Chapter 85: Getting Close to a Rich Man
He helped me take the suitcase out of the trunk and said, "Baby, when you're ready, I'll come meet your parents. Then you can use the things I bought for you openly."
This time when I went home, I didn't dare take any of the things he bought for me home.
The suitcase is the one I’ve used for more than three years. If my mother knew that I had a suitcase worth tens of thousands of dollars, the consequences would be terrible just thinking about it.
I was about to turn around and leave, but after a moment's hesitation, I turned back and said, "By the way, if you find out anything about my dad, please tell me. I can handle whatever the outcome is."
He kissed me on the forehead and said, "Okay, I'll tell you when I have news. If you need to go back to City A, tell me a day in advance and I'll pick you up."
"Also, please don't call me while I'm at home, especially don't video call me."
I must never let my parents know that I am dating a divorced man, otherwise I will be in big trouble.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, but you can't not reply to my messages, okay? Otherwise, I'll just come over to visit my parents-in-law."
This guy actually threatened me. I was very angry, but there was nothing I could do. I felt he was capable of doing this.
His car didn't leave until I entered the community gate.
I always feel like something is not right. When I'm with him, I'm always so relaxed that I don't use my brain. But when he's not around, my IQ starts to return.
It was only after I went to high school that my family moved to our current community, a brand new duplex apartment.
The address on the school's admission information and my ID card information was the previous address, but he not only knew that I lived in this community, but was also very familiar with the route, as if... he had been here many times.
I must be overthinking it. How could he have been here so many times? Maybe he has been to T City many times and is familiar with the route.
I used my fingerprint to unlock the door and went in. It was past three in the afternoon and my parents were not at home.
But I could hear someone talking upstairs. Strange, could it be that my mom wasn't at work today? I put on my slippers and tiptoed upstairs. My room door was open, and a familiar girl's voice came from inside. It was my cousin Deng Sisi.
It sounded like she was talking to someone on the phone, her voice was soft and sticky.
“…Didn’t you come back with my cousin?
...Break up? Why? Oh, I know my cousin can be unreasonable sometimes. You've known each other for so long, why don't you just be a little more considerate of her?
...What? My cousin hooked up with a rich man? Ah~ Or an old man with a family? No way, how could my cousin be such a person?
...Alas, she was spoiled by my uncle and has been used to spending money lavishly since she was a child. My aunt restricted her living expenses, but I didn't expect that she would become a mistress of a rich man. This is too embarrassing.
Brother Zicheng, please don't tell anyone, or my cousin will be too embarrassed to see anyone."
The more I listened on the stairs, the colder my heart grew. I had never known that Deng Sisi and Liang Zicheng had any private contact. The only time they had contact as far as I could remember was when Liang Zicheng came to my house for dinner during the winter break of my sophomore year, and Deng Sisi happened to be there too. When did they exchange contact information?
Deng Sisi was talking happily and didn't notice that I was standing at the door. She was still holding the phone and scolding me along with Liang Zicheng.
"Why are you in my room?" I pushed open the door and asked coldly.
