Chapter 02: Killed by the scumbag ex-husband and his ungrateful son
"What little four?"
Li Fangfang held her stomach and took a step back, as if struck by lightning. Her face turned pale instantly, but her eyes were as big as copper bells. She stared at Zhong Qiao in disbelief, as if trying to find some flaws in her face.
However, Zhong Qiao's expression has been strangely calm and composed since she entered the door. She doesn't look like a poor woman who has been betrayed by her husband at all.
A mocking sneer appeared on Zhong Qiao's lips. "You have been having an affair with my husband for two years, so you naturally don't know that every two years there are women coming to my house asking for status."
"The girl from last year was from Shandong. She dated my ex-husband for three years and broke up with him in mid-1992. So naturally, you can only be ranked fourth."
Li Fangfang's body trembled slightly.
She didn't want to believe it, but looking at Zhong Qiao's clear and bright eyes, her intuition told her that this was true.
Li Fangfang gritted her teeth and angrily retorted, "You lunatic! You're talking nonsense!"
Zhong Qiao sneered again, this laugh filled with sadness and hatred: "I followed him when I was nineteen and gave birth to his children. Do you think I haven't heard such words? But what did I get in return? Only betrayal again and again!"
Looking at the young and beautiful girl in front of her, who was not much different in age from her, Zhong Qiao gradually calmed down. However, after calming down, a bitter feeling gradually arose in her heart.
She smiled bitterly: "Xu Shaojun told you that I didn't want to get a divorce? But I kept asking people to ask him to divorce me, but he just didn't want to. He kept dragging it on for three whole years."
"Li Fangfang, do you think he has feelings for me? No, he doesn't want to bear the stigma of abandoning his wife, and he doesn't want to divide the property even more."
"Men are naturally calculating. When you talk about feelings with them, they will only evaluate you from a businessman's perspective."
Li Fangfang's body was shaking more and more violently, like a dead leaf in the wind.
She was unsure.
This is not her and Xu Shaojun's first child.
In two years, she had an abortion and an accidental miscarriage. This was the third time.
After reading her medical records, the doctor told her bluntly that if she continued to have an abortion, it would be difficult for her to have children in the future given her physical condition. So she tried her best to give birth and marry Xu Shaojun, forcing him, and then they quarreled, and in the end Xu Shaojun disappeared without a trace.
She couldn't contact him at all, the man who once said he would love her forever.
At the end of 1993, after she made countless calls, Xu Shaojun finally answered the phone.
Li Fangfang cried and begged, just like she did every time they quarreled, and humbly said that she would never dare to force him again.
However, this time, his tone was no longer gentle and patient, but cold and he wanted to cut off contact with her.
She was stunned.
Then he suddenly remembered that Xu Shaojun always complained about how domineering and overbearing his wife was, so he asked her if she didn't want to divorce him.
Xu Shaojun didn't answer and hung up the phone directly.
But this silence made the woman on the verge of collapse feel like she had grabbed the last straw.
So, she thought about it for a long time, mustered up the courage, and chose to ask for a name for herself and her child while she was pregnant.
She thought, as long as Zhong Qiao was willing to divorce, who else could Xu Shaojun marry?
She already has his child.
His wife can only be himself.
But now, Zhong Qiao told her that she was never the only one.
Her plans were disrupted.
Zhong Qiao continued, "Li Fangfang, if he really loved you, why would he let you get pregnant without a wedding?"
"If he really loved you, why would he use deceptive means to contact you? Why didn't he tell you that he already had a wife and children?"
"If he loves you, why doesn't he dare to divorce me openly? Why is he still greedy?" She took a breath. "If he loves you, why would he let you come to him alone with a big belly to ask for a legitimate marriage? Isn't this the least a man should do?"
A series of rhetorical questions left Li Fangfang speechless.
After a while, her eyes were red and her tears were mixed with overwhelming hatred.
"Call Xu Shaojun right now! I want to see him. Otherwise, I'll jump off the teaching building with the baby in my belly!"
*
Xu Shaojun hurried back after receiving the call.
At this time, he was no longer the poor student who could not even afford to eat, but a university professor with dignified appearance and elegant demeanor, wearing hair oil.
After two and a half years of visiting here, his first reaction was to cover his nose and look disgusted.
This old and run-down house carries too many unbearable memories, reminding him of when he first came to Suzhou to study, and he and Zhong Qiao lived in this old and run-down house like rats crossing the street.
If he wasn't afraid that Li Fangfang would become upset and ruin the reputation he had worked so hard to build, he would never set foot here again in his life.
When Li Fangfang saw him, she wanted to scold him and question him, but she couldn't control her tears and fell.
Xu Shaojun suppressed the impatience in his eyes, put on a loving and gentle face, and stepped forward to wipe her tears: "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I just... haven't thought it through yet. I've been so busy lately that I can't get away at all. I miss you too, but I can only numb myself with work."
He took out a gold ring from his pocket affectionately and handed it to Li Fangfang.
"I'm sorry, Fangfang. As soon as I heard you were going to commit suicide, I rushed here immediately because I can't live without you. I can't live without you."
He pronounced his words with emphasis, tears in his eyes.
When Li Fangfang saw the gold ring, her mind froze for a moment, and she couldn't say the words she was about to question him.
Xu Shaojun couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
This woman is still as easy to fool as ever.
As a man, especially a good-looking man, as long as you speak in a gentle tone and find other excuses to show weakness, these women who are naturally full of maternal love will be eager to sacrifice themselves like moths to a flame. Otherwise, how could they be toyed with by you for two years, get pregnant, have two miscarriages, and still not learn their lesson?
Zhong Qiao watched him acting and snorted coldly.
Only then did Xu Shaojun glance at her out of the corner of his eye.
After more than ten years of marriage and youth together, she knows him too well.
He understood the weaknesses of little girls very well, and it was not difficult for him to control Li Fangfang. But for 34-year-old Zhong Qiao, these sweet words no longer worked.
Xu Shaojun nodded at her, with a polite distance: "Zhong Qiao, long time no see, how are you doing?"
It looked as if he was really saying hello to his former lover, and he appeared very respectable.
If Zhong Qiao had not been abused many times by him when she was pregnant, and once she accidentally knocked over a kettle and was almost beaten to the point of miscarriage, and the scars on her back from being scalded by boiling water still hurt slightly, she would probably have been deceived.
"Zhong Qiao, I'm hungry, hurry up and cook for me!"
After Xu Yulin finished playing a game, he kept swearing.
I turned my head and was stunned.
After a long while, he rushed up, his eyes full of ecstasy: "Dad! You're finally home!"
Zhong Qiao was extremely disappointed.
The cheating husband came to her house with her belly bulging to slap her in the face, but her good son turned a deaf ear to her. As soon as the scumbag ex-husband came back, he immediately became his bootlicker.
"Yulin, come here!"
She stopped him coldly.
Xu Yulin rolled her eyes. "Zhong Qiao, why are you trying to show off in front of me? My grandma said, if you hadn't been so arrogant and forced Dad to leave, how would Dad have found Aunt Li? You can't even hold on to your own husband's heart. You're a complete loser!"
Zhong Qiao felt that his blood had frozen at that moment.
His chest heaved violently, and he raised his hand, subconsciously slapping it on Xu Yulin's face. But this was his own child after all, and after he came to his senses, he retracted his strength and only lightly rubbed his face.
Xu Yulin had never suffered such injustice before. This was the first time he was beaten.
He was so angry that he pushed Zhong Qiao away like a calf.
He had already lost his mind and cursed for a long time. Zhong Qiao couldn't understand the curse words and screamed loudly: "You dirty woman, no wonder my father doesn't want you! You even slept with Mr. Li! You are unfaithful to your husband! Why don't you just die?"
Xu Shaojun's face changed drastically.
Zhong Qiao lost consciousness for a moment and was knocked to the ground by him, and his abdomen was in severe pain.
She ignored the pain and sat on the ground with a dull look in her eyes, a few words running wildly through her mind.
Mr. Li?
She suddenly remembered that two months ago, Xu Shaojun suddenly agreed to divorce her, but the condition was that she would accompany him to a drinking party as his wife.
She found it very strange, but because she was so eager to get the divorce certificate, she went. The drinking party looked normal, with both men and women present. The host was a middle-aged man named Li, who looked like a pig spirit.
I had a few drinks and felt dizzy.
Then he lost consciousness.
Afterwards, Zhong Qiao naturally thought that she had had a relationship with Xu Shaojun, but now Xu Yulin's words made her feel like she was struck by lightning.
After guessing the truth, Zhong Qiao felt dizzy and his world was falling apart.
She stood up trembling, pointing at the two, one big and one small. She didn't know whether she was extremely angry or extremely hateful, and her whole body seemed like she was possessed by an evil spirit.
"Your whole family are beasts! I'm going to call the police! I'm going to put you in jail!"
After he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
She couldn't help but retching and immediately struggled to pick up the phone.
Xu Yulin knew he had done something wrong and asked in a panic, "Dad, what should I do?"
Never call the police.
Otherwise they'd all be doomed.
He is still young and he doesn't want to go to jail!
Everything happened so fast.
The one who moved faster than her was Xu Shaojun, who had been silent the whole time.
He strode forward, stretched out his hands and grabbed Zhong Qiao's neck with lightning speed, throwing her to the ground.
"You found me." A ferocious look appeared on Xu Shaojun's face.
"But what can I do? Mr. Li likes married women, and you are useless anyway. Why not create some value for me?"
Zhong Qiao was thrown to the floor, and the back of his head hit hard, causing a buzzing sound in his brain. Before the pain spread throughout his body, he felt suffocated first.
Zhong Qiao stared at Xu Shaojun, struggling with his hands, his face flushed red.
This pretty and innocent face had deceived her for half her life, and now, he was even trying to kill her.
"Yu...Yulin."
Zhong Qiao turned his head with difficulty and looked at his son who was standing there in a daze.
“…Save…save me.”
She couldn't breathe.
After saying this, his eyes became bloodshot from being pinched.
Xu Yulin was at a loss, his mind full of thoughts about what to do.
Perhaps it is just before death that people can always unleash their enormous potential.
Given the huge disparity in physical fitness between men and women, Zhong Qiao only felt a surge of power in his arms, and he was able to grit his teeth and push away one of Xu Shaojun's hands.
She could breathe.
Like a fish that has lost its way and is exposed to the sun, it finally gets a moment of respite.
At this moment of difficulty breathing, Xu Shaojun called out: "Yulin, come and help."
Xu Yulin did not move.
He didn't want to do it himself, because if someone was killed and sentenced, he would be implicated.
Xu Shaojun frowned and turned his head and said, "Dad bought her an insurance policy in your name. As long as Zhong Qiao dies, all the money will be yours, and you can still live with Dad. Isn't that good?"
After a long time, Xu Yulin finally moved.
He seemed to have made up his mind completely. He sat astride Zhong Qiao's abdomen and stretched out his hands to cover Zhong Qiao's mouth and nose tightly.
The big one and the small one, at this moment, seem to be carved from the same mold.
Xu Shaojun was about to continue exerting force, but unexpectedly found that the woman had lost all strength to resist.
Zhong Qiao looked at Xu Yulin in despair, with snot and tears streaming down his face.
Since the son wants to kill his mother.
As a mother, all I have to do is help her.
I only regret that I didn't know people well enough! I didn't teach my son well! It's all my fault!
Li Fangfang didn't know the whole story.
She was frightened and fell to the ground.
"You can't kill her! You can't kill her!" She crawled over with her big belly, trying to stop him. "We can't kill anyone! Let her go."
Her ex-husband and son wanted to kill her, and the only person who pleaded for her was her extramarital affair.
That's so funny.
Zhong Qiao slowly closed his eyes.
She felt her life slipping away, her body becoming lighter and lighter as it floated upwards, with white light appearing before her eyes.
So, is this going to die?
Is this life of one wrong step after another finally coming to an end?
Accompanied by a crisp snap and the sound of bones dislocated.
In an instant, a large number of images flooded into Zhong Qiao's mind, covering her long life like a passing tour.
At the age of eighteen, the female teacher who admired her talent the most looked at her with regret.
She said that among all the roads in the world, turning back is the hardest. When you come to your senses, what was once within your reach may have become a matter of regret. You have a talent for literature. Do you really want to give up studying?
She nodded.
My younger brother chased after me crying.
"Don't go, sister! You'll regret it!"
She softened her heart and wanted to go back.
Xu Shaojun beside her held her hand tightly, his voice as cold as a poisonous snake.
"Zhong Qiao, you are pregnant. If other people knew about this, would your family still have any shame? You have no choice but to come with me."
This departure will last for most of my life.
I don’t know how my younger brother is doing in Hong Kong.
At that time, he was only a few years younger than me, in his third year of high school, still so young.
How could she bear to abandon him and his mother?
Then, she thought of her daughter Xu Siwan.
Because Xu Shaojun's mother favored boys over girls, her daughter had a hard life since childhood.
Last year, when she was studying, she was deceived by a man eleven years older than her with a few roses. He eloped to Guizhou for half a year, following in her footsteps.
Over the years, she missed her daughter so much that she went crazy, and she went to visit her often. Later, the man was afraid that he would lose the wife he had finally deceived, so he moved away with his daughter.
The Xu family felt ashamed and didn't allow her to mention this matter...
It’s been half a year. I wonder how her Wanwan is doing?
If there were a pill to make her regret, she would really like to make amends to those she owed. Would the ending be different?
