It was pouring cats and dogs, and thunder rumbled. Xiaoming was completely soaked, standing like a drowned rat in the alley across from the hotel.
The road was filled with vehicles flashing their emergency lights, and pedestrians were running non-stop. This rainstorm was so sudden that no one expected it.
At Xiaoming's feet, the broccoli and tomatoes that Lin liked were scattered all over the place.
A car sped past him, splashing mud onto his body, face, and mouth.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. It seemed as if even God was mocking him and his disheveled state.
He couldn't understand why Lin would betray him. Otherwise, how could she deceive him?!
Xiaoming closed his eyes, and humiliated tears flowed out, mingling with the rain and disappearing.
Lin was a sales consultant at a 4S store. As her customer, Xiaoming would go to the store whenever he had time. He bought an Audi A6 from her. They exchanged phone numbers and gradually developed from a customer relationship into lovers.
Now Lin has become the manager of the 4S store. She wears a black OL uniform to work every day, showing off her curvaceous figure. With a purple silk scarf around her neck, she is elegant and charming. She comes into contact with countless wealthy men every day.
However, Xiaoming's career has suffered a setback. For the time being, he makes a living by delivering express packages, braving the elements every day.
The huge contrast made Xiaoming very afraid of losing his wife. He would often sneak to the 4S store to see if his wife was there.
Today is the fifth anniversary of his marriage to Lin. Xiaoming took a half-day off, bought the broccoli and tomatoes that she loved the most, and planned to pick Lin up and go home to celebrate. There would surely be some tender moments at night. However, there was no sign of his wife at the 4S store. When he asked her colleagues, they said she hadn't come to work at all today.
Xiaoming thought Lin might be sick or had something else going on, so he rushed home.
Unexpectedly, when passing by the Century Grand Hotel, Xiaoming actually saw Lin holding the waist of an old man and entering the hotel, and that old man was even shamelessly touching her...
Xiaoming used to be in the building materials business. At that time, the construction market was booming, and he made a fortune every day. At that time, Lin's younger brother, Lin Qiang, and a few friends contracted the Shahe River in the countryside. With Xiaoming's care, they also made a lot of money.
But due to policy reasons, private housing construction in rural areas was no longer allowed, and there was no way to get government projects. A large amount of building materials he had in stock turned into junk, and millions of funds were wasted.
He used to be a successful person, but now he is a complete failure. Because of this, he had several arguments with Lin, and his mother-in-law criticized him harshly.
Thinking that delivering express packages could be a transition. Because Xiaoming was diligent and smart, he delivered more packages than others every day and could earn over ten thousand yuan a month. Only then did his wife and mother-in-law's attitudes improve a lot.
Taking advantage of the fifth anniversary of their marriage, he originally wanted to enhance the relationship between husband and wife, but now he has been dealt a heavy blow.
How could his wife betray him? And with such an old man? If not, why would his wife enter the hotel with him? Even if it was for business, there was no need to open a room in the hotel!
But Xiaoming was sure that he wasn't mistaken. That figure was his wife. They had been married for many years, and he was too familiar with her.
Xiaoming clearly remembered that their first Valentine's Day was in this Century Grand Hotel. The hotel room had a soft double bed and a pink night light. When his wife came out of the bathroom in a see-through nightgown, surrounded by steam, she looked like a lotus emerging from water. This was why Xiaoming doted on her so much. No matter what requests his wife made, he would do his best to fulfill them.
But thinking of his wife with another man, Xiaoming's heart was filled with mixed emotions. He struggled to look at every lit room, perhaps his wife and that old man were inside!
Xiaoming forced himself not to think in that direction. Looking at the hotel entrance, his mind was filled with countless thoughts.
He was born in the countryside. When he first met Lin's mother, she strongly opposed the marriage. If it weren't for Xiaoming showing the car keys and the property ownership certificate, this marriage would definitely have fallen through.
So Xiaoming cherished this marriage very much. He treated Lin's family better than his own. Even when her younger brother got married, he gave a hundred thousand yuan.
At that time, Lin Qiang would greet him whenever they met, calling him "brother-in-law" one after another. But now that Xiaoming was down and out, Lin Qiang didn't even give him a second look.
This kind of disregard made Xiaoming feel cold inside. He often asked himself if he regretted it, if it was his own fault. But thinking of the moments with his wife and their lovely daughter, he felt that he didn't regret it.
Xiaoming prayed in his heart, hoping that he had seen wrongly, that it wasn't Lin just now. Maybe it was just someone with a similar figure.
I don't know how long it passed. The glass revolving door of the hotel opened.
A woman in a purple pencil skirt was being supported by an oily-faced old man as they came out. The woman had big wavy hair, looking passionate and unrestrained. She wore black high-top Martin boots...
Xiaoming held his breath. He had seen Lin wear this outfit before. And that exquisite face, if it wasn't Lin, then who could it be???!!!
The old man was touching Lin's waist unscrupulously. Lin pushed him away coquettishly, looking as if playing hard to get.
Xiaoming only felt his vision go dark, and he almost collapsed on the ground. He shook his head in pain, unable to believe the scene before him.
Once upon a time, Xiaoming was proud to have married such a beautiful woman. Their wedding photo was placed in the most prominent position in the living room. He never thought that Lin would betray him.
Xiaoming's body trembled. It felt like a burning fire was surging inside him, rushing straight to his head. He rushed to the back kitchen of a nearby restaurant and grabbed a kitchen knife...
