I couldn’t bring myself to keep watching, for it was no longer necessary. I rose to my feet and left the Mall with tears all over my face.
I used to think that my husband loved me as much as I loved him, but actually, I was the only one in the dark about what had happened.
How much I trusted him was proportional to how much it hurt me.
I thought I was supposed to hate that man with the mask.
However, when I came back to my sense, I could not help but mock myself with a bitter smile. What’s the point in hating him?
Just because he led me to the disgusting truth?
I walked down the street in a trance, craving for some sleep at home.
Maybe when I woke up, I would find that everything was only a part of my dream.
I was almost knocked down by cars for several times before I finally got home.
However, what greeted me was a merciless slap in my face which made me dizzy.
“Mother?” Leaning against the wall, I was in a daze for quite a while before I recovered. Looking at my furious mother-in-law blankly, I felt my eyes become misty again.
It completely woke me up. I was not in a dream and everything that had happened just now was real.
I had to face the fact that my husband was having an affair with Xiao Yue.
As if a sharp sword, what they said pieced my heart, which had just stopped bleeding, all over again when I thought about this.
Meanwhile, I felt the overwhelming, tearing pain and despair rising from the depth of my soul.
“You jinx!” Maybe because my trance had completely annoyed her, my mother-in-law suddenly let out a wail and then kept on slapping me while crying.
She didn’t stop until she was a little tired.
However, she kept crying and cursing, while complaining that not only was I infertile, but got her son into trouble as well.
I suddenly took a tumble that she lost her temper because of our company’s loss, but before I could explain to her, a gang of men barged in.
The head of those men shot me a fierce glare and asked me to pay back the money.
How could I raise 200 million Yuan in such a short time?
“It seems you don’t want to return my money. Fine! Guys, smash everything in here!” He then spat at me angrily and waved his hand to the people behind him.
In the blink of an eye, they rushed into each room and started smashing things and snatching the valuable ones.
The house was immediately filled with crackles and those people’s raucous laughter.
After my mother-in-law realized that she had been totally ignored, she rushed over to the head of those people and cried loudly, “Stop! Please! It’s that woman’s fault! She’s the one who owes you the money, so please feel free to do anything to her!”
Hearing what she said, I felt cold all over like I was in a coffin made of ice.
I stared at my lunatic mother-in-law blankly in disbelief with my heart torn to pieces.
I couldn’t believe that these words had come from my own mother-in-law. Since I had been married to my husband for so many years, even if she never liked me, she shouldn’t have added insult to my injury!
At the thought of the man in the mask, my beloved husband, my bosom friend who was having an affair with my husband and my cold-blooded mother-in-law, my pent-up emotions flared up and I was on the verge of breaking down.
My mother-in-law was still begging them to vent their anger on me. Moreover, she even patiently repeated what she had said just now in front of every man.
I slipped to the floor along the wall and gazed at her, disheartened, with despair chilling me to the bone.
Finally, some of those men walked to me at her instigation. At the critical moment, their head’s cell phone suddenly rang. He spoke on the phone for a short moment and then left with his men.
