C8 The Things They Did Behind Her Back

She let herself slowly lie on the table, trying to calm herself down.

In fact, every time she saw that man, she hoped that he would be like before, hugging her shoulder and smiling as he stood in the middle of the crowd.

Only at that moment did she feel that she was his woman.

She remembered what she had said to Xi Muyao in the morning. After today, she would have a showdown with the old man.

He knew that she wouldn't do that, right?

When she went out, it was raining outside. Qingli's steps were a little light.

The current situation had exceeded her expectations and grasp of her life. She had never thought that she would be in such a situation.

It was already very late by the time she reached home, and her family had already fallen asleep.

She gently walked to the entrance and changed into her slender high heels. Then, she heard a light cough.

"Qing Huan?" She turned around and saw a figure walking over from the sofa.

Qing Huan's eyes were tired and slightly blurred. Her hair was much shorter than Qingli's, and she put it on her shoulder.

She shook the goblet in her hand and asked, "Do you want a drink?"

Qingli frowned and just looked at her and she immediately understood. She opened one hand and said, "Sorry, sister, I forgot that you are pregnant now..."

"Shh!" Qingli quickly made a shushing gesture and raised her eyes to look upstairs.

"Don't worry, they are all asleep! The old man is also tired and has gone to sleep early in the morning."

"Mmm, that's good."

"Why are you so late?" Qing Huan asked her, "Also, why didn't you tell me that you were discharged? Was it Brother-in-law who took you away?"

"No, I have something to do."

Qingli put down her bag and went to the bathroom to wash her hands. She then gulped down some water.

She had drunk enough water today, but Qing Huan knew that every time she lied, she would desperately drink the water.

However, this time, she did not want to interfere with Qingli's matters.

Thus, she shook her head and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

"Where did Qingge bring you to?" Qingli asked her.

"Oh, she didn't go anywhere. I walked around with Jian Yang and asked her to come back earlier." Qing Huan was indifferent.

"Yes."

Qingli did not speak again. She felt a slight dizziness, as if she had drunk alcohol.

Jian Yang was the son-in-law of their family, but because he was not recognized by his father, even if he came back with Qing Huan this time, he did not come to the house to sit. Not to mention giving the old man a birthday gift.

In the old man's heart, only Xi Muyao was the son-in-law he was most proud of.

As for Qingge, she brought her five-year-old son to live at home every day. That divorced ex-husband was already nowhere to be found.

Lu Jinghao always looked at Qingge and his grandson, Mu Ziyang, frowning and sighing. He did not understand. Why would a daughter who was so old take the path of divorce? She had humiliated him, the mayor, and had even stayed at home from now on. She didn't want to marry again.

Of his three daughters, one should marry but not marry, and the other should not marry but desperately want to marry.

Qingli was the only one that made him worry the most.

Qingli was the clearest about the old man's thoughts, so every time she thought of bringing up the matter of her divorce with Lu Jinghao, she swallowed back her words.

Lu Jinghao's heart was not good, and he also had diabetes. All these years, although he looked healthy, he could not avoid needles and medicine every day.

That night Qingli did not sleep well. The faces of Xi Muyao and Lin Yeyan flashed repeatedly in her dreams.

As well as Lin Yeyan's round waist and protruding abdomen.

She only needed to think about what Xi Muyao and Lin Yeyan had done behind her back that night. Even in her dreams, her teeth would clink when she thought about it.
