One sentence, so enraged Lu Qingxu that his hair stood on end, and he rushed into the private room in less than two minutes.
Even though the private room was garish, Zhou Jinbei still saw the scratch on his face at a glance.
"I knew it, you're putting on such a big act today, turns out you've got a scratch on your face."
"What happened? Did you get into a fight after drinking too much, or did you stir up trouble you shouldn't have and get beaten up?"
Lu Qingxu gave her a look that said, 'No one will think you're mute if you don't speak,' and then looked at Jiang Nan Fang.
"Aren't you not supposed to drink right now?"
The injuries on his face were subtle, one on his left cheek and one on his right temple.
Looking at his face, Jiang Nan Fang couldn't help but think of Zhan Bei Jue.
Things were getting stranger and stranger.
"I really can't drink, I ordered for them. I'm hungry, do you have a kitchen here? Make me dinner."
Good heavens, couldn't a wealthy wife just stay home and be pampered?
Why did she have to come here and cause trouble for him?
Just after fighting with her husband, he had to serve his wife. Lu Qingxu was full of pent-up frustration with nowhere to vent.
"What do you want to eat?"
"What do you have?"
"I don't know."
"Do you have a menu? I'll order from it."
She's really been spoiled by Zhan Bei Jue, putting on such airs.
"There's no menu, it's all in the chef's head."
"Then I'll go talk to him. Please lead the way."
The two people beside them felt Lu Qingxu's attitude was a bit too bad, but Jiang Nan Fang didn't mind.
They left the private room together, and after only a couple of steps, Jiang Nan Fang pulled him back.
"Did you fight with Zhan Bei Jue?"
Lu Qingxu was stunned, finally understanding the purpose of Jiang Nan Fang's request to come out.
He thought to himself that Jiang Nan Fang was indeed Jiang Nan Fang, so cunning.
"You're not here to apologize to me for our fight, are you?"
If so, he was thinking too much.
Zhan Bei Jue hadn't even mentioned it.
Jiang Nan Fang didn't answer him: "Why did you fight?"
"Didn't he tell you? If you already know, why are you asking me?"
"He said what he said, now I'm asking you."
Lu Qingxu couldn't see through Jiang Nan Fang, who was too deep.
At this moment, he suddenly wasn't sure if Zhan Bei Jue had really told her, or if Jiang Nan Fang was trying to trick him.
After all, this matter concerned their marital future. Although Zhan Bei Jue had acted unethically, he had no right to betray him.
"Whatever he says is what it is... So why did you come to find me?"
Jiang Nan Fang told the truth.
"You know, I don't like beating around the bush, I like to hear the truth."
"If Zhan Bei Jue is hiding anything from me, even if none of you say anything, I'll find out eventually. And then everyone will look bad."
"So, while there's still room for maneuver, as his friend..."
Good thing she didn't say it, so she was just tricking him!
Lu Qingxu sighed in his heart, looking at her sincere eyes, he didn't know how to respond.
At the same time, he wondered what Zhan Bei Jue was trying to achieve.
He had such a smart and beautiful wife at home, yet he insisted on deceiving everyone outside.
If he loved to play so much, he shouldn't pretend to be a devoted lover and care about his reputation!
It would be better not to get married, and everyone could just indulge in debauchery openly and honestly!
"Alright, since you've found me, it must be out of trust in me. You know, I don't like to lie either."
"To tell you the truth, I don't know if he's alright, but we did fight."
"It's because there are things I can't stand about him, and he can't stand about me. That's all I can say, as for what you think, it's up to you."
The men's friends were all cut from the same cloth, so expecting to hear the truth from them...
Jiang Nan Fang didn't want to bother anymore. Damn it, he was the one doing wrong, not her, so why was he being so secretive and always thinking of leaving room for maneuver?
She would go to Beicheng tomorrow to confront him! Demand an explanation in person!
All the other children were asleep, but Jing Yu, who was sensitive, had been listening to the movements outside the door.
It was already one in the morning when Jiang Nan Fang finally returned to her room.
He sighed silently in his heart.
Mommy was in a bad mood, and might act impulsively... He didn't want Mommy to repeat the previous time, leaving him and his sister to solve things on her own.
So from now on, he would keep an eye on her. Wherever Mommy went, he would go.
Even if it was to the ends of the earth, he and his sister would follow.
The next day, Jiang Nan Fang had breakfast with them and told them to go to school.
Jing Yu pretended to have a headache and felt unwell in his stomach, asking if he could take a day off.
He never lied about such things, so Jiang Nan Fang didn't suspect him and allowed him to stay.
Tian Tian saw that her brother wasn't going, and insisted on not going either.
"I'll stay home with my brother, otherwise he'll be lonely by himself."
Jiang Nan Fang kept them both at home and sent the other two to school.
Jing Yu and Tian Tian squatted in the corner, watching Jiang Nan Fang's phone location gradually move towards the suburbs, guessing that she was going to the airport.
The two of them nimbly climbed over the wall and called for a pre-arranged ride-hailing service.
Soon, a black private car stopped beside them, sizing them up.
"Who called the car? Where are your parents?"
"I called, take me to the airport, quickly. I'll pay you double the fare."
"Little ones. Where are your mom and dad?"
"They're waiting for us at the airport to meet them, hurry up."
What kind of people are these? They're too careless to let children take a taxi to the airport by themselves.
The two of them got into the car, and the driver began to scrutinize them from the rearview mirror.
Seeing that they were dressed in designer clothes from head to toe at such a young age, and their schoolbags were the kind he had shown his daughter online, which he couldn't afford even with a year's salary, he thought: Could these two little ones be from the villa upstairs?
We work ourselves to death and can't earn much money all year round, but these two little kids are adorned with gold and silver.
With a shift in his gaze, the driver, who was constantly criticized by his wife for being incompetent, had other ideas.
When they arrived at school, Rui Rui and Ge Er were both unhappy.
Because Jing Yu and Tian Tian had betrayed them.
It was obvious that Jing Yu wasn't sick; he had deliberately stayed home for his parents.
Since he had this plan all along, why didn't he tell them in advance so they could act together?
Rui Rui was listlessly fiddling with his watch under the desk when Jing Yu's movements caught his attention.
Why had he left home and gone out? And in such a remote direction? Could he be tracking Mommy?
He sent a message to Ge Er, asking her to open Jiang Nan Fang's phone location to check.
Soon, Ge Er told him: Mommy was on her way to the airport.
This was strange. Daddy was in Beicheng, and Mommy was going to the airport. Why were the two of them going to the outskirts?
And how did they get there? Uncle A Cheng couldn't have driven them, so they must have taken a taxi.
Taken a taxi?
Rui Rui's heart tightened, and he suddenly became nervous.
Could something have happened?
