Chapter 224 The Seven-Year Itch
"I thought he was worried about me and the baby in my belly, and worried that I would be tired. I also thought that I hadn't had a good rest since I started the company, so I took a break and took advantage of this pregnancy to rest. So I agreed to his suggestion."
"Now that I think about it, firstly, they wanted to take away my rights in the company and prevent me from getting involved in the company's business, and secondly, they wanted to make it easier for him to have an affair with Qiao Sisi in the company."
"So he hired a nanny to take care of me at home every day. He went to the company early and came back late. Later, sometimes he didn't come home for several nights in a row. He told me that he was busy working overtime at the company recently and slept in the company."
"I never thought of doubting him. I also thought it was normal to be busy after signing a big deal. He should also know this. So he kept lying to me that he was working overtime, but in fact he was hanging out with Qiao Sisi."
"I was too stupid and trusted him too much. If I had asked the employees in the company, I'm afraid I would have exposed his lies long ago."
Yu Wei curled her lips. "He learned what happened that night from Qiao Sisi, but he couldn't and had no reason to hold me accountable because he was the one who booked the hotel room. I was drunk, and it was he who left to find Bai Sisi and left me there alone, which gave Qiao Sisi the opportunity to take advantage of me."
"If I really want to investigate what happened that night, I'm sure I won't find anything."
"And he didn't know whether the baby in my belly was his or the one Qiao Sisi found. Because we did have sex after that night, without any protection, that's why he didn't think of attacking me from the beginning."
"Seeing my belly getting bigger and bigger, and Duan Qian and I still not divorcing, Qiao Sisi naturally became anxious. She pretended to come visit me and intentionally or unintentionally inquired about how things were going between Duan Qian and me recently."
"I didn't think much of it because I treated her as a friend, so I told her everything. I said Duan Qian was very busy recently and often worked overtime and didn't come home, and I was bored staying at home alone."
"She pretended to be surprised and told me that the company hadn't been busy at all recently. She often saw Duan Qian leaving the company on time, and sometimes he would leave early. She thought he came back early to be with me."
"I was shocked when I heard what she said. I didn't expect Duan Qian to lie to me. A man who often doesn't come home at night, and his wife is pregnant, it's obvious that he can't stand the loneliness and has a woman outside."
"Qiao Sisi even tried to comfort me hypocritically, telling me not to think too much about it and to ask Duan Qian about it when he came back. She also said that she would help me keep an eye on him in the company and tell me if there was any movement."
"When Duan Qian came back that night, I asked him why he lied to me. He asked me who told me that. I didn't mention Qiao Sisi, but just casually asked the company employees how the company was doing recently."
"Duan Qian explained to me that when he didn't come home at night, he was out drinking with clients to solicit investment. He was afraid of coming back too late and disturbing me. He was always drunk, so he didn't want me to worry, so he just slept in a hotel outside."
"He said he wanted to tell me after he closed another big deal, and that he wanted to give me a surprise. He said he knew I had always wanted to make the company better and make more money."
At this point, Yu Wei chuckled, a hint of sarcasm on her lips, and said self-deprecatingly, "After hearing what he said, I naturally chose to believe him unconditionally, because I naively thought that no one could interfere with our seven-year relationship. After all, we've been through so much together."
"The seven-year itch. Time cannot be used to measure the loyalty of a relationship." Li Zhi said slowly.
Yu Wei nodded, "Yeah, but I thought we would be different, but the results were no exception."
"For a period of time afterwards, he behaved much more calmly, only occasionally not coming back. To reassure me, he even reported to me and took photos. To make it look real, he was indeed meeting clients for drinks and soliciting investment, but he brought Qiao Sisi with him."
"After that, Qiao Sisi never appeared in front of me again. I guess Duan Qian must have asked the nanny who came that day. Knowing that it was Qiao Sisi who told me, he warned Qiao Sisi not to come to my house again and say things to me that shouldn't be said."
"We went on peacefully for several months until half a month ago. Qiao Sisi must have persuaded him with a lot of whispers, and she finally convinced him to take action against me."
"Because only after I die can he naturally inherit my shares in the company."
"If I don't die, and the truth comes out someday, the outcome will be divorce. Not only will I get my share, but I'll also get half of the joint property."
Yu Wei lowered her eyes to glance at the child in her arms and continued, "Even if the child in my belly is really his, it's gone. After all, I can have the child with anyone, right?"
"After learning the truth, my resentment instantly erupted, and my abilities were enhanced."
"I originally wanted to kill that bastard Duan Qian first, but he had the blessed bracelet I gave him earlier on him, so I couldn't get close to him for the time being. I didn't expect that the thing I gave him would actually save his life."
"I had no choice but to seek revenge on Qiao Sisi and drown her in the bathtub at home."
"As for the nanny, she didn't run away after setting the fire. Instead, she was burned to death in the villa with me."
"Because she was diagnosed with terminal cancer and didn't have long to live, Duan Qian took advantage of this and gave her enough money to make her willing to do this."
"When Duan Qian learned that Qiao Sisi had drowned in the bathtub at home for no apparent reason, he must have sensed something and immediately went to the master for help."
Yu Wei turned to look at Li Zhi beside her, "And then, just like you said, he asked that master to do something to me, and I was tricked into coming here. I always thought he was hiding in this house. That's what happened."
Li Zhi's eyes fell on her child and she suddenly said, "This child is from you and him."
Upon hearing this, Yu Wei lowered her eyes and looked back at the child in her arms. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she raised her hand to touch the child's face. She sneered, "It doesn't matter whether it's his or not. I just want him to die now."
Li Zhi raised her hand, and spiritual energy poured out from her fingertips, channeling it into her body. She quickly lowered her hand, raised her fair chin slightly, and said, "Okay, I've helped you remove the restraints that the master Duan Qian found had placed on you. You should be able to sense his exact location now, so you can go directly to him."
