Gan Hong blushed deeply, both angry and anxious: "You...you...how did you know he was me..."

Li Mu said, "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. As Huan Shui's elder brother, of course I should care about and help my younger brother's family when they are not getting along!"

Gan Hong suppressed her anger: "So what exactly do you want? What's the meaning of calling me?"

Li Mu said, "It's nothing. Didn't I say yesterday that I wanted to invite you to dinner, chat, and exchange ideas?"

Gan Hong whispered, "You said you're Huan Shui's older brother, but is it possible for an older brother to privately invite his younger siblings to dinner and chat?"

Li Mu said, "No? Why don't we ask Huanshui to come along? There are some things I want to talk to you about, and it wouldn't be good if Huanshui found out. Are you sure you want him to come?"

Gan Hong certainly didn't dare let Yu Huanshui accompany him. What if something unpleasant happened and Li Mu exposed them on the spot?

After hesitating for a moment, Gan Hong stammered, "I...I...I have something to do right now, I can't go."

Li Mu said, "I didn't hear Huan Shui mention anything about you having anything to do today! Since you have something to do this morning, then do it this afternoon! I'm fine with that."

Gan Hong cursed Yu Huanshui under her breath and whispered, "He probably won't have time this afternoon either. How about we talk it out over the phone?"

Li Mu said, "No rush, you go ahead and get busy this morning! I'll call you again this afternoon, maybe I'll have time then!"

Gan Hong wanted to say something more, but the other end of the phone had already hung up.

He gently rubbed his forehead, feeling a little melancholy. How did things turn out this way?

All morning, Gan Hong was somewhat absent-minded. She accompanied her son shopping in a daze and returned home to find Yu Huanshui sitting in the living room reading a laptop.

Suppressing her slight unease, she casually asked, "Didn't go out today? To see a movie?"

Yu Huanshui said, "No, no..."

With a desire to show off, he turned the laptop screen around: "I'm looking at this."

Gan Hong glanced at the screen casually. What was that? A black Honda—the same black Honda that Li Mu had photographed yesterday when her first love drove her home and parked it at the entrance of the residential area!

Gan Hong felt a sudden dizziness. Why was Yu Huanshui looking at this car? Could it be that Li Mu had reported her to Yu Huanshui because she hadn't accepted his invitation?

But looking at the expression on Yu Huanshui's face, it doesn't seem like it!

She was in a state of utter confusion, and could only use a strong exterior to hide her inner weakness.

He deliberately put on a fierce look and said, "Yu Huanshui, are you out of your mind? What's so interesting about a car?"

Yu Huanshui was bewildered by her sudden outburst of anger and could only carefully explain, "Didn't I say I was going to buy you a car? I'm serious."

"Look at the car I chose, the interior is really spacious, and the back seat can be folded down to be used as a bed..."

Gan Hong's mind was spinning. What did Yu Huanshui mean by that? Was he deliberately mocking her? Or did he suspect her... suspect that she and her first love were hiding in the car doing something unspeakable?

Why did I show her this car? Why did I say it was spacious inside and that the chairs could be laid flat to make a bed?

Her heart was pounding with anxiety, but her established position in the family wouldn't allow her to be weak or back down, even if she was in the wrong.

He slammed his hand on the table and roared, "Yu Huanshui, what do you mean by that... what exactly do you want to do?"

Looking at his wife's angry face, Yu Huanshui was even more confused. He had wanted to surprise her, so why was she reacting like this?

"I...I didn't mean anything by it! I just wanted to buy you a car. Please don't shout so loudly, what if you disturb our son?"

Gan Hong's chest heaved, and she said with a fierce but weak voice, "You care about your son too! What were you doing just now?"

Yu Huanshui scratched his head, looking confused: "I didn't do anything! I was choosing a car! Didn't I want to buy you a car? I don't understand why you're so angry."

Gan Hong was furious when she saw his innocent expression. She roared, "Buy a car? What car? What car... Are you trying to talk to me about cars?!"

"I'm telling you, you have to explain yourself clearly today. Why are you doing this? What exactly are you trying to do? Are you listening to others, or are you trusting your wife?"

Yu Huanshui was even more confused. It was just about buying a car, so why was it suddenly about listening to others or trusting his wife? Buying the car was his own idea; he hadn't listened to anyone else!

He said helplessly, "Honey, I just want to buy you a car, so what?"

Gan Hong slammed her hand on the table: "You know perfectly well what's wrong with you. I think you just trust outsiders more than your wife. This is unbearable..."

With that, she grabbed her bag and slammed the door shut as she stormed out…

She wanted to get to the bottom of things with Li Mu. He had clearly promised not to tell... and she hadn't even refused.

When Li Mu received Gan Hong's call, he was accompanying his girlfriend to choose a bag at a Chanel store.

"Hey, what's up, sister-in-law?"

Gan Hong growled, "Why? Did I refuse? Didn't you say you wouldn't tell Yu Huanshui?"

Li Mu said, "I didn't say that?"

Gan Hong said, "You still won't admit it? Yu Huanshui... he already used yesterday's car to mock me... you still won't admit it."

Li Mu said, "I really didn't say that. How about this, it's hard to explain over the phone. I'm at the Platinum Hotel now, why don't you take a taxi here, and we can have a meal together... and clear things up..."

Gan Hong hesitated and said, "I..."

Li Mu said, "I have the camera with me too! If things come to a head, I'll delete the video and audio I recorded yesterday. After all, you're my younger brother Huanshui's wife. If you two can reconcile, I'll be happy, and I don't want to sow discord between you."

Gan Hong said, "Alright!"

Li Mu said, "Alright, I'll wait for you at the hotel restaurant on the second floor..."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu saw that his girlfriend had already chosen a bag. He paid the bill and, seeing that she still wanted to go shopping, said, "Didn't your best friend call to invite you out? Now that you've bought the bag, I don't need you to come with me. Go ahead!"

Xiao Fei kissed Li Mu on the cheek: "Thank you, Oppa, mwah!"

She immediately called her best friend to show off her newly bought Chanel bag.

After leaving the Chanel boutique, I picked up my car downstairs in the mall and quickly arrived at the Platinum Hyatt Hotel.

They first booked a luxury suite, then went to the restaurant on the second floor. Just as they sat down, Gan Hong called, saying she was already in the hotel lobby.

After the waiter brought the person over and they ordered, Gan Hong finally spoke up: "What is it you want to say?"

Li Mu said, "It's nothing! I just wanted to invite you to dinner. Do you have to have some other purpose?"

Gan Hong looked at her with suspicion: "Just eating?"

Li Mu said, "What do you think! Did they invite you out to talk about love?"

Gan Hong blushed: "Who knows?"

Li Mu looked her up and down: "What? You think I invited you here today to talk about love? Then why did you come? Aren't you afraid of walking into the lion's den, or are you planning to play hard to get?"

Gan Hong was both angry and ashamed, her face flushed red: "You...you are shameless...I'm telling you...although...I have never done anything to betray Yu Huanshui."

Li Mu laughed and said, "Including seeing my first love yesterday..."

Gan Hong quickly explained, "We haven't been in contact for many years. We haven't spoken since I married Yu Huanshui. We just happened to run into each other... He was the one who initiated things in the car. I was angry with Yu Huanshui at the time, but that's all. We really didn't do anything inappropriate... I promise, I've never wronged Yu Huanshui..."

Li Mu said, "Really? It seems I misunderstood you."

Seeing the disbelief on Li Mu's face, Gan Hong became anxious.

“We really have nothing going on. I don’t want this to affect my relationship with Yu Huanshui. Since you acknowledge him as your older brother, you should want us to be happy and not want to see us arguing.”

"Please, give me the video. I don't want to live a life of suspicion with Yu Huanshui."

Seeing Gan Hong's hopeful expression, Li Mu smiled and said, "Let's eat first, I'll pay you back after lunch." As he spoke, he called the waiter to open a bottle of red wine.

……

Lunch ended quickly. Gan Hong, her face slightly flushed, looked at Li Mu and said, "I have fulfilled your request. Give me back the video."

Li Mu said, "Okay!" Then he looked around and shrugged, "But I don't have the camera on me!"

Gan Hong was a little angry: "When you called, didn't you say it was on you?"

Li Mu patted his forehead: "That's right! Let me think..."

"I remember now, it's in the room upstairs. I can't exactly bring my camera out to eat!"

Gan Hong said, "Then go and get it?"

Li Mu said, "We've finished lunch, so let's not linger at the table and delay the waiters from cleaning up."

"Let's go upstairs. It's quieter there, and nobody's watching. You can check the recording yourself, make sure it's correct, and then delete it."

Gan Hong glanced upstairs; this was a hotel, and she hesitated instantly.

Li Mu didn't care about her reaction. He picked up his handbag and went upstairs, as if he didn't care at all whether she came or not.

Gan Hong hesitated for two seconds before finally making a decision, gritting her teeth and following after them.

A minute later, Gan Hong walked into the suite, and Li Mu came over with two glasses of red wine: "Come on, have a drink with me!"

Gan Hong asked, "Where's the camera?"

Li Mu said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You need to learn to be calm and peaceful. Look how beautiful the atmosphere is right now. Isn't it pleasant to have a drink?"

"Here, take this. You need to learn to enjoy life, instead of suppressing and aggrieving yourself. Every day is filled with stumbles and calculations... Live a little more freely. It's just a drink, why think so much?"

Gan Hong hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the red wine.

Li Mu said, "Isn't this great? I can tell you're a straightforward person, and you're so beautiful that many people envy you. Why worry so much?"

Gan Hong took a sip of red wine and sneered: "Envy? Envy what? Envy living a timid and pathetic life, calculating every penny and making a living like a fly."

"Pretty? What's the use of being pretty? Can it feed you? If you have an incompetent husband, you'll still have to suffer with him."

Li Mu said, "You can't say that. Huan Shui is indeed a bit cowardly, but his character is still acceptable."

Gan Hong was also furious: "Character? What's so good about his character? He's a liar, I've never heard a single truth from him."
