CHAPTER 350: CHAPTER 350

Xue Junyi couldn’t dare to imagine that Cheng Huiyan was a public prostitute, and he had even registered for marriage with her. If people found out, he would feel utterly humiliated.

Besides, every time he thought about how many people had played with Cheng Huiyan’s body while he had been so close to her, he felt sick to his stomach.

Therefore, before getting a clear answer from Cheng Huiyan, Xue Junyi prayed over and over again, hoping that heaven wouldn’t be so cruel to him.

He could accept the fact that his efforts were all for naught, but his male pride absolutely would not allow him to bring home a woman like that.

It wasn’t just Xue Junyi, at this moment, Chen Mei’s heart was also trembling: "Huiyan, you’re not really in that line of work, right? You just bought the wrong house, didn’t you?"

Before coming to Yan City this time, she had boasted in the village that her new daughter-in-law was not only wealthy but also a delicate rich girl, and that she would be following them to live a life of luxury in the city.

Their family’s second aunt had warned her to be careful and to watch out for scams; Chen Mei had torn into her, even accusing the second aunt of being unable to bear seeing Junyi doing well.

After such a scene, the second aunt had been thoroughly offended by her and even declared she would cut off all ties with their family from then on.

In reality, previously, the second aunt had been quite good to their family, always sending them tasty food and sometimes even helping them out when they didn’t have money to buy rice.

Even the shabby little house they used to live in was borrowed from the second aunt.

In the past, Chen Mei would never have dared to offend this second aunt.

But after finding out that Xue Junyi had registered the marriage with a rich girl, Chen Mei spoke with a lot more confidence.

She didn’t apologize for offending the second aunt, and even packed her bags overnight to move out of the shabby house.

When Chen Mei left the shabby house, she never thought that one day she would be brought back down to earth, desperately going back to beg the second aunt.

But now, not only does Cheng Huiyan not own those luxurious houses, but she might very well be a prostitute?

No...

Please don’t let it be true.

Otherwise, how would she face anyone in the future?

Seeing the expressions on Xue Junyi and Chen Mei, Cheng Huiyan also felt terrible.

She had guessed that they would be so concerned about her previous occupation, which was why she didn’t want to let them move into the only property she owned.

But it seemed they were after her property.

And their behavior today, mother and son both, had truly disappointed her to the core.

Cheng Huiyan steeled her heart and simply confessed frankly: "Both Jiaojiao and I are in the same profession, you guessed right."

At that moment, Xue Junyi felt as if lightning had struck his brain, almost splitting his head open.

So, her appearance in Platinum Blue County in the middle of the night was to provide house calls?

He had racked his brains and even gave up on someone he liked, only to marry someone without money and akin to a public bus that’s about to break down?

In a fit of rage, Xue Junyi roared at Cheng Huiyan: "Why didn’t you tell me sooner? If I had known you were this disgusting, I would have never registered our marriage!"

He even rushed forward and repeatedly slapped Cheng Huiyan across the face.

Even as Jiaojiao continued to persuade them to sit down and discuss the matter properly, Xue Junyi was beyond listening.

When Chen Mei heard Cheng Huiyan admitting to her line of work, the only thought left in her mind was—It’s over!

She couldn’t even dare to imagine, if this matter were to spread, how the people from the village would talk.

Only when sounds of fighting and crying came through did Chen Mei snap back to reality.

Upon closer observation, Chen Mei saw Xue Junyi slapping Cheng Huiyan, and Jiaojiao tugging at Xue Junyi’s hair trying to save Cheng Huiyan.

Chen Mei would naturally not stand by and watch her own son get beaten; she quickly rushed forward and grabbed Jiaojiao’s long hair: "Dare to hit a man from Old Xue’s family, you’re asking for death."

Jiaojiao could only shift her target, ending up scuffling with Chen Mei.

Xue Junyi vented his rage, throwing several punches at Cheng Huiyan: "You whore, why did you deceive me!"

Cheng Huiyan suddenly laughed: "Did I deceive you? You never once asked about my job because you were solely focused on whether the designer bags I carried were real or fake!"

"You were the ones who used every tactic possible to move into this building. Plus, have you forgotten you promised me not to get angry with me no matter what you heard here?"

Cheng Huiyan’s words turned Xue Junyi’s face paler and paler.

He had believed that he might hear rumors about Cheng Huiyan owning other properties in Platinum Blue County, which was why he made that promise.

But it never crossed his mind that he would discover in such a squalid place that Cheng Huiyan was actually a public prostitute...

After the beating, Xue Junyi realized his feelings of indignation and helplessness had nowhere to go, so he let go of Cheng Huiyan’s hair and proposed: "Let’s divorce."

Chen Mei immediately echoed in agreement: "Yeah, divorce! And since you’ve deceived our Junyi, you need to sell this house and compensate him for his emotional distress!"

Chen Mei was also calculating that if she could get the money, she could at least rent a better house nearby and not return to her village just yet.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Huiyan retorted with cold sarcasm: "I’m the one who deceived you? It’s clearly you who are shamelessly trying to swindle the house from me."

Jiaojiao straightened her almost torn dress and hastily stepped forward to support: "Exactly, and you’ve beaten Sister Yan to this state, she could totally sue you and demand compensation for damages!"

Chen Mei’s demand for compensation was rejected, and she was itching to start a fight again.

At that moment, Cheng Huiyan quickly pulled Jiaojiao into her room and locked the old-fashioned gate.

Through the gate, Cheng Huiyan coldly declared to Chen Mei and Xue Junyi: "In any case, don’t even dream of getting a hold of this apartment. If you have the guts, keep at it, see who’ll back down first!"

This apartment was her hard-earned haven for old age; she would never let Xue Junyi and his mother set their sights on it.

Moreover, her reputation had never been good, and after being deceived so much in this marriage, she no longer wished to remarry in the future.

But with Xue Junyi’s character, he probably still hoped to gain from marriage without working for it, so he definitely couldn’t outlast her!

Having said what she wanted, Cheng Huiyan slammed the wooden door shut.

Xue Junyi and Chen Mei, faced with a closed door, could only leave dejectedly.

They were just relieved that they had not yet returned to the village for a wedding banquet, hoping the incident wouldn’t blow up too much.

But just after they left Cheng Huiyan’s house, Chen Mei received a call from her youngest daughter.

"Mom, Brother got scammed into a marriage, did you know about it?"

Chen Mei suddenly panicked: "How do you know?"

The younger daughter said: "How do I know? The internet is awash with news of my brother being duped into a marriage for money, only to be deceived out of wealth and affection by a prostitute."

Chen Mei was hard of hearing, so the volume on her phone was turned up high.

Thus, the younger sister’s voice quickly reached Xue Junyi’s ears.

He hurriedly pulled out his phone to check the news, and it was just as his sister had said; search engines were full of videos about him fighting in his dormitory and being gossiped about.

Seeing her son’s phone, Chen Mei leaned in to look.

When she saw the video titles, Chen Mei felt everything was over and fainted.

So, Xue Junyi, still reeling from the devastation to his reputation, had to rush Chen Mei to the hospital.

Elsewhere, Jiang Moxi, after tutoring Ling Hua, suddenly asked her: "How about in a few days, I invite your idol Cang Ming over for a chat to cheer you up?"

Jiang Moxi made this offer because he had previously promised Ling Hua that she could meet Cang Ming.

Ling Hua’s college entrance exams were in just over two months.

So Jiang Moxi planned to use this opportunity to motivate Ling Hua and mitigate the impact of her heartbreak.

On the other hand, Jiang Moxi also wanted to put a perfect end to the bond between him and Ling Hua before leaving Yan City...
