That night, after Su Tingbai and Feng Cheng finished the video call, they couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and all that echoed in their minds was the words that Wenli said to her.

Wen Li met her current ex-husband Lin Wei during her senior year as an intern. Lin Wei is a year younger than her, he is an art student with a quiet personality, working part-time as an artist in a magazine, and most of the time he is alone to find a corner to draw materials or read books, so quiet that he blends in with the background wall.

At that time, people's ideas were not as open and tolerant as they are now, and several other junior male students who interned here with Wen Li saw that Lin Wei was obviously a thin and introverted "little sissy", but he was inexplicably very popular with girls, because of jealousy and dissatisfaction, they all laughed at him as a "four-eyed boy" and "little white face", and they got together every day to criticize his behavior and how unscrupulous he was.

Wen Li's personality at that time was particularly hot, and she couldn't bully more than she could, and she felt pity for a "vulnerable group" like Lin Wei. Once when I saw that they were bullying Lin Wei so hatefully, I suddenly wanted to protect him for some reason, and relied on my identity as a senior sister to "repair" those juniors who loved to bully Lin Wei the most, and declared to the public that she wanted to pursue Lin Wei......

After that, the two experienced a lot of things together, and after really getting to know Lin Wei as a person, Wenli found that she really liked him.

He was quiet and reserved, not as crazy and playful as other boys of his age. His expression of liking is not enthusiastic, on the contrary, he is a little clumsy and stubborn, but Wenli is deeply trapped in it.

Although he doesn't ride a bicycle for hours just to bring her a rose, he doesn't knock on the window of her house with a stone in the middle of the night to ask her out for a walk, and he doesn't know how to please her and make her smile. But he would spend an entire afternoon tracing her outlines on paper, would rather shiver with the cold than insist on draping his coat over her, and would read poems in fluent English that she had never heard before.

The first love in their twenties is precious, and the two fall in love, and then naturally get married and have children......

But love also has a shelf life.

Wenli's career path can be said to be smooth, but in her early thirties, she has become one of the top magazine editors in China, but at the same time, she spends more and more time at work, and less and less attention is paid to her family.

But Lin Wei is not so wishy-washy, he has been insisting on his painting dream all these years, he wants to get ahead, he wants to raise his eyebrows, but reality has ruthlessly defeated him again and again. And whenever this happens, Wen Li will stand up in front of him like when he was bullied in the past, and use her own money for him to go abroad to study art and participate in exhibitions of various painting masters......

However, it was precisely because of Wenli's "protection" of Lin Wei that some gossip began to spread unconsciously in the circle that knew the two of them.

These words fell into Lin Wei's ears, making his already sensitive and withdrawn personality more and more distorted, and even began to overinterpret Wen Li's behavior, thinking that she was actually a control freak and that he was her pet in a cage.

He stubbornly wanted to escape from this "cage", but Wenli didn't understand why he did this, and how could he agree, but every time because of work, the two never had a heart-to-heart conversation, which led to an extremely rigid relationship between the two.

Wenli has been on a business trip abroad some time ago, she didn't sleep well for a few nights, and she had to rush to the company for a meeting after returning to China, but she suddenly learned the news of her son's illness, and she didn't ease her breath all of a sudden, and her head fell on the way to pick up the car.

When she woke up again, she was lying naked on the hotel bed, next to her new assistant who was curled up in the quilt like a quail, and Lin Wei's angry questioning and ridicule were in her ears.

Looking at Lin Wei's constantly dodging eyes when he looked at her, his deliberately bluffing tone and his hands that were constantly trembling because of nervousness, he was as shrewd as Wen Li, and naturally understood everything.

After more than ten years of protection, what he got in exchange for was a well-planned scam.

It's ironic.

Wenli didn't want to fight with him, and she didn't want to fight with him, so she decisively signed her name on the divorce agreement, moved her luggage, and lived in the small apartment she bought before marriage.

But not much, these things were all exposed on the Internet the next day. The vice president of "I'M" personally called her, and although her attitude was very gentle, she hinted several times that her company's reputation was the most important thing, and that she could not affect the company personally, so that Wenli, who had worked hard for the magazine for more than ten years, suffered a heavy blow again.

Because she didn't want to hear the gossip behind her back, let alone face false care and admonition, Wen Li, who was physically and mentally exhausted, chose to resign.

*

These pictures kept flashing in Su Tingbai's mind, and Wen Li's whispered confiding on the other end of the phone seemed to be clearly audible.

She rolled over, looked at the full moon in the night sky through the half-closed curtains, and sighed softly with her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

She never imagined that the truth of the matter turned out to be so chilling, and people's hearts could be so selfish.

For his wife who has been with him for more than ten years, he was suspicious just because of a few gossips from outsiders, and even designed such a scam to destroy her reputation despite the friendship of sharing the bed for so many years.

Su Tingbai felt a chill just thinking about it.

With such a big blow to her family and career at the same time, Wenli's current mental state can be imagined how bad it is, and if she changes her ability to bear it, she will have to collapse.

Thinking like this, Su Tingbai fell asleep unconsciously.

However, the next morning*
