"Sister Feng Jin, you don't know, he..."
"Shut up, I don't want to hear it!" Before Lin Yuwei could start pouring out her woes, Feng Jin raised her hand and stopped her.
She was too busy with her own troubles to even take care of herself, and truly had no energy left to listen to Lin Yuwei complain. Their marital issues were for them to resolve behind closed doors, and she didn't want to be bothered by it.
"Sister Feng Jin, you're not paying attention to me anymore..."
Lin Yuwei felt wronged in her heart, her mood instantly soured. Her nose prickled, and tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.
This startled Feng Jin. She hadn't said anything harsh, so why was she crying now? It made it seem like she had bullied her.
"Don't cry, just tell me slowly what's wrong. No rush..."
Truly frightened by Lin Yuwei's sudden behavior, she quickly tried to comfort her.
In contrast, Chu Chenyi, standing by, had a calm and indifferent expression, as if he was accustomed to Lin Yuwei's behavior.
Chu Chenyi picked up his teacup and took a sip, then placed his hands together in front of him, quietly waiting to see what new trouble Lin Yuwei would cause next.
"Why are you just watching the show? Don't you know how to persuade her?"
Despite all her conciliatory words, Lin Yuwei remained unmoved, only sobbing softly, completely undisturbed by the outside world.
Feng Jin was at her wit's end. Glancing at Chu Chenyi's aloof stance of not getting involved, she became even more indignant. She vented all her anger onto Chu Chenyi.
This was his consort, carrying his child, and she was crying like this. Yet, he sat there, indifferent, even having the mood to drink tea, leaving her to awkwardly coax her alone. The more Feng Jin thought about it, the angrier she became.
Chu Chenyi helplessly put down his teacup: "I've long been accustomed to this. She cries two or three times a day now. If the food isn't to her liking, the tea is cold, or even if the flowers by the door aren't blooming beautifully, she'll cry. Tell me, how am I supposed to coax her like this?"
He was truly helpless with Lin Yuwei. He had tried every method, but the effect was minimal, with no effect at all.
He was now at a loss. Since Lin Yuwei listened to Feng Jin the most, he might as well let Feng Jin find a way to talk to her. He had the will but not the strength.
"You're talking nonsense! You're clearly deliberately angering me. And while I'm pregnant, you have one beauty here and another there, embracing them left and right, enjoying the pleasures of having multiple women. You've never coaxed me even once!"
Speaking of this matter made Lin Yuwei even sadder. If she had only been sobbing softly earlier, she was now wailing, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
Feng Jin was also startled by Lin Yuwei's sudden outburst, freezing in place. She didn't know what to do. If she went to coax her now, she wouldn't know what to say. Ultimately, this was Chu Chenyi's fault, so he should figure out how to clean up his own mess.
Taking a step back, Feng Jin directly pushed Chu Chenyi forward: "You caused it, so you deal with it."
Chu Chenyi was also helpless with Lin Yuwei and could only brace himself and step forward: "Can you stop crying for a moment? Actually, I can explain all these things. Those beauties are all..."
"Shut up, you go... you go find your beauties!"
She was enraged, her mind filled with the image of Chu Chenyi embracing those beauties. Lin Yuwei couldn't hear anything he said now, only knowing that she didn't want to see Chu Chenyi for the moment.
Feng Jin pushed the problem aside and sat back on her chair, still leisurely munching on melon seeds with her legs crossed, watching the show.
Now Chu Chenyi was in big trouble. Let's see how he would resolve this. Dare to find beauties, and getting caught red-handed means big trouble.
As Ling Mohan stepped into the courtyard, he heard the sounds of arguing mixed with a woman's cries. He quickened his pace and walked in, only to see this dramatic scene.
Why had the two of them come again? What had Chu Chenyi offended Lin Yuwei with this time?
His gaze fell upon Feng Jin, who was sitting with her legs crossed watching the show. He knew that the two of them were having a serious argument again, so he didn't speak to disturb them, and instead walked to Feng Jin's side.
Feng Jin, engrossed in watching, noticed someone approaching her. She looked up slightly and saw Ling Mohan. Watching the show was the priority now, and she didn't have the mind to argue with Ling Mohan about anything else.
After all, she was currently enjoying Chu Chenyi's predicament. If she started arguing with Ling Mohan instead, it would be awkward. It was better to put this matter aside for now and finish watching Chu Chenyi's spectacle before dealing with other things.
"What's going on with the two of them now?"
As soon as he sat down, Ling Mohan impatiently asked Feng Jin for the reason.
"You can see for yourself. If you ask me, I don't even know what's going on."
She had only just started watching and truly didn't understand why the two of them were arguing so fiercely.
After being rejected, Ling Mohan felt a little dejected. It seemed Feng Jin was still angry, so he should behave himself and not stir up more trouble. He simply sat down quietly, watching to see what the two of them would do.
Lin Yuwei's intense sobbing had subsided into gentle whimpers. After crying like that, the anger in her heart had dissipated significantly. Her rationality was gradually returning, and she was now willing to listen to Chu Chenyi's explanation.
She had seen with her own eyes Chu Chenyi embracing two beauties. She wanted to see how Chu Chenyi would explain it, and if he could turn black into white.
"Tell me, what exactly happened last night? Where did those two beauties in your room come from? You didn't bring them in, did they just crawl into your bed themselves!"
Lin Yuwei's tone unconsciously became more angry. Thinking back to that scene, she still found it extremely irritating.
"I don't know what happened either. I was so drunk and groggy then, I had no idea how those two got in, let alone how they ended up in my bed!"
Chu Chenyi tried his best to explain. He was truly drunk at the time and had no idea what had happened, nor how two women ended up lying in his bed.
It wasn't until Lin Yuwei came in that he woke up, and then everything that Lin Yuwei knew happened.
"You can fool children with these lies, but do you really think I'll believe you!"
