Wife's Lover

[Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]

The car quickly reached my house and I bid farewell to the piano teacher.

"Thank you for telling me." I turned and left, thinking about what had happened tonight.

"Wait a moment." piano teacher's voice suddenly came from behind.

When I turned to look at her, she rolled down the window, stuck her head out, and said, "She's not simple. Don't be fooled by her appearance."

I looked at her, and her face was serious, not like she was trying to break a relationship.

"Thank you." I nodded. "I'll be careful."

I never wanted to think too badly of her. The two of us had been friends since college, and I was always the first to help her whenever she had anything to do with it. I treated her well, and I didn't understand why she was plotting against me.

"What happened?" Xie Zongming, who was driving back alone, asked me when he saw me standing there alone.

I shook my head and said, "Zheng Xin was drugged, so I entered by mistake."

"Are you okay?" Xie Zongming pulled my hand and said, his expression was anxious, but his worry was definitely not because I was injured, but rather whether I was disloyal to him, or was taken advantage of by Zheng Xin.

"I'm fine." I said calmly.

"That's good." Xie Zongming immediately let go of my hand, as if I'm some kind of dirty thing.

He walked quickly, and passed me at once.

I looked at his back and thought he was the most disgusting man in the world.

I lay on my bed in the guest room and thought about what had happened today.

I fell asleep at Li Jie's place very rarely today. I wouldn't be that sleepy normally, but did I get drugged from time to time?

After I got up, there was no one in the entire villa, only the nanny room with the crazy Zheng Xin. If not for piano teacher's sudden appearance, I would have been violated, and piano teacher was called over by Li Jie.

Xie Zongming and I were also invited by Li Jie.

That means Xie Zongming, piano teacher and I are all chess pieces under her hands. Is she doing this to threaten her husband? Grab hold of her husband? Perhaps it was just to chase away the piano teacher.

I decided to talk to Li Jie tomorrow.

I punctually arrived at a coffee shop near the ocean at two in the afternoon. This coffee shop is very unique, it's a beach house, if you want to drink coffee you have to first walk a long flight of stairs to the next floor. It's Li Jie's appointed place, she said the coffee here is pretty good.

When I arrived, Li Jie was already sitting there. She waved at me with a gentle smile on her face, she looked exhausted, but her eyes flashed with a strange light. I suddenly felt uneasy.

"Ah Ying, you left yesterday. I'm especially worried about you." Li Jie stepped forward and held my hand. Her hand was a little moist, perhaps because of the hot weather, or because she was nervous.

After what happened yesterday, I kept having the feeling that Li Jie was scheming something. I pulled my arm out from her hands and ordered a cup of coffee to sit opposite of Li Jie.

"Li Jie, I don't mind what happened yesterday." I looked at Li Jie and said, "But I want to know the truth."

Li Jie quietly sat in front of me. She looked at me with a complicated gaze, but there was absolutely no apology in her eyes.

"Yesterday, that teacher colluded with my nanny to drug my husband and wanted to climb into my husband's bed." Li Jie said.

"Is that really the case?" I asked her, "Then tell me, why did you call piano teacher to call her? Furthermore, piano teacher told me that she only received your call yesterday afternoon. Since she wanted to plot against your husband and even colluded with your home's nanny, how could there not be enough time?"

I tried to speak to her as calmly as I could, so as not to smash the coffee on the table in her face.

"Are you suspecting me now?" Li Jie asked me. When she spoke, her entire face was twisted, and her beautiful face had turned ugly.

"Yes, I suspect you." I took a sip of the slightly bitter coffee and said, "I suspect that the piano teacher is only your scapegoat. Why on earth did you plot against me? "What on earth did I do to make you hate me so much? You have to spend so much effort to dig a hole for me to jump into."

Li Jie stared at me for a while, she suddenly lowered her head and laughed, the laughter made me shudder, "You don't believe me? Would you rather believe that woman who thinks about how to seduce my husband than to believe my close friend of almost ten years? "

"Don't try to change the way you think. Right now, you're avoiding answering because you're admitting to scheming against me?"

"I didn't plot against you." Li Jie said, "I only wanted to chase that woman away, the only thing I did not expect was that you would head downstairs first." Her tone was full of grievance, as if the one being tricked was her.

I looked at her and smiled. "Forget it, it's really boring. I don't want to fight with you anymore." I stood up to leave. That was the end of my so-called friendship with her.

"Xia Ying." Li Jie called out my name. She raised her head and looked at me with a light in her eyes that I had never seen before.

I looked deeply at Li Jie, and in the end, sat down.

"Yes, from the start, I did have a fluke mentality, because I was very jealous of you." Li Jie said in a low voice, "My husband really likes you, no, he admires you a lot." Li Jie laughed at herself.

I looked at her and didn't know what to say. What was there to be proud of when Zheng Xin admired her?

"I don't know why things turned out like this. I was clearly prettier than you in college, my grades were better than yours, I had already worked so hard to be happy, but in the end, I still couldn't get anything. But you, who is nothing, are much happier than me, so I sincerely hope that you are also not happy."

I looked at her and couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

"I envy you. I hope you suffer too." Li Jie said as she looked at me, her eyes shining with a strange light. "This is my wish."

I looked at her and then I got up and left. I finally knew what she was thinking.

"Ah Ying, I'm very disgusting to you, right?" "But I feel that this world is even more disgusting, why is it that I was born to suffer, why are you born to have everything, and what I work so hard to obtain, you can easily obtain. You don't even need it, this world is too unfair, your so-called troubles are all luxurious troubles to me."

I quickly walked outside. I didn't want to hear a single word from Li Jie right now, and I don't want to see her ever again. I wanted to immediately leave this café, and every word she said made me feel disgusted.

The two of us went outside, and she kept trying to pull me.

"Ah Ying, don't you remain silent." Li Jie's tears fell down uncontrollably, "I know I was wrong, I don't want to lose a friend like you." Li Jie grabbed my arm.

"Let me go." I shook my arm twice to get rid of her hand. I didn't dare to use too much strength.

"Ah Ying, forgive me." Li Jie took the opportunity to grab my arm.

"Let me go." I emphasized.

"Ah Ying, how can you forgive me?!" Li Jie shouted excitedly, at the moment there were many people gathered at the entrance of the coffee shop, and they were all pointing at me.

I seem to be the evil girl who bullies people.

I knew she was faking it.

"Enough, Li Jie." "Are you done yet?"

Li Jie's face was filled with tears as she looked at me, "Ah Ying, I'll kneel down in front of you." Li Jie said as she planned to kneel in front of the steps of the café.

"Li Jie!" I tried to lift her up, but before I could reach her, she tumbled down the stairs.

Amidst the shocked cries of the crowd, all I could see was her pale and frightened face and a smile that leaked out from the corner of her mouth.

Looking at Li Jie's expression, I couldn't help but shiver.
