Lured into the Abyss

Married for two years, my husband showered me with immense affection. A video, however, shattered my existing happiness.

As an anonymous 블랙mailer relentlessly extorted me, I unexpectedly ...

Chapter 47 Mother-in-law's Birthday Party

Zhao Xian’s birthday party was held on Saturday at noon, and the hotel was near the shopping mall.

I pondered it in my mind and told the salesperson, "Then I'll come pick it up on Saturday morning."

"Sure, we open at 9:30 on Saturday morning, and I will pack it for you in a gift box in advance." The shopping guide swiped my card for me and enthusiastically saw me out the door.

In the next few days, I buried my head in work and felt that my hair was falling out more than before.

There was nothing unusual about Lu Zhiyuan. He went from the company to home and returned home on time.

I have to believe what Qiu Qiu said. Q should not be in the capital now, so Lu Zhiyuan can be so free.

Saturday came in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Lu Zhiyuan drove to pick up his parents-in-law and took them to the hotel.

He felt sorry for my hard work and let me sleep until I woke up naturally. I accepted it with peace of mind.

I slept until ten o'clock, got up, put on some makeup, and drove to the mall to pick up the cheongsam.

The shopping guide packaged it very well, and the bright red box embroidered with gold thread looked extremely exquisite.

When I arrived at the hotel with the gifts, some relatives, friends and guests had already arrived.

Zhao Xian stood in the crowd, with light makeup on her face and her hair tied up. She looked energetic and pulled Lu Zhiyuan beside her, showing off to her relatives and friends.

Just then, Lu Zhiyuan saw me.

He walked towards me with a smile, took my hand and went to meet Zhao Xian.

"Happy birthday, Mom." I said with a forced smile.

Zhao Xian's smile froze, and she was clearly displeased with me. She said sarcastically, "Thank you! I heard Zhiyuan say you've been busy with your job promotion lately. Why are you here so early? You could have come around lunchtime, too!"

"Mom, Xiaoshan went to get a gift for you." Lu Zhiyuan chimed in.

In the past, Zhao Xian’s words might have left me at a loss.

But now, I feel extremely indifferent.

I handed her the gift and deliberately smiled innocently: "Thank you for your concern, Mom. Maybe young people just tend to sleep in a little. When I reach your age, I should be able to wake up early."

Zhao Xian was so angry that she blew her nose and glared, but because there were too many guests, she couldn't get angry. She could only take my gift and put it on the table behind her.

At this time, two familiar figures walked in from outside the gate.

It turned out to be Liu Yuan, and Yuan Yaxin was with him.

I am not surprised that Liu Yuan is here. After all, he and Lu Zhiyuan are partners.

However, how could Yuan Yaxin, who was already planning to divorce Liu Yuan, be willing to come with him?

I thought, maybe she was like me, with something unfinished and had to continue performing the disgusting drama.

"Aunt, I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains!" Liu Yuan quickly stepped forward to greet Zhao Xian.

Beside her, Yuan Yaxin handed over an exquisite little box and said with a faint smile, "Auntie, happy birthday."

"Oh, I'm so happy that you can come. Why give me a gift? It's really too expensive!" Zhao Xian said enthusiastically. She looked at Yuan Yaxin, then at Liu Yuan, with a smile on her face. "You kid, you have such a beautiful wife, but you only brought her to your aunt now."

"She used to work abroad, and she just returned home, so I brought her here to celebrate your birthday," Liu Yuan said, his words sweet as he opened the gift box like a treasure. "This is a gift we picked especially for you. I wonder if you like it?"

What was inside was the priceless jade bracelet that I picked out with Yuan Yaxin at the mall that day.

Zhao Xian's eyes lit up when she saw it, and after trying it on, she was reluctant to take it off.

She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, but Lu Zhiyuan beside her had a serious expression.
