Chapter 338: Chapter 338: The Adulterer is Far on the Horizon, Yet Close Before the Eyes

Tang Jinyu, dressed in a light apricot Cheongsam, sat indifferently on the Taishi Chair, casting a fleeting glance at the furious Mrs. Li.

"Mrs. Li, don’t be in such a hurry. I’m just reasonably expressing my suspicion. Look, Miss Jiang calculated the birthdays of your husband, your parents, and even your siblings. How could she possibly fail to calculate your son’s birthday? In my view, there’s only one explanation—the father of the child in Lady He’s belly must be someone else."

Not only Mrs. Li, but He Hui’s face also turned exceptionally ugly.

She pushed away the person in front of her and strode up to Mrs. Tang.

"Aunt Tang, what do you mean by this? I respect you as my mother-in-law’s good friend and have been courteous to you, but you smear my reputation without knowing the facts. Are you trying to embarrass me in front of everyone?"

Tang Jinyu smiled unhurriedly and replied: "What do you mean by that, Lady He? I have no grievances with the Li Family, so why would I deliberately tarnish your reputation? Perhaps you’re guilty and see malice in everyone."

"You—"

He Hui’s face turned deathly pale, and she was unable to retort a single word, only sweating profusely in anxiety.

Helpless, she quickly walked over to Mrs. Li and grabbed her sleeve, saying: "Mom, don’t listen to these nonsense people. Especially this Jiang Li, first saying ambiguously that I’m pregnant, and now saying that the child in my belly isn’t Ah Cheng’s. How could there be such absurd things in this world?!"

Despite He Hui’s tearful explanation, once the seed of doubt was sown, it was difficult to completely eradicate it.

At this moment, Mrs. Li’s look towards He Hui changed.

She coldly shook off He Hui’s hand and questioned: "Tell me the truth, have you been cheating on me with another man?"

He Hui’s forehead was already covered with a dense layer of sweat, and at this moment, her lips turned white and began to tremble.

"Mom, how can you think of me like that?"

"Then tell me honestly, what exactly is going on?!"

The more Mrs. Li thought about it, the more suspicions arose. Jiang Li’s comments made her feel that something was wrong everywhere.

Initially, she wasn’t too pleased with this daughter-in-law because her facial features suggested she wasn’t the honest and dutiful type.

Before their relationship, her son was seeing a daughter of her friend, but somehow, he got enchanted by He Hui and insisted on marrying her.

Without a choice, for the sake of family harmony, she reluctantly agreed.

Fortunately, after the marriage, He Hui had displayed decent behavior. Quitting her job, she became a full-time housewife and attended diligently to her and her husband.

However, recently this woman seemed to be behaving improperly, becoming overly attentive to her appearance and increasingly extravagant, heedless of how hard her husband and son worked outside, continuously bringing various luxury items home.

That itself could have been overlooked. What bothered her was that over the past six months, her son, because of his job, was frequently away on business trips, and the days he was home were few and far between. How could he possibly have the time or mood to think about having children with He Hui?

Unless there was foul play!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li no longer bothered to listen to He Hui’s desperate defenses and hurriedly walked over to grab Jiang Li’s hand.

"Isn’t your fortune-telling very powerful? Can you tell what’s actually going on with this child? I can pay you an additional 500,000 as a fortune-telling fee."

But Jiang Li asked, "If I find out something bad, should I still reveal it?"

"I can handle anything!"

That was exactly what Jiang Li had been waiting for. She glanced at He Hui, who was frozen beside her, and deliberately sighed,

"Actually, I knew from the beginning that the child in He Hui’s stomach wasn’t your son’s flesh and blood, but family scandals should not be spread publicly. I was selective in what I said at first, but since you insist, Mrs. Li, we might as well be honest. Lady He has indeed been cheating on you and your son, and the adulterer, though far in the distance, is actually right before our eyes."

At this statement, not only were the involved parties shocked but the surrounding wealthy ladies all gasped in disbelief.

"What? The daughter-in-law of the Old Li Family cheated?!"

"No wonder, I’ve seen He Hui dressed up extravagantly recently, twisting and turning as she went out. She was definitely going to meet some lover."

"A fine family like the Li Family, how could they marry such a lowly woman? It’s such an embarrassment."

"Exactly, Mrs. Li didn’t notice at all? I thought she was capable of more, but it seems she’s nothing special after all, unable to even manage her own daughter-in-law."

Hearing these remarks, Mrs. Li couldn’t hold back anymore. She glared fiercely at He Hui before slapping her across the face.

"You whore, how dare you commit such a disgraceful act?! You’ve completely shamed our family!"

He Hui knelt on the ground from the slap, a large red mark appearing on her face.

But she didn’t dare to act aggrieved. Instead, she quickly crawled to Mrs. Li, clutching at her skirt and pleading, "Mom, you must believe me, you have to believe me. I didn’t do anything to betray you or Ah Cheng, it must be Jiang Li!"

She fiercely pointed at Jiang Li, "She must be jealous of my harmonious family and made up this lie to deceive you all. Mom, you must believe me!"

"Alright, you want me to believe you? Then tell me, the 2 million I gave you last week, where did it all go?" Mrs. Li said through gritted teeth, "I originally thought that recently Ah Cheng has been traveling on business trips and neglecting you, I wanted to make it up to you financially. I thought you were just being spendthrift, but it turns out you were keeping a man outside and even caused this embarrassing debacle. It’s disgusting!"

The more Mrs. Li spoke, the more agitated she became. She kicked the pleading He Hui away before seizing Jiang Li’s hand again, "What did you mean by what you just said about the adulterer ’far in the distance, yet right before our eyes’?"

Having been immersed in the world of business along with her husband for many years, Mrs. Li was no pushover.

That He Hui dared do such a thing and caused her to lose face publicly, she certainly wouldn’t let this adulterous couple off easily!

Jiang Li’s gaze swept across the faces of the people around, finally settling on a male model on the nearby runway. She calmly asked, "Hello sir, were you born on July 15?"

The man was already trembling, and upon Jiang Li’s gaze and hearing her question, he immediately collapsed on the stage.

Then he hastily waved his hands, "I, I—I’m not, I’m not. I don’t know this woman at all. I have nothing to do with her!"
