During the New Year celebrations, I repeatedly embarrassed my mother-in-law in front of friends and family.
At home, she would order me around, and I simply refused her requests. When we were dining at a hotel, she wanted me to serve tea and water to everyone. I sarcastically remarked, "Mom, you're so capable; why do you need to boss me around?"
"Everyone here knows how skilled you are; why not put on a show for us?" My mother-in-law froze in embarrassment.
Nearby relatives awkwardly tried to smooth things over, saying, "It's the New Year; don't pick on the elderly."
"Yes, yes, women should be gentle and obedient," I retorted directly. "My mom isn't just any elderly person; she's a strong woman."
"If you all admire her so much, she should definitely perform for you!" My mother-in-law's face turned a deep shade of anger.
My father-in-law and husband also looked displeased. I intentionally urged, "Mom, why don't you entertain everyone with a performance?"
Reluctantly, my mother-in-law had to muster the courage to sing and dance. The relatives laughed uncontrollably. Both my mother-in-law and father-in-law felt utterly humiliated.
Throughout the New Year festivities, my mother-in-law no longer dared to order me around in public. My husband and sister-in-law also kept their heads down. I knew they were afraid of my outbursts!
My husband started coming home late as well. I suspected he might be cheating on me. Past experiences made me suspicious. He would work overtime until one or two in the morning before returning home.
I left the house early in the morning again.
I asked my husband where he was working overtime.
He impatiently replied, "Zhou Ya, can you just stop bothering me?"
I suspected he was off having fun with his mistress.
After the mistress got pregnant, they kicked my daughter and me out of our home.
My husband claimed the mistress was having a boy.
My mother-in-law said that if the mistress gave birth to a son, she would keep him and discard the rest.
After leaving that illegitimate child behind, they killed the mistress!
The autopsy report stated: death by asphyxiation!
I couldn't help but laugh coldly inside: this time, I would expose their disgraceful acts!
I decided to create an opportunity for them, to ensnare them deeply so they couldn't escape.
Then, I would catch them all at once!
I took a food container to my husband's company and sat in the waiting area reading a newspaper.
My fingers tightly gripped the paper as my heart raced uncontrollably.
Suddenly, a woman walked in.
She was tall and strikingly beautiful, with exquisite makeup and high heels as she stepped into the elevator.
I recognized her immediately; she was the mistress!
In my previous life, I had seen her photo.
The mistress was named Xia Jiahui and was my husband's college classmate.
She complained to her friend, "Zhou Ya is such a foolish woman; she still doesn't know her husband is cheating on her."
My best friend asked gossipingly, "So, who made the first move between you two?"
The mistress replied proudly, "Of course, it was me!"
"I had my eye on him ever since our graduation dinner."
"Later, I intentionally added him on WeChat, inviting him out for meals, movies, and karaoke."
"Ma Zhaoqiang has been in love with me for a long time; he just hasn't had the courage to mention divorce."
My friend said enviously, "You’re so lucky to have a backup."
The mistress scoffed, "How can his old hag of a wife compare to me?"
"Once I have a son, I’ll completely take her place!"
After the mistress stepped into the elevator, I quickly stood up.
I waited a few minutes, estimating that she had already entered the office.
Taking a deep breath, I walked down the corridor in my high heels.
Bang!
I kicked the door open forcefully.
The mistress was sitting on my husband’s lap, both of them disheveled.
Feigning shock, I covered my mouth and exclaimed, "Honey, you really cheated on me?"
My husband turned pale. "Wife, let me explain..."
The mistress adjusted her clothes and pretended to sob pitifully, "Sister-in-law, it’s all my fault..."
I snorted coldly. "Miss Xia, you really know how to play the innocent!"
I shouted loudly, drawing the attention of company employees around us.
