"I am that snake," Xia Ruoxi said. "Wei Ruoming is a man who rose from humble beginnings; he endured a lot of hardships when he was young. During that time, I stood by him through thick and thin, believing that by being with him, I would have someone to rely on for life."
"But once Wei Ruoming became successful, he forgot all the good I had done for him. He saw me growing older, my beauty fading, and began seeking other women outside."
" Ma Jia, you are luckier than I am because you are young. But you are also more unfortunate because you are young."
I listened quietly to Xia Ruoxi's story. I felt that we were no longer enemies but two unfortunate women sharing the same plight.
Xia Ruoxi continued, " Ma Jia, you are the only one who has successfully ascended. I hope you can escape this sea of suffering soon."
I replied, "Xia Ruoxi, I..."
Xia Ruoxi waved her hand and said, " Ma Jia, we may never see each other again. My today is your tomorrow. I hope my today becomes your tomorrow."
With that, Xia Ruoxi stood up to take her leave. I waved goodbye to her. This farewell was indeed a final one.
Xia Ruoxi was right; this was our eternal goodbye. She was right; I would never see her again.
After she left, I began to look for someone who could take her place as Wei Ruoming's new love interest. Young, beautiful, gentle, and considerate—these traits no longer attracted Wei Ruoming.
I needed to find a woman who was different from all the others Wei Ruoming had been with before. Previously, Xia Ruoxi had told me that Wei Ruoming most wanted a son. A son!
I suddenly realized.
Wei Ruoming was already in his forties, yet he still had no son. His company would eventually be handed down to his son. So, I forged a certificate stating that I was infertile. I knew that with Wei Ruoming's personality, if he found out about my infertility, he would surely kill me. But that was exactly the effect I wanted.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Wei Ruoming discovered my medical report. He was furious, nearly beating me to death. Lying on the ground, I spat out a tooth that had been knocked loose, my body covered in bruises, yet I laughed maniacally. I knew he hadn't even looked at the report before attacking me. This indicated that my plan had already succeeded halfway.
Soon, my reputation spread throughout the socialite circles. Everyone knew I was infertile. Wei Ruoming treated me with indifference; I could tell that my status in his heart was diminishing day by day. I wore black clothes every day, looking lifeless and afraid to speak to anyone because I didn't want others to see the bruises on my face.
Whenever someone expressed sympathy for me, I would tell them, "It's fine; I'm just not well. Wei Ruoming said he wouldn't despise me." They would look at me with pity and advise, "Jiajia, don't be foolish; how could a man not despise a woman who can't have children?" "Exactly, Jiajia; you're just too naive."
I would nod and smile each time, indicating that I understood. But once home, I would change into the most beautiful dress I owned.
Because I know I am about to succeed. I am aware that many people secretly covet the position of Wei Ruoming's wife. Whoever can conceive Wei Ruoming's child will become the new Mrs. Wei. I looked at the dark sky and laughed with great delight. Wei Ruoming faces difficulties in the business world every day, only to come home and take it out on me. But when he sees Lin Rou at home, he transforms into a gentleman.
"Jiajia, why are there still people at home?" Wei Ruoming asked me, looking somewhat puzzled as he glanced at Lin Rou.
Lin Rou smiled sweetly upon seeing Wei Ruoming, instantly brightening his mood.
"Hello, Mr. Wei. I'm Jiajia's friend, my name is Lin Rou."
Wei Ruoming's spirits lifted even more. "Since you're Jiajia's friend, feel free to come over often." After saying that, he returned to his room.
