How did I marry into a wealthy family during my second marriage?

The person Xu Weitang arranged relayed the words of the case officer to her word for word. Anyone with such great power in Jiangzhou was probably related to Madam Qiu.

That afternoon, she drove to Mrs. Qiu's villa and rang the doorbell.

In the living room, Mrs. Qiu was arranging flowers. The servant stood in front of the video doorbell and asked about Xu Weitang's identity.

"I'm Xu Weitang, here to see Mrs. Qiu."

Mrs. Qiu, who was pruning flower branches, learned that Xu Weitang had arrived. She put the daisies she had just pruned into the vase, put down the scissors, and told the servants, "Put these away."

Xu Weitang entered the yard and someone led her into the living room.

Mrs. Qiu was wearing a loose black long dress and sitting on the sofa, holding a teacup with an elegant posture.

She seemed not to notice Xu Weitang and was just sipping her tea.

"Madam, Miss Xu is here."

Mrs. Qiu didn't look up. She put down the teacup in her hand and said, "I haven't bothered Lawyer Shi for a while. You shouldn't come to see me."

"Mrs. Qiu grew up in Beijing. I was not like me, who was born and raised in Jiangzhou, a small city with limited knowledge. I came to see you today because I have something I want to consult you on."

Mrs. Qiu did not let Xu Weitang sit down, but Xu Weitang did not feel awkward at all. She sat down on the sofa opposite Mrs. Qiu.

Mrs. Qiu saw this and looked worried. "What do you want to ask?"

"Guests are welcome. Mrs. Qiu's hospitality is not very good." Xu Weitang crossed his legs and looked around the living room.

"You are an uninvited guest. I didn't ask the servants to kick you out. This is my greatest kindness to you."

"Hearing what Mrs. Qiu said, I won't have any tea or coffee to drink today." Xu Weitang had a habitual smile on his face.

"Auntie Wu, make her a cup of tea."

Mrs. Qiu had a good family background and was pampered by everyone since she was born. Normally, if she frowned, people around her would become cautious, for fear of angering her.

Few people were like Xu Weitang, who didn't pay any attention to her expression. Mrs. Qiu couldn't help but look at her twice.

Xu Weitang touched his face and asked, "Is there something dirty on my face?"

Mrs. Qiu didn't say anything.

Xu Weitang took out a small mirror from her bag and looked at her face. "It was Mrs. Qiu who thought I was pretty and was bewitched by my beauty."

Mrs. Qiu: ...

"My face has been attracting bees and butterflies since I was a child."

Xu Weitang's face was cold and beautiful, and her beauty was aggressive. Mrs. Qiu had seen many beauties, but few could be compared with Xu Weitang.

She is not good at lying, "Beauty is the least noteworthy quality in a woman."

"I also think that beauty is the least noteworthy quality in me."

Mrs. Qiu: ...

She was misinterpreting her meaning.

"Are you here today to show off your assets to me?"

Mrs. Qiu had a brief understanding of Xu Weitang. She was outgoing and capable. Few men could control a woman like her.

Shi Yan was successful in his career and needed a good wife who could take care of his life. She didn't think highly of them. Xu Weitang's remarks just now made Mrs. Qiu look down on her even more.

"What I have, Madam Qiu also has. What I don't have, Madam Qiu also has. Compared with Madam Qiu, I am just lucky enough to meet Shi Yan first."

Mrs. Qiu was a little confused by Xu Weitang's sudden humble words. She didn't know what she was up to. "Since you know this, why do you have to humiliate yourself by saying this in front of me?"

"Just chatting."

"You are so young, yet you speak in a roundabout way and have so many twists and turns in your mind. It must be very difficult for him to get along with you."

"He and I are so in tune with each other. No matter how many twists and turns I have in my mind, he can see through it at a glance."

Is Xu Weitang showing off his affection?

Mrs. Qiu really wanted to kick him out.

"I came to see Mrs. Qiu today to ask about issues related to the construction of the bridge." Seeing that Mrs. Qiu's face was getting increasingly ugly, Xu Weitang stopped talking about other things.

"I haven't studied architecture, so I don't know much. You need to ask professionals for advice on relevant issues."

"Mrs. Qiu once worked with Mr. Qiu to build the Hull Bridge. The report said that during the construction of the bridge, you and Mr. Qiu lived and ate in the temporary dormitory built by the project department."

"That's true." Recalling the little things she had experienced with her husband, Mrs. Qiu's face improved a little. "He was in charge of building the bridge. I didn't participate, so I can't help you."

"Mrs. Qiu may not be able to help me with professional issues, but you should still remember the precautions for building a bridge."

"As the project leader, you should be familiar with the precautions for building the bridge. Do you need me to explain it to you in detail?"

"Quality must be ensured first when building a bridge." Xu Weitang stared at Mrs. Qiu with a sharp gaze. "To be honest, someone mixed a batch of Q235 steel into the bridge construction materials a while ago. If the workers did not find this mixed batch of steel during the operation, I don't know what the consequences would be."

"That was a mistake you made at work. The consequences should be borne by..." Mrs. Qiu said this, and then she thought of something. She was angry and said, "Do you suspect that I did it?"

"Mrs. Qiu said this herself."

"Building a bridge is a big deal! How could I mess with something like this!" Mrs. Qiu was angry. "Call the police and let them get to the bottom of it."

"I have called the police a long time ago. If my superiors hadn't pressured me not to continue the investigation, I wouldn't have come to see Mrs. Qiu." Having said that, Xu Weitang simply spoke out.

"Do you think I'm putting pressure on the investigators?"

Xu Weitang agreed.

Mrs. Qiu was so angry that she laughed, "You go back first, I will give you an explanation for this matter."

"I feel relieved with what Mrs. Qiu said." Xu Weitang stood up and prepared to leave.

The doorbell of the villa rang and the servant asked the visitor's name.

"Madam, lawyer Shi Yanshi wants to see you."

Hearing this, Xu Weitang raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself, Mrs. Qiu didn't go to find him, but he took the initiative to come to her door. He pretended to be a chaste and loyal husband before, and even used her as a shield. What a scheming boy!

Mrs. Qiu glanced at Xu Weitang and said, "Let him in."

"Can I use the restroom?" Xu Weitang, who was about to leave, changed his mind.

The servant got Mrs. Qiu's permission and took Xu Weitang to the bathroom.

Two minutes later, Shi Yan was led to the living room by the servant. After he entered the living room, he quickly looked around the living room.

Mrs. Qiu noticed his actions and wanted to tell him that Xu Weitang went to the bathroom.

He apologized to Mrs. Qiu, "She has a reckless and impatient personality and speaks bluntly. Please forgive me if I have offended Mrs. Qiu."

Xu Weitang speaks directly? She has eight hundred tricks, okay?

Love is fascinating...Mrs. Qiu didn't want to talk to him and pointed in the direction of the bathroom.
