Chapter 18

We took the elevator to the underground garage and broke up to find our car

It seems Mingxue is not doing well. His wife pouted as soon as she got in the car

Didn’t you talk about your own lives during the party?

Alas, now it seems that she was reporting good news but not bad news. Before today, I only knew that she came to Shanghai from her hometown to work, with her husband loving her and a daughter kissing her. Who knew that there were so many things behind her

Looking at my wife's expression of heartache, I couldn't bear to tell my wife about the scene where Men Guoyu had no money to buy the bill I saw just now.

Okay, every family has difficult sutras. God is fair to everyone. No one will go well, and no one will go bad.

I remembered that Zhao Mingxue had said before that she had warned her wife to be careful of being hurt, so she asked casually

By the way, have you two contacted each other this week?

I'll say hello often

Just a greeting?

A trace of suspicion flashed across his wife's face. What do you want to ask?

I was shocked. My wife has become sensitive now. My few words have attracted her attention.

Oh, nothing, I mean I've basically never contacted wild dogs this week. Even if I occasionally chat on WeChat, I don't know where to start, but I've been talking all the time together today. I don't know if you feel the same as us.

The wife then said relieved: It's almost the same. I really don't know what to say when I haven't seen anyone, but when I see that face, I feel that I can't finish it for three days and three nights.

It seems that my wife is not going to tell me about that for some purpose. Maybe she thinks that Zhao Mingxue is too worried, or maybe she wants to solve it herself again. I can't help but look forward to Zhao Mingxue taking time to come out to meet her tomorrow.

The next day, I waited for the ringtone of my cell phone to ring since I woke up, but it didn't ring until noon. Instead, my wife answered two calls in the morning, one was called by her parents, and the other didn't know who it was. I couldn't hear anything from my wife's answer. This is nothing in normal times. I am not a person who doesn't leave a personal space for my partner, but today I am very sensitive.

Finally my phone rang!

Hello, I suppressed my emotions when I looked at the familiar numbers

It’s me, I can come out now, can you pick me up at the entrance of the community?

Oh, come out to talk about Ah? Yes, it's OK, it's okay now, but don't be too long, my wife is at home alone, I pretended to say a few words and hung up the phone

Who Ah? The wife asked

Oh, it's Lao Jin, Shi Mengyun also wants to dig him out and ask me to talk to him. I've already talked about this the day before yesterday. I guess I'll talk to me about the follow-up today. I've made an excuse I've thought of a long time ago

Oh, then are you coming back for supper? The wife asked

It's only one more time now, and it won't take long. What kind of dishes do you want to eat? I'll bring some back later.

My wife ordered two cooked dishes she liked and I went out

The two communities of our two families are four intersections apart. The road was empty on Sunday afternoon. I arrived near their community less than ten minutes after going out. I saw a tall figure standing on the side of the road from afar. I parked in front of her like a taxi being raided. Zhao Mingxue looked around sneakily and then opened the car door and jumped into the car.

Go quickly, I seem to see my mother-in-law. Zhao Mingxue got in the car and was a little panicked

I became a little guilty due to her emotions. I knew Men Guoyu’s mother. If she saw her daughter-in-law sneaking into the car of an old colleague’s son, would I explain clearly?

My car seemed to be influenced by me. The car that started using electricity quietly drove out like a ghostly person. I almost bumped into an old couple who didn't notice a car nearby and was about to cross the road, which scared us both.

I know there is a nearby tea room where you can park. Let's go there. I asked when I got on the road.

Oh, it's up to you

In just five or six minutes, we entered the tea room along the street. The waiter enthusiastically wanted to lead us to the window, but we waved our hands almost at the same time and insisted on finding a hidden corner. Maybe we didn't look like couples or couples, but more like a couple of lovers. The waiter showed an ambiguous smile and led us to a small private room covered by curtains. I no longer refused.

Didn't you tell Xinyue that you came to see me? Zhao Mingxue asked

How is it possible? I tested her tone yesterday, but she didn't tell me what I had told you

Zhao Mingxue smiled bitterly, have you seen all the videos?

I nodded

Sorry, let you see our ugly appearance

I really want to say something. It's not ugly. You are very beautiful and have a good figure. But I can't say this frivolous and joking word.

Was it the one Zhang Weiyi photographed?

Zhao Mingxue nodded

You don't know he took a photo?

She nodded anyway

What happened to me suddenly, did he threaten you with the video?

Zhao Mingxue looked up at me, then lowered her head or nodded

Did he coerce you to do something? Then he would coerce Xinyue?

He said he asked me to accompany him once, otherwise he would send the video to my husband

My face became gloomy, as if I had already figured out the scene where he made the same request to his wife.

You don’t know what I have encountered this week. I can’t tell my husband that I have no friends in Shanghai, and I don’t have anyone to tell me. Zhao Mingxue said and cried in a low voice.

Her sudden cry made me feel helpless. If my wife was sitting opposite me, I would rush over and hug her in my arms to comfort her, but she was not, so I can't

Instead of comforting her immediately, I asked her to vent for a while before handing her two tissues, and then said gently: So I'm sitting here, I'll listen to you

Zhao Mingxue took the tissue and thanked her. Her dress today was much more casual than last night. Her hair was released, but she still couldn't stop her charming young woman's temperament.

I remember when I was watching the video, they said that you have played this kind of game before. Among these people, only Xinyue participated in it for the first time. Why didn’t Zhang Weiyi talk about this before, but this time...

Zhao Mingxue smiled bitterly again, and I blamed me for playing this game with them once before, but I never participated again after giving birth to Nini. This time I didn't want to participate, but I couldn't help but slander them and I still came out. Xinyue was still invited by me. She lowered her head again.

I asked calmly: You know they have such a dirty game, but Xinyue still lets you go with you even though you know they have such a dirty game.

Zhao Mingxue heard the blame in my tone, I'm sorry, it's me

I really want to say a few more words to vent my anger, but I think of the many experiences of this woman in life, my daughter's stubborn disease that is hard to cure, the poor relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the heavy sigh that my husband can't even get a few hundred yuan in food, I feel soft. I shouldn't treat her as an enemy, but an ally

Alas, forget it, I don't blame you, Xinyue herself is also a carefree guy, and she will blame herself if she wants to blame

Zhao Mingxue looked up at me unexpectedly

We won't pursue this, let's talk to me about your experience and why you sent me a video.

Zhao Mingxue sniffed and said: I really regret it now. If I ignored his threat, I might have been scolded by Guoyu and beaten at most. But I surrendered at that time. I went to the hotel and were played with by them like prostitutes. In order to get the video back, I would like to cater to them. But who knew that they actually made it into a video and asked me to accompany him. I was getting deeper and deeper! She held her forehead in pain.

Did you... accompany that customer later? I said this with difficulty

She lowered her head and nodded. The video in his hand could make me swept out. If you make such a mistake, you must leave the house with nothing. The court will not award my daughter to me, but Guoyu will not take care of the children at all. My mother-in-law favors boys over girls and always wants her grandson to keep staring at me for giving birth to a second child, so Nini can't do without me.

I was so self-inflicted when things came to this point. After all, they didn't want to force me to death. The next and last task they gave me was to pull Xinyue into the water, but... But I really can't do this kind of thing, but if I tell Xinyue directly that they will not let me go, I can only remind Xinyue to be careful of them, but I don't know if she listened to it. I thought about it and could only remind you in this way, hoping that you can have a way to protect your wife. Actually, I knew you had watched the video yesterday but didn't blame Xinyue, and I knew she would be fine, because she had such a good husband.

So what do you think I should do next?

Regardless of whether they contact Xinyue or not, you will show off with her as soon as possible after you go back and tell her that you have watched the video, so that their threat will be invalid.

I took a sip of tea, what should you do?

What else can I do? I said it, I cheated it, I can't do it if I don't fall for it, and I have other tasks, and they won't do anything to me for a while.

I frowned, who else did they ask you to deceive?

She shook her head, I wasn't lying to anyone, I don't know why I was so unlucky, I actually ran into them in the company. It turned out that they stayed in Shanghai this time to discuss a project with our company. After Zhang Weiyi knew that I was working there, she asked me to steal the company's bidding plan for him. Speaking of this, she smiled bitterly, I am just a small employee, I have no ability to get the bidding plan, but they don't care, and if they can't do it, I will be ruined.
