BXBX NOVEL Chapter 247: 247 Cheating_1
In order to save up for their house and wedding, she had been extremely frugal, not buying any new clothes for several years and wearing the hand-me-downs from Wenya. To save money on haircuts, she would cut her own hair at home. Although she didn’t dress up or wear makeup, she wasn’t extraordinarily old or ugly.
However, now that she was pregnant, her belly had grown large and she had gained more than ten pounds. Wearing Yu Jiahang’s overcoat made her look somewhat sluggish and defeated.
Yet, this was a woman’s special period, and any man who loved his wife should be understanding.
To think he would despise her so!
“Yu Jiahang, do you believe me if I say I’ll hack into your company’s network again?”
“I’ve been promoted now, so I don’t have to deal with such trivial matters anymore. Hack all you want. Also, there’s no need for you to do this, there’s no hard feelings between us. If you’re afraid I’ll cheat on you with other women, why don’t you come and accompany me instead? I’ve always admired you. You’re a lot better than Jian Jing, both beautiful and curvaceous. If you’re willing, I could…”
“Get lost!”
I cursed at Yu Jiahang, then blocked him.
This bastard!
I couldn’t help but curse out loud.
After that, I sent Jian Jing a text message.
“Are you asleep?”
Jian Jing quickly replied, “Not yet!”
Although I’d initially wanted to speak to her about Yu Jiahang, I found myself unable to do so once the time came.
Handling this situation poorly could create distance between us.
Before I could figure out what to say, she sent me another text.
“What’s up, Ayun?”
“Oh, nothing. I was just wondering how the baby is doing now?”
“He’s doing great! He’s been moving every day, and I can feel him. It’s a strange feeling, but all I wish now is for him to be born healthily and to meet him soon.”
“So… is Yu Jiahang treating you well?”
“He’s been really good to me! His mother is so harsh. If it weren’t for him protecting me, I wouldn’t have been able to stay in this family. Recently, he bought many clothes for our baby, as well as a crib. He’s even registered for prenatal classes for our baby. He’s moved out of our bedroom and is sleeping in the guest room because he doesn’t want his snoring to disturb me.”
“Have you noticed any changes in Yu Jiahang recently?”
I tried to beat around the bush, to guide her slowly towards any potential realizations.
After pondering for a while, Jian Jing replied, “If I have to say anything’s changed, it’s that he’s been promoted at work. He’s been busier, often having to work late or coming back home later. However, I can understand all this. I have to support him, right? He has a tough time too, as he’s shouldering all the expenses at home. Without him, it would be difficult for me and the baby to get by.”
Seeing Jian Jing’s messages, I swallowed the words I initially wanted to say.
If they were to divorce, what would Jian Jing do on her own?
“It’s nothing, Jian Jing. Get some rest early and take care of yourself!”
“Ayun, you’re texting me this late. Is there something you want to tell me?”
“Nothing important. I just can’t sleep and wanted to chat with you. Go to sleep now. Goodnight!”
After hanging up, I was once again lost in my thoughts.
After a while, my phone rang again, it was a call from Ding Yinuo.
“Are you still at the Song Family’s house?”
I took my phone and walked to the window, looking out at the city full of lights.
“Yeah! My aunt is not in a good state, I’m here to accompany her!”
“Should I come over?”
“No need to! BTW, have you found any leads about my uncle yet?”
“Not yet! Nothing for the moment. We will keep waiting!”
“Alright!”
“Rest early, and contact me anytime if you need anything.”
“Okay, good night!”
After hanging up, I turned off the lights in the study and walked out.
The light was still on in the room that used to belong to my best friend. Drawn by the light, I walked in.
Pushing open the door, I saw a figure.
It was Gu Yuanzhou. His back was turned towards the door as he was flipping through a photo album.
From the side, his expression looked serious. I approached quietly.
It was only when I got closer that I could see he was gazing at a picture, his finger gently tracing the face of the person in the photo.
He seemed to be full of emotion. I took a closer look and realized the photo was of me from my high school days.
In the photo, I was a jovial teenager with a ponytail.
“Ahem!”
I placed my hands behind my back and cleared my throat.
Gu Yuanzhou glanced at me, “What are you doing here?”
“Putting on a show of deep affection now that she’s gone?”
“This picture, it looks like Xiaoyi… I was thinking, if it weren’t for that fire, Xiaoyi would have looked like this when she reached sixteen.”
His tone was low, filled with grief.
My two children were the deepest sorrow in my heart. A sorrow that can’t be suppressed or hidden…
It was as if a wound was being torn open in front of me. Looking at Gu Yuanzhou, my heart was filled with pain and anger.
I even blamed all the wrongdoing on Gu Yuanzhou. I even thought that if he hadn’t had an extramarital affair with Ye Mengyan, the fire might not have happened.
My two children wouldn’t have ended up so tragically.
But reason told me I couldn’t vent my anger in front of Gu Yuanzhou.
I could only suppress my anger deep within my heart. The tips of my fingers hidden under my sleeves were trembling constantly, and my breath was irregular.
Luckily, Gu Yuanzhou seemed to be immersed in his grief. He didn’t pay much attention to me and kept murmuring to himself while staring at the photo,
“Does reincarnation actually exist? If rebirth is possible, where would my Xiaoyi end up?”
I mocked him coldly,
“You didn’t cherish her when she was alive. What’s the point of saying these things now that she’s gone?”
It was then that Gu Yuanzhou looked up at me,
“You’d do well to stop being scornful. The suffering I’ve been through is not something you can imagine. You wouldn’t understand.”
“Ha, you can’t even be bothered to save your own brother-in-law. And you think I might sympathize with you?”
At this, Gu Yuanzhou fell silent. He closed the photo album and walked out of the room.
Leaving the room, I went downstairs.
Mrs. Wu had arranged a guest room for me, seeing how late it was, I decided not to go back and stayed at the Song Family’s house for the night.
The next morning.
When I woke up, Wu Lijuan decided to take me to Huaxin Company to see if we could find any clues there.
But before we left, a courier came with express delivery.
“Mrs. Song, right? You’ve got an express delivery here. Please sign for it!”
It was a Shunfeng courier. After Wu Lijuan signed for it, she opened the express envelope and took out the letter. She fainted as soon as she finished reading it.
