"Why did you lie to me?"

Zhongshan Taka asked, his eyes red, enunciating each word.

"What... what are you talking about?" Zhongshan Runmei frowned, noticing something was off with him, and reached out to pull him, "Let's go inside and talk about whatever it is."

"Don't touch me!" Zhongshan Taka jerked his hand away from his mother and hissed, "Mom, why did you help Hashimoto Youko deceive me? Why? Why!"

The betrayal from Hashimoto Youko was bad enough, but deception from his own mother cut him to the core, beyond his comprehension.

"You... you know everything." Zhongshan Runmei's face changed color suddenly, not yet aware of the full extent of the blow her son had just suffered, believing he found out about the ploy using Hashimoto Youko to seduce Aoyama Xiu Xin.

"So you knew all along, you've been in cahoots with that slut Hashimoto Youko to deceive me." Listening to his mother's confession, Zhongshan Taka's last glimmer of hope shattered, his face displaying disbelief, tears brimming as he demanded, "You are my mother! Why!"

Zhongshan Runmei was displeased upon hearing her son insult Hashimoto Youko. After all, Hashimoto Youko had taken it upon herself to seduce Aoyama Xiu Xin for her sake, and she hadn't actually had any physical affair with Aoyama Xiu Xin.

"Taka, you are my son, isn't your mental resilience a bit too weak to feel so insulted over such a trifle? Do you have any idea how hard it is for Yangzi?" Zhongshan Runmei defended her daughter-in-law.

"Hahaha!" Zhongshan Taka laughed bitterly, his eyes nearly bursting with rage, "How strong does one's mental resilience need to be to remain untroubled at the sight of his fiancée stripped to her stockings and together with another man? I don't have a cuckold fetish, should I be excited rather than angry? Should I praise her instead of cursing that slut for adultery?"

"What!" Zhongshan Runmei was shocked, realizing something had gone awry, and hastily questioning, "Taka, what are you talking about? Did Yangzi really sleep with Aoyama Xiu Xin?"

"They didn't go to bed, they did it on the table, right on top of it! She was devoured by Aoyama Xiu Xin like a gourmet dish." Zhongshan Taka spoke in agony.

Zhongshan Runmei swayed as if struck by lightning, nearly toppling over but fortunately steadying herself on the door frame, now understanding why her eldest son was so enraged, her face a picture of disbelief, "How could this happen, how could she do something so wrong to you, how could Yangzi do that?"

"Mom, you helped her hide it from me, giving her time to meet with Aoyama Xiu Xin in private, and you still don't see what's been happening?" Zhongshan Taka mocked with a cold laugh.

"No! It's not like that!" Zhongshan Runmei hastily denied, grabbing her son's hand as she defended herself, "I only asked her to seduce Aoyama Xiu Xin, I never told her to sleep with him."

"Is there a difference?" Zhongshan Taka retorted, but he also realized from his mother's reaction that there was more to the story, "Mom, what's going on? With such a big cuckold's cap on my head, I deserve to know the truth!"

"Sigh." Zhongshan Runmei released her son, sighing bitterly, "I lied to you, the work I've been doing in Hokkaido these past two months hasn't been going well. Aoyama Xiu Xin and the local bureaucrats have sidelined me. I have the title of Minister in name only, not in reality, like a deity placed on a pedestal, my orders can't even leave the police headquarters."

Hearing this, Zhongshan Taka was incredulous and outraged. Aoyama Xiu Xin had usurped his mother's authority. That meant Aoyama must have investigated his mother's background; how could he not recognize him? Not know about Hashimoto Youko's fiancé?

It was an act! The encounter at the club was not a coincidence; he was pretending not to know him…

Thinking of Aoyama Xiu Xin in the private room he had meticulously prepared for his fiancée, with the gift he had carefully chosen, sleeping with his fiancée, made him feel excruciating pain in his heart, a tightness in his chest, struggling to breathe.

Zhongshan Runmei's narration continued.

"Of course, I wouldn't just sit by and do nothing, I've been seeking ways to struggle. A clear weakness of Aoyama Xiu Xin is his lechery, so I thought to use a beauty trap, place a spy by his side to gather evidence of his illegal activities to strike him. Yangzi, out of filial piety and wanting to alleviate my worries, volunteered to seduce Aoyama Xiu Xin..."

"Why would you let her go!" Zhongshan Taka exploded upon hearing this, adding, "And how could Aoyama Xiu Xin not know about Yangzi having a fiancé? Sending Yangzi, he would have definitely guessed it was a beauty trap."

"At first I disagreed too, but what kind of woman hasn't Aoyama Xiu Xin been with? I couldn't find anyone more suitable or beautiful than Yangzi, and she insisted on going, vowing not to let Aoyama Xiu Xin succeed." Zhongshan Runmei paused for a moment, her voice lowering, "Besides, Aoyama Xiu Xin likes married women, so Yangzi having a fiancé actually played in our favor. Moreover, I didn't let Yangzi actively seduce him; I made him pursue Yangzi."

"But he had seen through all of this long ago, violated Yangzi, and humiliated me!" Zhongshan Taka now understood everything. Tonight had been Aoyama Xiu Xin's deliberate design after seeing through the beauty trap.

His mother not only shot herself in the foot, she also harmed him and Hashimoto Youko.

At this moment, a car came speeding over, screeching to a halt. The door opened, and Hashimoto Youko scrambled out, panic-stricken, "Taka, listen to my explanation…"

As she ran, her full breasts nearly bounced out several times, the raw red finger marks on them stark against her pale skin.
