In the end, they chose to drive Fang Qiang's car.
Li Mu couldn't identify the reasons, but indeed he began to dislike the red Toyota.
He Xiaoyu triumphantly got in the front passenger seat first and looked happy.
Lin Wan bit her lip and sat silently in the back seat. She turned her face and looked out of the car window, looking preoccupied.
Li Mu ignored her feelings because he thought there were still many doubts, for example, why she lied and why she turned off GPS.
If Lin Kun were really her relative, why did she hide the truth from him? Was her relative too stigmatized to be presented to others?
Li Mu didn't believe Lin Wan's explanation at all.
He thought that Lin Wan was still lying and concealing the truth. She hoped that he could trust her. But shouldn't the basis of mutual trust be honest with each other?
How could a woman full of lies be qualified to be trusted by her husband and how could such a woman who make her husband believe that she didn't betray their marriage?
However, there was one thing Lin Wan was right that some matters needed to be discussed at home to avoid being seen as a joke by others.
After the car ignited, He Xiaoyu said to Li Mu, "Go to the airport first. My luggage is still there. After picking up my luggage, then you drive me home."
"What? You don't even carry your luggage?"
"Hum. That's because I'm worried that you may do something stupid, and you suffer from hunger. So I came straight after I got off the plane. Thus, I didn't carry the luggage."
Lin Wan turned her head. And just now in room 701, she noticed that a few drinks and some cigarettes were set on the windowsill.
It could be assumed that her husband lived a terrible day and did not eat and rest properly.
"Honey, I'm sorry!"
"We will talk about it when we arrive home." Li Mu replied nonchalantly.
He drove to the airport first, picked up the luggage, and then drove He Xiaoyu home. She lived in a villa area with graceful surroundings, surrounded by mountains and water.
At the entrance of the villa area, she got out of the car. And Li Mu helped her take the luggage out and intended to help her with her luggage to her doorstep.
He Xiaoyu took the suitcase back and thanked him for his kind offer.
"You don't need to walk me home. It's very near from here." said she while she turned her head towards the back seat of the car, "You hurry home to save someone from criticizing me for being intentional."
Li Mu smiled and didn't insist and turned around to get into the car to leave.
He Xiaoyu shouted to Lin Wan who sat at the back seat of the car, "Hey, Lin Wan, I advise you to tell the truth. He won't buy your story. Just tell the truth. It will be a relief for all of us!"
"None of your business!" Lin Wan's voice came from the back seat of the car with an unfriendly tone.
He Xiaoyu grunted, pulled her suitcase, and left.
Li Mu watched He Xiaoyu swipe her card to enter the villa area. And then he ignited the vehicle and turned it around to drive home.
On the way back, the two didn't speak a word to each other. The silence was broken until Fang Qiang's call came in.
Li Mu got through the call, through which coming the voice of Fang Qiang with a concerned tone, "Li Mu, where are you now? Are you ok? Did anything happen?"
"I'm ok. Everything's fine. I'll return your car tomorrow!"
"There's no rush. Keep it if you still need it. How about Lin Wan? Did you get the evidence?"
"She is in the car right now. Talk to you later!"
"Ah? Well then. We'll talk later. Remember. Don't do anything impulsive."
"I got it. Bye!"
After hanging up the call, Li Mu continued driving. And Lin Wan asked him with some displeasure, "It's Fang Qiang, right?""Yes.""Did you tell him about it as well?"Li Mu glanced at the rearview mirror and replied with an expressionless face, "Yes!""You!" Lin Wan sat up straight, "Why are you telling them everything? Is it necessary to let them know about the misunderstanding between the two of us?""They're my best friends, ok? When I don't know what to do, who else can I count on except for them?""Why don't you come to me and ask me for clarification?""Come to you? Are you at home then? Will you tell me the truth?"Lin Wan got silent for a moment, and spoke in an injured voice, "I did lie to you. It's my fault. Honey, I'm sorry. But I did that for a reason.""Okay. Tell me the reason when we arrive home instead of continuing to deceive me. Xiaoyu is righ
Lin Wan’s analysis was right. Before this happened, Xiaoyu almost let go of Li Mu. After all, there were tons of other nice men out there. She did not want to become the other woman.Although she felt reluctant, he was a married man. She could become friends with him, but she should not develop any affectionate feelings for him.However, Lin Wan’s behavior made Xiaoyu have second thoughts. Since Lin Wan did not appreciate Li Mu, why couldn’t she take him away from Lin Wan?In the past, she thought this way of thinking was immoral, but now, it seemed pretty reasonable!How could Lin Wan cheat on Li Mu yet at the same time expect him to be loyal to her? Who did she think she was?Since Lin Wan could not stay faithful, Xiaoyu thought she should let go of Li Mu as soon as possible.Hence, she decided to not give up on this opportunity. Not only did she want to help Li Mu escape from a bad marriage, but
“Oh, come on! He’s my cousin. How can you... Fine, I’ll cut ties with him, but you have to cut ties with He Xiaoyu too!”“Don’t carry it too far. Tell me why you bailed your marriage.”“No way! You have to promise me that you’ll cut ties with He Xiaoyu! I don’t like her either!”“Alright, I know what the boundaries are. Now get into the story!”Lin Wan stared at Li Mu for a moment before continuing, “My parents worked in the construction industry, and they wanted me to marry their business partner’s son. I didn’t want to, so I ran away from home, came to Shanyang, and eventually met you.”“But you told me that your parents passed away, and you’re all alone. You’re really something. Not only did you lie, but you even curse your family to death! How cruel!”“I never lied. I told you that my family is not around, but I never said that they were dead.”“Why didn’t you tell me the whole stor
Li Mu was completely baffled. He thought he was on the right side, and everything he did reflected how clear his conscience was. Who would’ve thought that it would make him look like a reckless man instead?However, the current situation showed how wrong he was. Very Wrong!He wronged his wife, tarnished his lover's innocence, and also beat up his innocent brother-in-law deliberately without proper justification.The wronged Lin Wan burst into tears and sobbed profusely. Li Mu immediately apologized to her by bowing, within an ace of kneeling to kowtow to her to prove his sincerity.Lin Wan took this opportunity to ask him to break off all relationships with He Xiaoyu once and for all. Patting his chest, Li Mu promised that he would stay away from He Xiaoyu, and never gave his wife any trouble again.After what felt like ages of coaxing and persuasion, Lin Wan finally smiled through her tears. Li Mu snatched thi
The call between the two women was short since it wasn’t anything complicated. After a few words, Lin Wan placed her phone casually on the cupboard."I'll go to wash my hair first. You’d better get ready too, we're leaving in a few minutes."Li Mu responded with a yes. Right after Lin Wan left, he immediately picked up her phone again and unlocked her phone’s graphic lock to look through his wife's phone call history.Apart from him, the majority of those who had contact with his wife were her colleagues, while the rest were express packages and takeaways. There was also nothing out of place in terms of her call frequency.He then checked her VChat history. All he could see were various groupchats with her colleagues and groups about makeup, fresh food, cakes and so on. These were all normal social groups and there were no strangers found in her list of friends.The only noticeable change was that Lin Wan follow
“Give me your phone!” Lin Wan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly ordered her husband. “It’s in my bag. Get it yourself. What do you want to do with my phone?”"I want to check what you and He Xiaoyu usually talk about.""Tsk, feel free to look through my phone as much as you like!" Li Mu said disdainfully. "There is nothing between us, so I have nothing to fear."Lin Wan started to look through her husband’s phone. After a while, she suddenly snapped at him, “Pull over now!”“What’s the matter?”“I asked you to pull over!” Lin Wan shouted angrily.Li Mu quickly stopped the car at the side of the road. Before the car came to a complete stop, Lin Wan hurriedly got out of the car and walked back while crying."What the f**k!" Li Mu cursed. He immediately stalled the car and got out to chase after Lin Wan. Grabbing hold of her hand, he asked, "What's wrong?
Despite Lin Kun’s provocation, Li Mu didn’t even bother to cast a glance at him.Instead, he said to Lin Wan’s parents calmly, “I think I’d better call you two uncle and aunt. Let’s do it this way. I’ll give you two a million dollars. You can treat this as the payment for selling your daughter to me!”“How insolent of you!” the fifth aunt yelled from the side. “How am I being insolent? Your husband quoted the price. The price he quoted for Lin Wan was one million. Since you guys quoted the price, why can’t I buy her?”“In your dreams! Our baby Lin Wan is worth far more than a million dollars.” The fifth aunt replied furiously.“Oh, then why don't you tell me how much Lin Wan is worth to you guys?”Li Mu had completely sidetracked the whole conversation. He was really a senior consultant of a reputable company. He was really good at grasping the opportunity and leading the conversation.
Li Mu walked into the office with apprehension when he went to work on Monday.From afar, he had already seen He Xiaoyu sitting at his work station, staring fixedly at the entrance.When she saw Li Mu, He Xiaoyu immediately sprang up from her seat and called out loudly, “Li Mu!”A few of the colleagues who had already reached the office immediately turned their heads to their side one after another and looked at them curiously.Li Mu quickly trotted over and said in a low pleading voice, “Ms. Yu, please spare me. If there is anything, let’s go outside and talk about it.”He Xiaoyu snorted and strutted out of the office.Li Mu hurriedly threw his bag on the desk and followed her out obediently. The two of them went to the garden downstairs, and found a place with not many people. Before Li Mu could sit down, He Xiaoyu had already begun to question him, “Lin Wan blocked me, right?”
