Chapter 09 Investigated Me
My heart was tense. He gave me a business card that day and told me to figure out what compensation I would like him to
provide. These days, the hospital urged me to pay my mom the hospitalization fee. I did want to ask Chan Cheng for money. But
I finally didn't.
I hated him, but I didn't want the so-called compensation, which made me feel like I'm selling my body.
"No need. You helped me." I looked at him and spoke. My mood was complicated.
Before tonight, I hated Chan Cheng because I felt that all of this was caused by him.
However, tonight I learned that Jim Qin has been involved with Kathy Jin when he was with me.
It's said that if a man betrays you, he will betray you forever. In the past month, Jim Qin has brought home so many different
women. Were these women also like Kathy Jin, who had an affair with Jim?
Although Jim told Kathy the day before the wedding that he would cut off contact, could he really do it?
Moreover, even if they broke contact in the future, Jim Qin still cheated when he was in love with me.
I was wrong with having sex with other men before getting married. I also admitted my mistakes, and also suffered from the
anger of Jim Qin and his parents. However, this incident was an accident. But Jim Qin and his parents refused to listen to my
explanation at all and even humiliated me.
The same thing happened to Jim Qin, but Jim Qin didn't think he was wrong. Tonight, he even was able to confidently say that I
was not worthy for him to cut contact with Kathy.
This was a complete double standard!
This incident made me understand instantly. If this incident did not happen before marriage, then my other "mistakes" after
marriage would also be treated in this way.
Jim Qin's love for me was always high above. This was not a balanced relationship between us.
My mood was very complicated. From this perspective, it was Chan Cheng's "Hunger" that pulled off the mask of Jim Qin. It also
made me clearly find out what kind of person Jim is.
Chan looked at me with a faint expression, grabbed the cigarette case casually, put a cigarette in his mouth, and picked up the
lighter. He just paused when he was about to light it, looked at me, and asked, "Do you mind?"
I shook my head subconsciously and looked as Chan Cheng lighted the cigarette, suddenly I had a little eager to try.
"Can you give me one?" I subconsciously said.
It is said that smoking can relieve worries, I wanted to try it too.
Chan Cheng frowned slightly, looked at me calmly, but did not answer me, "What are you going to do now?"
I was silent again, and one word emerged in my heart — divorce.
I was overwhelmed during this month, not to mention what happened tonight.
But divorce...
Thinking of the hospital fees my mother owed and the bride price that Jim Qin wanted, I just felt a headache.
The stepfather refuses to sell the house, and the house is not under my name. Bell Lin said that a lawsuit can be brought as long
as I find out that the money source is me, I can own the house.
However, if my mother knew that I was in a lawsuit with my stepfather, her physical condition would worsen. And my mother has
been persuading me to keep bearing, expecting that Jim Qin will calm down and live a good life with me.
If I talked about divorce, my mother would disagree.
"If it's about money, you don't need to worry. I can return the Qin family's bride price, and I can pay for your mother's
hospitalization. In this way, you should be able to divorce him."
I froze for a moment, surprises at how he guessed my thoughts.
"This matter is because of me, and I should be responsible." Chan Cheng flicked the ash, then took a puff of cigarette suddenly,
squeezing the cigarette butt out in the ashtray.
His eyes fell on me, and he said without shyness: "I have also investigated Jim Qin these days. He is not a good husband, at
least not suitable for you."
"Did you investigate me too?" I blurted out these words. If he didn't investigate me, how did he know if Jim Qin is suitable for me?
Chan nodded to me. I suddenly became angry. I didn't know whether to say that he is frank or disrespectful. But I felt annoyed to
be investigated.
"Thank you tonight. Can I borrow your phone for a while? I want to talk to Bell."
It was inappropriate for us to stay together in the middle of the night. I ran out in a hurry, not even wearing my shoes and taking
my phone. At this time, Bell Lin must have fallen asleep, I had to tell her.
He looked at me intensely and handed the phone over. I took it over and saw that he has dialed Bell's number.
"Hello, Brother Chan?" A puzzled voice came from the phone, and the background sound was a little noisy.
"Bell, it's me." I tangled up and said, suddenly regretting borrowing Chan's mobile phone.
Calling Bell with his mobile phone, Bell would definitely find it strange. I had to explain to her why I was with Chan.
"Ivy?" Bell Lin was taken aback when she heard my voice, and hurriedly said, "Come to the hospital quickly, your mom is in bad
condition."
