CHAPTER 878: CHAPTER 878

Zhu Dachang only has two children, Zhu Liang and Zhu Yue. He has always favored sons over daughters. In his eyes, his son Zhu Liang has always outweighed Zhu Yue by far.

Because of this, Zhu Liang was spoiled into a reckless playboy, not only incompetent but also constantly causing trouble and committing wrongs. Today, he’s even committed an unforgivable mistake.

Yet, even when Zhu Liang tried to kill his own sister, Zhu Yue, and made such a grave mistake, Zhu Dachang’s heart still sided with Zhu Liang.

After all, he is a son; sons are more important than anything.

If it were possible, he would use all means necessary to save Zhu Liang.

Unfortunately, Zhu Liang offended the Bai Family.

You say your idiot son Zhu Liang tries to kill someone, fine, but of all people, he tries to kill the Bai Family’s Grandson-in-law, thus angering Matriarch Bai and the entire Bai Family.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Dachang tried countless connections, but no one dared to help.

Some people even avoided seeing him upon hearing he wanted to visit, afraid of being dragged into the mess.

Zhu Dachang went through all the connections he could, hitting wall after wall, returning home with a belly full of anger and a darkened face.

Already upset, he enters the house only to see his lovely wife, Gao Mei, dressing up and looking quite seductive—definitely suspicious—immediately making him furious.

Their son was on the verge of being executed by the Bai Family, yet she seemed spirited enough to dress provocatively. What was she planning?

Was she really going to see another man at such a critical time?

Their son was captured, and she was still in the mood to meet other men. What nonsense!

But speaking of it, his wife Gao Mei is indeed very beautiful.

In her youth, she was the most stunning flower, and even in her forties, she remains extraordinarily beautiful.

Her figure, her face, her aura—absolutely amazing. No little seductress outside could compare to her.

It’s a pity that despite Gao Mei being astonishingly beautiful and well-maintained, Zhu Dachang had long been drained by little temptresses outside, lacking vitality for quite a while. Unable to satisfy Gao Mei, he avoided conjugal relations, leaving her in a state not much different from living as a widow.

Unable to satisfy his charming wife, Zhu Dachang naturally feared she might seek pleasure elsewhere, so he often had people secretly watch her to see if she was flirting with any men outside.

Luckily, Gao Mei turned out to be quite righteous. Even though she found no happiness at home, she behaved herself outside, usually just playing mahjong and shopping with her girlfriends, never having any contact with men, let alone rolling in bed.

Regarding this, Zhu Dachang always felt at ease, thinking he had married the best woman in the world.

Unfortunately, the timing was off today, and looking at Gao Mei like this, he couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

This wife cared for their son even more than he did, and now with their son on the brink, she was all dressed up and flirtatious; it seemed unlikely she wasn’t about to meet another man.

Could it be she’s really going behind his back to see another man?

Even if you’re going to meet another man, this isn’t the right time; their son is near death, how could she have the heart?

Gao Mei gave a bitter smile, shook her head, and sighed deeply before speaking, "Husband, you’ve guessed right; I’m going to see a man."

"What, you’re actually going to see another man! Gao Mei, how dare you do such a thing? Are you joking? You must be joking, right? This kind of joke isn’t funny at all! I’m telling you, I’m already stressed out, don’t mess with me, or I’ll get mad at you!"

Zhu Dachang was furious.

Their son had been caught by the Bai Family, his life uncertain, and his wife was making such jokes; it was no laughing matter.

Damn it, thinking about it infuriates him. What was this woman up to, really?

Gao Mei glanced sideways at Zhu Dachang, "Who’s joking with you? I’m serious. I’m really going to see a man. Seeing how I’ve dressed up, you should have a clue. As for why I’m doing this, don’t get upset; it’s all for our son, to save his life!"

"What, wife, what did you say? You’re really going to see a man, and it’s to save our son? What’s going on?"

The information was overwhelming, leaving Zhu Dachang a bit dazed and utterly unable to understand.

His wife is going to meet another man, and she says it’s to save their son’s life? What’s happening?

Another deep sigh, Gao Mei said, "Sigh, I considered keeping it from you, but secrets can’t be kept forever. Eventually, you’ll find out. Might as well be frank with you now. After all, nothing’s been done yet, and there’s still room to turn things around. Whether you want to wear the green hat and save our son, or abandon our son to keep your dignity, you decide."

Zhu Dachang stepped forward, grabbed Gao Mei’s hand, and quickly said, "Wife, stop beating around the bush, just tell me what’s going on. Have you found a connection, got in touch with some influential figure who can help us and put in a word at the Bai Family to release our son Zhu Liang? Did they make some excessive demand, is that it?"

Though a bit confused, Zhu Dachang thought he had figured it out.

After their son’s incident, both he and his wife, Gao Mei, have been anxiously trying to connect with people to find a way to save him.

He hit walls everywhere, had no way to turn.

Perhaps his wife Gao Mei found a way, but the other party made a condition, asking Gao Mei to accompany them?

If that’s the case, then that guy is really despicable, making such outrageous demands, so shameless!

Gao Mei was silent for a while before responding, "Husband, let me ask you, did you find any way out when you went out looking for connections?"

Zhu Dachang shook his head, "Those bastards usually call me brother, and many have taken quite a few benefits from our Zhu Family, yet today they all avoid me. None agreed to help, not even showing their faces. Damn it, all untrustworthy scum! Wife, enough about them, tell me, did you find a way, and did the other party make over-the-top demands wanting you to accompany them?"

"What if I say yes?"

Gao Mei admitted straightforwardly, staring intently at Zhu Dachang, waiting for his response.

"Who is that guy? He’s a real bastard!"

Cursing first, Zhu Dachang was full of anger.

Damn it, what man could bear such a thing, asking his charming wife to accompany another man, he was just fuming.

But on second thought, anyone daring to make such demands at this critical moment is certainly not ordinary.

He had to acknowledge, the fact that they dared to involve themselves even with Matriarch Bai’s anger means they must have been of unusual courage.

Gritting his teeth, Zhu Dachang eased his tone, "Wife, tell me, who exactly is that person, do they really have the power to save our son? Even with Matriarch Bai’s anger, they can still rescue him?"
