Chapter 21: Exposed

They continued to talk, but they didn’t continue the topic of the parent-teacher meeting.

Feeling suspicious, I excused myself and left the house by saying that there was no more vinegar at home.

After I went downstairs, I took out my phone and dialed the number of my son’s teacher.

Before long, the call was connected and the teacher’s polite voice came from the other end. “Hi, Mr. Zhang, what’s the matter?”

I made some small talk before apologizing, “I’m really sorry. I had an emergency and I couldn’t go to the parent-teacher meeting today.”

The teacher smiled and said, “It’s okay. Anyway, Qiqi’s mother was here.”

I was stunned!

My wife had attended!

Then, the teacher said something that made me freeze. “And that uncle, he seems nice. He’s also very concerned about the child…”

I didn’t listen to her at all after that!

My wife went to the parent-teacher meeting and she brought a man with her?!

Without a doubt, it was that bald man!

My mind was buzzing!

He was my son!

The father wasn’t the one attending the parent-teacher meeting. Instead, my wife and that bald vice president attended!

My son was my only oasis in this family!

The bald scum had taken my wife, and even her parents approved of him. And now, he wanted to steal my son?!

The last time, he met my parents-in-law and family behind my back. This time, he went to the parent-teacher meeting. In the future, would she simply tell Qiqi to call him Daddy?!

I hung up the call and got into the car. With reddened eyes, I drove out of the district!

I… wanted to kill him!

I wanted…

But as soon as I hit the main road outside, the wind rushing in through the window knocked me out of my trance.

No, I can’t be so impulsive. In the end, I would still have to sacrifice myself and it simply wasn’t worth it!

When I get my hands on the evidence, that would be the end of everything!

I went for a long ride before I could control my emotions. When I returned home, it was more than an hour later.

My wife had returned home, and she kept complaining about how hard it had been for her the entire day. She grumbled about how she couldn’t even have a hot meal when she came back.

All these years, regardless of whether I was rich or not, or if I was busy or not, as long as I was at home, I would definitely cook for my family.

My wife didn’t like to do household chores, so I did.

There was no other reason other than that I loved her.

However, this sacrifice had always been one-sided. She enjoyed my sacrifice and had never shown any gratitude.

She had taken me for granted. It was as if everything was where it was supposed to be.

Later on, when I became busy, I couldn’t take care of everything at home. So she asked my parents-in-law to help.

However, those two would only cook occasionally or do some household chores. Sometimes, they would pick up my son from school.

Most of the time, I cooked and would still be the one who would do the household chores!

No matter how late I returned at night, I would always see a mess in the living room. I had to clean up everything.

They never helped me at all. I had practically two more giant babies who needed to be taken care of!

But I had no complaints all this time.

It wasn’t that I had no complaints, but I was willing to give my all for my wife and child!

It was often said that a man had to dote on his wife, but how many people could do what I’ve done?

And what did I get in return?

Our relationship hadn’t deepened, instead, I was cuckolded!

However, this wouldn’t last for long.

The next morning, before I could get out of bed, I heard a scream from the bedroom next door. “Zhang Teng! Are you dead?! Something happened to your wife over here! Come here, now!”

Shocked, I jumped out of bed and ran to the bedroom next door.

The sky had yet to brighten, and the lights in the bedroom were switched on. I saw my mother-in-law sitting on the bed, while my wife was still lying on the bed.

But her face was a little pale, and her expression didn’t seem right. Her eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and she looked a little uncomfortable.

Why did I feel inexplicably happy seeing her like this? An evil thought flashed across my mind. Did she have some terminal illness that would result in her death today?

However, that was obviously unlikely. I played along and drove my wife to the hospital.

On the way, my mother-in-law kept berating me, saying that I didn’t even know that my wife was feeling uncomfortable and that I wasn’t fit to be her husband. She also wondered if I was attracted to a vixen in the company.

I didn’t say a word and concealed my anger as I made my way to the hospital. The clinic at the hospital wasn’t open yet, so I had no choice but to bring her to the emergency department.

After the doctor in the emergency room gave my wife a detailed checkup, he gave me a list. “Take this to the counter and fill in the forms for the hospitalization procedures.”

“Doctor, what exactly is wrong with her?” I asked casually.

The doctor said, “She’s just suffering from an early pregnancy reaction. She’ll be fine after receiving some nutritional fluid.”

The three people present were stunned when they heard that.

My wife had yet to tell me about her pregnancy.

The last time she went to the hospital for a checkup, she came with the bald man behind my back.

However, the doctor was clueless, so he blurted it out casually.

After a long while, I said, “All right, I’ll go and settle the paperwork.”

My wife’s early pregnancy symptoms were indeed serious.

Back when she was pregnant with Qiqi, she had been hospitalized and had to recuperate for some time.

With mixed feelings, I went to the counter to settle the paperwork.

She wasn’t sick. In the past, I would have jumped up in joy.

But now, she had become like this because of the child she was carrying. How could I be happy?!

Ten minutes later, I completed the paperwork and returned to my wife, who was sitting in the waiting area.

Beside her, my mother-in-law’s expression was also a little odd.

“Honey, you’re pregnant? Why didn’t you tell me?” I tried my best to look surprised..
