The next morning, I was staring blankly at the drip of medication.

The mobile phone rang with an alarm.

I picked it up and saw that the home surveillance camera had detected unfamiliar faces and sent an alert to my phone.

I opened it, and the situation in the living room at home was clear.

A middle-aged couple and a young girl I didn't recognize were sitting on the sofa.

It was then that I remembered that Cheng Jun had mentioned that Cheng Xiao's girlfriend's parents were coming to discuss marriage.

The parents-in-law and Cheng Jun and Cheng Xiao were sitting together.

The mother-in-law was directing Cheng Jun to pour tea and water, and cut fruits.

Cheng Jun had a smile on his face, busy and seemingly unaware that he had just lost a child.

A trace of disgust spread through my heart, and I felt sick just looking at him.

The parents-in-law were chatting happily, and suddenly the mother-in-law got up and led the three of them to visit each room.

"After Cheng Xiao and Tong Tong get married, they will live in this master bedroom."

The mother-in-law had a smile on her face, pointing to me and Cheng Jun's bedroom.

Tong Tong's parents nodded in approval, expressing their satisfaction.

"In the future, his father and I will live on the elder son's side. If they need me, I'll come over and help, if they don't, I won't come and be a bother."

The mother-in-law warmly invited Tong Tong's family to sit back down.

It was then that I noticed that the wedding photos of Cheng Jun and me were missing from behind the sofa.

I had heard Cheng Jun say before that his parents had rented a two-bedroom apartment for Cheng Xiao to use before marriage.

This four-bedroom apartment was purchased with half of the down payment from Cheng Jun and me before marriage. I had been repaying the loan, and the property certificate also listed Cheng Jun and my names.

Is she taking advantage of someone else's nest?

I sneered and continued to watch what other tricks she would play.

After seeing Tong Tong's family off, Cheng Xiao also followed them.

Finally, the mother-in-law remembered me and asked Cheng Jun.

"Shen Qianqian is supposed to have a month of confinement after giving birth. While she's at her parents' house, let Cheng Xiao use this house to marry Tong Tong."

The camera was too blurry to see Cheng Jun's expression clearly.

I only heard him say, "Mom, this doesn't seem right. If Qianqian finds out, she will definitely get angry."

The mother-in-law threw the TV remote control on the coffee table with a "snap".

"What's wrong with that? It's not like you're really giving him this house, Qianqian can't eat you, can she!"

Cheng Jun immediately backed down when he saw that she was angry.

"Okay then, once Qianqian comes back, everything must go back to normal."

"Don't worry, Cheng Xiao doesn't know that I'm pregnant yet. Don't let it slip to him until after the wedding. So that Tong Tong won't turn out like Shen Qianqian."

I silently watched the mother-in-law's unattractive face as she ate, paying no attention to the trembling fingers holding the phone.

She was shamelessly deceiving him!

And using my house to deceive him!
