When my mother-in-law heard the other voice, she clearly panicked.

"Jun, Junzi? Mom... Mom was just joking with your wife, why did you take it seriously..."

Before my mother-in-law could continue explaining, Zhou Jun hung up the call, his face flushed with embarrassment as he apologized to me.

"Jiaojiao, I'm sorry, I didn't expect her to do such a thing. We'll hire a nanny later, and I'll have them sent back to the countryside!"

Zhou Jun's stance reassured me, giving me a sense of relief.

Regardless of his parents' actions, I was married to Zhou Jun, and he was the one I would spend my life with.

As long as he stood by my side, there was no obstacle we couldn't overcome.

This was also one of the reasons why I never truly lost my temper despite the repeated mischief from my in-laws.

I buried my head in Zhou Jun's arms and said, "I didn't marry the wrong person after all."

After a moment of intimacy, we went to find Lili together, first to retrieve the phone, and then to inquire about the truth of the incident.

"I really don't understand, what benefit does she gain from tarnishing her own reputation to frame you?"

Upon hearing my question, Zhou Jun coldly chuckled, "What reputation? Everyone in the company knows she used to accompany drinking, and even had an abortion sponsored by the boss."

With that, I understood. I had met Zhou Jun's company boss before, a greasy middle-aged man with a family.

Lili's ability to remain calm and composed in such a situation showed just how thick-skinned she was.

Sure enough, when we met Lili together, she was wearing a tight-fitting dress that accentuated her figure.

She was posing alluringly by the door.

Upon seeing me, her seductive gaze twitched a bit.

"Oh, have you given birth already?" Given the situation, it was hard not to make a sarcastic remark.

"I don't understand what you're saying, sister-in-law," Lili replied, feigning ignorance.

Seeing that she had been exposed, Lili straightened her posture, pretending to know nothing and denying everything.

If she hadn't maintained that seductive posture, I might have let it go if I were in a good mood.

But now, I took out my phone and played the recording, watching her reaction with a smile.

By the time the recording reached the part where it said, "We never left the city," Lili's embarrassment was evident.

"What's the point of ruining your own reputation to frame me? It's not like I have anything to do with your family issues. It's just because you don't get along with your mother-in-law, isn't it?"

Confidently, Lili finished speaking to me and turned to Zhou Jun.

"Brother Zhou, if I didn't know your old man and didn't fancy you, do you think I would willingly do this?"

Upon hearing this, I was surprised. She knew my father-in-law?

But I remained composed, saying, "If you're not willing, then please keep your special services away from normal people."

After that, I took Lili's phone from her hand and returned it to her, then left with Zhou Jun back to the hotel.

Feeling guilty for his parents' behavior and Lili's mischief, Zhou Jun didn't try to stop me when I exposed Lili in his work group using his phone.

Well, there was no Lili in their work group at all.

That night, Zhou Jun also revealed some family secrets he hadn't mentioned before.

"Before they came, I repeatedly told them not to cause trouble, and they assured me they wouldn't. It seems I was too naive."

It was then that I realized how difficult it was for him to grow up so upright in such a family.

Zhou Jun repeatedly told me I could go back to my parents' home first, and if his parents didn't leave when he returned from his business trip, he would handle it himself.

Following the principle of avoiding unnecessary trouble, I agreed.

But shortly after I returned to my parents' home, I received a call from my closest neighbor.

"Jiao, where have you been?"

"What's wrong?"

When she almost slipped with her big belly, I helped her up. Since then, we had become as close as sisters.

"Your in-laws are terrible. They've been spreading rumors about you in the neighborhood all day."

"They say you abuse them, make them work hard taking care of your child, and that you're a fox spirit trying to separate their son from them and drive them away."

"They even say that you're out every day fooling around while your husband is away, and now you don't even come home."

It seemed that Zhou Jun had informed them in advance and sent them back to their hometown to cause this trouble.

After hanging up the phone, I changed my mind.

For these weirdos, if I didn't deal with them, they would never learn their lesson.
