Chapter 1555: The Inescapable Curse 3

The things she said were not facts at all, yet she was extremely firm; Yun Qitian thought he wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River, but he never expected that the person who trusted him most was not his parents, but his wife.

Shi Ran believed her husband.

His mother-in-law, Ma Ling'er, however, did not believe it; she told her daughter-in-law not to trust men easily and that she must investigate the whole matter clearly.

Ma Ling'er sided with reason over family, and Shi Ran was very moved.

A few days ago, she still had dissatisfaction toward her mother-in-law, but now the rift had been smoothed over!

Shi Ran said, "Mom, don't get excited. Send someone to investigate that woman, and everything will be clear. I suspect she isn't mentally stable."

The investigation results came out quickly.

Just as Shi Ran had said, this Xiao Ai had run away from a mental hospital!

She had suffered heartbreak in the past, which had caused her to have a mental breakdown.

It was unknown how she had escaped from the mental hospital, but she had set her sights on Yun Qitian, and once she did, there was no end to it.

The key was that what she said sounded too real; Yun Qitian was afraid his wife would misunderstand, which was why he hadn't told Shi Ran, but in the end, Xiao Ai had found her way to their home.

With the truth of the matter revealed, Yun Qitian admired his wife to the point of prostration, constantly praising her for being wise, which was the only reason he could prove his innocence!

"If there were really something going on between you two, do you think I wouldn't be able to tell? I wouldn't let you off, and you would be truly miserable then!"

"Don't worry, wife. Having you is enough for me; I am content with this life, and I will absolutely never have a change of heart!" Yun Qitian swore an oath, but soon, a second one appeared!

One week later.

Another girl came to the door, also claiming to be Yun Qitian's mistress.

Unlike the previous one, Xiao Ai, she was even sporting a big belly, claiming she was pregnant with Yun Qitian's child.

She even brought reporters along; the matter caused a huge uproar, and Ma Ling'er was almost angered to the point of fainting!

Shi Ran called the police directly and said to the girl, "How about this? Empty words are no proof; I can't just believe whatever you say. Don't make a scene now; I will take you in and support you, and we can wait properly until the child is born to do a paternity test."

"If it is my husband's child, you can name your conditions. If it is not my husband's child... I will go to court to sue you for defamation. You don't need to rush; tell me after you've considered it clearly."

The woman was dumbfounded.

Wait, she actually wanted her to give birth and do a paternity test?

That's not right; why wasn't Mrs. Yun playing by the rules?

In their playbook, this part didn't exist at all.

Usually, when a woman sees a pregnant mistress show up at the door, shouldn't she be crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide, or beating up the husband or the mistress? At the very least, she should be lamenting how miserable her life is!

But Mrs. Yun wanted to support her and even let her give birth to the "child"?

She couldn't give birth; the belly was fake.

The girl cursed and swore, then hurriedly slipped away.

The so-called "reporter" ran even faster, slipping away faster than a rabbit.

With women showing up one after another, the couple sensed something unusual.

Shi Ran said, "This isn't right. It seems like someone is deliberately targeting you."

"Yes, these things have all happened since I became the Chamber of Commerce President. Maybe I shouldn't be the president anymore, to avoid further trouble in the future."

Yun Qitian summarized it: before he was involved with Shi Ran, he had constantly changed girlfriends and nothing had happened.

After marriage, he had kept to himself and had no behavior of flirting or philandering; before this, nothing had happened either. It was only after he became the Chamber of Commerce President that he had trouble, so he judged that it was all the "Chamber of Commerce President" title that caused the disaster!

Shi Ran agreed with her husband's idea.

She trusted her husband's character, but one doesn't fear a thief stealing, one fears a thief coveting; no one could guarantee what the result would be if they were constantly being watched over a long period of time.

"I will resign immediately." Yun Qitian was a man of his word.

Yun Zhehao did not object to his son resigning as president; it wasn't worth breaking up the family just to be a Chamber of Commerce President. He could still distinguish between what was light and what was heavy.

Yun Qitian resigned, and since there was no one to be the Chamber of Commerce President, they had to hold another election.

The Jian Family.

Wan'er discussed with her husband, "Why don't you be this president?"

Jian Yining said he wasn't willing; he was already at such an old age, and it was meaningless to engage in these things that only sought fame and reputation.

Wan'er said, "If it weren't for our daughters, I wouldn't want you to get involved in these things either. I even want to build a house in the countryside and live a reclusive, idyllic life like an immortal."

"But we have three daughters. After you become the president, it might be easier to talk at school. There are rumors in school that our family are nouveau riche, having only money but no cultural foundation, which is why the children are so naughty and disobedient..."

These rumors were complete nonsense, but Wan'er took them to heart, and it was becoming a mental burden.

The main thing was that their three daughters were indeed enough to give one a headache.

Fighting, talking in class, being mischievous, violating classroom discipline... every time she was criticized at parent-teacher meetings, Jin Wan'er could never escape it.

They were called in to see the teachers every few days; from elementary school until now, the three daughters had never let them have any peace of mind!

Wan'er had worried herself to death over these children; she was the same age as Shi Youxuan, but she looked more than ten years older than Shi Youxuan.

This time, who knew how it spread, saying their family were nouveau riche, having only money and no ability to educate, which was why the three daughters were so troublesome, and so on...

Wan'er was also desperate and grasping at straws, hoping her husband would become the president to shut everyone's mouths!

Jian Yining agreed. He said it was fine, he would give it a try; anyway, it was like treating a dead horse as if it were alive—regardless of whether the effect was good or not, he would only know after trying.

Thus, Jian Yining became the president. For the first three days, it was calm and peaceful.

On the fourth day, he suddenly received a text message.

Nowadays, people use WeChat for everything; who still sends text messages?

He initially thought it was an advertisement or spam, so he didn't pay much attention to it. By the time he inadvertently saw it, several days had already passed, and the content of the message was very suggestive.

A Ning, do you still remember me? You should have forgotten me already, but I will never be able to forget you. No matter where I am, I am thinking of you.

"Crazy." He didn't pay much attention and deleted it.

But the next day, he received another text message from this person, which was even more explicit. The fatal part was that his messages were discovered by his wife!

"Jian Yining, you explain things to me clearly." Wan'er's expression was very serious.

He was a man with a "prior record," so it was reasonable and perfectly normal for Wan'er to react strongly upon discovering such information.

"I don't know what's going on, honey, you have to believe me."

He hurriedly confessed: "I had received a text message from this person before this, and I don't know who this person is either."

"Call her."

"Okay."

Jian Yining dialed the number, and the person on the other end actually answered.

The person on the other end was a woman; her voice did not sound very young, but it wasn't old either, and it was quite coquettish.

The woman started crying right away: "Waaah, you finally decided to call me, I thought you had forgotten about me..."

It's over.

He had intended to explain, but now it was impossible to explain clearly.

Jian Yining interrupted her: "Wait a second, who are you?"

"You heartless thing, can't you even recognize my voice?"
