Aside from the villa, her father-in-law had millions in savings, which was why the stepmother was willing to stay with him.

In contrast, her husband was quite ordinary, just a typical employee with average ambition at a regular company.

After Wei Zhenjing entered the villa, she headed straight for the stepmother's room. The nanny had already been dismissed by the stepmother, and there were no other servants in the house, making it very quiet.

To avoid alerting them, she took off her shoes and went upstairs barefoot.

However, the stepmother's room was empty. Wei Zhenjing pondered for a moment before proceeding to the honeymoon suite. Standing outside the door, she indeed heard the lewd sounds of her husband and stepmother, along with disgusting words that pierced her ears.

"Come here, give me a kiss. I just ran into one of Wei Zhenjing's friends who said she went to get her fortune told and won't be back soon."

"You can't touch me after you give birth. I've missed you so much, hurry up..."

Then came the coquettish voice of the stepmother, "Hmph, tell me, is she better or am I?"

"Of course it's you, you're the best. Now, quickly take your clothes off..."

Wei Zhenjing suppressed her disgust and, braving the chilly balcony breeze, made a call to her father-in-law. She gave a cold laugh.

"Dad, I've prepared a big feast. Bring your colleagues home to enjoy it."

Chapter 137

In no time,

a large crowd arrived at the villa gates.

The leader of the group wore a khaki suit. His buzz cut revealed not a single strand of black hair, and his well-preserved appearance belied his sixty years of age.

Sun Zhenguo first changed into slippers at the entrance and then warmly welcomed his guests to take a seat on the living room sofas. "Please sit down, everyone. Dinner will be served shortly."

He was always one to crave admiration. Upon hearing that Wei Zhenjing had cooked a lavish meal, he had deliberately invited a bunch of colleagues to show off.

One of his colleagues remarked enviously, "Brother Sun, you're truly blessed. Not only did you find a beautiful companion, but you also have such a filial daughter-in-law. She cooks for you, and even includes us in the meal. Don't you all agree?"

The others were equally envious and eagerly agreed.

Sun Zhenguo, seeing his colleagues' envy, felt all the more like a champion of life. He stood tall and proud, his face beaming with satisfaction, "What can I say? Your envy won't change that."

"I'm not boasting, but while you're working like oxen and horses for your daughters-in-law, I'm living large in front of Wei Zhenjing. She can't bear children, so she's always on her best behavior, afraid of displeasing me or being pressured into a divorce."

After that, he sighed, "But honestly, I'd rather hold my grandchild than wield power."

Indeed.

It was no secret that Wei Zhenjing couldn't conceive.

His colleagues couldn't help but recall that Sun Zhenguo's second wife had recently given birth to another child.

Their hearts tasted like sour grapes, filled with bitterness and envy.

They were all roughly the same age. Why was it that only Sun Zhenguo's seed seemed fertile?

To still father children at sixty, their jealousy burned bright enough to turn their eyes red.

However, they maintained their composure, taking turns to offer comforting words.

"It doesn't matter if there's no more child. Anyway, your daughter-in-law is now helping to raise the younger son. Having an heir is what counts."

"That's right. If the elder son can't have children, the younger one surely will!"

"Indeed." Sun Zhenguo didn't seem too pleased. "Young people have their own lives. You all sit down, I'll go check on the food."

He entered the kitchen only to find that no cooking was in progress. He felt a loss of face and grumbled, "Are you kidding me? You said the food was already prepared. A couple of compliments and you can't handle it?"

The others replied awkwardly.

"It's okay, we're not hungry yet. How about we wait a bit?"

"Yeah, Brother Sun, we can watch TV first. It's no problem."

Sun Zhenguo responded, "You all sit down. I'll go upstairs and see what Ah Jing is up to. No hot dishes have appeared on the table for so long."

The others got up as well, admiring the magnificent villa with envy.

"Brother Sun, we'll come with you."

"Indeed, a villa. We can only afford tiny apartments of a dozen square meters."

Blown away by the compliments, Sun Zhengguo agreed to the tour.

A group of around seven or eight people ascended to the second floor. Soon, they all heard uninhibited sounds coming from a room.

They exchanged glances, aware of the implications of such intimate noises.

"Cough, cough, cough."

One of the friends teased, "Brother Sun, it seems your wife isn't cooking but engaging in some quality time with your son."

Upon hearing the sounds, Sun Zhengguo's face darkened. He couldn't bear the jesting from his old friend and grumbled under his breath.

"In broad daylight, there's no need to be in such a hurry! These young ones have no manners these days! Come, come, I'll take you all out for a meal."

As he turned to lead them downstairs, he bumped into Wei Zhenjing, who was just coming up.

Everyone was left dumbfounded.

"Father-in-law, the food is still warm in the steamer. It can be served immediately," Wei Zhenjing maintained a cold facade, striving to maintain appearances. She had just checked the surveillance footage and obtained videos from the past two years.

To her surprise, she found ample evidence.

Just then—

A series of ambiguous sounds echoed from within the room once more.

Sun Zhenguo's face turned icy cold.

Since Wei Zhenjing was outside, who were the two individuals engaging in illicit activities inside the room?

Surprised, Wei Zhenjing pretended as if she had just heard the sounds. With an expression of astonishment, she glanced quickly at the room, her eyes filled with grievance as she covered her mouth in disbelief, pointing towards the room, "Father-in-law... Why are there sounds coming from the room?"

Sun Zhenguo already sensed that something was amiss. Believing that his son had brought a prostitute home, he hurriedly tried to intervene.

But who could have anticipated...

With remarkable agility, Wei Zhenjing slipped aside and, in one breath, opened the door right before everyone's eyes.

In an instant, the atmosphere turned chilly.
