158: Chapter 158 A Complete Mess

She then walked quickly toward the back of the courtyard.

In the backyard, two women were incessantly pulling at each other.

One of them, dressed in a proper outfit and slightly older, was likely The CEO's wife.

The other, wearing a silk camisole nightdress with curly hair draped over her shoulders, looked young and seductive; she must be The Mistress.

At this moment, the two were cursing while pulling each other's hair.

Seeing this, Su Xiumei rushed forward.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting! Both of you are people of status, look at how this looks!"

Su Xiumei pretended to be anxious as she tried to break up the fight, but in reality, she didn't even touch them.

Her main goal was simply to watch the drama up close.

Others who had rushed over saw this scene and couldn't help but give Su Xiumei a thumbs up.

Even Lin Xiao, who was on the wall, praised his mother for being clever.

However, seeing the two women pulling at each other, they actually seemed to be slowing down thanks to Su Xiumei's intervention.

"I can let it slide today, but you must give me an explanation!"

The CEO's wife said angrily with her hands on her hips.

Wait, let it slide?

That won't do!

The good show hasn't even started yet; it can't end so quickly!

Lin Xiao kept blinking his eyes, trying to signal the crowd in the courtyard.

[The delivery box over there! Hurry up and open that box!]

[It'll be too late once people leave!]

The box?

At this moment, someone finally turned to look at Lin Xiao.

They saw him winking and making faces at a large delivery box piled in the corner.

After realizing what he meant, a few people exchanged glances.

In the end, it was Su Xiumei and Lin Ran who became the ones to open this "Pandora's box."

Su Xiumei stepped between the two women first, looking like she was about to lecture them.

"Look at you both, fighting until you're disheveled, what does this look like!"

"Excuse the mess."

The CEO's wife naturally knew Su Xiumei, so even if she was unhappy, she had to give her some face.

But The Mistress was different.

She had come from a place of ill-repute, and after hooking up with a big boss, she felt arrogant and looked down on everyone equally.

She especially felt that these rich wives were old and useless; besides having some money from their families, they weren't even as good as women like her who used their bodies to climb the social ladder!

Hearing Su Xiumei's advice, she waved her hand impatiently, "Stop talking, so annoying! This is my house, it's not your place as an outsider to meddle!"

"Oh!"

Su Xiumei took advantage of the moment she waved her hand and leaned backward.

"Mom!"

Lin Ran pretended to be quick-witted and rushed to support Su Xiumei.

If Zhang Xiaofu were here, he would definitely exclaim.

So, the art of faking an injury is hereditary!

Lin Ran fell backward with Su Xiumei, and in the process, they crushed one corner of the large box, collapsing half of it.

The Mistress was also stunned, "Hey, hey, I didn't even touch you..."

But before she could finish, a scream rang out.

The person who had been hiding in the box was curled up and off-balance.

With the box supporting him now twisted, the person tumbled right out.

Seeing this person suddenly appear, everyone was shocked.

Even The Lin Family, who had long known someone was hiding there, stood with their mouths agape, unable to make a sound for a long time.

Because...

This was actually a man!

And a man at that—bare-chested, with only a bath towel loosely wrapped around his lower body!

Wait, what happened to the six mistresses we were promised?

Wait, Lin Xiao's inner voice seemed to only say that six people were hidden, not that they were The CEO's six mistresses.

They had fallen into their habitual way of thinking and made a premature assumption.

"Wait, who the hell are you?"

The CEO's wife demanded loudly.

The man scrambled up in a panic, looking at The Mistress with a guilty expression.

The Mistress's eyes were full of disgust, as if she were ready to give up and let everything fall apart.

Everyone present wasn't stupid; they could basically see the secret affair between the two.

At the same time, they cast sympathetic looks at The CEO, who had been standing on the sidelines, intending to stay out of the trouble.

If it were just two women fighting for his affection, he certainly wouldn't care.

Anyway, no matter how hard they fought, he wouldn't be the one losing out.

He couldn't replace his wife, and there were plenty of mistresses.

But the man who had just appeared completely shattered his thoughts.

"Who are you?"

The CEO walked up to the man and subconsciously wanted to lift his hand to grab the man's collar.

However, the man wasn't wearing any clothes, so grabbing him directly seemed a bit strange.

His hand froze in mid-air for a long time, and he could only pull it back.

To cover up the awkwardness, he turned to look at The Mistress, "Come on, explain to me, who is this man? Why is he in the house I gave you?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, The Mistress curled her lip, "What? You can go around looking for mistresses, but I can't?"

"You..."

The CEO was trembling with rage and raised his hand, wanting to slap The Mistress.

But looking at that delicate, charming face and thinking of the warm intimacy they once shared, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

His hand froze in the air again for a long time, and he still could only slowly pull it back.

"Fine, fine, fine! I won't hit you, but I want you to watch me beat him to death!"

Saying this, The CEO walked quickly to the courtyard wall, grabbed a wooden stick, and rushed toward the naked man.

Under normal circumstances, this Adulterer Number One, relying on his youth and good physique, could have easily defeated The CEO.

However, since The CEO was now armed, the two were actually evenly matched for a moment!

Seeing this scene, The CEO's wife actually laughed.

"Oh my, I'm telling you, at your age, you'd better be careful. You're already not very capable; don't throw out your back, or you'll have trouble even getting into bed later!"

"Shut up!"

The CEO was panting, his face flushed red.

"I want to say it, so what? I think you're just reaping what you sowed..."

The CEO's wife wanted to continue mocking him, but before she could finish, The Mistress rushed up again and grabbed her by the hair!

"It's all your fault, you old woman! If you hadn't come here to cause trouble, Brother Yang and I wouldn't have been discovered! It's all your fault!"

Seeing her lover being beaten, The Mistress was so angry her eyes turned red.

But she didn't dare to get involved in the fight between the two men, so she had to take it out on this older woman.

For a moment, the courtyard was a total mess.

However, The Lin Family wasn't paying attention to these four people.

They were already impatient to find the remaining five people.
