Chapter 126: Find a Mistress for Her Daughter
....Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xing Linlin took a cab back to the Xing familys residence. She felt extremely uncomfortable the entire trip; it was as if she had been thrown into a pot of oil. When she arrived, she took a long time to mentally prepare herself before pushing the door open. The moment she entered, her tears fell. She could not salvage her reputation now, but she had to ensure she was still provided for. After all, she had yet to marry Cheng Xingyang. Even though Cheng Xingyang was quite generous to her and gave her a lot of money, a man’s love could not be trusted. He might fall out with her at any time. Therefore, before she married Cheng Xingyang, she had to firmly hold onto the Xing family.
“Aunt, I’m sorry. It was all a moment of folly. Xingyang was so sad that night, and we drank, so…” As Xing Linlin spoke, she could not help but cry again. She did not forget to attribute the affair between her and Cheng Xingyang to alcohol.
Wu Minxia and Xing Guotai did not say anything. The viral video had spread too quickly, and almost everyone in the Beijing upper-class circle knew about it. The rich wives who used to have high tea with Wu Minxia all said that she was muddle-headed—she let an outsider seduce her future son-in-law. Wu Minxia was also furious. But at the sight of Xing Linlin’s sad expression and the thought of that diary, she asked, “Linlin, when did you and Cheng Xingyang…
In the past, Xing Shu had mentioned this matter, but Wu Minxia and Xing Guotai did not believe her. They had always thought that Xing Shu was lying. However, the truth was right in front of them now and there was irrefutable evidence. If that was the case, how much grievance would Xing Shu suffer?
Wu Minxia immediately regretted it. At the same time, she blamed Xing Shu. Why couldn’t they talk things out? Why did they have to make such a scene and make their family a laughing stock?
When Xing Linlin saw Wu Minxia’s expression, she knew that if she did not put on a good act tonight, she would have no place in the Xing family in the future. Her tears gradually fell. “Aunt Wu, do you still remember that night when Xing Shu said that she had slept with a man? Xingyang drank too much that day, so we… I know that alcohol isn’t an excuse. No matter what, I’m the one who let Xing Shu down.”
Wu Minxia instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Subconsciously, she still believed Xing Linlin. It turned out that she and Cheng Xingyang got together at that time. Xing Shu said that she had slept with a man—Cheng Xingyangs pride would definitely not be able to stand the humiliation. So, it was normal for him to take to drinking. Wu Minxia had mixed feelings. On one hand, she blamed Xing Shu. On the other hand, she blamed Xing Linlin. However, she thought that since Cheng Xingyang would look for a side chick sooner or later, it might as well be Xing Linlin. No matter what, Xing Linlin was a psuedo-member of the Xing family.
Wu Minxia said, “Linlin, although you had slept with Cheng Xingyang, Xing
Shu will be the one to marry Xingyang when the time comes.”
Xing Linlin slowly clenched her fists, and her eyes turned red. This was too humiliating! All of this was too humiliating! However, she still had to admit her mistake and pretend to be sincere “I know. Xing Shu is so outstanding; she definitely deserves the best.” Her sincere apology completely comforted Wu Minxia. Wu Minxia—who liked her to begin with—sighed. “Alright, don’t cry anymore. I had wanted you to be our daughter-in-law. But now… Xing Shu probably doesn’t feel good either. When she comes back, I’ll help you plead for leniency.
Xing Linlin stood up with a choked voice and wiped the tears on her face. “Aunt Wu, I’ll apologize to Xing Shu in person. As for Cheng Xingyang, I wont contact him anymore.” Her last sentence was to test Wu Minxia. As expected, Wu Minxia’s next words were similar to her guess.
Wu Minxia said, “Cheng Xingyang is still young and has a roving eye. Instead of letting other women get to him, he might as well be with you. But remember, Xing Shu will be his wife. Don’t challenge Xing Shu about this, okay?”
This was rare—a mother who took the initiative to find a mistress for her daughter. Xing Linlin was indignant, but relieved. She knew that Wu Minxia did not want to make things too ugly. She nodded. “Aunt Wu, don’t worry. I know my place.”
Wu Minxia nodded in satisfaction. Realizing that her husband had not spoken, she nudged his shoulder. “Say something.. What do you think about this?”
