Just before Mong Yue was about to check out the cause and effect, she saw the man opposite her look at his mother with hostility in his eyes.
And it wasn't like the anger at being suppressed but akin to some deep seated grudge.
[To think a son could hate his mother so much... just for this?]
Ming Yue doubted her eyes for a second and hurriedly got into detective mode, asking her system about the reason, delving into the depths of it all.
[Ahhhh!!! Ahhh!!! What the hell did I just hear!? No way!!]
Just like that, she ended up finding something exasperating.
[Such a cruel son!] She cursed in anger
[Just what did his mother do to deserve something like this? She seems like a good person who knows right from wrong.]
[Not only has her husband been cheating on her ever since her marriage, but also her son... goes around to meet his stepmother and finds her better than his own mother?!]
Ming Yue really felt her worldview refresh once again despite having seen all kinds of ups and downs in her life.
Yet the frustration boiling within her was all too real!
She wanted to beat the two scumbags to death yet... the system only told her one thing.
¶She can't interfere in other's fate directly or else there'll be irrevocable backlashes.¶
Unable to do anything, she just looked helplessly at the mother who was apologising to her on her son's behalf and chiding him.
In truth, his mother was also stunned as she'd never heard from the two about their presence here.
She only came to the banquet because of a coincidence and ended up seeing such a scene.
Her son's nurturing was very strict and she taught him to respect everyone, especially women.
Yet the scene before her almost made her doubt her eyes until she saw her husband.
After all, she was his wife, so how could she not see the look of disdain and condescending manner of apology?
That's why she stepped forward, dare to hit her son for his mistake in a public gathering.
She believed he would learn his lesson and apologize as well as grow out of his hot-tempered cocoon.
Unfortunately, it only increased his harboured resentment towards her and his wavering hesitation towards replacing his mother to make way for his stepmother crumpled.
[Not only did her husband go around sleeping with several matrons to run Tianfu Electronics and make it reach today's height. He never let any of them discover each other... What a player!]
While some men and women might admire such a person for their "skills", Ming Yue only felt a sense of irritation because those Matrons were also no noble women.
Thus, a hint of dissatisfaction coated her thoughts, which were overheard by the cool big sister who stood rooted on the spot.
'Could there... really be such a drama?' she wondered doubtfully, finding it hard to believe.
After all, it was just an inner voice or maybe even some hallucination, although that was very unlikely.
Originally, she thought the mother was continuing the act but after hearing Ming Yue's thoughts, observing and connecting the dots, she concluded one thing.
'This father-son pair came here with the stepmother without letting the wife know... and it'll reveal her, causing a hasty divorce, leaving her as a victim, able to claim more of the marital property. Yet how could they allow that?'
Unlike others, this girl had read all kinds of scripts and heard strange ideas on the shoot, so she didn't find it weird or impossible, but rather considered it much more plausible.
On the other hand, as expected by her, a guest couldn't help but blurt out.
"If she's his mom, then who's the woman who came alongside them?"
"Yeah, yeah, that's what I've been thinking about too."
"Could it be a mistress? And the son actually supports the father in bringing a mistress home? Is he deranged?"
...
At first, the voices were low and only murmurs and whispers were exchanged before they grew loud, reaching the director of Tianfu Electronics, whose face turned pale at the words.
[Hah! You dare to do it but not own up to it! Bah! I spit at you! You're not even a man!]
Ming Yue cursed wildly, almost making the cool big sister lose character and bursting into laughter.
The commentary was quite spot-on as the man's wife suddenly changed targets and directly slapped her husband.
In a daze, he didn't even react before she kicked him and brought him to a prone position.
"Tell me! Who did you come here with!" She demanded in an unfriendly tone.
Her husband's face turned ugly but he remained quiet as if having lost the ability to speak.
"Speak!" She demanded, trembling from anger.
"Sister, calm down," a masculine voice sounded, drawing attention before others recognised him.
"Oh? He's here! The one and only buisness genius of the Hai City!"
"To think it was his sister who got a green hat!"
"Interesting, so interesting!"
...
Despite the murmurs, she calmed down and the one on the verge of fainting became her husband.
How could he not know why he married her?
If not for brother being a buisness genius with the ability to easily earn money and make connections, he wouldn't spare her a glance.
And now that same man stood with an unfriendly gaze, almost as if looking at a dead person.
[Wow! A handsome man comes to the rescue!]
Ming Yue exclaimed at the sight of a mature man, around the age of early 40s yet he looked only to be in his thirties.
It was impossible to think that he was the younger brother of the wife of Tianfu Electronics director.
The two didn't look much alike, but it could mostly be attributed to the lack of love in one's life and the abundance in the others.
Despite appearing taciturn and a cold boss, her brother was a kind man and wouldn't let her suffer any kind of injustice.
So, she knew that his matter was over as long as there was proof.
Speaking of proof... where did that woman who came with her husband and son go?
That woman in itself was proof enough of infidelity and according to their pre-nup, the cheating party would leave with nothing, so just one proof was enough.
Not seeing his mistress, her husband was actually happy...
[Isn't he happy too soon?]
No sooner had Ming Yue's thoughts echoed in the cool big sister's ming that an arrogant voice of a woman followed:
"Hmph! I am here! So what?"
