Miao Miao carefully helped me organize several documents and marked them with simple content, but my eyes were attracted by the main text. "Zhuang Jun, you think I'm harming you, don't you." It was indescribably uncomfortable, like a bullet hitting Heart. Goosebumps suddenly appeared all over my body, and I quickly clicked on the last unmarked folder. . My hunch told me that there must be something inside, something more important than the others. After clicking on it, screenshots came one after another. The development during my college years was worse than I imagined. The first screenshot shows that in the freshman year, Wang Xu said to Miao Miao on QQ: Hi, nice to meet you. The next screenshot is of Wang Xu’s affectionate confession to Miao Miao on the eve of dating me, saying that I will love you for a long time and never give up and never let you down. I fully thought that when Miao Miao and Wang Xu were introduced to each other, it was their first meeting. No, that’s not the case. Before me, Wang Xu had already fallen in love with Miao Miao. The reason why they Shuangshuang concealed it, for him, was to leave enough space for him to pursue beauty, and for Miao Miao, it was One of the endless stream of suitors, one of those who are too bland to retain memories. Therefore, in the ridiculous "first meeting", Wang Xu and Miao Miao already recognized each other, but both chose to keep silent about each other. Afterwards, the reason for Miao Miao's frequent objections was that Wang Xu It is definitely the reason why Miao Miao was framed. In the text, there is a paragraph left by Miao Miao for me. "Zhuang Jun, I didn't expect to tell you this in this way. I have kept a secret in my heart for many years. I wanted to say it several times for fear of weakening the sisterhood between us. When we first met, I liked you. I like your passion and hard work. I regard you as the sunshine of that time. It is you who should be shined now. Don’t hesitate at all. It is not too much to work hard to protect your own interests. You should get what is yours. That part of you, you deserve more. I'm sorry to tell you so late. You told me that you would be happy in your wedding dress with a smile on your face, which also infected my belief. The sweetness you have shown in the past three years made me mistakenly believe that I am. I did the right thing by concealing it. I didn’t gain your trust during this period, and your hesitation in my words made me realize that Wang Xu might be desperate. Why would you trust him again? He blamed everything on me. He was sure that you wouldn't ask me, but I didn't know that I would leave evidence. Don't worry, only you have seen it.
I was wrong not to tell you right away, and now you must reclaim what you deserve to ease my guilt.
Wang Nan said that this way would cause you the least harm.
I am waiting to see a beautiful turnaround; there is plenty of time ahead. When I return, do not be distracted by me. No matter what, I will be behind you.
I'm sorry, please do your best.
I breathed heavily, casually scanning through the contents of the folder before numbly closing the email, my emotions fluctuating uncontrollably.
It turns out that Miao Miao had already guessed everything. Wang Xu's slander against her, my suspicions about her—she began presenting evidence in front of me, telling me it wasn't her.
How sad it is when friendship reaches a point where one can only prove the other's innocence with evidence.
Everything Miao Miao did was for my sake; could I also find reasons for her actions?
She said she was afraid of diminishing our sisterly bond.
She didn't dare to tell me about Wang Xu's pursuit of her before but left evidence at that moment. She subtly advised me several times, and in the end, when I stubbornly went ahead with the marriage, she blessed me.
Moreover, with Deng Xiaomei's appearance, she did everything she could to help out of guilt for her own negligence. After persuading me to divorce and not receiving my firm response, she supported me in trying again.
In the end, it was my doubts that hurt Miao Miao, or perhaps she wanted me to conserve enough energy for Deng Xiaomei and Wang Xu. She said there is plenty of time ahead; wait for my return.
But what right do I have to wait for her return? I haven't even thought of Miao Miao once like this before. When Wang Xu framed Miao Miao, I was more willing to believe Wang Xu and trust her claim that Miao Miao was jealous of me.
Ironically, from the beginning until now, it has always been me who was jealous of Miao Miao.
I envied everything about her; I envied her goodness. If Miao Miao had truly told me everything about Wang Xu back then, would I have immediately severed ties with Wang Xu because of her?
The dirty truth is that I still can't be sure of the outcome.
From start to finish, I have been the one filled with jealousy. So I chose to believe in Wang Xu's fallacies and hoped that one day Miao Miao would genuinely be jealous of me.
But what are they jealous of me for? What are they jealous of me for?
It's all my jealousy. Wang Xu's words shook me, and my pitifully thin trust in Miao Miao stems from my envy of everything about her.
Miao Miao probably knew it would turn out this way, which is why she encouraged me from the sidelines as an outsider. While she cared for my fragile feelings, I made a choice that disappointed her.
How infuriating.
I ruined my precious friendship for a flawed love.
At first, I subconsciously wanted to rely on Miao Miao, thinking she was all-powerful, never considering how much effort she put into this terrible situation. The fatigue she showed that day and her forced smile haunt me.
It's all because of this wretched me, the one who betrayed Miao Miao's trust.
Sitting in front of the computer for too long, as dawn broke on the horizon and my limbs grew stiff, I pulled back my dazed gaze from the screen and recalled Miao Miao's repeated emphasis on her words.
She told me to make a beautiful comeback and not to be distracted by her. So it's not the right time yet; my apologies to Miao Miao must wait until she returns. Right now, the key issue is divorce.
Miao Miao was right; one crucial point about my mother-in-law is that her defenses are at their lowest, making her the easiest to break through.
I woke up after less than four hours of sleep. I still remembered picking up Lu Shuang; I waited at the elementary school gate around the usual time but heard something horrifying.
A student at the school had just been abducted by human traffickers. Parents had come to the school in an uproar that morning; they had been asked to leave not long ago. The child's mother fainted and was taken away by ambulance; otherwise, it would have escalated further.
Fear was evident on everyone's faces. They sighed, realizing that waiting for over an hour in the rain was indeed the right decision. No matter how big their family business was, it couldn't compare to a child's safety and health.
I was also affected by their emotions. As soon as Lu Shuang came out, I tightened my grip on her little hand. In the car, I repeatedly reminded Lu Shuang to be careful. If I'm not there to pick her up next time, she must ask about the other person's background.
"You need to make them say your dad's phone number. If they do, make sure they call your dad first. Wait until they finish before you talk; check if it's really your dad's number before you say anything. Only go with them if your dad agrees. Don't get into any car other than a taxi, and remember to keep in touch with your dad at all times."
I didn't even know where I learned all this from, but I kept instilling safety awareness in Lu Shuang. It really isn't okay for Lu Ming to just find someone random to pick up Lu Shuang. Tonight, I have to tell Lu Ming.
"Aunt Zhuang could just come pick me up instead."
Lu Shuang stared at me with wide eyes, and I awkwardly smiled, wrapping her small hand in mine to offer a bit of warmth. "Aunt Zhuang doesn't know either, but you must remember what I said, okay? If it's an uncle, you need to be even more cautious. A loud-voiced aunt isn't good either."
It was biased of me to easily define bad people, but human traffickers were too far removed from my circle; I couldn't even imagine what they might be like. I could only vaguely advise Lu Shuang.
When evening came and the meal hadn't been served yet, I hurriedly spoke to Lu Ming.
"From now on, Lu Shuang can't just ask anyone for rides." I relayed what I had heard that afternoon with excitement, but Lu Ming calmly served me a bowl of soup that had just been brought out.
"Be careful, it's hot."
I was both angry and anxious. Was Lu Ming really fit to be a father? How could he not take this matter seriously? I was exasperated. "Did you hear what I said? She can't just call anyone to pick her up anymore. It was so easy for me to pick her up the first time; what if it were someone else? What if it were a trafficker? Would it be that easy for them too?"
Lu Ming served another bowl of soup for Lu Shuang. After I finished my pointed questioning, he turned his attention to Lu Shuang and repeated his earlier warning.
"Be careful, it's hot."
As I was fuming, Lu Ming continued to ask Lu Shuang, "Did you hear what Aunt Zhuang said this afternoon?"
"Yeah, I heard," Lu Shuang replied, chewing on some beef and nodding with a muffled voice.
"What did you say in response?"
"Aunt Zhuang can just keep picking me up," Lu Shuang said as she took another bite of beef.
At that moment, Lu Ming turned to look at me and asked, "Did you hear that?"
"What?" I looked at him in confusion.
"If you haven't secured other work yet, why don't you help me with picking up Lu Shuang from now on?" Lu Ming said casually.
"I... I'm looking for a job right now." Suddenly remembering Miao Miao, who introduced me to Lu Ming for stability, I felt that picking up Lu Shuang would be easy. But thinking about Lu Ming made me inexplicably hesitant.
Finally, Lu Ming served himself a bowl of soup and listened to my words without changing his expression.
"Salary and Benefits Convenient double, same vacation time as Little Shuang, paid winter and summer vacations."
Lu Ming casually mentioned conditions that truly tempted me. I felt a tug on my sleeve and looked down to meet Lu Shuang's eyes. She didn't say a word, just looked at me.
It was the moment of my choice, the moment when I was at my wits' end.
It seemed there was no other way.
"Okay."
Suddenly feeling a bit awkward, I picked up the warm bowl of soup and took a sip. The delicious broth spread in my mouth.
Then I heard Lu Ming say,
"Includes dinner."
I almost spat it out.
