Chapter 35 Spending the Night at My Best Friend's House
After listening to Song Qiao recount her marital situation, Wang Hongmei looked distressed and said, "If you make me say that, I won't even want to get married anymore. Men are all hypocrites who are all sanctimonious."
After Song Qiao confided her grievances over the years to Wang Hongmei, she felt a little better.
"Xiaomei, I don't want to leave tonight. I want to stay here."
When Wang Hongmei heard that Song Qiao wasn't leaving, she looked up at her in surprise and said, "Really? I haven't seen you for three years. I've been wanting to have a good chat with you for a long time."
"Okay, then I won't leave tonight."
For Song Qiao, that home was not as good as a hotel. Whenever she returned to that home, which was full of hypocrisy and scheming, she felt uncomfortable.
Since Song Qiao wasn't leaving, Wang Hongmei started tidying up her room.
"Qiaoqiao, do you want to call Jiang Ming? Otherwise, he might try to pin the blame on you later?"
Finding Wang Hongmei's words reasonable, Song Qiao took out her phone and dialed Jiang Ming's number.
Jiang Ming finally answered his phone after it rang for a long time: "Hello! Wife."
"Where are you?"
After saying that, he whispered a reminder: "Stop fooling around!"
Upon hearing the voice, Song Qiao quickly asked, "What are you doing?"
The sound from the other end was clearly Jiang Ming doing *that* kind of thing, and there was also the sound of someone flirting with him, unable to control themselves.
"I'm outside, I haven't finished eating yet, I'll go back in a bit."
The voices on the other end finally stopped, and Song Qiao then asked, "Where did you eat? Why haven't you finished eating yet? Where's Ranran?"
“My friend and I had a few drinks tonight, and it’s getting late. Don’t worry, I’ll take Ranran home in a bit.”
Jiang Ming gave vague answers and did not directly answer Song Qiao's questions, which clearly indicated that they had booked a room in a hotel.
Song Qiao really wanted to yell at him, "How can you do this in front of your daughter? Don't you have any shame? The child is only five years old. How can you explain this to her?"
But thinking about it carefully, that's their daughter, it has nothing to do with her.
"I'm calling you to let you know that I'm staying at Hongmei's place and I won't be going home tonight."
Upon hearing that Song Qiao was going to stay at Wang Hongmei's house, he asked perfunctorily, "Wang Hongmei is back?"
To prevent Jiang Ming from smearing Song Qiao, Wang Hongmei, who was tidying up nearby, quickly agreed, "I'm back. Don't worry about leaving your Qiao Qiao in my care."
"In that case, you can stay there and have a good chat!"
After Song Qiao and Jiang Ming ended their call, she went to the bedroom with Wang Hongmei. The two lay on the bed, and she talked about her life as a dependent at her aunt's house over the years.
"Qiaoqiao, I admit that my aunt is good to me, but in that family, everyone except my aunt treats me like an outsider. Later, when I went to college, I boarded there. All these years, I've been spending the compensation money that Uncle Song got for my parents when they were in a car accident."
If Wang Hongmei hadn't said that, Song Qiao wouldn't have known that she had suffered so much while abroad all these years.
Song Qiao sat up and hugged her: "Don't go anywhere else from now on. Stay here and I'll take care of you."
Wang Hongmei nodded. Song Qiao had made up her mind. After returning to her father's company, she would work hard so that Wang Hongmei could have a good life in the future.
"Xiaomei, I'm planning to go back to work at my dad's company. Why don't you come and help me?"
Wang Hongmei thought for a moment: "My major is psychological counseling. What can I do if I go to the company?"
Song Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Okay! I'll support whatever you like to do."
"I want to open my own mental health counseling clinic."
As long as she has a goal, that's fine. Song Qiao nodded: "Okay! I'll help you if you don't have enough funds."
As she spoke, Song Qiao picked up her phone, fiddled with it for a bit, and then looked up at Wang Hongmei: "I've transferred 100,000 yuan to your account as your preparation funds."
In her past life, Wang Hongmei was almost killed by Jiang Ming because of her, and in this life, she wants to make her happy.
Wang Hongmei took the phone and looked up at Song Qiao: "How did you know I needed this money?"
In her previous life, when Wang Hongmei opened her shop, she borrowed 100,000 yuan from Song Qiao, knowing that she needed the money.
"I guessed!" Song Qiao said with a smile.
The two lay in bed, planning their happy single lives after Song Qiao got divorced.
Where should I go for my first trip?
How about Inner Mongolia?
Song Qiao loves the snowy grasslands, the desolate desert, and the countless cattle and sheep on the grasslands, which are as beautiful as wildflowers adorning a green carpet.
"Okay! Then let's go to Inner Mongolia next spring."
The two thought about many wonderful things, as well as the joys that being single brought them.
"Qiaoqiao, are you really not getting married?"
Song Qiao lay on the bed facing the ceiling: "I'm heartbroken by love, I'm not getting married."
"But I heard that Lu Mingxuan has been single for the past few years. Has he always had feelings for you?"
Wang Hongmei's words reminded her of the dinner they had that evening.
"There might be other reasons why he's single, not because of me. Oh, right! He knows about me and Jiang Ming."
Wang Hongmei looked at Song Qiao with a gossipy expression: "I knew it! He's been keeping an eye on you."
“It’s not what you think. I ran into him at the hospital that day by chance, and he told me that he saw Jiang Ming with another woman, so I told him what I thought.”
After much deliberation, Song Qiao decided that she still wanted Zhou Cheng to go with her tomorrow.
She was afraid of missing the chance to find her child, so she still wanted to prioritize this matter.
"Qiaoqiao, I can tell that Lu Mingxuan is waiting for you."
Upon hearing Wang Hongmei's words, Song Qiao denied it: "How could that be?..."
The two chatted in bed until their eyelids started to droop and they went to shower and sleep separately.
The next morning, Song Qiao got up early. She wanted to go home first to see if Jiang Ming had left. If he had, she planned to go to Zhoucheng.
After saying goodbye to Wang Hongmei, Song Qiao returned home.
But as soon as she entered, Song Qiao sensed something was wrong. There was a smell of sexual activity between a man and a woman in the house, something Song Qiao was very sensitive to.
She entered the bedroom and saw that the blankets were in disarray, and Jiang Ming was nowhere to be found.
She went to Jiang Xiaoran's bedroom again and saw that she was still asleep. She took out her phone and dialed Jiang Ming's number.
The phone rang, and Jiang Ming's hushed voice came through: "Shh! Don't talk."
"Jiang Ming, where have you been?" Song Qiao asked, suppressing her anger.
"I'm going downstairs to buy breakfast, I'll be home soon."
Hearing the panic in Jiang Ming's words, Song Qiao frowned, thinking: Could it be that Zhao Xiaoya spent the night here last night?
Suddenly, a wave of nausea washed over me. I took my phone into the bathroom and, sure enough, found a used "little umbrella" in the trash can.
Song Qiao's patience had almost reached zero. This was her home, and Jiang Ming shouldn't have brought Zhao Xiaoya to sleep in her bed.
"Jiang Ming! Come back quickly, I have something to ask you."
Song Qiao reminded Jiang Ming over the phone and then ended the call.
Suddenly, she remembered the miniature camera that Lu Mingxuan had given her in her bag.
Song Qiao took it out and put it in a pot of green ivy, just as Lu Mingxuan had told her to.
I still don't have proof that the two of them slept together, do I? Song Qiao thought for a moment, then took it out again and went to the bedroom to find a suitable place.
I noticed there was a hole on the desk lamp, and it fit perfectly.
If Jiang Ming brings Zhao Xiaoya back again, that will be evidence of his extramarital affair.
