Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Caught in the Act at the Birthday Banquet

Bai Yunyang pushed open the door of the private room and paused as he saw He Tingchen sitting inside. But soon he regained his composure, walked in, and smiled, "Why the sudden invitation? It’s the first time you’ve asked to meet me in ten years."

"Of course, after all, we aren’t exactly close," He Tingchen replied coldly.

"What brought you back all of a sudden?" Bai Yunyang asked casually as he sat down.

He Tingchen looked at him and countered, "Aren’t you aware?"

Bai Yunyang smiled and said, "I’m not."

"Actually, I really don’t understand. You and Bai Yunzhu are from the same mother, so why is there such a big difference between you?" He Tingchen asked.

Bai Yunyang’s heart sank. He knew then that he was aware.

"Did Fang Anning tell you?"

"She did hide it well for your sake; however, do you think I wouldn’t find out?" He Tingchen said icily.

Bai Yunyang’s face changed and he took a deep breath, "What do you want to do?"

He Tingchen’s expression darkened slightly as he slowly responded, "I don’t mind sparing Bai Yunzhu, but I have one condition. Agree to Li Ziwei’s terms and arrange for him to dine at the Seldon Hotel the day after tomorrow."

"Li Ziwei? What are you planning?" asked Bai Yunyang, puzzled.

"It’s about Fang Anning’s matter; someone has to take responsibility. If not him, would you prefer it be Bai Yunzhu?"

"I understand. I’ll arrange the dinner. But I won’t involve myself with what follows," said Bai Yunyang.

He Tingchen chuckled indifferently and nodded, "I know, you cherish your reputation. You, Bai Yunyang, the gentlemanly paragon, how could you engage in such base and dishonorable deeds."

"Actually, Fang... never mind, it’s nothing. If you have no other matters, I need to leave first." Bai Yunyang stood up.

He Tingchen nodded, letting him leave.

Bai Yunyang walked out the door and paused momentarily.

He had intended to tell him that Fang Anning was a good woman and that he should cherish her.

But then he thought again. He would go against Li Ziwei for Fang Anning, which shows her worth.

So why add redundant words that might only arouse suspicion?

"Mr. Li, thank you for keeping my secret. I’ve agreed to your request. The day after tomorrow, I’ve arranged a dinner meeting at the Seldon Hotel and hope you can attend," Bai Yunyang made a call to Li Ziwei.

Li Ziwei excitedly replied, "Thank you, Mr. Bai, for your support. Rest assured, I will definitely attend."

"Good." Bai Yunyang ended the call.

He curved his lips, a trace of scorn flashing in his eyes.

Knowing He Tingchen as he did, if He Tingchen wanted revenge on someone, he would leave no stone unturned.

Li Ziwei?

From now on, this person might completely disappear from Yun City.

Two days later, at Hilton Hotel.

Bai Yunyang had invited several people to this dinner, including Li Ziwei. However, two uninvited guests showed up, sent by He Tingchen.

Bai Yunyang didn’t really mind.

It was Li Ziwei who was thrilled to see one of those guests; especially since one of them brought a beautiful woman, making Li Ziwei’s eyes nearly pop out of his head.

After the dinner ended, everyone dispersed.

But Li Ziwei was seen leaving arm in arm with that person.

Li Ziwei had another conversation with that person, but Bai Yunyang had no clue about the details. He only knew that two days later, Li Ziwei was seen getting intimate with another woman at a restaurant by his wife Hu Yue, who was dining there with relatives and friends.

Li Ziwei had always been fond of flirting with other women, which Hu Yue was aware of and usually turned a blind eye to.

However, that day was different, it was Hu Yue’s birthday.

Relatives from Hu Yue’s side of the family were there, along with a group of close friends and besties who came to celebrate with her.

Yet, Li Ziwei, the legitimate husband, claimed he had something urgent that day and couldn’t make it. Hu Yue didn’t mind initially, but unexpectedly, one of her besties spotted Li Ziwei in the next private room during a restroom visit, with another woman in his arms.

Immediately, the bestie rushed back to their private room to tell Hu Yue about it.

Hu Yue’s face turned from pale to flushed with anger as she slammed the table, stood up, and, twisting her plump body, headed towards the neighboring private room.

"Li Ziwei, you son of a bitch, missing my birthday and messing around with a vixen!"

After drinking a bit of alcohol, Hu Yue kicked open the door of the private room and saw Li Ziwei, with his pants down, on top of a woman.

Relatives and friends followed her, and the commotion attracted other guests who swarmed to the doorway.

To Hu Yue’s surprise, there were reporters among the crowd, who captured and recorded the scene, swiftly uploading it online where it quickly spread, making the headlines of entertainment news the next day.

Of course, Hu Yue only found out about all this afterwards.

Right now, seeing this scene, she was furious!

Knowing your husband flirts with others and seeing your husband being intimate with another woman are two entirely different feelings.

Hu Yue always thought she had reached the highest realm of womanhood.

Ignoring her physique, not caring whether her husband’s heart was with her.

Focusing only on her own eating, drinking, and merry-making.

Yet, seeing her husband, whom she personally helped raised, acting disgracefully like a dog, she still involuntarily lost her patience and lunged forward, slapping Li Ziwei hard across his face.

Then, she pulled up the young mistress—the vixen—from the sofa and slapped her fiercely as well.

Li Ziwei was initially stunned by the slap from Hu Yue.

Seeing Hu Yue suddenly appear, he froze, unsure how to react.

Soon, he saw a large crowd behind Hu Yue, all watching the spectacle.

The mistress that Hu Yue slapped started crying pitifully and hid behind him, pleading, "Mr. Li, you have to protect me, you said you loved me and that you would protect me."

"Hu Yue, you shrew, stop it right now,"

Li Ziwei, feeling cornered by the crowd and the grievances claimed by his mistress, couldn’t help but lash out at Hu Yue.

Usually, Hu Yue would not quarrel with him about such matters.

Didn’t he have any self-awareness, considering his own behavior?

As long as they did not divorce, providing their son with a complete family was all that mattered, everything else was trivial.

But today, in front of so many people, Li Ziwei, this presumptuous man, dared to yell at her.

She trembled with anger and shrilly challenged him, "Li Ziwei, who are you yelling at? You eat my food, drink my drinks, use my things, and you dare to mess with a vixen outside?"

"Hu Yue, why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror and see what you look like? Why do you think I find other women? It’s because I’m disgusted by you," Li Ziwei arrogantly replied.

He had said such things to Hu Yue before, initially angered her, but later she didn’t care.

He thought this time would be no different.

But unexpectedly, right after he spoke, Hu Yue’s cousins rushed over and punched him, knocking him to the ground.
