Chapter 2: Love My Wife Like Life Yet Keep a Mistress

Chapter 2

How would a daughter who has always had a harmonious relationship with her parents react upon hearing that her beloved father would die in an accident three days later?

The first reaction, of course, would be disbelief.

She would question the credibility of the information source and wonder if the person delivering this news had some hidden agenda.

Wei Yi was shocked by this news; she immediately stood up from her seat.

Other classmates in the room had also heard Shi Li's inner thoughts. Whether surprised or speculating, they all managed to conceal their emotions well.

No one looked in Wei Yi's direction until she stood up.

Only then did everyone turn their gaze towards her.

After the math teacher's earlier reminder, all the students in Class 1, Grade 1 were pretending well, as if they hadn't heard any strange voices.

Now they were looking at Wei Yi only because she had suddenly stood up in the middle of the exam.

Despite his age, the math teacher was a timid person, and today he was nearly scared to death by the series of abnormal behaviors from these troublemakers.

First, the well-behaved girl fell asleep in class for the first time, then the entire class simultaneously looked around restlessly.

He thought it was over, but then the young lady, Wei Yi, suddenly stood up during class.

Frightened, the math teacher hurriedly searched on his phone: "What to do when students are collectively possessed during class?"

He noticed Wei Yi's facial expressions changing rapidly, truly looking as if she had encountered something sinister.

The search engine didn't provide the answer he wanted, but based on the supernatural novels he had read before, he decided that in such situations, it's best not to interfere and just observe quietly.

Wei Yi's sudden movement also drew Shi Li's attention away from her phone and onto her.

Looking at Wei Yi's small face, no bigger than a palm, Shi Li couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

[To be honest, it wouldn't be such a bad thing if that scumbag father of hers died]

Regardless of whether the news about her father's accident was true or false, hearing someone say it would be better if her father died was too much for Wei Yi to bear.

She had been raised with utmost care and indulgence, pampered by her parents in a wealthy household.

Wei Yi had a spoiled nature, and when in a bad mood, she would often stir up trouble for no reason. How could she tolerate someone speaking about her beloved father like that?

Just as she was about to lash out at Shi Li, she heard that voice again.

[Who would have thought that Wei Yongsheng's act was so perfect? His love for his daughter and wife was all a facade. This guy has five or six mistresses who have borne him children, and countless more women he's been with who haven't had his kids.]

Although Wei Yi had been raised in luxury, she wasn't a naive girl.

Growing up in such circles, even though everyone claimed their parents had good relationships and their fathers were good husbands, Wei Yi had never stopped worrying about her own family.

Sadly, when she heard Shi Li mention her father keeping mistresses, she only doubted it for a moment before believing it.

[After Wei Yongsheng's death, many mistresses and their illegitimate children came knocking, forcing their way in and taking a large portion of the family fortune]

Wei Yi was incredibly agitated inside, desperately wanting to go and confront her father for the truth.

However, being a girl who had received an elite education since childhood, Wei Yi gracefully sat back down. She wanted to hear more of what Shi Li had to say.

As for the truthfulness of Shi Li's words, she would find someone to confirm it later.

The math teacher, who had been secretly observing Wei Yi from the podium, saw her return to her seat with a seemingly normal expression. He quietly let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed that letting things run their course was indeed the correct way to handle supernatural encounters.

Wei Yi had her hair tied up in a high ponytail.

Shi Li thought this girl was actually quite pitiful, losing her father, discovering his true nature, and losing a large portion of her family's wealth all within a single day.

A mischievous classmate joked: [It's not necessarily that she encountered something unclean, maybe it's us? *dog head emoji*]

[Shut up, you]

Seeing the classmates' chat content getting increasingly off-topic, the class monitor stepped in to bring things back on track.

The class monitor thought a bit more deeply and said, "Let's not tell our parents yet, and don't let Shi Li know either. We'll wait and see what happens. If that voice is real, it could be a good thing for us."

Being able to know the future meant having an extra ability to seek good fortune and avoid calamity.

Whether this matter was true or false, he hoped it was true.

Then the class monitor mentioned Wei Yi again, "Yi, go home and verify this. If you encounter any problems that need solving, feel free to ask your classmates for help. We'll definitely be there for you without hesitation."

After the class monitor sent this message, before Wei Yi could say thank you, she received a private message: "You know my family runs a hospital. If you need a DNA test, we can give you a fast-track, urgent, and confidential service!"

Wei Yi smiled slightly and typed in the chat box, "Thank you. I'll come to you if I need it."

She thanked everyone in the class group chat for their concern, then pondered what she should do next.

Finally, when school let out, Shi Li picked up her schoolbag and stood up, but Wei Yi stopped her.

"Shi Li, are you free tonight? I didn't understand the problem the teacher explained before the physics class ended. Could you come to my house and explain it to me?"

In reality, this was all just an excuse.

For families like theirs, what kind of private tutor couldn't they hire? Why would they need classmates to explain problems?

Shi Li, of course, had her own plans. She wanted to go and complete her daily face-time task in front of the male lead.

Seeing Shi Li's hesitant expression, Wei Yi knew she might have other plans.

But Wei Yi didn't care if Shi Li had plans with others; she was determined to bring Shi Li home today.

Her time was too tight. She needed to confirm within just three days whether her father was keeping a mistress and had an illegitimate child.

If she had enough time, she could let a private detective investigate slowly.

But this was a matter of her father's life and death.

If there really was a mistress and an illegitimate child, then her father's car accident would be... well, that would be that.

If there wasn't a mistress, even if she could prove that Shi Li's words weren't entirely true, it still concerned her father's safety. She couldn't gamble on it and had to take precautions.

Wei Yongsheng: So if I have a mistress outside, there's no need to save me?

In short, she now needed to narrow down the range of potential mistresses through Shi Li.

Shi Li, however, was thinking that if she went to find Feng Yunhe now, it would just be checking in for her daily routine.

It wasn't time for her to follow the plot yet.

Not going to see Feng Yunhe wouldn't have any impact, but if she refused Wei Yi today, her loss would be significant.

By going to Wei's house today, she could see what Wei Yi's scumbag father looked like.

Getting closer to Wei Yi first would allow her to give some necessary reminders later, such as quickly pushing the body into the crematorium after death, otherwise, it might cause the wife and daughter's hair to split.

She could also go to pay respects at Mr. Wei's memorial hall and watch the drama unfold.

The mistresses and illegitimate children causing a scene at the memorial hall: in her previous life, Shi Li had only heard about it secondhand. This life, she definitely wanted to see it live!

Just as she was thinking about what excuse to use to bring Wei Yi along, she heard a familiar voice.

[Forget it, I can see Feng Yunhe anytime. If I don't see Wei Yongsheng, that old scumbag, soon, I might only be able to see him in black and white photos.]

Wei Yi: ... If Wei Yongsheng wasn't her own father, she should probably be laughing secretly.
