【Ahhh, why is catching someone in the act so difficult? I just got carried away for a moment and now I’m in a frenzy!】
Qin Xian suggested, “Why don’t we go take a look? We’ve said a lot about Chengle earlier. If he gets provoked and clashes with Jianghe, it could get messy.”
The hint of worry in Qin Xian’s cold tone struck a chord with Fifth Aunt Qin, making her worry.
Others recalled their conversation earlier, where they had attempted to make Zhao Chengle see how unreasonable his father was and how hard his mother had it. If he took their words to heart, it was possible he might confront his father.
Of course, this was assuming the best outcome. Mostly, Fifth Aunt Qin found Qin Xian’s suggestion very convincing.
Qin Yi seemed to have an idea and chimed in, “Why don’t we all go check it out?”
Qin Zhao quickly agreed, “Yes, let’s go take a look. If nothing’s happening, no harm done.”
Fifth Aunt Qin initially didn’t want to go, but before she knew it, she was swept along by the group.
【Ah, opportunity just presented itself! This is going too smoothly, almost unbelievable. My husband is my lucky star! Let the truth be unveiled on our turf; we’ll make them pay! Catching someone in the act is just too exciting, hehe!】
Qin Second’s family also found the situation exhilarating, their adrenaline pumping. Knowing the truth and seeing those people collude to deceive Aunt Qin had been infuriating. What made it worse was their pretense of acting in Aunt Qin’s best interest, making them even more repulsive. So, the sooner this was exposed, the better.
【Oh, they’re holding each other, yuck~ They’re kissing! Damn! They’re already undressing…】
Qin Second’s family, hearing this in their minds, turned green. How shameless! Doing this in their ex-wife’s family home? Even animals wouldn’t behave so disgracefully!
Let’s catch them in the act!
The building was quiet, with only the servants resting in the first floor’s maid room. The second floor was where guests stayed.
As they climbed upstairs, Qin Second’s family led the way, all of them holding their breath silently. The others, not daring to speak, wondered what they were doing so quietly.
Could they be eavesdropping on a father-son conversation to see if Zhao Chengle had reflected on his actions?
Everyone was puzzled.
Meanwhile, Ji Fei was thinking about how to open the door to catch them in the act. Asking Fifth Aunt Qin to do it would just give the two a chance to further deceive her.
Just as she thought this, they reached the door. Fifth Aunt Qin was about to knock when voices came from inside.
“No, Brother Zhao, this is Yu’s home; we can’t do this…”
“Yun, you’ve been wronged today, and I feel for you!”
Then came sounds like someone was struggling to breathe while kissing.
Fifth Aunt Qin froze.
The others, though not hearing everything clearly, could make out male and female voices.
【Damn, are the guest room’s soundproofing this bad? This is going to be too easy… Wait, does that mean when Qin Xian and I…】
Qin Xian quickly pulled Ji Fei closer to distract her, mindful of the others present.
Qin Second’s family: …they have never eavesdropped on anyone.
Besides, the newer guest rooms were built with excellent soundproofing, unlike here.
Ji Fei was pulled out of her thoughts. She noticed Fifth Aunt Qin’s eyes were reddening.
Apparently, she understood.
The conversation inside continued.
“When I divorce Yu, we’ll have our wedding back home. I must give you the best to make up for your love.”
“No, Brother Zhao, being able to love each other is enough for me. I don’t need those material things. As long as you keep me by your side every day.”
“Why, Yun, don’t you want to marry me?”
“But if we get married, Yu will find out. I don’t want her to be hurt. You know, I never wanted to steal you from her. I just couldn’t control my love for you. If I could, I’d want to maintain the balance of our three-way relationship. I can’t bear to see my best friend hurt, but she found out. I just hope she learns the truth as late as possible.”
“But, Yun, you’re being wronged.”
“I’m not wronged. I just want you two to be okay. Rest assured, I’ll stay with you but also keep in touch with Yu, comforting her. Maybe after helping her through her troubles, she’ll find someone new. When she learns the truth, she won’t blame us. Unless she blesses us, we’ll never get married!”
“Yun, you’re…too kind. You’re going out of your way for her, but it’s not your fault.”
“It’s my fault for falling in love with my best friend’s husband. This is what I deserve. I just hope someday we can all be friends again…”
Fifth Aunt Qin couldn’t take it anymore. Tears streaming down her face, her eyes reddened, she burst into the room.
The others followed closely behind.
Despite not hearing everything clearly, everyone understood—they were here to catch someone in the act.
And it seemed there was only one person who fit that description—the so-called “best friend” who came along under the guise of friendship.
It was the cliche of the culprit being right under your nose.
No wonder Fifth Aunt Qin hadn’t noticed.
Soon, screams filled the air.
The scene was unbearable to look at.
The two on the bed weren’t fully exposed, but they were already disheveled, hugging and whispering intimately—enough to make it clear what was happening.
The screaming came from Lu Yunqing; Zhao Jianghe quickly pulled the blanket to cover Lu Yunqing, who was almost exposed. Himself, looking tense, stood up, but his body betrayed him, making the situation even more awkward.
Zhao Jianghe’s face was grim as he tried to lash out at Fifth Aunt Qin, “Where’s your manners? How dare you barge into someone’s room!”
Fifth Aunt Qin seemed to be in shock, unable to respond.
But the Qin family behind her erupted in anger.
“What right do you have to talk about manners, you adulterer sneaking with your mistress in your ex-wife’s family home!” Qin Xiaoyu raged.
“Besides, this is our house! We can go wherever we please!” Qin Jing added.
“Damn!” Qin Wenqiang, who hated mistresses the most, rushed forward to pull the blanket away.
Lu Yunqing screamed.
“Don’t touch her!” Zhao Jianghe tried to intervene but was shoved to the ground by Qin Yi and Qin Zhao.
The blanket was pulled away, leaving Lu Yunqing exposed and in disarray on the bed. She looked up, tearful and pitiful, at Fifth Aunt Qin.
