"Fine, be more precise." Su Yanxi snorted.
His previous statements about "not knowing how long ago" and "not knowing when" were all lies and self-deception. He meticulously remembered the time, the beginning, and every single detail of Bie Yunzong's suspected infidelity!
"On the evening of July 12th last year, you said that your friends held a party at the Bulgari Hotel to celebrate your graduation from university."
"July 12th night, Bulgari Hotel?"
Bie Yunzong still couldn't find any relevant memories, so he could only open WeChat on his phone.
"Wait, wait, I really can't remember!"
"I was drunk that day, right? Don't blame me for not remembering things! Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me check my buddies' chat history!"
"Fine." Su Yanxi gritted her teeth. "If you can't explain things clearly tonight, then we're not going to get through this—before you go back to Beicheng tomorrow, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get the divorce certificate changed!"
"No, no!"
Bie Yunzong was in a panic and quickly searched for the chat history from the evening of July 12th last year, fearing that if he was even a little slow, he would be dragged to the Civil Affairs Bureau for "execution" the next day.
He was truly glad that the Civil Affairs Bureau didn't work at night, otherwise his wife's execution wouldn't have had to wait until tomorrow.
He just kept changing phones quickly, buying a pair as soon as a new model came out and having Su Yanxi help him change them. After all that changing, aside from his chat history with his wife, everything else was blank.
Don't panic. Quickly switch to WeChat: "No, there's no record. It's on my old phone!"
"Honey, don't worry, I'll call the maid and have her look through my old phone. There's something on the old phone—"
Before he could finish speaking, a hazy, indistinct image flashed through Bie Yunzong's mind.
In the video, he is embraced and his cheek is touched by a stranger whose face is not visible. He tries hard to see the other man's face, but is kissed on the cheek.
"...There must be one." Bie Yunzong quickly added after regaining his senses, "Let me see which number the housekeeper has, wait a minute!"
"Get out!"
Su Yanxi noticed Bie Yunzong's absent-mindedness and angrily twisted his ear.
"You clearly remembered just now!"
"I...I don't remember!" Bie Yunzong tried to deny it, not daring to describe the scene in his mind—it was too dangerous!
"You're stammering and still denying it?" Su Yanxi said fiercely. "Good heavens, you really did cheat on me! If you weren't cheating, why would you be hiding the room key and have someone else's perfume on your clothes?"
"What cheating?" Bie Yunzong was stunned by the question, his eyes wide with disbelief. He didn't even dare to cry out in pain as his ear was being twisted. "Holy crap, what cheating or not cheating? And what's with the room key—?"
"You're asking me that?"
Su Yanxi was so angry at the dog's bewildered face that she felt dizzy. She let go of the dog and pushed the hateful nemesis backward.
"You should ask yourself that question!"
"If you can't explain it, then forget it, let's leave—"
The doorbell rang at just the right moment, perfectly interrupting Su Yanxi's "sentencing" and rescuing Bie Yunzong from his dire situation.
Unlike his previous outburst of curses after being interrupted, Bie Yunzong breathed a sigh of relief this time, inwardly sighing, "Thank God..."
Su Yanxi rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue in exasperation.
"You sit down, I'll open the door!"
Su Yanxi was furious. She opened the door with a stern face and furrowed brows, but before she could speak, she was startled by the person outside the door.
"Director He?" Su Yanxi quickly straightened her posture. "Director He, what brings you here so suddenly?"
"Never mind how I got here, just tell me," Director He said, panting, "Is the second young master of another family with you?"
Su Yanxi was confused: "Huh...?"
"Your so-called boyfriend is someone else's second young master?" Zhou Tong followed behind the director, sticking her head out in shock and showing him her phone. "You're on the news, didn't you know?"
Author's Note:
Dog: Even if the King of Heaven himself came, I wouldn't cheat on him! Even if the King of Heaven himself came, I would only love my wife!!
————————
It was a trap set by the villains; they didn't succeed, so don't worry!
Thank you to number baby 20777384 for one bottle of sweet water, and to baby who studies hard for ten bottles of sweet water! Mwah~
#25 is married, not boyfriend, but husband!
"What news?"
Su Yanxi squinted, wanting to take the phone to examine it more closely.
Zhou Tong nimbly dodged, put away her phone, and waved her hand, saying, "It's not important. What's important is whether your so-called boyfriend is actually someone else's young master."
"What's going on?" Bie Yunzong couldn't sit still and curiously went to the door to join the fun. He stuck his head out and saw Director He. He naturally greeted him, "Uncle He, are you having a crew meeting so late at night?"
Upon seeing Bie Yunzong's face, Director He and Zhou Tong both gasped, pointing at Bie Yunzong and exclaiming in unison, "—It's him!"
Su Yanxi stared wide-eyed, looking left and then right, bewildered: "What's wrong?"
"It's him! He's Su Su's boyfriend!" Zhou Tong exclaimed excitedly to Director He, not bothering to explain. "He's been staying in Su Su's room for days!"
"He's the second young master of the Bie family—I recognize him!" Director He was also very excited. After saying that, he reached out and patted Bie Yunzong's shoulder. "This is Cheng Xiaohui, Teacher Cheng's youngest son! No wonder, how could I mistake him?"
Chapter 46
"Then, then it all makes sense!" Zhou Tong looked at Su Yanxi and raised her voice again, "Su Yanxi, why didn't you tell me your boyfriend was someone else's second young master?"
"Boyfriend?"
Bie Yunzong looked disgusted, then triumphantly shook his right index finger, denying it.
"Not boyfriend, husband!"
"Old man—?" Zhou Tong was so surprised her jaw almost dislocated, and her eyes seemed about to pop out of their sockets. "Su Yanxi, you're actually married???"
Unable to bear their overreactions, Su Yanxi quickly made a shushing gesture: "Shh! Can we talk inside if we have any questions?"
"Come in, Director He, Sister Tong. I'll explain everything to you one by one after closing the door."
After inviting the director and agent into the room, Su Yanxi cautiously looked around the outside of the room to make sure no one was eavesdropping or watching before turning the handle and gently closing the door.
The two people in the room were in an uproar; one was incredibly surprised, and the other was extremely flustered. Just as Su Yanxi was about to turn around and return to his seat, Zhou Tong grabbed him and pushed him down onto an empty seat on the sofa.
"Su Yanxi, why didn't you tell me you got married?" Zhou Tong was the flustered one. Recalling the things she had said to Su Yanxi in the past, she felt that every word was offensive and every sentence could be a death sentence. "The person you married is... is—!"
Bie Yunzong, who was sitting diagonally opposite Zhou Tong at the coffee table, was so flustered that he was incoherent.
She understood; in an instant, all her confusion and bewilderment vanished!
The Rolls-Royce and Hermes bag on the day of signing the contract, the super trump card casually displayed during the scandal, and the three million-dollar down payment for a house to vent anger...
Su Yanxi revealed so many obvious clues, yet she remained oblivious like a fool, believing Su Yanxi's nonsense that "I just dated a rich second-generation boyfriend!"
Damn it, which rich kid could put up with Su Yanxi's antics? Apart from other families, there are probably very few wealthy and powerful families of this caliber!
"Damn it, I'm such an idiot!" Zhou Tong smacked his head in regret. "I actually complained that you had no self-awareness and wasted your most precious time on a worthless relationship. Now look at it—damn it, I'm the one who had no self-awareness!"
Is it worth it for actors and art students to spend their four golden years after their independent internship period dating rich kids?
The answer is obvious: it's not worth it, absolutely not worth it. With years of experience as a talent agent, Zhou Tong would always have to shout: It's not worth it!
But if the other party is the young master of another super-rich family, then it's a different story—it's worth it, absolutely worth it!
Because the other party can truly guarantee you a life free from financial worries!
"Why didn't you tell me about your precious status earlier, other people's young mistress?" Zhou Tong shamelessly clung to her own artist, cash cow, and powerful backer. "If you had just said you were someone else's daughter-in-law, why would I have bothered to assess your acting skills? I would have just signed a contract of servitude with you!"
Zhou Tong's reaction dealt Su Yanxi a devastating blow. Startled, Su Yanxi stood up, pressing her hands against Zhou Tong and frantically shaking her head in denial.
"Sister Tong, please don't do this! I just didn't want to be treated specially by you, which is why I haven't told you my true identity yet."
"You don't need to apologize to me, just treat me normally!"
"Waaah, how can I treat you normally?" Zhou Tong patted Su Yanxi's shoulder, her eyes filled with tears, feeling both touched and helpless. "Su Su, I feel like you're bathed in golden light now!"
Su Yanxi broke out in a cold sweat and quickly handed Zhou Tong a cup of tea: "You're really exaggerating. Have some tea and calm down."
"Xiao Zong, you're really quite mischievous!"
After Zhou Tong finished panicking, it was Director He's turn to speak, looking surprised and astonished.
“Since Yanxi is your wife, you should have told me long ago. If you had told Uncle He, he would have taken good care of Yanxi on your behalf in the film crew.”
“I would like to ask you to take care of me, but—” Bie Yunzong shrugged, looking at his wife sitting diagonally beside him, “My wife won’t let me say it, so there’s nothing I can do.”
Bie Yunzong's words were light and casual, and besides answering Director He's question, there was also a hint of smugness in his statement, as if he had a wife who disciplined him and loved him very much.
Still not settled about their earlier affair, Su Yanxi was furious at her husband's smug look.
Su Yanxi stretched out her foot and poked the stinky dog's calf with her toe, scolding, "Stop pretending. I'll let you get away with this one more time tonight, but who knows what tomorrow will bring!"
Bie Yunzong's face immediately fell: "Ah... no! I'll call all the brothers one by one in a bit and make sure I find out what happened that night, okay?"
"What's wrong?" Director He, the eldest, asked the young couple with concern. "Did you have a fight?"
"Hmm." Su Yanxi smiled at the director and poured some more tea into the teapot. "I'm going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce first thing tomorrow morning."
Su Yanxi speaks in this way, cold and indifferent, with a sense of detachment. At first glance, he seems serious and earnest, but in reality, he is half serious and half joking.
Whether he was serious or joking depends on Bie Yunzong's final explanation.
Director He and Zhou Tong failed to grasp the part where Su Yanxi was "joking" and both took it seriously. The moment the topic of divorce came up, Zhou Tong was the first to stand up and disagree!
"You can't get a divorce! You two are so young, what's the big deal that you're talking about divorce?"
"Calm down, calm down, let's talk this out."
"Yes, Yanxi, calm down." Director He, a married man, advised Su Yanxi with the air of someone who had been through it all. "Marriage is full of conflicts. If you have any dissatisfaction or discomfort, just bring it up and resolve it. Don't be ruthless."
Seeing so many people speaking up for him, Bie Yunzong quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes!"
"Xiao Zong cares about you a lot behind the scenes." Director He Yu changed the subject, "You don't know, on the day of the public audition, he came to the scene early in the morning to find me and said he would watch it with me."
Chapter 47
"At the time, I was wondering why he was interested in things related to the film crew. Now I understand, it's all because of you!"
Director He had no ill intentions. He just felt that one of the two young men was diligent and hardworking, and dared to hide his identity to participate in the public audition. The other drove alone to the film studio early in the morning and quietly accompanied the crew to social events all day. In fact, he just wanted to catch a glimpse of his wife who was auditioning.
