What Bai Tao didn't know was that when she was in a state of panic, Pei Fei had already reported her with a phone call.
Because she was not married yet, Pei Fei returned to her parents' villa. Her parents were traveling abroad, and she was alone at home. After Pei Fei had a short rest, she could not hold back her emotions and called her brother: "Brother! I'm back home!!!"
"Feifei?"
Pei Fei couldn't help herself when she heard her brother's familiar voice. She even choked up. In order to pursue her music career, Pei Fei has been abroad for many years. In addition, she has many small tours around the world, so she doesn't have much time to go home. Now that she is really back with her family, all the grievances and longings come out: "Brother, I miss you."
Just narrating longing is not the main topic. Pei Fei returned to China for more important things. She calmed down and decided to get straight to the point: "Brother, Bai Tao cheated on her!"
As expected, her brother was silent. Pei Fei was filled with resentment and indignation, but she still mustered up the courage to continue: "Brother, I know that telling you this will hurt you, but if I don't say it and let Bai Tao's crimes continue, it will be disrespectful to you!"
"In fact, from the beginning I couldn't understand why you suddenly married Bai Tao. Of course, if it was just a marriage, Bai Tao's family background is indeed impeccable. But brother, is this really the life you want?" Pei Fei said affectionately, "Answer me, are you happy?"
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then Pei Fei heard her brother's calm voice -
"My last name is Pei, not Fu."
"… "
Pei Fei decided to ignore her brother's answer and continued to build up her emotions, "Last time I went back to China, I saw that your relationship was quite cold. How come this time, I heard Zheng Qing say that she attended some alumni gathering, and during the dinner, you were so obedient to her that you even peeled shrimp for her yourself?!"
Pei Fei's voice was full of disbelief, and she couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question: "Brother, did she get any evidence against you? Did she take nude photos of you or something? How could you possibly peel shrimp for someone? Even I haven't enjoyed such treatment! This is not something you would do at all!"
"If Zheng Qing hadn't seen it with her own eyes and told me, I would never have believed it! When I was in Austria, there were so many messed up news about you and her in China, but I didn't take them seriously. How come..."
However, to Pei Fei's surprise, her brother calmly denied it: "No."
"What?"
"No handle."
Pei Fei was simply magical: "Do you really love her that much?"
As a result, Pei Shi did not refute his own question, but simply said: "I have my own sense of propriety in doing things."
How can this be considered proper? She even peeled shrimp for Bai Tao?! How can this be considered proper!
Pei Fei's hands were shaking with anger. She decided not to dwell on the issue of love or not, and to make the truth public first: "Brother, but I hope you can wake up. Bai Tao is not a serious woman. In college, there were so many men chasing after her. She had long been accustomed to the life of being chased like a butterfly. Remember her ex-boyfriend Zhong Xiao?"
"I met Zhong Xiao in Austria."
As expected, when Pei Fei mentioned this name, her brother finally seemed to be a little emotional: "Zhong Xiao? What is he doing in Austria?"
"He's starting a business, and he's doing it quite cleverly. Like you, he's also in the field of big data, working on some algorithm, and is looking for investment. I happen to have a friend in an investment bank who is evaluating his company. He told me that behind his company, Bai Tao found someone to hold shares on his behalf, and invested a lot of money in him."
Pei Fei continued, "Later, at the dinner, Zhong Xiao drank too much and let something slip. He said that he and Bai Tao had actually been in contact for all these years, and that Bai Tao had always loved him. He said that they broke up just out of anger, and he regretted it so much. He even cried at the end, and showed my investment friend a lot of loving photos of him and Bai Tao. He also admitted that he was the male mistress in the news about Bai Tao's cheating. Of course, he said very honestly that he and Bai Tao had never crossed the line of friendship after marriage, and that there was no mistress. But who would believe it? Do you? Anyway, I don't believe it, and this kind of gossip spreads the fastest. Now I think everyone in the European investment circle knows that your wife has cheated on you!"
“What algorithm did he make?”
"Brother!" Pei Fei stamped her feet. "It's already this time. Is it so difficult to accept reality?"
What made Pei Fei unhappy was that her brother's question sounded calm and composed, and it even seemed that he didn't care much about Bai Tao's cheating, and was only concerned about the details of the same business.
Did he love Bai Tao so much? Was he willing to turn a blind eye to her and numb himself
"Bai Tao cheated on her! She cheated on her! I hope you can respect yourself and divorce her quickly, otherwise this woman might use the money you earn to subsidize Zhong Xiao in the future."
"Zhong Xiao also said that you are older than him, have no fun, and are not romantic, so Bai Tao and you have a very hard time and are not happy at all! Listen, this must be what Bai Tao and Zhong Xiao said, so what does this woman say about you behind your back!"
Pei Fei became angrier and angrier as she spoke: "Anyway, I've come clean with Bai Tao. I hope she can at least be more restrained and not embarrass our family if a scandal is exposed."
As a result, Pei Shi, who had not reacted much before, finally became serious after hearing this. He raised his voice slightly and scolded Pei Fei: "Why did you say this to her?"
Pei Fei was stunned: "Then why don't you expose her and watch her acting? Besides, don't you mind this? Otherwise, why would you give her the English name Fiona? I told her! And didn't the revelation say that she was also planning to divorce? Divorce, brother, you should hire a lawyer quickly, otherwise..."
"No divorce."
In the end, Pei Shi only said these four words to Pei Fei, and then warned in a low voice: "Be polite to Bai Tao, she is your sister-in-law, don't come to her house to question her, her current physical condition..." Pei Shi paused, and lowered his voice as if he didn't want to elaborate, "Her condition is a little different now, don't provoke her."
"As for the rest, I'll take care of it."
Pei Shi didn't expect Pei Fei's reaction. After saying this, he hung up Pei Fei's phone.
Bai Tao's physical condition is a little different now, so she can't be stimulated yet...
Could it be...
Is she pregnant?!
Pei Fei knew that her brother liked children very much.
Originally, his sudden tolerance towards Bai Tao was inexplicable, but if Bai Tao was pregnant, then everything would make sense - it was because of the pregnancy that his brother could only reluctantly accept the green hat, and he endured it for the sake of the child, not wanting the child to face a broken family as soon as he was born...
this…
My brother is so miserable!
As for how Bai Tao got this child? That must have been Bai Tao's own plan. She was not her brother's type at all, so why would she ask if she could have a child? She must have drugged and raped her brother!!!
*****
Bai Tao rummaged around the house for the whole afternoon, but unfortunately found nothing.
Others catch their husbands cheating, but she catches herself cheating...
Pei Fei's confident look and the convincing tone in her revelations made her really start to doubt herself.
After waiting anxiously for a while, Pei Shi returned home from get off work.
Bai Tao was in great shock, but Pei Shi seemed calm and composed, and nothing seemed unusual.
Pei Fei said Pei Shi already knew about it, but...
After a tasteless meal, Bai Tao couldn't help but probe. She coughed and decided to ask indirectly, "Honey, I met Pei Fei today. She said that when you were a kid, you watched Shrek the Monsters and hated Princess Fiona the most. So why did you name me Fiona?"
After asking, Bai Tao carefully observed Pei Shi's expression, trying to find clues to this man's emotions.
"Really?" Pei Shi was very calm, without any special expression, and his emotions didn't seem to fluctuate at all. He didn't even stop using the knife in his hand, but continued to cut the steak gracefully. "I watched this cartoon nearly ten years ago, and I don't remember it anymore. Doesn't Fiona mean wisdom and kindness? It just popped up when I named you, and I didn't think of anything else."
Yeah…
Even if Pei Shi didn't know about it before, Bai Tao knew Pei Fei for a long time. When she returned to China, she not only scolded herself, but also told her brother about her cheating. However, Pei Shi is so calm now...
"Pei Fei told you..."
Before Bai Tao finished speaking, Pei Shi quickly interrupted her: "Bai Tao, it doesn't matter what others say. I know you don't have any. We are fine. Divorce is just a rumor. That's enough."
It would be fine if Pei Shi became suspicious, but when Pei Shi acted like this, Bai Tao's heart tightened.
This is not a normal reaction!
A normal person would be very nervous if he heard from his own sister that his wife was cheating on him, no matter whether it was true or not. Even if he believed his wife, he would still ask or test her. Pei Shi's excessive trust and unwillingness to talk more about this topic made Bai Tao feel very disappointed.
Did he really make an unforgivable mistake towards Pei Shi
And Pei Shi, poor Pei Shi, even though he was cuckolded, he still loved me so humbly and didn't even have the courage to accuse me and confront me. Was he so afraid that I would just give up and file for divorce
What a deep feeling this is!
At this moment, Bai Tao finally realized that she had traveled to the world five years later for a certain mission. She didn't know it before, but now she finally realized that her mission was -
Save this marriage!
Five years later, I was so used to Pei Shi’s doting that I no longer cherished it and was too arrogant to realize the preciousness of this love. However, five years ago, I could clearly see the deep tenderness, reflect on my mistakes, and change the fate of this marriage!
A man who loves her so deeply, even if he has to compromise for the sake of marriage, no matter how well he acts, it is impossible for him to remain calm inside. Sure enough, after dinner, Pei Shi not only did not ask to sleep together, he even took the initiative to tell Bai Tao that he would work overtime in the study tonight.
"I won't disturb your rest. You can go to sleep first."
Although Pei Shi's tone was quite normal, his expression was somewhat serious. Bai Tao returned to her room, but she was not sleepy at all. It was obvious that Pei Shi was pretending to be working overtime, and his real intention was to calm himself down.
Even though he was cuckolded and felt so humiliated, he was still unwilling to lose his temper with himself, so he kept his distance and calmed down temporarily.
So miserable!
Especially Pei Shi's reaction, which was so familiar. It seemed like this was not the first time that he had been cheated on by me
Although Pei Shi explained the reason for naming Fiona and there was indeed no abnormal behavior, Bai Tao still had some concerns in her mind.
Pei Shi is tolerant now, but this tolerance cannot last forever. It’s not that gentle people will not get angry, it’s just that their tolerance is stronger than others. However, once it accumulates to a certain point, gentle people will also explode, and the degree of that explosion is far stronger than that of ordinary people.
One night, Bai Tao was not sleepy at all and felt a little confused, so she decided to find some hypnosis books to read. She randomly selected a few e-books on the psychology of love and marriage. These books were not boring. The theoretical knowledge was always accompanied by a practical case, and these cases were very refreshing.
"She was greedy for the emotional value provided by the honest man, but she was playing with multiple women. The young beauty finally brought disaster upon herself, which triggered the revenge of the honest man's backup boyfriend. Why was sulfuric acid thrown on her?"
"She cheated on her husband and kept a lover outside. After her husband begged her many times in vain, she finally couldn't stand it anymore and strangled her to death before committing suicide. The family was destroyed just because of her infidelity."
…
After closing the computer, Bai Tao felt completely awake.
She finally felt that her time travel was of great significance, not only to save her marriage, but also to save her own life!
If I let myself continue like this, not only will my good life as a lady be ruined, but due to long-term repression and loss of self, Pei Shi might eventually have a mental breakdown and die together with me.
As Bai Tao thought about it, she felt a little cold on her neck.
This can't go on!
Absolutely not!
Bai Tao couldn't sleep that night. She thought about it and decided to change her ways. She first stabilized Pei Shi's emotions, slowly made him trust her again and feel love. Finally, she taught Pei Shi to have self-esteem in his relationship and transformed the sick marriage into a healthy and mutually respectful couple! Then they would put aside their past grudges and spend the future together!
