Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 214 Second Wife
"Uncle Yao, what did you mean just now?"

The second sister-in-law thought about Kang Qirui's words carefully, and felt that he had something else in his words, but she didn't understand what it meant. She knocked on Kang Qirui's door and asked with a gossipy look on her face.

"It doesn't mean anything." Kang Qirui played dumb.

"No, you must know something. Just tell me, you know me, and I won't be able to sleep today if you don't tell me." The second sister-in-law begged bitterly.

Kang Qirui didn't want to talk about others behind their backs. He shrugged and said, "I just think it's strange, sister-in-law, don't you think it's strange? He himself has a Cantonese hukou but he didn't give Ajuan a hukou. He has his own company but he doesn't let Ajuan go to work. I just think it's strange, but I really don't know the specific situation."

The second sister-in-law thought about it and nodded: "Yes, why did he look for us?" Seeing her mumbling to herself, Kang Qirui closed the door. Seeing him close the door, the second sister-in-law ignored him. She felt that Kang Qirui had told her everything he knew, and she secretly decided to investigate the matter carefully.

The next day, the second sister-in-law got up early and lay by the door, staring at the Zhu family next door. After a while, she saw Mr. Mai go out and drive away by himself. Without thinking, she got a taxi and followed him secretly. In order to follow Mr. Mai, the second sister-in-law did not go home for lunch or dinner, and even asked Zhu Wanling to take care of Siyu for her.

It was not until after eight o'clock in the evening that the second sister-in-law returned to the Kang family. "This is really outrageous. I saw Mr. Mai today. Mr. Mai..." The second sister-in-law gnashed her teeth and cursed as soon as she came back, but she cursed for a long time without explaining what happened.

"Did he molest you?" The eldest brother guessed just by seeing the angry look on his second sister-in-law's face.

"No!" The second sister-in-law was stunned.

"He didn't molest you, why are you so angry?" Big Brother Guang was puzzled, he was just so straightforward.

"I'm angry because Mr. Mai has a mistress." The second sister-in-law said mysteriously, "Didn't Mr. Mai run away yesterday because of the two questions asked by Uncle Yao? So I secretly followed him for a day today. I saw him politely hugging and sweet-talking a woman in the mall. If this isn't keeping a mistress, what is it?"

"I really can't believe that Mr. Mai also has a mistress." The boss just smiled, his tone a little excited.

The second sister-in-law was very perceptive to hear the tone of Lao Guang, and asked in confusion: "Uncle, why are you not angry at all, but rather excited?"

The eldest brother was speechless at the second sister-in-law's question, and said helplessly: "What the hell, what does it have to do with me? Why should I be angry?"

"How come you don't have any sense of justice?" Xianglan became unhappy when she heard what Big Brother Guang said.

"What does this have to do with a sense of justice?" Big Brother Guang said. Xianglan became even angrier, "You mean you're on Mr. Mai's side?"

The second sister-in-law pointed at the big boss and said seriously: "That's right, you have to express your position on this issue."

Zhu Wanling and Xingzi both stared at Da Lao Guang with scrutinizing eyes. Kang Qirui and the second Lao looked at each other, and also knew the situation and joined everyone in judging Da Lao Guang with their eyes to show that they stood on the same side as everyone else.

"What does this matter have to do with me? What attitude should I express?" Big Brother Guang looked helpless.

"So what you mean is that you approve of this matter? You turn a blind eye to it, right? You support his behavior, right? You want to be like him, right?" Xianglan became more and more excited as she spoke, and she even pinched the boss's kidneys.

The boss broke free from Xianglan's iron grip, hid behind Kang Qirui, and said helplessly: "Hey, are you guys kidding me? I didn't say anything, but you said I have a mistress. If I dare to do that, my whole family will not let me go."

"But come on, A-chan, don't tell Mrs. Mai about this. What if she gets so depressed that she commits suicide?" Kang Qirui shook his head at Lao Guang's words. He hasn't even cleared himself yet, but he's already saying that Mr. Mai's bad deeds shouldn't be spread. Isn't this going to anger everyone?

Everyone's reaction was beyond Kang Qirui's expectations. After hearing what Da Lao Guang said, the second sister-in-law actually nodded in agreement, "That's right, we can't tell you. We can't tell you. Mrs. Mai cried so hard yesterday because she didn't let her register for household registration. If she knew that Mr. Mai had a mistress, she might really be upset."

She turned around and said painfully, "But if I don't tell you, I'm afraid I'll die if I keep such a big thing in my heart. I don't want her to die, and I don't want to die even more. What should I do?"

"Second sister-in-law, you have already told everyone, how can you still hold it to death?" Kang Qirui said.

“How is it the same? I haven’t told Mrs. Mai.” The second sister-in-law spread her hands. She was very self-aware and knew that she couldn’t keep such a big secret. She was worried that if she let the secret slip and Ajuan found out, Ajuan would be upset. On the other hand, she also felt sorry for Ajuan and thought that she should tell her.

The second sister-in-law knew herself well, and she really couldn't keep a secret. Basically, what she knew was known to the whole Changsheng Street. Within two days, she let the secret slip and spread it. It spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Even on his way home from get off work, people came to talk to Kang Qirui about the fact that Mr. Mai had a mistress.

"Why are you spreading rumors and slandering me?" Kang Qirui just walked in and heard Mr. Mai and Ajuan standing in the living room and yelling at his second sister-in-law. "What are you talking about? I don't understand." The second sister-in-law imitated Kang Qirui's behavior that day and pretended to be stupid.

"Pretending? You're still pretending? Don't you dare say that it wasn't you who told everyone that I had a mistress?" Mr. Mai slammed the table and said angrily.

The second sister-in-law took a step back, fearing that Mr. Mai would hit him. But she said firmly: "If you have it, you have it. If you don't have it, you don't have it. If you don't have it, why are you afraid of what others say?"

"That's right. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it." Xianglan also said sarcastically.

"Okay, okay, you're still slandering me." Mr. Mai acted as if he was innocent. "If you really saw me with a mistress, you have to tell me the time and place."

The second sister-in-law wanted to say it, but when she saw Ajuan's pitiful look, she couldn't bear it. Xianglan kept urging her to speak out, but the second sister-in-law just shook her head. Now Mr. Mai was even more proud, "If you can't say it, it means it doesn't exist? I really didn't expect that you usually like to gossip, and you would even make up rumors to frame others."

The second sister-in-law couldn't bear it anymore after being scolded by him. She stood up and started the Canjichan mode: "Okay, you, I didn't intend to expose you, but you are the villain who complained first, right? I'm telling you now, the day before yesterday on the second floor of Baihua Shopping Center, you and a woman were flirting with each other."

"That's my wife." Mr. Mai couldn't help but tell the truth after being scolded by his second sister-in-law.

"Ah?" Everyone present was shocked, except Kang Qirui.

Zhu Wanling was the quickest to calm down among the sisters-in-law. She pointed at A Juan and asked, "The person Second Sister-in-law saw was your wife, so who is she?"

Mr. Mai regretted it right after he said it, and now he could only bite the bullet and say, "She is definitely her."

After he said this, everyone understood. "So she is a mistress." This could explain the two questions Kang Qirui asked him that day. Because Ajuan was a mistress, she could not be registered in Mr. Mai's household registration and could not work in Mr. Mai's company.

A Juan originally thought that Mr. Mai had found another one outside, so she dragged him to the Kang family to ask for clarification. But she didn't expect that the second sister-in-law saw Mr. Mai's legal wife, and it also exposed the fact that she was the mistress. She was so ashamed that she covered her face and ran away. Seeing this, Mr. Mai chased after her.

"Honey, what's wrong with you men?" Zhu Wanling suddenly asked before going to bed at night. It seems that she is not as calm as she seems to be about Ajuan being a mistress. She is also worried that Kang Qirui will learn from Mr. Mai in the future. After all, she is eight years older than Kang Qirui.

"What could be going on? You don't know me, your husband. In our family, I'm the least likely to have a mistress." Kang Qirui knew that Zhu Wanling didn't really want to delve into the issue of men having mistresses, she was just worried.

"I don't think so. I think the person in the family who is least likely to have a mistress is my uncle." Zhu Wanling retorted.

"Hey" Kang Qirui disagreed. He had been lying down but sat up suddenly after hearing this and said, "How can you do this? Suspecting your husband? That's not right." Kang Qirui had to be serious about the matter of having a mistress. He didn't want Zhu Wanling to feel the slightest bit uneasy.

"Hahaha, I'm just saying it. Why are you so serious?" Zhu Wanling smiled and pushed Kang Qirui back to the bed. She also lay down beside him. "I'm just saying that uncle is 43 this year, and sister-in-law is only 26. Even if he really wants to find a mistress, he won't be able to find one younger and prettier than sister-in-law, right?"

Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
"You don't understand this, right? Who says that if you want to keep a mistress, you have to find a young and beautiful one?" Kang Qirui recalled a TV series he had watched in the future, in which the husband of the heroine went out to keep a mistress and found a "third wife". He joked with Zhu Wanling, "He might also think that Xianglan is too young to take care of others and is too delicate, so he went out to find an older one who only thinks about him and takes good care of him."

"You seem to be very experienced?" Zhu Wanling asked, supporting her head with one hand and staring at Kang Qirui sideways.

Kang Qirui raised his hands in surrender, "My dear wife, I'm innocent. I only learned this from watching TV. How could I have any experience?" He did learn this from watching TV, but it was TV that he watched in later life.

"I don't want to bother with you." Zhu Wanling lay down, and suddenly she sat up again, "What do you think? Should I still rent my mother's house to them?"

"Ah?" Kang Qirui didn't understand. How could this happen? "That woman is so shameless. She became someone's mistress and destroyed his family. How can we rent our house to such a person?"

"Forget it. I remember that her lease only has two months left. At most, we can just not renew her contract. There's no need to kick her out now." Kang Qirui thought for a while and said. He didn't feel sorry for Ajuan, he just felt that it was not cost-effective to terminate the contract now.

Zhu Wanling nodded, "Okay. Then let them stay here for the last two months."
