The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 406: Chapter 405: Angry

Ding Yuejun checked the address again to ensure this was the alley, then slowly walked forward. But as she turned a corner, she suddenly stopped and quickly hid herself in the corner.

In front, she saw a man and a woman walking hand in hand, intimately snuggling with one another. The man even quickly kissed the woman’s lips, and the woman bashfully patted the man’s shoulder, their conversation faintly reaching her ears.

”You seem in a good mood today. Did something good happen?”

Hearing this, the woman smiled and said, ”Yes, I did encounter something good. Soon I can make someone I despise receive punishment.” As she finished speaking, the woman wore a sinister expression.

The man touched the woman and then laughed, ”I like your vicious side. Enough about unimportant matters, let’s hurry to the usual place.” As he spoke, his actions became increasingly inappropriate, taking advantage of the absence of others by groping her.

”Alright.”

The woman gave the man a charming look, then grinned and went ahead with him.

Ding Yuejun looked closely and found it was a small courtyard, uncertain of the exact location, but judging by their actions, she knew what would likely happen next.

Seeing this, Ding Yuejun covered her mouth in shock.

The woman was none other than Zheng Xiangxin.

It wasn’t until Zheng Xiangxin and the man disappeared from view that Ding Yuejun emerged from the corner. She could hardly believe what she had seen. Zheng Xiangxin, with a husband like Wei Hanliang, was seeing another man outside. And that man wasn’t even a tenth of Wei Hanliang. What was she thinking?

Lost in thought for a moment, Ding Yuejun remembered why she had come there and hurried to the fabric shop. As expected, the shop’s fabrics were all handmade and excellent. She spent quite some time comparing them before choosing a bright, festive brocade. ”Boss, I’ll take this brocade. How much stock do you have right now?”

”We only have a dozen or so. If you need more, you’ll have to wait a while.”

Ding Yuejun calculated in her mind and said, ”Boss, I’ll take all your current stock and order ten more pieces, to be collected later.”

”Alright.”

The shopkeeper, a chubby old man, smiled as he heard Ding Yuejun and signaled for someone to fetch the goods from the backyard. He then placed her order, ”Collect in two months.”

”Okay, thank you, boss.”

The dozen pieces in stock were enough for this batch of clothing production, and the ten ordered were backups, so there was no rush.

After paying for the goods and leaving an address for delivery, she planned to leave. But just as she was about to step out, she spotted Zheng Xiangxin and that man exiting the courtyard, immediately halting her steps.

The shopkeeper noticed Ding Yuejun hadn’t left and couldn’t help asking curiously, ”What’s the matter?” He looked ahead and, seeing the scene, said, ”Hey... that couple is back at this house again. It must be tough for them with so many people at home. They probably find it hard to have privacy. But what’s strange is that if they find home noisy, why not move here?”

Hearing this, Ding Yuejun asked in surprise, ”Boss, do you know them?”

”Yes, this couple started coming here not long ago. They just bought that small courtyard recently. I once ran into the husband and chatted a bit. He said their big family lives together, so they have little alone time with his wife. Whenever they can, they come here for some peace and quiet.”

”Did that man say they were husband and wife?”

The shopkeeper gave Ding Yuejun a puzzled look and said, ”Of course they’re a couple. They may not be young, but their closeness rivals that of younger people, so they must be married.”

Ding Yuejun was momentarily speechless, her feelings mixed. Eventually, she asked carefully, ”They only recently bought the house here?”

”Yes, the small courtyard belonged to an old lady who recently moved with her son and daughter-in-law to Lin County and just sold the house to this couple.”

With this, Ding Yuejun realized that Zheng Xiangxin had just returned to Shangjing with Wei Hanliang not long ago. So, from the moment she arrived, she had been involved with that man.

The shopkeeper continued, ”That couple used to live in the southern city and just recently moved to Shangjing.”

”What... they were together from before?”

Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but exclaim.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper glanced at her again. ”This couple is already of a certain age. They’ve been married for a long time. Your reaction seems a bit odd here.”

Realizing the implication, Ding Yuejun stopped talking and only asked, ”Boss, did the man also tell you that they used to live in the South?”

”Yes, he said when they were in the South, it was a bit more relaxed. After coming to Shangjing, with many people, it’s become harder to meet up frequently.”

Upon hearing this, a surge of anger rose within Ding Yuejun.

So it seems Zheng Xiangxin had been involved with this man from long ago. How could she do such a thing? Wei Hanliang is such a gentle and refined person, yet he ended up with a wife like this. Doesn’t her conscience bother her?

Noticing Ding Yuejun’s expression, the shopkeeper slowly caught on.

”Do you know that couple as well?”

Hearing this, Ding Yuejun snapped back to attention, hastily shaking her head, ”No, I don’t.”

The shopkeeper eyed her skeptically, somewhat disbelieving.

Ding Yuejun simply smiled, checked the address again, and then left.

By now, she had calmed down. Even if she knew Zheng Xiangxin was cheating, what could she do? Could she recklessly run to Wei Hanliang and say that his wife was unfaithful? Doing so seemed to risk damaging their relationship. Yet, doing nothing left her feeling frustrated, especially on behalf of Wei Hanliang.

Taking a deep breath, Ding Yuejun steadied herself and headed home.

When Ding Yuejun arrived home, Yiyi was already up. Seeing her mother, Yiyi couldn’t help asking, ”Mom, have you finished everything and come back? Is everything resolved?”

”Rest assured, the fabric issues are settled.”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi gave her mother a puzzled look, ”If everything’s settled, why do you still seem unhappy?”

Faced with her daughter’s question, Ding Yuejun opened her mouth but really didn’t know how to explain.
