Was she trying to lay her cards on the table once and for all?!
Before I could speak, my mother-in-law beat me to it and interjected anxiously, “Qingqing, you’re still on the drip. Why are you in such a hurry? Do you have to talk now? Why don’t you wait till you’re home?”
As she spoke, she winked at my wife desperately.
I pretended to keep my gaze on my wife, but in fact, I could see my mother-in-law’s actions clearly from the corner of my eye.
Clearly, she knew what my wife wanted to say!
Moreover, she didn’t want my wife to say it now!
That’s right. My wife was definitely going to have a confrontation!
My heart rate increased swiftly.
This was trouble!
It wasn’t time to reveal everything!
My father-in-law added anxiously, “Yes, right. I don’t think it’s the right time to talk. Lass, even I can understand that you need a good rest. A smart person like you should know it more than me.”
I deliberately asked in surprise, “Father, Mother, what are you talking about? What happened?”
My wife’s expression changed repeatedly. Finally, she said, “It’s not an urgent matter. Let’s talk about it later.”
The three of us were relieved to hear that.
I quickly made an excuse and left the ward in case my wife changed her mind.
When I got outside, I leaned against the wall and exhaled a long breath.
That was close!
Although my wife hadn’t mentioned it, judging from the two elders’ reactions, she most likely wanted to spill out the truth. However, I hadn’t achieved my goal.
My wife must have gotten a promise from the bald adulterer, that’s why she was suddenly so bold.
Could the bald man have gotten a divorce?
Impossible!
He had relied on his wife and father-in-law to obtain his current status.
It could be said that once he left them, he would be nothing!
How could he divorce his wife so casually?
However, I would be able to solve this doubt in a while.
My mind flashed to the phone I had placed on the little table before I left.
When the three of them weren’t paying attention, I secretly turned on the recording on my phone and placed it next to the fruit plate.
Now that I’m not in the room, they’ll definitely say something that they didn’t want me to hear.
In a while, as soon as I get my phone back, I’ll know what they had said!
When my lunch break was almost over, I took my phone and left the ward.
After returning to the parking lot, I got into the car as quickly as I could. I closed the door and put on my headphones to play the recording file I had just recorded.
“What are you guys saying? Acknowledge him as the godfather? What will that look like?!” My wife sounded displeased.
“I was just kidding to tease that guy, I wasn’t really asking the child to acknowledge him as her godfather.” My mother-in-law clearly didn’t take her wife’s displeasure to heart and chided. “But why did you suddenly change your mind just now? What is wrong?”
“Yeah, didn’t we agree that you would reveal your cards after Little Lu gets a divorce?” my father-in-law added.
“I can’t wait anymore!” My wife was raging. “Both of you don’t understand at all. If I don’t resort to any tricks, he will keep dragging this on. How can that happen! I’ll get a divorce first and move to his house to coerce him to divorce!”
“But what won’t Little Lu get angry if you do this?”
The recording fell silent.
Clearly, my wife had similar concerns.
“Didn’t Little Lu assure you that he is almost done with all the arrangements? Now we have to wait for the right time. Lass, don’t be anxious. Don’t cause any trouble. The gains won’t make up for the losses!”
“It’s almost time. Don’t turn back and end up with nothing!”
My parents-in-law took turns persuading my wife.
After a while, my wife spoke again. “All right, don’t say anymore. I’ll wait.”
I turned off the recording and looked up. In the rearview mirror, I saw my own ferocious expression.
My feelings were extremely complicated!
I was happy because she had given up on spilling the truth.
But I felt terrible because she was really determined to divorce me.
I was furious, but I could only use my rationality to control myself. I couldn’t be impulsive!
After a long time, I calmed down, started the car, and left the parking lot.
Now, we could only bid our time.
Let us see who would gain the upper hand first!
Would I get the evidence first? Or would my wife’s wait for the bald man and his wife to get a divorce be over first?
A few days later, my wife was discharged and she returned home.
Her attitude was still as cold as ever.
However, I was already used to it. I still took good care of her and fulfilled my duty as a husband.
At least, I couldn’t be too anxious before we confronted each other.
One day, Xu Xiaomei specially prepared champagne in her office.
“From today onwards, you’ll take over Hu Lei’s position. You won’t be my secretary anymore. Instead, you’ll be the project manager at Splendid Sun Real Estate.” Xu Xiaomei revealed a playful smile.
“What?!” I cried out.
“Don’t yell yet, wait for me to finish.” A mischievous glint flashed across Xu Xiaomei’s eyes. “You’ll be taking over the project at Upper View Garden. Don’t let me down after I’ve recommended you.”
