The half-hour timing was about up, but because they got carried on kissing, they ended up putting on quite the show in the private room.
When Father Long finished pulling up his pants and was about to leave, the moment he opened the door, he knew, the sky had fallen.
Long Yubei was standing outside the door.
Gu Lili wasn’t there; she was dining in a private room with Gu Xichen.
"Are you sure you don’t want to go have a look?"
"No." Gu Lili sipped her apple juice through the straw, "My father-in-law won’t be able to get away with it this time. The matter with He Meiwei and her son from Andong Fengling had just settled down for a few days, and now they want a replay. I’ll head back to the Long Family Mansion later."
Gu Xichen cut up her steak and placed it neatly in front of her, "Eat up, it’s getting cold."
Gu Lili picked up her fork and started eating leisurely. By the time she finished and left, Long Yubei was nowhere to be seen.
She drove straight back to the Long Family Mansion.
Before she even reached the living room, the sound of loud arguing and shouting reached her, coming in waves.
The first scene that met her eyes upon entering was Father Long and He Meiwei kneeling on the ground. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelꜰire.net
He Meiwei’s face had been beaten swollen, a mixture of blue and purple hues.
Her hair was a mess like a bird’s nest, and there were torn strands littering the ground.
Father Long, on the surface, seemed to have escaped any physical punishment.
Old Madam Long was furious, her face an iron shade, sitting on the sofa, while the Old Master constantly tried to soothe her emotions.
Dragon Mother was crying the whole time, the impact on her was imaginable.
Long Tianjiao and Long Fengxi, the two sisters, looked on indifferently.
Gu Lili went over and sat down next to Long Yubei, intertwining her fingers tightly with his.
"Lili, Yu Bei said we owe you this time. If it weren’t for you, we all would still be in the dark. How did you find out?"
"Grandma, it was : I went shopping in Nanwei District today, and just so happened to overhear He Meiwei on the phone with her ’dear’. I wondered which man had been fooled by her this time. Originally, Yu Bei, Xichen, and I had planned to dine together. Since He Meiwei had a past with both Yu Bei and Xichen, I wanted them to see what He Meiwei’s new boyfriend was like, so I booked the Western restaurant that He Meiwei’s family goes to. Unexpectedly, she hadn’t arrived when we got there, so I left a small surveillance device in her private room, just for gossip’s sake, who would’ve known that it would turn out to be Dad. It sure was an eye-opener for all of us. Upon entering the room, Dad started with a French kiss with He Meiwei, all lovey-dovey, and after eating, they even used the private room like a hotel, you know what happened next."
Dragon Mother’s crying grew louder, she grabbed He Meiwei and slapped her twice more, "I trusted you so much, I treated you so well, you shameless woman! You actually seduced Yu Bei’s father! How could you do this to me! I truly regret, thinking that you were a good person, how can you act so well!"
He Meiwei knelt there numbly, not fighting back.
Gu Lili added fuel to the fire, "She hired someone to attack me before, trying to take compromising photos to tarnish my reputation, luckily I got away in time, and Yu Bei broke her leg. But it seems she didn’t learn her lesson, even eyeing Dad now, trying to bear him a son or daughter to squeeze out Mom’s position? The depth of her scheming and manipulation is really something."
Dragon Mother was so angry she almost fainted, her hands shaking uncontrollably, she scoffed, "She wishes! The nerve of her, claiming her leg injury was due to a car accident, saying she didn’t pursue the perpetrator’s liability, truly painting herself like an angel!"
