Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Discovery of Infidelity
"Yaoyao, Wenkai has deceived me. He has been seeing Lin Man behind my back, and they even planned to have a child without me knowing. He betrayed our love of so many years, I hate him so much."
On the other end of the phone, Wang Chun’s weeping voice was hoarse. Apart from calling Tong Yao, she didn’t know who else to call at this time.
Her parents are far away in China, and Wang Chun didn’t want to worry them, so she didn’t call them. But she needed someone to express her repressed feelings to.
She couldn’t figure it out. Zhao Wenkai seemed to treat her as well as before. Why would he secretly do these things and caught her completely off guard?
She knew Lin Man, and it was heart wrenching to think that Zhao Wenkai had even dined with her and Lin Man together.
Tong Yao consoled in a undertone, "Achun, you haven’t fully recovered yet. You can’t be so emotional, it’s not good for your health."
Wang Chun shouldn’t be stressing out now. Her health should come first.
"I can’t control my emotions, I really can’t accept Wenkai’s affair, Yaoyao, I’m in so much pain, my heart hurts."
Wang Chun sobbed in an anguished manner. She just couldn’t understand. Zhao Wenkai treated her so well, why on earth would he secretly do such a disgusting thing behind her back? Every time she thought about Zhao Wenkai leaving Lin Man’s bed and then coming back to sleep with her, she felt nauseated.
Who would have thought that a man who discusses everything, accounts for every action, and always comes home no matter how late he works, would cheat on his wife?
Tong Yao gently comforted, "I know you are in a lot of pain, but Achun, you need to adjust your mentality. You can’t be too upset. Your body can’t handle it. Remember, no matter how much you love others, you should always put yourself first. In this world, you can love anyone else, but you must always love yourself most."
Tong Yao’s soothing words made Wang Chun feel a lot better, and her emotions stabilized somewhat. "Yaoyao, I want to divorce Akai. I can never forgive him, and will never forgive him in this lifetime."
Tong Yao pressed her lips together, "No matter what decision you make, I will support you. But you must take good care of your body."
"Hmm." Wang Chun gently nodded on the other end of the phone.
Only when she heard Wang Chun’s mood improved a bit did Tong Yao ask the question that had been bothering her. "How did you find out about Akai’s affair?"
Zhao Wenkai had kept this affair very secret. Lin Man was already married to Shi Yan, and even if she wanted to deliberately sabotage Wang Chun’s marriage, she wouldn’t have the opportunity to contact Wang Chun.
This situation was kind of strange.
Wang Chun’s heart ached, biting her lip she said, "Someone sent me an anonymous letter, with photos showing Akai and Lin Man entering an inn."
If she hadn’t seen the pictures with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed that Zhao Wenkai would betray her. This man treated her so well, taking care of her meticulously.
He was always fearful of making her unhappy. Whenever he had time, he would stay with her overseas. Everyone admired her. Wang Chun truly could not believe that Zhao Wenkai would do this.
"An anonymous letter?" Tong Yao was even more puzzled. "Is Zhao Wenkai not overseas?"
According to Zhao Wenkai’s character, he would not let anything outside of his control directly reach Wang Chun.
"Akai returned to China a week ago, he said that he has some business to take care of," Wang Chun sobbed.
That explained it. Tong Yao asked in a soft voice, "Have you confronted Zhao Wenkai over the phone?"
Mentioning this made Wang Chun even more upset, "I did. He agreed to the divorce and has already arranged for the lawyer to come."
Tong Yao was still confused, but she didn’t continue to ask. "Achun, if you can’t accept his affair, divorce might be a good idea. But you mustn’t torture yourself over it."
Wang Chun, crying, nodded her head. The call ended when a healthcare worker came over.
"Who was that on the phone? All this talk about divorce and infidelity. There aren’t many good men indeed." After Tong Yao hung up the phone, Guo Jinnian made a suggestive remark, and sneakily glanced at Gu Hongwei.
Gu Hongwei pretended not to notice.
Tong Yao said, "A friend I’ve known before, her husband is in real estate, and he hooked up with my cousin. Actually, I’ve known this from a long time ago..."
Guo Jinnian interrupted, "I get it, you kept it a secret for your cousin, after all, blood is thicker than water, I understand."
Tong Yao shook her head, "No, my cousin and I have always been at odds. The reason I didn’t tell Achun was that her heart condition isn’t good, and she can’t handle any stress. Right now, she’s overseas for treatment."
"Sorry, I was wrong to think of you as selfish," Guo Jinnian readily admitted his mistake.
"It’s okay." Tong Yao didn’t mind that, she was a little puzzled, "I find this whole thing strange. Zhao Wenkai and Lin Man, that’s been over for a long time. Why would someone suddenly send an anonymous letter to Achun? And Zhao Wenkai agreeing to the divorce seems a bit too easy."
Guo Jinnian analyzed, "You said Achun has a heart condition. Then they probably don’t have any children, right? Such wealthy people would never accept not having any heirs in their lifetime. Even if he was willing to, his parents wouldn’t agree. The likelihood of divorce is high. Love has an expiration date. Once the honeymoon phase is over, Zhao Wenkai would definitely want to have children."
Is that so?
Tong Yao was not certain as people change, and it’s hard to guess their minds.
With Guo Jinnian’s distraction, Tong Yao forgot about the anonymous letter.

On the other end, Lin Man, one of the parties involved, was resting her head on Shi Yan’s shoulder. The train was dirty and crowded, and there was an offensive odor everywhere that made her nauseous. She was irritated by everyone around her.
First, she was upset with Shi Yan for not managing to book a sleeping berth, as the sanitary conditions there would certainly be better and not so crowded.
Shi Yan soothed her for a while, then lost his patience and no longer responded to her. Only then did Lin Man stop complaining.
Of course, her anger was not just because of this, but also because she hadn’t found Tong Yao. The man with the scarred face had searched the entire train and didn’t find any trace of her.
Shi Yan refused to believe that a person could just disappear into thin air, so he went to look for her again. But he indeed didn’t find her. They even suspected that Tong Yao didn’t board the train.
But they found it strange, as before boarding the train, they clearly saw Tong Yao preparing to get on the train.
But if she really got on the train, how did she simply vanish?
The answer remained a mystery.
They could only wait until they arrived in E Country.
The round trip from Kyoto to E Country is half a month, and a one-way trip takes a week. At first, being on the train wasn’t too bad, but after over a dozen hours, Lin Man could no longer endure it. Her legs and feet were sore, the smells around her were even more unbearable. The smell of feet, sweat, body odor, and a mix of strange scents were making her nauseous.
As Lin Man looked at Shi Yan next to her, she saw him eating a steamed bun as if nothing was wrong. She glanced at him in disgust and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Shi Yan asked.
"What else can I do on this train except use the restroom?" Lin Man already regretted coming along.
