My calmness left Jiao Li flustered.
"I... love... you. Fan, please don't doubt my feelings for you. Besides you, I have no one else to rely on."
"Is that so?" I asked coldly. "What about your mother? Your brother?"
"They... oh right!" Jiao Li suddenly ran into the bedroom, rummaging through drawers, and then came back holding a bank card.
"My mom sent me 30,000 yuan. We can travel now, we can go on our honeymoon..."
That was my money, the surprise I had prepared for her, but her mother took it as a betrothal gift!
"My mom said that as long as you add my name to the House Deed, she will transfer the betrothal money back to me, really..."
"Charity? A transaction? Using my kindness towards you to sell favors? What does your mother think?" I sneered.
"No, it's not what you think..." Jiao Li knelt down, pleading earnestly.
"We have feelings for each other, right? I thought signing a paper would get me some money from my mom so we could live a little more comfortably. I didn't expect you to think like this. I won't sign it, I won't sign it..."
"Comfortably? Aren't you living well enough now?"
In this city, I was definitely considered part of the high-income class, thanks to Ma Shishi's support.
I handed over my salary card to Jiao Li to manage; both of our salaries were spent solely by her. How could that not be enough?
"No need for her charity. Give me my salary card, and I'll book the tickets right now."
I needed to check the card; I couldn't trust her unconditionally anymore.
"Huh?" Jiao Li's gaze wandered. "You... want the card? There's no money left on it..."
How could there be no money? I was well aware of our daily expenses.
With a mortgage to pay and saving for a car, we lived frugally; there should be some savings in the account.
"Where's the money?" For the first time, thoughts of divorce crossed my mind.
What I found most unbearable wasn't her extravagance but her lack of planning.
It wasn't just our family that was overdrawn; it was also the future environment for our children’s growth.
How could someone who was supposed to spend their life with me not plan for the future?
"I... oh right, I bought some financial products!"
"What kind of financial products? Funds or stocks? Which ones?" I pressed her with questions.
"Which ones? Oh, darling, you don't need to worry about that. It'll definitely earn money, and when it does, I'll surprise you!"
Ten investments out of ten lose money; I can't believe you.
But the way she called me "darling" really softened me.
"What did you call me?"
"Uh... darling..."
"Hey, sweetheart! So, should we...?"
"Ah? Stop it!"
I'm used to these little quarrels; they come quickly and leave just as fast. Jiao Li falls quickly but kneels just as fast.
I find myself at a loss when it comes to women's tears.
More than that, I'm more concerned about our married life.
It's been half a year, and I always thought she was distant; we never even consummated our marriage on the wedding night.
So, without any shame, I picked her up and carried her to bed...
But the moment she lay down, I suddenly remembered the doubts from that chaotic hotel and the salary card I couldn't get back...
I lost my focus, and she sensed it too.
So she stopped and turned her back to me.
That night, we both had our own secrets.
In the morning, she made breakfast and even packed lunch for me.
"You've worked hard; take a break before heading to work."
After finishing breakfast, I hugged and kissed her before heading out.
The first thing I did after leaving was to ask Ma Shishi for a day off.
Then I canceled my salary card, checked my account statements, reported to the police—all in one go...
"Investment management? She sends 5,000 yuan to different personal accounts every month. I've never seen an investment company collect payments through personal accounts. What kind of investment is that? It's just a bottomless pit.
The police said the amount wasn't enough to take action, but I did my own investigation.
At noon, instead of eating at the office, I bought a small gift and went to Jiao Li Company, planning to gather information about this investment scammer under the guise of delivering a surprise.
The receptionist greeted me politely, 'Hello, sir. How can I help you?'
'Oh, is Jiao Li here? I'm her husband.'
'Jiao Li? Sister Jiao resigned two months ago...'"
