Couple Threw Their Toddlers Away for Their “Perfect Life”
She told him it's them or me. He chose her. What he did next got them both executed
Chongqing, China. A megacity. 32 million people crammed into 32,000 square miles.
Zhang Bo lives on the 15th floor of an apartment building with a balcony that overlooks a strip of grass and bushes
below. He's a dad. Two kids. His daughter Ruoxi is 2 years old. His son Yangri just turned 1.
He's also been cheating on his wife Chen Mein since 2019.
The other woman's name is Ye Cheng Chen.
By February 2020, Zhang leaves his wife and proposes to Ye. Fresh start. New life together.
There's one problem.
Ye has no idea he has kids.
When Zhang finally tells her, the reaction is instant.
She's not just upset.
She's disgusted. Some reports say her parents were dead set against her marrying a man with a ready made family.
Others say Ye herself couldn't stomach the idea of being a stepmom.
Either way, those two kids were in the way of the life she wanted.
She gives Zhang an ultimatum that should have ended everything right there.
"When the kids are gone, I will marry you."
Zhang doesn't leave. Doesn't hang up. Doesn't report her.
He starts working out a custody arrangement with his ex wife.
He takes the boy. She keeps the girl. Things seem civil. Almost normal. Then he tells Ye about the plan.
She doesn't care about custody.
She doesn't want the kids to exist.
"Why don't you just kill them both?Since you'll be killing anyway."
She says it like she's solving a math problem.
Zhang still doesn't walk away.
Instead he picks up the phone and calls his ex wife.
Suggests a play date.Says it would be nice for the kids to spend the day together at his apartment.
She brings their little girl over.
Drops her off.
Kisses her goodbye.
And leaves.
