Chapter 8 — I Fake Pregnancy to Test My Husband's Love

There is no way out, he once again thought of me. He didn't know where he got my number and called me. This time, he did not question or beg to come back. The first thing he said was to borrow money.

"Lam Van, if you beg me, I'll lend you two hundred thousand in advance. Once I get through this difficult period, I'll pay you back immediately."

I heard his vile voice on the phone, only feeling stunned for a moment. Where did he get the face to say this? Is my money blown by a strong wind? Based on what must he take away to save his child and another woman? I'm even too lazy to say another word to him. Just answer in two words.

“Dream on.”

After that, I also pulled his new number into the blacklist. Giang Than's mother, the woman who once scolded me for being a "hen that doesn't know how to lay eggs", after learning that her grandson An Nha gave birth to was sick and needed a large sum of money to stay alive, her attitude also changed one hundred and eighty degrees. She finally realized that Anya, this daughter-in-law, was a bottomless pit burning money. She began to remember her ex-daughter-in-law who didn't spend money, and even often spent her own allowance on household expenses, me. She also called me, the bitterness of the past changed on the phone, she cried and begged me, saying Jiang Chen knew he was wrong, begged me to respect the old friendship and give them a hand. What came back to her was also a busy tone because it was blocked. I will no longer continue to be in the same boat as the "grown-up giant child" whose blood was sucked and eaten by the whole family. Their life and death have nothing to do with me. I completely cut off all ties between me and them, and completely escaped that life like a mud puddle.

One year later. The sunshine of the new city is still bright, the sea breeze is as gentle as before. Based on my own efforts, I have stood firm in the company, promoted from a small team leader to a department manager. I used the money I saved for a year, plus my own savings, to buy a small apartment of my own in this city, not big, but warm. Next to me also appeared a gentle and thoughtful pursuer. He is a colleague in my company, a clean, bright guy. We are at the stage of getting to know each other, everything is good just in time. And Giang Than, the man who once played the most important role in my life, soon turned into a vague shadow. It is said that in order to pay for the child's high hospital bills, he ended up selling our wedding house. After An Nha received a sum of money, she criticized him for his poverty and decline, threw her sick child back to him, ran away on her own, and has not been heard from since. Giang Than completely became a poor man, raising his sick child alone and being in debt. He was fired from his old company, could only rely on doing errands and delivering food to maintain a living, and lived in a small, dark room. Late one night, my boyfriend and I had just finished watching a movie and were on our way home. Across the street, a man in uniform delivering food and driving an electric vehicle hurried past. While waiting for the red light, he unconsciously raised his head, his eyes facing us. Even though he's wearing a helmet Dangerous, haggard face, I still recognized him at a glance. It's Giang Than. He also saw me. Seeing the man next to me, seeing the brilliant smile that came from the bottom of my heart on my face. That's the look that I've never had when I was with him. The green light turns on. I took my boyfriend's arm, looked at each other and smiled, turned around and walked into the warm light. I don't turn back anymore. I know, at that moment, Giang Than finally understood that he had completely and forever lost me. His life and my life went in two completely different directions. When I got home, I finished showering, stood on my small balcony, looking at the sun slowly rising above the horizon in the distance. The yellow light dyed the horizon red, also illuminating my face. I took out my phone, took a photo of this beautiful scene, and posted a post to my friends circle. No positioning, no unnecessary words. Only two words. Newborn. (Completed.)
