Chapter 19 Qiao Xin Shows Up
After Chen Nan arrived, the officers asked him a few questions too. When they asked where he had been last night, he hemmed and hawed and wouldn't say.
"Please do not conceal anything!" an officer barked.
Only then did he lower his head and say he had been at Qiao Xin's.
The moment I heard that, I lunged at him and hit him.
"Good, Chen Nan! You were messing around with another woman! Do you have any conscience toward me?"
He looked like he wanted to argue back.
But he couldn't mention Seed Borrowing in front of outsiders. He could only hold it in and keep explaining to me.
"Wife, it's not what you think. I didn't do anything with Qiao Xin."
"Whether you did or not, just have her come confront us and we'll know, right?" I shot back at once.
The police needed proof of his alibi too, so they really did summon Qiao Xin.
When Qiao Xin arrived, she glanced at me.
I silently turned my face away.
When the officers asked if she had really been with Chen Nan last night, she shrugged.
"Of course. He's the Kept Man I keep. If he's not with me, who would he be with? That Faded Wife at home?"
I seized the chance to stand up and lunged at Chen Nan again, hitting him while I cursed.
"Chen Nan! You still dare say nothing happened with her? You betrayed me. You're going to Leave With Nothing!"
Chen Nan seemed to remember the agreement we had signed not long ago. His face went ashen as he pointed at me.
"Did you already find out I was cheating, so you tricked me into signing that agreement?"
"Haiya, that little bit of marital property of yours, just give it to her. Anyway, once you marry me, what won't you have later?" Qiao Xin crossed her legs and looked at Chen Nan with dissatisfaction.
Only then did Chen Nan stop talking. He immediately dropped to one knee in front of her, fawning over her like a bootlicker.
I played the act all the way through and cried even louder.
In the end the officers could only take me away, leaving Chen Nan and Qiao Xin to be questioned alone.
