Hearing Jiang Jingyu say this, Ge'er's first reaction was: he was in trouble, and it was unforgivable trouble.
Otherwise, with Tong An'an's gentle personality, how could she have gotten so angry?
Unable to bear it, she spoke up for her sister-in-law: "Jiang Jingyu, you're too much of a scumbag! Tong An'an just gave birth to your child and is out of confinement. Although her figure might be a bit off, it's your doing. You can't just discard her once you're done, can you?"
"What bad thing did you do? It's not too late yet, maybe there's still a chance to fix it. Come clean quickly!"
Jiang Jingyu was a bit stunned.
He didn't expect to be seen that way by her.
But he couldn't argue with her at the moment.
"It's not what you think. It's hard to explain over the phone. Come over, and I'll tell you."
On the phone, Tong An'an was still roaring. Ge'er dared not delay. She immediately got up, washed up, and without even applying makeup, sped to his house.
The door opened, and the atmosphere inside was heavy.
The child was nowhere to be seen. The husband sat on the sofa, and the wife stood by the window. Tong An'an was crying rivers of tears, her eyes swollen.
"What's wrong, sister-in-law? What happened? Where's the child?"
"You two shouting so loudly, aren't you afraid of waking the child? It's early in the morning, can't you talk things through properly?"
Tong An'an's acting skills were on par with a film empress. She pointed at Jiang Jingyu, her emotions running high.
"What else is there to say? He's cheated on me, so what else can I say to him? No one is stopping me today, I'm divorcing him! I'm taking the child and leaving! I can't live like this anymore. I never thought he was this kind of person!"
"Ah?"
Zhan Jingge was startled.
Although she had imagined Jiang Jingyu cheating just now, she hadn't expected it to actually happen.
The Zhan family did not allow such things to happen. If Zhan Beijue found out, wouldn't he skin him alive?
"It can't be, are you sure? Could it be a misunderstanding?"
"Brother, hurry and come explain things clearly to sister-in-law!"
Jiang Jingyu turned around, with an expression that was both annoyed and amused.
"How can I explain it clearly? I cheated on her in her dream, in her dream! If you want to condemn someone, why worry about a pretext? How am I supposed to explain this to her?"
Zhan Jingge almost fell to the ground.
So, this was all about it after all this fuss.
"You dreamt he cheated on you?"
Tong An'an said righteously, "Yes, I dreamt he cheated on me. But don't think you're in the clear just because I didn't catch you red-handed!"
"Why would I dream of him cheating? Isn't this a psychological suggestion? Don't people say that what you think about during the day will appear in your dreams at night. It must be that he did something to betray me, which made me insecure and think of these things!"
"And the most hateful thing, do you know what it is? I saw exactly what that woman looked like in my dream, and I even remember her name!"
"Tang Wanrou, do you know her? Listen to the name, it sounds like someone who can charm men!"
"Jiang Jingyu, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Seeing those seductive vixens, you forget who you are!"
Uh...
Ge'er had only heard of girlfriends getting angry with their boyfriends because of dreams about cheating before.
She thought it was just a joke, but she didn't expect it to happen to her brother and sister-in-law today.
Do women become unreasonable after dating for a long time?
Tong An'an used to be so gentle and dignified!
Perhaps it was because she had just given birth, her hormone levels hadn't recovered, and Jiang Jingyu was busy, making her insecure.
Ge'er could only comfort her, "It's impossible, sister-in-law, my brother isn't that kind of person."
"Apart from you and that deceased person, I've never seen him pay attention to any other woman. What Tang Wanrou, just hearing the name sounds tacky and superficial, how can she compare to you? Don't overthink things."
"With me here, with Daddy and Mommy, and Tiantian and Big Brother, we all have your back. He would never dare to do such a thing."
Tong An'an looked at her, then at Jiang Jingyu, pointing at him and continuing to argue.
"Listen, listen, hear what your sister is saying, and how you are talking to me."
"If your attitude was even half as good as hers, would I be arguing with you? You have no patience for me now, no love, right? You call me unreasonable at the slightest disagreement."
"We've only just started, and you're already like this with me. I don't think we can go on like this!"
Jiang Jingyu pretended to be helpless and could only walk to Tong An'an and squat down.
"Okay, okay, my dear wife, I was wrong. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have put all my focus on work."
"You just gave birth, you're insecure, I should spend more time with you. How about this: from today onwards, I'll put my work aside. If I can avoid overtime, I won't. I'll try to come back early every day to be with you."
Tong An'an was not budging: "No. You say this every day before you leave for work, but as soon as you get to the office and see beautiful women, you don't want to come back. Who knows if your promise today is true or false."
Jiang Jingyu was almost begging to swear: "It's absolutely true. Ge'er is here as my witness. No, you complain to Daddy and Mommy, let them spank me."
"I'll go to the company today to handle some things, and let Ge'er accompany you for now. Starting tomorrow, I will be by your side without leaving."
Only then did Tong An'an relent.
The two kissed, and Jiang Jingyu got up to go to work.
Before leaving, he pulled Ge'er aside.
"Ever since you were pregnant, you've been acting up. I haven't had the chance to tell you, but women's hormonal imbalances are terrifying."
"You've worked hard for a day. Stay at home and coax her well for me. I don't want to continue arguing when I get back tonight."
Seeing how pathetic he looked, Ge'er could only agree.
After he left, she sat on the sofa chatting with Tong An'an, comforting her with all her might, and then encouraging her to eat something delicious to lift her spirits.
The two ordered a table full of takeout. After eating and drinking at home, the baby woke up.
After feeding the baby and changing its diaper, Ge'er suggested going out for a walk with Tong An'an.
The two, with the baby and stroller, first went to the park. After a stroll and breathing in the fresh air, Tong An'an's mood improved greatly. Then they went shopping and got their nails done.
After all this, it was lunchtime again.
They picked an internet-famous restaurant to eat. Tong An'an was dressed up beautifully, her mood was excellent, and she pulled Ge'er to take photos and post on WeChat Moments.
Normally, she only posted once in a blue moon, so Ge'er felt honored to appear on her WeChat Moments.
The two beautiful women together quickly attracted likes and comments. Tong An'an's vanity was satisfied, and only then did she willingly go home.
In short, trying to please someone's mood is exhausting.
Ge'er was nearly dead tired after accompanying Tong An'an all day.
Finally, when Jiang Jingyu returned from work, they had a hasty dinner, and she escaped back to her own home.
When she opened her phone, she saw that Shang Jincheng had sent her a WeChat message at four in the afternoon.
He was asking if she still wanted to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau today.
At this hour, what else was there to go for?
Ge'er replied to him: "No time today, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Tomorrow morning at eight, don't be late."
Then she threw her phone away.
