Chapter 397 - 397: Wearing a Green Hat?
Who would have thought!
Qin Feng entered the bedroom only to find it empty; Xu Yunxiao was not there.
The bed was perfectly made, with the quilt neatly arranged.
"How odd. The next concert is still days away; she should be at home. Where on earth could she have gone?"
Qin Feng was brimming with confusion.
He tried calling Xu Yunxiao, only to find her phone was turned off.
"Where could she go in the middle of the night?"
As Qin Feng was muttering to himself, he suddenly heard a scream.
He went to check.
It turns out Mother-in-law Li Cuilan was sleeping, and because she hadn't locked the door, the white monkey had broken in, scaring her so much that she ran out without getting dressed!
"Ah—!!"
Upon seeing Qin Feng, Li Cuilan was startled, quickly grabbing a blanket to cover herself while cursing, "Depraved, shameful, you dead hooligan!!"
"..."
Qin Feng was speechless.
It was his eyes that were suffering, after all.
He hurriedly closed his eyes, saying, "No good, I need to wash my eyes..."
"You, you bastard!!"
Li Cuilan, furious, yelled and instructed Xu Guosheng to hit Qin Feng, "That hooligan, to do such a thing, go and slap him right away!"
Xu Guosheng, aware of the situation, comforted her, "Okay, okay, just go back to your room and get dressed!"
Seeing his reaction, Li Cuilan complained in frustration, "How did I end up with such a spineless, useless husband? Your wife got molested and you're still so weak!"
"..."
Xu Guosheng felt very vexed.
After a moment.
All the lights in the villa were turned on, and Mother-in-law Li Cuilan, having confirmed that it was just a monkey that had barged into her room, finally calmed down and said to Qin Feng, "Is this the monkey you brought here?"
"Yeah!" Qin Feng replied.
"Get rid of this thing at once!" Li Cuilan demanded.
Upon hearing this, the white monkey gave a hiss and leaped onto her head, scratching furiously, messing up her hair into a bird's nest.
She hurriedly grabbed a weapon and chased after the white monkey, cursing and beating it.
But the white monkey was no ordinary primate and certainly not easy for any human to catch. After being chased around for most of the night, she was too tired to continue and finally stopped.
But she didn't dare say anything more and stopped calling on Qin Feng to throw it out.
During the chase, whenever she said something nasty, the white monkey would scratch at her head.
"By the way, where's Yunxiao?"
Qin Feng asked.
It was already one or two in the early morning, and there was still no sign of his wife.
"What do you think?"
Li Cuilan gave him a look, then a hint of smugness crept onto the corner of her mouth as she said, "I should tell you in advance that I didn't meddle in your affairs this time; it's your own lack of ability that someone ran off with your wife, you can't blame others."
"What?!"
Qin Feng was slightly stunned.
Ran off with someone else, what does that mean?
"You still don't know, do you?"
Li Cuilan's mouth curved into a smug smile as she said, "My daughter is the belle of Lake City; there are too many people chasing after her. You might as well just accept your fate! Otherwise, wearing a green hat will not be pleasant; it's a big blow to your dignity."
"What happened exactly?" Qin Feng frowned.
"Isn't what I've said clear enough? You figure out the rest!" Li Cuilan said before yawning and returning to her room with Xu Guosheng to sleep.
"..."
Qin Feng was bewildered.
From the implication in his mother-in-law's words, did Yunxiao cheat on him?
Impossible!
Yunxiao was simply not that kind of person.
There had to be some misunderstanding. He'd ask her for clarification tomorrow.
The next day.
The breeze was gentle and the sky was clear.
Qin Feng was groggily awakened by the noise of his mother-in-law Li Cuilan and White Monkey outside.
It turned out that last night White Monkey used his mother-in-law's freshly washed underwear as a cloth to wipe his hands, infuriating Li Cuilan who was now chasing it around the courtyard.
Seeing this, Qin Feng smiled and felt it was for the better, saving him the trouble of his mother-in-law always finding excuses to bother him.
He left the villa.
He hurried towards Shuimu Company.
He knew Xu Yunxiao was a workaholic, and if nothing was up, she would definitely be at the company.
Upon entering the office building.
Qin Feng noticed many employees whispering and snickering at him.
Different from the usual ridicule about him being a loser.
This time the mockery was even harsher.
He overheard a few people by the elevator saying, "Look, President Xu's loser husband has shown up, can't believe he still has the face to come here."
"If I were him, I would've shrunk my head long ago and dared not show my face."
"It was bound to happen anyways, he's not a match for President Xu, it was only a matter of time before he got cuckholded."
"Yeah! Such a disgrace!"
"..."
Cuckolded?
Qin Feng listened to their words, puzzled.
He decided to head straight for Xu Yunxiao's office.
Xu Yunxiao's assistant saw him, her eyes filled with mockery, but she didn't dare to voice it. Find the translation on MV&LEMPYR.
Qin Feng didn't bother with her.
Upon entering the office.
Qin Feng saw Xu Yunxiao sleeping on the desk, walked over, and gently draped his coat over her.
At that moment.
Xu Yunxiao opened her eyes and woke up.
Seeing it was Qin Feng, she paused for a moment, then immediately burst into tears.
"Wife, what's wrong?"
Qin Feng asked in concern.
With her eyes red, Xu Yunxiao said, "Qin Feng, you must believe me, I am absolutely not that kind of person, you must believe me!"
"Of course I believe you, tell me what exactly is going on?" Qin Feng asked.
As it happens.
Ever since Xu Yunxiao returned from Yanjing the other day, Lake City has been abuzz with rumors of her affair.
Saying that the reason she has reached her position today is because she cheated with both the boss of Haohan Company and the owner of Wanfu Building, someone even specifically analyzed in Lake City's forums how Xu Yunxiao had been particularly favored by those two bosses several times.
For example, in the cooperation between the Xu family and Haohan Company, instead of choosing the capable Xu Changjian, they insisted on picking her, even threatening the Xu family for her sake and so on.
For instance, her numerous special treatments at Wanfu Building.
With the status of the Xu family, they couldn't possibly reserve a banquet hall, but it was all thanks to her connections, even to the point of having the bills waived several times.
Moreover.
Her Mercedes-Benz S450 and the newly purchased Bentley Mulsanne and so forth, were all bought by those two bosses.
The most convincing evidence was that she was living in villa No.1 at Cloud Peak.
Living in villa No.1 symbolized the highest status in the whole Lake City.
How did she deserve to live there?
The only possibility was that villa No.1 wasn't hers; she was being kept!
Surely.
There had been rumors and slanders about all these before.
But they were only discussed on a small scale and Xu Yunxiao never took them seriously.
Unexpectedly, after coming back from Yanjing, it spread all over the internet, the entire Lake City was talking about it.
What made her unable to face others was that, in addition to the rumors about her and the two bosses, the "exposé" also involved her having inappropriate relationships with many men!
Even a few photos of her entering and exiting hotels with different men, and several were stolen shots of them kissing.
Including the bosses of Haohan and Wanfu Building, she was allegedly involved with eleven men in total.
Each one with seemingly legitimate evidence!
In no time.
She went from the number one beauty of Lake City to the most promiscuous woman, becoming the laughingstock of the entire Lake City…
