Chu E laughed coldly. ‘Not even willing to acknowledge your own flesh and blood, do you think your actions are noble? Brave enough to have an affair, but not brave enough to take responsibility? Gu Yunzhi, I despise you!’
He was stunned. For a long time, he couldn’t speak.
Hearing the sound of the car starting, Chu Yue knew he had left. At that moment, it seemed like something quietly peeled away from her body, painfully. She collapsed on the bed as if her body had fallen apart, tears unknowingly covering her face. Tossing and turning half the night, she finally fell into a daze.”
When she woke up, it was already noon. Just after opening her phone, it rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Without much thought, she picked up the phone: “Hello, who is this?”
The other party was silent for a moment, then said, “I’m Song Yunhua!”
“Snap,” the egg in Chu Yue’s hand fell to the ground, yellow and white spreading everywhere. She took a deep breath and said, “Is there something you want?”
“Let’s meet,” Song Yunhua’s voice was calm. “I’ll wait for you at the teahouse opposite your residential complex!” Then she hung up.
Gu Yunzhi had already broken up with her, so why was Song Yunhua looking for her? Chu Yue sat on the sofa, her mind engaged in intense mental struggle. She knew that Song Yunhua was looking for her to see her current miserable state and humiliate her. She wouldn’t let her succeed! She was determined to show that leaving Gu Yunzhi, she could still live well, and even better than before!
Adjusting her expression in the mirror, she began to apply makeup. She couldn’t go bare-faced and let her see her paleness and haggardness. She applied blush, added lip color, used eyeshadow to hide dark circles, and changed into a well-fitted white down jacket.
Looking in the mirror, her features were delicate, and her figure slim, with no signs of pregnancy. She was still elegant and charming, in no way inferior.
Taking a deep breath, she grabbed her bag and left home.
When she arrived, Song Yunhua was already waiting. She recognized her at a glance. Song Yunhua was adorned with jewelry, noble and elegant, her every gesture exuding an intellectual aura.
Seeing her, she smiled slightly, “You’re here?”
Chu Yue sat down, quietly looking at her, “What do you want?”
Song Yunhua just smiled without speaking, elegantly holding the teapot to brew tea, casually asking, “What tea does Miss Shen prefer?”
Chu Yue used to dislike tea, but Gu Yunzhi said coffee was harmful to health, so she gradually learned to drink tea. However, in front of Song Yunhua, she couldn’t possibly chat and brew tea like friends. So she directly said, “Let’s get to the point, Ms. Song!”
Song Yunhua continued her actions, “Miss Shen, don’t be in a hurry. The tea isn’t even drunk yet!” She poured water, saying softly, “This tea must be slowly savored.”
Life is like tea tasting – the first brew bitter as gentian, the second sweet as honey, the third light as a breeze. This is the taste of time, the flavor of moments! She paused, enunciating each word, “Marriage is the same!”
Chu Yue felt a bit panicked. What was she trying to do? Compared to Song Yunhua’s composure, she suddenly felt like a piece of meat on a chopping board, somewhat uneasy.
Song Yunhua looked at her, word by word: “Get rid of the child, and then, leave this city!”
Chu E’s lips instantly lost all color. She actually knew about her pregnancy! Moreover, she believed this child was Gu Yanzhi’s! But why didn’t Gu Yanzhi himself acknowledge it? Could it be, just like a worn-out TV plot, the wife was cleaning up the aftermath of her husband’s affair? She couldn’t help but shiver.
Song Yunhua coldly looked at her, “Miss Shen, you’re a smart person, so I don’t need to elaborate further, right? Keeping this child is not good for you or me!” She pulled out an envelope from her bag and quietly placed it on the table, saying, “Here are 50,000 yuan. I think this should be more than enough for an abortion…”
She regarded a human life so cheaply, and her contemptuous tone made Chu E feel nauseated. She was about to grab the stack of money and throw it in her face, but before she could move, someone was faster and grabbed the envelope. Instinctively looking up, she was stunned by who she saw.
By the table, Gu Yanzhhi stood with a face of iron, his right hand gripping the envelope tightly, his expression beyond furious.
“Yanzhhi?” Song Yunhua was stunned, calling out softly, “How are you here?”
Gu Yanzhhi coldly laughed, countering, “And why are you here?”
“I…” Song Yunhua was suddenly at a loss for words.
Gu Yanzhhi coldly looked at Song Yunhua, raising the thin envelope, “Is this how you, Song Yunhua, handle things? Resorting to any means to achieve your goals? Even refusing to spare an innocent child?”
After learning the truth, Yan Zhi was struck like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. He never dreamed that for her own selfish desires, Song Yunhua could do something so despicable! He hurriedly rushed back to confront her but couldn’t find her. Realizing she might go to find Chu Yue, he rushed over, and sure enough, he saw Song Yunhua’s red POLO at the teahouse. Seeing Song Yunhua attempting to make Chu Yue abort her child made him realize that their marriage had truly reached its end.
Hearing all this, Chu Yue’s heart could not calm down for a long time.
She couldn’t describe the taste in her heart, only feeling very uncomfortable, so much so that she couldn’t help but clutch her chest, her mind in a mess.
These past two days, I’ve been torn about this ending. Should I let Chu Chu and Yan Zhi be together? Or should I keep them apart?
If they get together, it seems like it might encourage being a mistress;
If they don’t get together, it feels a bit heartless;
So, should I let Yan Zhi die, so neither woman can have him?
Or should Yan Zhi divorce Yunhua, and Chu Chu leave far away, so no one can have anyone?
Friends, share your thoughts. What kind of ending do you want?
Yan Zhi lay for a long time on the steering wheel, his face deeply buried. Chu Yue understood his feelings; any normal man would not be able to bear being repeatedly deceived by his wife of eight years. However, she couldn’t understand why Song Yunhua would do this. She sighed softly, gently placing her hand on his shoulder, “Perhaps, she has unavoidable difficulties…”
Yan Zhi raised his head, staring at her, then laughed bitterly: “Yes, she indeed has unavoidable difficulties…”
Chu Yue was stunned.
A sarcastic smile played on Yan Zhi’s lips, “Her unavoidable difficulty is that the person who actually can’t conceive is her!”
Chu Yue gasped. Why would such a twisting story happen to someone she loves? She couldn’t come back to her senses for a long time.
Recalling Song Yunhua’s noble and indifferent face, she couldn’t help but shiver. This woman could be so insidious! Not being able to conceive was one thing, but to splash mud on Yan Zhi – how could she bear to do this? For love? For marriage? If this is truly the case, how could something obtained through such means last? She couldn’t imagine that Yan Zhi had shared a bed with such a deep-scheming woman for eight years!
At that moment, a trace of compassion rose in her heart. She sighed softly, her fingers caressing Yan Zhi’s haggard and tired face, “It’s all over, Yan Zhi, it’s all over…”
Yan Zhi looked at her sadly, “Xiao Yue, I’m really stupid, aren’t I? I actually believed her, I actually doubted you…”
“No need to say anything, I understand!” Chu Yue shook her head, gently placing her fingers on his cold lips, “Yun Zhi, I don’t blame you!”
Yun Zhi was stunned, “Xiao Yue, you forgive me?”
She sighed and nodded.
