Lin Lanxing was on the verge of madness. She didn't want to be influenced by Song Qinian's words, so she threw her phone onto the dashboard and started the car.
The car drove for a long distance, and her mind became increasingly chaotic.
With a screech, she slammed on the brakes, pulling the car over to the side of the road.
Heaven knew how much courage it took for her to pick up her phone again. No matter what, she had to know the truth.
Song Qinian had sent many things, some photos, some videos.
The first video was from her and Shen Qiwen's wedding day. Lin Qiutong, having drunk a lot, stumbled as she was leaving and was helped by Shen Qiwen into a room.
After that, Shen Qiwen never came out until the next morning. Shortly after, he returned with a bag.
When Lin Qiutong came out, she was no longer wearing the wedding dress from the ceremony, but a bright red dress.
Lin Lanxing felt as if she had been kicked from heaven into hell, her whole body trembling.
On their wedding night, Shen Qiwen hadn't gotten drunk and stayed at the hotel, but had spent the night with Lin Qiutong.
A man and a woman alone in a room, changing clothes before coming out in the morning—even a fool could guess what had happened.
How ironic, on her wedding night with her husband, he had spent it with her dearest sister!
The more she scrolled through the subsequent videos and photos, the more Lin Lanxing's heart chilled.
It turned out that Shen Qiwen had frequently been with Lin Qiutong during their three years of marriage. No wonder Shen Qiwen had been so perfunctory when they were intimate; she had even suspected he had performance issues.
It wasn't that Shen Qiwen was incapable, but that he had poured all his energy and love into Lin Qiutong, leaving only a little to perfunctorily share with her.
Three years. For three whole years, the duration of her marriage to Shen Qiwen was the same as the duration of Shen Qiwen's betrayal with Lin Qiutong.
Her hand gripped the phone tightly, veins bulging on the back of her hand. The anger and sorrow of betrayal made her so furious she wanted to kill someone.
"Beep... beep... beep..."
She slammed heavily on the steering wheel, the blaring of the horn reflecting the extent of her current rage.
After a moment, as if struck by an idea, she took out her phone, took a deep breath, and dialed Shen Qiwen's number.
"Hello, what's wrong?"
Hearing Shen Qiwen's voice, Lin Lanxing sadly realized that every time she called him, his tone was always indifferent.
There was no hint of happiness or joy upon receiving his wife's call; it was as if she were an irrelevant stranger.
"My sister has been taken away by the police."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Lin Lanxing clearly felt Shen Qiwen's breathing become heavier on the other end of the line. His indifferent voice immediately turned anxious.
"What happened?"
A pain shot through Lin Lanxing's chest. If she continued to deceive herself at this point, she truly deserved it.
"Let's meet and talk!"
"Tongtong is pregnant, and we can't afford delays. You must tell me what happened as soon as possible so we can rescue her."
Lin Lanxing gritted her teeth in anger. "I said let's meet and talk! If we don't meet, I won't say anything. Even if you go to the police station, it will be useless."
Shen Qiwen finally heard the unusual tone in Lin Lanxing's voice and immediately said, "Okay, where are you? I'll come find you."
"I'm at our home!"
Lin Lanxing lied. She wasn't actually at home, but she felt some things were better said in the marital home they had built.
"Got it, I'll be right there!"
Shen Qiwen hung up the phone directly. Lin Lanxing's gaze turned cold, and she immediately stepped on the accelerator, starting the car.
Half an hour later, when Lin Lanxing arrived home, she found Shen Qiwen already there, waiting for her by the door with a look of anxiety.
Seeing Lin Lanxing get out of the car, he rushed towards her, grabbing her arm. "I can't reach Tongtong, and the police are tight-lipped. I can't get any information. What exactly happened?"
Lin Lanxing coldly shook off Shen Qiwen's hand. "Before, when I called you home, you were always busy or on a business trip. Even when you were occasionally free, you'd be home an hour later. Weren't you still at work today? You actually came back quite quickly."
After speaking, Lin Lanxing walked into the house on her own. Shen Qiwen frowned, watching her retreating figure, feeling that Lin Lanxing was very strange today.
Entering the house, Lin Lanxing sadly realized that she and Shen Qiwen didn't even have a wedding photo. Their marriage had been so rushed that there was no time for a wedding photoshoot.
Later, when she wanted to make up for it, Shen Qiwen was always busy. Now she realized Shen Qiwen wasn't just busy; he simply didn't want to take wedding photos with her.
Shen Qiwen followed Lin Lanxing inside. Just as he was about to say something, Lin Lanxing's voice rang out first. "Have you noticed that we don't even have a wedding photo?"
Shen Qiwen's mind was entirely occupied with Lin Qiutong. Lin Qiutong was pregnant with his child. If anything happened to her and the baby, what would he do?
"If you want wedding photos, we can take them in a few days. Right now, Tongtong has been arrested, how can we be in the mood..."
Shen Qiwen's words were interrupted by Lin Lanxing.
"To you, my sister will always be more important than me, right? If my sister asked you to do something, would you still drag your feet?"
Shen Qiwen's expression grew increasingly grim. "Is this the time to talk about that?"
Shen Qiwen had never thought Lin Lanxing was so unreasonable. She only wanted a wedding photo, while Tongtong was in police custody. Could she not distinguish between what was more important?
"Fine, then let's not talk about wedding photos. Let's talk about where you were and who you were with on our wedding night."
Shen Qiwen's expression changed slightly. He grabbed Lin Lanxing and asked with a frown, "Did someone say something to you?"
Lin Lanxing looked at Shen Qiwen's handsome face and gave a faint, wry smile. "Should others tell me something? Or have you truly done something to betray me?"
"No! I told you long ago that I was drunk that night..."
"Shut up! Even now, you still want to lie to me. That night, you were clearly with Lin Qiutong!!! It was our wedding night, and you slept with Lin Qiutong. When you were with her, did you think of me, left alone in the empty room?"
Shen Qiwen hadn't expected Lin Lanxing to know about that. No wonder she was acting so strangely today.
"Why aren't you refuting it anymore? Why aren't you continuing to deceive me?"
Shen Qiwen looked at Lin Lanxing expressionlessly. His face showed no guilt or guilt from her angry reprimands.
Seeing him like this, Lin Lanxing's heart ached unbearably, and tears began to fall uncontrollably. "Your silence means what I said is true, right? I'm very curious about one thing: if you've always liked Lin Qiutong, why did you confess to me and propose to me?"
