"Listen to me..."
I pulled out the gift I had prepared for her at noon.
"I went to your company to set up a little surprise for you. Take a look."
"Oh right, the salary card is because our company is switching to a unified account, so it’s being transferred to another bank. Once the new card arrives, I’ll give it to you."
"Really?"
"Really, when have I ever lied to you?"
"And what about the video in your hand? What does that prove? They sent you to a hotel; did you really not go inside?"
My words seemed to hit a nerve, and she suddenly became agitated.
"No! I didn’t let them in at all!"
If they didn’t go in, then where did all that mess come from?
What was she really afraid of?
I took a couple of steps forward.
"Okay, okay, they didn’t go in, but nothing happened between me and President Ma either. I was drunk; she was sleeping on the sofa. I didn’t even know when she left."
"Don’t come any closer! I can’t trust you anymore!"
She lifted her other leg again.
"Don’t come over!"
I panicked.
"Sign it! I want you to sign the House Deed right now, immediately!"
"Okay, okay, I’ll do it right away. Just wait for me; I’ll call the real estate center!"
I quickly shut the door and ran out, first calling 119 for ladder rescue assistance, then calling my mom, asking her to help add her name.
What a hassle... How could my dad’s House Deed possibly have his daughter-in-law’s name added?
Even if I wanted to transfer ownership, it would take at least a week for the paperwork, and right now, we were still in the loan repayment period, which made things incredibly complicated.
There was no choice; to keep Jiao Li calm, I reached out for the first time to that shady line of work—document processing. After that, I called Jiao Li and told her I needed to go out to handle the name change paperwork, begging her to come down first. She insisted she wouldn't come down without seeing the House Deed.
Sometimes, you just have to admit defeat; these people are truly skilled. I managed to create a fake House Deed in just half an hour from start to finish.
When I returned home, firefighters on the ladder were in a standoff with Jiao Li. A few team members at my door were also ready to break it down.
"Guys, it's a misunderstanding! I can persuade my wife to come down, just give me a moment!" I quickly opened the door and held up the House Deed for Jiao Li to see.
"I can't see it clearly; throw it over!"
"Okay!"
I tossed the fake House Deed about three meters away from her, and it conveniently fell apart. Jiao Li had no choice but to lean out of the window to pick up the House Deed.
Suddenly, the firefighters beside me sprang into action... In a flash, they pulled Jiao Li away from the windowsill. One of them quickly closed the window and stood guard by it.
"Let go! Let go! I'm not jumping anymore..."
Not jumping? Then I'll jump.
Holding onto the House Deed, Jiao Li treated it like a treasure, not even daring to blink as she finally locked it away in a safe box. However, when I asked her to delete that video of Ma Shishi, she absolutely refused.
From that moment on, Jiao Li's attitude toward me changed completely.
The gentle and considerate little wife I once knew has vanished.
Now, she is domineering and unreasonable, often threatening me with videos and completely disregarding what I say. I no longer have the right to engage with her as an equal, nor do I have the desire to speak with her at all. All desire has faded away.
A few days later, at Ma Shishi's birthday party, I got completely drunk. My colleagues noticed something was off with me and left one by one. The room was left with just me and Ma Shishi.
"You're an adult now, yet you act like a child, expecting everyone to cater to you. Whose birthday is it today?" Although Ma Shishi complained, her eyes were filled with concern. She used to be like this when I first met Jiao Li.
"Yeah, I guess I've been spoiled by you..." I took another swig of my drink.
"What are you talking about?"
"We can't go back, Jiao Li and I, we can never go back."
"Why? What happened between you two?"
"It's all because of you. On the wedding night, you got into my bed, and Jiao Li found out..."
"And so what? I should have slept with you before she even knew you!" Ma Shishi seemed to be drunk as well.
