In the restroom of the teahouse, avoiding Wang Xu's mention of Miao Miao, I recounted everything else to Miao Miao. Every word felt like a sharp knife stabbing at my heart, and after each sentence, I had to grit my teeth and pause for a moment to gather my emotions before I could finish speaking properly.
"Is your mother-in-law not afraid of divine retribution?! It makes me so angry, so angry!" Miao Miao was slightly breaking down, roughly tossing her hair back with a face full of resentment. "How dare they do this? They really have some nerve! Fine, fine, they are really something!"
Miao Miao began pacing back and forth in the restroom, angrily cursing. A stranger woman entered midway but left without doing anything upon seeing Miao Miao's state.
I watched Miao Miao with a pang of sorrow, as if her demeanor reminded me of my past self, who must have been just as furious.
Suddenly, Wang Xu's words flashed through my mind. Was the Miao Miao standing in front of me now, with slightly reddened eyes from anger, truly the mastermind behind all this?
If not, then why was Wang Xu so adamant about it being Miao Miao?
"Zhuang Jun, stop overthinking it. This marriage should end. That woman with the surname Deng definitely has something to hold against you. Don't worry; I've got your back. I refuse to believe there’s no justice!"
After saying this, Mu Miaomiao reached out to hug me, resting her chin on my shoulder. I could hear her voice filled with concern: "Zhuang Jun, I'm really sorry. I didn't know so much had happened. Now that I'm back, everything will be alright."
I had known Miao Miao longer than Wang Xu. From the very beginning, she had boldly appeared in front of me with her carefree attitude. I was slow to warm up; Mu Miaomiao was impulsive. I was timid; Mu Miaomiao was daring.
I never imagined that this side of Miao Miao could hurt me until Wang Xu's words sparked my suspicion towards her. At this moment, as she opened her heart to me, I found it hard to feel much gratitude.
I still didn't want to confront her about it now. I had always been weak; even the fact that Wang Xu's infidelity was an undeniable truth was something I wanted to avoid discussing with Miao Miao.
She remained oblivious and pulled me out of the restroom while persuading me to stay along the way.
“Zhuang Jun, you need to change jobs. I can help you find another one, but it would be a shame if you really left. The prospects at Lu Ge's place are very good. If you stay with him for a while, he will likely promote you, especially after your divorce. You need to hold onto a promising job. If you work at Lu Ge's, I will feel more at ease.”
Standing at the door of the private room, Miao Miao emphasized again, “I know those rumors are hard to hear, but do you really feel happy about them misunderstanding you? Grit your teeth and stay. Be yourself; they will gradually discover the truth. It might just take some determination to get through this.”
Miao Miao spoke sincerely. In the past, I would have thought that Miao Miao wouldn't harm me and would unconditionally agree with what she said. But now, what lingers in my mind are Wang Xu's cries.
“Wife, listen to me. It was really Mu Miaomiao who did it!”
“She has long wanted to set us up and destroy our family!”
“Mu Miaomiao can't stand to see you happy; she just wants to make your life miserable.”
I slowly raised my head and met Miao Miao's gaze. “Miao Miao, do you really want me to get a divorce?”
Which one is the truth? Even I don't want to know at all.
