Chapter 166: Chapter 166: As the Water Recedes, the Rocks Emerge (4)_1

At that moment, Haotian was seized by the arm by Liang Yuemei, and he was also shocked by Liang Yuemei’s mad actions, forgetting to dodge. As for Situ Xin, her mind was in disarray with concern, as everyone should know, her family is her Achilles heel—if anyone touched her family members, she definitely would not let them off easily.

When Liang Yuemei regained her senses, she said a bit crazily, "You’re lying to me, this is impossible, Ruobing is clearly Haoran’s child, how could it become Jia Zhengce’s child. You must be deceiving people."

"Humph, deceiving? You keep talking about that night, don’t you, so why don’t you tell everyone about what happened that night?" Although Liu Qian felt pity for Liang Yuemei after reading the investigation report Situ Xin had given to Old Master Situ, seeing this woman trying to entangle herself with her husband over and over again, she had had enough.

"Right, right, about that night, that night." At this point, Liang Yuemei was getting anxious, eager to explain herself, but the more anxious she was, the less clear she became.

It was Old Master Situ who, standing to the side, said, "Liang Yuemei, that night you’re talking about, is it when Haoran, Jia Zhengce, and others from their barracks were hosting a gathering to celebrate someone’s retirement?"

"Yes, yes, that’s the one." Liang Yuemei, no longer paying attention to who was speaking, heard someone voicing what she wanted to say and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Liang Yuemei, we have already investigated the events of that day. After you got drunk, the person who supported you and took you home wasn’t my husband Haoran, but Jia Zhengce. I think with this clarification, you should be aware of what happened that night," Liu Qian filled in the rest of the story.

Old Master Situ and Liu Qian’s words made Jia Zhengce’s gaze flicker and sweat broke out all over his body; he had wiped the sweat from his forehead countless times, and it seemed to be getting worse.

Old Master Jia and Jia Zhengxin were also aware of this matter, but the version they knew differed from the version Old Master Situ and the others knew. Of course, their version not something they had found out through investigation, but something they heard from Liang Yuemei’s mouth after they found out she might be related to Situ Haoran. Now, after hearing Liu Qian’s words and giving it more thought, they realized how foolish they were to have believed Liang Yuemei’s words without conducting their own investigation.

Why hadn’t they considered Situ Haoran’s character, whether he was someone who would do such a thing? In all likelihood, if Old Master Jia and Jia Zhengxin had heard Liang Yuemei’s words at any other time, they would have noticed something off, but at that time, they were blinded by joy. Obsessed with bringing down the Situ Family, they lost their reason.

"What, not Situ Haoran? How could this be, I, I clearly saw it was Haoran," Liang Yuemei was still living in the dream she had woven for herself.

"You were drunk at that time, mistook someone else for my husband Haoran, and when you woke up the next day, didn’t you see nobody was there? Do you think my husband Haoran is the type of person who would do something and then not dare to acknowledge it?" Liu Qian said, her eyes glancing towards Jia Zhengce who was incessantly wiping off sweat. Continuing, she said, "If you don’t believe it, you can ask Mr. Jia Zhengce; I think he should be clearer than anyone about what happened later that night," she added with a somewhat mocking smile.

Upon hearing Liu Qian’s words, Liang Yuemei and Liang Ruobing both turned their heads towards Jia Zhengce, with Liang Yuemei demanding first, "Jia Zhengce, what exactly is going on?" At this point, Liang Yuemei still did not believe Liu Qian’s words, she was in a hurry to seek confirmation from Jia Zhengce.

"I, I," Jia Zhengce stuttered nervously in the face of Liang Yuemei. Although he was usually known for being a playboy with willing women, those were consenting matters between adults. However, his encounter with Liang Yuemei was one where he forced himself on her after she had gotten drunk.

"Jia Zhengce, spit it out," Situ Haotian urged him with a smile.

Jia Zhengce, seeing everyone looking at him and thinking of the paternity test report in his father’s hands, knew he couldn’t deny the truth of the matter today. He was aware of the whole situation and knew, unlike his father, that there was no mistake in the paternity test. Conceding to the reality, Jia Zhengce furrowed his brow and stamped his foot, admitting, "Yes, I was the one who took you home that night, and I was the one who slept with you."

At the words of Jia Zhengce, Old Master Jia and Jia Zhengxin turned even paler. Old Master Jia nearly lost his balance, but Jia Zhengxin, quick on his feet, caught him. "Dad, are you alright?" Jia Zhengxin asked worriedly.

Old Master Jia shook his head at Jia Zhengxin, managing to stand on his own without anyone’s help.

Upon hearing Jia Zhengce’s confirmation, Liang Yuemei stood up from the ground and charged at Jia Zhengce. Before anyone reacted, Liang Yuemei was already entangled with Jia Zhengce, flailing wildly like a shrew in her attacks. People have immense strength when fueled by anger.

Jia Zhengce, a grown man, was surprisingly unable to pull away from Liang Yuemei, who clawed and pounded at him mercilessly.

Seeing this, Old Master Jia was initially stunned, then became agitated and ordered, "Quick, pull that woman off of him!" Although Old Master Jia was thoroughly disappointed in his second son, he was still his child, and it was unbearable for him to see his son being beaten.

Watching Liang Yuemei’s outburst, Situ Jin had much to ponder and whispered to Situ Xin, "This woman is terrifying when she goes mad; we must never provoke a woman like this." Situ Jin’s comment made Situ Xin accidentally laugh out loud.

Looking at the chaotic scene in the hospital lobby, Old Master Situ sighed and shook his head. He then said to Situ Haoran and the others, "Let’s go."

Everyone nodded in agreement. The matter had been settled, and there was no point in staying any longer. As for what would follow, it was for Liang Yuemei and the Jia Family to resolve on their own.

The Situ Family hadn’t meddled in this affair, and it was already generous of them not to take revenge on the Jia Family.
