To this day, I no longer wish to hide. Wang Xu may argue that I have thought too little of him, but his expression is pained, as if standing on the edge of a knife, staring at me intently, like the one who has betrayed—it's me.
How many lies has Wang Xu told to build an impenetrable wall? Even when I bluntly expose him, he still intends to continue hiding the truth!
"Zhuang Jun, stop talking nonsense all day!"
Each word is heavy and resolute. Wang Xu seems certain that I don't know too much and chooses to remain silent at this critical moment. I have no desire to continue this pointless exchange with him.
As a married couple, Wang Xu and I have found ourselves on opposing sides of a game, and ultimately, it is I who cannot maintain my composure, retreating step by step.
The scene I never dared to imagine has somehow manifested into this reality. The so-called daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law will not be seen in my case.
With each move on the board, I am bound to lose.
I briefly close my eyes, yet my body trembles uncontrollably in the darkness. Memories flash through my mind chaotically, including the nauseating image of Wang Xu embracing Deng Xiaomei, which is deeply etched in my memory.
When I open my eyes again, Wang Xu's expression remains unchanged, showing no hint of remorse.
I feel so cold inside that even looking at Wang Xu for a moment feels suffocating.
"Zhuang Jun, who have you been listening to? How can you doubt me like this, doubt our feelings?" Wang Xu's eyes bulge wide, bloodshot and red as if they might bleed at any moment.
His words cause my tumultuous heart to sink heavily, leaving a gaping hole within me from which blood seems to pour endlessly, with no end in sight.
"Wang Xu." I was almost in despair, my gaze sweeping over Wang Xu. Without saying it out loud, I feared he wouldn't acknowledge it: "There are a few things I want to ask you, or else I'll feel suffocated."
"Go ahead."
"You could easily kick me out, tell me to leave, say I'm worthless because I can't have children. But you, Wang Xu, didn't do that. You cheated first and then had the audacity to question my sincerity. Did you think that by bringing Deng Xiaomei downstairs, you could treat me, Zhuang Jun, like a fool? Have you ever thought about me? Do you know that when I heard about your infidelity, I pretended not to know, hoping that you would reconsider our marriage? But what about you? I, Zhuang Jun, have to endure this humiliation."
I truly felt humiliated; I was the one who was wronged, yet I couldn't be as bold as Wang Xu. I couldn't even settle my doubts; I was afraid of misjudging or hurting him. He was the one who cheated, yet at this critical moment, he still wanted to hide it from me and shift all the blame onto me.
I didn't hold much hope for Wang Xu's answer.
Looking back at Wang Xu, his expression resembled shattered glass—fragmented and varied in emotions.
I took out my phone, switched to a secondary account on WeChat, opened Deng Xiaomei's Moments, and selected two photos of them embracing to push in front of Wang Xu.
Wang Xu's defenses finally crumbled, and mine fell apart as well.
"Wife..." Wang Xu reached out a trembling hand to rest on the back of mine. His last bit of resolve was shattered; he looked dejected like a child: "It's not what you think. I have my reasons; please let me explain."
I wanted to pull my hand away, but Wang Xu held it tightly, even cradling my left hand with both of his hands around my wedding ring on my ring finger, which felt unusually tight.
"Wife, please just listen to me this once! I really didn't mean it; I had too much to drink... I had no idea what was happening. It was only after waking up that I realized I had done something wrong to you. I didn't mean to hide it from you; I was afraid you'd be angry or stop loving me... I was set up! Wife, listen to me; it was all Mu Miaomiao's doing! She framed me!"
As Wang Xu spoke passionately, his expression changed dramatically. When he mentioned Mu Miaomiao, it was as if he had grasped a lifeline while falling off a cliff; his eyes sparkled with urgency: "It's Mu Miaomiao! Please don't listen to her nonsense; she orchestrated everything!"
