A woman's voice came from the phone.
"Wei Xuan, you really need to be careful about your wife!"
It was Zheng Xue's voice. Brother Wang and Sister Zheng were both top students back in the day. Unlike us, they had gotten their marriage certificate early in college and both stayed at the school after graduation. Their love was harmonious, a rare golden couple in the school. It was their love that once encouraged me to pursue Li Tong without hesitation.
Sister Zheng spoke earnestly:
"I never thought highly of you two back then. Seeing how much you liked her, I didn't say anything. This woman, she's a bit complicated!"
"I'm a woman; I understand women. When a woman truly loves someone, she wouldn't want them to suffer even a little!"
Sister Zheng was about to say more when she was interrupted by Brother Wang.
"Wei Xuan, take care of yourself. Don't act impulsively when things happen. If you need anything, definitely call me—don't hesitate!"
He hurriedly hung up the phone.
I was left standing there, stunned like a wooden chicken. My whole body trembled violently. I swayed into the living room and downed a glass of whiskey in one go. I smashed the blanket into pieces! At that moment, all I wanted was revenge!
As I went downstairs, a red BMW sports car was parked at the entrance. Song Xiang had his arm around Li Tong's waist, whispering something in her ear that made her laugh uncontrollably. When they spotted me, Li Tong panicked and tried to pull his hand away from her waist. Song Xiang shot me a provocative look and tightened his grip on her even more. Those two!
I blocked their way.
"Lin Weixuan, this is my home. Are you really not going to let me in?"
Li Tong raised her chin defiantly, like a proud peacock, showing no sign of guilt in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, but bitches and dogs are not allowed inside."
Li Tong's face turned pale with anger in an instant. Song Xiang swung a fist at my head, but I tilted it just in time to dodge.
"I know you're a well-known little thug around here, but today, I don't want to fight."
Before I could finish my sentence, Song Xiang landed a heavy punch on me. Pain shot through my left cheek, and I tasted blood in my mouth.
He glared at me fiercely. "You know that and still block my way? You're just asking for a beating!"
Feigning to take out a tissue, I discreetly pressed the recording device hidden in my pocket.
"Li Tong, Li Xiang isn't your real brother, is he?"
I got straight to the point.
Li Tong's eyes widened in surprise as she sized me up from head to toe.
"You've been investigating us?"
Song Xiang was taken aback; he hadn't expected me to find out so quickly.
"The reason you look down on me is that you actually like him, right?"
"If you had just told me the truth earlier, I wouldn't have cared. I could have stepped back."
I spoke from the heart; I had genuinely thought that way before. To protect her, I would give everything. For her happiness, I could also walk away entirely.
"I can give you money, a house, a car—everything."
"Really?" Li Tong seemed somewhat tempted.
Song Xiang remained skeptical and held her back.
"Stop pretending!"
"I know you too well. Just because you have a little money now, you think you can do whatever you want. But deep down, you'll always carry that inferiority complex of being poor. Right now, in my eyes, you're just a nouveau riche!"
"Heh, me insecure?"
"Are you blind? Do you think I would feel inferior in front of a good-for-nothing thug who only knows how to fight?"
"Your only redeeming quality might just be that long, ugly face of yours."
"Women are truly fickle; they love it when men act indifferent."
Provocation is a powerful tool.
I took another punch to the face.
"How about this," I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth with the back of my hand.
"If you two really love each other, I'll help you out. You can leave with nothing, and I won't hold it against you."
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Li Tong shouted loudly.
"What did I do wrong? Why should I leave with nothing?"
A dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water.
"You both know what your relationship is!"
I pulled out the photo I had found in the wardrobe earlier and placed it in front of her.
With evidence laid out, she was left speechless.
But Song Xiang reached out, snatched the photo, and tore it to shreds.
"So what if it’s true? What can you do about it?"
"Dare to fight me for a woman? You're not even close!"
He pushed hard on my left shoulder, causing me to stumble and fall to the ground.
I secretly smiled; I had taken the bait.
