Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Sun Dongming Catches an Adulterer
Sun Dongming stormed out furiously, and after he had closed the door, Song Xiaodong perked up his ears to listen to his departing footsteps. Then, through clenched teeth, he whispered sharply, "Hiss... loosen up, youâre killing me!"
Just now, Li Sijie had actually bitten his leg with her mouth. Even though Song Xiaodongâs leg muscles were tense, it was still unbearably painful.
Feeling the pressure on his leg ease, Song Xiaodong quickly pushed the table and moved back.
He was still in those beach shorts, bare-legged, and hurriedly lifted his leg up to reveal a clearly visible bite mark on the thigh just above his kneeâit was deep, and even had traces of blood.
"Hey," are you a dog or something, biting me so viciously? Do you know how much pain I had to endure just now?" Song Xiaodong complained, but as his gaze fell under the table, his voice suddenly softened, "President Li, donât be sad. I did that just now on purpose, to make you see his true face."
Li Sijie sat on the ground, her expression vacant and motionless, as if her whole being had lost its soul.
Ignoring the pain in his leg, Song Xiaodong went over, pulled Li Sijie up, and then helped her sit on the sofa.
Like a walking corpse, Li Sijie did not respond at all to whatever Song Xiaodong did.
This situation made Song Xiaodong somewhat worried. Some people can have mental breakdowns after suffering a severe shock. In regards to marital relations, Li Sijie was clearly a loser. Whether she could withstand this was really hard to say.
Suddenly, he knocked on Li Sijieâs back, producing a crisp sound, and said, "Snap out of it!"
The pain in her back finally made Li Sijieâs body jolt, and she turned her head to look at Song Xiaodong, her eyes no longer so dull.
"Sigh! Why donât you just cry it out? Holding in your sadness is really harmful to your body."
Li Sijie looked at Song Xiaodong, tears quickly welling up in her eyes, and then suddenly she threw herself on Song Xiaodongâs shoulder and burst into tears with a "wah."
Once she started crying, Li Sijie couldnât stop, and Song Xiaodong didnât try to stop her either. Crying out oneâs grief is always better than bottling it up, so he simply patted her back gently to console her.
"Thump!"
All of a sudden, the door was violently pushed open, and there Sun Dongming barged in, holding a cellphone in his hand.
Li Sijie pushed Song Xiaodong away at once, turned around to see it was Sun Dongming, and her face turned ashen in an instant. Sitting there staring at Sun Dongming, she looked completely petrified.
Pointing his finger accusatorily at Li Sijie, Sun Dongming bellowed, "Well done, Li Sijie. Iâve long suspected you were messing around with someone at the clubhouse, and this time I caught you red-handed. What do you have to say for yourself now?"
Song Xiaodong couldnât help but feel somewhat amused and said, "Hey, Sun Dongming, you have the nerve to strut around here, but itâs you whoâs keeping a woman on the side."
Sun Dongming sneered and said, "You say I keep a woman outside, whereâs your evidence? I saw with my own eyes you two adulterers embracing. Besides, I do have evidence." Saying that, he brandished his cellphone again.
After Sun Dongming left, he became increasingly flustered and worried. He had finally been about to get his hands on some money, but the thing was, he had been found out. What worried him most was that he didnât trust Song Xiaodongâif Song Xiaodong told Li Sijie about this, he would really be doomed.
So, as soon as he stepped out of the guild hall, he turned around and went back, reaching Li Sijieâs office door. There, he heard Li Sijie crying. Peering through the crack in the door, he saw Li Sijie and Song Xiaodong hugging each other.
Normally, any man who saw his wife hugging another man would be furious, but not Sun Dongming. Instead of anger, he first felt shock, and then he burst into joy.
He knew very well that if Li Sijie found out about his affair, she would certainly not mortgage the guild hall. They would have to divorce, and of course, they would need to divide their assets. If he was the one at fault, he might end up with less or nothing at all. He had made up his mind to deny everything to the bitter end. As long as Li Sijie had no evidence, they would have to split the divorce assets equally. Considering their total assets were around tens of millions, taking half wasnât a small amount.
But now things were different. If he could capture evidence of Li Sijieâs infidelity, and still stubbornly deny his own wrongdoing, wouldnât he end up with more of the assetsâand it might even be possible for him to take over the guild hall entirely.
He was truly excited now, quickly pulled out his cell phone, set it to record, burst through the door, and captured the scene of the two hugging.
Song Xiaodong had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen anyone this shameless. He wanted to see just what Sun Dongming would do. Leaning back, he said, "Just because you filmed us hugging, you think that proves infidelity? Do you have any legal sense at all?"
Sun Dongming glared, snorted coldly, and said, "You really think I donât understand the law? Let me tell you, I understand it very clearly."
"You understand? Donât blow hot air," Song Xiaodong said dismissively.
Smirking smugly, Sun Dongming said, "Hah, you think Iâm talking big. Iâll have you know, to prepare for the divorce, Iâve not only consulted a lawyer, but Iâve also thoroughly studied the Marriage Law myself."
Song Xiaodong gave a thumbs up and said, "Youâve really gone to great lengths for a larger share of the assets in the divorce, havenât you? Tell me, youâre not a fool, so why donât you use that cleverness for something proper, instead of on things like this?"
Sun Dongming glared fiercely and said, "Kid, I havenât even started with you yet, and youâre here giving me lip. Stay quiet over there, or I wonât be so polite. Li Sijie, you tell me, how are we going to solve this?"
Finally regaining her composure, Li Sijieâs face quickly morphed from panic to rage as she stood up and snapped, "Sun Dongming, you kept a woman on the side, and youâre asking me what to do?"
Grinning, Sun Dongming said, "Thatâs just him talking rubbishâI havenât kept any woman on the side. But I have seen you two hugging with my own eyes. Now itâs you keeping a toy boy here."
"You... I was just too upset after hearing about your affair, and I leaned on his shoulder to cry," she said.
"Tsk tsk, what a sweet talker you are. Why didnât you find a woman to do that? Arenât there enough women in the guild hall? Yet you let a man stay here, and you say thereâs nothing between you? Who would believe that? Oh, and look, this guy has a bite mark on his leg, and it fits your mouth just right. Tsk tsk, I never would have guessed, Lu Sijie. You were so conservative with me, but you sure know how to play when youâre with a pretty boy."
"You..." Li Sijie quivered with rage, but she found it difficult to argue.
"Li Sijie, I really donât care about your little affairs, but if you donât want everyone in the guild hall to find out your business, then letâs just cut to the chase."
Knowing very well how much Li Sijie valued her reputation, Sun Dongming was directly blackmailing her by targeting her weak spot.
