“You! How can you speak like that! Do you think a woman will joke about her reputation!” Xu Ju said.

“Who knows what you’re capable of! If you don’t have any other evidence, I’m going to the police station to report you for defamation!” Xia He said.

Shi Rui, who had been kneeling on the floor, suddenly said, “We  It happened in the office! That day, many people saw it  saw me  saw me running out of Xia Wen’s office looking disheveled and half-dressed ”

The colleagues who were watching the commotion tried to recall carefully if such a thing had happened. One of the female colleagues came forward and said, “There’s no such thing! The door to Mr. Xia’s office is usually left open. We can see everything that happens in the room! You’re spouting nonsense!”

“I’m not spouting nonsense! If you don’t believe me, ask the others! So many people saw it! After that, Xia Wen gave me a ride one night! He brought me to a hotel! Then  then he did that to me there!” Shi Rui said.

Xia Wen smiled mockingly. He did not expect Shi Rui to be able to say such shameless things in public just so that she could marry him. If not for the fact that he had always been an upright person, which meant that everyone would doubt what Shi Rui said at the first instance, he would probably be facing the police now!

Although the country was slowly opening up and society was becoming more liberal, people were still quite conservative, particularly about the relationship between a man and a woman. If a man touched a woman’s hand for no reason, he could be accused of taking liberties with a woman! He could be arrested and sent to jail!

Given Xia Wen’s status, if he was embroiled in such a scandal, all the Xia family members would be reprimanded and berated by the public. It would become difficult for any single girl in the family to get married in the future.

“You mentioned a hotel. Then tell me which hotel it is and the room number?” Qiao Mei asked.

In the past, some guest houses did not require the guests to provide any information on identity and would check them in as long as they paid for the rooms. Now, all guest houses and hotels had to ask the guests for information on their identities. They could not check the guests in without doing proper registration.

“It happened at Wendong Hotel!” Shi Rui said.

Qiao Mei squatted down slowly and looked straight at Shi Rui as she said, “Wendong Hotel is more than 20 kilometers away from here and it takes 40 minutes to get there by car. Its distance from our house is about 15 kilometers. Why do you have to travel so far to do this thing?”

“If you don’t believe me, go and ask the security officers at Wendong Hotel! Ask them if they’ve seen us before! You can even find a copy of our room registration there!” Shi Rui said smugly.

Qiao Mei looked at Xia Wen and he said, “That day, I did go to Wendong Hotel with her. There’s an experimental project on the west side of the city and I had to go and do an inspection. The office arranged for Shi Rui to go with me. After dinner, we returned to Wendong Hotel to rest. We each had our own room and the front desk’s records will reflect that information.”

“Who knows if you had gone to Shi Rui’s room later! Even if the front desk has the records, they won’t have monitored your movements!” Xu Ju shouted.

“Was there anyone else on that trip?” Xia He asked.

“No. It’s just her and me,” Xia Wen said resignedly. He had believed that Shi Rui was still a decent person and would not slander him at all costs like what she was doing now. At this moment, she did not even care about her own reputation and dignity.

“Hmph! You can’t deny it now! We have a witness and the evidence! Let’s see if you still have any other excuses!” Xu Ju said smugly.

The colleagues around them also began to waver. They were no longer sure if Xia Wen had done this dirty deed or not.

“Hey! Do you think this is true? Would Mr. Xia do such a thing?”

“You can’t judge a book by its cover! Who knows what kind of person Mr. Xia really is!”

“I really pity Sister Mo Zhu. She’s such a nice woman but she married such a disgusting man. Sister Mo Zhu even has to encounter such a thing just as she is about to give birth.”

Everyone had different opinions. Some people continued to believe in Xia Wen, while others started to insult him. They even started to fabricate rumors to slander Xia Wen, trying to drag him down from his position.

Qiao Mei looked at Shi Rui and Xu Ju and said, “Fine. Since you’re so sure, then let’s go and do a paternity test.”

“A paternity test? Don’t tell me you want to do a blood test! The child isn’t even born yet, so what kind of test can you do!” Xu Ju questioned.
