The Eight-Year Lie： Shattered Vows and a Vengeful Heart - Chapter 11

Xu Ge was clearly unhappy with the woman’s actions and sternly said, “Shut up, and come with me!”

Just then, Mrs. Liang next to me stood up. “Xu… Xu Ge?”

Xu Ge’s gaze finally landed on me. I slowly rose, looking at Xu Ge in disbelief, and stumbled over, grabbing the report from Xu Ge’s hand.

My chest heaved, my whole body trembled. I stared at him fiercely, then abruptly flung the report at his face, along with the slap I had held back for so long. Pa! Xu Ge’s face turned to the side. I had used so much force that my entire right hand was numb.

“Wife, you… you listen to my explanation, things aren’t what you think!” Xu Ge dropped to his knees, grabbing my hand.

I gritted my back teeth, looking at him. “Don’t… touch me! You’re filthy!”

Xu Ge looked at me in disbelief. “Wife, wife I didn’t…”

I had prepared a belly full of sharp and cutting words, but at that moment, only uncooperative tears came. Tears slowly blurred my vision, and my heart ached so much I couldn’t breathe.

Mrs. Liang next to me pointed at Xu Ge’s nose and scolded him, but she was still well-mannered. Her words contained no vulgarities, yet every syllable was a gem. I knew my goal had been achieved.

The people around us gathered, among them were the people I arranged to secretly record. As long as the video spread, everyone in Lin City would see it: abandoning an eight-year lover and forcing a mistress to have an abortion. I even thought of the title for them. By then, Xu Ge’s promotion would be hopeless, and that woman would have no place to stand in Lin City.

Xu Ge tried to get close to me, but Mrs. Liang blocked him. I originally wanted to say something, but I couldn’t utter a single word. Tears poured out like a floodgate. I crouched on the ground, my body trembling with sobs, my vision turning black.

“Xu Ge, I actually thought you were a good man! I never expected you to be such a heartless scoundrel. You two are about to get married! What are you going to do about Jiang Li?! She’s been with you for eight years! Eight years!”

Yes! Eight years of love transformed me overnight into a venomous woman, dealing with the mistress, ruining his carefully built career, and tarnishing his reputation.

But I couldn’t feel happy at all.

Because I had sacrificed half of myself for this.

My internal organs felt as if someone was twisting them, a metallic taste surged up my throat, and my heart felt like it was being pricked by needles. So this was what heartbreak felt like.

I woke up again in the hospital. Mrs. Liang hadn’t left, and her eyes were still red. I suddenly felt a little bad for her; I had used her repeatedly, yet she still cared for me so much.

Seeing me awake, Mrs. Liang held my hand and delivered a thunderbolt of news.

I was pregnant.
