Chapter 248 Apocalypse 13
Chapter 248 Apocalypse 13
The divorce isn't urgent; the most important thing right now is to get out of here.
Huang Lili is very rational. Her occasional outbursts of temper are always in line with her expectations, so she always knows what she wants.
"Zhang Wei, stop being unreasonable, okay?"
“We haven’t had children for the past few years, isn’t it because we don’t have any savings? We’re adults, we can manage, right? But if we have a child, I can’t go out to work, and what about the child? When they’re little, they need food, water, and shelter; when they’re older, they need to go to school and socialize. All of these things cost money.” Huang Lili lowered her head and buried herself in the other person’s chest, seemingly very aggrieved. Her sobbing voice sounded like the murmurs of lovers.
Zhang Wei whispered something and pulled the person into his arms.
"Honey, it's okay if we don't have kids. It's fine with just the two of us; having another person would be superfluous."
Taking advantage of the fact that the other person couldn't see, Huang Lili stared wide-eyed in shock. No wonder his brows always betrayed his annoyance when she mentioned children. It wasn't that he was blaming her for not wanting children; it was that he simply didn't want children!
Huang Lili's chest heaved; her anger had reached its peak. She tried to calm herself down for a while before she managed to refrain from exploding on the spot.
Fine, fine, such a rotten person doesn't deserve to have his own child.
You destroyed the home I'd always dreamed of, and I'll destroy you in return.
Huang Lili was no longer in a hurry to leave. She believed there was plenty of time, and that with her intelligence, she could easily outsmart this person.
In the days that followed, Huang Lili began a life of humiliation and misery.
Candles, a small leather whip—she was beaten black and blue every day, and she even began to fear the sound of those footsteps. The slightest sound would make her breath quicken, her whole body go numb, and she wished she were dead. But her stubborn will kept telling her to endure, to take revenge, to find a chance to tear this person to pieces. Most importantly, to die for this person; she was never truly reconciled.
Zhang Wei's originally gentle face became wicked and arrogant due to the excitement in his eyes.
That murderous look in her eyes always made Huang Lili feel flustered and terrified, making her wonder if she could make it to the next day.
Fortunately, although Zhang Wei was terrifying, he didn't actually eat people. His methods of tormenting her were also well-balanced; as long as she had injuries, he wouldn't go too far.
Zhang Wei played with Huang Lili for a while with his new toy before finally lying down on the bed, satisfied, with her in his arms.
Huang Lili's face was flushed, as beautiful and alluring as a rose that had been moistened. She felt almost completely drained of strength, her limbs limp and powerless. She clung to Zhang Wei's chest, her voice soft and sweet, as if she were pleading.
"Honey, let's move upstairs. It's dark and damp here, and I feel very uncomfortable."
Zhang Wei opened his eyes and scrutinized her. Huang Lili's expression was frank, as if she really couldn't stand the darkness of the basement and wanted to change places, rather than actually wanting to leave him.
Because of her family background, Huang Lili has always been a skilled actress. Moreover, this time she genuinely didn't intend to leave; she merely wanted to use the opportunity to kill those around her.
Naturally, Zhang Wei did not find anything amiss.
"Okay, I love you so much. Of course I'll grant you such a small request." Zhang Wei smiled indulgently and affectionately tapped Huang Lili's nose, seemingly truly adoring her.
He readily agreed without arguing. So, it seems he really was in the basement.
That took a lot of effort!
Huang Lili gritted her teeth inwardly, but showed no sign of it on her face. She even became more docile, nestled in Zhang Wei's arms like a cute little kitten.
To anyone, they looked like a loving young couple.
As she drifted off to sleep, Huang Lili felt a sudden weightlessness. She instinctively reached for the neck of the person in front of her, and through her hazy state, she opened her heavy eyelids.
A casual glance at the white shelves reveals a dazzling array of trinkets. Some are familiar, already used. Others are unfamiliar, and you can tell without even thinking that they're anything but frivolous.
Huang Lili was immediately startled awake from her nap.
"Hehe," Zhang Wei chuckled softly, unable to suppress his pleasure as he looked at Huang Lili's wide-eyed stare. His chest vibrated, sending shivers down Huang Lili's spine.
Laugh? What's so funny?
If she weren't physically weaker, Huang Lili would have jumped up right then and there and scratched Zhang Wei's face raw.
Looking at that still gentle and refined face, Huang Lili only hated the injustice of heaven, which gave the bad guy such power. He could do things that were outrageous and resented by both heaven and man, yet he could still act all kind and gentle, luring the victims into his trap.
As dawn broke, the summer morning was scorching. Having just stepped out of the damp, cool basement, the intense heat immediately enveloped my entire body.
Huang Lili was immediately covered in sweat. She shifted uncomfortably, saying, "It's so hot, carry me back to the room." She spoke in a spoiled and self-righteous tone.
Zhang Wei's back was already soaked with sweat. He clenched his wet palms, carried the person around the yard, and strode into the house.
The cool air stopped my sweating immediately.
Zhang Wei changed into his work clothes, greeted Huang Lili, and went to the company without hesitation.
Huang Lili wasn't surprised at all by Zhang Wei's trust; she had clearly seen the little red dot on the tree earlier. There were probably cameras installed inside and outside the yard, and they'd even changed the locks now. It would be strange if Zhang Wei wasn't at ease.
However, it's still possible to contact people outside through the courtyard wall, it just depends on whether the other party will think you're crazy.
In modern society, human relationships are cold and indifferent. People even have to consider whether they have the means to help an elderly person on the street.
Everyone tends to mind their own business and has become accustomed to being on guard.
It seems that no one would want to pay attention to me.
Zhang Wei must have been aware of this, which is why he wasn't on guard at all. They had already experienced firsthand the thankless task of putting in so much effort, and it had left a deep impression on them.
Huang Lili opened the curtains, her gaze greedily taking in every blade of grass and every tree in the yard. The wind rustled the leaves, sunlight shone on them, and even the intense air smelled of freedom.
Living in the sunlight is so wonderful, which makes that person seem even more hateful.
Huang Lili's eyelids drooped, as if she couldn't stand the sunlight. She stretched out her arm to shield her eyes, then took her hand away, staring at the window with almost lingering affection.
Looking at his sparkling lover on the screen, Zhang Wei unconsciously smiled, put his phone aside, and began his busy day.
Huang Lili herself is also someone who can't stay idle.
After lying down for a while, she recovered and started washing vegetables, cooking, and cleaning. Fortunately, the refrigerator was well-stocked, so she didn't have to go out to buy anything.
Zhang Wei returned home early for dinner. Watching the busy figures in the kitchen, his head was throbbing with excitement; he couldn't wait a moment longer to take them right there and then.
When a pair of large hands grabbed her wrist, Huang Lili instinctively trembled.
Then the hand almost dragged the person into the basement.
Huang Lili had only glanced at it briefly in the morning, but now she could see those strangely shaped things much more clearly. As if there wasn't time to turn back and grab them, Zhang Wei swept his arms around, and a pile of things appeared in his arms.
Huang Lili almost stopped breathing.
People will die. People really will die.
Huang Lili was so panicked she almost wanted to curse, but she dared not and couldn't. She had finally seen a glimmer of hope; how could she die, especially in such a wretched way?
