While Zhao Mengmeng and Ding Ding were pressing Qiao Ran for why she had a whirlwind marriage with Qi Muci, Qi Muci received a call from his brother.

Qi Mu'an invited him to a bar for a drink.

Qi Muci noticed his brother's low spirits and guessed it was related to Xu Weiyan, so he turned around and went to the bar.

When he arrived at the bar, he saw Qi Mu'an sitting alone in a corner drinking.

Qi Mu'an felt a little apologetic when he saw him. "Won't your wife be angry that I called you out on a day like this?"

Qi Muci retorted irritably, "Since you knew that, why did you contact me in the first place?"

Qi Mu'an paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, you should go back and keep your sister-in-law company. Don't worry about me, I'll have the driver pick me up later."

Qi Muci: "Since you're already here, I'll have a couple of drinks with you before I leave, but I'll only drink lemonade."

Qi Muci waved to the waiter and said, "A glass of lemonade, no sugar."

After the waiter left, Qi Muci turned to Qi Mu'an and asked, "Tell me, why did your sister-in-law leave so suddenly? Does she have a problem with my wife? She doesn't seem to like my wife very much."

Qi Mu'an denied it, "No, how could that be? I was the one who yelled at her."

Qi Muci pressed further, "Then why were you so harsh with her?"

Qi Mu'an choked.

Qi Muci: "You're not the kind of person who loses your temper easily, and you certainly wouldn't lose your temper with your wife so there must be a reason. If I'm not mistaken, that reason is my wife."

Qi Mu'an: "Okay, you're right. It's because of your wife. You know, my wife is an educated person. She has always looked down on people in the entertainment industry and thinks that actors are not cultured."

Qi Muci sneered, "So, she used our family's money to go to school and developed a sense of superiority? If she came from a scholarly family, I could understand, but aren't her parents illiterate farmers?"

Qi Mu'an was speechless.

The waiter brought over some lemonade, and Qi Muci took a sip. "You didn't come here to drown your sorrows for this reason, did you?"

Qi Mu'an paused for a moment, took a sip of wine, and said in frustration, "I can't get in touch with her. She didn't go home. I called her, but her phone was off, and she didn't reply to my messages."

"It's not the first or second time you've been unable to contact her. She'll contact you naturally when she needs money in a few days," Qi Muci said, not surprised at all. This behavior was very much in line with Xu Weiyan's.

"Mu Ci, I think she's seeing someone else," Qi Mu'an said, as if he had mustered up a great deal of courage.

Qi Muci raised an eyebrow and asked casually, "What did you find out? Did you have someone investigate?"

Qi Mu'an: "I didn't find anything. She has been living at the school for the past two years. We only see each other twice a month. When we do meet, it's at a restaurant or coffee shop. We haven't had marital relations for two years."

Qi Muci: "Have you been to her school dormitory?"

Qi Mu'an: "She wouldn't let me go. She said the school wouldn't allow it, and she didn't want to break the school's rules and regulations."

Qi Muci paused for a moment, then asked, "What advice do you want me to give you? You are the chairman of a listed group, you should know that in court, speculation cannot be used as evidence."

Qi Mu'an: "I..."

Qi Muci: "Actually, you know the outcome, but you don't want to face it, right?"

Qi Mu'an: "She is my first love, and the only woman I have ever loved in my life. I don't want to lose her."

Qi Muci: "You've already lost her, haven't you? What kind of couple are you two like now? Brother, stop deceiving yourself. It's better to end it now than to suffer for a long time. I'll have Peng Ze investigate. You don't need to worry about anything."

Qi Mu'an clutched his head in anguish, "Did it really have to come to this?"

Qi Muci felt a slight pang of pain in his heart. "I know you are in a lot of pain right now, but as your younger brother, I can't just watch you sink into despair. You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders. Think about the artists under Xingyun."

"Brother, you can be a devoted person, but your devotion should be for someone who is worth your sacrifice, not for a woman who betrays you. You may not like to hear this, and you can also defend your sister-in-law."

"Let's stop speculating for now and wait for the investigation results. If your sister-in-law really betrayed you, we'll know the answer soon. I'm going to call Peng Ze."

Qi Muci left his seat and went out through the back door of the bar to call his agent.

Peng Ze answered quickly, "Brother Qi, what can I do for you? Are you satisfied with the new house's decor? Is there anything else I need to add?"

Qi Muci: "I haven't gone home yet. Ranran went to Mengmeng's place tonight. I'm at the bar drinking with my older brother. There's something very important that you need to do right away."

Peng Ze: "Brother Qi, please speak."

Qi Muci: "Find a trustworthy paparazzi and have him investigate my sister-in-law, Xu Weiyan. My brother suspects she's having an affair. I need photos or videos, and it would be even better if I could get her spending records."

Peng Ze: "Okay, Brother Qi, I'll get on it right away and try to give Chairman Qi the investigation results within three days."

Qi Muci: "Okay, send me a message with the amount you need and I'll transfer it to you."

Peng Ze: "Okay, Brother Qi."

Qi Muci hung up the phone and sat down next to Qi Mu'an. "Alright, let's wait for the results. If it's really as you guessed, what are you going to do? Get a divorce?"

Qi Mu'an was stunned, and after a long while, he finally uttered a sentence: "I don't know."

Qi Muci knew that his elder brother was easily influenced, but if Xu Weiyan really betrayed Qi Mu'an, then it wouldn't just be a matter between the two of them. At that time, the elders of the Qi family would definitely not sit idly by.

Qi Muci took a sip of lemonade. "Prepare for a divorce. It's simple once you sign the divorce agreement, but will Xu Weiyan be willing to give up your cash cow?"

"Over the years, you've not only supported her, but also her parents and younger siblings. If she doesn't agree to a divorce, what are you going to do? File for divorce?"

Qi Mu'an looked conflicted and pained. "Please don't ask anymore. I really don't know."

Qiao Ran had just finished showering and was getting ready for bed when the doorbell rang.

Ding Ding and Zhao Mengmeng immediately became alert.

Zhao Mengmeng: "Who would come over so late? Could it be that scumbag Lin Mengchuan again?"

Ding Ding held Qiao Ran down, "Don't move, Mengmeng and I will go take a look."

The two men dramatically grabbed a golf club each and reached to open the door, only to be stunned.

Zhao Mengmeng cried out in a trembling voice, "Chairman Qi! Brother Qi!"

Qi Muci dragged his brother, who was completely drunk, and said, "I'm sorry, Mengmeng, could we stay in your living room for the night? My brother is too drunk, I don't know the door lock code, and I don't know how to take care of a drunk person."

Zhao Mengmeng's lips twitched. They wouldn't take care of someone who was drunk.

Ding Ding winked at Zhao Mengmeng, "This is the boss, your sugar daddy!" "Brother Qi, please come in. It's alright, we'll help you take care of Chairman Qi. Come in first."

Qiao Ran came out and was surprised to see Qi Mu'an's appearance. She asked Qi Muci, "How did you get so drunk, brother?"

Qi Muci: "He's in a bad mood."

Qiao Ran: "Let your brother lie on the sofa. I'll go make him a cup of honey water. Did you drink alcohol too?"

Qi Muci: "I didn't drink alcohol, I drank lemon water. Just make some for my older brother."

"Okay," Qiao Ran turned and went to the kitchen to make honey water, while Qi Muci dragged Qi Mu'an to the sofa.

Ding Ding pulled Zhao Mengmeng aside and whispered, "Your chance to shine has come. Whether you can get the lead role in the next drama depends on tonight."
