Mu Chen sneered. “Don’t compare Song Ning and me to you. Don’t taint our feelings!”

Liang Zhou’s expressions changed slightly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mu Chen asked, “Do you know he has a small villa on Xiushui Road?”

Liang Zhou was stunned by these words.

Mu Chen sneered as he said, “Don’t tell me you don’t know anything about his properties and assets because you don’t care about his wealth…”

Liang Zhou opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment. Ultimately, she did not speak.

Mu Chen continued to say, “If you don’t even know what properties he owns, it means you don’t know where he keeps his lovers…”

Liang Zhou clenched her hands into fists; her nails dug into the flesh of her palms. She tried her best to calm down as she said, “Mu Chen, he’s your father. Please don’t slander him like this. He’s not that kind of person.”

Mu Chen looked at her with pity in his eyes. “How can you believe that a man who could betray his wife wouldn’t betray you? If he cheats once, he’ll cheat again. Don’t you think you’re too old to be so naive? Why can’t you see this?”

Liang Zhou tried her best to reign in her surging emotions. Her heart had been driven mad by the little bast*rd in front of her, and yet, she did not dare to say anything excessive. She did know what had gotten into him today or why he was wasting her time. In the end, she gave up and coldly said, “Where are you taking me? Your father is waiting for me at home.”

Mu Chen scoffed. He looked as though he had heard a very funny joke. “Waiting for you to go home? I don’t think so. I’m taking you to see the good man who’s waiting for you to come home. No, actually, he’s waiting for someone else to come home…”

Liang Zhou was stunned. She looked outside the car window. The sky was getting darker, but there were still a lot of pedestrians on the road. This road did not lead to her house. All of a sudden, her heart was overwhelmed with unease. She grabbed her bag, wanting to bring her phone out to call Mu Qing.

The mocking smile on Mu Chen’s face vanished in just a blink of an eye. “Ask him where he is now. I’ll help you verify if he’s lying. Both of you have been together for more than 20 years, and it hasn’t been easy. Since your love is so strong, why don’t you boldly test his loyalty? You’ll be able to see if your sacrifices all these years are worth it…”

Following that, Mu Chen looked out the window as though he did not care if Liang Zhou made the call or not.

Liang Zhou’s palms were sweaty as she held her phone. After a while, she gritted her teeth and dialed a string of numbers. When the call connected, she asked gently, “Hey, it’s me. Where are you now?”

Mu Qing answered smoothly, “I’m having tea with a friend at a teahouse on Shifu Road. I’ll be back later. You don’t have to wait for me to have dinner. Your stomach is weak so you must remember to eat, okay?”

Liang Zhou nodded to herself. A trace of sweetness welled up in her heart, dispelling the unease. She said happily, “Alright, I understand. It’s so late now so don’t drink too much tea in case it affects your sleep at night.”

“Alright,” Mu Qing replied gently.

After the call ended, Liang Zhou looked at Mu Chen. Her expression clearly said, ‘Did you hear that? We’re clearly in love.’

Mu Chen did not see anything. His eyes were still fixed outside of the car window.

Liang Zhou did not know what to say and decided to stop protesting. Since she was already here, she might as well see what Mu Chen was up to. She could also shut his mouth completely after this.. She knew he was incredibly stubborn since he was young.
