Chapter 39: So What?

Looking at Zhou Shishi’s incredibly flirtatious appearance, Li Fulong smiled with great pride.

Meanwhile, Han An and Xu Yina were on their way to the Huazhu Inn.

Perhaps because of the previous fright, Xu Yina remained silent after getting into the car.

She crossed her arms and frowned as she looked out the window.

Han An originally wanted to comfort her, but since the driver was present, he planned to wait until they arrived at the Huazhu Inn before properly comforting Xu Yina.

Just then, Han An’s phone rang.

When he saw that it was his wife calling, Han An didn’t even want to answer.

Talking to his wife on the phone when he’s in a bad mood will only make him feel worse.

But in the end, Han An still chose to answer the call.

“Hello.”

“Honey, did you just go to see Li Fulong?”

Hearing this, Han An already knew that Li Fulong had called his wife.

Since that’s the case, there’s no need to hide it anymore.

“Yes,” Han An said, “I did go to see Li Fulong just now, but it wasn’t because of you!”

Wanting to know what the two of them were talking about, Xu Yina moved a little closer to Han An.

After moving closer to Han An, Xu Yina even leaned her ear in.

“Honey, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

“I’m asking you, what exactly is your relationship with Li Fulong?”

“He was my former boss, that’s all.”

“Did you see him during your trip to Lijiang?”

“have.”

“Didn’t you stop being a tour guide a long time ago? Why do you still want to see him in Lijiang? Is it because he was so good to you back then that you can’t wait to see him?”

“It was just because he knew I was going to Lijiang that we arranged to have dinner together.”

“How did he know you were going to Lijiang?”

“Don’t I have a habit of posting pictures of my plane tickets?”

“Then let me ask you,” Han An said after a pause, his face cold, “what kind of person is he in your eyes?”

“Neither good nor bad.”

“Has he ever engaged in any illicit sexual relations with female tour guides?”

“I don’t know about that.”

“Do you know what he just said?” Han An said angrily. “He said he’s slept with at least fifty women in his life, all of them either prostitutes or respectable women. He even made it very clear that he once slept with a married woman who was willing to be sexually exploited in order to become a tour guide. Plus, he was your boss at the time, and you said you were the best-performing tour guide at that travel agency. I really want to know how you flattered him so that he would arrange tours for you that would greatly boost your sales.”

“I relied on my own abilities, and it has nothing to do with him.”

Have you ever ripped off tourists while leading a tour?

“What?”

“Take them shopping and then take a cut of the profits.”

“Never.”

“Hehe,” Han An chuckled helplessly, “Bai Jing, I admit you’re a great liar, but you’re really lying through your teeth. Even though I’ve never been a tour guide, I know that every travel agency has people who take tourists shopping and get a cut. In my opinion, the people with good performance are those kinds of people, not people like you who never rip off tourists.”

“The travel agency I used to work for didn’t have any shopping stops.”

“Do you think I’d believe that?” Han An said. “If you said some travel agencies have eliminated the shopping segment now, then I might believe it. But several years ago, I absolutely wouldn’t have believed it. Plus, Li Fulong used to be your boss, so I’m really curious how you managed to be number one in sales!”

“Honey, why can’t you believe me?”

“That’s because you’re lying to me!”

“I’m your wife, I wouldn’t lie to you.”

“You still dare to say you didn’t lie to me?” After a pause, Han An said, “Then tell me, what exactly did you do in the two or three days before you went back to your parents’ home!”

“It’s just a stroll around the old town, I’ve already told my husband that.”

“Bai Jing, I’m not stupid. You can’t fool me with your tricks for kids.”

“Otherwise, where did you think I went?”

When his wife asked him that question, Han An’s facial muscles twitched.

It was as if his wife was taunting him, implying that he would never find out the truth in his lifetime!

Before Han An could refute, his wife asked on the phone, “Did you ask me to go back to Shenzhen first just so I could be with Xu Yina?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I know you’re with Xu Yina now.”

“So what?”

“She’s the supervisor at the hot pot restaurant. She couldn’t have been in Lijiang for no reason, so it must be because of you. Honey, when we were choosing between Jiang Yan and Xu Yina, I suggested that Jiang Yan be the supervisor. Jiang Yan has much more work experience than Xu Yina, and she’s also more reliable. But you didn’t listen to me and made Xu Yina the supervisor instead. At the time, I didn’t understand why, but now I do.”

“Just say what you mean directly, don’t use veiled meanings.”

“You cheated on me, didn’t you?”

Hearing this, Han An found it somewhat laughable.

It was clearly his wife who cheated on him, but now he’s the one who’s been outmaneuvered.

After taking a deep breath, Han An said, “Bai Jing, let me tell you, I, Han An, have never done anything to wrong you in my life.”

“Then why is she with you?”

“She was traveling in Lijiang when I ran into her.”

“That’s quite a coincidence.”

“It is indeed too much of a coincidence, but that’s the truth.”

“I really hope you’re not lying to me.”

“Why would I lie to you?” Han An said. “I’m telling you, I made Xu Yina the foreman because she’s quick-witted and can handle many unexpected situations. As for Jiang Yan, I admit she’s a diligent employee, but she’s only suited to following orders, not managing employees. And since Xu Yina became the foreman, has she ever made a mistake? No, never. So I know my choice was right. As for why she’s in Lijiang, I’ve already told you, believe it or not.”

“I can trust you, but why won’t you trust me?”

“That’s because you’ve been lying lately,” Han An said, his chest tight. “First, you lied and said you were going back to your parents’ home to spend National Day with your mother, but you ended up staying in the city for three days. Then you lied and said your phone’s front and rear cameras were broken. And when I came to Lijiang and saw you, you lied and said you injured your wrist while playing an escape room game. There were several other lies after that, but I’m too lazy to go through them all. And now, you still have the nerve to say that you and Li Fulong are innocent? Li Fulong is a lecher, and you’re a rare beauty. He definitely took advantage of you back then.”

“That’s not true!”

“Did he pay for your mother’s medical treatment, which cost around 500,000 yuan?”

“No, I got it by chance in Ruili. I’ve already explained that to you.”

“I don’t believe you have that kind of damn luck!”

“Someone always wins the lottery, so why can’t I win once?”

“Because Li Fulong was your boyfriend at the time!”

“Who said that?”
