Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

Lili's raised hand froze in mid-air.

She glanced at the report, then at Zhao Min, who was crying her eyes out.

Years of friendship, coupled with the "independent woman" mindset that Zhao Min had instilled in her, made her head start to spin.

"Are you telling the truth?" Lily's brows furrowed, and her tone softened noticeably.

"Was it really just a chance encounter at the hospital where you were accompanying a patient?"

It seemed that Zhao Min was about to use her manipulative tactics to smooth things over in this farce.

Bai Li tapped his cigarette ash at the bottom of the steps.

He had one hand in his trench coat pocket, looking down at the dog-eat-dog drama unfolding.

"Whether it's true or false, wouldn't it be clear by checking their cards?"

Bai Li's voice was relaxed, with a languid air that seemed to see through everything:

"You probably still have surveillance footage from your ex-husband's house linked to your phone. Take a look."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qian immediately became excited.

The young delinquent girl clung tightly to Bai Li, her full, firm body rubbing against his arm with each breath.

"Big brother is absolutely right!" Zhang Qian tossed her striking blue hair.

"These days, who doesn't have a security camera at home to keep out thieves and dogs? Today, let's investigate this treacherous bitch!"

monitor?

Lili stood there, stunned.

The floodgates of memory were suddenly opened.

Four months ago.

At that time, she and Lin Yongde were very much in love.

That month, Lin Yongde had just secured a big contract and was in high spirits, so he invited Zhao Min to his home for a celebration banquet.

That night, the three of them drank a lot of alcohol.

She herself was completely drunk and unconscious...

Lili's hands trembled as she swiped her phone screen and opened the cloud monitoring app.

The calendar went back and forth wildly, finally settling on that night four months ago.

Pull out the progress bar.

The video has a built-in audio recording function, and the image is projected directly onto the phone screen.

The booth was completely silent.

Even Ai Tianbi, who was on the verge of going crazy, craned her neck and stared intently at the screen.

In the surveillance footage.

As soon as Lili and Lin Yongde got home, they suggested setting off celebratory firecrackers, which they quickly finished on the sofa in the living room.

Doorbell rang.

Lili casually put on a nightgown and went to open the door. Zhao Min, carrying several bottles of foreign liquor and packed snacks, swaggered in.

Lili then went to the master bedroom to shower and change clothes, and chased Lin Yongde into the bathroom as well.

Zhao Min was the only one left in the living room.

In the video, Zhao Min is pouring peanuts into a plate while incessantly complaining to the air.

"Tianbi is getting worse and worse. He wears skinny jeans all the time and looks like a loser."

"That fat bastard Wang Wei is disgusting; he's so stingy he won't even buy me a bag."

She cursed her two exes, but her eyes, like searchlights, greedily scanned the expensive solid wood furniture and imported appliances in the duplex apartment.

The intense, almost bleeding greed in his eyes was clearly visible under the infrared lens.

After several rounds of drinks...

One o'clock in the morning.

Lin Yongde and Lili were both drunk and fast asleep in the guest room.

In the surveillance footage, Zhao Min gets up from the sofa.

She neither went to the restroom nor left.

She tiptoed to the sofa and squatted down.

Zhao Min held up two fingers and rummaged through a pile of waste paper and fruit peels.

Then, she carefully picked up a condom.

It's the one that Lin Yongde and Lili used on the sofa before!

Zhao Min glanced around furtively.

After confirming that no one was around, she clutched the thing and ducked into the bathroom next to the guest room.

It lasted a full half hour.

The bathroom door was then pushed open again.

Zhao Min walked out, leaning against the door frame, her expression extremely strange, revealing a kind of morbid madness.

The video played to this point, the progress bar reached the bottom, and the screen went dark.

The bar was deathly silent, with only the vibrations from the dance floor pounding against the soles of my feet.

Wang Wei's jaw dropped to his chest, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Zhang Qian felt a wave of nausea and vomiting.

"Holy shit..." the punk girl cursed, clinging tightly to Bai Li's waist, her pretty face deathly pale.

"Is this something a normal human being could do?"

"I've never heard of such a thing before. What kind of genius could come up with it?"

Bai Li reached out and put his arm around Zhang Qian's supple waist, soothing the frightened little wildcat in his arms.

This woman's methods can be described as breaking the lower limit of carbon-based life.

The planning for this artificial insemination procedure began four months ago...

She conceived using Lin Yongde and her best friend's waste, then turned around and brainwashed her best friend to force her to divorce.

During this time, they also squeezed Wang Wei and Ai Tianbi's hard-earned money until there was nothing left.

This scheme was extremely ruthless!

"Zhao Min!!!"

Lili let out a shrill scream that went so horribly wrong.

She threw down her phone and pounced on him like a raging wild beast.

He gripped Zhao Min's neck tightly with both hands and shook her violently.

"You're absolutely shameless!!"

Lili's tears streamed down her face, and veins bulged on her forehead.

"Using condoms that Lin Yongde and I used to do such a despicable and filthy thing!"

"You keep whispering in my ear, telling me to escape this misery and get a divorce. And yet you're secretly doing this despicable thing?!"

"How the hell have you done anything to me? Say something! Say something!"

His underwear was completely exposed, and the lie could no longer be covered up.

Zhao Min simply gave up and went all out.

She stopped pretending to be pitiful. A grating, eerie laugh escaped her throat.

"Giggle..."

Zhao Min forcefully pried Lili's hands off and climbed up from the messy sofa.

With her pregnant belly, she looked down at her distraught best friend and completely lost her mind.

"Am I worthy of you?"

Zhao Min pointed at Lili's nose, her face revealing undisguised meanness and malice:

"Who told you to be so silly all day long!"

"What makes you better than me? You're just a little more attractive, right? Why do you get to live in a luxury apartment and drive a multi-million dollar car?"

"Am I just supposed to keep up with that fatso and that stinky Tianbi, working myself to death?"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, waving her hands in the air:

"You're always showing off your high-class life in front of me."

"Fine, I'm going to snatch him away, so what?!"

"It's a matter of individual ability; if you can't protect your man, whose fault is it?"

Lili slumped to the ground, staring at the ghost-like woman before her, her mind completely blank.

Zhao Min had no intention of stopping.

"You don't know yet, do you?" Zhao Min raised her chin, extremely arrogant.

"Lin Yongde accompanied me to my prenatal checkup that day."

"Upon seeing the date on the form, he immediately checked for an expedited paternity test. After confirming that the child was his, he..."

Zhao Min clutched her stomach, laughing unrestrainedly.

"He and I were in the hospital's basement."

"You practically kicked the roof off the back of that Bentley you hate the most!"

Ai Tianbi trembled as she listened, her nails digging into her flesh.

Wang Wei was even more grateful that he ran fast, otherwise the vast grassland above his head would have been perfect for letting horses graze.

"I know Lin Yongde, that kind of top-quality man, all too well." Zhao Min's eyes were full of shrewdness and calculation.

"He's very wary. Every time he does something with me, I have to take special precautions."

"He clearly just wanted to play with me, to use me as a free toy for his own sexual gratification."

"But he never dreamed that I had a killer move!"

Zhao Min pointed to her stomach, wildly boasting about her "achievements":

"Not just that one time at your house!"

"Every time after that, in the hotel, in the big apartment you once owned, after we were done, I would sneak a condom into my bag and take it into the bathroom when he wasn't looking."

"Then, everything was used to its fullest potential, without reservation!"

"If you don't succeed once, try twice; if you don't succeed twice, try ten times!"

"As long as he's healthy, this child will have to come and stay with me sooner or later!"

Zhao Min laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight, and reached out to pat the faintly visible wing tattoo on her inner thigh.

"Didn't you just ask how you got this tattoo?"

A morbid greed ignited in Zhao Min's eyes: "This was personally taken to be tattooed by Lin Yongde! It's the Bentley winged emblem!"

"I'm going to give my big B wings! Let it carry me out of this stinking ditch in the urban village, let it soar into the sky! Hahahaha!"

"Why can you all be wealthy wives, but I can't?"

"I'm pregnant with his child now, and that big apartment, along with his company, will all be mine sooner or later!"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha"

The ear-piercing laughter echoed incessantly from the second floor of the bar.

Lili looked at the conspicuous wing tattoo and listened to Zhao Min's almost perverted scheming, and her psychological defenses completely collapsed.

She covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face through her fingers.

That man originally belonged entirely to her.

When Lin Yongde was with her, he was never unfaithful and was generous to her, never shortchanging her materially.

but.

Just because they listened to this rotten woman's instigation, for the sake of so-called "emotional value" and "women's freedom."

I actually acted like an idiot and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to sign the papers.

The grand apartments are gone, the luxury cars are gone, and the quality of life is gone.

All of it was taken over by this woman who was rummaging through the trash can for secondhand goods.

Lily collapsed in despair on the floor littered with shards of glass, letting out a heart-wrenching wail.

She personally delivered all the wealth and glory of her life into this woman's mouth.
