Chapter 423 - It Wasnt Me! (1/2)
Wang Luo Hai sighed when he heard the question. He didn't know how to answer Yao Ying because it was painful for him as well! He could merely say, ”This isn't the first time she has done this kind of thing...”
Yao Ying looked at him in surprise, ”And, you let her be?!” He didn't mean to judge Wang Luo Hai, but in his eyes, the latter was a wise man and honestly... wasn't stupid... but why did he keep such a vicious woman beside him all this time if he already knew that she wasn't as nice as how she looked like on the surface?
Wang Luo Hai didn't want to say anything else to divulge the truth. ”You will know after we find the evidence and confront her later... I'm also feeling tired of protecting her...” Wang Luo Hai finally admitted. He wasn't a patient person, to begin with, but for her, he had been holding himself back for several times. However, she went too far this time...
It seemed like there was no need for him to protect her anymore...
When he knew that Wang Luo Hai didn't want to tell him, Yao Ying didn't force him --- after all, this was indeed his private matter. As his son, he couldn't meddle in that matter as well... Thus, he could only nod his head --- it was up to Wang Luo Hai how he wanted to deal with Madam Wang.
He asked because he was merely curious about the reason. Love? Errr... he doubted it because he knew that Wang Luo Hai was still in love with Jiu Lan even after so much time had passed. He could see it from his eyes when he knew that Yao Ling was Jiu Lan's adopted daughter.
Once they finished their talk, they went out of the side room.
Madam Wang was sweating badly and wondered what they were talking about. They didn't know that it was her, right? She couldn't let Wang Luo Hai know! She quickly went to Wang Luo Hai and asked in a soft voice. She was fluttering her eyelashes at him in a tempting way and asked, ”Husband... what are you talking about?”
Just like what Yao Ling had predicted before, the more people panicked, the more they would behave out of character. Madam Wang was generally an aloof person who rarely meddled in Wang Luo Hai's business --- besides, she must have known that they were talking about the case, so it wasn't her position to ask about this matter...
Wang Luo Hai merely looked at her with a hint of disgust in his eyes. However, Madam Wang wasn't able to see the disgust, but she was still feeling uncomfortable with the way he looked at her... ”Wh -- What?” She asked in a low voice.
”Nothing...” Wang Luo Hai turned his gaze away and said once more, ”There's no need for you to know. It's about work-related matters. Just deal with your own job... shouldn't you calm down the others first?”
Madam Wang flinched for being rebuked just like that but she still smiled amiably. ”Yes, Husband. I will do my job...” Even if she was angry, she couldn't show it. Indeed, she had forgotten to behave just like usual. She should have appeased the matriarch and the concubines, but she was too scared and forgot about it...
Once Wang Luo Hai used work as a reason, Madam Wang knew that there was no chance for her to know what they were talking about. At least, it was better than talking about this case. She thought that she was clever enough and thought that she didn't need to hide the needle.
She quickly went over to the matriarch and said in a soft apologetic tone, ”Mother, I'm sorry. I'm just too shocked just now and not doing my job really well...”
The matriarch patted the back of Madam Wang's hand, knowing that this wasn't time to throw a tantrum. Even though she was feeling dissatisfied with Madam Wang, she didn't let it show on her face. However, she didn't bother to talk to her, only nodding her head in acknowledgment.
