Chapter Five

No sooner had Mrs. Li finished speaking than a waiter rushed out of the banquet hall. "This is terrible! Someone's passed out in the restroom! Hurry, call 120!"

The banquet hall's waiters moved very quickly. In less than a minute, they had dragged out the two people who had passed out unconscious in the third-floor restroom.

The two lay stark naked on the floor. Weren't they President Li and Mrs. Li's younger brother?

Their faces still wore an unnatural flush. Everyone present had experience in such matters, so one look told them what had happened.

The wealthy guests: !!

It had actually turned out to be true? They had never imagined the reversal would come so quickly.

Seated on a chair in the banquet hall, Song Shiwei watched the scene before her, unleashing a torrent of inward commentary. [President Li's still copying the youngsters and chasing thrills at his age. Well, look at him now. He's gone and put himself out of commission.]

Mrs. Li, who had just vowed so confidently that she would always trust her husband, could hardly believe what she was seeing.

Of the two lying before her, one was her husband, and the other was actually her younger brother. The two women had been dragged out of the restroom in disheveled clothing!!

And they were drugged, too???

In an instant, she felt blood surge to her head. She was already on the verge of falling apart.

[Huh? Wait, wasn't that drug supposed to be for Mrs. Li? And it was a double dose. No wonder President Li couldn't take it.]

Mrs. Li: ???

She had been eating melons, only to find herself in the gossip?

She had known it. Her husband would never betray him. All of this might just have been a drunken mistake.

Song Shiwei blinked and continued silently eating melons. [President Li was way too careless. How did he end up drinking the stuff he'd drugged himself?]

[Oh? So Mrs. Li's younger brother drugged her too. Then how did Mrs. Li escape this disaster???]

Her husband and younger brother were still unconscious. For now, all of this was nothing more than Song Shiwei's side of the story. Even if she had stumbled onto the truth about certain things earlier, Mrs. Li still refused to believe her completely.

After more than a decade of marriage, she was still more willing to trust her husband.

"Lexuan, once Zhang Leyao drinks this wine, we can be together forever." President Li, lying on the floor, suddenly murmured, while his body honestly lunged toward the other person beside him. The sight practically scorched their eyes.

The tiny shred of hope Mrs. Li had still harbored shattered with a bang at that moment, along with her sincere heart.

Chapter 5: Chapter Five

◎What a juicy melon, truly a melon full of twists and turns.◎

Watching the scene before them, the wealthy guests suddenly felt nauseated. They were being force-fed melons.

Mrs. Li's eyes reddened, her face full of disappointment, grief spilling uncontrollably into her expression. She squeezed her hands, doing her best to restrain her anger.

Song Shiwei had not expected President Li to admit it on the spot, either. A hundred feelings churned within her, extinguishing even her desire to eat melons as she roared inwardly, [Mrs. Li can actually put up with this? If that were me, I'd absolutely go berserk and ram everyone to death. I'd chop off that scumbag's dick and turn him into a eunuch!]

After hearing Song Shiwei's words, the others nearly lost control and laughed aloud. Her language was crude, but her reasoning certainly wasn't.

After hearing Song Shiwei's complaints, Mrs. Li's gaze darkened. Then she abruptly snatched a bottle of red wine off the table and poured it over the heads of the two people lying on the floor.

"Drink, then! Go on, drink! Drink yourselves to death!" Mrs. Li said through gritted teeth.

[If it were me, I'd get a basin of water from the restroom and splash it over them,] Song Shiwei complained, still not satisfied. [What a waste of such a good bottle of red wine.]

Listening to Song Shiwei's complaints nearby, Mrs. Jiang could barely keep the corners of her mouth under control. It might not be very decorous, but it certainly felt satisfying and cathartic.

She secretly gave Song Shiwei a thumbs-up in her mind.

While Song Shiwei was still complaining, Mrs. Li had already efficiently fetched a bucket of murky black water from somewhere.

Very calmly, she said, "Sorry for the trouble, but please throw these two out by the entrance."

The waiters all knew that Mrs. Li was the one who called the shots in her household. Coupled with what had happened, they moved very quickly, dragging the two men out like heaps of mud.

Mrs. Li did not hesitate either. She lifted the bucket of filthy water and flung it over the two outside the door, startling them awake at once.

"Who was that?" President Li reacted first, climbing up from the ground with fury on his face.

Then the man lying beside him woke up too. "Hubby, I'm so cold. Give me a cuddle."

Song Shiwei: [Bleurgh~ I'm about to puke up years-old leftovers. Is he going to follow that with, 'Hubby, say something~'? My ears!!!]

The wealthy guests: Bleurgh~ They had only wanted to eat melons.

President Li looked at the sticky, filthy water covering him, then at his surroundings, and instantly came to his senses.

His refined, handsome face was now covered in filthy water, making him look particularly frightening. "What do you think you're doing? Is this how you treat your honored guests? You'd better watch out, or I'll..."

"Or you'll what? Li Yongyan, I'm telling you, you're finished." Mrs. Li threw the bucket onto the ground, her face furious.

Song Shiwei clicked her tongue softly twice. [Sis is so badass. Now let's watch the scumbag perform.]

[I think it'll come down to just two things. First, passing the buck. Second, playing the victim. And third, turning around and accusing her instead.]

Song Shiwei's sudden praise brought a blush to Mrs. Li's face, but she still did her best to steady herself.

Li Yongyan was completely bewildered. He only remembered handing Zhang Leyao the spiked wine. Just then, Zhang Lexuan had come over too. They had played around beneath the table for a while, before Zhang Lexuan picked up a wineglass and made an excuse to leave. Only after watching Zhang Leyao drink that glass of spiked red wine had he relaxed.
