Chapter 27

I cleared my throat, my tone extremely calm. “Zhaodi, you say he doesn’t love me, but does he love you?”

“Of course!” she answered, quick and certain.

“Oh? What proof do you have?”

“He’s willing to spend money on me, to coax me, to buy me gifts. Where there’s money, there’s love-you know that, right?”

She even tried to persuade me with her little-woman mentality.

“But as long as we’re not divorced, the money can’t reach you. What other leverage do you have to prove he loves you?”

She was still too naive, continuing to justify herself.

“Don’t try to drive a wedge between us. As soon as Qinghong knew I was pregnant, he arranged for me to go to the U.S to give birth. My child will be a U.S citizen.”

“He even bought me a house here to make my life easier in the future.”

I took a sip of tea and shook my head. All of this was already known-just more variety to my evidence, nothing of much use.

“He did all that for me too. What makes you so special to him?”

She grew agitated, blurting out:

“He even set up a trust for our child here, over two million dollars!”

“A trust, you know what that is, right?” She thought I was just a housewife who didn’t even understand what a trust was.
