Lin Ziqian hurried out of the door. Although he was very careful, the slight noise before he went out still startled Mother Wu.
She put on her clothes and tiptoed to open the door slightly and peek into her daughter’s room. Only Wu Man was inside. She turned her head and looked at Father Wu. The two of them understood and pushed the door open. Pulling Wu Man, who was in a daze, they asked with concern, “Tell us, did you have a conflict with him?”
Father Wu, who had followed her in, stared at Wu Man. “Did you two have a fight?”
Wu Man did not say anything. Mother Wu asked tentatively, “Why did you two fight?”
“It was nothing. He was just busy with work and was called over by the leader in the middle of the night.” She made up a random reason, but Wu man turned her head away and gave a perfunctory answer.
Father Wu frowned. “You child, no matter how busy you are with work, the leader can’t call someone into the company in the middle of the night.” Right? Even his own parents did not believe Lin Ziqian’s reason, why did he think that she would believe anything he said?
Before Wu Man could say anything, Mother Wu frowned even more. “You didn’t cheat on him, did you?”
She almost choked on her saliva. “No, no. I stayed at a friend’s house for the whole night yesterday.”
Mother Wu grabbed her hand. She wanted to ask something, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud. Her face was full of worry. Seeing that the two elders were so concerned about her, Wu Man’s words were on the tip of her tongue. At first, she hesitated whether she should say it or not. Now that she saw their concerned eyes, she made up her mind and briefly told them about Lin Ziqian’s cheating.
“That’s how it happened. I don’t know why he suddenly came over. The woman he hooked up with outside is called Wang Jiaojiao, the daughter of his company’s boss.” Wu Man’s gaze was a little erratic. “He wants to use this to get promoted. Everyone in the Lin family knows.”
Mother Wu and Father Wu were shocked. Wu Man even saw her father, who didn’t smoke much, trembling. He even took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, but he couldn’t touch the lighter for a long time.
Mother Wu was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Wu Man looked at her mother with a guilty conscience. She reached out and slowly moved her hand down her back. “I didn’t want to tell you about this at first. I was afraid that you would be too worried.” There was always a voice in her heart telling her not to trouble her parents. They had worked hard for half their lives and were already very tired. However, they could not help but let out all the grievances they had suffered outside under their concerned gazes.
Mother Wu came back to her senses. Her entire being was even slightly short of breath due to her anger. “We actually didn’t know about this… We actually didn’t know that the Lin family would actually act like this!”
“This is too much. They completely did not care about you.” Father Wu shook his hands and was so angry that his eyebrows were raised high. “Back then, when he was chasing you, he ran over and spoke so many good words! He even ran over today and was so attentive. This little b*stard!”
“Dad, Mom, don’t be too angry. You will hurt your body. You have to take care of yourself,” Wu Man couldn’t help but say. “I will handle this matter myself.”
“Daughter, the Lin family has already treated you like this. What are you going to do next?” The more Mother Wu thought about it, the angrier she got. As she spoke, her lips trembled. “The Lin family was heartless first. Mom supports all your decisions!”
Father Wu also said angrily, “If you’re willing to shed all pretense of cordiality with them now, Dad will make the decision for you..”
