Chapter 353: Xu Xiaomeng is Humiliated

"This, this…" Baldy Liu awkwardly explained.

"Indeed, this item wasn't given to me by an old friend. Let me be honest with you, it was given to me by a mistress I keep outside."

"Mistress?"

Baldy Liu said with difficulty.

"I had a wife before, but my enemy killed her. After that, I dared not marry or have children. I kept a lover, who has been with me for some years now. She gave me this necklace not long ago."

"Oh?"

Zhang Xiaoshan said with a hint of doubt.

"Aren't you treating your lover not so well? Maybe she wants to retaliate?"

"Or perhaps your little mistress is keeping a lover outside, too, looking to get rid of you?"

"No, no, no, that's not possible."

Baldy Liu rejected Zhang Xiaoshan's guesses without hesitation

and proceeded to explain,

"My lover is a country girl from the hills, not well-off. Her parents are both sick, and I have been helping her family out. She's quite grateful and even bore me a child. By rights, she shouldn't harm me."
