Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 538 - 541: Rice Topping

"Finally, the two of them fought their way over to the scaffolding."

"Things got heated, and they both started looking for weapons. That's when the other guy tried to pull a steel pipe from the scaffolding."

"And then, the scaffolding collapsed, crushing the victim to death."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou's face showed his surprise.

"Are you serious, Jia Jia?" Liu Ergou asked, astonished. "That was scaffolding, for God's sake! What kind of shoddy scaffolding falls apart with a single pull? If that's true, the site manager ought to be shot!"

At this, Han Jiajia shrugged.

"Honestly, Er Gou, we couldn't believe it either. But after we investigated, we discovered something."

"The victim built that scaffolding himself. He saw no one was using it, so he cut corners on the materials and labor, so..."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

So he basically killed himself? That's just insane.

While Liu Ergou was lost in thought, Han Jiajia spoke up, "That's the whole truth of the matter."

"You can figure out how to break the news to Feng Chunling. After all, this situation is..."

At this point, Han Jiajia trailed off.

Liu Ergou, of course, understood what she meant and didn't say anything more.

For a moment, the car fell into a heavy silence.

The silence stretched for a good three or four minutes before Han Jiajia, unable to stand the atmosphere any longer, finally broke it.

"Anyway, Er Gou, that's the whole story. If there's nothing else, you should probably get going. I still have work to do."

Liu Ergou nodded.

Seeing that he agreed, Han Jiajia took the opportunity to get out of the car.

However, just then, a few police officers happened to be walking out of the station. They saw Han Jiajia getting out of Liu Ergou's car, and surprise instantly flashed across their faces.

"Ah, Jia Jia, did your boyfriend come to see you?" one of them asked.

Hearing this, Han Jiajia immediately denied it.

"No, no, he's not my boyfriend, just a normal friend, I..."

Before Han Jiajia could finish, Liu Ergou's voice suddenly called out from the car.

"Jia Jia, you've been a huge help. Let me treat you to dinner tonight. I'll come pick you up!"

Without giving Han Jiajia a chance to respond, Liu Ergou sped off.

As he drove away, he could clearly hear a chorus of surprised exclamations from behind him.

"Wow, Jia Jia, and you said he wasn't your boyfriend! If he's not, why is he calling you Jia Jia?"

"Exactly! And he's a man, after all. I'm telling you, he has to be your boyfriend!"

"I agree! So, Jia Jia, when's the wedding?"

Hearing their voices, Liu Ergou couldn't help but laugh.

I wonder what kind of expression Han Jiajia has on her face right now.

Leaving the police station, Liu Ergou had nowhere else to go, so he headed straight back to the hotel.

Feng Chunling was a little surprised to see him return so soon.

"Oh, Er Gou, are you done with your business already?"

To Feng Chunling's question, Liu Ergou replied with a hint of irritation, "Auntie, I told you from the very beginning that I wasn't busy!"

"But you didn't believe me and practically kicked me out the door!"

As he said this, Liu Ergou rolled his eyes.

Seeing his reaction, Feng Chunling gave an embarrassed smile.

"Oh, Er Gou, Auntie was just afraid of holding you back from important matters. Really!"

Before Feng Chunling could say more, Liu Ergou waved a hand, cutting her off.

"Alright, Auntie, that's enough."

"I just came from the police station with the latest news. Do you want to hear it?"

At his words, Feng Chunling immediately nodded.

"Go ahead, Er Gou."

Liu Ergou didn't beat around the bush and repeated everything Han Jiajia had told him.

When Feng Chunling had heard it all, she fell into a deep silence.

After a long while, she finally spoke. "I had a feeling he was keeping a mistress, but I never imagined he had a gambling habit."

With that, Feng Chunling sighed.

"But death is like a lamp going out. There's no point in saying anything now. I had already given up on him the moment I found out he was cheating... I..."

As she spoke, tears began to stream down her face.

Liu Ergou moved to get a tissue to wipe her tears, only to find that the box in the hotel room was empty.

He had no choice but to turn to Yang Mei.

"Yang Mei, go down to the front desk and get some tissues. Hurry!"

Yang Mei said nothing, simply turning and running downstairs.

Seeing Yang Mei leave, Feng Chunling suddenly spoke again. "Er Gou, honestly, I'm heartbroken, but I've truly given up on him."

"Now, you're all I have. You won't abandon me, will you?"

Looking at Feng Chunling's tearful, pleading face, Liu Ergou nodded firmly and then pulled her into his arms.

"Don't worry, Auntie. I won't abandon you."

Hearing Liu Ergou's words, a faint smile finally bloomed on Feng Chunling's face.

Looking at her in that moment, an inexplicable impulse surged through Liu Ergou.

His large hands began to grow bold, slipping under her clothes.

Feng Chunling didn't stop him, her face flushed red as she allowed his hands to roam freely over her body.

After quite some time, a blushing Feng Chunling finally struggled out of his grasp.

"Er Gou, stop messing around. Yang Mei will be back any second. If she sees... then we..."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou sighed deeply and withdrew his hands.

Seeing the look of disappointment on his face, Feng Chunling suddenly said with a serious expression, "Er Gou, I've been thinking, and we can't just keep hiding this."

"If we keep this up, the truth will come out eventually, and things will only get more complicated!"

"It would be better to find the right time and just tell her everything!"

Liu Ergou, however, was worried.

"But... Auntie, are you sure about that? If we just reveal everything, Yang Mei might not be able to take it!"

To Liu Ergou's complete surprise, Feng Chunling responded with a flirtatious giggle. "Er Gou, be honest. You wouldn't mind having both me and Yang Mei to keep you company, would you?"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou froze for a second before his face lit up with excitement.

Heh. The legendary mother-daughter special? I'd never even dared to dream of something like this.

But now, Feng Chunling herself had proposed it.

Seeing how excited he was, Feng Chunling couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"I knew you'd react like this!"

"Of course, I understand your concern, but don't worry. I'll handle Yang Mei."
