C86

Zhou Ze ignored me and hung up the phone.

As I listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, I suddenly felt a loneliness that I had never felt before. I couldn't help but laugh, so it turned out that they had already been together for a long time.

I stayed up most of the night. I sat on the sofa and stared until dawn.

My mind was almost filled with Zhou Jin's face. I missed him so much, I couldn't imagine how much he had suffered when he committed suicide.

I lay there for a long time, and only after my appointment time did I get up to wash my face and brush my teeth. My movements were numb and stiff, like a walking corpse.

I took a taxi directly to the hospital Xie Zongming made an appointment for. This was a private maternity hospital, there were many experts invited from overseas, many rich people would be here to prepare for pregnancy.

I walked into the hospital and sat in the lobby, waiting for Xie Zongming and Li Jie's arrival.

People were coming and going in front of me, and most of them had happy smiles on their faces.

Actually, I don't like children. I have never felt that a noisy child is an angel, especially a child who has just been born wrinkled and looks like a monkey.

But Zhou Jin made me want to give him a baby for the first time, but this wish will probably never come true.

I looked at my watch and hid to the side of the corridor to prevent Xie Zongming and Li Jie from seeing me the moment they entered the door.

I stared fixedly at the door, and before long, I saw Xie Zongming carrying Li Jie in.

She was wearing a light coloured skirt and practically had no makeup on. Her face wasn't good, and she looked very tired, but her entire body was filled with the radiance of happiness. I hid in the corner and looked at her, feeling a little ashamed and inferior.

Xie Zongming followed beside her, tightly pulling on his hand, with his ten fingers interlocked. Xie Zongming had never pulled on my hand like this before, and my heart couldn't help but ache because I knew that this was due to unwillingness.

I don't want to admit that I lost from the beginning.

Xie Zongming carefully held onto Li Jie, as if he was afraid that Li Jie would fall down, and his face was similarly brimming with a blissful smile.

I clenched my fists and stared at them.

What do they take me for? I want to destroy them.

I took out my cell phone and took several pictures of them.

I watched them turn into the corridor, and I followed them quietly. I saw them enter the office, and I wanted to hear what they were saying inside, but the door was closed and I couldn't hear or see anything.

I leaned against the wall by the entrance. My entire body was on the verge of collapsing. My entire body was drenched in cold sweat. My body was trembling slightly. I really hated that.

In the relationship between the three of them, I became a fool to be used up and cast off.

"Are you okay?" a man standing next to me asked gently.

I endured it for a long time before I recovered from my near collapse. I forced a smile on my face and said, "Thank you, I'm fine."

"That's good." She left.

I went to the bathroom to wash my face. I looked at myself in the mirror. I was a bit old, my eyes were tired, and my eyes were as lifeless as stagnant water.

I took a deep breath and told myself it was no big deal. I had a hard battle to fight.

Just as I was about to walk out of the bathroom, I heard Li Jie's voice.

"Old Xie, I want to go to the toilet. Wait for me here."

I heard Li Jie's footsteps getting closer and closer, so I quickly hid in the bathroom cubicle.

Since it was a private hospital, the bathroom was very clean, and the trash can was also very clean. I could smell the strong scent of disinfectant in the air.

I sat on the toilet seat and listened for movement outside. I heard Li Jie walk in, stop in front of my door for a while, then go to the cubicle next door.

In my heart, I hoped for Li Jie and Xie Zongming to leave this place quickly. At the same time, I hoped that they wouldn't.

Li Jie was a pregnant woman, so time was needed for a pregnant woman to go to the toilet.

The bathroom was very quiet. Other than Li Jie and I, no one else came in.

Not long after, I heard Li Jie's phone ring. Li Jie immediately picked it up.

"Old Xie, why are you making a call when we're so close to each other?" Li Jie laughed and said, her tone was filled with happiness.

"You're worried about me." Li Jie laughed and said, "What is there to worry about, I don't think you are worrying about me, you are worrying about your son."

"I don't believe it." Li Jie said, "You guys are all like this, your mouths sound good. It's the same for all boys and girls, but in the end, you still want boys."

I don't know what Xie Zongming said on the other side of the phone, but she laughed. Although she was already married, and was even the mother of two children, her laughter was just like a young girl's.

I clenched my fists.

The two of them were so happy that only I was unnecessary.

"Hubby, I'm done. I'll hang up first." Li Jie kissed her lips and then hung up.

The two of them were like real couples.

Not long after, Li Jie left. I sat in the bathroom for a while before following her out.

I was muddleheaded and followed them closely. My heart was empty, I even thought that it wouldn't be a big deal if they found out, but let them find out, I wanted to see what expressions they would use to face me. Don't they feel disgusted doing that?

I watched the two of them holding hands as they walked into Xie Zongming's car. They even kissed each other on the cheek before getting on the car.

I got into a taxi, too, and said to the driver, "Please help me follow that car."

The driver glanced at me, and her expression was impatient until she turned to see me, my face ashen and my lips trembling slightly, and she started the car.

"What's wrong?" The driver was a Middle-aged woman and dressed neatly. She asked me cordially.

I stared at Xie Zongming's car and said expressionlessly, "The person driving in the car in front is my husband, and the person sitting beside him is his lover. Today, he brought his lover to the labor inspection, and only today do I know that his lover is my good friend for almost ten years."

The driver looked at me but didn't say anything, she only followed closely behind Xie Zongming's car. It seemed that my situation was too miserable and she didn't know how to comfort me.

Xie Zongming drove for around half an hour before he stopped in front of a residential building. This was an old residential area, and it was bustling with noise and excitement.

I saw Xie Zongming's car stop.

I took the money out of my wallet and gave it to the driver. "No, thank you," I said.

I was about to open the door and get out when my arm caught and I turned to look at the driver.

The driver looked at me and said seriously, "It's no big deal, I don't have a man to look for a better one."

"Thank you." "No," I said.

I jogged a few steps to catch up with Xie Zongming and Li Jie. I saw from afar that they were still holding hands, as if they were newlyweds, and just as they were about to enter the building, I saw that Xie Zongming's mother had returned with a shopping bag in her hands. When Xie Zongming's mother saw that Li Jie's face was like a chrysanthemum, she immediately broke into a smile.

No wonder Xie Zongming's attitude towards me changed so much later on. She had already known about Li Jie's situation, and in order to take away my property, she acted together with Xie Zongming.

I squeezed my hand so hard it had the mark of a fingernail in it.

"Mom, where did you go? "Why are there so many dishes?" Xie Zongming took a step forward and took the dish from Xie Zongming's mother's hands.

Xie Zongming's mother dodged it, then laughed and said, "Go and help Li Jie. Li Jie is currently pregnant with your son, I don't need your help."

I saw Li Jie bashfully smile as Xie Zongming once again held onto Li Jie's hand.

When Xie Zongming saw this scene, he said with gratitude, "It wasn't easy for you two, I remember that my family's Xie Zongming liked you before, and I like you as well, but I don't know what my son is thinking either. He actually married that Xia Ying, and the first time I saw him, I knew that she wasn't someone to lead a life.

You old thing. I cursed in my heart.

"Mom, let's not talk about this. Isn't it almost over?" Hearing what Xie Zongming's mother said, Li Jie's expression darkened as she consoled, "What did you buy to eat?"

"It's all for you, I'll go home now and prepare some soup for you." When Xie Zongming's mother finished speaking, the three of them went upstairs together.

I stood downstairs and looked up. I felt dizzy.

Betrayal, was all betrayal.

Li Jie, Xie Zongming, Xie Zongming's mother, weave a big net for me.

As I thought this, I walked slowly along the road. The cool wind blew on me, and I suddenly came to my senses.

If I continued to muddle through and let Xie Zongming cheat me, while I held back at home to wash and cook for him, what would happen to me now?

If I did not meet Zhou Jin, and let them scheme against me, my current assets should already be in Xie Zongming's pockets.

Luckily I met you, Zhou Jin.

They actually schemed against me like that.

I clenched my fists and bit my lip. I will make you pay.

I suddenly remembered that Zhou Jin is today's plane, I once again took a taxi to the airport, I hope that I will have a chance to see Zhou Jin one last time.

In the taxi I opened the window and the wind blew on my face, so far in my life only Zhou Jin's love for me was real.

I was standing in the airport, and there were a lot of people coming and going, making a lot of noise, but I couldn't hear any of them. I just thought about Zhou Jin.

All I know is that Zhou Jin is going to France.

I searched the airport for a long time, but I couldn't find him. I sat on the chair in despair.

Outside the huge glass window, a plane was taking off. I didn't know why, but after watching that plane fly away, I finally couldn't hold back my tears anymore and started crying.
