Changing My Fate At Age 30
Chapter 7: I Wasn't Worthy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Liu Xin smiled. “I thought you had already forgotten about me.”
“How is that possible?” I replied awkwardly.
She invited me to sit down, and as if she was trying to ease the awkwardness, she started chatting with me.
I heaved a sigh of relief. After chatting with her for a while, I blurted out, “Are you… married?”
She was stunned.
Then, as if she remembered something, her face reddened. She lowered her head and shook gently.
Her expression shocked me and my heart skipped a beat.
She wasn’t married yet. Was it because of me?
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s talk about the matter at hand. I want to know what exactly is your situation now.” Liu Xin snapped back to her senses and changed the topic as if she was a little afraid to continue. “With me around, I definitely won’t let you suffer any losses.”
I immediately returned to reality and sighed as I explained the situation briefly.
Halfway through, Liu Xin interjected angrily, “How could she do this to you!”
After hearing that, her expression turned even more livid, as if she was the one who had been betrayed!
“Don’t worry about this matter! I’ll definitely settle everything properly for you.” Liu Xin said calmly, “There is no problem with your previous plan. Endure everything and get the evidence. Legally, an affair can’t be used as a basis for assets division. But logically, it’s useful.”
I nodded and discussed more details with her before bidding farewell.
I strode out and suddenly heard a shout from behind. “Zhang Teng, wait! You forgot your phone!”
I turned around in surprise and saw her running towards me. Just as she was about to reach me, she suddenly twisted her leg and she yelped before falling.
Startled, I wrapped my arms around her swiftly. “Are you okay?”
I grabbed the phone in her hand to prevent it from falling to the floor.
I then realized that her lips were less than ten centimeters away from mine, and I couldn’t help but enter a daze.
Liu Xin gazed up at me. Her face was flushed and her rosy lips were like fire as if she was waiting for me to kiss her.
Just as I was about to give in to my impulse, I jolted awake and quickly let go of her.
If I were to do that, how different would I be from my wife!
At the very least, I couldn’t do that before the divorce!
Liu Xin was also embarrassed as she stammered, “I… I’m fine.”
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. “I have to go.”
I turned around and was about to leave.
“If… if you get a divorce, will you consider me…?”
At this moment, I heard a voice behind me.
I jolted and stopped.
But I stopped for only a moment, I didn’t say a word as I took another step and marched forward!
Would I?
I don’t know!
However, I rejected her before. How am I qualified to ‘consider’ her again?!
I wasn’t worthy!
I walked two streets before I could recover from my muddled thoughts.
Just as I was about to head back home, my phone rang.
I took my phone out and saw “Wang Zhongtian” displayed on the screen.
He was a little older than me. He was the manager of one of the stores in the chain of real estate properties I had invested in.
Because of our affinity, I was on good terms with him. Even after my investment failed and I ended up in my current state, he contacted me often and we can be considered friends.
“Hey, Zhang Teng! Liu Wei has been found!” As soon as the call connected, he sent me an earth-shattering message!
“What?!” I exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Wei was my investment partner.
Back then, he approached me to join the investment.
In the end, after I invested all the money I had, the stores had just begun to bring in profit. He took all the investment and clients’ money, which amounted to more than twelve million yuan, and ran away!
That incident had plunged my life into the depths of the abyss!
It could be said that he was one of the main reasons for my current predicament!
The police have been searching for him for a long time. There was no news of him at all. I thought that we would never be able to catch him. Unexpectedly, we did!
“But there’s bad news.” On the phone, Wang Zhongtian said solemnly, “The money is gone…”
I started to tremble, but then I thought better of it. “That might not be true. I know him. He’s not the kind of man who would spend all his money in such a short time.”
Wang Zhongtian pressed on, “I heard that he’s addicted to gambling. You should know how much debt one can incur. However, I have the same opinion as you. Let’s meet at night and eat dinner. I know a place, I’ll send you the address later.”
I hesitated.
Dinner? That would be a little late. My wife and parents-in-law would probably grumble again.
At this point, would I still need to care about their feelings?
This was important. Since Wang Zhongtian said he wanted to meet, then it had to be something important. I had to go!
Around 9:00 p.m., I arrived at the barbecue place he suggested.
Wang Zhongtian was there when I arrived. He beckoned for me to sit and ordered more food.
I studied my surroundings.
We sat at a table facing the glass wall. We could clearly see the street outside.
After ordering, Wang Zhongtian said, “Liu Wei had most likely transferred his assets beforehand. Therefore, he would rather go to jail than cough up the money. And there is only one person he can trust.”
“His wife!” I replied solemnly.
Wang Zhongtian laughed heartily. “Yes! You haven’t forgotten how well he treats his wife!”
The image of Liu Wei’s wife flashed across my mind.
Her looks were above average and she could be considered pretty.
However, her figure was really voluptuous. She especially liked to wear sexy and skimpy clothes, and she was a sight to behold.
Hence, there were plenty of rumors circulating behind their backs.
Wang Zhongtian suddenly leaned forward and whispered to me, “Do you know why I invited you to this barbeque spot?”
He didn’t mention anything, and I didn’t care. I just assumed it was a nice place to eat.
But since he brought it up, there had to be a reason. I studied my surroundings curiously. “What is special about this place?”
Wang Zhongtian looked across the street and said, “This shop happens to be outside Liu Wei’s apartment. About ten minutes ago, Liu Wei’s wife got into that car with a man.”
I turned around in surprise.
Across the street, it was indeed a small district.
At this moment, there was an SUV under the trees by the road.
After taking a closer look, I immediately noticed that the car was shaking rhythmically!
How could I not understand what was happening? I frowned.
Liu Wei’s wife was cheating on her husband!
This scene felt familiar.
My wife and that bald vice president were also in the Bentley…
Did these adulterers enjoy being in the car so much?!
Wang Zhongtian added happily, “They’ll still take a while. Let’s eat first.”
Half an hour later, the door opened and Liu Wei’s wife alighted from the car. She said goodbye to the man in the car reluctantly and gracefully sauntered back.
“I’ll continue to keep an eye on this woman. In the future, I might be able to work on her to get the money back,” Wang Zhongtian said calmly.
I have to admit that his methods and attitude are much better than mine.
But my mind kept replaying the shaking of the car, and I could only manage a few perfunctory replies as I focused on drinking.
It was nearly midnight when I drove home slightly drunk.
In the underground parking lot, I sat in my car and didn’t get out.
I stayed seated for at least five minutes before I took out my phone and dialed my wife’s number.
“What happened to you?! Why aren’t you home in the middle of the night!” My wife growled.
“I’m in the parking lot. Come down for a second. It’s important.” I did my best to stay calm. With that, I hung up.
When I ended the call, I noticed that my hands were shaking. I couldn’t help it!
This was the first time I’ve done something like this in a place like this!
However, I couldn’t forget those images!
I remembered that back then, I once thought of having fun with her in a car before.
However, she would always refuse or even become upset with me.
But she allowed that disgusting, bald vice president to act recklessly with her in the car?
Why wasn’t I qualified to do that with her in a car?
A few minutes later, my wife entered the parking lot in her nightgown with her phone in her hand.
I opened the door and let her in.
“You drank again?” She realized immediately.
I looked at her as my eyes slowly turned red, and my breathing quickened.
This was my wife!
I’ll do whatever I want!
“Zhang Teng, what are you doing!” My wife probably sensed that something was wrong, and her expression changed slightly.
I pounced on her!
Liu Xin smiled. “I thought you had already forgotten about me.”
“How is that possible?” I replied awkwardly.
She invited me to sit down, and as if she was trying to ease the awkwardness, she started chatting with me.
I heaved a sigh of relief. After chatting with her for a while, I blurted out, “Are you… married?”
