He had always known he had an older sister.
But at that time, there was a one–child policy, and government employees could only have one child.
His parents, for the sake of having a son to carry on the family name, smothered their newborn daughter to death and faked it as an
accident.
I only found out about this by chance after we were married.
Zack kept backing away. “You’re talking nonsense. What proof do you have?”
I shook my head with a smile.
Did I need to go to the trouble of finding evidence?
I just needed to leak a hint about this incident to Zack’s parents‘ political enemies, and they would naturally go digging for evidence.
Zack didn’t dare pester me anymore and fled in panic.
Half a month later, I heard the news that Zack’s parents had been arrested.
My parents cursed that couple at home.
“So that’s how that child died. My God, she was such a cute baby, chubby and fair–skinned.”
“Yeah, they brought the baby back to the village for New Year’s, then came back saying the child was naughty while sleeping and accidentally suffocated under the blanket.”
I got early admission to the top university as I had wished.
The day I started college, I heard news of Zack’s suicide attempt by jumping into the sea.
But he didn’t die. He was rescued.

After that, there was no more news of him.
Years later, when I heard about Zack again, it was news of his wedding to Lily.
The high school alumni group chat suddenly became lively.
Someone even shared a video of their wedding ceremony.
In the video, two people who had been through a lot walked up to the wedding altar with wooden expressions.
When it came time to exchange rings, both of them stood motionless.
The officiant came out to smooth things over.
“The couple is too excited and forgot the procedure for a moment. Let’s give them another round of applause for encouragement.”
Amidst the enthusiastic applause from the crowd, Zack threw the ring on the ground.
“I don’t want to marry her.”
With those words, the whole venue was in an uproar.
Lily’s mouth was still as venomous as ever.
“What, you think I want to marry a eunuch like you?”
“You…”
“You’ve been pent up for so many years, your mind is completely warped. If it weren’t for giving the child a father, do you think I’d be willing to marry you?”
Lily picked up the ring and nonchalantly put it on her own finger.
Then she forcefully shoved the other ring onto Zack’s finger.
“Zack, we’re both trash. We deserve to rot together for life.”
As for who the father of her child was, even she didn’t know.
She liked to hook up with male models and had slept with quite a few of them.
Penny even showed up at the wedding.
She looked very haggard. At just 25 years old, she looked like a middle–aged person who had been weathered by the sun and wind.
She laughed maniacally, “That’s right, you two should rot together.”
The group chat was in an uproar.
“The end. Throwing flowers!”
“In a way, they really are a perfect match.”
“Shipping this villain couple so hard.”

“Let’s congratulate this pair of villains on their happy ending.”
