Chapter: 6255
"Then, Ye Chen said: 'Alright, Dad. From now on, just don't go to the old folks' home and take care of your own painting association. If mom finds out about Mrs. Khan's return, I'll do my best to cover it up for you when you're going to meet her or invite her over for dinner. That way, if mom finds out, you can just say we don't have any connection whatsoever, let alone a private meeting, and at least leave some room for maneuver.'"
Kangkun took a deep breath and asked: "What about the exchange program in South Korea? If she finds out, how do I explain it?"
Ye Chen laughed: "Just tell her the truth. Say Mrs. Khan is going to South Korea with her boyfriend Professor He together. When two people go on a trip at the expense of the government, that's like a free pass. You're just a lamp post, and mom will be relieved knowing that she can't verify when they were together."
Kangkun listened and felt uneasy, but he had no choice but to say: "I guess there's nothing else we can do..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly asked Ye Chen: "Good son-in-law, you shouldn't go out for the time being. Just in case mom goes crazy one day, you should be prepared to help me hold her back."
Ye Chen readily agreed and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll be back in two days. As long as we're together, even if mom finds out, you won't have too much trouble. At most, you might get a little derailed mentally..."
As Ye Chen reminded him again: "But if mom gets worked up and starts beating or grabbing at you, just take it quietly for the time being. The storm will pass."
Kangkun was extremely gloomy, his face twisted in despair as he said: "What kind of nonsense is this?! If I had known it would be like this, I might as well have gone straight to court and divorced her! Then I could still get along with Mrs. Khan and have a chance with Professor He..."
Ye Chen was unyielding as he said: "Dad, if you think that way, you're wrong. If you take mom to court for divorce, do you know what she'll do?"
Kangkun snorted coldly: "She'll just scold me and beat me up until I leave the house. Leaving the house is fine, after all. We don't have any common property, so big deal if I move out!"
As he said that, he looked back on his decision with regret: "Ah! I should have made up my mind to do this earlier! As a vice-chairman, my income would still be decent, Mei Qing has some family background, and how couldn't we live comfortably? Now it's too late, one mistake can lead to eternal regrets!"
Ye Chen shook his head and said: "Dad, you're thinking too simply. Mom is not someone who will easily give up; just look at the green hats she hangs on the balcony every day..."
"If you leave Mrs. Khan, she'll definitely go to your workplace and scold you in public, go to Mrs. Khan's workplace and scold her in public, regardless of the facts, she'll make sure you're seen as a modern-day Chen Shimei who abandoned his wife, and Mrs. Khan will be portrayed as a fox spirit who seduced someone else's husband and destroyed their family..."
"Moreover, she'll definitely go to our neighborhood day and night, maybe even jump off the roof of your building and attract everyone in the community, including the fire department, police, and TV stations... You forgot about what happened before when she went door-to-door shouting abuse at everyone?"
As soon as Shao Changkun heard this, his face turned white with fear, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Ye Chen continued: "And also, nowadays with short videos so popular, many people who are one-sided will love to follow the wind and join in on the fun. When the time comes, another wave of people will come online to fuel the flames, maybe even making you two a laughingstock across the entire internet... Who knows, you might not be able to escape ridicule anywhere in China, let alone Jinling City."
Shao Changkun was completely hopeless at this point, and Ye Chen's descriptions had instantly conjured up vivid images in his mind, as if he were experiencing it firsthand.
Just then, he suddenly took a deep breath, as if he wanted to open up, and lamented: "For crying out loud, honestly speaking, I was afraid she'd follow me to my grave when we divorced, so I didn't dare to really go to court and get a divorce..."
Ye Chen's words were not just empty threats.
Ma Lang's behavior is unpredictable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
At her strong moments, she can ride on Auntie Ye Changmin's back and give a fierce earful to someone, or become a ghostly spirit to haunt Bedford Hills. At her weak moments, she can have her legs broken by Mrs. Shao and Xiao Weiwei in prison, and still sleep fitfully without a wink of rest. As long as this matter involves Han Meiying, she will definitely turn into an African honey badger with a flat head, taking life and death lightly and determined to go all out till the end. If Xiaochangkun had been brave enough to take that step back then, he would have found a way to help him, so Ma Lang wouldn't bother him and Han Meiying again. But Han Meiying gave Xiaochangkun an opportunity, but he didn't seize it. So Xiaochangkun's best choice now is to quickly come to his senses, realize that he can never be with Han Meiying, and once he understands this point, his heart will feel much better. Xiaochangkun's personality has always been very stable, so after Ye Chen gave him a scare, the whole person suddenly cleared up quite a bit.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but lament: "Some things in life are bound to happen, and some things don't need to be forced. I didn't get to go with you, Han Auntie, thirty years ago, and now it seems that we won't get to go together again - all this is only natural. Now I just hope Ma Lang doesn't find out about this and make a fuss at the Painting Association; if she really comes running, as the vice-chairman of the association, I don't have the face to handle it!"
Ye Chen nodded and smiled, saying: "Don't worry, I'll go back right away. If she finds out, Xiao and I will together dissuade her, probably pretty quickly." After that, Ye Chen reminded him: "However, you yourself must be careful from now on. In the future, keep a distance from Han Auntie - don't have too many interactions again, or else even if Han Auntie marries Professor He, it won't affect Mom's feeling that your heart is still with her and your spirit is astray - at that time, you'll also have trouble."
Xiao Changkun didn't hesitate to say, "Don't worry, Mom will understand when I'm old and won't come back again!"
As he spoke, he clasped his hands together in front of him, looking sulky. "Originally, I wasn't planning to come anyway, but next time when I see you Auntie Han, I still won't be enough to take the shock." JrNovels.com
