Hangzhou, after the 2020 pandemic. Xiao Feng's mask factory suddenly became hugely profitable, while Jiang Tingting's hotpot restaurant business hit rock bottom. Four of her six branches had closed, and the remaining two were barely hanging on. Her business had gone into a tailspin, and Jiang Tingting, once the most highly regarded person in the family, was now treated with cold indifference.
Under the cover of night, Jiang Tingting wheeled her suitcase toward the train station and called Xiao Feng.
"There's a problem at the Suzhou branch. I have to catch a flight there tonight. You pick up the kid this evening."
"Mm," Xiao Feng replied, then hung up.
But suddenly, Jiang Tingting got a call from Suzhou. "Ms. Jiang, one of the chefs at our store here has been identified as a close contact. You'd better not come. When things settle down, we can have a video meeting."
With no choice, Jiang Tingting dragged her suitcase back to her home in the city center.
But the moment she opened the door, she froze.
High heels, stockings, a skirt, all kinds of underwear, and some very explicit sex toys belonging to a woman she didn't know.
Inside, a strange woman was straddling her husband, Xiao Feng, moving back and forth. As the sounds grew more intense, so did her movements.
Looking at the scene before her, Jiang Tingting realized it all said one thing: yes, he had cheated on her.
