Meng Sheng and Shang Bo Yu have been in love for three years and married for three years. They were inseparable, and he loved her dearly, treating her with warmth and gentleness.
Until one da...
Meng Sheng left the hotel with heavy steps.
After entering the elevator, it seemed as if all the strength in my body was drained away.
So, did Shang Boyu really cheat?
She didn't want to believe it, but the facts forced her to doubt it.
How could it be such a coincidence?
Shang Boyu stood her up at the last minute, and Ning Weiwei happened to be on the 14th floor of Jinzhou Hotel as mentioned in the text message, and she just happened to be meeting her so-called boyfriend in Room 1408.
If so, when did they start?
How did it start?
She didn't wait outside the hotel. Knowing that she had been there, Ning Weiwei would definitely inform Shang Boyu and ask him not to come again.
On the way back, a light drizzle began to fall.
It's early autumn and the temperature has started to drop.
When she got home, Shang Boyu called her, but she didn't answer it. She parked the car and went into the house.
Shang Boyu heard the noise and hurried over, "Why are you working overtime so late?"
Before she could say anything, he had already hugged her and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, honey, I broke my promise today."
Meng Sheng felt a little numb.
A thought flashed through his mind: Has he ever hugged Ning Weiwei like this to coax her?
But she couldn't imagine that scene.
My heart hurts.
Shang Boyu lowered his eyes to look at her, squeezed her palm, and said softly, "Let's rebook the restaurant and eat there tomorrow, okay? We'll also buy new movie tickets."
Meng Sheng looked at him admitting his mistake, with his eyebrows drooping. He was so humble, sincere and earnest.
He is usually like this. As long as there is a little conflict, no matter whether he is right or wrong, he will be the first to bow his head and apologize and coax her.
Six years like day.
Now, she was indeed not angry, but there was only confusion and struggle in her mind and heart.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter where you eat. Your cooking skills are no worse than those in restaurants outside. That movie was just released yesterday. You can go watch it anytime."
Shang Boyu smiled gently, his tone full of doting and helplessness, "You, too, lose your temper with me. I feel even more guilty for always being so considerate. Have you eaten dinner? Do you want me to make something for you?"
He is handsome, gentle, and considerate, but Meng Sheng still cannot completely reconcile the two parts of him loving her and betraying her.
It always feels so unreal.
In an instant, many scenes of the two of them in the past flashed through his mind.
She remembered that in the first year they were together, he set off fireworks for her for half an hour, and swore loudly on the hour, "Meng Sheng, I will definitely make you the happiest woman in the world."
Every New Year's Eve thereafter, he would give her different surprises.
Another time, she was sick in winter and had a fever. Halfway through their drive, the car was blocked by snow, so he carried her on his back for nearly two kilometers. In the end, he himself caught a cold and had to stay in the hospital for more than a week before being discharged.
He himself is a person who is allergic to cat hair, but because she liked the cat, he bought her a heterochromatic doll on her 25th birthday. During the time when he kept the cat at home, he always sneezed and had rhinitis. Finally, Meng Sheng couldn't stand it anymore and sent the cat to Ning Weiwei to raise.
Unfortunately, within a year, the cat contracted infectious peritonitis and could not be saved despite more than half a month of treatment.
All these efforts replayed in her mind like slides.
Meng Sheng has always been very convinced that he loves her very much.
It is because of him that love has always been a beautiful and pure existence in her heart.
I never thought how sad and ridiculous it would be if it was defiled one day.
I have never thought about what kind of mood I would be in when I face all this one day.
Shang Boyu saw her lost in thought, and the hand holding her waist unconsciously tightened a little. He lowered his eyes and asked softly, "What's wrong, wife?"
"I've eaten tonight, I'm not hungry." She came back to her senses, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, pursed her lips, and tried to make her voice sound softer, "I'm just thinking about one thing."
"Um?"
"I came back late today because I went to Jinzhou Hotel on the way." She took out a note from her bag, "This number called me and said that they saw you entering the hotel with a woman in your arms, so I stopped by."
On the way back, her sanity slowly returned.
But once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will soon be nourished and grow into towering trees. Their lush and dense branches and leaves will block out the sunlight, leaving only shade in the heart.
Her heart and her emotions couldn't help but look forward to Shang Boyu.
I hope this is all just a misunderstanding.
She even hoped that he would take the initiative to confess and explain to her.
The note contained the number from which she was texted.
She checked two days ago and found that the number did not exist at all.
She didn't know why she couldn't find it, but it could be used as a weapon to test Shang Boyu.
What if, what if they all really betrayed me?
Shang Boyu frowned, took the note from her, and glanced at it, "Do you know this person?"
“I don’t know him.”
"Is it a man or a woman?"
Meng Sheng really didn’t know this, after all, it was a text message he received.
She pursed her lips and could only make up a story, "It's a man, and he sounds like he has a Beijing accent. He's not very old, probably around 30 years old."
Shang Boyu looked solemn as he put away the note and said, "Leave this matter to me. I will investigate it thoroughly."
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes to glance at Meng Sheng, hugged her again, and asked in a low voice, "Wife, do you believe me?"
Not sure if it was because his acting skills had already reached perfection, or if he was just a man of integrity, but Meng Sheng didn’t notice anything unusual on his face.
It was so calm and natural, even the surprise was only a fleeting moment.
Meng Sheng raised his hand to his chest, pretending to be serious, but his tone was not very steady, "Then will you betray me?"
She stared at him closely, not wanting to miss any emotion in his eyes.
Shang Boyu was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared in his eyes. He grabbed her finger and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
"What?"
"People say I'm Meng Shengnao." Shang Boyu chuckled and kissed the back of her hand devoutly, his voice low and hoarse, "I thought about it, and it's true. Shengsheng, in this life, I only love you, and I can't give any extra love to others."
The more tenderly and affectionately he spoke, the more uncomfortable Meng Sheng felt.
She had heard his sweet words many times over the years and felt so happy and sweet in the past. But why did she feel it was hypocritical and unreal now?
Will he really not share his love with others?
Hasn’t he ever said these words to Ning Weiwei?
"Well, you're so good to me and love me so much, I will definitely believe you."
Meng Sheng's voice and heart suddenly felt empty. He smiled and looked up, his eyes full of happiness and joy, quite lively, but a little ethereal and unreal. "Do you still remember the vows we made at the Bodhi Temple when we got married?"
Shang Boyu was slightly stunned, then said slowly, "Of course I remember."
"Well, you said that if someone betrays someone's sincerity, he will definitely swallow ten thousand silver needles. So I won't believe those alarmist words."
That was two days before their wedding when they went to the Bodhi Temple to fulfill a vow. Shang Boyu held her hand and spoke to the Buddha statue.
"Um."
Shang Boyu raised his hand and held her in his arms, quickly hiding the pain that was about to overflow from his eyes. His gentle voice was filled with deep affection, as if he wanted to hypnotize himself and Meng Sheng.
"Shengsheng, I love you. How could I bear to let you down? We will grow old together."
Meng Sheng said nothing and let him hold her.
Yes, he loved her, how could he bear to let her down and see her sad?
The vows and love they made seemed to be just yesterday, but now they were covered by a layer of mist, making them no longer accessible to her.
Can they really have white hair?
My previous firm belief was finally shaken.
The faint scent of pinewood, which she was already familiar with, lingered at the tip of her nose.
Suddenly, she felt an unprecedented sense of rejection. After calming down, she stepped out of his embrace and put on a smile. "Okay, we are already an old couple, so don't express your feelings. I have to go upstairs to take a shower."
Shang Boyu smiled and pinched her nose gently, "How can we be an old married couple? We have only been married for three years. Don't even mention three years. In the next thirty or forty years, I will still say I love you."
Meng Sheng laughed, patted his arm, and glared at him, "You are so lazy. I still have work to do. You can go to bed first and don't have to wait for me."
"Let's get busy tomorrow. We haven't seen each other for a long time..."
Shang Boyu held her, and a hint of desire appeared in his eyes, which were always warm and affectionate.
This is a starting signal.
Meng Sheng knew what he wanted to do, and the grudge in her heart told her to refuse.
She pretended to sigh and said, "There will be more things to do tomorrow."
Shang Boyu knew that the art museum was preparing for a solo exhibition of a famous young female painter next month, so she, as the director, had to work overtime for a long time.
I could only let go helplessly, "Okay, it can't be too late, take care of yourself."
Meng Sheng said "hmm", turned around and went straight to the study. Just as he closed the door, his body had not yet recovered from the tense emotions when a text message sounded from his mobile phone.
She paused and quickly took out her cell phone from her bag.
It was still that familiar number.
[Yuelan Mansion, 11 villas, is a gift from Shang Boyu to Ning Weiwei with your common property during marriage, worth 27 million.]
Meng Sheng's breathing stopped immediately and his eyes froze.
Yuelan Mansion is a high-end villa community that was launched in May this year.
It is famous for its good location and unique design, and it has been almost booked halfway through the construction period.
If it's true, could it be that the two of them have been...
Meng Sheng bit her lip. She had no mind to work anymore. Her heart was already in turmoil due to feelings of uneasiness and anxiety.
Also successfully insomnia.
I fell asleep just as dawn broke, and when I woke up, it was already half past eight.
When she went downstairs, Shang Boyu had already finished breakfast and was waiting for her to get up.
She was surprised, "Why haven't you gone to the company yet?"
"Seeing you get up so late, I'm a little worried. Were you busy until late last night?" Shang Boyu walked over, his eyes full of worry, "Why do you look so bad?"
"No, maybe my sleep quality has been a little poor recently."
"How about having breakfast later and then going back to sleep for a while, and then going to the art museum in the afternoon."
"Okay." Meng Sheng smiled and looked at his watch. "It's almost nine o'clock. You should go to the company quickly."
Before Shang Boyu left, he still told her, "You must have a good rest, understand?"
Meng Sheng watched him leave and ate her breakfast leisurely. She didn't rush to the art museum, but drove to Yuelan Mansion.
I originally wanted to confirm whether the apartment was under Ning Weiwei's name.
But before the car stopped, a familiar black Cayenne was seen from a distance of more than ten meters.
It was exactly the same car that Shang Bo drove out of his house a few minutes ago.
Next to the car stood two figures kissing passionately.
Meng Sheng's pupils shrank suddenly and his brain suddenly froze.
Although the distance was a bit far and she couldn't see the faces of the two people kissing passionately, she could never forget the blue coat on Shang Boyu.
Because that was the gift she gave him on his birthday last year.
If those text messages only made her doubt and uneasy, this scene was like a death sentence, pushing her into the abyss.
It was like a sharp blade for slow execution, cutting her flesh and blood again and again, attacking the depths of her soul.
After a long while, seeing that the two people still didn't separate, she loosened her clenched fists, sniffed, took out her mobile phone, turned on the camera, zoomed in, and two familiar profiles came into view. The disappointment in her eyes fell in strings of cold tears.
They are Shang Boyu and Ning Weiwei.
The man who was caring for her and worried about her at home just a few minutes ago was now here wearing the clothes she gave him, hugging another woman and kissing her passionately.
The chest cavity seemed to be filled with a heavy wool cocoon, and breathing was like being trapped in a small space, which only brought endless suffocation and oppression.
Meng Sheng pulled the corners of her mouth awkwardly, and with trembling hands, she pressed the shutter button a few times randomly without clicking into the album. At that moment, she just wanted to escape from this place as quickly as possible.
How does it feel to be betrayed by the two people closest to you?
Meng Sheng couldn't put it into words, nor did he dare to think about it. It was just that at this moment there was a place in his heart that felt very sour and swollen, and there were also dense and fine pains coming at him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
It turned out that she was the only one who was kept in the dark like a fool, and she thought that one of them really loved her and the other really treated her well.
How could he be so stupid as not to notice any clues?
She remembered that three years ago, when Shang Boyu proposed to her, the weather was also good like today.
The hot air balloon slowly rose up. When it was halfway up, she looked down and saw a line of words made up of roses: Meng Sheng, will you marry me?
She was stunned where she was, while Shang Boyu knelt on one knee on the hot air balloon. In the ring box lay a two-carat diamond ring, and there were his affectionate and gentle eyes.
He said, "Shengsheng, marry me. I will love you and treat you well for the rest of my life, and I will never let you shed a single tear."
Yes, during the three years of dating and the three years of marriage, he took great care of her.
Except for the unexpected death of her mother last year, she has never cried.
For her, these six years have been filled with happiness, sweetness, and endless joy and enjoyment.
Who who knows them would not say that they are a harmonious and loving couple?
But what is it now?
She smiled at herself, her tears rolling harder and harder, her vision almost blurred, she couldn't see the road ahead, and she was forced to stop the car on the side of the road.
bite!
The phone in the bag rang again.
Meng Sheng's heart seemed to be pulled by something, and his heart suddenly tightened. He took out his cell phone: [Go to Suixing Law Firm to find Pei Sui, he can help you. ]
