Chapter 2: "You called the police on me!?" (2)

Chapter 2: "You called the police on me!?" (2)

While Zhang Wei was checking her phone, Yu Lei walked to the kitchen with quiet steps.

She tried her best to keep a poker face, and right when she passed through the door, her steps can't help but stagger.

Her fingers grip tightened around a rectangle object in her right hand.

It was a mobile phone.

Surprisingly it wasn't her phone, rather it was her newly appointed maid, Hao Yue.

The latter usually leave the apartment around 8 ó clock in the evening, which is faster one hour earlier than her contracted scheduled time.

Since Yu Lei stays out of the house due to work for a longer duration, it means Zhang Wei will have to do the chores and housework.

As a virtuous and rich wife, how can she allow him to work?

So naturally, she had hired a maid, but never in her wildest life she thought her move will backfire like this.

Before Hao Yue, there was another maid.

The maid wasn't particularly attractive, but she knew to do her work well.

In these types of jobs, character matters more than appearance.

And even though Yue Lei was living in this luxury, she can't afford to pay for it. It was just a gift from the president of the group, due to her excellent performance.

So hiring a maid on the basis of her appearance was out of the question, all Yu Lei needed was an honest working woman.

However, the middle-aged woman that was earlier working here got some health issues and was forced to leave the work.

As the VP of a listed company, Yu Lei was making a little over one million HLD

HLD was the native currency used in the Hanland country.

[Note: 1 HLD = 1 RMB]

Hao Yue was one of the classmates of Yu Lei in high school, the former desperately needed work, unlike Yu Lei, who was without any formal degree and only completed her education till high school.

At first, Yu Lei was skeptical about appointing Hao Yue as a maid, during their time in high school, it wasn't any secret that Hao Yue envied Yu Lei.

Hao Yue was second in the class, while Yu Lei was the first.

The school flower ranking was similarly the same.

So appointing a woman like her was definitely suspicious, especially since Yu Lei did not want Hao Yue to seduce Zhang Wei.

This was one of her biggest concerns.

Hao Yue left studying because her father caught cancer, and soon died, while they were still in the last year of high school.

Somehow, Hao Yue was able to sustain themself with all the money left by her father and finish high school.

But before she can opt for university, her mother hooked up with a foreign man.

The man tricked her mother and took all of their money away.

Now it was up to Hao Yue to work and sustain their livelihood by herself.

Hao Yue's mother got a huge shock due to the betrayal, she had to be hospitalized, afterwards, if it wasn't already enough, her mother's lower body was paralyzed due to a strange neurological disease.

Listening to all of this, even Yu Lei had to admit she sympathized with Hao Yue.

Thus she allowed Hao Yue to work here, at a higher salary than the average pay for the maid.

But who would have thought, the woman she pitied once, will stab her own back?

Today, in the morning Hao Yue was behaving strangely, Yu Lei did not care about it and left for the office.

At the end of the day, when Hao Yue left the apartment, she somehow forget to take her phone with her.

Initially, Yu Lei wasn't interested in spying on someone else's phone, but a notification really took her by surprise.

It was from the hospital apparently, with a subject line of the pregnancy report.

Seeing that Yu Lei's feet were frozen, she had a gut feeling that it wasn't anything good.

Without caring about morals, she tried to unlock Hao Yue's phone.

The pin was easy to crack, it was the last four letters of her phone number.

The first thing Yu Lei did was to look at the report, which has positive results.

Her hands started to tremble because Hao Yue neither had a boyfriend nor she was married.

Yu Lei had a hunch about the baby's father, but it was a possibility she did not want to believe even in her dreams.

With fingers crossed, she opened the gallery application, but as if heaven itself want to see her break, the first pic was of Zhang Wei and her lying in the master bedroom.

Both did not have any clothes, and their lower body was covered by a thin layer of white blanket.

Things did not need to be said anymore...

The pic was taken a few weeks ago, and it wasn't the only picture on her phone.

There were many more...

Zhang Wei had never thought in his wildest dreams, that Hao Yue was taking their pic when he was asleep.

Never did he think that Yu Lei will get a hand on Hao Yue's phone.

It was all to blame for Hao Yue's stupidity...

But nothing of it matters to Yu Lei...

All she knew was, Zhang Wei was cheating behind her back...

She tried to turn a blind eye to actions so many times ...

She convinced herself, again and again, the marks on his shirt were nothing but from a woman from a club.

Zhang Wei might be feeling lonely at home, and wanted to have some fun, he might have visited a club and danced with a few women.

Even in the worst-case scenario, she convinced herself that he might have spent a night with another woman.

But that also was only her suspicion.

Due to work, she was never able to accompany Zhang Wei, sometimes she would be too tired that she sleeps right after going to the bed.

For all of this, she felt immensely guilty, so she does not want to put pressure on Zhang Wei.

She knew he won't cheat on her...

He loved her more than anything...

But the small castle she had built in her mind crumbled after seeing those obscene pictures in Hao Yue's phone...

Not only that, but Yu Lei also started to believe that the marks on Zhang Wei's clothes, weren't from just any random woman in the club...

He might have more relationships outside...

Her small delusional world crumbled and fell apart right in front of her...

Yu Lei was so much in shock, that she even called the helpline for help when she heard Zhang Wei screaming at the door.

"Ouch!"

Yu Lei suddenly groaned in pain and looked at her hand.

She was clutching the phone so hard, that it had nearly started cracking.

Putting it aside, she took deep breaths to calm herself down.

Afterward, she got in front of the refrigerator to get a water bottle.

Seeing her reflection on the refrigerator door, her eyes shook violently.

She placed her hands above it and traced her own reflection with her slender fingers.

Even with her current look, Yu Lei had an aura of confidence around her.

Yu Lei's hair was a lustrous black that fell in loose waves around her shoulders, framing her face in a way that highlighted her delicate features. Her eyes were a piercing blue that shone like sapphires, drawing in anyone who gazed upon her

Her skin was smooth and flawless, with a natural glow that radiated from within. Her features were striking, with high cheekbones, a slim nose, and full lips that were always slightly upturned in a smile.

She had a toned and athletic figure, with curves in all the right places that were accentuated by her form-fitting clothing.

This woman was a vision of beauty and power, a force to be reckoned with in any situation.

Even though Hao Yue was beautiful, she was nowhere close to her, in terms of appearance, it wasn't Yu Lei's arrogance but confidence.

Even with a casual black nightgown, her figure outshines all of her peers.

"What did I lack that Zhang Wei had to resort to that slut...?"

Yu Lei's mind was full of question marks, she gave whatever she had to him... So why did Zhang Wei still do this?

Whenever she asked for a baby, he denied her, but now her rival from the high school was bearing his child, as his legal wife, her heart ached every time she remembered the picture of Zhang Wei in Hao Yue's phone.

And now some foreign woman is carrying his genes...

Why?

The harder she tried to look, the tearier her eyes got.

Yu Lei haven't noticed, but she was taking out her frustration and anger, on herself and Hao Yue.

In this case, it was the complete fault of Zhang Wei for behaving like a scumbag.

But Yu Lei was still unable to blame him.

Her anger was being channeled onto everyone but Zhang Wei.

She was still doubting, that she lacked something in treating him...

This was not normal at all until the woman was the one who was dependent upon the husband, physically and mentally.

This was a sign of dependency-based behavior.

This behavior is often exhibited by the children towards their parents.

The children live their lives to earn the appreciation of their parent, and if somehow their parent end up hurting them at some point, the children will start crying and blaming, 'What did I do to deserve this?'

Yu Lei at this point was like a child, who was dependent on Zhang Wei.
