I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating-Chapter 90 - He was Afraid That His Stepmother Would Cry

He did not know how a woman would react if she knew that her husband was having an affair with another woman. He quietly walked upstairs like a thief, trying to make sure that he did not make any noise to attract Xiang Xiaoyuan’s attention.

The incident was caused by his father, and it had nothing to do with him. He hoped that the quarrel between the two of them would not implicate him, the innocent fish in the pond.

During dinner, Lu Bei had no choice but to face Xiang Xiaoyuan.

He looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan who was gnawing on the ribs fiercely. She was not as talkative as before, and she seemed to have something on her mind.

Xiang Xiaoyuan thought about why the ribs were so chewy today as she gnawed on the ribs. At the same time, she thought about the phone call she received today.

The person who called was a beautiful woman she met on the road the last time. The beautiful woman asked if she still wanted to work as a part-time translator at the previous company. If it were before, Xiang Xiaoyuan would definitely agree. But now, she was a little hesitant. She felt that with her current situation, the future of her business was still very bright. Being her own boss was much better than working for others, so, did she still want to work part-time? Wouldn’t it be a bit of a waste of time?

She wanted to go. She wanted to meet more people and make more friends, but she didn’t really want to go. It was very tiring to adapt to a new environment.

She had recently gotten used to her leisurely days, which caused her to be so conflicted when a job was within reach.

Her mind was completely focused on whether she should go and take a part-time job, so she didn’t notice Lu Bei observing her.

After dinner, Xiang Xiaoyuan went upstairs with a weary expression. Not long after, it was time for Lu Wanggui to get off work.

To be fair, Lu Bei really did not want to get involved in their matters. Firstly, he had no control over his father’s matters. Secondly, Xiang Xiaoyuan was his stepmother. When his biological mother had a conflict with her previous husband, he did not even think about it. There was no need for him to change his attitude when it came to his biological father and stepmother.

But now that he was at home, what if the two of them quarreled? Should he intervene or not? Lu Bei was conflicted and decided to go out for some peace and quiet.

When Lu Bei went downstairs, he happened to bump into Lu Wanggui, who had just returned from work. The father and son’s eyes met, and Lu Bei quickly moved away.

Lu Wanggui asked, “You’re going out so late?”

“Yes.”

Lu Bei’s brain raced to find an excuse. “I am going out for a run. I ate too much tonight.”

Lu Wanggui gave a rare compliment. “Not bad. You know how to exercise.”

Lu Bei: “…”

“Be careful.”

Before he left, Lu Wanggui reminded him.

Lu Bei looked like he was being chased by someone. He changed into his shoes as fast as he could and left the house. Perhaps it was psychological, but he felt that the air was much fresher the moment he walked out of the house.

At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated a few times. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Wei Zihang.

Wei Zihang: [ Brother Bei, brother Bei! ]

Wei Zihang: [ Did your stepmother see the message on Weibo? ]

Wei Zihang: [ Did the two of them fight? ]

Lu Bei was speechless. It seemed that everyone had seen the gossip on Weibo.

He replied: [ I don’t know, I ran out. ]

Wei Zihang: [ Ah, that’s such a pity! ]

Wei Zihang: [ Brother Bei, don’t you want to see your father being questioned? Will he explain himself to your stepmother? ]

Wei Zihang was very curious. If he was not too afraid of Uncle Lu, he would have already rushed to the Lu family’s villa to watch the battle of the century.

Hmm, would Uncle Lu do what his parents did when they were arguing? He would take out the washing board and kneel on it. Then, he would swear to the heavens that he did not do anything wrong to brother Bei’s stepmother?

Just thinking about that scene made him excited!

It was such a pity that he did not dare to watch it. On the other hand, Lu Bei, who lived in the villa, actually ran away and missed this rare scene of the century!

Lu Bei sneered. Did he think he did not want to watch? He really wanted to see his father suffer, but he was also afraid of hearing his stepmother’s cries.

In any case, there was no way to control parents’ quarrels. He could not help his father, nor could he help his stepmother. He would temporarily stay away and let the adults handle their own matters.

He only hoped that his father was a man and that he could solve this crisis!

If even Lu Bei, who was not interested in gossip and entertainment news, knew about this incident, then the others had long known about it and started a heated discussion.

The school teachers also had their own chat groups. They talked about everything from all over the world. At this moment, they were discussing the matter between Lu Wanggui and Lin Siqing.

Two years ago, Lu Wanggui’s luxury car was parked in front of Lin Siqing’s apartment. Lin Siqing even bent down to talk to the person in the car. Although the photo did not capture the person in the luxury car, it did capture the license plate number and model of the luxury car.f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦
