Chapter 4: Deserted by Friends



The woman Lu Zhiyuan cheated with is my sister?

After this ridiculous thought came to my mind, I felt cold all over from head to toe.

I stared at Lan Feng, her figure intertwined with the images in the elevator surveillance video.

Lan Feng is 1.6 meters tall and never dyes her hair. Her hair is always straight and black. But on weekdays, she always wears her hair down. I rarely see her with a ponytail, let alone with makeup like today.

I stared at her lively eyes, and couldn't help but recall that when Lu Zhiyuan first met Lan Feng, he mentioned that our eyes looked very similar.

What should I do if the woman Lu Zhiyuan cheated with is really Lan Feng?

The two people closest to me betrayed me.

I find myself unable to accept this cruel truth. I feel like I am the only fool in the world!

"Xiao Shan, what are you talking about? Your brother-in-law treats you so well, of course he wouldn't cheat on you." Lan Feng laughed awkwardly.

I said absentmindedly, "Your earrings are beautiful."

Hearing this, Lan Feng reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear and boasted, "Xiaoyu gave it to me. She bought it with her winter vacation job salary."

I looked at her smug expression and got goosebumps all over my body.

I didn't believe what she said. I even wondered in my heart if this pair of gold earrings was a gift from Lu Zhiyuan.

"The food will be ready soon, go call your brother-in-law." Seeing that I was staring at her, Lan Feng's eyes dodged unnaturally and she drove me out of the kitchen.

She made four dishes and a soup today, most of which were Lu Zhiyuan's favorites.

I was so distracted during the meal that Lu Zhiyuan had just put down his chopsticks when Lan Feng attentively took his bowl. "There's still hot soup in the kitchen. I'll get you another bowl. Xiao Shan said you were working overtime on New Year's Eve. You should take care of yourself!"

Watching Lan Feng's back as she hurried into the kitchen, I couldn't control myself and said to Lu Zhiyuan with a half-smile, "Look how much my sister cares about you. She's ten times more considerate than my wife, isn't she?"

"You marry a wife to love her, and I don't want you to worry about me." Lu Zhiyuan smiled and pinched my face when he heard that.

After dinner, Lu Zhiyuan went back to the study to continue working, and Lan Feng took me downstairs for a walk.

She seemed to be in a good mood today, and greeted people in the community with a cheerful smile along the way.

After getting out of the elevator, I absentmindedly walked with her around the neighborhood.

Several times, I wanted to ask Lan Feng directly who she was with in the early morning of New Year's Eve?

Near the building where she lived, Lan Feng pulled me to a deserted corner and told me seriously, "Xiao Shan, if you send money to Q, remember to tell me immediately."

Why did she keep trying to convince me to send money to Q?

I was stunned, and thinking about what had happened before, a more terrifying guess came to my mind.

Are Lan Feng and Q in the same group?

If Lu Zhiyuan really cheated on Lan Feng, then her and Q's collusion to blackmail me would be obvious.

If my guess is correct, once I give her the 100,000 yuan, she will use the transfer records and the video to coerce and bribe me into divorcing Lu Zhiyuan.

I couldn’t help but think of Lu Zhiyuan’s friend named “Q” on WeChat on New Year’s Eve.

I felt a chill in my heart. Could it be that Lu Zhiyuan was also involved?

My heart skipped a beat and I pursed my lips tightly.

"Xiao Shan, are you listening to me?" Lan Feng asked me with a frown.

I came to my senses and told myself to calm down. At the same time, I secretly swore that once I found out the truth, I would never let them go!

"Sister, don't worry. I'm already raising money." I whispered to Lan Feng that the best thing to do now is to stabilize her first.

As expected, Lan Feng's brows relaxed when he heard this. He pretended to comfort me and went upstairs.

In the evening, I used the excuse that my best friend needed money urgently and tentatively borrowed money from Lu Zhiyuan.

"How much do you want?" Lu Zhiyuan asked me.

I held up a finger and whispered, "One hundred thousand."

"Okay, I'll transfer it to you." Lu Zhiyuan agreed readily without hesitation.

He quickly transferred the money to me through online banking, then turned off his computer, stood up, and gave me a big hug. "Honey, don't ever mention the word 'borrow' in front of me from now on. I'm yours, and all my wealth is yours. You can use it however you like."

Listening to his words, my nose suddenly felt sore.

I don't know if he was as affectionate as this when he hugged another woman.

"What if I cheat on you?" I looked up at him and forced a smile. "Aren't you afraid that I'll take your money?"

"My wife will never cheat on me." Lu Zhiyuan was full of confidence, perhaps thinking that I was joking with him.

"What about you?" I stared into his eyes and asked him, "Lu Zhiyuan, will you cheat on me?"

I stared at him blankly. This handsome face that I admired seemed so unfamiliar to me for the first time.

"Of course not."

Lu Zhiyuan said firmly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he leaned over and wanted to kiss me.

I pushed him away, and suddenly I felt a surge of nausea in my stomach.

I rushed to the bathroom and threw up on the sink.

Lu Zhiyuan was terrified. He came in, patted my back, and asked with concern, "Wife, what's wrong with you?"

My stomach was empty after vomiting, I looked up and saw my scarlet eyes in the mirror and Lu Zhiyuan's affectionate face behind me.

There was a sudden impulse that I wanted to ask Lu Zhiyuan when exactly he and Lan Feng started?

Reason tells me that I have no evidence and doing so will only alert the enemy.

After calming myself down, I turned on the faucet and washed my face with cold water.

"Honey, I seem to have a cold. Can you make some ginger soup for me?" I snuggled in his arms and pretended to be weak.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Lu Zhiyuan helped me onto the sofa and immediately went into the kitchen to get busy.

Looking at his back in an apron, I quietly picked up his cell phone which was on the coffee table.

The lock screen password is 0927, our wedding anniversary.

I didn't expect that Lu Zhiyuan has not changed this password so far.

Looking at our wedding photo wallpaper on the screen, I was distracted for a moment.

At this moment, I don’t know whether to admire Lu Zhiyuan’s prudence or his sentimentality.

Without thinking too much, I quickly clicked on his WeChat and searched for a contact named "Q".

The next second, I actually found it.

My heart beat faster. While paying attention to Lu Zhiyuan's actions in the kitchen, I opened Q's WeChat like a thief.

Unlike what I expected, there was very little chat history between the two of them.

This Q seemed to be Lu Zhiyuan's subordinate. The content he sent was almost entirely reports, and consisted of only a few words, making it impossible to tell the cause and effect.

Soon, I came to the one about New Year’s Eve.

When I saw the message, my head buzzed and my whole body froze.
