Double Betrayal, My Husband and My Best Friend - Chapter 11
I quickly got ready.
I pulled a black baseball cap down low and covered half my face with a mask.
I followed closely behind Chen Chengjun.
His car tore through the night, running two yellow lights in a row.
This was not his usual cautious driving style.
It seemed I had indeed hit his weak spot.
The car sped all the way to the café downstairs from Mei Qing’s apartment.
I slipped into the café and went up to the second floor.
Hiding in a corner, I watched Chen Chengjun anxiously scrolling through his phone.
Ten minutes later, Mei Qing stormed in.
“Are you insane?”
“Insisting we meet right now! My parents are home!” Mei Qing said angrily.
“Are you fucking playing me?”
I saw Chen Chengjun lower his voice, each word seeming to be squeezed from between his teeth.
“You got pregnant with a condom on? Do you take me for an idiot?”
“Chen Chengjun, I sent you the lab report, didn’t I? It’s in black and white! This child is yours!”
Chen Chengjun let out a cold laugh.
“Mei Qing, the lab report only proves you’re pregnant. It doesn’t prove whose it is!”
Mei Qing stared at him in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes instantly.
“You… what do you mean? Who else could it be but you?”
“Yeah, right. But don’t you forget, Mei Qing, I wore a fucking condom. I remember it clearly! I wore one every single fucking time!” Chen Chengjun cut her off, his tone ice-cold.
Mei Qing stood up agitatedly.
“Condoms aren’t 100% effective! It says on the box there’s a failure rate! You see it in the news! Why are you so certain I’m lying to you?”
Chen Chengjun took a sharp step closer, his gaze menacing.
“Why? Because I can’t even count how many men you were with before me!”
“A condom, huh? A condom! Why is it that it just happened to fail on you? Mei Qing, who are you trying to fool with such a worn-out excuse? Do you think I’m especially stupid, especially easy to fool? You’re just trying to trap me with some bastard’s kid, aren’t you?”
Mei Qing trembled with rage from his blatant insults.
“Chen Chengjun! You bastard! Yes, I’ve dated before, but since I’ve been with you, there’s been no one else! What kind of person do you take me for?”
Chen Chengjun let out a derisive snort, full of contempt.
“What kind of person do I take you for? A manipulative, lying woman! Getting pregnant with a condom on? The odds of that are lower than winning the lottery, right? Do you think I’m a child?”
Mei Qing completely exploded, her voice filled with desperation.
“Enough, Chen Chengjun! You’re slandering me! I’m telling you, I’m not lying! This child is yours!”
She looked as if she had suddenly been gravely wronged.
“I haven’t even started on you! You said you liked kids, turns out it was all an act. A person like you doesn’t deserve to have children. A person like you should die without any descendants…”
Die without any descendants!
That phrase completely shattered Chen Chengjun.
“Bitch! Go to hell-”
Like a beast pushed to the brink, he lunged at Mei Qing.
Without a shred of mercy, he grabbed Mei Qing’s slender neck!
“Ah…”
The feeling of suffocation sent Mei Qing into a frenzy of struggle.
Her hands clawed uselessly at Chen Chengjun’s arms, her feet kicking and thrashing wildly.
Trying to break free from this madman.
Chen Chengjun’s grip tightened.
Just then.
In her desperate flailing, Mei Qing’s left hand touched the glass of water on the edge of the table.
The instinct for survival gave her the last ounce of strength to smash the glass against Chen Chengjun’s head.
The force was immense, and it made a dull thud.
Chen Chengjun cried out in pain, his grip instinctively loosening for a moment.
But instead of bringing him to his senses, the sharp pain was like fuel on a fire.
He grabbed Mei Qing by the shoulder and shoved her away.
With that violent push, Mei Qing instantly lost her balance.
I watched as she tumbled down the stairs from the café’s second floor.
Under the horrified gazes of the few customers and staff.
After a series of sickening thuds.
Her body landed in a horribly unnatural, twisted position on the cold, hard marble floor below.
A moment later, a deep crimson stain spread out from beneath her.
