Li Man sat in the car and cried for a long time until she cried herself out and her emotions gradually calmed down. Suddenly, she remembered that this car had a dash cam installed.
She hurriedly turned on the dash cam, but the video footage disappointed her greatly, because this car had a single lens dash cam that could only see the outside of the car and not the inside.
Luckily, the dash cam's audio recording function was still on.
She turned on the audio recording and after some noisy sounds, she heard a coy voice say, "Dear, I really want to go to the ancient town for a walk. We haven't gone out to play in a long time."
"If you want to go, then go. I'll arrange my work tomorrow and go with you the day after tomorrow."
Hearing this voice, Li Man couldn't hold back her tears. So he didn't go on a business trip, but went to play with his mistress instead.
Ironically, she was the one who drove him to his tryst with his lover.
"Really? Dear, you're so nice!" After some cheers, she heard the sound of a kiss.
"Haha..." Huang Dehan laughed heartily and said, "Of course it's true! No matter where you want to go, I'll go with you!"
"Dear, I love you to death. When are you finally going to divorce her and marry me?"
"Baby, don't rush. With my mom's condition, she doesn't have many years left. Once my mom passes, I'll divorce her and marry you right away."
"Humph! You always say that. I don't want to keep waiting."
"Silly girl, even if we get a caregiver for my mom, you'd still have to help out and take care of her. I can't bear to see my darling work so hard. Your hands are only meant to serve me."
"Hehe...that's so mean!" She hesitated and then said, "I guess I can help out a bit."
"Uh-huh...baby, it's not as simple as you think to care for a bedridden old woman. Are you willing to live with my mom? She's incontinent. Could you tolerate that kind of smell?"
"Then...let's send her to a nursing home."
"That won't work. Nursing homes don't accept bedridden patients."
"Sigh!" The woman sighed heavily and said, "Nevermind then!"
Huang Dehan comforted her, "Just wait a little longer. I promise, as soon as my mom passes, I'll divorce her and marry you right away."
Hearing this, Li Man felt like a bucket of cold water had been dumped over her head.
She trembled with anger. She was the one working like an ox and a horse at home caring for his bedridden mother, while he was just waiting for his mother to die so he could divorce her.
What did he take her for? Free labor?
In the next audio clip, Huang Dehan called the woman to tell her he had arranged time off work and booked plane tickets. They could leave tomorrow.
The woman cheered and they discussed where they would go and made plans to go out for dinner.
After dinner, Huang Dehan suggested going up the mountain.
The dash cam only saved 3 days of audio and video.
After listening to 3 days of recordings, Li Man watched the videos again.
In the 3 days of footage, she saw Huang Dehan frequently picking up the same woman.
Seeing this woman, Li Man was stunned for a moment.
She had seen this woman that morning at the airport when the woman had bumped into her.
Now that she thought about it, it probably wasn't an accident but done deliberately.
At the time, she had thought the woman was quite pretty, so she left an impression.
Li Man watched the videos over and over.
She saw yesterday's video of the woman waiting by the road for Huang Dehan. They went to dinner, then drove up the mountain.
Afterwards, Huang Dehan dropped the woman off at home.
They were up on the mountain for over two hours.
They didn't come down until almost 11:30pm.
Li Man angrily clenched her fists because yesterday was her birthday!
She had cooked a big table of dishes, then called Huang Dehan to tell him to come home early because today was her birthday.
Huang Dehan told her he had to work late and couldn't get away. He told her to eat first and that he would come back later to celebrate with her.
In the end, Huang Dehan didn't get home until 12:30am.
By then she was already asleep.
Li Man laughed through her tears. Her heart ached as if ripped to shreds. She sobbed and laughed, pounding the steering wheel violently, seemingly deranged, as if she had lost her mind.
Li Man cried sorrowfully.
From college to wedding gowns, they were in love for 4 years and married for 12 years - 16 years of feelings altogether.
She grieved for their lost love.
