"If thereās anything else, just say it directly!"
"Uh..." Hopefully Chairman Hai doesnāt hold grudges, "Thereās one more piece of news, itās that Chairman Hai was... was..."
"Was what?" Hai Shuangjie asked angrily.
Hai Yunfeng had roughly guessed it and said directly, "Cuckolded?"
The confidential secretary looked at him with admiration, "Yes!" Minister, you truly are the smartest person in the district, thatās impressive, that you could guess this.
He had just received the news and took three minutes to digest it.
Hai Shuangjie suddenly stood up and then collapsed back down in despair. His face was ashen, eyes blood-red, and his fist clenched on the armrest of the sofa, veins popping on his hand.
"You may leave!"
"Yes!" The confidential secretary left as if fleeing.
Hai Yunfeng silently looked at Hai Shuangjie. As a man, as his own younger brother, he didnāt really know what to say. After a long silence, He asked, "What do you plan to do with this woman?"
After a long time, Hai Shuangjie finally shouted, "Let her fend for herself!"
"And Lanlan?"
"Just consider it raising an ingrate."
"Hmm!" Hai Yunfeng nodded with satisfaction. The family disgrace was exposed by the daughter they raised since childhood, itās embarrassing on one hand. It also shows Hai Lanās selfishness and lack of brains.
To expose her own fatherās scandal, if itās not selfishness, what is it?
To say everything when deceived, if itās not lack of brains, what is it?
"Brother, why am I such a failure?"
Hai Yunfeng was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "I feel like a failure too."
"But at least Hai Shen is good."
"But thatās not my doing either, Hai Shen was raised by our father." Hai Yunfeng admitted to his failure. Ever since his wife died and his daughter disappeared, he hadnāt really been involved with Hai Shen.
Hai Shen was raised by the old man, as a father he hadnāt actually invested much emotion.
For so many years, he focused all his energy on work, trying to forget the heart-wrenching pain.
"Stay out of this, let me handle everything."
"Hmm! Thank you, big brother."
"Itās just a cheating woman, no need to be sad."
"Donāt worry."
Hai Shuangjie is considered very gentle, his heart is not bad, and he values old feelings. But Hai Yunfeng wouldnāt let it go, even though his brother said to let Zhou Yuan off, anyone daring to cuckold his brother must be ready to pay the price.
So many years have passed, it seems many people have forgotten Hai Yunfengās might.
If thereās no bloodshed this time, they might really think the Hai Familyās scandal is amusing!
******
There are many detention rooms at the union, and whether intentional or not, Hai Lan and Zhou Yuan were put together.
Zhou Yuan went in first, Hai Lan went in later. When she saw Zhou Yuan already dressed in blue suspect attire, she instinctively moved to the corner.
Zhou Yuan sat on the ground, hugging her knees, staring at her. The complex emotions that Hai Lan couldnāt understand before became fully clear to her in that moment.
Hatred, regret, disappointment, and despair.
These strong rejecting feelings surged like overwhelming seawater, almost drowning Hai Lan.
"Mom, Iām sorry, Iām sorry!" Hai Lan couldnāt hold it any longer and fell to her knees in front of Zhou Yuan, crying bitterly. "Mom, I was wrong, I didnāt mean it, I was wrong. I was just talking nonsense, I actually donāt know anything."
Zhou Yuan, like a puppet, didnāt move regardless of how much Hai Lan shook her.
