My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 138
Chapter 138 Caught in the Act
“Stop dreaming. Let’s move! Otherwise, it’d be too late…” Jiang Wenwen was so anxious she didn’t finish her sentence, and she agitatedly seized Mu Yu’s hand.
Upon hesitation, Mu Yu seemingly made up her mind. “Wenwen, let’s go.”
“Alright! Great! You must show him who’s the boss later…” As Jiang Wenwen rolled up her sleeves, she saw Mu Yu walking in a different direction and quickly called out to her, “Hey, have you lost your way? The owner said it’s this way!”
“Let them be.” Mu Yu shook off her hand and walked away in low spirits.
“Yu! Mu Yu!” Jiang Wenwen stood firmly in her way. “If you turn a blind eye to his action, he will surely do it again.”
“His business is none of my concern.”
“How is his business none of your concern? He is your husband! The both of you are legally married!” Jiang Wenwen was exasperated when she saw through her friend’s dismay. “You’re his legitimate wife. Plus, Grandpa has your back. So, what is there to be afraid of? If I were you, I would just go up there and rough up the mistress before taking him home. Then, I would warn him to behave and never fool around ever again!”
“I’m tired of all this.” Mu Yu let out a sigh, revealing a helpless expression. “Actually, you and I know that our marriage doesn’t really mean anything at all.”
“Why did you say so? Stop treating yourself as a wife betrothed to him, alright? The both of you are now husband and wife legally. The betrothal contract that both of you signed long ago was no longer valid, and now you’re not his betrothed wife, but his legitimate wife by law. Therefore, you’re entitled to all rights a wife should have by law! Now, it’s him who is unfaithful to the marriage, so you have the absolute right to stop him from destroying your marriage!”
It was only now that Jiang Wenwen finally knew where things stood between Mu Yu and Qin Jinhuan, which included his recent attitude toward Mu Yu. Nonetheless, she still believed that Qin Jinhuan was indeed in love with Mu Yu. As for the women around him, she wasn’t surprised, for she deemed it was something common among the rich. Because of that, she tried her best to convince Mu Yu to win Qin Jinhuan back.
“It’s meaningless doing that.”
Despite Mu Yu’s headstrong attitude, she couldn’t stop herself from glancing at the building that the stall owner pointed at.
Although she was still mad at Qin Jinhuan these few days, she didn’t intentionally avoid him besides keeping away from his office. Yet it was indeed true that they hadn’t seen each other as often as the last two days. As Wen Zeyu said, Qin Jinhuan had been busy for the past two days.
Nevertheless, she didn’t believe Wen Zeyu’s words. No matter how much of a sweet-talker Wen Zeyu might be, he was Qin Jinhuan’s brother, after all, in which he would always take his side.
Regardless of how busy Qin Jinhuan might be at work, he would still need to sleep. Both of them worked in the same company in the day, and slept in the same bed at night, yet it almost felt like she didn’t see him at all. She couldn’t help but find it odd.
However, she didn’t want to get to the bottom of the truth.
Deep down, she didn’t want to face the grim reality because she didn’t believe Qin Jinhuan was truly busy but rather acting indifferent toward her.
If a man truly loved a woman, he would find time to meet her no matter how busy he was.
She thought it was only a matter of time that her troubled marriage would come to an end. Therefore, she didn’t want to go upstairs and make a fool of herself.
“Yu! Stop overthinking! Have some confidence in yourself, alright? Grow a spine!”
Jiang Wenwen knew what was on Mu Yu’s mind, but she refused to let her leave; instead, she grabbed hold of her. “I must see that b*tch for myself and teach her a lesson to never play around with other married men again.”
Mu Yu didn’t tell her about Yin Anran.
Mu Yu staggered while keeping up with her pace. Then, she bitterly smiled and said, “It takes two to tango, Qin Jinhuan…”
“That’s enough. Stop blaming Young Master Qin. Are you saying you’re not at fault at all? If you had been more aggressive, treated Young Master Qin more gently and dressed yourself up more often to look more likable, I’m certain Young Master would have treated you differently in return. Not every man is motivated by lust, yet lust can cloud their judgment. Apart from that, every time something goes wrong between you and Young Master Qin, you either make a wild guess and not confront him, or you aren’t willing to listen to his explanation at all. This is an irrational and irresponsible act to both yourself and Young Master Qin. Do you know that?”
“I did try confronting him, but he always brushes me off with replies that either embarrassed or upset me,” Mu Yu argued.
“Alright, then. Despite those unsatisfactory answers, did you insist on getting an explanation from him?”
“Was it necessary?”
“Of course, it was! Anyway, let’s put that aside first. Now is not the time for self-reflection. Your current priority is to let Young Master Qin know that you’ve found out about his double life. Besides, you need to make sure he knows you’re mad about it so that he is aware of the seriousness of this matter!”
During their conversation, Jiang Wenwen had already dragged Mu Yu to the stairs. After carefully looking at their surroundings, she exclaimed in surprise, “Shouldn’t Young Master Qin have picked a mansion for his affair? It should have been at least a high-end suite downtown, shouldn’t it? Why would he pick a dilapidated place like this?”
She was right that this place was dilapidated, for it was an old building from a few decades ago. There was no elevator in the building, even the stairs were pitted and uneven. Besides, the walls were overgrown with moss and pasted with advertisement flyers, while the stairs were filled with stenches of urine.
Mu Yu noticed what her friend pointed out and started to find it strange as well. However, she soon pouted. “Paparazzi won’t come to a place like this, making it a perfect hideout for cover.”
Jiang Wenwen shook her head in disagreement. “I think I might have misunderstood Young Master Qin. That woman might just be a friend and that he was probably just walking her home…”
“A friend? I don’t think so. It’s obvious that the woman is his mistress,” Mu Yu stated angrily before she headed upstairs.
“Yu, slow down! Hey, don’t do anything silly. Wait for me.” Due to the pitted stairs, Jiang Wenwen cautiously trod her steps in her heels.
“It’ll be alright. I’ll find unit 701.” After assuring her friend, Mu Yu, who was wearing sneakers, sped up.
Since they had entered the building, she decided to knock on the door.
Jiang Wenwen was right. She was still Qin Jinhuan’s wife, and she had the right to hold him responsible for his unfaithful act.
She wanted to hear an explanation from Qin Jinhuan, who had been denying his relationship with Yin Anran.
Mu Yu, you need to stay calm.
You need to keep calm even if Qin Jinhuan admits his love for Yin Anran in front of her later. However, in that case, you will not give him another chance or hold back for anyone. Then, you will prepare your household registration documents and marriage certificate to divorce him the next day.
He is just one man. Therefore, it’s no big deal.
Moreover, it may not be a bad thing to leave him.
Upon arriving at the doorstep of unit 701, Mu Yu, who already had a plan on how to deal with her husband, decisively knocked on the door. Then, she stood straight and stared at the door with a sullen look.
Soon after, the door was open, and out came Qin Jinhuan.
Qin Jinhuan, who was initially calm, was taken aback when he saw her.
“What brings you here?”
Mu Yu, who had already expected to see him, calmly asked, “Is this your new home?”
“No, it isn’t.”
“If it isn’t your new home, then why are you here?”
“I…”
“Jinhuan, should I take my medicine or take a shower first?” Qin Jinhuan’s words were suddenly interrupted by Yin Anran.
“Medicine? And a shower?” Mu Yu’s eyes were instantly wide open.
What could a man and a woman in the same room be doing if medications and showers are involved? They must be taking birth-control pills and a romantic bath! All this was nothing but foreplay before an intimate moment.
Qin Jinhuan saw through her irritation and quickly explained, “Xiaoyu, stop being dramatic! Actually, what Anran is taking is…”
“Jinhuan, where did you put the medicine?” Yin Anran’s voice moved from the bedroom to the living room.
At this moment, Mu Yu’s gaze moved past Qin Jinhuan and fell upon Yin Anran, who was in a pair of pajamas with her hair down.
Seeing a woman dressed up so casually with another man in the same room, it was hard for her not to get the wrong idea, especially with what Yin Anran just said.
Qin Jinhuan flashed his glare past Yin Anran in irritation. Upon seeing Mu Yu, Yin Anran was rendered anxious, which she nervously waved at her and explained, “Miss Mu, it’s not what it seems. There is nothing else between Jinhuan and me. We…”
Mu Yu ignored her explanation but instead turned her attention to Qin Jinhuan and snorted, “Are you also trying to tell me there is nothing else between you two? Would you only admit if I caught you both in bed?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Anran is sick. So, I took her to the hospital. We just came back.” Qin Jinhuan was boiling with anger, although he tried his best not to raise his voice.
“Really? What kind of serious illness did Miss Yin have?” Mu Yu’s gaze moved past Qin Jinhuan and landed on Yin Anran once again.
“I had diarrhea,” the uneasy Yin Anran weakly replied.
“Tsk tsk tsk, so it was just diarrhea? I had diarrhea too a few days ago, but I only took some pills from the pharmacy and recovered. On the contrary, when Miss Yin had diarrhea, the great President Qin came and personally escorted her to the hospital, and even saw her home. You’re such a kind and thoughtful man! Even I, as your wife, have never enjoyed such a privilege.”
“What are you trying to say?” Qin Jinhuan was apparently irritated by Mu Yu’s ironic remark, in which he lost his cool in explaining.
“I just want to tell you to stop treating me like a fool. Can you?” Mu Yu started raising her voice. “I’m neither blind nor deaf!”
“Yu, stop messing around.” Jiang Wenwen, who had just arrived and heard those words, instantly pulled her shirt’s hem in a gentle manner and softly reminded her, “Now that Young Master Qin says there is nothing else between the two of them, I believe he is telling the truth.”
“What do you mean he is telling the truth?!” Mu Yu yelled while shaking off her friend’s hand. “It was three days ago when she had diarrhea, yet she is still using the same excuse now. It doesn’t make sense to me. So, what’s the point of brushing me off like that?”
“Miss Mu, I indeed had diarrhea,” Yin Anran desperately explained.
“Come on! If you really had diarrhea for the past three days, would you still have rosy cheeks? If that was the case, I bet you couldn’t even stand straight, let alone… Wait! What’re you doing! Hey! Let go of me! Now!”
Qin Jinhuan ignored Mu Yu’s cries while dragging her downstairs.
Jiang Wenwen anxiously followed behind them while calling out, “Young Master Qin, please be rational! Don’t blame Yu! The reason why she made such a fuss was that she cares for you too much!”
“Who made a fuss? I was just telling the truth. If there is really nothing else between the both of them, I’ll change my surname to Qin!” Mu Yu responded in a rage, although she staggered in her footsteps.
“Alright, Yu! Stop being so stubborn! Just explain to Young Master Qin, and I believe he won’t… Ouch!”
“Wenwen!”
“I’ll be fine. Don’t worry about me. Just go home with Young Master Qin.” While massaging her sprained ankle, she reminded Mu Yu, “Remember to reflect on your mistakes!”
She didn’t want to be so frank to tell Mu Yu to admit her fault and concede to Qin Jinhuan.
It wasn’t just women, but even men needed to be sweet-talked sometimes. At least, she must have thought that way.
As Mu Yu was dragged away from the stairs by Qin Jinhuan, they ran into Bian Zijun, who was coming their way.
“Boss, I’ve already bought… Young Mistress? What brings you here?” Bian Zijun gazed at Mu Yu in surprise.
Mu Yu glanced at him in annoyance and shook Qin Jinhuan’s hands off. In a fit of rage, she was ready to make a move, only to be forced into the car by Qin Jinhuan before she could take a step forward.
“Qin Jinhuan, let go of me. I want…”
“A divorce, right? We’ll talk about it when we get back. So, shut up now!”
Qin Jinhuan coldly yelled at her and looked away, completely ignoring the staggered Mu Yu.
