441: Chapter 441: Fulfillnt (2)_1 441: Chapter 441: Fulfillnt (2)_1 Xiao Yali looked at the photo of a man, a woman, and a child, and laughed scornfully to herself, “Hmph, so this is the ‘good husband’ everyone praises.”
She clenched her teeth and carried the photos into the house, then threw them onto the coffee table.
With trembling hands, she picked up the phone and dialed her husband’s number.
“Hello, may I ask who’s speaking?” Xiao Yali didn’t expect to hear a coquettish female voice on the other end of the call.
It was just after she had received those photos of her husband’s affair, and now another woman was answering his phone.
Xiao Yali’s anger, which was already simring, now shot straight to her head.
“Who am I?
I want to ask who you are?
How co you are answering my husband’s phone?” Xiao Yali, being the eldest daughter of the Xiao Family, could indeed put on quite an imposing air when necessary.
The woman on the other end of the line, perhaps cowed by Xiao Yali’s forcefulness or because she realized she was speaking to the wife of their chief, suddenly sounded normal.
“Oh, the wife of the Chief, I see.
I am Chief Liu’s secretary.
Chief Liu is currently on the phone with soone higher up.
How about I ask him to call you back once he’s done?”
“Secretary?
Go fool soone else.
My husband’s secretary is clearly a man.
When did he switch to a woman?
Go give the phone to my husband this instant,” Xiao Yali retorted, rembering very well that her husband’s secretary was always a man.
This was because her husband had specially changed to a male secretary, fearing that she would not be comfortable with a female secretary.
“The previous secretary was a man.
I’ve been transferred here just a few days ago,” the person on the other end tried to explain.
Just as that secretary was explaining to Xiao Yali over the phone, her husband’s voice ca through, “Qianqian, whose call is it?”
As soon as Xiao Yali heard her husband address the woman by na, she was sure that the woman on the phone was not just a simple secretary.
She imdiately linked this woman to the one in the photos she had just received.
“It’s your wife’s call.” Then, with the sound of rustling, the phone was handed over to soone else.
“Hello, Yali, did you call to discuss sothing?” Liu Ping, Xiao Yali’s husband, was also feeling restless.
Seeing the woman who had just answered the phone glaring at him, he worried whether Xiao Yali had called because of the reports in the newspaper.
“Liu Ping, explain to who that woman answering the phone was?
I’m not aware that you switched to a female secretary.
Also, co back imdiately, right now.
I have sothing very important to ask you,” Xiao Yali ordered with an authoritative tone.
At that mont, Liu Ping, assuming that Xiao Yali had read the newspaper reports, thought to quickly explain himself: “Wife, let tell you, all those things written in the newspaper are not true.
They are just fabricated by those reporters.”
“What newspaper?” Xiao Yali interrupted Liu Ping before he could finish, asking with confusion.
Liu Ping was left speechless by Xiao Yali’s question.
anwhile, Xiao Yali was unclear about what the newspaper reported, but she already suspected it was not good news.
Without giving Liu Ping a chance to explain, she hung up and went looking for that morning’s delivered newspaper.
When Xiao Yali flipped open the newspaper and saw the big headline “Provincial Education Bureau Chief’s Nightti Rendezvous with Lover,” accompanied by a photo, she was stunned.
The picture was blurry due to being taken at night and having been snapped covertly.
But anyone who knew Liu Ping could identify him in the photo, alongside a woman snuggling up to him.
To others, the woman might be unrecognizable, but Xiao Yali, who had just examined a stack of photos, recognized her imdiately.
Xiao Yali didn’t even read the content; she simply slumped onto the sofa, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.
After being hung up on, Liu Ping rushed back ho from the Education Bureau, eager to explain the situation to Xiao Yali.
After all, such a scandal for an official like him would be detrintal to his political career, especially since he depended on his father-in-law’s influence in many aspects.
As Liu Ping entered, he saw Xiao Yali sitting on the sofa, crying, with photos and newspapers scattered all over the floor.
Seeing those photos on the ground gave him an ominous premonition.
When he went to pick up the photos, he was stunned.
He had always thought his affairs outside were well-hidden, unknown to his wife or those around him.
“Wife, listen to , these photos, they aren’t real.
They’re all fake.
Soone must be trying to bring down with these fabricated rumors,” Liu Ping pleaded, grasping Xiao Yali’s arm frantically.
“Liu Ping, do you think I’m an idiot?
To this extent, and you still try to deceive ?” Xiao Yali snapped, shaking off Liu Ping’s hand and stord upstairs.
At that mont, her mind was in turmoil, and she needed to calm down to address the matter properly.
But before she could settle her emotions, by the next day, the photos she’d received were plastered across the newspapers, even on prominent ones within the country.
Even her family in Capital City saw the reports, prompting Old Master Xiao to call his son-in-law to ask what was going on.
Liu Ping wanted to claim they were all rumors, but the clarity of those photos forced him to swallow his excuses.
anwhile, Liu Yuhan, who had been experiencing unexplained leg pain and was staying in the hospital, was still unaware that her father had a mistress and an illegitimate child.
Otherwise, knowing her temperant, she would not have stayed put.
But Situ Xin, looking at the newspaper with a smile and stroking Baibai’s fur, said, “These Mu Li and Xiang Yang are more cunning than they seem, exposing Liu Ping’s affairs to the press.
However, I like it.”
