It was a little after nine in the evening. In a villa on the riverside of Nanzhong City, the 30-something Wang Mudan was playing with building blocks on a mat with her ten-month-old son, Si Aidan. The chubby, adorable little boy, was fiddling with the blocks, mumbling, "Tap, Mom, Dad..."
Although he couldn't speak yet, Wang Mudan was very happy to hear his cute baby talk. She teased him lovingly: "Dandan, call mom, dad, sister..."
Wang Mudan is thirty-five years old, with short hair that reaches her ears. She looks very smart and capable. She is tall and slender, with a thin, oval face and slightly dark skin. She looks a little haggard and can't help yawning a few times. Maybe she is too tired. She wants to rest early, but her son is having a lot of fun, so she has to force herself to continue playing with him.
Wang Mudan's eldest daughter, Si Jiali, who just turned eight, was practicing piano. Her second daughter, Si Jiahui, who was four years old, was sitting on the sofa watching cartoons. A middle-aged woman in her forties was wiping the kitchen cabinets. She was Aunt Zhou, Wang Mudan's nanny.
The scene in front of me looks very warm. This is a happy and wealthy family. The only drawback is that the male owner is not at home at the moment.
Si Jiali played the piano for a while, then stopped to touch her arm, which was a little numb, and said to Wang Mudan, "Mom, I'm a little tired and want to go to bed. Why hasn't Dad come back yet?"
Si Jiali's facial features are very similar to her mother's. Her facial features are not pretty, she is thin and has dark skin, but her eyes are bright and she is a smart and clever child.
Wang Mudan picked up her son, stood up and walked to her eldest daughter's side, saying lovingly: "Baby, you are sleepy, go to sleep first. Daddy is discussing business and will be back later."
"Dad said he would buy me some sheet music. I wanted to see if he has bought it for me." Si Jiali pouted and acted coquettishly to her mother.
"Don't worry, Dad will buy it for you. Maybe you can see the new book tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay, Mom, I'll go to sleep first." Si Jiali rubbed her eyes and walked towards the room.
Wang Mudan turned around and asked her second daughter who was sitting on the sofa: "Jiahui, you and your sister should go to bed first. You have to go to school tomorrow."
"Okay, Mom, isn't my brother going to sleep yet?"
"My brother took a nap during the day, so I'll play with him for a while."
Wang Mudan shouted to the nanny, "Sister Zhou, stop working and take Jiahui to bed first."
"Oh well."
Aunt Zhou put down the rag in her hand, walked over quickly, took Jiahui's hand, and said, "Jiahui, go to bed with Auntie first. You have to go to school tomorrow."
Si Jiahui waved to her mother and said, "Good night, Mom!"
“Goodnight, baby!”
After coaxing her two daughters to sleep, Wang Mudan continued playing with her young son in the living room. She checked her phone. It was almost ten o'clock, and her husband, Si Mingda, had not yet returned home. She opened his WeChat and asked, "When will you be back?"
A few minutes later, she received a reply from her husband: "You guys go to sleep first. I'm having a drink with my friends and will be back later."
"Are you cold?" Wang Mudan asked with concern. It was already deep winter, and Si Mingda was only wearing a black coat when he went out in the morning.
"I'm not a three-year-old child. Don't I know what's hot and cold? You take the child to bed early and don't worry about me." Wang Mudan's concern made Si Mingda a little impatient.
“Okay, drink less.”
Although Si Mingda often came home late, he rarely stayed out all night. Wang Mudan was still very confident in him and never thought that he would be like the rich men in society who pursued women, ignored his family, spent money on other women, etc.
Today is the weekend, where did he go? Why hasn't he come back yet so late?
Today is Sunday. Wang Mudan and Si Mingda had agreed to take the children hiking. But for some reason, after getting up in the morning, Si Mingda fiddled with his phone for a while and suddenly said he had to go out for something, so the plan to take the children hiking had to be postponed.
Wang Mudan had no choice but to continue playing with her son in the living room. The little guy slept during the day and was full of energy at night. He kept crawling, rolling, and fiddling with various small toys on the mat. He was in high spirits and had no desire to sleep at all. Wang Mudan was happy to accompany her son and make him laugh.
Just then, her phone prompted a WeChat message. She picked it up and clicked it. It was from her best friend Nana. There were a few photos below the message: "Sister Wang, this morning after I went to M Supermarket, I wanted to take my daughter to the nearby M Restaurant for dinner. When I went in to order, I saw Mr. Si and a woman eating inside. At first I thought it was you two, and was about to go over to say hello, but suddenly I realized that the woman was not you, so I quickly dodged. From their actions and the way they spoke, it seems that Mr. Si and that woman have an unusual relationship. I thought about it for a long time, not knowing whether I should tell you, but I still couldn't help but send you a message. We are both women, both mothers of children. I don't want this to happen to you. I took these photos secretly, and Mr. Si didn't notice me. Do you know this woman?"
The woman who sent the WeChat message is named Nana. She and her husband run an electronics company and usually supply goods to Wang Mudan’s company. They have a customer-supplier relationship.
Wang Mudan has known them for many years, and Nana likes her warm and cheerful personality. Over the years, they have always had a good relationship, both in business and in personal relationships.
In Nana's eyes, Wang Mudan and Si Mingda are a loving couple. She has always envied Wang Mudan. Her husband is successful in his career and has two children. In the eyes of outsiders, their family is so happy.
She never imagined that behind their seemingly happy life there was actually an unknown dirty secret. This time she accidentally discovered Simingda's affair. As a woman of the same age, she naturally had to stand up for Wang Mudan.
