Old Madam Long responded to his words, saying, "In that case, let’s do as you say."
Dragon Mother sighed with relief. Not having to suffer physical punishment and not getting divorced or thrown out of the Long Family were, for her, the best outcomes. However, Father Long was particularly displeased.
Being confined to the house without being allowed to step outside, wasn’t that the same as being in prison?
But at this moment, even though he was Long Yubei’s father, he felt both respect and fear towards his son.
After he and Dragon Mother sat back down on the sofa, Old Madam Long couldn’t help but praise Long Fengxi, "Feng Xi, you handled this matter well. You didn’t protect your mother, and your grandmother is relieved that you weren’t confused. In our family, we should lay things out in the open; hiding the truth from those above or below is the real disaster. Feng Xi, how did you discover this about your mother?"
Long Fengxi knew her grandmother would ask this, so she had prepared an answer in her heart. Thus, she said, "I had a few drinks at the bar near that hotel last night and decided to stay there for the night. In the morning, I saw it in the elevator."
Old Madam Long nodded, "Since you were children, I have repeatedly told you, whoever you marry is fine as long as you’re willing. Even if we elders are not satisfied, we’ll still consider your decision. But I have one requirement: whoever you’re with, you must abide by the contract of marriage. Infidelity within a marriage is absolutely not allowed. If you can’t even be loyal to your own spouse, life isn’t worth living."
"You’re right, Grandmother," Long Tianjiao supported, "My sister, my brother and I will definitely adhere to this. We absolutely can’t be like our parents."
Father Long’s phone rang at this moment, and Old Madam Long asked, "Who is it?"
Father Long handed it to her. It was He Meiwei calling, but he had saved He Meiwei’s name under the name of a friend he knew. Follow current novels on nοvelfire.net
So it was harmless for Old Madam Long to look at it.
However, Old Madam Long didn’t play by the usual playbook, unexpectedly answered the call, and even put it on speakerphone.
Father Long was extremely tense.
"Darling, will you come over tonight?"
As soon as the voice came out, Long Yubei was speechless. Old Madam Long handed the phone to Father Long, signaling with her eyes that he should answer.
"No, I won’t be coming. I can’t make it today."
"How about tomorrow then? I’ll make you something delicious."
Father Long hung up the phone directly.
"Why does that voice sound so familiar?" Old Madam Long frowned.
"Grandmother, it’s He Meiwei," Long Yubei correctly identified the caller.
"What?!" Old Madam Long was so angry she could almost cough up blood. She picked up her walking stick and fiercely struck Father Long, "You still have ties with that shameless woman?!"
"She came back to find me," Father Long defended.
"She came looking for you? Would it end up this messy if you hadn’t gone after her?! How much money have you given her this time!"
"I bought her a two-bedroom apartment at the Jianing High-end District for six million yuan..."
"You really are..." Old Madam Long snorted coldly, "Last time I let her off, and she dares come back now. She really has no shame. This time, I won’t let her off no matter what!"
"Mom, I was at fault too. Let’s just let it be," Father Long did not want He Meiwei to suffer for this any longer.
"Let it be? How generous of you. Spending the Long Family’s money on her. I’m going to make sure she learns what it costs to be that kind of woman, losing everything!"
With that said, Old Madam Long called for the housekeeper, "Go to the Jianing District and bring He Meiwei here."
Once the order was given, nothing Father Long said mattered anymore.
He Meiwei had carefully planned many things, but what she hadn’t anticipated was being caught and brought back to the Long Family so soon.
