"Chen Duo?" Did he really just call Pei Wen?
I glanced suspiciously at Chen Duo, who smiled at me before turning to get into his car.
Pei Wen continued on the phone, "Honey, I need to tell you something. Don't be scared."
"What is it?"
"You remember this morning when I told you about the argument between Chen Duo and Xu Manman?"
"Yes, what about it?" Pei Wen paused, his voice unusually heavy. "Actually, both Chen Duo and Xu Manman were candidates for guaranteed graduate admission. But there were limited spots, and in the end, they chose Xu Manman."
My mind buzzed as if something had exploded inside it. So, Chen Duo and Xu Manman had a grudge over this? This meant their conflict was much deeper than I had imagined. If Chen Duo really was the murderer, then everything made sense.
When Pei Wen returned home, I sat on the sofa in a daze. My phone was tightly clenched in my hand, already shattered into pieces.
Seeing that I was okay, Pei Wen let out a sigh of relief. "Your call suddenly dropped earlier; I was so worried."
"I'm sorry, I accidentally dropped my phone."
I was utterly exhausted; I had just taken some medicine and dozed off without realizing it.
Pei Wen held me tightly. "It's okay, it's okay."
I told him everything that had happened today—the person threatening us knew where we lived and used Pei Wen's life to threaten me for five million; otherwise, he would take Pei Wen's life. But I would rather go to prison.
Pei Wen's anger flared visibly, but he quickly calmed down. "Don't be afraid, honey. We'll find a way."
“Pei Wen, you don’t understand. Chen Duo is a madman. He broke that boy's head right in front of me, and blood splattered all over my face.”
“Let’s pay him off, that pervert.” I clutched Pei Wen’s hand, tears streaming down my face. “I don’t want to lose you, and I don’t want to go to jail. I have a child.” Pei Wen held me tightly, his heart aching for me. “Alright, we’ll pay him.”
In the following days, Pei Wen kept calculating how to sell the car and the house.
I couldn’t help but remind him, “Pei Wen, have you forgotten? Your car and house were bought with money from my family.”
Pei Wen paused for a moment before replying, “I know, but I’m a man. How can I let you bear this burden?” My heart warmed at his words, and tears flowed down my cheeks again.
They say true feelings are revealed in times of hardship, and Pei Wen was indeed very good to me. But had he forgotten that his car and house were also purchased with my parents’ money?
Seeing my tears, Pei Wen panicked. “Don’t cry! The doctor said you have signs of a miscarriage; you can’t get too emotional.”
“Pei Wen, I have money. I can call my parents.”
“No way! How can I use your in-laws’ money?” Pei Wen was agitated as he stepped in front of me, blocking my view.
“Pei Wen, thank you.” I said this from the heart as tears continued to fall.
Ever since I found out that Xu Manman’s spot for guaranteed admission had been taken by Chen Duo, I stormed off to confront him.
“Chen Duo, have you gone crazy over money? You actually tricked me into going to jail?”
Chen Duo sneered. “ Teacher Lin, I’m the one who was deceived. Xu Manman stole my spot! Do you know that every time she gets a guaranteed admission slot, it should have been mine?”
“What?”
I was taken aback. Chen Duo said that it was Pei Wen who used connections to directly seize the spot that originally belonged to him.
