"Later, Lou Xiaoyun frequently traveled to Beijing on business to see Lu Jing. At first, she told me she was just discussing cheongsam design, but later I realized something was wrong. The look in her eyes was different when she was facing Lu Jing and when she was facing me!"
Even though he kept saying that he didn't care about Lou Xiaoyun, the loneliness in Yan Lirong's eyes at this moment could not be concealed.
"Do you know that look? When she looked at Lu Jing, her eyes were shining, as if he, Lu Jing, was a star in the sky, for that bitch to worship!"
Yan Lirong almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth, "But she has never looked at me with such eyes before. She only treats me with perfunctory indifference!"
For a moment, I didn’t know who to sympathize with. Yan Lirong’s situation seemed quite miserable.
I continued to ask, "So, from that time on, you began to suspect that Lu Jing and her were having an affair?"
"Yes." Yan Lirong stared at Yan Meng intently and told him the truth in person, "I sent someone to secretly follow your mother. Guess what I found out? The person who was following her took photos of her having an affair with Lu Jing in Beijing!"
Yan Meng's body swayed, his expression shocked and dazed.
I opened my mouth to comfort him, but it seemed like any words would be superfluous at this point.
Even if Lou Xiaoyun had done something wrong, she was still the mother whom Yan Meng would not tolerate anyone violating or insulting.
I doubted Yan Lirong's words and asked coldly, "Since you have solid evidence, have you ever thought about divorcing her? Even if you covet Bai Lu Clothing, you can still take half of her property after the divorce."
Yan Lirong forced a sinister smile and said, "She's been cheating on me for so many years. Why should I let her go so easily? I want her to sink with me!"
"Even though going public with the truth would ruin their reputations, Bailu Clothing would also be affected, and I'd become a laughing stock. At least keeping Lou Xiaoyun by my side would provide me with long-term financial support, so I chose to target Lu Jing."
Yan Lirong raised a hint of pride at the corner of his eyes, and he was still extremely satisfied with his methods.
"Back then, I found Lu Jing with photos of their affair. He was terrified, but I was sincere. I told him I just wanted our family to live a good life and not be torn apart by any external factors. I tried to gauge his reaction, but he had no idea that Yan Meng was his son."
"I suddenly thought of the best way to take revenge on them."
Yan Lirong's smile gradually turned wicked. "I told Lu Jing to do as I said and steal Lou Xiaoyun's design manuscript for the fashion competition. If he doesn't, I will make the photos public. Then his and Lou Xiaoyun's reputation will be ruined, and the Bailu Clothing brand that Lou Xiaoyun worked so hard to build will be ruined."
Yan Meng and I were both shocked. Yan Meng could no longer contain his anger. He shook off my hand and grabbed Yan Lirong's neck. "It was you? It was you who asked Lu Jing to steal the manuscript and kill my mother!"
The feeling of suffocation made Yan Lirong's face turn red, but he was still laughing like crazy, even though veins were bulging on his forehead.
"Yes, I want to watch Lu Jing break Lou Xiaoyun's heart. I am in pain, and they can't be happy either!"
Yan Meng's face was ferocious, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was cruelty in his eyes, as if he really wanted to strangle Yan Lirong to death.
I quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Yan Meng! Calm down! If you strangle him now, you'll be putting yourself in danger too!"
Yan Meng seemed to be in a nightmare and refused to let go.
Seeing Yan Lirong rolling his eyes, I could only yell in Yan Meng's ear: "Think about your mother, she wants you to live well!"
