Chapter 81 No One Can Escape

She extended her finger and calmly offered it.

"Alright, since you say you want money, then I'll show you. This is the 'shareholding agreement' you've been thinking about and longing for all this time."

Wu Haiyan's eyes lit up.

She thought to herself, "Finally, this moment has come!"

Once you get the contract, the ownership of the shares will be clearly stated in black and white.

She would then have grounds to claim damages, and could even threaten the other party.

Immediately afterwards, she eagerly turned to the first page, her eyes scanning it quickly.

On the first page, the four large characters "Child Custody Agreement" are clearly written.

The handwriting is neat and clear, and there is a notary office's seal at the bottom.

She paused for a moment, her heart sinking, but she was still unwilling to give up and continued reading.

The content is clear and written in black and white.

As the party at fault in the marriage, Zhou Dajun is required to pay Zhou Shufen child support on a monthly basis after the divorce. The specific amount, payment method, and liability for overdue payments are clearly stated without any ambiguity.

Zhou Shufen stood in front of her.

“Wu Haiyan, open your eyes wide and see clearly. Don’t try to turn the tables and play the victim. He is the one at fault, and paying child support is his due, legally and morally justifiable. I’m not pursuing his full responsibility now, and I’m not making a big deal out of this. But if you really think I’m afraid of trouble, you’re wrong. If I really take it to court, the judgment will only be harsher.”

"Impossible! You're lying! He had no idea what kind of agreement it was when he signed it! You two colluded! You must have tricked him into signing it!"

Wu Haiyan was furious.

She gritted her teeth, refusing to admit that she had completely lost.

She was still trying to hold on, shouting incoherently.

"This is unfair! He never wanted a divorce! You set him up! You forced him to sign! He had no idea he was signing a child custody agreement!"

"It's no use throwing it away."

Zhou Shufen remained calm, without even frowning.

She glanced down at the scattered documents.

“Even without this piece of paper, I can still win a lawsuit against you. I have plenty of evidence in my hands, including transfer records, call recordings, and chat screenshots of his extramarital affair. The court won’t just look at a contract. I just don’t want to make a fuss right now and want some peace and quiet. I don’t want to escalate things further. But don’t think I have no trump cards. Don’t force me to reveal everything.”

Wu Haiyan suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with resentment.

"You insidious woman! You've been plotting against us from the very beginning! You planned this all along, didn't you? Just waiting for this day? You were just waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves, weren't you?"

"Calculation?"

Zhou Shufen suddenly chuckled softly.

"I can tear this contract up right now and burn it right in front of you. You believe me?"

She paused, her gaze sharpening.

"But let me remind you, I can sue anytime I want. And I heard you've already registered your marriage? Legally, you're now husband and wife. So this child support payment is a debt you both owe. You're jointly liable, and neither of you can escape it."

Wu Haiyan's mind went blank.

Her face was deathly pale, her lips were trembling, and she could barely stand.

Not getting the money was bad enough, and her hopes were shattered. But what's even worse is that she not only won't get any benefits, but she'll also be burdened with a heavy debt.

She and Zhou Dajun had only been married for a short time when she was burdened with child support payments from his ex-wife.

How could she accept this?

How can I explain this to my family?

How should we face the future?

It was clear that they could no longer gain any advantage from Zhou Shufen.

All her hopes vanished, and she instantly turned all her anger and resentment toward Zhou Dajun, the instigator.

She turned around abruptly and burst out at Zhou Dajun.

"It's all your fault! You were so stupid for not reading the contract carefully before signing! Now you've dragged me into this debt! Do you know what that means? It means I have to pay your debts! I'm telling you, I won't pay back a single penny! Not a single penny! We're getting a divorce right now! I want a divorce right now! Anyone who doesn't is a coward!"

Wu Haiyan shouted a whole bunch of things in one breath.

She insisted on breaking up, her attitude resolute and leaving no room for negotiation.

Zhou Dajun, who had been looking dejected, was shocked when he heard the word "divorce".

He was suddenly jolted.

His head, which had been hanging low, immediately lifted up, his eyes unfocused.

"What did you say? You want a divorce just because you hear I owe money? You only got close to me for my money, didn't you?"

Zhou Dajun's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

He initially believed he was the victim in the relationship.

But now, the other party wants to dump him first?

In his view, this was simply incomprehensible.

"Yeah, so what? Look at yourself, a pathetic loser. What makes you worth my time?"

Wu Haiyan gave a cold laugh.

She looked Zhou Dajun up and down, her eyes filled with contempt.

"He has no job, no income, and spends all his time idly. He can't even pay his mortgage, and I'll have to support him in the future."

She became increasingly angry as she spoke, and her voice grew louder and louder.

"I'm not going to serve a piece of trash like you. Go and get the paperwork done right now! I won't give you a single penny more!"

Wu Haiyan had had enough these past few days.

Looking back on these days, she had humbled herself to coax him in order to maintain the marriage, and even borrowed money to pay off his debts, but what did she get in return?

She felt nauseous just thinking about how she squatted in the kitchen, cooking noodles and wiping away tears!

"You vile woman, how dare you curse me like that!"

Zhou Dajun was hit where it hurt, and his anger flared up, making his face feel burning hot.

He felt utterly humiliated and had lost all his dignity.

Especially being so humiliated in front of the neighbors.

In a moment of madness, he completely lost control and raised his hand to slap the other person hard.

The slap sounded loudly.

Caught off guard, Wu Haiyan's head was turned to the side by the slap.

My cheeks were burning, and my ears were ringing.

She stood frozen in place, her eyes quickly shifting from shock to raging fury.

She covered her face, her knuckles turning white, her eyes red with anger.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

She yelled at him, "You dare hit me? I'm not finished with you today! You believe I'll call the police and have you arrested? I'll sue you for domestic violence!"

She rammed her head hard into his stomach.

That strike was both ruthless and precise.

Zhou Dajun cried out "Ouch!" and bent over in pain. Before he could react, he was hit a second time.

The two of them started fighting right in front of everyone, including their neighbors and Zhou Shufen!

Clothes were torn and hair was pulled apart, the scene was a complete mess.

"Crazy woman, stop right now!"

Zhou Dajun was knocked backward, his back hitting the stair railing with a loud bang.

He covered his stomach with one hand and waved his other hand wildly, wanting to stop them but not knowing where to start.

He completely lost his composure.

His usual arrogance had vanished completely.

"I'll run you over! Who gave you the right to hit me? Nobody's ever dared to lay a finger on me since I was a kid, who do you think you are!"

Wu Haiyan's hair was disheveled, and sweat beaded on her forehead.

The anger in her eyes was almost burning.

He turned and pounced on Zhou Dajun again, scratching his face with his fingernails.
