The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 559: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (98)

After many twists and turns, Wu Wenyue finally found Cao Shixun in the room that the mother and son had previously booked, but before she could open the door, she heard ambiguous voices of a man and a woman coming from inside the room.

Considering that this incident might have a negative impact on her son Cho Se-hun's reputation, she had to hurriedly leave the room.

When she returned to the banquet hall and wanted to go home with her husband Cao Ce, she learned from her daughter-in-law Xie Wanru that Cao Ce had already gone to rest in the guest room prepared by the International Hotel due to excessive drinking.

Wu Wenyue felt a little uneasy, but considering her husband Cao Ce's violent temper, she didn't say a word.

At this moment, the most urgent thing for her was to take Xie Wanru back to Cao's house. If she accidentally knew that her son was having sex with other women, it would be difficult to end it easily.

"Daughter-in-law, don't dawdle! Most of the guests have left, let's go home!" Wu Wenyue said as she tried to stop Xie Wanru and prepared to take her away from the International Hotel.

"Mom, where's Shixun?" Xie Wanru asked suspiciously. "He disappeared halfway through the party."

"Maybe he went to drink with his friends! As a man, there are always some social engagements that are unavoidable." Wu Wenyue said guiltily.

Xie Wanru was skeptical, but she didn't ask any more questions. She and Wu Wenyue walked out of the restaurant and got on the car to go home.

Along the way, Xie Wanru remained silent, as if she was thinking about something.

Wu Wenyue was uneasy and kept looking out the window, praying that no accidents would happen.

The two returned to Cao's house and spent a peaceful night without any incident.

The next morning, when Wu Wenyue and her daughter-in-law Xie Wanru were enjoying breakfast together, they learned a shocking news from the servant: their son Cao Shixun did not come home all night!

"Did he drink all night?" Xie Wanru said worriedly, her eyes full of worry, "Mom, Shixun doesn't listen to me very much, but he still believes in what you say.

If you have time, please help me persuade him. Drinking like this is really harmful to his health."

In fact, Xie Wanru didn’t say the second half of her sentence. Drinking is not only harmful to the body, but also prone to promiscuity.

Although Wu Wenyue knew in her heart that her son's behavior was inappropriate, she didn't want to continue listening to Xie Wanru's words.

She shook her head gently and said slowly: "Daughter-in-law, men sometimes drink to expand their social circle.

In the end, maybe you have to find a way to control him... after all, men..."

However, before she could finish her words, she noticed servants adding more tableware to the table.

Wu Wenyue couldn't help but frowned and asked in confusion: "Are the master and the young master back? Why do we need four more sets of bowls and chopsticks?"

The servant dared not say anything more and could only say vaguely: "The master and the young master have arrived at the door. This amount of tableware was requested by the housekeeper Cao Quan."

Just when Wu Wenyue was confused, Cao Ce swaggered into the restaurant with his fourth concubine He Yurong in his arms, and following him were Cao Shixun, who looked unhappy, and Cuiqiao, who was wearing a dark red cheongsam.

But compared to the father's high spirits, the son inevitably looks a little downcast.

It turned out that Wu Wenyue had customized that cheongsam so that Cuiqiao could wear it and lure Song Chengjing away at the banquet. However, she was caught as soon as she walked out of the banquet hall.

Song Chengjing didn't say much, but gave Cuiqiao two choices: the first was to wear this dress and replace Su Xiangran and be with Cao Shixun; the second was that he would have someone send her to Cao Ce right away.

Cuiqiao chose the first path without thinking twice. Not to mention that she had been in the Cao family for several years and had some feelings for Cao Shixun, and if this matter was exposed in front of Cao Ce, Cuiqiao didn't know what the lady and the young master would do.

But she would definitely die, and with the methods used by the Cao family, she would not be the only one to die.

Thinking about the seriousness of the matter, Cuiqiao decided to give it a try, maybe the bicycle could be turned into a motorcycle.

Therefore, when Cuiqiao was talking to Cao Shixun on the bridge, she was able to hook Cao Shixun so confidently, thanks to her observation and understanding of him over the past few years.

Looking at the woman in her husband Cao Ce's arms, Wu Wenyue's face turned pale. She pointed at He Yurong and said tremblingly, "Master, who is this woman?"

Did Wu Wenyue really not know He Yurong's identity? Of course not. She knew clearly that this woman was her son's mistress. What she wanted to know now was why He Yurong and Cao Ce were together and so close.

Cao Ce looked at Wu Wenyue's performance with dissatisfaction. It has been so many years, and his wife has really gone backwards. It's not the first time he has taken a concubine. Is there any need to make such a fuss?

"Oh! Rongrong was given to me by someone else. I think she is very lovable." Cao Ce looked like he didn't care at all. "Anyway, the previous fourth concubine is gone, so it's a good opportunity to clean up the previous room and let her move in!

There is nothing more to it! Is it necessary for you to be so surprised? It is really unbecoming of a lady."

He Yurong didn't say anything, but just leaned closer to Cao Ce's arms, making the other person even feel that she was trembling slightly.
