309 Reunion 4 (1/2)
”I happened to see them by chance. I really hit the roof when I found out. But then again, isn't it common for wealthy men to have affairs and keep mistresses? Thus, I decided to curb my urge to look for her and give her a warning. I've never seen her again since then,” Chi Rui'er explained.
Both Chi Rui'er and Gu Dongcheng then returned after having their statements recorded at the police station.
Once they got into the car, Gu Dongcheng again questioned, ”You really weren't the one behind it?”
”Must I kill her just because you two were having an affair? You need evidence before jumping to conclusions,” Chi Rui'er scorned.
”That'd better be the case. If you were the culprit, the police will find out sooner or later. There's no way you can escape the law,” Gu Dongcheng warned.
Chi Rui'er snapped in fury, ”I said it wasn't me! Could you have more trust in me, your wife?”
Gu Dongcheng did not respond and instead began driving home.
Chi Rui'er looked out of the window, filled with a mix of emotions.
As soon as they arrived home, Chi Rui'er noticed how unconcerned Gu Dongcheng was towards her child. She lifted the child into her arms and carried him towards the bedroom.
”Let your father carry you,” said Chi Rui'er as she cast the child onto the bed.
The child laid in Gu Dongcheng's embrace, saliva drooling from his mouth.
Gu Dongcheng lifted the child in his arms and began teasing and playing with him.
”I married you and bore you a son. Yet, you actually had an affair. Gu Dongcheng, you've really let me down,” Chi Rui'er chastised while standing by the side.
”You've brought this up time and time again. Are you finished yet?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”If you dare have another affair again, I'll tell your son about your shameless acts when he's old enough to understand what's going on. I suppose you don't wish your son to have a bad impression of you, do you?” Chi Rui'er threatened.
Gu Dongcheng let out a long sigh and retorted, ”If you had been understanding and caring towards me, would I resort to having an affair? Reflect on your mistakes before criticizing others.”
”Wow, that's what all adulterers say. All they do is find excuses for themselves. Just admit that you enjoy fooling around, don't push the blame on me.”
”I can't communicate with you at all.”
”…”
Chi Rui'er glared at him, filled with disdain and annoyance.
Mrs. Chi gently pushed the door open and called, ”Rui'er? Come out, Mother has something to ask you.”
”Okay.”
She turned around to leave the room and entered Mrs. Chi's bedroom.
Once the door was closed, Mrs. Chi asked softly, ”What did the police call you for?”
”They wanted to ask some questions, but I just covered up with some lies. Mother, you have to remain tight-lipped. As long as you do, the police won't be able to find out much.”
”Yes, I'm just worried.”
”What are you worried about? I'm not worried at all. Mother, there are a bunch of aunties who practice line-dancing below our estate everyday. You should go join them and have some fun too,” Chi Rui'er said smilingly.
”I'll just have a look and watch them dance. I can't dance myself.”
”You may chit-chat with those aunties and uncles whenever you're free. Otherwise, you'd be pretty lonely.”
”You're my only daughter. I'll be happy as long as you're living well,” Mrs. Chi said unhurriedly.
Chi Rui'er nodded and said, ”I will live well, even if it's just for your sake.”

An Xiaoning woke up with a slight tummy ache.
The pain in her leg wound had alleviated significantly.
She supported herself up with a torchlight in her hand and proceeded to break the cemented wall with the digging tools.
In order to get out as soon as possible, she toiled and moiled continuously without breaks.
She thought that it would not take much effort since the wall should not be too thick. However, due to the freezing temperature during wintertime, the cement and ground had hardened, which made it more difficult for her to work.
