Chapter 39 really wants him to die.
The reason Lin Xiaowei wants a divorce is because Zhou Cheng and Chen Guilan are getting too close, isn't it? Doesn't Zhou Cheng know that? No, he does know, but he doesn't care about her feelings at all.
She is now starting to wonder just how far things have progressed between Zhou Cheng and Chen Guilan.
"Have you and Chen Guilan known each other for a long time?" Lin Xiaowei asked suspiciously.
She suspected that Zhou Cheng had a relationship with Chen Guilan before his elder brother died.
After understanding Lin Xiaowei's words, Zhou Cheng exclaimed in shock, "How could you say such a thing? She's our sister-in-law!"
Chen Guilan cried and said, "Xiaowei, Acheng and I are completely innocent. Don't misunderstand. If you think I'm a burden, I can leave right away. Anyway, I don't care if I die in the countryside. I'll pack my bags and leave today."
"As long as you can live a good life, I'm fine."
Zhou Cheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he kept his mouth shut.
He remained silent, feeling utterly overwhelmed.
Lin Xiaowei gave a cold laugh.
This wasn't the first time Chen Guilan had played this trick. She would cry and make a scene before, saying she wanted to go back, but she never actually did. In the end, it was always her and Zhou Cheng who argued.
She's tired of this kind of trick.
This time, however, she won't argue with Zhou Cheng anymore.
She has arranged everything and is just waiting for a few days before she can leave.
...
"Zhou Cheng is divorced."
This is no secret; the divorce papers have already been approved, and Huo Chenzhou knows about it.
Shen Zhixia knew they had argued, but she didn't expect them to actually get divorced: "They're so efficient! I thought they wouldn't be able to get divorced anytime soon."
Huo Chenzhou said, "Zhou Cheng originally didn't want a divorce, but Lin Xiaowei applied for a forced divorce. She also had to go to the Northwest to make contributions, so the higher-ups approved it directly. Even if Zhou Cheng didn't want a divorce, there was nothing he could do."
Shen Zhixia nodded: "Then Sister Xiaowei is a decisive person. Zhou Cheng will probably only be left here alone in the future. He will definitely send Chen Guilan away."
When Lin Xiaowei was here, Zhou Cheng was able to bring his widowed sister-in-law to live with him, but now that Lin Xiaowei is gone, if he is still with Chen Guilan, it will easily attract gossip.
Now Zhou Cheng is truly all alone. If he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place? In the end, it's all Zhou Cheng's own doing.
Shen Zhixia said, "However, I always feel that Chen Guilan is not someone to be trifled with; she may not necessarily go back to the countryside."
Having followed Zhou Cheng for so long, clinging to him so tightly, Chen Guilan was not about to give up so easily.
Huo Chenzhou said, "I don't know about that. Anyway, Lin Xiaowei's transfer order has been issued. She will be leaving in four days. It's definitely not appropriate for Zhou Cheng and Chen Guilan to live together. He has to resolve this matter."
As the deputy commander, he couldn't possibly live with his widowed sister-in-law; that was forbidden by the organization.
Shen Zhixia nodded.
She admired Lin Xiaowei quite a bit. It was rare for Lin Xiaowei to be able to file for divorce in this era without any hesitation. Indeed, women need to have a career to have confidence.
I thought everything would be fine after their divorce.
However, to her surprise, on the fifth day, when Lin Xiaowei was about to leave, Zhou Cheng stopped her and wouldn't let her go no matter what.
Zhou Cheng held her hand tightly, refusing to let her leave.
There's only one train this year that goes from here to the Northwest. If Lin Xiaowei misses this train, she won't be able to go anywhere.
He was determined to keep Lin Xiaowei, no matter what method he had to use.
When Zhou Cheng learned that Lin Xiaowei was leaving, he was filled with fear, feeling that he was about to lose something very precious.
He cannot lose Lin Xiaowei.
The two then began to pull and tug at each other, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.
The affair between Lin Xiaowei and Zhou Cheng has caused quite a stir these past few days, and it ultimately ended in divorce, which they both knew. Unexpectedly, Zhou Cheng was unkind and still refused to let her go even at this point.
"Zhou Cheng, what exactly are you trying to do? We're already divorced. What right do you have to stop me from leaving? If we miss the train, can you take responsibility?" Lin Xiaowei was also getting anxious.
She wasn't as strong as Zhou Cheng. If Zhou Cheng didn't let her leave, she wouldn't be able to. If she missed this bus, she would have to stay here. She had already broken ties with Zhou Cheng; she didn't want to continue living with him.
The onlookers said, "Yes, Deputy Commander Zhou, the divorce application has already been approved. You and Deputy Director Lin Xiao are no longer husband and wife. How can you not let her leave?"
Zhou Cheng quickly said, "My relationship with Xiaowei is not broken. I didn't know about her applying for a divorce. There must be a misunderstanding. I don't agree to the divorce. She can't leave."
Only now did he realize his feelings. He loved Lin Xiaowei. His relationship with Lin Xiaowei over the years was not something he could let go of so easily. Over the years, he had become accustomed to Lin Xiaowei by his side, and he could not leave her.
Lin Xiaowei shook her hand in annoyance, but she couldn't shake off Zhou Cheng's hand at all. As time passed by and her train was about to arrive at the station, she said angrily, "Enough, Zhou Cheng, our relationship has long been broken. Let go of me now, and I can let it go."
Zhou Cheng's eyes, however, held a stubborn glint: "You clearly like me, our relationship is harmonious, I can't let you go."
Lin Xiaowei almost threw up.
She originally wanted to leave quietly, but Zhou Cheng deliberately didn't give her that chance.
She then realized how shameless Zhou Cheng was. She sneered, "Zhou Cheng, I thought I had made myself clear. I suspect that the child in Chen Guilan's belly is yours, so I am applying for a forced divorce. Can't you understand human language?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around immediately started talking about it.
Everyone sided with Lin Xiaowei, as if it were indeed true.
Shen Zhixia glanced at Huo Chenzhou beside her and asked curiously, "Zhou Cheng and Chen Guilan were so ambiguous before, why is no one talking about it?"
Huo Chenzhou said, "Lin Xiaowei used to suppress the news."
Shen Zhixia suddenly realized, "I knew it! Everyone could see how close Zhou Cheng and Chen Guilan were, but no one had said anything wrong. It turns out that Lin Xiaowei had been explaining things up for Zhou Cheng, but now Lin Xiaowei wasn't having it anymore and was bringing their relationship to the forefront."
Zhou Cheng's face was deathly pale as he stared intently at Lin Xiaowei.
Lin Xiaowei's face was expressionless, and her eyes were filled with coldness.
Finally, Zhou Cheng understood that Lin Xiaowei really wanted him dead.
She knew perfectly well how much her words would affect him, but Lin Xiaowei still did it.
