Chapter 280: Chapter 280
At this moment, Yin Qi, still completely in the dark, inexplicably received a letter at home. After tearing it open, a disk fell out. A yellow sticky note was attached on top, with the words: Do you want to know who your husband’s lover is? Those few short words cut deeply into her eyes.
When Yin Qi saw the scene on the screen in front of her—the shameless entanglement of a man and a woman—she went mad, picking up a chair and smashing it against the computer, along with anything else she could smash.
In a matter of moments, the entire study was a complete mess. Exhausted, Yin Qi collapsed to her knees on the floor, tears streaming down her face as she wept, her sobs starting small and growing into loud, wailing cries.
What had she done wrong to deserve this kind of betrayal from him? And that slut—she had always considered her to be her best friend! But what about her? One moment acting friendly, and the next, sleeping with her husband behind her back. In Qian Rouxuan’s mind, where exactly had she put Yin Qi?
No wonder that day when Li Si had been confronted, she had said such strange things—it must have been because she already knew something. And yet, Yin Qi, not only failing to notice immediately, even foolishly defended Qian Rouxuan, looked down on Li Si, and arrogantly said all those things.
At that moment, Qian Rouxuan must have been laughing at her in secret, right? Calling her a complete idiot!
So it turns out, the whole world knew the truth. And she was the only big fool, still thinking she was so happy, that her marriage was so loving!
Yin Qi had completely lost it!
She was filled with an overwhelming urge to rush in front of Qian Rouxuan, tear off her fake mask, and demand if her conscience had been eaten by dogs!
And Han Mingzhe—he claimed, time and again, that he loved her. Is this what he called love?
Immediately, she grabbed her phone and dialed Han Mingzhe’s number. No, she had to get clarity. Did he love her or not?
But the only reply was the robotic female voice on the other end of the line: "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently switched off."
That’s when she remembered—Han Mingzhe had left this morning, carrying the suitcase she had so carefully packed for him the night before, saying he was going on a business trip.
She let out a cold laugh. A business trip? Was it really a business trip, or was it an excuse to hook up with some other tramp?
She had never doubted him before. But now? Now, she couldn’t trust a single thing.
This kind of betrayal would be unbearable for any woman, let alone someone like Yin Qi, who loved and trusted him so deeply. For a moment, she felt utterly lost, heartbroken, standing up in a daze. She unconsciously bit her fingernails and paced nervously around the room.
Her head swirled with memories, both of Han Mingzhe and of Qian Rouxuan. But in the end, they all coalesced into that one scene—the two of them, naked, entangled together.
"Ah!" Yin Qi flung her phone as hard as she could. With a loud crash, it fell to the floor, shattered into pieces—a fate as broken and fragmented as her heart.
She clutched her head in pain and screamed, as if by expelling the heavy air trapped in her chest, she could alleviate even a fraction of the agony. Otherwise, she felt like she was going to explode!
Just then, the sharp sound of the doorbell echoed from downstairs, followed by the voice of the maid opening the door.
Yin Qi didn’t care who had come. With everything that had happened, how could she have the energy to deal with anyone?
But soon, the maid’s voice drifted up from below: "Madam, there are two people here from the police station to see you!"
Yin Qi’s face turned pale with shock. The police station? Why were they looking for her?
Fear surged through her inexplicably, but after that initial panic, she tried to reassure herself. She hadn’t done anything wrong—what was there to be afraid of? Could it be something to do with Han Mingzhe? All of a sudden, her nerves wound tight again. Had he gotten himself into trouble?
The maid’s voice came again: "Madam, did you hear me?"
Helpless, Yin Qi called down toward the stairs: "I heard! You—you tell them to wait a moment! I’ll come down after I change my clothes!"
"Understood!" the maid replied politely.
Yin Qi glanced around the study, now a wreck from her rampage. She couldn’t stay there. Turning, she headed to the bedroom, splashed her face with water in the bathroom, and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were swollen and red, her hair a mess.
Taking a deep breath, she fixed her hair but skipped putting on makeup. Without further hesitation, she went downstairs. Google seaʀᴄh novel·fiɾe·net
Seated on the living room sofa were a man and a woman. The man made an immediate impression—dark-skinned, muscular, with sharp, stern features and piercing eyes. The moment Yin Qi came down, his unrelenting gaze made her scalp tingle. This was, unmistakably, Heizi.
The woman, by comparison, was much less intimidating. Ordinary-looking, but with bright, kind eyes that gave off an air of warmth.
"And you are?" Yin Qi asked curiously as she sized them up. Seeing them stand, she quickly motioned, "Oh, no need! Please, sit!" Then, turning toward the kitchen, she called out for the maid to bring them tea.
