Chapter 73 only captured the side view.
The Moon Palace residential complex is very large, with front and back yards separating each building. As Lu Mingxuan drove past his house, he said, "This is my house."
Lu Mingxuan had only been here once since returning from abroad, but he had never stayed here. If Song Qiao hadn't asked, he would have almost forgotten which building and number his house was in.
Song Qiao took a special look and found that all the buildings looked the same from the outside. If there were no building numbers, it would be impossible to tell which one belonged to which one inside.
"This is building number 20, and I reckon the next ones will be buildings like this!" Song Qiao reminded Lu Mingxuan.
As Lu Mingxuan drove, he looked out the car window and said, "We're here! This is Building 23. I don't know if you count from the east or the west, but it's the second one. Qiaoqiao! Don't get out yet, I'll go down and take a look."
At this moment, the lights on the second floor of all the houses in this row of buildings 23 were on. When Lu Mingxuan got out of the car, Song Qiao also got out of the car.
Under the streetlights, every household had their curtains drawn. Song Qiao looked up at the buildings in the middle and was about to walk to the side when suddenly, on the second floor of one of the buildings, the curtains were pulled open a crack, revealing a familiar figure inside.
Jiang Ming stood inside, the light illuminating one side of his face. Then Zhao Xiaoya came over, the curtains were drawn, and the two of them seemed to be leaning on the balcony railing.
What happened next shattered Song Qiao's worldview: Jiang Ming was holding Zhao Xiaoya and openly doing *that* on the balcony.
Because of the distance, the sound could not be heard, but Jiang Ming was hugging Zhao Xiaoya from behind and shaking her vigorously back and forth.
Song Qiao looked up at the moon in the sky, which had also hidden behind the clouds, probably because it didn't want to see the two of them being so shameless.
Song Qiao clutched her chest; the discomfort in her stomach made her want to vomit.
She couldn't believe there were such shameless men and women in the world, who, already disgusting enough to hide in their rooms, would go out onto the balcony and do it openly.
Song Qiao concluded that these two people had come up with many crooked ideas and done such shameless things.
After realizing what had happened, Song Qiao took out her phone, but because she couldn't turn on the night light, her phone couldn't illuminate their faces.
Just as Song Qiao was wondering what to do, Lu Mingxuan returned.
"Mingxuan! Look."
Lu Mingxuan looked up and was shocked to see this scene. He quickly pulled Song Qiao into the car: "You can't stand here. If they find out, you won't get anything."
Song Qiao forced herself to sit in the car, suppressing the nausea in her stomach.
"I checked, without a night light, you can't take a picture at all, it's too far away!"
When Song Qiao saw Lu Mingxuan take out his phone to take a picture, she reminded him.
Lu Mingxuan looked at it and realized that he couldn't capture it from any angle. He wished he had a camera.
As Lu Mingxuan was thinking this, he decided to use the car as cover to turn on his phone's night light and take the first picture. The two people in the picture seemed to notice the light below and quickly returned to their room.
"Did you get it?"
"I got the shot, but not from the best position, so he got away!"
Lu Mingxuan looked at the photo on his phone and saw two blurry figures wearing shirts. Because of the balcony, he didn't know if they were wearing clothes underneath.
Just as Song Qiao was considering whether to go up and arrest the person, the courtyard gate suddenly opened, and Jiang Ming walked out.
"Hurry! He's out."
Just as Song Qiao opened the car door to get out, Jiang Ming, wearing sunglasses, hurriedly got into the car at the door and quickly closed the door.
Lu Mingxuan's phone only captured half of Jiang Ming's body as he pulled her back, saying, "You can't go out like this, you'll be bitten back."
After getting into the car, Jiang Ming boldly rolled down the window, peeked into the car at Lu Mingxuan, and honked the horn: "Beep beep!"
But when he looked at the passenger seat, disbelief appeared in his eyes.
"Oh no! Jiang Ming has found me."
As soon as Song Qiao spoke, Lu Mingxuan realized what was about to happen, turned the key, stepped on the gas, and the car quickly drove away.
Seeing this, Jiang Ming sped up and chased after Lu Mingxuan's car.
Lu Mingxuan glanced at the car behind him, sped up, and started playing hide-and-seek with Jiang Ming.
During his years abroad, Lu Mingxuan had always been a member of the racing team. Looking at Jiang Ming behind him, his interest grew.
"Want to chase me? Come on then!"
After leaving the residential area, Lu Mingxuan accelerated. At an intersection, he was initially in the straight lane, but when he reached a point where he had to turn, he immediately changed lanes. The streetlights came on, and Lu Mingxuan was urged by the horns of the cars behind him, so he had no choice but to go straight.
When they returned after crossing the intersection, Lu Mingxuan's car was gone.
Song Qiao sat in the car feeling extremely dejected. She had originally gone to catch her husband cheating, but instead, Jiang Ming was chasing after her as if she were the one who had cheated.
Thinking about it, Lu Mingxuan's words made sense. Given Jiang Ming's shamelessness, once he was discovered, he wouldn't be able to explain himself clearly.
After shaking off Jiang Ming, Lu Mingxuan glanced back at Song Qiao in the passenger seat and said, "Don't be discouraged. Zhao Xiaoya won't be leaving anytime soon, and Jiang Ming will come back."
"If the audit hadn't been incomplete, I would have gotten out of the car and exposed his ugly face."
"Will he admit it after getting off the bus?"
Lu Mingxuan wasn't sure either. The photos from tonight weren't clear, and someone like Jiang Ming wouldn't admit anything unless the facts were laid out in front of him.
"Let's go, there will be other opportunities."
Remembering that Song Qiao still had injuries on her face, Lu Mingxuan drove the car towards the hospital.
After losing track of her, Jiang Ming wanted to know if Song Qiao was in the car, so he dialed her number, but it was switched off.
Then he dialed Wang Hongmei's number.
Wang Hongmei was sound asleep at home when her phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was Jiang Ming calling. She answered with a disgruntled tone, "What do you want? Want to get beaten up again?"
Thinking of the scene described by her cousin, Wang Hongmei asked angrily.
"I'm looking for Song Qiao. Is she at your house?"
"Not here!"
Wang Hongmei said something irritatingly, then ended the call and went back to sleep.
After recording this conversation, Jiang Ming drove home.
He spent the whole night thinking about whether the woman he saw in the car at the Moon Palace was Song Qiao, and why the driver next to him also felt that she looked familiar.
"Fine, Song Qiao, you actually followed me? Let's see how I deal with you when I get evidence of you with another man."
Lu Mingxuan drove Song Qiao to the hospital, got out of the car and went straight into the elevator.
It's already 11 p.m., and the hospital is very quiet.
"Let's go straight to the operating room!"
After the two came out of the elevator, Lu Mingxuan led the way, and Song Qiao followed behind into the operating room.
Once inside, Lu Mingxuan turned on the light, and the scene inside the operating room appeared before Song Qiao's eyes.
"Just fix this for me, as long as my dad doesn't see it at work tomorrow."
Song Qiao was afraid that Song Jianguo would worry, so she agreed to come to the hospital with Lu Mingxuan tonight.
"Okay! Don't move."
Lu Mingxuan used tweezers to take a cotton ball out of the box and gently wiped the bruise on the corner of her eye: "Any further in and it would have hurt the eyeball."
Upon hearing Lu Mingxuan's words, Song Qiao fell silent. Normally, she would have cried in grievance, but not now. She added another mark against Jiang Ming in her heart.
"If it doesn't work out, just give up your assets and divorce him."
