Chapter 126 Betrayal is Betrayal



Zhang Yuan was stunned by Lu Zhengde's cryptic words. He looked at Lu Zhengde, who had suddenly become angry, with a hesitant expression. His years of experience in handling cases told him that something was wrong with what Lu Zhengde said.

"I don't know what you mean by that, but I can tell you that after you married Xiaowan, I never went to see Xiaowan again..."

Originally, I thought these words would dispel Lu Zhengde's doubts, but who knew that Lu Zhengde would become even angrier.

His eyes were bloodshot, like a wild beast whose sore spot had been touched.

He stared at Zhang Yuan and roared angrily.

"You didn't go? You're saying you didn't go? Zhang Yuan, do you really think I'm blind? I saw you and Xiao Wan come out of the guesthouse with my own eyes, and you're saying you didn't go to see her?"

"What? What are you talking about?"

Zhang Yuan was completely stunned. When did he and Xiao Wan leave the guesthouse?

But judging from Lu Zhengde's appearance, he doesn't seem to be lying.

Zhang Yuan racked his brains and finally remembered that the only time he had seen Su Xiaowan after her marriage was at the wedding of a mutual friend.

At the wedding, a guest got drunk; it just so happened that the couple were friends of the two of them, a married couple.

So they took the couple to a nearby guesthouse...

So, Lu Zhengde happened to see it that time?

He remembered that at that time, Xiao Wan had just married Lu Zhengde not long ago...

"So..." A terrifying thought popped into Zhang Yuan's mind: "So, you betrayed Xiao Wan because of that incident?"

"What do you mean by 'that incident'? Your newlywed wife cheating on you by walking out of a guesthouse with another man, and you think it's such a trivial matter?"

"When you two were being all lovey-dovey, did you ever consider how I, your legal husband, felt?"

Lu Zhengde's tone was filled with sorrow and anger, emotions that could not be faked.

Zhang Yuan found it all ridiculous and laughable. He felt sorry for Su Xiaowan, but even more sorry for Lu Zhengde.

As a man, as Su Xiaowan's husband, he betrayed his wife based on a misunderstanding...

“Lu Zhengde, I don’t care whether you believe it or not, Xiaowan and I have a completely innocent relationship. There have never been any of the dirty things you’re thinking about. Thinking of Xiaowan like that is not only disrespectful to her, but also an insult to yourself.”

After saying that, Zhang Yuan didn't continue.

Because he knew that whatever he said to Lu Zhengde now would be seen by the other party as him making a sophistry.

Since that's the case, there's no need for him to waste his energy.

Lu Zhengde had his own inner demons, so he assumed that everyone else was like him.

Zhang Yuan scoffed, "Think about it with your own heart. If Xiao Wan really did something to betray you, given her status, wealth, and circumstances, would she still need to force a smile and stay with you?

"Although you are a college student, to Xiao Wan at that time, you were just one of her insignificant suitors."

"She chose you because she truly loved you, but her sincerity was repaid with this kind of treatment..."

Zhang Yuan chuckled coldly, shook his head, and turned to leave the small room.

He treated Lu Zhengde with utmost kindness and righteousness.

After Zhang Yuan left, only Lu Zhengde remained in the room.

He looked at the empty room, his gaze falling on the tightly closed door, and then he plopped back down on the bed.

So what if he's a poor college student? Does being a poor college student give his wife the right to cheat on him? We're all human beings, why should he endure such humiliation?

Just because he's poor?

No family background?

No, he disagreed.

…………

Lu Huaijiao, who was sleeping at home, had no idea what Lu Zhengde was thinking. But even if she did know, it wouldn't affect her at all.

Because betrayal is betrayal. All reasons and justifications are merely excuses for betrayal.

The next day, Lu Huaijiao woke up naturally, got up, and ate breakfast with Gu Changzheng's help.

Sitting at the dinner table, she noticed that the man opposite her had dark circles under his eyes.

She frowned, her tone slightly disdainful.

"Gu Changzheng, what did you do last night?"

Gu Changzheng scoffed.

He looked at the innocent yet heartless woman opposite him with a cold smile.

"Who was it that kept complaining about the heat last night?"

"Huh? Who is it?"

In short, she doesn't remember, so it probably wasn't her, since she was asleep.

Gu Changzheng: ...

I knew this would be the outcome.

This woman, who complained about being hot all night, made him fan her all night, and now she claims she doesn't remember? This is even more infuriating than denying someone after you've done your job.

(Lu Huaijiao: If I may ask, wouldn't you be furious if they turned their backs on you after you'd already done your work? Gu Changzheng: No, you didn't even get a chance to do your work.)

"Lu Huaijiao, look at this! Who pinched me?"

Gu Changzheng stretched out his arm, and Lu Huaijiao saw a few sparse red marks on it that looked like cat scratches. She tilted her head, puzzled.

"You got scratched by a cat?"

"You little wildcat got scratched."

Gu Changzheng suddenly exerted his strength, pulled the person onto his lap, hugged her, and then slowly accused her of her crimes last night.

She kept complaining about the heat, and if she didn't feel any coolness after complaining two or three times, she would start scratching and clawing at the people around her. She wasn't a big girl, but she had a terrible temper.
