With a single sentence, Lu Qingxu was so infuriated that his hair stood on end, and he stormed into the private room in less than two minutes.
Although the private room was gaudy and extravagant, Zhou Jinbei still saw the cut on his face at a glance.
"I said, you're putting on such a big show today, it turns out you've got a cut on your face."
"What happened? Did you get into a fight with someone after drinking too much, or did you stir up trouble you shouldn't have and get beaten up?"
Lu Qingxu gave her a look that said, "No one will mistake you for a mute if you don't speak," then turned to Jiang Nanfang.
"Aren't you supposed to avoid alcohol now?"
The injuries on his face were subtle, one on his left cheek and one on his right temple.
Looking at his face, Jiang Nanfang couldn't help but think of Zhan Beijue.
Things were becoming increasingly bizarre.
"I really can't drink, I ordered for the two of them. I'm hungry, do you have a kitchen here? Make me dinner."
Heaven, can a wealthy wife not just stay at home and be served?
She had to come here and cause trouble for him.
After just fighting with her husband, he had to serve his wife. Lu Qingxu was filled with pent-up frustration and nowhere to release it.
"What do you want to eat?"
"What do you have?"
"I don't know."
"Do you have a menu? I'll order by looking."
She's truly spoiled by Zhan Beijue, putting on such airs.
"There's no menu, it's in the chef's head."
"Then I'll go talk to him. Please show me the way."
The other two felt Lu Qingxu's attitude was a bit too bad, but Jiang Nanfang didn't mind.
They left the private room together. After only a couple of steps, Jiang Nanfang grabbed him.
"Did you fight with Zhan Beijue?"
Lu Qingxu was stunned, only then understanding Jiang Nanfang's purpose for coming out.
He thought to himself that Jiang Nanfang was indeed Jiang Nanfang, making such a roundabout approach.
"You're not here to apologize to me for our fight, are you?"
He really was overthinking it.
Zhan Beijue hadn't even mentioned it.
Jiang Nanfang didn't answer him: "Why did you fight?"
"Didn't he tell you? If you already know, why are you asking me?"
"He said what he said, now I'm asking you."
Lu Qingxu couldn't fathom Jiang Nanfang's depth.
At this moment, he suddenly wasn't sure if Zhan Beijue had really told her or if Jiang Nanfang was bluffing.
After all, this matter concerned their marital future. Although Zhan Beijue's actions were not honorable, he had no right to betray him.
"Whatever he says is what it is... So what did you come to see me for?"
Jiang Nanfang told the truth.
"You know, I don't like beating around the bush, I like hearing the truth."
"If Zhan Beijue is hiding anything from me, even if you all don't say anything, I'll eventually find out. When that happens, no one will look good."
"So, while there's still room for maneuver, as his friend..."
Good thing she didn't say it. She was just bluffing him earlier!
Lu Qingxu sighed in his heart and, looking at her sincere gaze, didn't know how to respond.
At the same time, he wondered what Zhan Beijue was trying to achieve.
He had such a smart and beautiful wife at home, yet he insisted on deceiving everyone outside.
If he liked playing so much, he shouldn't pretend to be a devoted lover, why bother with a good reputation!
Don't get married, just have fun together, be shamelessly scummy, wouldn't that be great!
"Alright, since you found me, it must be out of trust in me. You know, I don't like lying either."
"To tell you the truth, I don't know if he's okay, but we did fight."
"It's because there are things I can't stand about him, and he can't stand about me. I can only say this much, what you think specifically depends on yourself."
A man's friends are all birds of a feather, expecting to hear the truth from them...
Jiang Nanfang didn't want to waste any more effort. Damn it, he's the one who did the wrong thing, not her, so why is he being so secretive and always thinking about leaving room?
She'll go to Beicheng tomorrow and block him! Demand an explanation in person!
All the other children were asleep, but Jingyu, with his sensitive mind, had been listening to the sounds outside the door.
It was past one in the morning when Jiang Nanfang finally returned to the room.
He sighed silently in his heart.
Mommy was in a bad mood, and might act impulsively... He didn't want Mommy to, like last time, leave him and his sister to handle things alone.
So from now on, he would watch her. Wherever Mommy went, he would go.
Even if it was to the ends of the earth, he and his sister would follow.
The next day, Jiang Nanfang had breakfast with them and told them to go to school.
Jingyu pretended to have a headache and felt unwell in his stomach, asking if he could take a day off.
He never lied about such things normally, so Jiang Nanfang didn't suspect him and allowed him to stay.
Seeing her brother not going, Tiantian also fussed and didn't want to go.
"I'll stay home with brother, otherwise he'll be lonely by himself."
Jiang Nanfang let the two of them stay at home and sent the other two to school.
Jingyu and Tiantian squatted in the corner, watching Jiang Nanfang's phone location gradually move towards the suburbs, guessing she was going to the airport.
The two of them nimbly climbed over the wall and called for a pre-arranged ride-hailing service.
Soon, a black private car stopped beside them, scrutinizing them from head to toe.
"Who called the car? Where are your parents?"
"I called for it, take me to the airport, quickly. I'll pay you double the fare."
"Little ones. Where are your mom and dad?"
"They're waiting for us at the airport to meet them, hurry up."
What kind of people are they? They're too careless to let children take a taxi to the airport by themselves.
The two got into the car, and the driver began to size them up in the rearview mirror.
Seeing them, young as they were, dressed in designer clothes from head to toe, and carrying backpacks that he had shown his daughter online before, the ones he couldn't afford with a year's salary, he thought: Could these two little ones be from the villa up there?
We work ourselves to death and can't earn much money all year round, but here they are, dressing up two little kids in gold and silver.
As his eyes shifted, the driver, who was constantly criticized by his wife for being incompetent, had other ideas.
When they arrived at school, Rui Rui and Ge'er were both unhappy.
Because Jingyu and Tiantian had betrayed them.
It was obvious that Jingyu wasn't sick; he stayed home deliberately for his parents.
Since they had planned this all along, why didn't they tell them in advance so they could act together?
Rui Rui was playing with his watch under the desk dejectedly, when suddenly, Jingyu's movements caught his attention.
Why did he leave home? And going to such a remote place? Could he be tracking Mommy? .oΓg
He sent a message to Ge'er, asking her to check Jiang Nanfang's phone location.
Soon, Ge'er told him: Mommy was on her way to the airport.
This was strange. Daddy was in Beicheng, and Mommy was going to the airport, so why were the two of them going to the suburbs?
And how did they get there? It couldn't have been Uncle Acheng driving them, so it must have been a taxi.
A taxi?
Rui Rui's heart tightened, and he suddenly became nervous.
Could something have happened?
