Two-Faced Husband, Have Some Decency!

Her sharp stiletto shoes hit against the floor as she stepped out of the elevator.

She had gone to Song Yu’s office, but she was told that Song Yu was not back from lunch yet. She wanted to come downstairs to stop her, and by chance, she had succeeded.

Song Yu looked away and walked ahead without moving her gaze. She walked past Mu Sisi as she did not plan to greet her at all.

Mu Sisi grabbed Song Yu by her arm and said, “You didn’t even greet me, do you not have any manners?”

Song Yu glanced at the hand that grabbed her arm and looked up in annoyance before she said, “I will greet my friends or people with manners. You are not my friend, nor do you have any manners. I don’t even want to be associated with you. Why should I greet you?”

Mu Sisi laughed as she let go of Song Yu’s arm. “That’s true. I also wished that you didn’t exist. But I’m here to see you, so let’s talk.”

Song Yu realized that Mu Sisi’s eyes were red like she had been crying.

“I have nothing to say to you,” Song Yu said coldly as she walked toward the lift.

“What if I told you that I know the real reason your family went bankrupt?” Mu Sisi said quickly behind her back.

Song Yu stopped and turned around slowly. She saw Mu Sisi’s arrogant face.

Song Yu scoffed coldly and walked toward her. Even though she wore flats due to her pregnancy, she was still on eye-level with the heels-clad Mu Sisi.

“What if I told you that I know it too?” Song Yu mocked her softly.

Mu Sisi clearly misunderstood the situation. She thought that she knew all about the situation and laughed as she said, “I know you thought that the Song family went bankrupt after they were acquired, but the truth is more complicated than that. It’s not what you think it is.”

“What do you think I know?” Song Yu laughed. Mu Sisi’s arrogance was hilarious.

She whipped out her phone and looked at the time as she said, “Since you wanted to talk, let’s talk.”

She walked ahead after she finished her sentence.

Mu Sisi smirked. She could not wait to see Song Yu’s defeated face.

Song Yu did not walk far. She walked straight to the café in the building and sat down in a corner.

Mu Sisi followed her and sat down as well. The waiter came over, and Mu Sisi ordered a cup of caramel macchiato, but Song Yu did not order anything.

“You don’t have to pretend to be polite with me. If you feel uneasy about ordering a drink, you can pay for it yourself,” Mu Sisi thought Song Yu did not want to have a drink with her and wanted to appear generous about it.

“I don’t have to do that because what I have to say is very simple. I won’t be here long, I’ll be gone before they serve the drinks,” Song Yu said coldly and went silent as she saw the waiter walked over with two glasses of lemon-infused water.

After the waiter left, Song Yu saw Mu Sisi’s smirk. It was as if she was laughing at her for knowing nothing; as if she was a fool.

“I’m afraid that you won’t have the strength to stand up in a while, let alone to leave,” Mu Sisi said sarcastically as she looked at Song Yu arrogantly. She looked down to pull a file out of her bag and said, “Since you’re this confident, I’ll just have to wait and see.”

Song Yu smiled briefly and stayed silent.

Based on what Mu Sisi had said, it was as if she knew the Song family went bankrupt because of Qi Chengzhi. However, she would not admit it if Mu Sisi did not say anything about that. If she admitted to the truth while Mu Sisi lied about the so-called truth, that would mean that she voluntarily told Mu Sisi the truth.

“Look at this,” Mu Sisi tossed the file onto the table.

Song Yu picked it up casually and pulled at the documents inside. She already knew who gave it to her after one glance.

It was the same one Jian Yi gave her.

“Jian Yi gave this to you?” Song Yu put the documents back in the file and tossed it back onto the table.

Mu Sisi did not expect Song Yu to be that calm. It was as if it was a small matter.

Apart from that, how did she know it was from Jian Yi?

Mu Sisi pretended to be calm and said, “You don’t need to know who it came from, as it’s real anyway.”

Song Yu pursed her lips and said, “You came all the way here to tell me about this?”

Mu Sisi could not hold it in anymore. She widened her eyes and said, “Song Yu, look closer at the papers. Did this shocking news make you dumber? Brother Chengzhi planned the bankruptcy of your family; he’s supposed to be your enemy.”

“I know. I knew it from the start. I knew about this before I married him, someone had already told me about this,” Song Yu said with a relaxed tone.

Mu Sisi could not believe it. She stared at Song Yu before she asked, “What kind of response is this?”

“Do you still not get it? I’m telling you that I already knew that my family went bankrupt because of Chengzhi. However, I don’t care, and I don’t hate him. I was not even angry at him. Even after I found out about this, I still decided to get a marriage certificate with him. I’m the one who suggested the certificate. Do you think I feel defeated when I’ve made such decisions?”

“You…” Mu Sisi could not believe it. It was impossible for Song Yu not to hate Qi Chengzhi unless she had mental issues. If an ordinary person went through such things, they would have so much hate in them.

“It’s impossible. Stop pretending, Song Yu. I will admit that you have a high level of tolerance, and you look calm. I can’t beat you on that. However, do you think that you can lie to me about this? If you already knew about this, why did Brother Chengzhi give such a huge reaction?” Mu Sisi thought it was still a possibility after she gave it some more thoughts.

Song Yu’s expression darkened. She stared at Mu Sisi angrily and asked, “You went to see Chengzhi again?”

“Yes, I told him that I knew everything. I told him that I’m going to tell you about this too, and he started to get nervous. I’ve never seen him this nervous, not even when he was at his worst and could not find any business for the new company in the States. He never acted this way. He was scared that you would find out, but if you already knew about it, how could he be that nervous?” Mu Sisi laughed. “Song Yu, stop pretending, your face changed. Do you think you can still lie to me?”

“Mu Sisi, who do you think you are, messing in other people’s business? You claim that you love Chengzhi, but you want to force him to feel the same about you. When he doesn’t love you that way, you come up with all kinds of ways to hurt him and ruin his marriage, is this how you love someone? If so, whoever you love will have bad luck. The world does not revolve around you. You won’t get to do or get what you want, and you won’t get your feelings reciprocated, you’re not Renminbi, where did you get this kind of confidence? Did you really think that everyone has to like and tolerate you as your family does? Isn’t your arrogance a little overboard?” Song Yu was angry, but she also knew that Mu Sisi might not process what she said. To Mu Sisi, she was the most important person to herself, and her opinions mattered the most. No one could do anything against her wishes.

“You always said you’re almost as good looking as me. If you claim so, stop with the unrealistic wishes.” Song Yu watched as Mu Sisi’s expression darkened, but she did not stop there. She continued to say, “You think that everyone needs to live for you and treat your wishes as orders, do you think that’s possible? Is it realistic? Even the daughter of a President does not have such power, even a law proposed by the President would need to be passed in Congress. You’re just the daughter of the Mu family, and your family sells clothes, bags, and makeup. You’re just a little rich, what do you have to be arrogant about?”

“In terms of money, the Mu family is poorer than the Qi family. On top of that, you’re the second child in the Mu family, so your brother would inherit the family’s fortune. Even if you were to receive a few shares of the company, your net worth is still way less than Chengzhi, who will be inheriting the Qi family. Your assets are worth nothing next to his. If you think it’s that important to marry a family of the same status and reputation, you have far fewer assets than him and lower status than him, what are you going to use to force Chengzhi to marry you? What do you have to be arrogant about? How high do you think your status really is?”

“Enough, even if I’m what you said, that I’m not good enough for Brother Chengzhi, I’m still better than you!” Mu Sisi was so angry that her face was flushed.

If it were someone of her status or higher that gave her the lecture, or if it were Qi Chengyue who gave her the speech, she would not be that angry.

“Your family is bankrupt, and you’re working for a small company. Who are you to talk to me like that?” Mu Sisi said as she clenched her teeth. “Even though I went to the States as a kid, but I do know a Chinese proverb, that one should know his limitations. You’re no better than me in any way, and you dare to lecture me? You’re laughing about how my status is not as high as Brother Chengzhi? If I’m not better than him, neither are you!”

“Mu Sisi, it’s funny how you still remember one should know his limitations. Yes, I’m not like you, or to be accurate, I was not as good as you before I got married. However, when I was still the daughter of the Song family before we went bankrupt, I have never used my status or money to threaten others. I have never felt like I was better than anyone else. I was still the only child of the Song family, and if we did not go bankrupt, I would inherit everything. Based on this little fact, I’m already better than you,” Song Yu said. She was no longer in a rush, and she wanted to be frank with Mu Sisi. She had had enough of Mu Sisi’s arrogance.

Since Mu Sisi came to her that day, she might as well clear everything with her.

Mu Sisi was about to open her mouth and rebuke her words, but Song Yu cut her short and said, “I know you want to say that I’m no longer the daughter of a grand Song family since we are bankrupt. However, I’m now Qi Chengzhi’s wife, and I’m the daughter-in-law of the Qi family. I am the next madam of the Qi family. With this point alone, my status is higher than you right now. I have a bigger bank account balance than you, the investment portfolios Chengzhi handles for me are more than yours. He moved both his liquid and non-liquid assets to my name, so for either one of those, I have more than you. You want to talk about money? I can throw them on you. You want to talk about status? I am the next madam of the Qi family. Ask anyone, and they will tell you that my status is higher than yours. What are you complaining about here? I kept quiet all this time and not stoop as low as you because you’re nothing to me. You’re just an immature and brainless little girl, why would I want to stoop as low as you and ruin my style? However, since you’ve been harassing me time after time, I don’t have to take it anymore.”

“I don’t care if you admit it or not, but logically speaking, I am better than you,” Song Yu said as she straightened her back. She thought about how Qi Chengzhi looked down on people, so she squeezed her eyes together like he did and looked down at Mu Sisi arrogantly. “You want to pretend to be a big shot in front of me? Who are you to do that?”

“You finally admit it?” Mu Sisi suddenly laughed, as if she knew what was going on. “Just as I expected, you don’t even care about taking revenge. You only married Brother Chengzhi because of the Qi family’s status, and for his money. What you really care about is his status and money. You want to steal all of his assets and take your revenge, don’t you?”

Mu Sisi looked at Song Yu with a sudden realization. “Oh, I know now. Brother Chengzhi did not know that you already knew the real reason behind the Song family’s bankruptcy. You hid it from him intentionally. You plan to tolerate it until he lets his guard down, and you’ll get to destroy him with everything that he gave you, right?”

Mu Sisi laughed loudly. “Song Yu, you really have it in you. Brother Chengzhi loves you so much, but you treat him this way, you’re such an evil witch. And I wondered why you were not surprised at all, but in truth, you’ve already planned all of this!”

Song Yu stood up suddenly, grabbed the glass of lemon-infused water in front of her, and splashed it all over Mu Sisi’s face. “Mu Sisi, if you have mental issues, you should see someone professional about it! Don’t think of others with such dirt. I didn’t tell him because I love him, and I don’t want it to be a burden on him. Someone like you wouldn’t understand it because you don’t know what love is. Your so-called love is to find him and threaten him with it, to give him a hard time and pain. Let me guess. What did you do when you went to find him? Threaten him? If he got together with you, you wouldn’t tell me about this? You’re so disgusting. Who do you think you are to mess with our marriage? It is a rare sight to see such a thick-faced person like you. Even the mistresses in novels or television are not as disgusting as you. Would it be true love if you got it by threatening him? Aren’t you sick of yourself? Think about it, if you married a man you love, and there was a woman who came and bothered your husband with no shame, and your husband doesn’t like her at all, but she still came to disgust you both time after time – how would you feel about it?”

“Song Yu, you’re just afraid! If it were me, if my husband loved me, I would have faith in him, and I won’t care. If he loved me, the mistress would not be able to break us up. If she had the guts to approach me, I’d have the guts to show off my husband in front of her. I have all the confidence in the world. If someone else liked my husband, it meant that he has charisma, and I made the right choice. I would be happy about it and thank the woman for liking my husband. You’re angry, and you hate me because you don’t have enough self-confidence or you are afraid of me. You’re afraid that I would really steal Brother Chengzhi away from you, and you feel that I’m a threat. This shows that your relationship with Brother Chengzhi is not as strong as you claim it to be.” Mu Sisi stood up and laughed as she wiped the water in her hair and on her face.

Song Yu got so mad that she started to laugh. Who knew there was such a person in the world. It was an understatement to say that she had mental issues.

“When I marry Brother Chengzhi, I’ll welcome you to steal him from me. I will never be as petty as you are and embarrass him,” Mu Sisi announced proudly. She grabbed her glass and wanted to splash it onto Song Yu. She did not scream because she waited to take her revenge on her. If she didn’t do that, then Song Yu would think that she was an easy target.

To Mu Sisi’s surprise, before she could splash the glass of water on her, Song Yu grabbed the glass and swung it onto her instead. The lemon-infused water splashed on her face again.

“It’s just a dream. You should never think it’s real.” Song Yu let go of her hand and mocked her with a laugh.

Mu Sisi could not hold it in anymore. She screamed, “Song Yu, you’re such a shrew! Who are you to do this to me? How are you this unreasonable?”

“Why would I need to be reasonable to deal with a crazy person like you? You’re trying to ruin my marriage. I’m already decent enough to not tear at your hair or scream at you!” Song Yu said before she turned around and left. She had already said more than enough to a brainless and crazy woman like Mu Sisi.

As she watched Song Yu leave, Mu Sisi tried to chase her. “Song Yu, you’re guilty, you don’t have genuine feelings for Brother Chengzhi at all, you’re doing this for revenge, I’m right about this! You got angry after I exposed you for it, and even splashed water on me, you’re such a shrew!”

She ran as she screamed before a waitress stopped her. “Miss, your coffee hasn’t been served!”

“I don’t want it anymore!” Mu Sisi pushed the waitress’ hand off her and tried to run after Song Yu again.

The waitress grabbed Mu Sisi’s arm with both her hands. “We can’t do that. The coffee is already being brewed. We were grinding the coffee beans, that’s why it took some time. However, your order has already been confirmed, and it’s too late to change it now. If you don’t want it anymore, sure, but you need to pay for it!”

Mu Sisi and Song Yu’s voices were loud, and the waitresses had overheard the conversation.

They could tell that it was Mu Sisi, who was the shameless mistress who tried to ruin someone else’s family. The couple did not even care about her. She was the one who wanted to push her way in with that arrogance and a mouth full of nonsense.

Although she was a customer and they could not do anything to her, but they tried their best to stop her and not let her annoy the legitimate wife any further.

If they could report her to the police, they would.

Mu Sisi pulled her purse from her bag impatiently and threw a hundred dollar note on the waitress. Just as she tried to leave, she was held back by the waitress again.

“It’s only 32 dollars, and we need to give you change! Do you want a receipt?” the waitress asked.

“No, I don’t want anything!” Mu Sisi said rudely. Song Yu should already be in the lift by then.

The waitress still grabbed her. Mu Sisi turned around and yelled, “I said I don’t want anything. I have already paid for it, why are you annoying me? Let go of me!”

The waitress pursed her lips before she let go of her.

Mu Sisi rushed outside, but she could not find Song Yu anywhere.

She was so mad that she clenched her teeth. A few moments later, she finally decided to stop looking for Song Yu and then walked out of the building.

As she walked down the steps, she stomped her foot in anger. The slim heel on one of her stilettos bent as a result of the impact and her foot tilted. Pow! The heel broke as she stomped on nothing. Her foot slanted to the side, and she twisted her ankle.

“Ow!” Mu Sisi was in pain as she sat on the steps. She had also scratched herself on the edge of the steps. She was in so much pain that she turned pale, and tears flowed from her eyes.

She took the broken stiletto off her foot and threw it onto the pavement, and she nearly hit someone.

“What are you doing!” a woman, who looked like she was in her thirties, screamed. The stiletto nearly hit her, but she managed to dodge it. She picked up the stiletto and pointed at Mu Sisi as she approached her.

“What are you doing, stop pointing at others, don’t you have manners?” Mu Sisi had never been pointed at that way. She felt uneasy and swatted the woman’s hand away with force. Pow! Her hand hit the woman’s wrist.
