Chapter 25 The Woman in the Bathroom
Chapter 25 The Woman in the Bathroom
This is quite a big story; everyone's eyes are on Zhang Qian's mother, Hu Jinling.
"Jinling, don't talk nonsense. How could Jiang Xiaoran's father be with another woman? Song Qiao is so beautiful. Those men who cheat on their wives are only cheating on because their wives are not attractive. Look at Song Qiao, she is so beautiful, it's impossible for her to be cheated on."
"Yes, our beautiful Song is only good at kicking others, not being kicked by others."
"Impossible! I heard that Song Qiao's husband works at Song Qiao's father's company. He's just benefiting from our beautiful Song Qiao's fame."
Even when everyone thought it was impossible, Song Qiao knew that Hu Jinling's words were true.
Jiang Ming not only cheated on his wife, but their current child is also his and his mistress's.
Song Qiao knew it wasn't the right time to make this public, so she smiled and said, "I know about what happened that day. The person with my husband was Secretary Zhao. I had to leave halfway through the day."
Song Qiao's explanation silenced everyone, and some people seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Yan hurriedly said, "Sisters, let's stick together from now on. If any man cheats on his wife, let's all go and confront him together."
"Alright! If anyone finds out their husband is cheating, let's all go together!"
"Nine people? That's quite a show of force!"
Someone reminded me.
"We need to make a big show of it, only then can we leave that mistress nowhere to hide."
"Yes! Many hands make light work."
Chen Rui glanced at the children and gave them a look: "Alright! Look at you bunch of crazy women, be careful the children don't misunderstand."
Song Qiao glanced at the children sitting at the table and reminded everyone, "The children are all grown up and sensible now, so please watch your words."
After being reminded by the two, the eight parents stopped mentioning the mistress, raised their glasses, and toasted together.
"Everyone, please make yourselves at home and don't be shy!" Song Qiao put down her wine glass and looked at the parents at the table.
I'm going to the restroom!
Song Qiao doesn't usually drink alcohol, but after drinking half a glass, she felt tipsy and left under the pretext of going to the restroom.
"Come back soon."
"You eat first!"
Song Qiao opened the door and went out, where she ran into Lu Mingxuan.
"So you were here all along? I've been looking for you for ages." Lu Mingxuan said with a relieved expression.
Song Qiao quickly pulled Lu Mingxuan aside: "What are you doing here? Where's Tong Tong?"
"Tong Tong went to the restroom, so I came out to look for you. Don't you not drink? Did someone get you drunk?"
Song Qiao looked at Lu Mingxuan. She had felt this concern when they graduated from high school. At that time, she found him annoying and even mocked him.
Looking into Lu Mingxuan's eyes, she seemed truly intoxicated. It felt so good to be cared for; she hadn't felt that way in a long time.
"Lu Mingxuan, thank you."
"Why are you thanking me? Didn't I say I don't need your thanks? Besides, I came to find you to ask when you're going to see Zhang Xia?"
Lu Mingxuan had already found Wang Xia's address from Bai Liang, and now he was driving to find her.
"I'll be gone for half a day in Zhoucheng and won't be back. I need to figure out a way to make arrangements for Jiang Xiaoran, otherwise it will be troublesome if Jiang Ming finds out about this."
Suddenly, she remembered that Jiang Ming would take Jiang Xiaoran home on the weekend. Each time, it would last all day. Sometimes, if it got late, he would call Song Qiao and come back the next morning.
"The day after tomorrow, since it's the weekend, Jiang Ming told me he's taking Jiang Xiaoran back to his mother's house."
Song Qiao didn't care whether Jiang Ming went back to his mother's house or went on a trip with Zhao Xiaoya. She just wanted to take this opportunity to find her daughter.
"Okay! Let's go the day after tomorrow then. I'll arrange my work at the hospital, and we'll go to Zhoucheng the day after tomorrow."
Just as Song Qiao was telling Lu Mingxuan to go back first, Tong Tong came out of the restroom.
"Lu Mingxuan, what are you doing?"
She had only been gone for a short while when Lu Mingxuan came looking for her.
Tong Tong looked at Jiu Xun with anger in her eyes, wanting to know her relationship with Lu Mingxuan.
"Nothing much, I just need to talk to my classmate about something. You can go in first."
"Oh, your classmate? No wonder he was pursuing me so closely?"
Tong Tong said sarcastically, walked over and hooked her arm around Lu Mingxuan's: "You should stay away from married men like this, to avoid getting into trouble."
Song Qiao frowned slightly as she watched Tong Tong linking arms with Lu Mingxuan. She glanced at her briefly and then went into the restroom.
Just when Song Qiao thought Tong Tong was leaving, she saw Tong Tong's angry expression reflected in the mirror behind her.
"Song Qiao, right? I heard you're married, so why are you still clinging to Mingxuan?"
Song Qiao glanced back at Tong Tong, searching her mind for details about her past life with Lu Mingxuan, only to find it was a blank.
Did Tong Tong not exist in her previous life?
“Miss Tong, you’ve misunderstood. I’m here to see Mingxuan about my daughter…”
"Your daughter's matter? Song Qiao, do you think I don't know? Lu Mingxuan liked you five years ago, but you didn't even give him a second glance back then. How come you're now married and eyeing other women while eating from the pot? Looking for excitement?"
In her previous life, there was no character named Tong Tong, so Song Qiao didn't know whether she was friend or foe. However, putting herself in Tong Tong's shoes, she would also feel jealous seeing her favorite male god with another woman.
"Miss Tong, it's really not what you think. I'm going back; they're still waiting for me!"
Seeing Song Qiao about to leave, Tong Tong blocked the doorway and said, "I'm warning you, stay away from Ming Xuan from now on. If I find you bothering him again, I'll go to your husband and complain about you."
"I've already said, there's nothing between Mingxuan and me."
"Look! Nothing much? You keep calling me Mingxuan, do you think I'm stupid?"
Just as Tong Tong was saying this, a person appeared at the bathroom door.
"Tong Tong, what are you doing? Why are you blocking Song Qiao's way?"
Lu Mingxuan walked over, grabbed Tong Tong and pulled her out, then turned to look at Song Qiao: "You should go quickly."
Then, his gaze turned cold and fierce: "Tong Tong, I'll take you home."
"I'll go home, but you have to come with me to the movies."
Lu Mingxuan watched Song Qiao walk towards 309 and said irritably, "I don't have time. I have to work the night shift tonight."
"Then I'll stay with you on duty!"
Song Qiao looked back at the two people walking away, then pushed open the door and went inside.
When she went in, the eight students' parents were clinking glasses and drinking. When they saw her, they all called out to her to join them.
Dongqiao smiled and said, "I can't hold my liquor. I'll be drunk after just one glass. You guys continue."
Song Qiao lost her appetite for drinking. Just now, the sight of Lu Mingxuan and Tong Tong walking towards the stairs together made them look like such a perfect couple, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
Everyone looked at Song Qiao's flushed face and stopped trying to persuade her.
Song Qiao sat there, her mind wandering between Lu Mingxuan and Tong Tong, and then between Jiang Ming and Zhao Xiaoya. Her heart felt as cold as if it had been chilled by a draft.
She wants to find her daughter as soon as possible and end this kind of life.
Thinking about the trip to Zhoucheng scheduled for the day after tomorrow, she decided to keep her distance from Lu Mingxuan after finding her daughter.
The mothers in the room had almost finished drinking. Because they had to take care of their children, they didn't dare to drink too much. In the end, they decided that once they had settled their children in a safe place, everyone could drink to their heart's content.
Everyone went downstairs, and Song Qiao went to pay the bill. Just after she finished paying, she turned around and saw Jiang Ming and Zhao Xiaoya leading Jiang Xiaoran downstairs.
