305 Betraying a Friend
“Don’t worry about that. As long as you agree to the divorce, I’ll handle the rest. You’ll leave with me after the banquet is over. I’ll handle this matter personally, and it’ll be over soon.”
Mother Wei looked at Su Meng coldly. The more she looked at Su Meng, the more she disliked her. Thinking of how Su Meng had dared to have an ambiguous relationship with another man in the Wei family before she divorced Wei Ting, she warned Su Meng, “Although divorce is inevitable, you’re not divorced yet. If you do such a thing, it will affect the Wei family’s reputation. I don’t care what you’re thinking, but you’d better behave yourself before we get the divorce papers.”
Mother Wei was furious. She wanted to see who the man was. He knew Su Meng’s identity but still dared to be so close to her. He was looking down on the Wei family.
Although the video was very clear, due to the angle of the shot, only half of the man’s face was revealed. In addition, there were many guests today, and she did not know everyone. Therefore, even if she saw the man’s clothes and hair, she could not tell who he was for a while.
Mother Wei looked around with a sullen face. When the others saw that she was looking at them, they quickly lowered their heads and pretended to be doing their own things. They did not dare to continue watching.
Mother Wei looked at almost all the guests present, but she didn’t see the man in the video. She thought, ‘Could it be that someone from the outside has sneaked into the Wei family?’ After all, there were too many people here today, and it wasn’t certain if there would be a few who would fish in troubled waters.
“Xiao Xue, come here.” Mother Wei called Wei Xue to her side.
She played the video for Wei Xue to see and asked in a low voice, “Do you know who the man in the video is?”
Wei Xue pretended to look carefully for a while, then stammered, “That, he… he’s…” She glanced at Xiao Xiao and did not say anything else.
This was a clear indication. Mother Wei immediately understood that this matter was related to the Xiao family.
Xiao Xiao saw Wei Xue looking at her and was afraid that she would really tell on Xiao Chen. Her heart was so nervous that it was about to twitch. She kept giving Wei Xue meaningful looks, indicating that she shouldn’t say anything.

Even though she had a rough idea, she could not question Xiao Xiao directly without getting an accurate answer.
After all, even if the Xiao family’s status wasn’t high, they were still today’s guests. If she was too aggressive, it would be easy for them to leave a trail. So she continued to ask Wei Xue, “Xiao Xue, do you know who he is? If you know, then quickly tell Mom. Don’t be afraid, with Mom’s support, no one will bully you.”
Wei Xue couldn’t wait to say who the person was, but if she said it too quickly, Xiao Xiao would think she did it on purpose, so the slower she spoke, the better.
Under Mother Wei’s constant questioning, she finally stammered out the man’s identity. “He… He’s Xiao Xiao’s brother, Xiao Chen,”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Xiao apologetically, indicating that she did not mean to do this.
“Xiao Chen? The Xiao family! It’s actually him!” Mother Wei thought that she had guessed it right.
She didn’t expect the Xiao family to be so ambitious despite their lack of strength. They actually dared to let Xiao Chen seduce their Wei family’s daughter-in-law in the Wei family. This wasn’t just going against the Wei family, it was stepping on the Wei family’s face!
In the past, in order to get close to the Wei family, Mother Xiao had flattered her in all kinds of ways.
She didn’t know if Mother Xiao knew what her son had done. If she did, how would she handle it? It seemed like they didn’t want to continue their business by going against the Wei family.
Mother Wei had long heard of Xiao Chen’s glorious deeds. She didn’t take it to heart before because it didn’t involve her. Now that Xiao Chen even dared to provoke the Wei family, she didn’t need to be polite to the Xiao family anymore.
Mother Wei glared at Mother Xiao fiercely. There were too many people now, so she couldn’t say anything. Otherwise, it would affect the Wei family if the matter got out of hand. She could only put this matter aside for the time being. After the banquet was over, it would be time for her to settle the score with Mother Xiao.
The conversation was very quiet, and others could only see that their expressions were not good, but they did not know what they were talking about. Originally, Xi Xi and the other girls wanted to make a big deal out of this, but they were stopped by Mother Wei at the critical moment.
This was the Wei family’s business. No matter how much she hated Su Meng, she would not let outsiders interfere. In particular, these few outsiders obviously did not doubt their good intentions and wanted to watch the fun. Having lived for so many years, she could see through these girls’ thoughts with one glance.
Were they trying to trick her? They had to cultivate for a few more years!
With Mother Wei around, no one dared to pay attention to this place openly. They were afraid of offending the Wei family, so they only observed this side quietly.
