"Yes, just like that, this position is perfect. You're much more enticing than Chen Man."
Wang Hui's voice was muffled and distant, carrying an unexplainable sense of oppression and impatience.
"Wang Hui, you’re my favorite. Once I’ve drained that old man dry, I’ll come back to serve you."
"Then we’ll be a pair of celestial lovers; what’s Chen Man to us?"
Wang Hui repeatedly agreed, though I couldn’t tell if he understood.
I stood frozen at the doorway of the master bedroom. The voice inside belonged to Qin Qin, whom I had considered a sister. When did she get involved with Wang Hui?
The two of them continued their antics for a while before finally stopping. Qin Qin playfully said, "Isn’t Chen Man easy to manipulate?"
"Country girls have little experience; they’re perfect for having babies."
"Once she’s taken care of your legs, we can go back to how we used to be, living together."
"The thought of her calling the police and causing my paralysis makes me want to crush her."
"This kind of country girl is just right for us. I'm getting along well with that old man; you can’t expect me to have a baby at this critical moment, can you?"
"Besides, having a baby will ruin my figure. Would you want to see me lose my shape?"
Qin Qin’s breathing quickened as she half-heartedly said, "I should go now; if I don’t leave soon, that old guy will come looking for me."
"Don’t divorce Qin Qin just yet. I’ve heard that her family is about to be relocated, which means a substantial sum of money."
"We can use the fact that she caused your disability to scare her mother into giving us a hefty sum."
Soon, I heard the sound of them getting dressed inside, and I quickly hid in my daughter’s room.
The sound of high heels clicked sharply as she stepped out. I covered my mouth and crouched in the corner, overwhelmed by the pain of betrayal and despair that made it impossible to control my emotions. It was indeed Qin Qin who introduced Wang Hui to me, but I never expected that I was merely prey in their eyes.
Even now, they were still scheming over my family's assets, threatening me with my daughter's life. I bit down hard on my lower lip, the taste of iron spreading in my mouth. In that moment of clarity, my whole body trembled. How could these two deceitful people think everyone else is a fool?
My mother-in-law had disappeared for several days without a trace. Perhaps Qin Qin had satisfied Wang Hui that day, as he hadn’t made any perverse demands lately. However, his temper remained unchanged; he would lash out at me whenever he felt displeased.
I discreetly gathered some information about my family's relocation plans, and indeed, it was happening. It was a project planned years ago but only now being implemented. Wang Hui, I initially wanted to leave everything behind for you, to give you some dignity and respect. But since you have no intention of resolving this amicably, don’t blame me.
The next morning, I made an effort to dress up. The stress of recent times had made me lose my appetite, and I had even shed a few pounds. After tidying myself up a bit more, I felt presentable. From Wang Hui's slightly astonished gaze, I could sense his surprise.
Holding a bowl of carefully prepared bone broth, I squatted beside him and said, "I heard from someone that my family is about to relocate. They’re building houses one by one, hoping to get more compensation in the future."
"Do you think we should also give my parents some money to help them build?"
At my words, Wang Hui's fingers twitched ever so slightly.
"I’ve thought it through; even if we divorce, I wouldn’t find anyone better than you. We have our daughter to consider, so why not just continue living like this?"
"I've been thinking for a long time about building a house at my parents' place. I'm their only daughter, so if we end up losing money, it will be on both of us. This is a good opportunity that we can't let slip away."
Wang Hui didn't say anything, but her gaze flickered uncertainly towards me. I placed the soup on the table and quietly moved to the door, not actually leaving.
I listened intently as Wang Hui made a phone call to Qin Qin for confirmation. After receiving an affirmative response, Wang Hui handed me a card.
"There's five hundred thousand in here. Take it and build the house."
