Zhu Jun's thoughts were all on the child in Wang Xia's belly, leaving him no energy to deal with Yang Liu.
"Yang Liu, go back home quickly and stop embarrassing yourself here."
This remark further infuriated Yang Liu: "Those who cheat aren't embarrassed, those who stray aren't seen. It's me who's the embarrassment here. We've been married for eight years, Zhu Jun, do you have any conscience left? Are you even human after doing this?"
The dispute between the legal wife and the third party immediately attracted a crowd.
People pointed fingers at Wang Xia, and some criticized Yang Liu for being too aggressive, especially since the third party was pregnant.
Upon hearing voices from the crowd supporting her, Wang Xia arrogantly said, "Yang Liu, you've been with Jun Ge for eight years and still haven't given birth to a child. Being unfilial is a major fault. Since you can't have children yourself, why not let Jun Ge have a future? Jun Ge hasn't had feelings for you for a long time. Be sensible and divorce quickly, don't hold onto something you can't manage."
Meng Ning was stunned to witness such arrogance from the third party. Nowadays, are mistresses this bold?
Yang Liu's inability to conceive was her sore spot. Seeing the third party pregnant only exacerbated her emotions.
At this moment, Zhu Jun remained silent. Yang Liu swung her LV bag and aimed it at Wang Xia.
"I'll kill you, shameless mistress!"
Zhu Jun shielded Wang Xia and grabbed Yang Liu, scolding her, "Are you crazy? Do you want to make a scene?"
"I am crazy, but I've been driven crazy by you two adulterers!"
Yang Liu persisted in her fury, attempting to hit Wang Xia. In the struggle, Zhu Jun, also in rage, slapped Yang Liu, causing her to lose balance and fall.
"Look at what you've become now, you're simply a shrew."
Yang Liu quieted down, looking in disbelief at the husband who had shared a bed with her for eight years.
"You hit me for this mistress? Zhu Jun, you will regret this."
Seeing Yang Liu being struck, Wang Xia's eyes gleamed with satisfaction, though she feigned pain, clutching Zhu Jun and saying, "Jun Ge, my stomach hurts."
Zhu Jun became anxious and disregarded Yang Liu, carrying Wang Xia towards the emergency room.
"Zhu Jun, you bastard!" Yang Liu yelled at his retreating figure, but couldn't stop him.
Unable to contain her emotions any longer, Yang Liu burst into tears.
Meng Ning stood aside, unsure whether to approach or pretend she hadn't seen.
She knew Yang Liu's temperament too well. If she intervened, she would definitely be drawn into this mess.
Sure enough, Yang Liu spotted Meng Ning in the crowd and turned her hostility towards her.
"So you're here to mock me, aren't you? Did you already know that Zhu Jun was seeing someone else? Meng Ning, you're just jealous that I married better than you. Are you protecting that pair of adulterers?"
Meng Ning was speechless. "Stop biting at everyone you see. Your marital issues have nothing to do with me."
Even if she didn't know Zhu Jun's mistress was pregnant, even if she did and warned Yang Liu, would Yang Liu have appreciated it?
Qin Huan also said, "If you have the guts, go confront the mistress or your husband. Why are you yelling at us? We didn't make your husband cheat or get the mistress pregnant."
Yang Liu's face turned pale with anger. Qin Huan pulled Meng Ning along. "Ningbao, let's go."
Meng Ning knew that Yang Liu was furious, but since they were never on good terms, there was no need to stay and offer comfort.
As Meng Ning and Qin Huan walked away, Yang Liu shouted from behind, "Meng Ning, if I can't have a good life, neither will you!"
Meng Ning felt that she must have had bad luck today. Zhu Jun's infidelity had nothing to do with her, yet Yang Liu was venting all her anger on her.
Meng Ning didn't take it to heart, thinking that as long as she kept her distance from Yang Liu, everything would be fine.
Meng Ning and Qin Huan left the hospital, had a meal together, and after lunch, Qin Huan had to attend to something at her beauty salon, so Meng Ning took the bus home by herself.
As soon as Meng Ning got home, she received a call from her mother. "Xiao Ning, your cousin is in trouble. Your aunt just called me. Your cousin's husband really did cheat, and now Yang Liu is demanding a divorce. I'm on my way to your aunt's house to try to calm things down..."
"Yes, Mom, I know." Meng Ning sat down on the sofa. "I ran into her at the hospital earlier. Mom, you really shouldn't get involved in this. It won't do any good and will only cause more trouble."
