Huo Yunshen did not leave right away after dropping his wife off. He went to a hotel nearby to meet with his second sister instead.
He knocked on the door and waited for a while before Huo Erqi opened the door for him.
Out came a woman who was well-dressed and had makeup on. But Huo Erqi also had a pair of sunglasses on her face.
“Hey, are you okay?” Huo Yunshen asked.
“Yeah, come on in.”
Huo Erqi invited her little brother into her room, but she still did not take off her sunglasses.
The odor of cigarettes could be smelled inside the room. Huo Yunshen stared at Huo Erqi’s face and realized she had heavy makeup on.
“Aren’t you going to take off your sunglasses?”
“I didn’t have enough sleep last night. I don’t want to show my baggy eyes.”
As a distraction, Huo Erqi went and made two cups of coffee.
She placed one in front of Huo Yunshen and asked, “How’s everyone?”
“They’re fine,” Huo Yunshen said, feeling that something was wrong with his sister. “Where’s my brother-in-law? Is he not here?”
“He… he had something else to do.”
Huo Erqi trembled a little upon mentioning Boris, dropping her phone. When she bent down to get it, Huo Yunshen noticed that she had some bruises under the sunglasses.
The bruises were so evident that no amount of makeup could cover them.
Realizing that something must’ve gone down, Huo Yunshen snatched the sunglasses off Huo Erqi’s face. Under her left eye were bruises that covered all of it.
“What’s this?”
Huo Yunshen could not believe that someone had hurt his sister. He took her hand and rolled her sleeve up to check.
When he saw that even her hand was also covered in bruises, he got furious.
“Who did this! Was it Boris?”
Huo Erqi realized that she could not hide it from Huo Yunshen anymore and nodded. Then she started to cry.
“What happened?”
Huo Yunshen was confused. He knew Boris very well. Both Boris and Huo Erqi were a DINK family and were happy with each other.
Huo Yunshen could not believe that Boris would hurt his sister.
He waited until Huo Erqi stopped crying. Then Huo Erqi told Huo Yunshen the truth.
To summarize, Boris being a DINK was fake.
She had thought they were perfect until she found out he was cheating on her.
He had even married his mistress, and they had a three-year-old son now.
Boris had been using the money Huo Erqi gave him to support his other family.
Huo Erqi was a woman with a proud personality. She went to learn how to make jewelry and created her own line and company.
Everything was smooth for her. She was a strong woman in the industry.
She even thought that she was happy about having a perfect husband in Fstan.
She never thought that she would be cheated on.
Because Boris had told her that he did not want children, she had given up on getting pregnant.
In the end, the ten years of marriage were just a fluke.
When Huo Erqi found out about the truth, she went to argue with Boris. What she got in return was being beaten by him.
“He’s a big liar! He even took away all of my savings, my love, and 10 years’ worth of my life! I thought I was happy, but in the end, I turned out to be the stupidest person in the world…”
