When Lin Wanxing arrived at the Chen family's house, the scene was somewhat different from before. The villa's gate had been splashed with paint, and there was a line of crooked, blood-red characters that read: "The adulterous couple and their illegitimate daughter get out of Jiangcheng."
There were chrysanthemums and incense placed at the entrance. Lin Wanxing frowned as he looked at the Chen family's gate. He couldn't help but sigh that in less than a month, the Chen family had gone from a prestigious family to this state.
Chen Xueping's actions have sparked public outrage, with many people online calling her a bully and demanding an apology. Even her former high school has been affected.
Lin Wanxing got out of the car and looked around carefully next to Shen Huai'an. The villa was overgrown with weeds, with piles of dead leaves underfoot, and the garden was also messy, as if no one had taken care of the courtyard for a long time.
Lin Wanxing held Shen Huai'an's hand and walked inside step by step. He hadn't seen a single servant in all this time, and the nanny and housekeeper from before were all gone.
Lin Wanxing walked into the villa. Xu Feng, dressed in a loose black dress, was curled up on the sofa watching TV. She looked somewhat haggard and was completely different from the wealthy lady she used to be.
"Auntie, are you alright?"
Hearing someone call her name, Xu Feng casually lifted her eyelids and said, "Wanxing, what brings you here?"
Lin Wanxing carefully examined Xu Feng. Xu Feng had changed quite a bit. Her small face had become rounder. She wasn't wearing any makeup, not even lipstick. Xu Feng used to love looking good, so what happened to her?
"Auntie, I've come to see you today because I need to talk to you about something."
"What's wrong?" Xu Feng protected her stomach with one hand, afraid that something might happen to her, so she was very careful in everything she did.
"Just say what you want to say." Xu Feng was too lazy to beat around the bush with Lin Wanxing. She didn't want to see this idiot at all. Her baby couldn't be affected by him.
“I want my mother’s necklace back. It was a wedding gift that my grandfather gave to my mother when she got married.”
Xu Feng gently stroked her belly. She had wondered what Lin Wanxing had come for, but it turned out he wanted that stupid woman's necklace. That kind of diamond necklace was worth a lot of money; she could easily sell it and live on it for a while. How could she possibly hand it over?
"Wanxing, I didn't see any necklace. Are you sure you're not mistaken? If there really was a necklace, would I hide it?"
Lin Wanxing was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it. He wanted nothing more than to grab Xu Feng by the neck and ask her where she had hidden the necklace.
How can anyone be so shameless?
Shen Huai'an had anticipated that Xu Feng would deny it. "Madam Chen, I think you should think about this matter carefully."
"Did you forget where you put it?"
Xu Feng vehemently denied it, "No, how could I forget?"
The answer was so straightforward, requiring no further thought, that Lin Wanxing was so angry she almost vomited blood.
Lin Wanxing searched everywhere but found that Chen Xueping and Chen Shuhua were not at home. Where had they gone?
"Auntie, where's my dad?"
His sudden question about Chen Shuhua shocked Xu Feng. Xu Feng touched her lower abdomen, her eyes a little nervous, "Your father went out."
The place has become so quiet and deserted that it's quite unsettling.
They themselves rely on selling various items to make a living, so why would they easily hand over a necklace worth millions?
Lin Wanxing was a little discouraged, as she couldn't get the necklace back for the time being.
Shen Huai'an patted his shoulder, "Mrs. Chen, you'd better hand over Xingxing's mother's necklace, or I'll call the police. You're appropriating someone else's property."
"Call the police then, do you think I'm afraid of you? I've never even seen that necklace before. You say I took it, so that means I took it?" Xu Feng sat on the sofa with a disdainful look. Calling the police had no effect on her at all.
Shen Huai'an wasn't afraid of people like her. He smiled, took out his phone, and was about to call the police.
"Alright then, let's let the police handle this. That necklace is quite valuable, Mrs. Chen, you should be prepared to be detained."
Hearing him say that, Xu Feng glanced at her stomach and began to hesitate.
"If you leave a criminal record, things will get complicated for you, and your child will also be affected. Mrs. Chen, you really are quite stubborn."
Shen Huai'an had already dialed the number and was about to put the phone to his ear when Xu Feng suddenly stood up and snatched the phone away. She raised the phone to smash it down.
Shen Huai'an grabbed her wrist: "You're pregnant, why are you still so angry? Be careful..."
"Shen Huai'an, what are you doing?" Xu Feng glared fiercely at Shen Huai'an with her narrow eyes.
“Damaging other people’s property is also a crime punishable by detention. I’m just trying to help you, Mrs. Chen.” Shen Huai’an smiled and snatched the phone from her hand.
"Auntie, please give me back my mom's necklace. I have nothing left anyway." Lin Wanxing was almost in tears. This Xu Feng was really annoying, greedy and hypocritical.
Lin Wanxing had never met someone like Xu Feng before.
"It's just a broken necklace, let me look for it." Xu Feng finally gave in.
The reason Chen Shuhua was not at home was that he was hospitalized. Last time, Shen Huai'an deliberately brought up Xu Feng's problem in front of Chen Shuhua. Since then, Chen Shuhua has begun to suspect Xu Feng and has started to observe Xu Feng intentionally or unintentionally.
It wasn't until Xu Feng became pregnant that he noticed her unusual condition while he was still basking in the joy.
He secretly looked at Xu Feng's phone and discovered that Xu Feng was actually dating other men behind his back. But that wasn't the trigger. The real trigger was the paternity test.
It was a paternity test between him and Chen Xueping, and the results showed that he and Chen Xueping were not related by blood.
Chen Shuhua never expected that Xu Feng, who had always been gentle and virtuous in front of him, would be cheating on him behind his back, and that even the daughter he had raised for more than 20 years was someone else's.
Shen Huai'an was right. If Xu Feng could be his lover, she could be someone else's lover too.
The moment the paternity test results came back, Chen Shuhua's world collapsed, and he fainted from anger.
