Chapter 29 - Familiar Faces Expose Ma Yulian? Rumors Spread!

"Before, he would hand over his money to you right away. Why would he want to divide it with his children? Could he have found out something?"

"Especially since he's not afraid of divorcing you!"

Chen Dazhu believed Li Junsheng might have found out about his affair with Ma Yulian.

But he had no concrete evidence.

Ma Yulian understood his meaning. After analyzing for a moment, she thought it was impossible.

"If Li Junsheng knew about our affair, how could he stay calm? He would either continue being a pushover or kick me out of the house."

"It's probably not about finding out about us. I think he might have found someone else outside, which is why he's not afraid of divorcing me!"

The two spent a long time speculating about Li Junsheng but couldn't come to any conclusions.

Chen Dazhu couldn't have imagined that Li Junsheng had completely changed his personality.

Thinking about it carefully, all of Li Junsheng's strange behavior started after that drinking session.

Chen Dazhu immediately asked Ma Yulian, "Yulian, what did Li Junsheng do these two days after drinking with us? Tell me everything!"

Ma Yulian carefully thought about Li Junsheng's odd behavior and slowly told Chen Dazhu:

"Ever since that day he drank, he's been like a different person. He doesn't do housework anymore and even dares to order me around, taking advantage of our need for him to get the proof."

"He used to be so meek, but now he dares to discipline Elder Brother and shout at me. When Second Son's grandson was sick and asked for money, he gave two hundred without hesitation!"

"He seems to have gotten smarter all of a sudden, making Elder Brother fawn over him and personally serve him water."

Hearing about Li Junsheng's recent strange behavior, Chen Dazhu knew something was off about him.

But he couldn't figure out the exact reason for his personality change.

Chen Dazhu could only warn Ma Yulian, "Li Junsheng is definitely acting strange. Stay calm at home for now and see what he's up to. Let me know if anything unusual happens."

Chen Dazhu sighed. He thought buying Li Junsheng's job and getting the money back through Ma Yulian would be a perfect plan.

But Li Junsheng's unpredictable behavior had caused all sorts of complications.

Ma Yulian followed Chen Dazhu's advice obediently.

"Alright, I'll keep an eye on Li Junsheng. If he has another woman outside, I can use this opportunity to kick him out."

"Then the house and his money will be ours. He won't get a cent. I'll have a good reason to deal with him properly."

Ma Yulian hoped Li Junsheng had another woman outside. Chen Dazhu's eyes lit up when he heard her words.

The house was worth more than a thousand dollars. If he could get it, he would make a huge profit!

Chen Dazhu hugged Ma Yulian and started sweet-talking her, making her completely lose her head.

"Li Junsheng has such a good woman at home. If he's still seeing someone else, that's really not knowing what's good for him!"

"You marrying him is really a waste of yourself. Looking at how you have to take care of several children and the whole family, I really feel sorry for you."

Ma Yulian sincerely sighed, "Luckily Li Junsheng's parents are gone, otherwise I would still have to serve those two old people!"

"Li Junsheng is such a stubborn person. He's not as considerate as you. Your wife doesn't know what she's missing!"

After some intimate conversation, Chen Dazhu continued lying to her, "Yulian, I'm really sorry for you. Don't worry, I won't make you wait too long. Once Zhiyuan settles down and gets married, we'll get married too."

"Then we'll split the house with Zhiyuan and live our own lives. We'll do whatever makes us happy every day."

Ma Yulian was lost in the beautiful future Chen Dazhu painted for her, truly believing he wanted to marry her and live a good life together!

Ma Yulian's somewhat stout body nestled in Chen Dazhu's arms, nodding coyly.

"Alright, when Zhiyuan gets married, we'll have our own world. As long as I can be with you, I won't feel wronged!"

Chen Dazhu chuckled. He had never seen such a stupid woman.

"Let's talk later. I need to go to my parents' house. I'll find you another day. It's not safe here."

In the small alley, people could come at any time.

Ma Yulian didn't dare stay too long, so she left with Chen Dazhu one after the other.

Walking out of the alley, Ma Yulian couldn't help but fix her hair. Unexpectedly, she was seen by a sister-in-law pair living next door.

The older sister, Zhang, was the most gossipy woman in the apartment building. Her sister-in-law was also the same type of person.

"Hey, isn't that Sister Yulian? Why are you coming out of this alley? Where are you going?"

Ma Yulian didn't expect to be seen by these two. Afraid they would gossip about her, she had to pretend to be calm and cover up her meeting with Chen Dazhu.

"I just ran into a thief who stole my bag and ran into the alley. I couldn't catch them!"

"Oh, that's terrible! We should take you to report it."

The sisters-in-law came over to take Ma Yulian to report the incident, but she stammered, "Never mind. There's nothing valuable in my bag anyway. I have urgent matters at my parents' house. I can't afford to be delayed!"

Saying this, she broke free from the sisters-in-law and hurried off to her parents' house without looking back.

Seeing her hurried pace, the younger sister leaned in to whisper to her sister-in-law, "Sister, do you think she really was chasing a thief?"

Zhang sneered, "In broad daylight, where would there be so many thieves? I knew she was lying. Who knows what she was doing in that alley!"

"Look at her, doing nothing all day, dressed up like a flower, clearly not a good woman."

The younger sister wholeheartedly agreed with Zhang, nodding vigorously.

"Pity Brother Zhang next door. Such a honest and kind man, how did he end up with such a woman? Should we warn Brother Li?"

"How do we warn him?"

As the sisters walked home, they continued gossiping about Ma Yulian.

When they got downstairs, there were still people chatting in small groups.

Seeing them return and discussing something intensely, they couldn't help but laugh and ask.

"What are you sisters-in-law talking about? Not gossiping about someone's business again?"

"No way! We were just coming home when we saw Sister Yulian coming out of an alley. She said she ran into a thief who stole her bag and ran into the alley!"

"We said we'd take her to report it, but she refused, saying she had urgent matters at her parents' house and had to rush off..."
