Chapter 154 Catching an adulterer: Hongmei, how could you do such a thing
A moment later, Lu Jingchen walked to Xia Qingxi with a sullen face, stood still, lowered his cold eyes, and frowned at Pu Yue.
"She..." Pu Yue paused after uttering a word. In fact, she wanted to say what she heard from Mai Yajun, but she felt that those words were too vulgar and did not fit her usual elegant and dignified image, so she suppressed what she was about to say.
"I didn't realize before that Doctor Pu was so talkative." Lu Jingchen looked at her coldly, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
Being called a "gossip" by the person she secretly loves, Pu Yue's face turned red, and she stood there sadly and awkwardly.
Lu Jingchen did not save her face, and continued:
"Whatever you heard before, it was all rumors." He looked at Pu Yue and said in a serious voice:
"Xia Qingli is my wife who I married in a formal ceremony. I respect her and love her. Insulting her is equivalent to insulting me! In the future, please keep your mouth shut and stop gossiping about other people!"
Under Lu Jingchen's strong aura and cold eyes, Pu Yue lowered her head in embarrassment and could not say a word.
Even a blind man could see that he was so protective of the woman in front of him that he would not tolerate anyone saying anything bad about her. He didn't look like he was forced to marry her. She would believe him if he said he snatched her from his elder brother.
Lu Jingchen didn't look at her again. He raised his hand and took Xia Qingxue's hand. Xia Qingxue knew that he was showing his attitude to Pu Yue, so she shook his hand in cooperation. When turning around, Xia Qingxue couldn't help but glance at Pu Yue and said,
"Doctor Pu, you should focus more on your own medical field in the future and pay less attention to other people's couples' affairs."
After saying that, he didn't look at her again and walked out of the balcony with Lu Jingchen.
Looking at Lu Jingchen in front of her, Xia Qingxu couldn't help but feel touched. His hands were warm and dry, so big, so powerful, and just like him, they gave her a sense of security.
It was getting late, and after entering the house, Lu Jingchen said goodbye to Principal Guo and the others, and took Xia Qingxu back on a bicycle.
Before leaving, Professor Guo couldn't help but tell Xia Qingxu that if she was free, she could always come to him to learn painting, and asked her not to give up painting and bury her talent.
On the way back, Xia Qingxu sat in the back seat of the car, raised her hand and looked at her watch, it was half past two, if everything went well with Yao Hongmei, they would be home soon, and the good show would start.
Lu, who was riding a bicycle in front, was shocked and frowned, and he didn't say anything. In the past few years, whether in school or in the army, because of his outstanding ability, teachers, classmates, superiors, comrades, subordinates... everyone liked him and respected him. It can be said that he had never suffered any contempt or verbal attacks.
But today, the attitude of the master's wife towards him made him deeply realize and empathize with how wronged Xia Qingxi was in the past few years of verbal insults and unfair treatment.
In addition, what Pu Yue just said to Xia Qingxi made him more determined to hand in the "report letter". No matter what the public said about him, he could not let others misunderstand her and humiliate her.

In the morning, Wang Mingfang took Yingying for a stroll, and at noon they went to Lu Lidong's state-owned hotel for lunch. After lunch, the mother and son bought a watermelon at the fruit shop outside the courtyard alley, and ate while waiting for He Shanshan to join them.
They had agreed in advance that after He Shanshan put the two of them to bed, she would come to pick them up, and then they would go home together to "catch the adulterer."
But when it was 1:30 in the afternoon, He Shanshan still hadn't come out. Lu Lidong was a little impatient and said to Wang Mingfang in a low voice:
"Mom, nothing will go wrong, right?"
"What can go wrong?" Wang Mingfang was not in a hurry. Although He Shanshan had a bit of an impatient temper, she was not stupid. She had arranged everything so carefully, and as long as she acted according to the plan, there was no way she would fail.
"I think the drug was given too late. Let's wait a little longer. If she doesn't come out in half an hour, we'll go back and check." Wang Mingfang said, picking up a piece of watermelon and eating it slowly.
Another half an hour passed, and He Shanshan still didn't come. Wang Mingfang frowned unconsciously. For the sake of safety, she asked Lu Lidong to take Yingying to wait here, and she went home first.
She returned home quietly, and as soon as she walked in, she heard the sounds of men and women having fun behind the curtain in the living room.
It seemed that Shanshan had done the job. Wang Mingfang didn't go in to disturb the two of them, but turned and walked out of the house.
Although she didn't know why her daughter He Shanshan didn't come out to meet them, time was running out, and she had to take the witness to catch the adulterer immediately.
Without caring about where her daughter was, Wang Mingfang first went to the fruit shop to call Lu Lidong, then returned to the yard and called Auntie Wu who lived at the entrance of the yard. She had told her yesterday that some things could not be moved and would be given to her.
Giving things to Auntie Wu was naturally an excuse, and the main purpose was to take her to be a witness and uncover the "affair" between Yao Hongmei and Liao Qiang.
The reason why she was taken alone, instead of taking a group of people like when Lu Jingqi and Xia Qingliu were arrested, was because if they wanted to control Liao Qiang, they couldn't make a big fuss. If the matter was a big fuss and Liao Qiang was arrested, who would help He Shanshan enter the textile factory?
As for why Aunt Wu was chosen, it was naturally because she was soft-hearted and kind-hearted. When Yao Hongmei was caught having an affair with someone, Wang Mingfang would stand up and act as a good mother-in-law, asking Aunt Wu not to tell anyone, to save Yao Hongmei's face, and to let her go. Aunt Wu's character would not disagree.
In this way, Yao Hongmei would naturally take the initiative to divorce Lu Lidong after doing something shameful, and she would not dare to go out and talk nonsense. At the same time, they could use this matter to threaten Liao Qiang, and He Shanshan's job would be stable.
It must be said that Wang Mingfang's plan was a bit vicious, but every step was indeed calculated. If Xia Qingqing hadn't reminded her in advance, it would be difficult for Yao Hongmei to avoid his tricks.
Soon, Wang Mingfang and his three companions walked into the yard with their children.
When Wang Mingfang opened the door, she heard an obscene and ambiguous sound coming from behind the curtain in the living room.
People who have been here know how those sounds are made.
The person behind the curtain seemed to have no sense of shame at all, and was still shouting hard. The obscene sound was simply challenging people's eardrums.
Lu Lidong's face turned pale. He heard with his own ears that Yao Hongmei and Liao Qiang really did it. He still felt a little uncomfortable. Although he had decided to divorce Yao Hongmei, out of a man's possessiveness, he didn't want a woman he didn't want to have sex with other men.
Wang Mingfang on the side curled her lips. If the two of them really did it, it would be more real and convincing in front of others.
The most embarrassed and surprised among the three people was Wu's wife. She never thought that she would encounter such a thing when she came to Lu's house to get something. She stood there at a loss, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
At this time, Wang Mingfang began to act out her acting skills. She looked heartbroken and shouted loudly:
"Shame on you, shame on you. What sin did our Lidong commit? Why do we always encounter such things?" Then she walked over impatiently, pulled open the curtain, and without even looking at anyone, she shouted:
"Hongmei, we are so good to you, how can you do such a thing..."
