The story begins on an ordinary summer evening, where the sun is slanting and dyes the entire neighborhood a warm orange. I am an ordinary housewife named Liu Fang and have twin sons, Liu Ming and Liu Jie. That day, I was preparing dinner at home when I suddenly received a strange call, and a message came from the other end that shocked me.
Hey, hello, I'm Xiao Li from your husband's unit. I have something to tell you, your husband ......”
My heart swelled, and all sorts of bad speculations popped up in my head. Xiao Li continued: "Your husband has not had a simple relationship with a female colleague recently, I think you should know. ”
The phone in my hand almost slipped out of my hand, and I froze there, my heart beating faster like a dream. I never imagined that there would come a day when the family, which I thought was the most solid fortress, would be shaken.
I quickly pulled myself together, and the corners of my mouth barely hooked into a smile: "Oh, yes?".Xiao Li, thank you for telling me. I'll take care of it. "* After hanging up, I stood silently in front of the window, looking at the sunset outside, as if my mood was blown away by a gust of wind, and I couldn't grasp it.
In the next few days, I began to observe my husband Wang Qiang and found that he was indeed a little strange recently. He originally cared about his family, but he became silent, and he went home less of the warmth of the past. I decided to rise to the challenge and uncover the seemingly peaceful surface of the family.
In the evening, I waited for Wang Qiang to come home, sat on the sofa, and resolved to reveal the doubts in my heart: "Qiang, we seem to have been a little estranged recently, what's wrong with you?."”
Wang Qiang had an indifferent expression on his face, threw down his bag casually, and said lightly: "It's nothing, I'm busy with work." ”
I didn't intend to let him go easily, so I asked bluntly, "Is there anything you want to hide from me?"”
He looked at me, was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "The thing is, there is a new colleague in the unit recently, she has encountered some problems at work, and I am just helping her solve them." ”
I chuckled and understood. I didn't blame him, I just said lightly: "I trust you, but I hope you can understand me too." ”
However, it's not that simple. In the days that followed, I found that Wang Qiang was even more estranged, always playing with his mobile phone at night, and no longer cared about his family. I began to wonder if I was too innocent and if I should be more vigilant.
So, I decided to find the female colleague who was making me feel uneasy. One weekend, I put on light makeup, changed into decent clothes, and went straight to Wang Qiang's unit. At the entrance of the building, I met a woman with long hair, she looked unremarkable, but I keenly sensed something unusual.
I pretended to be accosting me inadvertently, "Hello, are you working here?"I am Wang Qiang's wife. ”
She smiled and replied politely, "Oh, hello, I'm Wang Qiang's colleague, Xiao Li." ”
Xiao Li?When I heard this name, I was shocked, it was the Xiao Li who called **. I continued to talk to her for a while, and found that she was polite on the surface, but in fact there was some hostility. I immediately understood that she was not just a colleague.
I didn't show much emotion, but the fire in my heart burned brighter. After returning home, I decided to have a showdown with Wang Qiang. I found an opportunity, sat in front of him, and said bluntly: "Qiang, I know everything, Xiao Li is not just an ordinary colleague." ”
Wang Qiang was a little stunned, looked at me, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly put down the document in his hand and looked at me seriously: "Fang, I do have some questions that need to be explained. Xiao Li is indeed my colleague, but we are just an ordinary working relationship, don't get me wrong. ”
I stared into his eyes, trying to find some clues in his expression. His eyes were frank and sincere, and I couldn't help but waver a little. Am I suspicious?
Over the next few days, I chose to trust him and we tried to realign the family atmosphere. However, on one night when I was out with Wang Qiang, an unexpected scene made me fall into deep doubt again.
We were having dinner together at a restaurant and happened to see Xiao Li sitting not far away with another man. She noticed us, a mocking smile, and the stranger was strange.
But the man wrapped his arms around her waist. I was shocked that the matter was far from over.
When I got home, I decided to face the problem head-on again. I sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for Wang Qiang to come back. When he entered the room, he saw my silent expression and was a little nervous: "Fang, what's wrong with you?".”
I decided not to hesitate any longer and said calmly: "Let's talk about Xiao Li again." ”
Wang Qiang looked at me, his lips moved, and finally he spat out something that broke my heart: "Fang, I don't want to lie anymore." I have some relationship with Xiao Li that I shouldn't have. ”
I was stunned, this answer hit me where I was most vulnerable. Wang Qiang continued: "I know I was wrong, but I'm also really sorry. The problems between us, maybe we should face them well. ”
I stood up, tears streaming down my face, it all happened so suddenly that I didn't know what to do. The rift in the marriage widened in an instant, and the once warm family was shattered in an instant.
This night, I sat alone in front of the window, looking at the city lights in the distance, and my heart was full of confusion and disappointment. Love can be so fragile, and the happiness of the past left me overnight. The future becomes ambiguous.
