C36

We waited in the living room while we put on our makeup and listened to the director's instructions. I thought it was an advertisement, but it was more like a short interview program.

"Mrs. Cheng, are you unwell?" I was asked by a staff member in the interval.

"Actually, keeping your body healthy is very simple. As long as your family is harmonious, regular exercise is fine." Cheng Ruojun's father said to the camera with a smile. He then patted the back of Du Lirong's hand and said with an expression of great love, "Of course, don't forget to drink a cup of Ruixuan Wine every day."

"Let's go back." I whispered into Cheng Ruojun's ear. He only glanced at me indifferently and didn't say anything, but I understood what he meant. He wouldn't let me off so easily.

"We finally came back together. If we just leave like this, my parents would be so sad." Cheng Ruojun said softly, "And there will be more guests coming later."

I looked at him and didn't say anything. There was no point in saying anything more.

"Then we'll be leaving first. We'll send the clips over when they're finished. Please take a look first." The director led a group of people away, and the house quieted down.

Only now did I know, that after they finished shooting the commercial, there were still guests. Just what kind of guests, I suddenly remembered what Du Lirong once told me that she would still look for a woman for Cheng Ruojun, and my heart became more and more anxious, what exactly should I do? Why is it that despite being so vast, there isn't a place for me in this world?

Du Lirong turned around with a smile and said, "Old Master, let's eat." Then she said to the Sister Zheng, "Is the food ready? By the way, are the snacks and tea ready? "Take out another bottle of good wine."

Sister Zheng smiled and replied, "Everything has been arranged."

I took Cheng Ruojun's arm and walked over to the dining table. Du Lirong and Cheng Ruojun's father were already sitting there.

Cheng Ruojun's father was currently focused on reading a newspaper, not even raising his head, while Du Lirong looked at me with dissatisfaction, and said in a strange tone, "Yo, which family's noble lady are you from, you don't even know how to walk, you even need someone to support you, what are you pretending for?"

Hearing Du Lirong's words, I immediately clenched my fists, I wanted to struggle free from Cheng Ruojun, but he kept on grabbing onto me, and I was unable to leave him.

"Mom, stop it." Cheng Ruojun said those words for me, but not only did his words not console Du Lirong, he had actually made Du Lirong even more angry.

Du Lirong glared at me before turning to talk to Cheng Ruojun's father. She cut a piece of steak and said, "That woman texted me that she's pregnant and asked you to take responsibility."

Cheng Ruojun's father looked at her and said without raising his head, "You can do whatever you want with it."

Actually, I already knew that Du Lirong and Cheng Ruojun's father didn't have any feelings for each other since a long time ago.

"Ruo, I already know about Ye Hanqiu, I never expected her to be so bold, to actually lie to us, the Cheng family." When Du Lirong mentioned Ye Hanqiu, she gritted her teeth. Presumably, she already knew that the child in Ye Hanqiu's womb was not Cheng Ruojun.

"Yes." Cheng Ruojun replied indifferently.

Du Lirong glared at me and continued, "If it wasn't for your wife being so disappointing, we wouldn't need to go through all this trouble."

I lowered my head as I heard Du Lirong's words.

"Mom, stop it." Cheng Ruojun said impatiently, "Xiao Rou is my wife."

Du Lirong looked at him, then turned and looked at me, the hatred in her eyes deepened.

I looked down in despair. I didn't understand why Cheng Ruojun acted as if he loved me so much in front of outsiders despite being so rough with me at home.

"I've been looking for a few women outside these few days. When are you going to meet them?" Du Lirong said as if she was taking revenge on me. When she said that, she intentionally looked at me, and I understood that she was trying to demonstrate her strength.

I lifted my head and quickly scanned her before turning my gaze towards Cheng Ruojun. Although the love I had for him was already gone, I still wanted to know his answer. I hated myself for holding any hope towards Cheng Ruojun.

"Mm. Alright." Cheng Ruojun replied.

I lowered my head again, and this time, my head dropped even lower. However, when I heard this news, there was actually some joy in my heart, if there was another woman, then Cheng Ruojun would only care about her and would not torture me anymore.

I felt ridiculous thinking this way. When did I ever come up with that idea?

"Don't look for her in the next few days." I suddenly heard Cheng Ruojun's father speaking. The moment I heard that, I even thought that Cheng Ruojun's father was speaking up for me, but I immediately realized that was completely impossible.

"Hmm?" Du Lirong glanced at Cheng Ruojun's father, his expression turning ugly.

Cheng Ruojun's father swept his gaze across her and said in a stern voice, "Today's commercial will be broadcast in a few days. No matter what happens in the past, recently, I must not mess around, especially not to be caught red-handed."

"Got it." Everyone answered.

Looking at the scene, I suddenly remembered that I had been glad a long time ago that my husband was not such a person.

Du Lirong and Cheng Ruojun's father had long played on their own, and had even sympathized with Du Lirong, thinking that she had become so annoying because she did not have a husband to help her. But now Cheng Ruojun and I have become like this, it was truly a different story.

But as I was eating stiffly, I suddenly felt someone touch my leg. The hands were so warm that I quickly realized whose hand it was.

His hand slowly moved upwards. I didn't even dare to move. I could only passively endure his strength. I didn't understand why he would do this. His parents were still clearly here.
