"Who would want you looking like this, especially with a baby on the way?" Xu Ya looked at Xiao Han's angry and twisted expression, her legs trembling in fear as she was dragged away by him.
After Liu Ling told me this story over the phone as a joke, I felt an overwhelming sense of irony. I was relieved to know the truth before it was too late; it was time to put an end to this. I decided to meet Xiao H An'an d let him know the truth so that we could go our separate ways from then on.
The next time I saw Xiao Han was on a snowy day. I was driving my Maserati while he rode a second-hand electric bike, wearing a faded denim jacket, his face turning pale from the cold as he shivered by the roadside. I was dressed in mink fur, carrying a bag worth hundreds of thousands and wearing a watch worth millions.
Xiao Han walked up to me, trembling. " An'an, seeing you doing well is enough for me. You're now the president of a publicly listed company, tossing around tens of millions like it's nothing, while I'm stuck renting a single room and can't even afford heating because of you."
I interrupted him, "You brought this upon yourself; it's not my fault. And by the way, I've had all this since I was eighteen—I've been the president of my company since then. I've been driving this car since I was young; you should save some face for yourself."
I threw the information Liu Ling had gathered at him. "From now on, let's cut ties. If you come near me again, I'll make your life even harder than it is now."
In the rearview mirror, I saw Xiao Han standing there, angrily tearing apart the papers I had given him. Just then, Liu Ling called me.
Liu Ling sounded excited on the phone. "Sister, I just saw Xu Ya at the hospital for a check-up. I found out her pregnancy is unstable and she has AIDS."
I was momentarily speechless and reminded her, "Then you should stay away from her; be careful not to get infected."
Liu Ling replied unhappily, "When she saw me, she even tried to fall onto me on purpose! Luckily, I dodged quickly and ran away."
The last time I heard news about Xiao H An'an d Xu Ya was when...
A video circulating online shows a man beating a pregnant woman in a hospital until she miscarried. The reason was that the woman tested positive for AIDS, and the man unfortunately got infected. In the end, the woman was rescued but could never bear children again, while the man was sentenced to two years for intentional injury.
Watching the video of Xiao Han and Xu Ya, I felt no emotional turmoil; those with ill intentions will ultimately face retribution.
Years later, after Liu Ling gradually got the hang of things at the company, I had him take on a few branch offices to gain experience. Once he had enough skills and knowledge, he could return to take my current position. Today was the day we had agreed to have dinner together. As soon as we sat down, Liu Ling patted my shoulder and said, "Sister, look over there."
I turned around and saw a disheveled middle-aged woman in patchy clothes, her hands frostbitten, devouring a bowl of noodles. Next to her was a hunched-over man scolding her for her eating habits.
I looked at Liu Ling in confusion, and he leaned in to tell me, "That's Xiao Han and Xu Ya. Ever since Xiao Han got out, Xu Ya has been supporting him. They just scrape by together; no matter how much he hits or scolds her, Xu Ya never leaves Xiao Han."
"Ha, I think it's best if those two stay locked together; they shouldn't harm others." I patted Liu Ling on the head and said, "You little rascal, why are you paying attention to those irrelevant people?"
"Hehe, Sister, when are you going to find me a brother-in-law?"
"When you take my position, then I'll have time to find you a brother-in-law."
