At night, I was watching a show with my mom when Cheng Jun called.

I felt a twinge in my heart. I didn't want to answer, but considering that we still had to clear up the house issue, I picked up the phone and went into the room.

"What do you want?"

On the other end of the phone, I could only hear faint breathing.

"Cheng Jun?"

No one answered. Just as I was about to hang up, a hoarse voice came from the other side.

"Qian Qian, the baby in Mom's womb is gone. Can you not divorce me?"

I was shocked. How could it be gone just like that?

I hadn't checked the home surveillance for a long time.

I didn't know what had happened.

"How could it..."

Before I finished my sentence, I realized that regardless of whether the baby in my mother-in-law's womb was still there or not, there was no way we could go back.

So, the reason didn't matter anymore.

"Cheng Jun, we are already divorced and can never go back."

I seemed to hear him sniffle.

But there wasn't a single ripple in my heart. So this is how it feels to let go of someone.

"Qian Qian, I don't want to divorce. I still love you."

I really couldn't stand listening to his nonsense any longer.

Love me? Or love my money?

Long ago, when he repeatedly left me and the baby in my belly, I already knew what he truly loved.

I didn't want to tangle with him anymore, so I said coldly, "We are already over. Please stay clear-headed, Cheng Jun. Don't call me anymore. You make me sick."

I immediately hung up the phone.

But thinking about the house, I still turned on the surveillance camera.

I only saw my father-in-law smoking by himself in the living room. The air was filled with smoke, indicating he had smoked a lot.

And my mother-in-law was weakly eating at the dining table.

There was no sign of Cheng Jun in the house at all.

Obviously, he wasn't home.

Just as I was about to turn off the camera, I suddenly heard a slapping sound on the table.

"Call Cheng Jun and tell him to come back. His brother is about to get married, and there are a lot of things to prepare at home. Tell him to bring Shen Qian Qian back; there's no trace of her now!"

My mother-in-law gritted her teeth and slammed the dining table.

"If it wasn't for that bitch Shen Qian Qian hiding at her parents' house and not taking care of me, how could my baby lose its heartbeat after three months? She killed my baby! When she comes back, I'll make her suffer!"

I stared in shock. What did I just hear?

She's old; the baby didn't develop well. How could she blame me?

I took a deep breath to calm my trembling body from anger.

I closed my eyes and silently recited to myself.

"Don't get angry. Once I get the house back the day after tomorrow, I'll have nothing more to do with the Cheng family!"

My father-in-law kept his head down, smoking and looking at his phone, ignoring my mother-in-law.

In the next moment, my mother-in-law picked up a plate of food from the table and smashed it on his head.

My father-in-law touched the greasy food residue on his hair, suddenly burst into rage, and gave my mother-in-law a harsh slap while cursing, "What's wrong with you! You couldn't even keep a baby. What's the use of you!"

My mother-in-law fell to the ground from the slap and was completely stunned for a moment.

It took her a few seconds to react, then she covered her face and wailed.

"You're all bullying me! I don't want to live anymore! I don't want to live!"

Seeing her throwing a tantrum, my father-in-law quickly walked to the door. Before leaving, he spat on the ground fiercely, "Useless!"

I silently turned off my phone.

People who are pitiful must have their detestable side.

She brought this upon herself.
