59 Proof (1/2)

Searching for his wife in the whole house, Guan Dong finally found her on the rooftop of their mansion. Guan Mei was watering the plants of their rooftop garden while listening to classical music on the modern gramophone. She didn't like to wear headphones and instead prefer listening to open music like this.

When Guan Dong saw her like that, he knew she was trying to relax and calm her nerves as that was her usual ritual after their arguments. At first, he thought that maybe he should turn around and come back later but in the end, he decided to proceed with his plan.

With a recording of Wuxing's confession and their agreement, he approached her, walking normally, so she could hear he was coming. Without even turning around, Guan Mei called out, ”Don't bother me. I'm still mad at you and I don't want to argue anymore. Unless you came to apologize, I don't want to talk to you.”

Guan Dong obviously didn't listen to her and reached out, waving with his phone in front of her face as he said happily, ”I have proof.”

Guan Mei disregarded the phone and asked while glaring at her husband, ”What proof? You literally made your daughter hate us once again and you are still smiling. What is going on with you?” Guan Mei didn't tell her husband about her private call to Dongmei so he still thought that nothing changed from before.

Guan Dong just turned on the recording, giving her the phone without bothering about her rant and said, ”Take it and click play. You will know the whole truth about that guy our daughter likes. I told you he was just trying to take advantage of her.”

”Huh?” Hearing her husband while seeing him being all smiles and confident, Guan Mei couldn't help but get curious. From her talk with Wuxing, she knew he definitely wasn't a person like that. He was definitely scheming but he wouldn't use their daughter and that's why she trusted him.

When she played the recording, the phone call between Wuxing and her husband played starting from the moment Wuxing demanded one million. When Guan Dong listened to the whole conversation, she couldn't help but frown.

She somehow felt it was too sketchy and unreal to be true. It definitely didn't match with what Wuxing said to her during their conversation. Thinking about it for a while, she called out suspiciously, ”Where is the beginning of the conversation?” She knew that there had to be more to the story than just demands on Wuxing's side.

”All that matters is that he doesn't care about our daughter at all. All he wanted is money and to get out of the prison. For that, he needs our daughter help so he made her fall for him with sweet words. Can't you see that already?” Guan Dong shrugged as he explained the real matter his wife need to focus on.

Unfortunately, Guan Mei wouldn't give up when she smelled a good lead and asked loudly with a serious expression, ”I asked where is the whole conversation? I don't care what he said as long as I don't see the whole picture. Where is it? If you already deleted it then get out.”

”Honey…” Guan Dong smile disappeared from his face as he called out sweetly to her but Guan Mei only threw the phone over to him and returned to ignoring him, continuing to water her plants.

She knew that her husband was hiding something so she couldn't say anything yet. He could always threaten Wuxing into that statement with death or something even worse so there was hard to believe this short clip.

Seeing that he got a different reaction than he expected, Guan Dong couldn't help but sigh, cursing Wuxing in his mind. Even after the deal was over, he was still causing problems for him.

Feeling that he had no choice anymore, he found the file that he previously hid on the phone and gave it to his wife, muttering annoyed, ”Fine. Here. You wanted the whole recording then listen.”

Guan Mei immediately took the phone and played it. This time the conversation started with Wuxing's polite greeting and her husband anger which made her nod, confirming the authenticity of the recording.

Just as she thought, there was much more to it than Guan Dong tried to show her and she finally understood the whole situation. Connecting Wuxing's words she now knew that her husband was led by Wuxing the whole conversation. Maybe he didn't realise it, but Wuxing was definitely planning something.

'The first part of the conversation clearly showed that Wuxing actually cares about Dongmei but the only way to get her would be leaving the prison and proving himself outside. Only by becoming famous and having a good career would he have the qualities to take Dongmei as his wife. He is smart so he knows it. He probably discussed it with Dongmei beforehand and they will be scheming to get him as much time as possible for him to succeed.' Guan Mei thought in her mind as she analyzed the situation.

Seeing that his wife was contemplating the situation, Guan Dong added his explanation, ”I know my behaviour was questionable at the start, but in the end, it all goes down to the final agreement which Wuxing agreed to. He will leave our daughter alone for money. There is no way we can let such man stay with her.”
