Chapter 27
In the past few days, Sheng Mumu felt that she was about to lose control of her facial expressions.
She would be overjoyed one second because the flower shop business was booming.
The next second, when someone passed by and saw her, she had to have a touch of sadness between her brows again, not daring to be too unbridled in her happiness.
Alas!
How could a wife who just found out her husband was cheating smile so radiantly?
As long as she stayed in the position of Qi Mo's wife for one more day, she had to react the way a wife should.
Exhausting.
So exhausting.
Fortunately, she knew well that the life cycle of each piece of gossip was not long. When new gossip appeared, no one would remember Qi Mo's affair anymore.
As long as she didn't overreact, peacefully riding out this period, everything could get better.
However, things did not develop in the direction she had envisioned. The more indifferent she appeared, the more others cared, eager to pry more insider news from her mouth.
People kept asking her out for afternoon tea and mahjong a few times a week.
She declined several times with the excuse that "the shop just opened and is too busy."
Until she felt bad about declining again, she reluctantly accepted Mrs. Sun's mahjong invitation.
After all, quite a few ladies in the wives' group had helped the Yueji Flower Shop, so if she took their money and then didn't show up, it would look like she had taken the money and run.
That day, she reluctantly went out to fulfill the mahjong appointment.
At the same time, Wang Qinwei also walked out of her home.
Ever since being lectured by her husband last time, Wang Qinwei became more and more angry the more she thought about it.
Her husband, who usually indulged her every wish with gentle words, had never been so fierce to her.
She blamed it on Sheng Mumu.
She rolled her eyes towards the sky, and they almost popped out.
Humph, the fact that Qi Mo kept a mistress was already true. Why couldn't she say it?
Just because Qi Mo's business was big?
Wang Qinwei was unwilling. Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
Today, she specially got Mrs. Qian to give up her mahjong spot for herself.
She looked forward to ridiculing Sheng Mumu well at the mahjong table.
...
This was Sheng Mumu's first time playing mahjong with the villa area ladies.
When she arrived at Mrs. Sun's house, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Sun were already sitting at the table.
Sheng Mumu lowered her head and quickly edited the message while the automatic mahjong table was still shuffling.
Just as she was about to hit send, her phone screen darkened.
The battery was low and it automatically shut down...
Sheng Mumu: ...
Beijing Airport.
A tall, upright man walked out of the VIP passage.
With exquisite proportions, chiseled, aloof features, his coat swaying slightly as he walked, every frame was like a picture from a fashion magazine.
The temperature in Beijing was much higher than in Shen City.
As Qi Mo walked, he took off his coat and handed it to the driver Xiao Wang who had come to pick him up, casually asking:
"Where's my wife?"
Xiao Wang was baffled.
How would he know?
But as a capable subordinate, he could not say "I don't know"
He had to either provide an answer or suggest a solution.
"I'll call the butler Zhang right away."
Qi Mo's magnetic, husky voice responded. "Never mind, I'll call him."
The reason Qi Mo suddenly asked Xiao Wang was because when he called Sheng Mumu earlier, her phone was off.
After receiving Mr. Wang's call a few days ago, he decided that when he returned to Beijing, he would go home first instead of rushing back to work, to talk with Sheng Mumu about that matter.
Perhaps it was the habit developed from years of doing business.
When faced with any problem, he preferred to communicate face-to-face.
That way he could directly see the other's reaction and expression.
On the phone, the butler Zhang told Qi Mo:
"Madam has been invited by Mrs. Sun to play mahjong. They have asked Madam many times, and Madam was reluctant to go at first. But today she must have been in a good mood and went to Mrs. Sun's house to play mahjong. What a coincidence, she probably won't be back for a while. Sir, do you need me to pass on to Madam that you've returned?"
Qi Mo was silent for a few seconds, and said lightly, "No need."
Seeing Qi Mo hang up, Xiao Wang turned his head and asked,
"Boss Qi, shall we go now?"
Qi Mo's slender, well-proportioned fingers gently tapped on the car window frame as he gazed out the window. Suddenly he asked:
"Xiao Wang, do you know which villa Mrs. Sun lives in?"
