Now, my parents were anxious.
They quickly sent messages in the group chat, urging me not to do anything that would betray Chu Qi. They said that after so many years of our relationship, getting married was not easy. Moreover, Chu Qi was currently pregnant. If I did something to hurt her, they said they would no longer recognize me as their son.
Chu Qi saw the photo. She looked at me with a cold smile and said, "Oh, I understand now."
"So it’s because of this girl that you want to divorce me?"
"What? One at home and one outside?"
"Jiang Wei, I really misjudged you."
I rubbed my forehead and replied, "Take a good look; this is my savior."
"Ha," Chu Qi scoffed lightly. "Do you think I would believe that?"
"Jiang Wei, it’s too late to say anything now."
"We can’t go back to how things were."
Lu Mingyuan also saw the photo. He rushed in, grabbing my collar, furious beyond measure. "Jiang Wei, are you even human?"
"Qi Jie has been so good to you, and you dare to do this behind her back?"
I was taken aback. "What?"
"Are you still playing dumb?" Lu Mingyuan raised his hand and punched me.
As a patient with limited mobility in my legs, I couldn't fight back at all. His punch landed hard, causing my wound to split open, making me gasp in pain.
"Jiang Wei, you scumbag!"
"You don’t deserve to be with Qi Jie; get lost!"
Lu Mingyuan was exhausted from the fight when Chu Qi came over, feigning concern to pull him back.
"Enough, Mingyuan. Stop fighting," she said.
"At this point, he deserves it," he replied.
I looked up at Chu Qi. This girl, who had grown up alongside me, now felt so unfamiliar.
Chu Qi and I were neighbors, childhood friends. As a little girl, she was well-behaved and sensible. She loved reading and painting, dreaming of becoming an artist. I often saw her sitting downstairs, lost in her drawings.
From a young age, she was beautiful, often praised by adults as a little beauty. I felt like a shadow, always trailing behind her. Sometimes, I would secretly watch her and think how wonderful it would be if we could stay like this forever.
Later, I went to university while Chu Qi chose not to attend. She said she wanted to work to support my education. At that time, I vowed to make something of myself so that Chu Qi could live a good life.
After graduating from university, I found a stable job. By then, Chu Qi had reached the age for marriage. She told me she had dated several boyfriends but none were right for her. Only I treated her the best.
It was then that I realized she had been waiting for me all along. So, I confessed my feelings to her, and she agreed. We got married.
After our wedding, I asked her what kind of person she would have looked for if it weren't for me.
She said she didn't know either. All she knew was that, at this moment, I was the best person for her. But now, she had turned into this state. I truly couldn't fathom what had changed her.
After discussing the divorce with my parents, they were heartbroken when they saw my injuries, tears streaming down their faces. My mother said it was Chu Qi who told them not to pay attention to me. She never expected we would end up at this point.
I sighed and embraced my mother. "Mom, it's okay."
"Even if you really become disabled, it's still better than dying, isn't it?"
During the family meeting, Chu's Father expressed his dissatisfaction with me. He believed that I should take responsibility for the divorce. He even wanted me to leave with nothing.
"What do you mean our daughter is ungrateful?"
"It's clearly your son who was in the wrong first!"
My parents were so angry that they started arguing with each other.
