Bai Fanglan was about to get out of bed when Wang Hu stopped her: "She’s asleep, don’t rush."
While at her parents’ home, her grandfather had never lost his temper because of her attitude, and she wasn’t disciplined by her parents either, leading her to become quite willful over time. Initially, she was very reserved at Wang Hu’s family home, but her mood has been poor lately, making it hard for her to control herself.
"Mom means we should move out."
Bai Fanglan suddenly lifted her head: "Is mom really angry? Does she want us to divorce?" Her breathing became rapid, her vision going black. She clutched Wang Hu’s wrist: "Don’t divorce me, I don’t want to..."
"No, don’t get excited, calm down, we’ll move out together. Mom’s health isn’t great, we’ll live outside for a while. When you have the baby, she’ll still take care of you, and I’ll find a nanny at that time, don’t worry. I won’t divorce you," Wang Hu hurriedly said.
Bai Fanglan finally sighed with relief. As long as there wasn’t a divorce, leaving here wasn’t a big deal; she could just stay at her parents’ home for a while.
Wang Hu said, "Let’s discuss this tomorrow. Right now, there’s someone named Yuan Bing waiting outside. Do you want to see him? He says he knows you." He finished and seriously observed his wife’s expression, noticing a trace of something indeed.
"What did you say?" Bai Fanglan’s face turned pale with disbelief: "You said Yuan Bing came here? How could this happen!" That bastard actually did this! I’ve already forgiven his crimes, yet he still won’t let me go!
Wang Hu was moved inside; it seemed his wife knew this man, but probably wasn’t friends with him. Then could he be an enemy?
"What exactly happened? Your face doesn’t look well."
"Nothing, nothing happened. I won’t see him, please help me drive him away," Bai Fanglan said anxiously.
Wang Hu said: "I haven’t let him in, but he said he lent you ten thousand yuan, claiming it was urgent. He’s asking when you can repay him; did you do some business, or something else?"
Bai Fanglan shuddered all over, her fingernails piercing into her flesh, looking both sad and furious. Clearly, she’s the victim, but why does he keep entangling with her and even demand ten thousand yuan?
She clenched her teeth and said, "I didn’t borrow money, he’s a thug!"
"But he seems very sure. Is there really nothing between you?" Wang Hu asked.
Bai Fanglan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, my grandfather once had him do some bad things. He’s trying to blackmail me. He said before, if I don’t give him money, he’ll claim I’m his woman and accuse me of being unclean with him. I was so angry then that I fought him and got beaten. Don’t ever believe a bastard like that!"
Wang Hu frowned, remembering how Bai Chuan once falsely accused Gu Junming for his own good. He went to Beijing to study because of that incident. It’s conceivable Bai Chuan wasn’t a stranger to doing such improper things, so encountering a thug isn’t surprising.
Is this failing to extort the old man, and now trying to extort Bai Fanglan? He believed her words.
"How did he find you?"
Yuan Bing’s face dropped instantly: "Are you kidding? Does this woman dare to deny it?"
Wang Hu coldly stared at him: "You say my wife owes money and won’t repay, why don’t you show an IOU? You can’t just claim it with no evidence, and I have to hand you ten thousand yuan. It’s not like you’re my brother-in-law!" Seeing Yuan Bing’s face turning pale, Wang Hu continued: "If you demand money without evidence, I’ll charge you with extortion."
"I’m not extorting! Your shameless wife seduced me and my friends. When she was in Shenzhen, she slept with both of us!" Yuan Bing angrily revealed the truth.
"Nonsense! How dare you slander my wife?" Wang Hu was so furious that the veins on his forehead bulged: "We’re going to the police station to clear this up right now!"
Yuan Bing was startled. He didn’t want to go to the police side, knowing how many records he had there; going wouldn’t end well!
"I’m telling the truth! We both slept with her together! Your wife is just a slut!"
But Wang Hu sneered, delivering a punch to Yuan Bing’s face. Unprepared, Yuan Bing fell to the ground, his nose gushing blood uncontrollably. He coughed a few times, shouting angrily, "Your wife’s cheating on you and you hit me? Are you a man?"
Wang Hu said with a dark expression, "What kind of character thing are you? My wife couldn’t possibly like someone like you!"
Though Bai Fanglan didn’t understand much, she still had the pride of a noble family lady, so there’s no way she’d mix with such a thug.
