He took it with confusion, his face growing darker by the moment. Finally, he looked up abruptly, panic in his eyes. "Lin Xi, who gave you this? It's fake! All of it is fake! Don't believe it!"
I sneered, "Chen Zimo, at this point, you're still putting on an act?"
He was completely flustered now, reaching out to embrace me. "Wife, I was wrong! But... I really want a child. I don't love her, I swear! I only love you! I just want to cut ties with her once the baby is born! Please forgive me this once, okay?"
"A child?" I shook off his hand, my voice trembling. "Just because the doctor said I might have difficulty getting pregnant, you went out and found someone else? Is a child that important to you?"
I thought I could remain calm, but after so many years of feelings invested, it turned out to be all for nothing.
"I'm sorry, wife! I was confused for a moment! I have no feelings for her, really!" He continued to argue.
"No feelings? If you had no feelings, why did you change your phone password to her birthday? If you had no feelings, why did you take her home to meet your parents? Chen Zimo, is it that hard to admit you've changed your heart?"
"We're getting a divorce." I looked at him firmly, each word deliberate. "The divorce agreement will be sent by my lawyer tomorrow."
With that, I grabbed my suitcase that had long been packed and walked out the door.
He didn't stop me; he just stood there with an expression of being abandoned by the entire world.
Hmph.
Downstairs, Su Qing's car was already waiting. Seeing my red-rimmed eyes, she immediately came over and hugged me. "It's okay, Lin Xi. It's all behind you now."
"Mm."
Once in the car, the tension in my body finally began to ease.
Su Qing drove while asking, "So how did that jerk react?"
Thinking of Chen Zimo's expression just now made me smile. "Yeah, I've never seen him lose his composure like that before."
"Wouldn't it be even more interesting if he knew that the baby in that mistress's belly isn't even his?"
I gave a self-deprecating smile.
Su Qing quickly reassured me. "Don't be sad, Lin Xi. From now on, stay at my place; my home is your home!"
"Thanks, Su Qing."
"Don't mention it. By the way, you didn't forget the recording, right?"
I shook my phone in response. "Of course not; the best part is yet to come."
Returning to Su Qing's house, I was utterly exhausted and collapsed into bed. I woke up to find it was already noon the next day. My phone was flooded with missed calls, all from Chen Zimo and my lawyer.
I called the lawyer back first. He informed me that Chen Zimo did not agree to the divorce. Ha, did he think that just because he disagreed, it meant we couldn't get divorced?
Using a different number, I sent last night's recording to Bai Ruo. Then, I packaged the evidence of Bai Ruo's pregnancy and her role as the mistress and anonymously sent it to the executive group and employee group at Chen Zimo's company. Oh, and I also sent a copy to Bai Ruo's parents via express delivery; they should be receiving it by now.
My phone was instantly bombarded with calls. I blocked Chen Zimo's number. Opening WeChat, I found that Bai Ruo had bombarded me with voice messages, frantic and furious:
"Lin Xi? What do you mean! If you have a problem, come at me, don’t involve my family!"
"The recording is fake! You must have coerced him! Zimo loves me!"
"Just let us be! We are true love! We have a child together! Zimo said you can't have kids; you're just a hen that doesn't lay eggs!"
...She sure knew how to throw insults.
I took my time typing a reply: "I agree to the divorce, but Chen Zimo doesn't. Why don't you go persuade him?"
There was silence on her end for a moment before she replied: "He will definitely divorce you!"
Mission accomplished. I closed WeChat and ignored her.
Su Qing came out with some food: "Time to eat! Let them tear each other apart!"
Just as we finished eating, the doorbell rang loudly. Su Qing and I exchanged glances.
I nodded: "Go ahead and open it."
As soon as the door opened, there stood Chen Zimo, unshaven, with red-rimmed eyes and disheveled hair; in just one night, he looked like he had aged ten years.
