Fu Qinglun suddenly stopped in his tracks. His broad hand gripped the phone tightly. “What did you say?”

“Qinglun, you heard me clearly. Your wife’s hymen was reconstructed. It’s fake.”

Fu Qinglun’s handsome, refined face turned frosty. “Lu Qi’er, do you think that I will believe you?”

“Qinglun, don’t lie to yourself. Actually you do mind it very much. Don’t you want to know who was the first man of your wife, Lin s.h.i.+yu?”

Fu Qinglun pursed his thin lips grimly.

“Qinglun, I will wait for you. I know you will definitely come.” Lu Qi’er hung up the phone immediately.

Fu Qinglun froze on the spot. His rational mind was telling him that he should head to the airport immediately, but he was unable to dismiss Lu Qi’er’s words. His feet felt like they were weighed down by lead, and he could not move at all.

—-Your wife’s hymen is fake.

—-Your wife was not a virgin.

These words reverberated around his ears like a curse that he was unable to absolve himself of. He strode ahead to find Lu Qi’er.

…

At the hall in the airport.

There was an over-sized pair of sungla.s.ses perched on Lin s.h.i.+yu’s ravis.h.i.+ng face. She was carrying a luggage in her right hand, and her cell phone in her left as she conversed with her mother.

“Mom, I’m going to Mexico with Fu Qinglun. If we manage to settle down over there, I will come over to fetch you…”

“s.h.i.+’s.h.i.+, you don’t have to worry. Although Qinglun does not belong to the Fu family anymore, he is a good man. He needs your companions.h.i.+p and support at this moment. I will only be well if the two of you are well. Don’t worry about me.”

“Mm, Mom, I’m hanging up now. Please take care.”

Lin s.h.i.+yu hung up the phone.

Lin s.h.i.+yu placed the cell phone in her bag and looked around. She did not see the familiar handsome figure.

Where was he? He still had not arrived.

Lin s.h.i.+yu sat down to wait. She waited for 20 minutes.

There was a broadcast at the airport —- “Pa.s.sengers on board to Mexico, please board the plane. The plane is about to take off.”

A few minutes later, the plane took off. Fu Qinglun still did not come.

Lin s.h.i.+yu’s pretty eyes saw people in front of her come and go in groups. Her exquisite features became solemn, and she tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. She stood up and left with her luggage.

Just then, the melodious ringtone of her cell phone sounded. She had an incoming phone call.

It was from Lu Qi’er.

Lin s.h.i.+yu received the call. “h.e.l.lo.”

“s.h.i.+yu, are you waiting for Qinglun? Has Qinglun arrived?” Lu Qi’er’s mocking laughter came through the phone.

Lin s.h.i.+yu curved her red lips and her smile was chilly. “Lu Qi’er, you called to tell me that Fu Qinglun is with you?”

“Yes, Qinglun is here with me. s.h.i.+yu, you should come over here quickly.”

“Oh, I’m not going over. I don’t care about what you want me to see, whether it’s your kissing or bed scenes. You have already played these tricks numerous times, and I’m sick of it.” With that, Lin s.h.i.+yu hung up immediately.

She dialed for a cab and returned home.

…

Mama Lin was astonished to see Lin s.h.i.+yu return home. Lin s.h.i.+yu crafted a lie and went to her room to sleep.

She drifted in and out of consciousness. She was having nightmares and they seemed relentless, trapping her within a world of dreams.

She dreamed that when she was little, she was floating about in the water vigorously. There was an elder boy in front and she wanted to swim over to save him.

The elder boy was saved. She followed what her teacher had taught and attempted to resuscitate the elder boy.

Soon after, the elder boy vomited a mouthful of water and woke up.

But the scene changed. The elder brother suddenly held her down and pinned her onto the ground.

It was painful.

It hurt so much.

The nerves in her head hurt. Lin s.h.i.+yu clutched the bedsheets with her fair hands and grimaced in pain. There was a film of cold perspiration on her forehead.

She shook her head and muttered some words weakly. “Don’t… let go of me… let go of me…”

The scene changed again. She was standing alone. She went back to look for her Mom.

Her Mom screamed in shock when she saw her. She was wearing a white dress, and blood was trickling down between her legs along with some stains.

“Ah!”

Her Mom swiftly carried her. Then she saw her Mom crying uncontrollably and kept questioning who that person. Mom said she wanted to kill that person.

She fainted.

After that, she was curled up in a corner in her room. The room was bare, and she curled herself up into a ball. She hugged her knees with her slender arms. Her little face was numb, and her eyes were like empty holes.

Mom had sent her some rice. One night, she secretly broke the rice bowl. She picked up the sharp shard and cut her white wrist.

Blood.

So much blood.

Too much blood had seeped out, dying her pink slippers a dark mottled red. She collapsed into the pool of blood.

At this juncture, the door was suddenly pushed open. Mom ran into the room and gave a shrill cry. Mom held her with trembling arms.

Mom carried her and ran on the street towards the hospital.

She opened her eyes. Her eyes were like empty holes looking at her mother’s face. Mom was crying, and tears were streaming down her face.

She raised her hand and slowly stroked her mother’s face. She said, “Mom, it hurts… It’s so painful…”

Mom could only cry. Mom’s tears fell onto her little face. It was difficult to differentiate whose tears they were.

“Mom, sorry, I’m in a lot of pain…”

She repeated ‘sorry’, again and again, and said ‘It’s so painful’ nonstop. She loved Mom so much and wished that she could quickly grow up so that she could protect Mom.

When Mom was at the Lin residence, she was always bullied and always wiped her tears secretly. Mom would not let her see, but she knew that Mom had cried. She swore to herself that when she grew up, she would not let Mom cry again.

But she could not do it.

She thought that she would not be able to grow up.

It was so painful that she had forgotten to protect Mom.

She looked at Mom’s face and gently closed her eyes. Two droplets of hot tears glided down from the corners of her eyes.

Lin s.h.i.+yu’s tears streamed down and the luminous tears blurred her little face. Her face was extremely pale.

The bedsheets beneath her were crumpled from her twisting. She dug her nails into her palm and did not even feel any pain.

“Mom, it’s so painful… Mom, I’m sorry.”

Her hoa.r.s.e sobbing sounds reverberated around the quiet room weakly and helplessly.

The scene changed again. She was pushed into a psychology therapy room. Old Master Lin and Mom were standing outside the door. Old Master Lin said that Lin s.h.i.+yu would forget everything about that person after receiving hypnotherapy. s.h.i.+yu would be able to start afresh.

She gently closed her eyes and just like that, she forgot everything.

But after that day, she had changed. She did not like to laugh anymore or make new friends. One day, a boy touched her hand and all she could feel was a sickening feeling, making her want to throw up.

Everything had changed.
