Chapter 178: Who Knows?

Just when Ji Lingchen thought she was done, Fang Xiaonuan started to pour toilet cleaner onto Ji Lingchen’s body. The pungent smell immediately reached Ji Lingchen’s nose. He said unhappily, “Xiaonuan, what are you doing!”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Just now I was disinfecting, now I’m cleaning!” However, it was not over yet. There was still a bottle of bleach on the table.

Ji Wen and Feng Qi came back to their senses. Seeing that things were taking a turn for the worse, they quickly stopped Fang Xiaonuan and took the toilet cleaner away from her. They pulled Fang Xiaonuan in and took a few steps back. Feng Qi asked, “Xiaonuan, calm down. Tell me what happened. Why are you so angry?”

Ji Wen took the opportunity to pull the table away and let Ji Lingchen into the house. He did not forget to remind him in a low voice, “Uncle, you’re useless. My aunt has been looking for you all afternoon.”

Ji Lingchen walked into the living room. Just as he was about to reprimand his wife, he suddenly froze.

His wife was pursing her lips, looking upset. Her eyes were misty, like she was about to start crying at any moment. Seeing his wife like this, Ji Lingchen’s anger disappeared without a trace. He could not reprimand her.

“Xiaonuan, come here,” Ji Lingchen said gently.

Fang Xiaonuan ran out of Feng Qi’s arms. She picked up the bleach and was about to pour it on Ji Lingchen. Fortunately, Ji Wen was quick enough to take the bleach away.

“Calm down. You can hurt people with this,” Ji Wen said.

At this moment, Old Master Ji, who was now addicted to social media now, finally noticed what was happening.

“What’s going on?” Old Master Ji asked in confusion, but no one responded.

Old Master Ji noticed that Fang Xiaonuan was crying, so he asked again, “Who made Xiaonuan cry?” There was still no response. He began to observe his family and realized that they seemed to be fighting. He understood. His second son must have caused this!

“Ji Lingchen, what did you do to make Xiaonuan cry again?”

“Useless son. It’s one thing for you to make me angry every day, but it was so hard to get you a wife! Now, you’re still making me angry.”

“Xiaonuan is such a good wife, yet you’re making her cry. I think you deserve a beating!” Old Master Ji scolded his son indiscriminately. Then, he got up and went around looking for his cane. He raised his cane and tried to hit his son.

Mayor Ji, who was beside him, quickly stopped him and advised, “Dad, wait a moment and listen to what Lingchen has to say.”

“Listen to him? For what? He made Xiaonuan cry, didn’t he? How can I let him go!” After saying that, Old Master Ji raised his cane again.

Mayor Ji pulled his cane away again. He was stronger than him, so Old Master Ji was forced to give in.

Ji Wen was afraid that Fang Xiaonuan would rush up and hit his uncle. He threw the bleach aside and held onto Fang Xiaonuan’s hand tightly, not letting her continue to lose her temper.

Almost everyone in the family was beside Fang Xiaonuan, but there was no one beside Ji Lingchen. Everyone looked at the young couple, waiting for Ji Lingchen’s explanation.

Ji Lingchen walked toward his wife and pushed his nephew away. He took his wife’s hand.

Fang Xiaonuan shook her hand away forcefully and said angrily, “You’ve finished playing around outside, and now you want to come home?”

Ji Lingchen said, “Come back to the room with me. I can explain.”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “You already crafted the perfect lie to tell me, right?”

Ji Lingchen said, “Do you think I’d lie to you?”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Who knows!”

Feng Qi looked at the quarreling couple and asked, “Lingchen, Xiaonuan, what exactly happened?”

Fang Xiaonuan angrily pointed at Ji Lingchen. “He cheated on me!”

Old Master Ji stared at his silent son and was about to scold him when he suddenly realized something. He turned to ask Fang Xiaonuan, “Xiaonuan, could it be a misunderstanding? How could Lingchen cheat?”

As his father, he did not believe that Ji Lingchen cheated. It was not because he was protecting him, but because he knew him too well.

Feng Qi also looked at her brother-in-law. She had been living with the Ji family for many years and had watched Ji Lingchen grow up. She had a certain understanding of him, so she said, “Xiaonuan, maybe you misunderstood.”

If a person like Ji Lingchen wanted to have a new relationship, he would definitely ask for a divorce first and then only proceed with the relationship. He would not have an affair.

Mayor Ji also felt that it was impossible for his brother to cheat.

Seeing that everyone did not believe her, Fang Xiaonuan told everyone what her husband had said in the afternoon.

“On top of that, Xiaowen and I went to the company and went to all the places he usually goes to. We couldn’t find him at all.”

Now, everyone looked at Ji Lingchen, waiting for his explanation. According to Fang Xiaonuan, Ji Lingchen did look guilty.
