These two treacherous lovers, it seems I have been too polite. Since they lack kindness, I shall not be merciful.
Zhou Shanshan quickly sent me a package containing her pregnancy test report. It also had a note: "I am carrying his child."
Fury turned to laughter as I tore the report to shreds. Zhou Shanshan often flaunted various designer bags and expensive cosmetics on her social media. Upon further investigation, I discovered that she even owned an apartment. Coming from an average family, she was merely the receptionist at a beauty salon. Her job and income could never afford such luxuries, let alone a house.
In an instant, everything became clear. Ma Tao had secretly bought her a home behind my back. "Am I the fool, or do you all think I'm foolish?" I recalled how I had sacrificed my own career to support Ma Tao's ambitions. Little did I know he was entangled with Zhou Shanshan and even bought her a house.
"Ma Tao, how could you do this to me!" My hatred for these two grew deeper. I hired a private investigator to track Ma Tao's movements. To my surprise, I uncovered an even greater scheme. They planned to deceive me into transferring my shares to him, leaving me with nothing.
Listening to the recordings on the voice recorder, my eyes burned with anger. Ma Tao's tone was filled with impatience. "I'm tired of your constant suspicion."
"She can't compare to you at all, you foul-tempered old hag."
"If it weren't for the shares, I wouldn't have put up with her for so long."
"As soon as I get my hands on the shares, I'm divorcing her."
Listening to Ma Tao's derogatory remarks about me, my heart turned to ice. I never expected that all my heartfelt efforts would mean nothing in his eyes. With a heavy heart, I put away the recording pen. I pretended to know nothing and instead became increasingly kind towards him.
Sure enough, Ma Tao let his guard down. He thought everything had passed, unaware that I was plotting something.
"Darling, I want some pork rib soup tonight," he said, reaching out from the sofa to affectionately wrap his arms around my waist.
I smiled and replied, "Sure."
Seeing me so obedient made him happy, and he leaned in to give me a kiss. I suppressed my disgust and turned to head into the kitchen.
Later that night, after I had coaxed Tang Tang to sleep, Ma Tao's phone rang. He glanced at me, and I pretended not to see as I turned over. Only then did he quietly get out of bed and head to the balcony.
"My dear, I miss you," came a voice message from Zhou Shanshan that made my stomach churn.
Ma Tao showed no restraint in his response.
"Baby, I miss you too."
The two of them chatted sweetly for quite a while.
Ma Tao returned to bed, feeling content. He quickly fell asleep. Meanwhile, I found it impossible to sleep. Why was he so carefree?
The next day, I contacted an old client and arranged for him to give Ma Tao a large order. "If we can sign this contract smoothly, I'll give you the credit," I said. Ma Tao joyfully hugged me, saying, "Wife, you're the best." I couldn't help but smirk internally.
Before long, the client signed the contract. Ma Tao became busy with preparations. I watched him work with a cold gaze. Soon, the delivery deadline approached, but Ma Tao failed to deliver the order on time. He panicked. The client demanded a hefty compensation. He had no choice but to plead with me.
"Wife, can you help me out? There’s been a problem with this order," he said, looking down and unable to meet my gaze. "Can you make the compensation less?"
I raised an eyebrow. "Sure."
A look of surprise crossed his face.
I spoke slowly, "However, I have a condition."
