CHAPTER 556: CHAPTER 551: OUTSMARTED BY ONE’S OWN CLEVERNESS (THIRD UPDATE)

But this time, Zhou Yunmei, for the sake of Luo Zhiming, simply didn’t take her son into consideration, without the slightest thought about his situation.

She didn’t think of his job, nor how he would behave in the future, which made Luo Zhiyong wonder how he could still cherish the mother-son affection as he always had.

However, perhaps it was for the best; a complete break could indeed be a form of liberation. And this time, Luo Zhiyong had a clear conscience; as a son, he had done everything he should for his mother—it was she who did not recognize her own son.

Luo Zhiyong sighed, got up from the bed, and planned to open the door to call Luo Honglan from next door.

But as he reached the door, he heard a slight sound of footsteps from outside, clearly resembling a man’s, but as they approached, the footsteps seemed deliberately lightened, bearing a covert and sneaky rhythm.

Luo Zhiyong’s first reaction was, could it be that not only Zhou Yunmei and Xu He were involved this time but Luo Zhiming had come as well?

Otherwise, why would there be the sound of a man’s footsteps coming towards this room?

This room was the most prominent in the guesthouse; next door lived Zhou Yunmei and Luo Honglan, and there were no rooms on the other side. It was clear that the footsteps outside were heading this way.

Thinking that it might be Luo Zhiming, Luo Zhiyong stepped back a little to the doorway, conveniently shielded by a cabinet in the room. He was curious to see what Luo Zhiming’s role truly was in this affair.

By normal standards, how many men can tolerate their wives tangled up with another man?

Then, Luo Zhiyong heard the sound of fiddling with a lock outside, followed by the door being unlocked.

Quickly, the door opened, and from behind, Luo Zhiyong saw the head of a man peering in.

Although he couldn’t see the face, having been brothers with Luo Zhiming for decades, Luo Zhiyong knew immediately that it wasn’t Luo Zhiming’s head.

Wondering who this man was, he then heard the man whisper as he looked inside, "Hehua, do you still remember me?"

Hehua?

Luo Zhiyong soon realized that this man was calling for Xu He, and given the intimate tone, it was someone familiar with Xu He—in other words, someone likely having an improper relationship with her.

At this moment, Luo Zhiyong was truly baffled; what exactly was going on?

Xu He and Zhou Yunmei had deceived him into having a child, and now there was another man involved?

What shocked Luo Zhiyong even more was that this man was the loan shark he had seen before, the one named Shuanzi.

This man actually had a connection with Xu He; what on earth had happened?

What Luo Zhiyong would never have anticipated was the sheer coincidence of it all.

In fact, today, the moment Xu He and Zhou Yunmei got off the train, Xu He had been spotted by one of Shuanzi’s underlings.

This underling had previously gone to the Luo Family to collect debts with Shuanzi and naturally recognized Xu He. He also knew that Xu He had been ravaged by Shuanzi, so he followed her all the way, while sending someone to report back to Shuanzi immediately.

To be honest, although Shuanzi had many women around him, there were not many like Xu He—beautiful and from a decent family.

After that night, Shuanzi had intended to force Xu He to come over for a few more nights, but Xu He bravely did not show up, and he did not dare to really make the matter public, so he returned to the provincial city.

But since that incident, Shuanzi had been unable to get Xu He out of his mind, always wondering when to visit Luojia Village again and have Xu He tend to him.

Now, his subordinates suddenly said that Xu He had come to the provincial city, which was like joy falling from the sky for him. After making sure where Xu He was staying, he hurried over.

Anyway, Shuanzi was certain that Xu He wouldn’t dare to cause a fuss. If it happened once, it could happen again, and he was ready to enjoy himself to the fullest.

After finding out the details, he sneaked into this room.

He was originally going to the next room, but after unlocking the door with a wire, he saw Zhou Yunmei and Luo Honglan both asleep, and he figured Xu He must be staying on this side, so he entered.

Upon opening the door and seeing no one in the room, he guessed that Xu He must have gone out temporarily and would definitely return soon, so he didn’t look around much, closed the door, turned off the light, and got into bed, waiting for Xu He to personally come to him.

Xu He had gone out to check if Fang Pingying arrived, but Fang Pingying’s place was somewhat far from the train station, and she couldn’t get there quickly. After waiting for about ten minutes and seeing no one, Xu He planned to return to the room to tidy up and take a bath.

Just in case Luo Zhiyong wasn’t as sound asleep as she thought, perhaps there were still some things that could be done in a daze.

Thinking this way, Xu He returned to the room with a face full of excitement.

As soon as Xu He opened the door and saw the light turned off, she was a little puzzled, as she remembered she hadn’t turned off the light when she left.

Could it be that Luo Zhiyong had turned it off? Had Luo Zhiyong woken up? Could he have left?

With these thoughts, Xu He didn’t bother to close the door and went to turn on the light by the bed, but suddenly, a man on the bed tightly wrapped his arms around her waist, and then Xu He fell into a man’s embrace, and the next moment, her lips were forcefully sealed, overwhelmed by a strong male scent.

Xu He was startled at first, but then she started laughing, draping her arms around the man’s neck, eagerly responding to his kiss, her body involuntarily pressing against the man.

To Xu He, the man in the bed could only be Luo Zhiyong; she dreamt of being with him for many years and wouldn’t push him away.

Shuanzi in the bed was completely seduced by Xu He’s enthusiasm and used all his skills to please her.

It could be said that they were like lightning striking tinder, the flames between them snapping loudly.

However, this left Luo Zhiyong, who was behind the wardrobe, in a bad spot.

He hadn’t expected to encounter such a situation, and now it was awkward to come out or continue eavesdropping, of course, he couldn’t see anything as the light was out.

This left him in a difficult position.

Luo Zhiyong thought for a moment and decided to try to leave quietly; he had to go next door to call Zhou Yunmei to come have a look, or else Xu Hehua would think it was him, and Zhou Yunmei would think so too. This was truly going to be a difficult matter to explain clearly.

Just as he was about to open the door and leave, he suddenly seemed to hear Fang Pingying’s voice from outside, "Hong Lan, Hong Lan."

Luo Zhiyong was in a hurry to get out, when suddenly, Xu He on the bed, gasping for breath, deliberately made some sounds loud enough that Fang Pingying outside could hear them.

In an instant, Luo Zhiyong understood Xu He’s intention; it was Xu He who had deliberately called for Fang Pingying, wanting her to witness this scene.

Truly a vicious woman, calculating everything so thoroughly.
