, the other Lin Xiawan, and pulled them over to this table.
Taotao said, "Auntie Bai, Auntie Zhao, Mom, I know you're worried about me, but Feng Qin really is very, very good."
Very, very good? Good enough to abandon his wife who's almost due to go hook up?
What?
Wu Qianyun shot to her feet, her face livid.
Taotao jumped. "Mom, what's wrong?"
Wu Qianyun was furious. "Call Feng Qin. Ask him where he is."
Although reluctant, Taotao did not want to anger her mother either. She called him, and Feng Qin answered after a while. "Hello, honey. What's wrong?"
Taotao asked, "Where are you?"
"I'm at the office."
"That's right, sis-in-law. Feng Qin's at the office with me. The client was pushing us too hard, so Feng Qin had to rush over. Sorry, sis-in-law."
"It's fine, it's fine."
Taotao hung up and looked at Wu Qianyun.
What does that prove? All it proves is that Feng Qin's with his buddy. They've coordinated their stories!
Ha, so that buddy of Feng Qin's started hooking up regularly while his wife was pregnant... Now his kid's already a year old, and he's still doing it. He's addicted to sneaking bites on the side!
Wu Qianyun's expression grew even uglier. "You believe everything he says?"
Exactly, exactly. He says he's at the office, but he's actually at the Yunting Grand Hotel.
The Yunting Grand Hotel was not far away. Wu Qianyun thought she would go catch that beast red-handed.
Taotao was pregnant and could not go along. Wu Qianyun called her husband and told him to come take their daughter home.
She herself said, "I have something to take care of at the Yunting Grand Hotel. Go home with your dad. He misses you too."
Taotao really had not been home for a long time, so she could only say, "Okay, Mom. Don't worry."
Wu Qianyun had always trusted her daughter. It was that scumbag she could not trust!
The Yunting Grand Hotel? Surely it couldn't be such a coincidence.
Then Taotao watched everyone head to the Yunting Grand Hotel.
Did everyone have business at the Yunting Grand Hotel?
Five minutes later, Wu Qianyun and the others arrived at the Yunting Grand Hotel.
Aaaaaah, just one step away! That scumbag's in 506. Don't let him get away!!!
Wu Qianyun went straight into the elevator and pressed the button for the fifth floor. Lin Tingyue's brow twitched at the sight.
Surely it couldn't be such a coincidence? Auntie Wu actually has business on the fifth floor!
Heh, scumbags really shouldn't do bad things.
After leaving the elevator, Wu Qianyun headed straight for 506. Bai Yaxin and Zhao Ru had reminded her not to reveal that they could hear Lin Tingyue's thoughts.
Wu Qianyun's acting skills erupted. She took out her phone and checked the digits one by one. "Five, zero, six. That's right. This is the place."
Naive as she was, Lin Tingyue was fooled just like that.
Holy granny in heaven, there really is such a coincidence.
Ooh, it may be supernatural, but it really feels like a mother will always protect her daughter.
Wu Qianyun paused. She absolutely could not let a man like this keep hurting her Taotao.
Making up her mind, Wu Qianyun knocked on the door.
No one answered the first knock. Wu Qianyun burned with anxiety. Could they have run away?
That quickly?
Lin Tingyue was puzzled too.
They ran? No, that's not right. They're definitely still inside. Just how lost in it are they, not to hear this?
This time, Bai Yaxin took over, pounding on the door with earth-shaking force. At last, there was a response from inside.
"Who is it?"
Wu Qianyun was about to speak when Zhao Ru tugged on her sleeve. Feng Qin knew Wu Qianyun's voice. They might rustle the grass and startle the snake.
No one spoke. As long as the door stayed shut, Bai Yaxin kept knocking.
Ding Zhuo angrily opened the door. "Who is it? Knock, knock, knock..."
His voice cut off abruptly. Before he could warn Feng Qin, Wu Qianyun shoved him aside and strode in with her phone raised.
Wu Qianyun aimed the camera at Feng Qin on the bed and roared, "What are you doing?"
The people on the bed were still lost in it. No wonder they had not heard Wu Qianyun knocking earlier. Only when her shout startled them did they react.
Recognizing Wu Qianyun, Feng Qin turned deathly pale. "Mom, what are you doing here?"
That movement put him squarely in Wu Qianyun's camera frame.
Meanwhile, Lin Tingyue was counting exactly how many people were on the bed.
F-five? A five-way?
Chapter 29
There were two men and two women on the bed. With Ding Zhuo standing there dumbly, that made exactly five.
Holy crap, this isn't just some local hookup anymore. This should count as soliciting prostitutes, right? Seriously criminal.
Having recorded evidence of Feng Qin's cheating, Wu Qianyun immediately pocketed her phone and was about to call her friends away. She did not want to deal with Feng Qin. Even one more look at someone like him felt filthy.
But she could not stop someone like him from throwing himself at her.
"Mom, Mom, I really know I was wrong. Mom."
Wu Qianyun dodged Feng Qin's hand as he tried to grab her. She said coldly, "Don't call me Mom. How could I have a son-in-law like you? While you were enjoying yourself here, Taotao was still sitting in the café where you dumped her!"
They had raised Taotao with every indulgence and affection since childhood. Who could have known that the daughter they treasured like a pearl in their palms would choose to marry a man like this?
Feng Qin pleaded through tears. "Mom, I'm begging you. Don't tell Taotao about this. Taotao can't take a shock right now. Mom, I'll kneel before you."
After saying that, Feng Qin really dropped to his knees with a thud.
Ha, why didn't you think about your wife being unable to take a shock when you came out to do that? You're only saying this now because you're afraid of being exposed and Taotao divorcing you, leaving you without a penny.
If I were Auntie Wu, I'd slap him twice.
The next second, crisp slaps rang out. To Lin Tingyue's surprise, Wu Qianyun really had slapped the kneeling Feng Qin twice.
Wu Qianyun put all her strength into those two slaps, striking him so hard that blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
"Mom, Taotao's still carrying my child. Do you want to see us flesh and blood torn apart?"
Wu Qianyun trembled all over with anger. "That child belongs to our Xiang Family and Wu Family. It has nothing to do with a degenerate like you."
Since that was how it was, Feng Qin stopped pretending. He slowly rose from the floor, looked at Wu Qianyun's livid face, and suddenly chuckled. "Mom, you're not Taotao. You're so determined, but what about Taotao? Taotao loves me so much. If she refuses to divorce me, what can you do?"
Seriously, who gave this ugly man his confidence? Who would love a man who pays for prostitutes?
Hearing that was like receiving a pill to settle Wu Qianyun's heart. Taotao was the girl she had raised. She had simply been deceived by Feng Qin. Once she saw his true colors, she would definitely divorce him.
"That's nothing for a prostitute-soliciting man like you to worry about." Wu Qianyun stared at Feng Qin, her lips curling. "Not only do I work out, I also practice yoga and Muay Thai when I have time. Did you enjoy those two slaps?"
Auntie Wu is so trendy!
Yes, this powerful-woman energy feels amazing!!!
The smile on Wu Qianyun's face grew more genuine. After she finished speaking, Feng Qin still stood in her way. Wu Qianyun tentatively raised her hand, and Feng Qin reflexively covered his face.
Hahahahaha, those slaps scared him!
