Li Mu laughed and said, "What? Are you afraid Yu Huanshui will find out you're not home?"

Gan Hong quickly got up and put on her clothes: "I have to go home, before Yu Huanshui."

Li Mu said, "Actually, you could also call Yu Huanshui and ask him to go later."

Li Mu knew that Yu Huanshui couldn't go now. Because he had offended Liang Anni, he was accused of stealing red wine and mooncakes. He was not only fined, but also made to stay and clean.

Having already boasted about it, all he could buy were two bottles of knock-off wine. Finally, after a long and arduous journey, he arrived at Gan Hong's parents' house, only to be ridiculed and looked down upon because of the inferior quality of the wine he brought.

Ultimately, the hype was too much. They claimed it was a bottle of red wine that cost two thousand yuan, but when I scanned the code with my phone to check the price, it was only a few dozen yuan a bottle.

This led to Gan Hong's younger brother taking advantage of the situation while drunk to ridicule him.

Gan Hong seemed to accept Li Mu's suggestion and picked up her phone to call Yu Huanshui, but no one answered. She called again, but still no one answered.

Gan Hong frowned, took a quick shower, got dressed, and dialed again, but still no one answered.

Finally, they simply dialed the office phone number of Yu Huanshui's company. This time someone answered; they were about to leave work. When asked about Yu Huanshui's situation, they immediately told him about the mooncakes and red wine that afternoon.

Gan Hong was so angry her teeth ached. What company benefit? It turned out she was impersonating a customer to collect gifts the company had prepared for other clients, and she'd been exposed. Not only did she lose the gifts, but she was also fined, had her salary docked, and made to stay after get off work to clean.

Disappointed, Gan Hong sighed heavily. She had truly had enough of this liar; it was time for a divorce.

Seeing that she didn't look well, Li Mu comforted her, "Alright, there's still some time. Let me go shopping with you and we can buy some gifts to take back."

Upon arriving at the mall, Li Mu reached out and said, "Give me your phone?"

Gan Hong looked at him with a puzzled expression and handed him her phone.

Li Mu found the photos of red wine and mooncakes that Yu Huanshui had taken, and approached the saleswoman: "Give us two sets of these red wines and mooncakes."

Gan Hong asked in surprise, "Why would you buy it?"

Li Mu said, "I have a general understanding of your family situation, and I can roughly guess Yu Huanshui's personality. Since the company gifts are gone, in order not to break his promise in front of you, he will probably buy some cheap red wine and mooncakes that look similar."

"Given your brother's temper, he'll definitely try to cause trouble with this. Just buy the genuine product, and when Yu Huanshui comes, replace it with the real one, and there won't be so much trouble."

Gan Hong looked at him strangely and said, "You're so kind, and you're quite considerate of Yu Huanshui?"

Li Mu hugged Gan Hong and said, "There's nothing we can do! We stole someone else's wife, so we have to compensate them. Besides, Huanshui is my little brother, so we should help him if we can."

Gan Hong rolled her eyes: "Cat tears are just a charade. Yu Huanshui actually acknowledges you as his elder brother."

Li Mu laughed and said, "What's wrong? It's not okay! His wife is taking such good care of him, what's wrong with being his older brother?"

Gan Hong glared at him: "You scoundrel!"

……

After buying the groceries and dropping Gan Hong off, he drove home. Meanwhile, Yu Huanshui finally finished cleaning and walked out of the office building with a troubled expression.

Without red wine and mooncakes, and with Gan Hong in charge of the family finances, he didn't have much money. He could only buy some cheap red wine and mooncakes to make do, hoping to get by.

However, as soon as Yu Huanshui arrived at the place, he saw Gan Hong waiting for him outside the door. He quickly went up to her and explained, "My company had a social gathering today, I'm late... I'm sorry, wife."

Gan Hong frowned, sighed softly, and handed over the two sets of mooncakes and red wine.

"Keep the company benefits for later, take this today."

Yu Huanshui glanced at what Gan Hong was holding and realized it was almost identical to the gifts his company gave to clients. In contrast, what he was holding was a complete knockoff. He was momentarily stunned.

Seeing Yu Huanshui standing there in a daze, Gan Hong glared at him: "Hurry up and take it, come inside with me, we've been waiting for you."

Yu Huanshui disregarded everything else, quickly placed the red wine and mooncakes he was carrying in the corner by the door, replaced them with the things Gan Hong was carrying, and then entered the house.

They've already taken their seats here.

Because he arrived late, Yu Huanshui quickly began to explain after taking his seat: "My company is having a social gathering tonight, and they've been dragging their feet on letting me leave. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to leave, so I've been delayed until now. I'm sorry to have kept everyone waiting so long."

Mr. Gan said, "It's nothing, just work-related socializing! It's what I should do."

Gan Hong's younger brother said with a mocking expression, "I heard that you brought some good wine, brother-in-law. Let us have a look!"

Yu Huanshui stood up awkwardly, quickly picked up a bottle of red wine, opened it and said, "Okay, okay!" He then poured wine for his father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law.

At the same time, he unconsciously started to boast: "Our company really went all out this time. They ordered wine directly from a famous French winery. This wine is worth more than two thousand, but tastes like a ten thousand."

"Come on, everyone, have a taste."

Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip. Yu Huanshui immediately asked Gan's father, "Dad, what do you think?"

Father Gan nodded: "Not bad, not bad!"

The brother-in-law clicked his tongue and questioned, "This is worth two thousand? Are you kidding me? It's not even as good as my three-thousand-yuan bottle, let alone my eight-hundred-yuan bottle."

Yu Huanshui immediately felt guilty, and Gan Hong's younger brother, seeing this, became even more excited.

"Just two thousand? What kind of unit do you have? What kind of alcohol do you give out? Are you kidding me?"

Yu Huanshui immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "How is that possible? These are all famous wines that we airlifted back from abroad."

Gan Hong's younger brother continued to ramble on, but he couldn't find any evidence.

His wife had a somewhat harsh but clever look. She handed her son the phone's QR code scanning function, whispered a few instructions in his ear, and the child immediately took the phone and ran away.

The group continued eating and drinking, with Gan Hong's younger brother occasionally making sarcastic remarks about Yu Huanshui.

However, a child's voice came: "Mom, two thousand eight hundred a bottle."

The room fell silent. Gan Hong's younger brother picked up the wine in his hand, looked at it, and muttered, "Two thousand eight is so expensive, but the taste is not up to par at all. What a rip-off."

Chapter 507 The Miserable Yu Huanshui

Gan Hong's younger brother was about to find fault again, but Gan's father glared at him and then said with a smile, "Today is a holiday, our whole family is reunited, let's eat, let's eat..."

He then added a dish for Yu Huanshui, which barely kept the atmosphere going.

After finishing their meal and tidying up briefly, Gan Hong's face hardened, and she gave Yu Huanshui a look. Yu Huanshui immediately followed her out.

"Honey, what did you call me out for?"

As Gan Hong stepped out of the house, before she could say anything, Yu Huanshui saw the red wine and mooncakes he had brought with him, still lying in the corner outside the door, and picked them up casually.

He leaned closer and said ingratiatingly, "Honey, I brought some red wine and mooncakes. This is red wine from a famous French winery. Our company specially went abroad to purchase it and shipped it back. Why don't we just leave it at Mom and Dad's house instead of taking it back?"

Gan Hong looked at him with disappointment: "Yu Huanshui, at a time like this you're still lying and not telling the truth at all?"

Yu Huanshui panicked a little: "Wife, what are you saying! How could I not be telling the truth? I told the truth."

Gan Hong sighed, knowing that no matter how much she said, without providing substantial evidence, Yu Huanshui would continue to evade the issue. She simply took out her phone, grabbed a bottle of red wine, and scanned the QR code.

The next moment, all the information about the wine was displayed: Origin: China, Price: 48 ≈ 78. Below, multiple online stores selling this wine were also shown, with prices ranging from over forty to over seventy.

He turned his phone to show Yu Huanshui: "Yu Huanshui, this is the red wine you mentioned, worth over two thousand yuan, that was air-freighted back from a famous French winery."

Yu Huanshui was stunned, his mind went blank, and looking at Gan Hong with a cold expression in front of him, he quickly explained, "Wife, I was also deceived by the company."

He then feigned indignation, saying, "How could our company be like this! They take kickbacks like crazy. They told us it was from a famous French winery, worth over two thousand yuan, but it turned out to be domestically made and only cost a few dozen yuan."

Then, looking furious, he said, "Honey, don't you think these people who did our company's purchasing are utterly despicable? I'm definitely going to report this to the company tomorrow. How could they do this!"

Gan Hong said angrily, "Yu Huanshui, can't you tell the truth?"

Yu Huanshui continued to stubbornly insist, "Wife, I'm really telling the truth."

Looking at her husband, who was spouting lies, Gan Hong took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and spoke again: "I'm asking you... tell me the truth, why did you come so late, and why didn't you answer my calls?"

Yu Huanshui was immediately at a loss. He had been cleaning and was wearing gloves, so how could he answer the phone? Of course, he couldn't say that, so he could only continue, "Honey, as I just mentioned! Our company had a party, and everyone went, so I couldn't miss it. It was so noisy and chaotic that I couldn't hear my phone ringing. I stayed there for a long time before I could get away, which is why I'm late!"

Gan Hong looked at Yu Huanshui, who was lying with a straight face. If she hadn't known beforehand, she would have been fooled by him.

"Your company really had a party?"

Yu Huanshui said, "Of course, in the end they even had a big chorus. I'm tone-deaf, but they still made me stand in the front row. I sang terribly, and it was quite embarrassing at the time."

After saying that, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Honey, you haven't been home for many days. Aren't we going back?"

Gan Hong didn't speak, but just stared at him quietly, her eyes filled with disappointment.

Yu Huanshui felt a little panicked: "Wife, what's wrong?"

Gan Hong sighed and said, "I called you several times but no one answered. I then called your company, but it was already past closing time. The people at your company told me that your boss, Mr. Wei, had sent you to clean the house. They didn't mention any social gathering at all."

Then she turned to look at Yu Huanshui and asked, "Tell me, why was you punished by your boss, Mr. Wei, to clean the house?"

When his lie was exposed, Yu Huanshui's face turned pale, and his mind went blank. After a long while, he finally managed to explain, "Wasn't I late last time? The time you made me buy milk? Well, here comes the punishment!"

Gan Hong sighed and said softly, "Is it the punishment for fabricating a customer list and fraudulently claiming wine and mooncakes?"

Yu Huanshui's mind went blank for a moment, and he felt dizzy and almost fainted. The repeated exposure of his lies made him feel embarrassed and ashamed, as if he had been stripped naked, not to mention that the person in front of him was his wife.

Gan Hong stared at him coldly, showing no intention of stopping.

"Yu Huanshui, why are you lying so much? When did you become like this? Why have you become like this?"

"Is it so hard to tell the truth? Will you die if you don't lie? What's the point of lying every day? And you're lying to your dearest wife, what are you thinking?"

Yu Huanshui lowered his head, his face full of guilt, and said, "Wife, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I was wrong. I'll do push-ups as punishment."

As he spoke, he took off his suit jacket, lay down on the ground, and started doing push-ups. This was how he always admitted his mistakes.

Gan Hong looked at him in disbelief. She had actually fallen for such a man and lived with him for so long. Did he think that doing push-ups would solve everything?

Gan Hong's goal today is to get a divorce... divorce... Today's events did make her very angry, but that's all she was angry about. She no longer cares much about what the other party says or does.

Even just now, Yu Huanshui lied multiple times, and it wasn't entirely without her deliberately leading him into a trap. Having lived together for so many years, she knew Yu Huanshui very well; he was practically a habitual liar, and it was rare to hear the truth from him.
