Chapter 42 The Female Supporting Character's Mother - The Showdown

For the next ten days, Yao Yao moved back to her own home, citing missing her parents, to avoid being alone with Zhao Kang. She also gave the nanny a short break, which Zhao Kang didn't object to; he simply assumed his wife missed her parents.

Yao Yao didn't tell her parents about this beforehand and acted as usual.

I met Flying Eagle again at the same coffee shop as last time.

Yao Yao secretly congratulated herself on finding the right person. Fei Ying brought a stack of photos, a USB drive, and various information she wanted written on a piece of paper.

After getting what she wanted, Yaoyao readily paid the balance and left with the items.

Back home, Yao Yao began to examine the items more closely. The photos were very well taken; many looked like casual snapshots of everyday life. It wouldn't be hard to mistake them for accidental shots taken by chance.

Flying Eagle thoughtfully marked the date the photo was taken on the back.

The information on the paper included Zhao Kang's and his lover's addresses, as well as detailed information about the lover's identity and past. Yao Yao then realized that this lover had two identities: not only was she Zhao Kang's old classmate, but she was also the company's secretary.

So it turned out that Zhao Kang's claim that his secretary was on maternity leave was true, but he didn't say the child was his! Yao Yao chuckled coldly twice, inwardly cursing Zhao Kang as a scumbag.

The USB drive contained electronic copies of conversations and photos between Fei Ying and the security guards and neighbors in the apartment complex where Zhao Kang was staying. As expected, Zhao Kang remained cautious and only told others that the two were relatives, leaving no loopholes.

Yaoyao didn't dwell on it. After transferring the photos from the USB drive to her phone, she took a taxi directly to Xinyuan Community. Feiying said that around 5 o'clock, Zhao Kang usually accompanied Xu Wan downstairs for a walk and exercise.

It really is true love. He still has time to take walks with her every day. Since she got pregnant, Zhao Kangke has basically not cared about her situation.

Yao Yao's timing was perfect. She strolled leisurely through the neighborhood, not deliberately going to Xu Wan's building, as that would seem too obvious. The neighborhood wasn't big anyway, and Yao Yao was confident that they would run into each other if they went for a walk.

As she was about to walk around the neighborhood, Yaoyao finally saw that familiar figure from behind.

Zhao Kang carefully supported the woman beside him, chatting and laughing. Even from their backs, it was clear that the two had a very good relationship. Anyone with eyes could see that they were relatives!

"Zhao Kang." A cold yet familiar voice came from behind. Zhao Kang's body stiffened, and he stood there motionless. Xu Wan noticed the abnormality of the person next to her, and combined with the shout she heard, she knew that she could not hide it any longer. She just didn't know what the pampered and naive young lady would do.

The people in front remained motionless, and Yao Yao also held her ground, wanting to see what kind of crazy moves would come up.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment. People passed by one after another, but the three of them remained motionless for a long time.

Yao Yao wasn't in a hurry; she just waited leisurely for the two people in front of her to react.

Zhao Kang's brain was racing, racking his brains to figure out how to end this.

After waiting for a long time, and when Yao Yao was getting impatient, Zhao Kang helped Xu Wan slowly turn around, his face showing shame. He knew that the situation had been completely exposed. Since Shu Yao could find this place, she must know everything. He just didn't know how she knew, but that was meaningless now.

Zhao Kang: "Yaoyao, I'm sorry, I... let's get a divorce."

Ha! Yao Yao regretted not speaking first. That bastard shut her down with his very first sentence: What right does someone who cheats have to bring up divorce first! She clearly wanted to speak first!

Yao Yao concealed her anger and said to the two people in front of her with a half-smile, "Oh, what did you say? You want a divorce? So you knew you were married? The lady next to you doesn't seem surprised at all. It seems she knew you were married all along. Knowing you were married, she still stayed with you. A mistress who knew all along? Impressive! Of course, the real culprit is you, you scumbag!"

Xu Wan's face was unusually ugly. She did not expect that this young lady would be so calm and composed, and instead of rushing forward to hit her like a crazy woman, she would calmly mock her.

Zhao Kang's expression turned sour upon hearing Yao Yao's sarcasm. In the past, Shu Yao had always been gentle and considerate in front of him, and had never said anything unpleasant. This was the first time he had ever seen Shu Yao angry.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Zhao Kang didn't defend himself. He just said, "Yaoyao, it's all my fault. It has nothing to do with Wanwan. If you have any complaints, take them out on me."

Seeing the man who had once been gentle and caring towards her now standing right in front of her, fiercely defending another woman, was incredibly ironic. Yao Yao's expression grew even colder; she felt only sorrow for the original owner of this body.

Yao Yao didn't say anything, so Zhao Kang continued in a consultative tone, "Yao Yao, let me take you home first, and we can talk in detail when we get back, okay?"

Yaoyao: "First, from this moment on, don't call me Yaoyao anymore, you don't deserve it. Second, you don't need to take me. I saw a coffee shop outside the community, let's go there to talk, and have this lady come along too, um... to be a witness."

Zhao Kang hesitated, after all, Xu Wan was already more than seven months pregnant, and was about to speak: "But..."

Xu Wan raised her hand and grasped Zhao Kang's hand, readily agreeing, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Seeing the loving couple before her, Yao Yao felt utterly disgusted. The cheating scumbag and his mistress had been turned into a picture of perfect harmony. She regretted coming alone! What a mistake!

The main problem is that Yao Yao is a bit impatient. As long as this marriage is a de facto relationship, she will feel uncomfortable. She doesn't want things to be like in the TV dramas, where the wife brings a large group of people to attack the mistress. If something goes wrong and the child is dropped and miscarried, she will have to bear legal responsibility. It's not worth it!

Inside the coffee shop, Yao Yao sat alone on one side, while the other two sat on the other side.

Yao Yao took the initiative this time: "We're getting a divorce. I'll keep the child, and I'll have custody. Don't worry, I'm keeping the child not because of you, nor to use the child to have any further entanglement with you. As for child support, you can pay if you have a conscience, or you can not. The only joint property we own after marriage is the company and the house. The house is mine, and you can move out yourself. The company is yours; I don't want it."

Before Zhao Kang could speak, Xu Wan was already displeased. She knew very well the state of their marriage; how could she not want the house! Besides, the company was established before the marriage, involving her own interests. She couldn't wait any longer and spoke directly: "Ms. Shu, the house was jointly funded by both of us. How can you have it all? Furthermore, the company is premarital property, so it can't be considered marital property, right?"

Yao Yao replied sarcastically, "This lady seems to understand very well. Whether to give it or not, whether it counts or not, is not up to you. I'm talking to Zhao Kang, not to you. Finally, seeing how knowledgeable you are, I'd like to ask you, does Zhao Kang's behavior constitute bigamy?"
