The two-week period is getting closer.

The wind howled even louder.

Jiang Pengyue could hardly sit still any longer.

She and Zhou Xiangqun disliked each other, but she couldn't lose the title of Zhou's daughter-in-law.

How could Zhou Xiangqun possibly try to steal Yan Lin's wife?

She went to Secretary Ling and cried.

"Secretary, you can't just stand by and watch Xiang Qun act recklessly! Yan Lin is so ugly, and what exactly does Xu Manzhi mean? She wants to steal my husband; she's clearly a promiscuous woman, and a—"

Swoosh.

Secretary Ling glared at her fiercely.

She dared to say things she shouldn't have, and the organization dared to take action against her.

Jiang Pengyue was startled and hurriedly sobbed, "No, no, I mean, Yan Lin is notoriously ugly. Xu Manzhi knows that Xiang Qun is more handsome than Yan Lin, she's obviously doing it on purpose. She wants to steal my man, she's shameless."

Secretary Ling was also extremely troubled.

At first, he didn't pay attention.

But as the situation escalated, Yan Lin's ugliness once again became a hot topic of discussion, with even street vendors chuckling, "That ugly freak, tsk tsk, even the Ten Kings of Hell aren't that ugly. No wonder his wife can't stand him."

During each meeting, some young people would look in the mirror and half-jokingly say, "I have to thank my parents for not making me as ugly as Yan Lin, otherwise my wife would have cheated on me, hahaha—"

This is getting more and more chaotic.

They couldn't even lure out the Xu family's inside man...

Secretary Ling felt it necessary to ask Xu Manzhi to make a trip on his birthday to quell the storm.

“I’ll handle this. You can go back now,” he said.

Jiang Pengyue wanted to cry.

But having been told to leave, she could only go back with a dark expression.

As soon as she got back, Zhou Xiangqun came to her door with a divorce agreement and said, "This is my divorce agreement. You can just sign it."

"Wow--"

Jiang Pengyue burst into tears.

She grabbed Zhou Xiangqun's leg and pleaded, "I'm pregnant with your child! You can't be so heartless as to divorce me. What if Xu Manzhi is just playing around with you?"

Should we take him out for a walk?

What makes him worthy?

Zhou Xiangqun laughed.

He squatted down, grabbed Jiang Pengyue's hair, and sneered, "I'm more handsome than Yan Lin. Xu Manzhi promised me personally that unless Yan Lin is reborn with a good face, he can forget about it."

Which woman doesn't love to look pretty?

My husband is so ugly. At first, I was just curious, but after a while, even the novelty wore off and I just started to feel disgusted.

Xu Manzhi is also beautiful.

She has many men who admire her.

She must have her own ideas and want to find someone better.

"You, you're crazy, really crazy. I won't sign. Remember what your older brother said: if you bully me again, I won't let you go back to Beijing," Jiang Pengyue said tremblingly.

She ran away as soon as she finished speaking.

Zhou Xiangqun sneered.

He wanted to go back to Beijing and start over.

His older brother also made a promise to him.

But my older brother didn't say which one to take back.

If it were Xu Manzhi instead, the Zhou family might be even happier.

While excitedly waiting, Zhou Xiangqun leisurely called on his friends and invited them to attend Secretary Ling's birthday banquet, so that everyone could witness Yan Lin's downfall.

Stomp him to death.

An ugly freak actually snatched the beautiful Xu Manzhi from his hands.

I hate it just thinking about it.

Soon, the two-week period will be over.

On this day, Secretary Ling chose to host a banquet at a state-run restaurant, with two tables set up for the event.

After all, their home was under lockdown.

He can't go back either.

But people came to join the fun in droves, whether they were interested or not; they were all just there to watch the drama unfold and see how this competition of handsome men came to an end.

Zhou Xiangqun arrived the earliest.

Those who used to dislike and ignore him returned one after another, crowding around to inquire about him: "Xiang Qun, how are you doing? Are you confident in yourself?"

"Xu Manzhi was originally yours; you just snatched her back."

"Yan Lin should have the self-awareness to withdraw voluntarily and give Xu Manzhi her freedom."

Divorce is a shameful thing.

The whole city is in an uproar right now, and while everyone is talking about it, they secretly despise Xu Manzhi.

Even if the man is ugly, it's still her own choice.

She didn't object when we got married, so why is she making a scene now?

Zhou Xiangqun looked smug.

He was just about to speak when Xu Manzhi walked in.

"Manzhi, you've finally arrived. Quickly tell everyone, are you going to divorce Yan Lin and choose to be with me?" Zhou Xiangqun said in a flippant tone.

"Get out of my way!" Zou Xiaozhou shoved Zhou Xiangqun.

Secretary Ling called the military region and specially drove to the family compound to pick up Xu Manzhi.

He was responsible for protecting his sister-in-law.

"Who do you think you are? You wouldn't happen to have your eye on her too, would you?"

*Smack*

Zou Xiaozhou couldn't hold back any longer and slapped Zhou Xiangqun across the face, yelling angrily, "Your mouth is full of shit! If you can't speak properly, then shut your dog mouth!"

Zhou Xiangqun was so angry after being hit that he tried to pounce on him and bite him.

"Alright. What's all this commotion? When will it end?" Secretary Ling scolded.

He came with a group of people.

He was surrounded by influential people in Haicheng.

The state-run restaurant also closed for a day, making room for everyone.

Everyone here is someone of importance.

Those who were just watching from afar could only observe and couldn't approach.

Zhou Xiangqun covered his slapped face, glared at Zou Xiaozhou resentfully, and said irritably, "I won't hold it against you for the sake of the Party Secretary, hmph."

Just as he was about to speak to Xu Manzhi, Jiang Pengyue rushed into the room.
