Tang Mo’er stood rooted to the ground. She had heard them clearly. Without any hesitation, she marched up the stairs.
The door to the lounge was still open and by now, knowledge of the situation inside had already spread all around Castle Guding. Everyone already knew. Many people were gathered outside, trying to take a peek.
Tang Mo’er walked in.
Inside the lounge, Gu Mohan was standing there with one hand in his pocket, the other lighting a cigar. The smoke swirled around him and obscured his handsome features, which were already dark and ominous.
Xiao Zhu sat on the carpet, her shirt ripped open, revealing her negligee. Her pure, pretty face was streaked with tears and her pitiful sniffling pulled on everyone’s heartstrings.
It was easy to misunderstand them in the compromising position they were in.
“What happened?” Tang Mo’er asked.
Gu Mohan turned around and looked at Tang Mo’er.
“Mrs Gu,” Xiao Zhu walked forward and spoke up first. “I-I’m so sorry. President Gu was drunk just now, and he… he slept with me.”
Slept with her?
Tang Mo’er’s lps curved upwards and she laughed softly.
“Mrs Gu, what..what are you laughing at?”
If another woman had found out that her husband had strayed, they would’ve been crying or cursing hysterically, looking unsightly. Tang Mo’er was the only one who would laugh in this situation.
Tang Mo’er’s laugh was real. “I’m so sorry, I couldn’t help it.”
Xiao Zhu was speechless.
“Mrs Gu, do you not believe that I slept with your husband? I know your relationship with President Gu is stronger than steel, but he was drunk. He gets extremely aggressive once he’s drunk. Look, all the marks on my body are from him.”
Xiao Zhu took off her clothes. She was only in a negligee. Her white skin was streaked with marks, and she did look like she had just slept with someone.
Gu Mohan took a look at her, his eyes darkening. This Xiao Zhu had come prepared.
Who was she?
She had approached him with a scheme.
When they had exchanged blows just now, he noticed that she was trained in the martial arts.
He drew his eyebrows together tightly. What was Xiao Zhu’s true identity?
She was great at putting on a show, insisting that she had slept with him. The people outside there for a show started whispering among themselves.
“Looks like they’ve actually done it. President Gu really has strayed. Beauty Tang is here to catch the vixen.”
“Beauty Tang is so pitiful. Every time a man strays, it’s the women who have to clean up after him.”
“President Gu doesn’t know how beautiful his wife is. I wonder if Beauty Tang will get a divorce.”
Tang Mo’er glanced sideways at Gu Mohan. “Can I trust you?”
Gu Mohan pressed leaned against the table, his deep, narrow eyes looking at Tang Mo’er through the layers of smoke around him. “Of course.”
“Alright.” Tang Mo’er raised her beautiful eyebrows and looked at the door. “Those outside, come in right now. Let’s figure this out together.”
The crowd outside went silent.
Traditionally, when a woman wanted to catch a vixen, it was done secretly. It was considered dirty laundry that could not be aired in public. But today, Tang Mo’er was actually asking them to sit in on the show.
Beauty Tang’s actions were indeed one of a kind.
Many of them entered the room. “Beauty Tang, we’re here.”
“Beauty Tang, please sit. We’re all here to support you.” One of them brought a chair over and placed it in front of Tang Mo’er.
Stepping downward in her stilettos, Tang Mo’er sat down slowly. Her pink skirt dragged against the ground and she crossed her legs and stared lightly at Xiao Zhu, as if observing her closely.
Xiao Zhu’s hands by her side quickly curled into fists. Now that she was sprawled on the floor, she was supposed to look pitiful, but Tang Mo’er had brought a chair over to sit in front of her. Her face was unreadable, her eyes cold. The crowd stood behind her, protecting her, as though she was a queen on her throne.
Tang Mo’er looked so regal, which made Xiao Zhu look pathetic and shameful in contrast.
“Xiao Zhu, you said that you’ve slept with my husband. Alright then. Take off your negligee and open your legs wide. I want to see proof,” Tang Mo’er said.
Xiao Zhu pupils constricted. Wha… what? She wanted her to… open her legs wide?
“Mrs Gu, are you trying to shame me even more?”
Tang Mo’er’s lips curved upwards as she smiled. “How can you say I’m trying to shame you? I’m putting you first. If my husband has really slept with you, I’ll divorce him at once, so you can become Mrs Gu. With so many people here, I’ll definitely have to stick to my words!”
“Beauty Tang is really having her way!”
“We’re all here to be witness to Beauty Tang’s strength!”
The crowd were going crazy at the unexpected situation.
“Evidence is required in the law as well. If you choose to report that you’ve slept with my husband, how would the police handle it? They would get you to strip as well, then open your legs and retrieve the evidence and send it to the hospital for a DNA test!”
Tang Mo’er said each word forcefully. “If the DNA matches that on my husband’s lips, only then can we trust your words. If not, you’re just trying to slander us. Whoever dares to covet my husband, believe me when I say that I’m going to put your face up on Weibo.
“I trust that within a matter of minutes, you’re going to become the target of hatred from the entire world. Even the people on the streets will be screaming at you and beating you up. Now tell me, are you happy to go ahead like this?”
Xiaozhu was speechless.
She was stunned by Tang Mo’er’s angry words. How dare she!
“Beauty Tang is right. Take off your clothes quickly!”
“If you dare refuse any further, we’re going to do it for you!”
“You already knew that President Gu was drunk, yet still hung around and enticed him. We can all tell at first sight that you’re just a vixen. Everyone come forward, take off her clothes. Let’s see what she’s playing at!”
Over ten people surged forward madly, reaching out to grab her negligee.
“Ah, don’t!” Xiao Zhu quickly flung her hands out to protect herself.
But she was completely encircled, and there was no way to protect herself. The people grabbed her legs and pulled them apart. “Quick, take off her panties!”
All of them quickly turned to pulling off her panties.
Xiao Zhu’s pretty face was deathly pale. She had never imagined that the situation would turn into this. She was about to throw up blood out of anger. She had failed to seduce Gu Mohan, and was getting beaten by Tang Mo’er now.
Someone grabbed her panties and started to tug them downwards.
As the person tugged, the rest of them stared openly, some of them even taking their phones out to live-stream it.
Xiao Zhu shrieked. “Ah, no! I didn’t, okay?! I didn’t sleep with President Gu. We didn’t do anything. I was the one who was trying to frame President Gu. Don’t pull off my panties!”
Xiao Zhu had finally confessed. The crowd of people released their hands. With a loud thud, Xiao Zhu fell back onto the carpeted floor.
It felt as though she had been ripped apart. Everything hurt.
“Beauty Tang, President Gu is innocent. This vixen was trying to set him up!”
“Beauty Tang, how do we deal with this vixen?”
How to deal with her?
Tang Mo’er stood up slowly and walked to Gu Mohan. With a charming smile on her face, she said, “Mr Gu, as the victim, how do you think we should deal with this rotten woman?”
