Chapter 561

“Am I in a position to falsely accuse you?”

Bai Lanwu angrily played a video on his phone and shouted, “Isn’t this you in the video? I invited you over for dinner, but you told me you had to work overtime. But before I knew it, you were casually dining at a restaurant with another woman. If you didn’t like the food I made, just say it straight. There’s no need to use such an excuse to upset my daughter. Had she not seen you flirtatiously chatting with another woman, she wouldn’t have left her meal untouched and gone out to eat hot pot elsewhere instead. It’s because she consumed some unhygienic food there that she ended up with acute gastroenteritis. Now she’s so sick, vomiting and suffering from diarrhea continuously, with a persistent high fever. And you’re nowhere to be seen. Just get out, get out of here! Don’t come and worsen my daughter’s condition!”

Upon a closer look at the video, Ye Junqing realized it was him dining with Yan Xi?

Was Deep also there at the time? Why didn’t she come over to greet him, why run away?

Ye Junqing felt even more wronged than DuanEr. His mother-in-law had clearly misunderstood him and Yan Xi. There was absolutely no way he’d be flirting with Yan Xi. It was just a regular get-together. Moreover, it wasn’t just the two of them there that night. The others just hadn’t arrived at the time the video was taken.

Ye Junqing said: “Mom, you’ve got it all wrong. Yan Xi and I aren’t in the kind of relationship you’re thinking of. We’re just good friends.”

Han Chengbei peered over to see the video; it showed a woman, but he couldn’t confirm it was Iron Lady Yan Xi. Listening to the sound of Ye Junqing’s defense, Han Chengbei couldn’t help but chuckle. So, did his mother-in-law catch Ye Junqing having an affair— was it with Iron Lady Yan Xi?

“Auntie, the night before last, I saw Ye Junqing going to the airport to pick up the woman in the video. He was hugging her at the airport. I immediately informed Deep about this over a WeChat video call. So, Deep must have fallen ill out of anger. No wonder she seemed so melancholic when I came to visit uncle at the hospital the next day. Having a low mood makes one susceptible to diseases. Yes, the cause of Deep’s illness is none other than Ye Junqing. Don’t forgive him easily!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Lanwu grew even more furious: “Really, were they ‘lovingly embraced’ together that night?”

“Absolutely, both Deep and my eyes witnessed it!” Han Chengbei continued to instigate, seemingly pleased.

Tang Zhou couldn’t tolerate this anymore and kicked Han Chengbei: “Don’t add fuel to the fire. My buddy, Zhou, may have been with Yan Xi these past two days, but they were purely professional, nothing improper. Auntie, you really have misunderstood Ye Junqing. The affection he showed to Yan Xi, the dining together, playing together, working together, was all just for work.”

Tang Zhou shouldn’t have said anything. Bai Lanwu was now so furious she wished she could kick Ye Junqing out immediately. So, he had been escorting Yan Xi all this time, dining together, playing together, even talking about feelings?

Her daughter was so sick, but her disappointing future son-in-law was doing all these things?noveldrama

“Get out! Get out right this instant! I’m going to call your mother right now and call off this marriage!”

Ye Junqing’s temples started throbbing as he glared at Tang Zhou. He couldn’t tell if he was trying to help him or if he was intentionally harming him. Since when did he ever become so buddy-buddy with Yan Xi?

They were just old classmates, what was there to talk about feelings?

Wasn’t it just picking up Yan Xi from the airport, having dinner with a few old classmates, and then today he had a round of golf at his big brother’s request after returning from an out-of-town business trip?
