After my divorce, I started to have good luck
Chapter 303 - 183 Waiting to See_2

Moreover, he’s heard that he might have to work long-term in Lu City in the future. Therefore, his mistress has been pressuring him lately, wanting to elevate her status and become official.

Xue Jun is someone who loves his children dearly, so for their sake, he wouldn’t consider divorcing; instead, he just tries to soothe the mistress.

On the way over, Xue Jun was thinking about how to part peacefully with this mistress while spending the least amount of money, planning to find another who is younger and more obedient after some time.

Although he has some feelings for this mistress, having been with him for so many years, she doesn’t hold a candle to his children in importance. It’s absolutely impossible for him to agree to divorce his wife and marry the mistress.

The car drove into the neighborhood where the mistress lived. Familiar with the way, he arrived at the lover’s apartment, took out the key, and inserted it into the front door’s lock. He twisted the key, but the door wouldn’t open—it seemed to be locked from the inside.

Xue Jun frowned slightly and took out his phone to call her.

"Why have you locked the door? I’m at the entrance. Come and open it quickly."

After saying that, Xue Jun hung up the phone.

About two minutes later, the mistress came to open the door, wearing pajamas, her hair somewhat tousled.

Xue Jun frowned and asked, "What’s wrong with you? It’s only a little after seven in the evening, and you’re already asleep?"

The mistress looked exhausted and said, "I didn’t sleep well yesterday, and got up very early today for interviews, went through several job interviews, came back exhausted, and fell asleep on the bed."

"Why are you looking for a job when I’m giving you twenty thousand a month—isn’t that enough?"

The mistress looked aggrieved and said, "While daily expenses barely make ends meet, it’s evidently not enough for a high-quality lifestyle."

"Don’t worry, as long as you continue with me, I’ll add another five thousand a month starting next month, how about that?"

Just as he said this, there was a noise from the bedroom, followed by a man’s ’ouch’ that reached both their ears clearly.

The mistress’s face suddenly changed dramatically, while Xue Jun looked green with anger, immediately charging towards the bedroom, unable to be restrained by her.

He rushed into the bedroom to see a bald, oily, chubby middle-aged man, bare-chested and only wearing a pair of boxers, trying to hide inside the open wardrobe after having scrambled up from the floor.

Upon seeing this, Xue Jun realized what was happening, and was overtaken with rage, as if two Buddhas were ascending, stepping forward to kick the fat man forcefully in the lower back. The fat man let out a miserable cry, gritting his teeth, and then turned around and grappled with him, with punches exchanged, hair-pulling, ear-tugging, nose-poking... blows that landed flesh to flesh, bruised and battered faces, neck-choking neck, tussle for dominance, a fierce spectacle indeed.

The mistress shouted frantically on the side, trying to stop them but to no avail. Her evident bias towards the lover only incensed Xue Jun further, as he picked up the heavy ashtray from the bedside table and smashed it down on the lover’s head...

The next morning, Sister Li got up early to prepare breakfast for her family and then took the two children to school herself, as she didn’t trust the nanny and preferred to manage these herself.

Like Xue Jun, she also had a family of four, with a son and a daughter. Her first child was a son who is currently in the third year of high school, preparing for college entrance exams this year. Her daughter was only ten, studying in elementary school; both she and her daughter had foreign passports, and her daughter was born abroad.

She was five years older than her husband, whom she had picked when he was still a poor college student; she started carefully cultivating him, and now he worked in a public sector unit as a junior section chief.

In these years, although there were occasional arguments and friction between her and her husband, their relationship remained quite good, especially after their daughter was born, as her husband doted on the daughter immensely, being a typical doting father, always rushing home after work to be with her.

Thus, Sister Li was very satisfied with her life and firmly opposed Guo Mengyao moving her cosmetics company to Lu City, as for the sake of the family she couldn’t abandon them to stay in Lu City.

She was at the market buying groceries when she received a call from Xue Jun’s wife, who cried and pleaded for her help to think of a way to save Xue Jun.

It turns out Xue Jun had fought with the mistress’s lover last night, and knocked the lover unconscious with an ashtray, causing blood to stream down his face. The frightened mistress called the police and summoned an ambulance.

So Xue Jun was taken in, and the lover who got knocked unconscious only woke up in the morning but wasn’t in good shape with a severe concussion, speaking incoherently and suffering severe physical after-effects, unable to get out of bed, restricted in physical activities, his hands trembled uncontrollably, almost like paralysis, and understandably his family was furious and immediately wanted to charge Xue Jun with attempted murder.

It was considered a criminal case.

Xue Jun’s wife was still loyal and tried everything she could despite the embarrassing situation to bail him out, but nothing worked.

Having no other option, she sought help from Sister Li.

Their family weren’t locals, but rather immigrants from over a decade ago, thus they naturally didn’t hold as extensive a network or connections as Sister Li, born and raised in the area for generations.

Sister Li hadn’t expected Xue Jun to land in such trouble, though she found it somewhat amusing, she also felt exasperated.

It wasn’t exactly a secret that Xue Jun kept a mistress; Sister Li even knew her, and over the years they occasionally went shopping and dining together.

Sister Li was fairly righteous, she activated her connections to dig into the matter, and what left her even more speechless was that the mistress’s lover turned out to be in some way related to her family—her grandfather and the man’s grandfather were cousins, and they somewhat knew each other.

Given the familial connection, and the fact that they were the aggrieved party, coupled with their affluent and influential household, it was difficult to use money to sway them—this made the situation tricky.

Around noon, Sister Li conveyed what she had learned to Xue Jun’s wife, frankly stating that Xue Jun would likely not escape jail time this time around, and they could only strive for sentence reduction, spending what was necessary money-wise—which left his wife weeping uncontrollably.

After comforting her briefly, Sister Li hung up the phone and sighed quietly, reflecting that lust indeed led to downfall, and for someone as shrewd as Xue Jun to stumble due to it—it was regrettable.

Men keeping mistresses never have a happy ending!

While considering this as a woman, Sister Li’s phone rang; it was her husband’s number.

"Darling, I’ve prepared your favorite sweet and sour pork for lunch, when will you be back?"

Just as Sister Li was about to respond, she heard a stern male voice, which clearly wasn’t her husband’s voice: "You are Li’s spouse, right? I’m with the disciplinary department, now informing you that your husband is suspected of... being detained for questioning. You’d better cooperate with our investigation, report to our department at xx road..."
