Ye Zhenghua was carrying the things he had looted from Liu Mingxuan's house, with more than two hundred yuan of Liu Mingxuan's money in his bag, and he was feeling very pleased with himself.
This trip wasn't too bad.
He praised Meng Xueyun, "Xiaohan is becoming more and more shrewd. She knows how to bring things home now, unlike before when she was practically giving away free stuff and bringing all sorts of things to Liu Mingxuan's house!"
Meng Xueyun looked at Meng Zihan and nodded repeatedly: "That's right! Once bitten, twice shy. This child has finally learned his lesson!"
After saying that, she took Meng Zihan's hand and walked home happily.
I gave Liu Mingxuan a good beating today, and it really vented my anger.
Ye Zhenghua followed them around, feeling that everything was fine.
Huang Qiaoling's matter was resolved, Meng Xueyun was appeased, and he still had a few hundred yuan in his pocket.
He was no longer the worried man he was yesterday, completely unaware of the impending crisis.
He strode home with a proud and arrogant air, humming a tuneless little melody.
Seeing the door wide open, he shook the key in his hand and said strangely, "What are Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei doing? It's so cold, why didn't they lock the door..."
Before he could finish speaking, the smile on his face froze instantly, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him, and he stood frozen in place.
On the living room sofa, Huang Qiaoling held her daughter, sitting upright with her back straight, like the lady of the house.
Her gaze was icy, fixed directly on Ye Zhenghua.
Ye Linnan and Ye Linbei sat properly at the dining table next to them.
The two huddled together, their eyes occasionally glancing at Huang Qiaoling on the sofa before quickly looking away.
They've been sidelined.
Upon seeing Ye Zhenghua, Ye Linbei stood up first: "Dad, someone is looking for you."
Ye Zhenghua stared at Huang Qiaoling without saying a word.
Huang Qiaoling felt a surge of hatred as she looked at Ye Zhenghua's smug expression.
She was enjoying the Chinese New Year at home when Ye Zhenghua inexplicably came over, berated her, shoved her to the ground, and then ran away.
It made me have to go to the hospital to get my wound bandaged during the Chinese New Year!
The culprit, on the other hand, actually had the mood to hum a little tune!
Huang Qiaoling was filled with anger, but she didn't show it on her face. She still sat upright with her head held high.
She smiled and said, "Brother Ye is such a busy man. He didn't even take a break during the New Year. He's only just gotten back now, and I've been waiting for him for ages."
Ye Zhenghua was stunned for a long time before he found his voice.
"You... how did you get here? Didn't I explain it to you clearly?"
Upon seeing this, Meng Xueyun immediately became alert.
She walked up to Ye Zhenghua, her gaze sweeping over Huang Qiaoling, and asked in an unfriendly tone, "Old Ye, what's going on here? Who is she?"
Ye Zhenghua panicked and quickly pushed Meng Xueyun toward the bedroom.
"It's nothing, it's just a small misunderstanding! You go back to your room and rest, I'll handle things here!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Qiaoling stood up abruptly and retorted, "Misunderstanding? Ye Zhenghua, you said you like me and want to spend your life with me, is that a misunderstanding?"
Meng Zihan remained silent, observing everything with a cold eye.
She had known for a long time that Ye Zhenghua was having affairs, and Liu Mingxuan had told her this himself, but she had never met this woman.
Now that she had met Huang Qiaoling in person, Meng Zihan looked her up and down.
She appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and while her looks were only average, she was dressed very smartly.
Wearing a bright red winter coat, he stood out conspicuously indoors.
Her hair was permed to be fluffy, and she even got a trendy curl.
Her face was made up with drawn eyebrows and lipstick, and thick layers of white powder made her lips look especially red.
In Meng Zihan's eyes, this outfit was particularly vulgar.
She secretly despised him.
That's it?
A temporary worker, with a child in tow, and of average appearance, somehow managed to bewitch Ye Zhenghua.
My aunt is so useless, she actually lost to her!
She thought again, since Meng Xueyun was determined not to divorce, she definitely couldn't let Ye Zhenghua have any further dealings with this woman.
Otherwise, if he spends all his money on this woman, how will her family survive?
Thinking of this, Meng Zihan sat down on the sofa without making a sound.
She has to take care of this. No matter what this woman's plans are, she can't let her succeed!
Meng Xueyun was not as calm as Meng Zihan.
She was furious when she heard what Huang Qiaoling said!
She pointed at Ye Zhenghua and roared, "Ye Zhenghua! You bastard! Didn't you say it was all settled? Didn't you say she was just an ordinary colleague? Why is she coming to my door now? Are you treating me like a fool?!"
Ye Zhenghua was sandwiched between two women, his scalp tingling and cold sweat pouring down his face.
Inside the house, the twins were watching him intently, and he felt like an ant on a hot plate, unable to escape no matter what.
He quickly yelled at the twins, "You two, get back to your room right now! We'll settle the score with you later about yesterday!"
Although the twins were reluctant, they obediently went back to their room.
The two closed the door, leaving a crack, and hid by the door to eavesdrop on the sounds outside.
After shooing the twins away, Ye Zhenghua turned to Meng Xueyun with a forced smile.
"Xueyun, listen to me, it's really nothing! She's just making things up! I really don't have those feelings for her!"
When Huang Qiaoling heard Ye Zhenghua still trying to argue, she pointed at herself and asked him a question.
"I'm talking nonsense? Fine, I'll ask you, is it because the kids you mentioned are troublesome and make you upset, and because Meng Xueyun doesn't dress up and is always greasy-haired and overweight at home, and you don't want to be with her anymore? Did I make these things up?"
