Chapter 177: Catching the Mistress
The woman in the lead was tall and strong, dressed simply, with a shrewd look on her face. She walked into the yard with the other three women in a menacing manner.
As soon as they entered the yard, the tall and strong woman pointed at Qu Wanning and said sternly, "That's the bitch!"
Qu Wanning hooked her arm around Jiang Dehai's, her voice lazy and seductive, "Who are you?"
"She is indeed a little devil. No wonder my husband Zhao likes to come here." The tall and strong woman said coldly.
Ye Rou held Jiang Chen's finger, "Jiang Chen, what's going on?"
"Qu Wanning cheated on her husband." Jiang Chen stroked his wife's long hair that was messed up by the wind, but even though he restrained his strength, he still poked Ye Rou's head, causing it to shake.
Ye Rou hugged his restless hands and said, "Don't disturb me while I'm eating the melon."
The little man, the size of a palm, sat in the palm of his hand, holding a finger in each of his two little arms, and watching the battle situation next door carefully through the gaps between his fingers. He looked pitiful and cute.
When Qu Wanning heard the tall and strong woman say her husband's surname was Zhao, her eyes flickered. She pushed Jiang Dehai out and said, "Hurry up and go to work. You're going to be late."
Jiang Dehai frowned slightly.
When the two men reached the door, the tall and strong woman reached out to stop them. She asked Jiang Dehai, "Are you her husband?"
Jiang Dehai didn't answer, but instead asked the tall and strong woman, "Comrade, did you find the wrong person?"
"She's the one I'm looking for. Qu Wanning, the eldest daughter of the Qu family, Commander Qu's youngest daughter." The tall, sturdy woman stared at Qu Wanning with a stern look, her voice remaining calm throughout. "My husband is Commander Qu's bodyguard. Every Monday, he comes to meet her privately under the guise of delivering something for Commander Qu."
Jiang Dehai looked at Qu Wanning, "Is what she said true?"
Qu Wanning had her long hair tangled up. She was forty years old, but her dressing and maintenance made her look exceptionally young. But what was even more attractive was her temperament. Even if she stood there doing nothing, she had an alluring and ambiguous look.
"Just believe what she says."
She has the smoky voice of later generations, her voice can be slowed down, more charming, and her face is calm.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Jiang Dehai looked at the tall and strong woman again and asked coldly, "Do you have any evidence?"
The tall, strong woman wore the most ordinary shirt and trousers, her face was plain, and her hair was combed short below her ears. Facing Qu Wanning's quibbling, she didn't get angry. "Miss Qu was trying to save your face. After all, we are all women. Why should a woman embarrass another woman?"
As she took the paper bag from her friend, she said, "This isn't the first or second time my Lao Zhao has cheated on me. I've caught him so many times over the years that I can't even count them all."
"But Qu Wanning, you are the one I hate the most among these women. You treat my Lao Zhao like a dog. When you feel lonely, just go to him and ask him to pay you to sleep with you. If you don't need him, just kick him away." The tall and strong woman could not hide her anger in her voice when she said this, but she remained calm and handed the paper bag to Jiang Dehai with restraint.
“Here’s the evidence.”
Qu Wanning fiddled with the nail polish she'd asked a friend to bring back from Hong Kong. It had looked good when she was younger, but now that she was older, the pink color made it look a bit ugly. Because of this, she spoke again with a somewhat awkward tone, "What do you want?"
She didn't care about the evidence from the woman's mouth at all, because her trysts with Zhao Guo had always been secret, and no one would actually take pictures of them, unless the pictures were taken while lying on the wall of the next yard.
Ye Rou only regretted that she didn't have X-ray vision and couldn't see what was inside the paper bag. Seeing Jiang Dehai's face darken after looking at the paper bag, she asked curiously, "Jiang Chen, what's inside the paper bag?"
"Wang Honghong took these photos with a director friend of his." Jiang Chen's lips curled up as he added meaningfully, "The scale is quite large, and there's more than one person involved."
While the two were talking, Jiang Dehai had already finished looking at the photos. His stomach was churning, but he suppressed his nausea and returned the paper bag to the tall and strong woman with trembling hands. "This is your business and has nothing to do with me. I'm leaving now."
He didn't even look at Qu Wanning, and turned to leave.
Seeing Jiang Dehai's sudden coldness, Qu Wanning finally panicked.
She held Jiang Dehai's hand and refused to let him leave.
The tall and strong woman added at the right moment, "Miss Qu, you've never been married, and you've always wanted a man to accompany you. You must be very happy like this, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qu Wanning shouted.
"I'm talking nonsense?" The tall and strong woman seemed to have heard something funny. She stepped forward, shook out the paper package, spread out the photos inside and held them in front of Qu Wanning. "Take a good look and see if I'm talking nonsense."
The photos were actually in color and extremely clear. The heroines in all of them were Qu Wanning, while the heroes kept changing. The scenes were in the courtyard, but the poses were different.
In the photo, she was sitting in Zhao Guo's arms, entangled in a passionate kiss. Qu Wanning looked like she was slapped hard by the photo, and her face lost all color. She subconsciously grabbed the photos and wanted to tear them up.
The tall and strong woman dodged her hand and said with a smile, "Miss Qu, I have many more photos like this at home. Oh, and before I left, I specially left a copy for Lao Zhao."
Jiang Dehai suddenly waved Qu Wanning's hand away. He knew that Qu Wanning was playful, but these photos still broke his expectations. He was a conservative and traditional man, and the shock of these photos made his eyes bloodshot. He said in a very cold voice, "Qu Wanning, you'd better take care of yourself."
Qu Wanning looked at Jiang Dehai and saw that his eyes were even colder than the day he knew she was not him. She hurriedly tried to pull him away, stammering, "It's not me, it's..."
"You mean these men, right?" Jiang Dehai continued her words with a cold face. He waved away Qu Wanning's hand and took a step back, saying, "That's it."
He turned to leave, and this time the tall and strong woman did not stop him.
Ye Rou watched Jiang Dehai walk out of the courtyard. "Is it my illusion? I always feel that Jiang Dehai actually hates Qu Wanning."
She noticed something was wrong when the two of them were having dinner just now. Jiang Dehai had been avoiding looking at Qu Wanning, and his sitting position was also turned away from Qu Wanning. Although he was flirting with Qu Wanning, he always gave Ye Rou a faint sense of peace.
"He doesn't love Qu Wanning, he loves the Qu family." Jiang Chen said coldly, "He already knew what kind of woman Qu Wanning was."
"Isn't he afraid of offending the Qu family now?" Ye Rou didn't understand.
In the book, Jiang Dehai was afraid of the power of the Qu family and had always been careful to flatter them. Even when Mr. Qu said that a madman said something, no one would believe him. Jiang Dehai simply sent Jiang Chen to a mental hospital and never took Jiang Chen out of the mental hospital until his death.
"Because of you, wife." Jiang Chen looked down at the little figure in his palm. She was wearing a gaudy coat, and her snow-white feet were stepping on the center of his palm. When she heard his words, she turned her head to look at him. Her fox eyes were unexpectedly round because of her shrinkage, which was so cute that it made people feel itchy.
