Seeing her son leaving, Mrs. Wei turned to Li Xing’er who was crying.
“You are on your own now, stop pestering Ziting.”
Having said these words, Mrs. Wei got into her car and left.
Seeing their car driving away, Li Xing’er stayed downstairs for a long time, before returning to the apartment.
After Wei Ziting left, he did not return to the apartment for three days and did not call her even once.
Li Xing’er found out that she was pregnant during one of those three days, but she did not go to Wei Ziting right away. Instead, she wanted Wei Ziting to return to her side without telling him of the baby in her belly.
Instead, she made a call to Li Xiangxiang, who was far away in the UK, and talked with her about her plan of getting Wei Ziting back.
Li Xiangxiang instantly objected.
“Aren’t you pregnant? Why are you doing such a dangerous thing?”
“I not only want him to come home, I also want him to marry me.” Li Xing’er said with teeth clenched.
She had nothing now but Wei Ziting.
They had thought that their marriage would go smoothly, but Mrs. Wei had found out that they were going to get the marriage certificate in secret and had said so many mean things about her to Wei Ziting.
The child in her belly was not enough to make her Mrs. Wei, so she had to make Wei Ziting defend her. Of course, she had to take the risk.
“Sister, it is too dangerous. What if he doesn’t go home and you and the child…” Li Xiangxiang disagreed.
“Don’t worry, I know what I am doing. I am just trying to scare him.” Li Xing’er made a call to Li Xiangxiang as she checked over her own preparations. “He will be off work in half an hour, just call him and do as I say.”
Li Xiangxiang could not persuade her, so she agreed to her request.
“Remember to call him in half an hour.” Li Xing’er stressed.
“Got it.” Li Xiangxiang answered.
Li Xing’er rang off, wrote a suicide note and placed it on the table, next to the album they used to look through together.
Then she made a call to Li Xiangxiang and reminded her to call Wei Ziting, before deleting their conversation.
Soon, her phone rang. It was Wei Ziting.
Instead of taking it, she walked into the bathroom and cut her wrist open, whilst sitting in the bathtub.
Wei Ziting made a few calls but no one answered. Then he called Li Xiangxiang.
“What did she tell you?”
Li Xiangxiang was so anxious that she cried as she said, “She asked me to take care of myself in the future and even gave me a large sum of money, saying that she has nothing left. I called her but no one answered. My sister… is she in trouble…?”
Hearing the last sentence, Wei Ziting turned the car around.
“I will go and take a look, I will call you later.”
“Please, Brother Ziting, I don’t know who else can help my sister apart from you…” Li Xiangxiang said in tears.
After Wei Ziting ended the call with Li Xiangxiang, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the apartment to see what was going on.
When he came to the apartment and knocked on the door, no one answered. He opened the door and went in. The apartment was neat and tidy, and there was a picture album and a letter on the table.
He glanced at the letter and rushed into the bathroom, only to find Li Xing’er sitting in the bathtub that was full of bloody water, looking pale and cold.
“Xing’er!”
Wei Ziting carried her out of the bathtub and called the ambulance, as he covered the wound on her hand.
