Wang Ke frowned slightly, his face full of fear...

A moment later, the hysterical roar of his wife came from the other end of the phone:

"Great! Wang Ke, you're really brave. You lie so easily! I didn't believe others when they said you were having an affair. I always thought you couldn't be that kind of person... It's so ironic. I must have been blind!"

"Wife, listen to my explanation. It's not what you think..."

Wang Ke was panicked for a moment.

"What explanation do you need? Do you think I've wronged you? Or am I just being unreasonable? Are you still a man? You did something filthy and you're afraid to admit it. Okay, you still want to argue, right? Then I'll send you the evidence!"

evidence? What evidence?

Wang Ke looked bewildered...

A few seconds later, a message popped up on his phone screen.

It was a MMS. The moment Wang Ke clicked on the picture, he was completely dumbfounded.

In the photo, Sun Xue fell limply in his arms.

He suddenly remembered that the background of the photo was not in the hotel. He was about to take Sun Xue downstairs when she suddenly felt dizzy. He quickly supported her.

How could his wife have such a photo?

"Have you seen the evidence?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was icy cold without any warmth.

"Wife, you misunderstood. It's not what you think..."

Wang Ke's wife's emotions instantly broke down, and she asked with a choked voice:

"Wang Ke, why did you do this to me? So you took advantage of your busy work schedule to stay home just to have a tryst with that woman, right? You went to great lengths to deceive me, selling stocks, emptying our family fortune, and transferring all our assets to that woman. You planned all of this in advance, right? Why are you so vicious?"

"Wife, we were just...really talking about work..."

Wang Ke’s wife quipped, “Talking about work? Talking about sex?”

"It's not what you think..." Wang Ke was speechless and didn't know where to start.

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, he seemed to have made a great decision and spoke in a serious tone:

"Okay, I'll grant your wish, but you have to leave the house, give me your savings, and let me keep our son. We'll each have one apartment. I think you should be satisfied now."

Wang Ke's face suddenly changed when he heard this, "Wife, listen to me..."

Before he could finish his words, his wife decisively hung up the phone.

Sun Xue recognized that it was Wang Ke’s wife calling, and vaguely felt that it was related to her. She was confused about what exactly had happened.

However, judging by Wang Ke's expression, things are getting pretty serious...

She asked cautiously, "Mr. Wang, is this my sister-in-law calling? What happened?"

Wang Ke looked like an eggplant hit by frost, and his voice was weak:

"Boss Sun, this is a huge misunderstanding. I can't clear it up even if I jump into the Yellow River!"

"Look, this is the photo she just sent me..."

Wang Ke opened his phone and clicked on the picture to show Sun Xue.

Sun Xue glanced at the photo on Wang Ke's phone and exclaimed:

"Isn't this the photo of you helping me up when I came out of your room that night because I was dizzy? Who sent it to your sister-in-law? Didn't you give her any explanation?"

Wang Ke looked frustrated. "I don't know who sent this to my wife yet, but I'm sure someone is trying to frame us. She won't listen to my explanation at all..."

Wang Ke's eyes were filled with despair. "Do you know who called you just now?"

Sun Xue suddenly reacted, her face filled with astonishment:

"Could it be...my sister-in-law calling?"

Wang Ke nodded in agreement. "She asked me if I was with you, and I was afraid she would misunderstand, so I lied to her and said I wasn't with you..."

Sun Xue was so anxious when she heard this, "Why did you lie to me? Just tell me the truth and say we were discussing work together. Now... there's a huge misunderstanding."

Wang Ke hung his head and said nothing...

"I'll call my sister-in-law right away to explain."

Sun Xue took out her cell phone, but was stopped by Wang Ke.

"Mr. Sun, forget it, please stop hitting her. She's furious right now, and your explanations will only make things worse..."

"Then what should we do? If we don't explain, the misunderstanding will only get worse."

Wang Ke said in a low voice, "It's okay, I'll explain it to her later."

Sun Xue pondered what had just happened, and suddenly remembered something and asked:

"Mr. Wang, could it be that Wang Xin sent the photo to his sister-in-law?"

"I suspect it too. No one else would do such a wicked thing except him. I suspect he was secretly following us, then checked the hotel surveillance footage, accidentally discovered this scene, and then took a screenshot and sent it to my wife, in order to frame me..."

"Even when we were on a business trip to Gaozhou City, he must have known everything clearly."

After hearing what Wang Ke said, Sun Xue felt a chill on her back, as if there were a pair of eyes secretly watching her and Wang Ke from behind...

Originally, she and Wang Ke were just superiors and subordinates, and at best ordinary friends, but now, things seem to have become complicated.

In the photo, she fell in Wang Ke's arms. Wang Ke lied and said they were not together, but she answered Wang Ke's wife's phone call beside him...

Thinking about it this way, she couldn't explain it even if she had ten mouths!

The two were originally in a good mood because of the acquisition of Boss Pan's project, but because of a phone call from Wang Ke's wife, their good mood disappeared in an instant, and both of them fell into an awkward situation.

"This is all my fault. If I hadn't drunk that night, such a thing wouldn't have happened. If I hadn't answered my sister-in-law's call just now, there wouldn't have been any misunderstanding..." Sun Xue kept blaming herself.

"Mr. Sun, this is not your fault. Don't worry too much. I will take care of it. You should also go to bed early."

Sun Xue could hear the helplessness in Wang Ke's tone. He wanted to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know how.

Back in the room, Sun Xue was very worried. She didn't understand Wang Ke's wife's character, but she knew that she must be very angry at the moment.

The next morning.

She met Wang Ke in the hotel restaurant.

"Good morning, Mr. Sun."

"Good morning, Mr. Wang. Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

Sun Xue stared at Wang Ke's two big dark circles under his eyes and asked with concern.

"No, I slept well." Wang Ke forced a smile.

Wang Ke was in a very bad mental state, with a trace of sadness in the corner of his eyes. He sat across from Sun Xue, nibbling on a piece of corn without paying attention, and yawning from time to time...

Sun Xue knew from his appearance that he must have stayed up all night.

Less than ten minutes after breakfast, Boss Pan arrived, exhausted.

As soon as they met, Boss Pan noticed something was wrong with Wang Ke and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Wang, did you not get enough rest last night?"

Wang Ke smiled and said, "I forgot to close the window when I went to bed last night, and I was woken up by mosquito bites in the middle of the night. Then I got up and swatted the mosquitoes for half the night..."
