He was looking at the photos and didn't notice Ding Qiunan walking in leisurely.
By the time he realized his wife had arrived, the photos in his hand had already been seen by someone else.
"Whose photo are we looking at?"
Oh no, how am I supposed to explain this now?
"Well……"
Ding Qiunan immediately noticed that her husband's expression was somewhat unnatural, so she went directly behind the desk and snatched the photo away.
Alright, better to die than to die myself. He dares not take the blame for this; it could really lead to someone's death.
"Honey, don't get agitated. Sit down and let me explain slowly. This matter may be very different from what you think."
"Okay, I'll wait for a reasonable explanation from you." Ding Qiunan raised the photo in her hand.
Looking at her ashen face, Li Chu suddenly felt a pain in his liver.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Ding Qiunan said with a sneer, "What? Didn't you think of a lie beforehand and have to make one up on the spot? Do you want me to give you some time?"
“It’s not what you think, honey. I swear to God, the two people in the photo have absolutely nothing to do with me. To be precise, I don’t even know their names.”
Li Chu stood up, walked over and closed the office door, then knelt down in front of his wife.
Ding Qiunan looked down at her husband who was squatting in front of her, took a deep breath and said, "I believe what you said. We've been married for over twenty years, and I still trust you to some extent. But you have to give me a reasonable explanation."
Since you say you don't know them, then why do you have this photo, especially since it looks like it was taken secretly?
Seeing that he was about to speak, Ding Qiunan reached out and covered his mouth again, and continued, "Don't tell me anything about being a spy or anything like that, I won't believe it."
Li Chu reached out and grabbed her hand that was covering her mouth, kissed her palm, and then pulled it down.
"Sigh, I will definitely explain it to you clearly, but you must stay calm after you hear it and not act impulsively."
"Don't worry, I'm very calm right now."
"Yeah, right," Li Chu thought to himself.
"This is what happened..."
Just as he expected, if he hadn't grabbed her hand beforehand, she probably would have jumped up by now.
"Are you telling the truth?" Ding Qiunan stared intently at her man, gritting her teeth as she asked.
"Calm down, honey, calm down! Whether you're angry or agitated now, it won't change anything. What's done is done, and it's been resolved satisfactorily. He has already realized his mistake."
"Huff...huff..." Perhaps Li Chu's words had an effect, Ding Qiunan sat in the chair and took a few deep breaths.
Watching his wife's chest rise and fall, he suddenly worried that the buttons on her clothes might pop off.
Just as he thought of this, he quickly banished the idea from his mind. What kind of nonsense was he thinking about at a time like this?
After a while, Ding Qiunan finally calmed down.
Why didn't you tell me that day?
"I'm just thinking about helping Jianguo resolve this matter as soon as possible. I'm worried about what will happen if my parents find out and get angry. I'm also worried about Xiaona finding out; that would really cause chaos."
"That brat, I'll skin him alive when I get back."
Seeing his wife say those words so calmly, Li Chu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
“Honey, no matter what mistakes Jianguo made, I think it’s great that he can admit his mistakes and correct them. Besides, when you go back and deal with him, Mom, Dad, and Xiaona will ask you why. What are you going to tell them?”
Ding Qiunan, who had been tense all along, suddenly slumped back in her chair as if deflated, muttering, "How did I end up with such a scoundrel of a brother? Has he had too many good days or what?"
He was frequently away on business trips back then, and whenever Xiaona got off work, she would wholeheartedly take care of her parents and son, keeping him perfectly organized inside and out. What more did he want? Was this something a human being would do?
"Sigh~" Li Chu also sighed.
Ding Jianguo's wife is definitely a typical example of a virtuous wife and loving mother in China. She works hard without complaint, not only working to earn money, but also never resting when she gets home, diligently contributing to the family.
She doesn't talk much, but she smiles at everyone she meets, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
Ding Jianguo should really thank his God for marrying such a wife.
"That's not right," Ding Qiunan seemed to realize something. She straightened up and looked at her man: "Didn't you say everything was resolved? Then why did you have someone take pictures of that woman?"
"I really didn't have someone take this photo," Li Chu explained again, revealing the origin of the photo.
"They look familiar?" Upon hearing her husband's words, Ding Qiunan picked up the photos and examined them carefully again.
The moment she saw the photo, her mind went blank; she didn't even look at it closely.
"This...this man looks like Yi Ping'an!"
"Who?" Li Chu looked at his wife blankly. What was going on? How did she know him? Who was this?
"Yi Ping An"
Seeing that her husband still hadn't reacted, Ding Qiunan pursed her lips and said, "There's an old man in that courtyard over there."
"What? You're saying this is Yi Ping'an from Uncle Yi's family?" This really surprised him.
Li Chu took the photo and looked at it again. No wonder the man looked familiar to him earlier. Now that he knew who it was, he had to admit that the profile really did resemble that old man.
He hadn't been there for a long time. He had hardly seen Yi Ping'an since he grew up. Although he used to hold him often when he was little, the child had changed a lot as he grew up.
"Hey, isn't this guy married?"
"I don't think so, I've never heard of it," Ding Qiunan said, shaking her head.
"How did he end up with a widow? This doesn't seem like an ordinary relationship."
"How would I know? I saw the photos with you. Li Chu, let me tell you, I'm going to teach Ding Jianguo a lesson tonight no matter what. You're not allowed to stop me, or I won't be able to vent my anger."
Li Chu nodded with a wry smile: "I can let you not stop me, but you absolutely mustn't make a big fuss about it. Keep it quiet, or we won't be able to bear the consequences."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Sigh, brother-in-law, you'd better pray for yourself. It was your brother-in-law who messed things up.
"Should we tell the older folks about this?" Ding Qiunan asked, pointing to the photos.
"Let's not do it. Maybe they're truly in love. If you say that, you're just breaking them up."
Mandarin ducks? They must be wild!
Ding Qiunan glared at her husband speechlessly, but she knew that her husband disapproved of some of the old man's later ways of doing things, so she didn't intend to say anything more. The stage had already been set up, so she could just watch in peace.
