Chapter 38: They Were Caught Red-Handed by Wu Ya

Wu Ya stormed back to her natal home in anger.

Lin Zhengmin was troubled inside and drank heavily during dinner.

After the meal, Lin Xuefei and Chen Ma helped him to his room.

Lin Xuefei said, “Chen Ma, you finish tidying up downstairs. I’ll take care of Dad.”

Chen Ma nodded, “Okay.”

The whole house felt tense the entire day.

She hurriedly finished cleaning, then went to her room to hide and find some peace.

After the others left, Lin Xuefei looked at Lin Zhengmin lying on the bed, her eyes full of inner conflict.

Finally, she bit her lip and began to undo her clothes…

…

Lin Zhengmin woke up thirsty in the middle of the night.

Feeling someone beside him, he pushed lightly:

“Wife, pour me some water.”

“Okay~”

A soft, husky voice replied.

But it wasn’t his wife’s voice.

Lin Zhengmin frowned.

He got up and turned on the bedside lamp, finally seeing the person clearly.

“Xuefei, why is it you?!”

His pupils widened in shock.

The girl’s skin was snowy white, with some marks on it—no need to guess what had happened earlier.

Lin Zhengmin couldn’t believe it—he was such a beast.

How could he face his wife in the future?!

“Dad, you were drunk last night. When I was taking care of you, you mistook me for Mom, sob sob,” Lin Xuefei said softly, clutching the blanket and crying pitifully.

“I’m sorry, Xuefei. It was my moment of impulse. Tell me what I can do to make it up to you,” Lin Zhengmin said with a troubled face, anxiously scratching his head.

Seeing his expression, a flash of satisfaction appeared in Lin Xuefei’s eyes.

She pitifully said, “Dad, I don’t want to turn myself in and go to jail. Please help me, okay?”

…

Early in the morning.

Lin Xiaodou was woken by the quarrel upstairs on the second floor.

Curious, she went upstairs and found out a shocking piece of news:

Lin Xuefei had actually slept with Lin Zhengmin!

Even Lin Xiaodou, who had been through many storms, was stunned by Lin Xuefei’s reckless behavior.

She had expected the fake heiress Lin Xuefei might do something impulsive.

But never imagined she would go this far.

She had clearly thought hard about not going to jail.

The two of them were speechless; after doing that, they were still lying under the same blanket.

And now, they were caught red-handed early in the morning by Wu Ya.

Fortunately, Chen Ma was on vacation yesterday, or this scandal would have been public knowledge.

At that moment, Wu Ya was about to tear Lin Xuefei’s hair when Lin Zhengmin stopped her.

Wu Ya scratched Lin Zhengmin’s face until it was a mess out of anger.

Lin Zhengmin didn’t hold back either, slapping her hard enough to daze her.

Wu Ya collapsed to the floor, covering her face and crying loudly:

“Lin Zhengmin, you bastard! You hit me for a cheap woman! We’ve been married all these years, is this how you treat me?!”

Lin Zhengmin said impatiently, “Enough! Stop whining. I’ve been annoyed by you, old hag, for a long time!”

When he learned about this in the middle of the night, he felt guilty.

But after Lin Xuefei comforted him, he calmed down.

Xuefei was right—the Lin family must have a son to carry on the family line.

Otherwise, all the family’s heritage would go to outsiders.

Lin Zhengmin had thought about finding someone outside many times.

But because his wife was too fierce and for the sake of his reputation, he held back.

Before discovering Xuefei’s true identity, he was content with having a well-behaved daughter.

But now that Xuefei wasn’t his biological child, and the biological one was unreliable…

If he got old without his own child, his later years would be miserable.

Besides, he was tired of his wife—how could an old hag compare to a young beauty like Xuefei?

After divorcing his wife, he planned to find a quiet place for Xuefei to live, let her have a child in a year or two.

He would tell everyone that Xuefei was married and her husband had died suddenly, leaving her with an orphaned child.

When the time was right, he’d bring Xuefei and the child back to live with him, and no one would say a thing.

As for Wu Ya, since she’d be in jail, she wouldn’t matter anymore.

That’s right—Lin Zhengmin planned to let Wu Ya take the blame for Xuefei.

Wu Ya’s natal family had some influence years ago but had fallen on hard times, relying on the Lin family’s support.

He could use this as leverage to make her obedient.

Lin Zhengmin’s plan was good, but he underestimated Wu Ya’s selfishness.

Compared to her natal family, she cared more about her own life.

“You want me to take the blame for that cheap woman Lin Xuefei? Dream on!” Wu Ya got up from the floor, hatred blazing in her eyes.

“I’ll go out now and let everyone see your true face. Let’s see how you’ll still have a place in Jing City!”

“You’re crazy!!” Lin Zhengmin grabbed her wrist tightly and said coldly,

“Have you thought about the consequences? If this gets out, not only will I be affected, you will be too!”

These days, extramarital affairs were severely punished, and people would spit on you and parade you through the streets.

And this was even worse than ordinary affairs.

Because his relationship with Xuefei…

When it comes out, not only will he lose his job, he might even end up in jail.

Wu Ya laughed bitterly, “You’re scared now, but you never thought about the consequences when you did it!”

Lin Zhengmin looked at her fiercely:

“I don’t care. You have to take the blame for Xuefei, or just wait and see!”
