Translation: "\"I slept with his wife—that's something money can settle. You're the one urging him to sleep with my wife? I don't think he wants revenge on me; I think you want revenge on me…\""
Wei Shouqin muttered dejectedly for a good while, puffing on the incense, one drag after another.
Before I knew it.
On the stairs below, four or five cigarette butts were already lying.
I also didn't know how long had passed.
Finally, the sound of the elevator doors opening came from the elevator entrance; it must be over, and the person who entered the elevator is surely that bastard Zhou Xiaoguang.
Wei Shouqin, holding a belly full of resentment, got up and went home.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the bathroom door wide open, with Mother Tiger Zhang Lan inside taking a bath. She's already a forty-eight-year-old old lady—damn it, she doesn't even close the bathroom door.
In the trash can beside the living room sofa, there was only a pile of tissues, not even a condom.
Wei Shouqin couldn't hold back and shouted: "You haven't even hit menopause yet, right? You take no precautions at all—what if you get pregnant? Whose would it be?"
"Bang!"
The bathroom door was slammed shut violently, the sound deafening.
After a moment.
Then came Zhang Lan's angry voice from inside: "You slept with Zhou Xiaoguang's wife, and Zhou Xiaoguang came to our house to sleep with your wife! I haven't even lost my temper—what right do you have to shout here?!"
"Cut it out, I'm not deaf."
Wei Shouqin walked to the bathroom door.
Through the door he jeered: "Just now I was listening outside, out of respect for your face I didn't barge in. He wants money, while you're fixated on his young, muscular six-pack abs—you dare say it isn't?"
"So what if it is!"
Before his words even finished, the bathroom door was already pulled open.
Zhang Lan stood before Wei Shouqin wrapped in a towel, her eyes blazing with nameless fury: "You can sleep with other people's wives outside—what right do I have not to sleep with the fresh meat that willingly came to my door?!"
"Sure, I can definitely sleep."
Wei Shouqin gave a hollow smile and dared not say more.
I was still a bit nervous inside, afraid Zhang Lan would slap me. Push this tigress too far and she'll really go for the kill—if I can't beat her, I'll rush to the kitchen to grab a knife, every time it's the same.
Wei Shouqin sulkily slipped back to the living room: "How about this—from now on you don't interfere with me and I won't interfere with you; we'll each do our own thing. But we can't divorce; in front of outsiders we still have to treat each other as guests and keep up appearances."
