Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 610: The Gentleman Won’t Be Coming Back Tonight_1

Qi Cheng’s second brother heard the commotion and came over. Seeing what was going on, he quickly walked over to observe his second sister-in-law. "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine. I don’t know if the baby is okay, though."

Fortunately, Lin Xiang acted late. If she had pushed her a bit earlier, she would have fallen from such a high staircase and surely died.

Qi Cheng’s second brother gave Lin Xiang a harsh glare, then he held his second sister-in-law and walked into the empty room next door, placing her on the bed as the doctor arrived.

After examining her, the doctor said, "She’s fine for now, and the fetus is unharmed. Still, it’s best to keep an eye on her."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Cheng’s second sister-in-law had waited many years for this child. If she had lost it, who knows how heartbroken she would be.

As for Lin Xiang, who had done such a thing, Qi Family’s mother found it incomprehensible. She had already had Lin Xiang brought to the room next door. After confirming that Qi Cheng’s second sister-in-law was fine, Qi Family’s mother went to find Lin Xiang.

Seeing Qi Family’s mother come in, Lin Xiang looked down and said, aggrieved, "I’m sorry, Auntie. I acted on impulse."

Qi Family’s mother did not soften in the face of her apology. She sat down nearby. Before long, Lin Xiang’s parents came in from outside. Seeing the serious atmosphere, Lin Xiang’s mother couldn’t help but ask, "What’s going on here?"

Qi Family’s mother had called them. Seeing Lin Xiang’s parents, she coldly said, "Look at what a good daughter you raised. Shi Xuan is pregnant, and she pushed Shi Xuan down the stairs."

Qi Family’s mother’s cold demeanor made Lin Xiang’s parents look at Lin Xiang again. Seeing their daughter’s aggrieved expression, Lin Xiang’s father couldn’t believe she would do such a thing. "Is there some misunderstanding?"

"A misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding could there be? I saw her push her with my own eyes. In a place as crowded as this, she could still do such a thing. Who knows what else she might do in secret." The most regrettable thing for Qi Family’s mother was that she had once thought Lin Xiang was a good girl and had tried to pair her with Qi Cheng. Fortunately, Qi Cheng didn’t agree at that time. Otherwise, the whole Qi Family would have been thrown into chaos by her.

Faced with the angry Qi Family’s mother, Lin Xiang’s mother could only turn to her daughter. "Did you really do this?"

Lin Xiang knew that denying it any longer would be useless, so she tried to justify herself. "I was just angry."

"Angry! Angry! How could you do such a thing?" Lin Xiang’s mother was extremely upset. She walked over and slapped Lin Xiang twice, sparing her face but hitting her body directly. "Why do you only learn the bad things? How did I teach you at home? Did I teach you to do this?"

Qi Family’s mother said from the side, "This child needs a good lesson. When she was engaged to Qi Cheng, I thought she was a good kid and felt guilty for Qi Cheng letting her down. I didn’t expect her to do such a thing."

Lin Xiang’s father said, "It’s my fault for not disciplining her well, causing concerns for our in-laws."

"In-laws? I’d never dare to accept such a woman into my family again." Qi Family’s mother glared at Lin Xiang, unable to calm down.

Qi Family’s father’s position was higher than Lin Xiang’s father’s, making Lin Xiang’s father feel humble before him. Moreover, Qi Family’s mother was naturally strong-willed, so Lin Xiang’s mother couldn’t stand up to her. Now, with the grandfather being ill and nobody to pamper the Lin Family, Qi Family’s mother had the final say.

Lin Xiang’s father said with regret, "I’ll take Lin Xiang home and discipline her properly. She was just not thinking straight. I’ll make her apologize to her second sister-in-law."

"No need to apologize. Just take her home and discipline her well. If it weren’t for the sake of all these years of friendship, I wouldn’t let her off so easily today." Qi Family’s mother’s expression remained stern.

"Yes, yes." With them being in the wrong, Lin Xiang’s parents could only agree, quickly taking Lin Xiang away.

On the way home, Lin Xiang couldn’t stop crying.

...

Knowing that Zhou Yixiu would be coming back in the evening, Zhen Yu was preparing dinner. She wore an apron, embodying the image of a virtuous wife and mother. A servant came in with a phone and said to her, "Madam, there’s a call for you. It’s from the third young lady."

Zhen Yu transferred the contents of the pot to a plate before leaning against the counter to answer the call. "Lin Xiang."

"Second sister." Lin Xiang’s crying voice came through. Zhen Yu asked worriedly, "What’s wrong?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Mom and Dad hit me." Lin Xiang tearfully recounted what happened that day. At this moment, the only person she could complain to was Zhen Yu. After all, her eldest sister had married many years ago and rarely contacted the family.

After hearing Lin Xiang’s story, Zhen Yu could only say helplessly, "If you wanted to mess with her, it didn’t have to be in front of so many people. That was too impulsive."

"It’s not that she made me so angry. How was I supposed to know she was pregnant?"

"Without knowing if it was true or not, you’ve ended up hurting yourself first. I’m also at a loss for what to say. Your brother-in-law is coming home for dinner today. I have to go."

"Alright." Lin Xiang said through sobs.

Zhen Yu hung up and continued with her tasks.

Before long, the servant returned. "Madam, Mr. Zhou called and said he won’t be coming home tonight."

The spatula Zhen Yu was holding dropped to the floor. Her eyes widened. "Did he say anything else?"

"Nothing."

Hearing this, Zhen Yu lost all interest in cooking. She walked out of the kitchen, tearing off her apron. "I’ve been looking forward to this, and he just decides not to come. Has he considered my feelings?"

The servant, who had been with Zhen Yu for a long time, spoke up, "Maybe the master is very busy."

"Busy? When is he not busy? Do others not get busy? Don’t others make time for their wives? Even if he doesn’t eat, he still has needs, right?" Zhen Yu was really angry. Zhou Yixiu hadn’t been intimate with her for a long time.

The servant, looking at Zhen Yu, added, "I also find the master’s behavior abnormal. A normal man in his early thirties should be at his peak. Yet, our master shows no interest at all."

"He’s definitely seeing another woman." Zhen Yu was furious. Regrettably, she’d been investigating this secretly but still found no evidence.

So, she kept comforting herself that Zhou Yixiu just wasn’t interested, not that he had another woman outside. After all, she had confidence in her own body. She was so beautiful. There was no reason for Zhou Yixiu to abandon her for other women.

The servant said, "I have a cousin who works at a villa in Huai Xi. She said Mr. Zhou recently brought a woman there, and she had a child."

The villa in Huai Xi was one of Zhou Yixiu’s secret residences. Very few people knew about it.
