Just as the man's hand was about to fall, Jiang Li took two steps back in the direction of Lu Shiyan.
At the same time, she grabbed Lu Shiyan's hand, who wanted to teach that man a lesson for her, and shook her head at him with a smile.
Five meters away from the man, Jiang Li's face turned completely cold. She stared at the man and said, "When a normal person is slandered, they will only think about how to prove their innocence, instead of talking nonsense here and trying to lecture me."
"Are you suggesting I just let you spout nonsense?" The man, having failed to deliver his message, was furious, his eyes red with rage.
"Then..." Jiang Li's lips curved into a smile again, "Do you dare to let your wife check your phone?"
The man's expression froze, then he said stiffly, "My wife doesn't like checking these things. You're making her do something she doesn't like. Isn't that putting her in a difficult position?"
"From what you're saying..." Jiang Li calmly concluded, "you don't dare to."
"I……"
“If you had nothing to hide, you would have handed over your phone immediately. Why would you be saying all this nonsense?” Jiang Li finished speaking and then turned to the woman next to her. “Do you want to check?”
The woman held out her hand to the man, "Honey, give me your phone."
"You..." The man looked incredulous. "We've been married for so many years, and you'd rather believe this little brat than believe me?"
"Honey, I'm only doing this to clear your name and exonerate you." The woman remained unmoved, appearing to be thinking of her husband. "You're my husband, of course I believe you, but if others don't believe you, I need to show them evidence, right?"
"She's just an outsider, why should I prove my innocence to her?" the man said with displeasure. "There's no need, and I have nothing to explain to her anyway."
“You’re right, you don’t have anything to explain to me, but…” Jiang Li slowly flicked her fingers, “you do need to explain to your wife, don’t you?”
The woman understood Jiang Li's words and said, "Anyway, you don't have anything to hide, so just give me your phone. I can also see if you are trustworthy."
The man's hands clenched involuntarily, and then he angrily shouted at the woman, "What do you want to do? Why do you have to cause trouble? Don't you want to live together anymore? Do you want to break up the family?"
"Is it that I don't want to live with you anymore, or that you don't want to live with me anymore?" The woman's face turned cold instantly, and her tone became icy. "It's just looking at my phone, why won't you let me see it? Or is there really something shameful on it?"
"It's just a small problem, why are you being so aggressive? My phone is full of clients. What if you accidentally offend one of them and something goes wrong?" the man said matter-of-factly.
But the way he looked at his wife was as if her request was something she shouldn't have done, something that was particularly difficult for her.
"I'm just looking, I'm not going to message anyone." The man's attitude made the woman's heart grow colder. "Does looking at a chat log really offend someone?"
The man was speechless for a moment, then he said as if he were giving in, "This is our family matter, it's none of the business of outsiders. Tell them to leave, and I'll show you."
Before the woman could speak, Jiang Li asked with amusement, "What? You want her to see us off so you can use that time to delete the evidence later? We're all smart people, can't we stop trying to fool people like this?"
man:"……"
Jiang Li glanced at the woman's expression, then slowly said to the man, "You don't need to feel that we're in your way, and don't rush to get rid of us. We will definitely leave before midnight, but the process might be a bit agonizing for you."
Before he could finish speaking, the man's phone suddenly rang.
The group remained silent, all looking at the man.
In this quiet moment when no one is speaking, the man's cell phone ringing sounds particularly jarring.
The man glanced at the caller ID on his phone, then quickly put it back in his pocket.
Jiang Li scoffed, "Why wouldn't I answer? What if it's a call from a partner? If things go wrong, it could cause the collaboration to fail."
“It’s no important person,” the man replied with a stern face. “It’s a sales call.”
Jiang Li nodded and said nothing more.
The man, however, looked at the woman with a sinister expression. "You just let her run wild in our house? Our home was perfectly fine, and look what you've turned it into!"
The woman looked at the man in disbelief, "You've turned our perfectly good home into a complete mess?"
The woman originally thought she was living a very happy life. Although the relationship between the two of them was very ordinary, wasn't that what life was all about?
Where are there so many surprises and romances?
But……
She never imagined that, overnight, everything she firmly believed in would vanish like a bubble.
Just then, the man's phone rang again.
The man still didn't answer.
Just as it rang for the third time, Jiang Li casually said, "Alright, stop hiding it, answer it. If you don't answer, this call will probably keep going on and on."
The man stubbornly refused to answer, letting the phone ring on and on.
Sudden……
Jiang Li made her move.
She rushed to the man, grabbed his hand with one hand, and took his phone out of his pocket with the other.
Before the man could fully react, she quickly retreated back to Lu Shiyan's side.
Under the man's shocked and angry gaze, Jiang Li slowly clicked to connect.
As soon as the call connected, a woman's voice came from the other end, "What's wrong with you? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"
The woman's voice was filled with frustration and dissatisfaction.
After questioning him, she didn't give anyone else a chance to speak and continued, "You didn't answer the phone just now, was it because that brat was dying? The master said he wouldn't make it through the night, so is he dead now?"
His words left everyone looking shocked.
Even Lu Shiyan hadn't expected this...
Even tigers don't eat their cubs, yet this man actually conspired with his mistress to poison his own son.
The woman was also stunned.
Her eyes blazed with intense hatred; she looked as if she wanted nothing more than to pounce on the man, tear him apart, and drink his blood.
Jiang Li gave Lu Shiyan a wink.
Upon receiving the signal, Lu Shiyan immediately stepped forward to stop the woman and covered her mouth with his hand.
If she shouts out and the woman on the other end of the phone hears her, it will definitely alert the other woman.
Jiang Li watched Lu Shiyan's actions with satisfaction, raised her hand to cover the phone, and said to the man, "If you don't want to make a big fuss, call her over now."
The man remained silent instead of answering.
Jiang Li scoffed, her gaze turning even colder. "Fine, if you won't talk, then I'll call the police right now. If you're honest and upright, you shouldn't be afraid, right?"
As she spoke, Jiang Li gestured for Lu Shiyan to call the police.
The man panicked and stopped Lu Shiyan. His voice was a little hoarse as he spoke into the phone, "The matter has been resolved. Come over."
In the end, the man chose to protect himself.
