For two days in a row, Huang De Han did not come home.
Li Man called him, but he did not answer.
In anger, Li Man went directly to his company to find him.
"Sorry, we don't have anyone named Huang De Han working here."
Li Man was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "I'm really sorry, please help me check again, Huang De Han, his name is Huang De Han, he's worked here for many years."
The receptionist still replied: "I'm really sorry, we really don't have this person at our company."
"Thank you!"
Li Man did not persist further, and left dispiritedly.
Her mind was in turmoil. Huang De Han doesn't work here anymore? But if he had changed jobs, wouldn't he have mentioned it to her?
Just what kind of person had she been living with all these years?
What else could he be hiding from her?
The more Li Man thought about it, the more anxious she felt.
Unable to find Huang De Han, Li Man decided to look for his daughter, San'er.
Looking at the driving recorder, Li Man noticed that Huang De Han always picked up San'er from the same place. She suspected San'er worked nearby.
Li Man went to the place where Huang De Han often picked up San'er.
She sat by the window in a milk tea shop nearby, where she could clearly see the situation on the street.
This was a commercial center, with many office buildings.
Sitting in the milk tea shop, she stared at the street while sipping her drink.
From noon to afternoon, Li Man finally saw San'er elegantly walking out of the building across the street.
Li Man immediately ran out of the milk tea shop and stood in front of San'er.
Seeing Li Man, a flash of surprise passed through San'er's eyes, gone in an instant, soon regaining her composure.
Li Man stared intently at San'er. From San'er's reaction at seeing her, Li Man knew that San'er recognized her.
"Let's talk," Li Man spoke first.
San'er looked arrogant, lifting her chin slightly. "I don't know you, who are you?"
Li Man sneered coldly. "Don't pretend. Don't all mistresses know how to act?"
Anger rose on San'er's face as she yelled loudly, "What's wrong with you? Watch your mouth! Who's a mistress? Your mom is the mistress!"
Li Man looked coldly at San'er, not expecting such coarse language from someone who looked refined.
"Your name is Zhao Ya Lin, I know you live in building 12, unit 1003 of Tianze Lakefront Community. I know everything about how long you've been with Huang De Han and what you've done together. So stop pretending. There's no point in keeping up the act." Li Man looked askance at San'er, acting as if she knew everything.
San'er was instantly intimidated by Li Man, because she knew her address.
San'er's expression changed as she struggled for a bit before asking, "What do you want?"
"So you admit it?"
Fury showed on San'er's face. "Admit what? Say what you want to say. I don't have time to chit chat here with you!"
"Tell Huang De Han to bring the property ownership certificate home, otherwise I'll sue for divorce. I have evidence of you two being together. Don't think he can hide marital assets from me. I have all kinds of evidence here!" Li Man just wanted to scare them. She had to take the initiative and see how Huang De Han would react next.
Now that they had torn off all pretense, there was no need to beat around the bush anymore.
Just then, a car stopped beside them.
Huang De Han quickly got out and upon seeing Li Man, a flash of surprise passed through his eyes. He immediately shielded San'er behind him and warily asked, "How did you get here? What are you trying to do to her?"
Although she was mentally prepared, seeing the man she had loved for sixteen years protecting another woman still made Li Man's heart ache uncontrollably.
"What could I do to her? If you care so much about her, why didn't you just tell me earlier? I'm not an unreasonable person. If you want to be together, I'll let you be. Why go behind my back like this? What's the point?" Li Man said coldly.
