Qing City, in a café in the city, Cheng Su and Hualing sat facing each other.
Cheng Su handed over two more paper napkins to Hualing, sighing inwardly.
Hualing took them and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.
"Isnât it funny?" Hualing suddenly said, laughing self-deprecatingly, "I still confidently told you that Chen Shouwang wouldnât dare to mess around outside, that he didnât have the guts. But the truth is..."
She patted her own face and said, "My face, slapped hard by my own words, isnât it hilarious?"
Cheng Su felt a pang of distress and said, "Donât be like this!"
She was not good at comforting others, especially with such a mess where anything said seemed pale and meaningless.
For a moment, Cheng Su didnât know what to say, thinking of what Chen Shouwang had said that day, she asked, "Are you pregnant?"
"Yes!" Hualing showed a bitter smile and said, "Iâve been longing for a child for so long, I didnât expect him to come at this time. Do you think the heavens are playing tricks on me? Not coming sooner or later, but right now."
That woman has a child, and now I have a child too. Haha, isnât that a pretty ridiculous joke?
Hualingâs tears fell again.
"Really dramatic!" Cheng Su muttered, inwardly cursing Chen Shouwang as a real scumbag.
"So whatâs your plan? Now, youâve dealt with the Fox Spirit, and you have a child. This thing needs to be resolved." Cheng Su asked her, "And whatâs Chen Shouwangâs attitude?"
Hualing sneered, "Him? He begs me every day not to divorce!"
"What about that woman? Whatâs his stance?"
"He says heâll break it off with her, make her get rid of that bastard child, and wonât do anything to betray me again. But once a manâs done such disgraceful things, who wouldnât say? Once unfaithful, always unacceptable. Can I trust him?" Hualing huffed.
Cheng Su pursed her lips, not knowing what to say. She had heard that infidelity has only zero and countless times, so she didnât know how to respond.
"Youâve heard what that woman said, only then did I realize how much resentment he had against me. But if he was looking, he should at least find someone better than me, right? Look at that woman, sheâs a widow and has a daughter. Why doesnât he find that repulsive?" Hualing fumed, this was something she couldnât understand; if that woman were prettier, smarter, more dignified, she could have accepted it, but it was such a person.
Cheng Su coughed and said, "As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder... " Catching Hualingâs icy glare, she quickly changed her words, "I mean, two peopleâs meeting is also arranged by heaven, just happening to meet at that time. As they say, when a toad sees a green bean, they look eye to eye, itâs probably this, regardless of whether the other person is good or bad."
"Whose side are you on?" Hualing was furious.
"Of course yours, we are the original wifeâs side, we must defend our rights. So I ask you, what are you thinking, what will you do?" Cheng Su immediately said.
"I donât know!" Hualing looked dejected.
"But you just said you would never divorce, that youâd drag that woman to death?" Cheng Su said.
Hualing glared over, "Normally you seem so smart, but canât you see I was bashing her? That lowlife stealed my man, can I let her have it easy? What does it mean to fight until the end, donât you understand?"
Uh, well, she really didnât understand, if it were her, if Qi Taiguo had really cheated, sheâd be too lazy to go settle accounts with the so-called mistress, not wanting to lower herself.
