"Stop the nonsense and delete the statement immediately!" Di Dongsheng ignored all her explanations, his only demand being the deletion of the statement.
Without giving her any further opportunity, he ended the call.
Glancing at the call duration, Jiang Feifei snorted and tossed her phone aside.
Deleting it was fine. It had been a long time, and the effect she wanted had already been achieved.
Jiang Feifei went into the inner room, changed out of her bathrobe, and put on a red dress.
Leaving the spa, Jiang Feifei drove home.
...
The Di Residence.
Summoned back by a phone call from the old lady, Jiang Ziyu entered the living room to find the gathered Di family members. She had met some of them before, while others were strangers.
"You're back." The old lady reached out and patted the seat beside her. "Come, sit here."
The short distance felt like a century to Jiang Ziyu. She couldn't understand why the old lady had personally called her back.
Sitting beside the old lady, Jiang Ziyu noticed Zhao Yanxia covering her face and weeping on the carpet.
The Di family members beside her appeared to be comforting her, but were in fact enjoying the spectacle.
"Third daughter-in-law, stop crying. Those women outside can't compare to you, the legitimate wife. Besides, even if the third son really has a relationship with her, it's just for fun; he won't take it seriously."
"Exactly. Men, after all, can be temporarily attracted to new things and make mistakes. He made a mistake, but you also need to introspect."
Listening to these words, Jiang Ziyu felt her ears were being insulted.
How was a man's mistake related to a woman? Did the woman make him go out and be with other women in an improper relationship?
The old lady tapped her cane forcefully on the floor. "Stop talking, all of you. Aren't Mingjue and the others back yet?"
Speak of the devil, and they shall appear.
Di Mingjue and Di Ruihe returned together.
Entering the living room, Di Ruihe had the same expression as Jiang Ziyu when she first came in. He looked at all the aunts and cousins gathered there and glanced questioningly at Wu Xuerou on the sofa.
"Where is Dongsheng? Didn't he come back with you?" the old lady pressed them.
Everyone looked at them expectantly, awaiting their reply. Zhao Yanxia, in particular, watched with longing eyes.
Di Ruihe replied, "Third brother didn't go to the company today. There are many matters at the company that require his attention, and we haven't been able to contact him."
"How can you not contact him? Is he really with that slut!" Zhao Yanxia stood up from the floor like a madwoman and bombarded Di Ruihe with questions.
As for why he couldn't be contacted, perhaps only Di Dongsheng himself knew.
The old lady was also displeased with her tone and tapped her cane against the floor again, making a loud clatter.
Zhao Yanxia also felt wronged. Since the incident, she hadn't been able to contact Di Dongsheng and hadn't received any explanation.
"Ruihe, try again. See if you can reach him," the old lady instructed.
He dialed the phone, again and again, but the recipient seemed to have vanished, offering no response at all.
After fruitless attempts, the old lady was also overwhelmed by the situation. "Everyone, go back for now. I believe Dongsheng will resolve this himself."
Some were unwilling to leave. Normally, they wouldn't have the chance to see anyone make a mistake, and they were eager to vent their frustrations this time.
They shifted their positions on the sofa, remaining seated as if rooted to the spot.
She had thought these people were there to help her, but now that she saw they were just there to watch the show, Zhao Yanxia no longer cared for them to stay.
With tear-streaked cheeks, she stood in the middle and addressed everyone with a displeased tone, "Everyone, please go back. We can handle our own affairs, so you don't need to trouble yourselves with our worries."
"The way you put it, we're trying to help you. And you're not grateful."
"Exactly. We're all very busy; do you think we're willing to get involved in your matters?"
The elder ones vented their displeasure.
