Jiang Pengyue was furious.
She never expected that, after all her longing and anticipation, she would be looked down upon by her in-laws, and even have her own parents betray her.
Damn it.
After she tricked Xu Guidao away, her hands, which were gripping the table, were trembling.
While racking her brains trying to figure out how to deal with the two old men, Zhou Xiangqun, who hadn't shown up for a while, suddenly returned. She hurriedly went up to greet him.
Zhou Xiangqun looked disgusted, avoided her hand, and said coldly, "Jiang Pengyue, you piece of trash, you went to great lengths to marry me, but you only wanted my Zhou family's power. Now I'm completely unemployed, are you happy now?"
Yan Lin reported him, and the organization has been investigating.
The results just happened to come out today. He has been dismissed from his post for misconduct. At best, he can only rely on family connections to get a vacancy. There is absolutely no chance of him getting promoted.
He was furious and wished he could kill Jiang Pengyue, who was in his way.
Thump.
Before Zhou Xiangqun's fist could land, Jiang Pengyue knelt down and hugged his leg, pleading, "Xiangqun, I'm not after your family's power. I just want you to be a reliable person who loves you wholeheartedly. Otherwise, why would I still hold a wedding with you after my second brother was executed and my adoptive mother passed away? Do you only have Xu Manzhi in your eyes?"
*Smack*
Zhou Xiangqun slapped her hard across the face, then pounded her head violently, shouting, "You're clearly a used shoe, who knows how many men have slept with you. There's not a single clean person in your Jiang family, you're the dirtiest one!"
Since the investigation began, the flattery and fawning have disappeared, replaced by malicious mockery, with one sarcastic remark after another saying he married a worthless woman…
They also said that Jiang Pengyue was a prostitute and that she was a corrupt official.
He was furious.
Especially when family members come looking for him, it's like adding fuel to a fire, making the fire burn even brighter.
As soon as he gained his freedom, he wanted to go home and kill the woman who had implicated him for two lifetimes.
Jiang Pengyue looked up, her eyes streaked with tears, but she saw the figure in the corner. She raised her voice, crying out in fear and terror, "Xiang Qun, calm down! I'm carrying your child! Don't hit me! I know I was wrong, I won't do it again..."
Zhou Xiangqun was completely bewildered.
Then he understood.
"Zhou Xiangqun, you beast, are you even human?"
A shout came from behind. Old Zhou rushed forward like lightning and, before he could react, slapped his son hard across the face, sending him sprawling to the ground.
Yang Mei rushed over, helped Jiang Pengyue up, and carefully examined her. She found that Jiang Pengyue's hair had been torn and her cheeks were covered in bruises. Fearing that Jiang Pengyue's baby had been hurt, she hurriedly asked, "How are you? Is your stomach hurt?"
Jiang Pengyue was crying and sniffling.
She shook her head, crying.
Yang Mei breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to her son with a disappointed look and said, "Xiang Qun, no matter how much you misbehave, there has to be a limit. Don't spoil yourself into becoming a devil, or no one can save you."
Even if what her son said in his dream was true.
Even though Jiang Pengyue was his dream wife, everything had changed.
The Jiang family is gone.
Jiang Pengyue was meek and obedient, her temperament completely different from the arrogant, domineering, and ruthless woman in Xiang Qunmeng's dream. Now that they were married and had a child, why couldn't they live together?
The Gu family came to see her.
After hearing about Gu Jiajia's situation, she went to the Gu family with a generous gift and agreed to several conditions. She also called several old friends in the province, and Gu Qingshu was on the list of those to be promoted in the next round.
Gu Tongkai gritted his teeth and agreed.
However, Xu Xiaofeng kept crying and refused to see them, while also cursing the Zhou family to die, which made people feel quite uncomfortable.
But the mistake has already been made, and the only thing they can do is try their best to cooperate with the Gu family and make amends to Gu Jiajia.
However, they didn't see Gu Jiajia when they went to the Gu family home.
When I went out to look for someone just now, I ran into Deng Hui and his group. I learned from them that the Gu family had sent Gu Jiajia to a small town in the north overnight to marry a widower.
The Gu family's affairs have come to a temporary end, but the most worrying one is still the youngest son, Zhou Xiangqun.
He's never been one to live a peaceful life; he's clearly heading towards disaster. If this continues, it'll never end, and he'll blow up the last vestiges of warmth in the Zhou family.
"Why aren't you packing your things and coming back to Beijing with us? Staying in Haicheng, aren't you ashamed enough?" Old Zhou shouted.
I was so angry I could die.
I can't hold my head up anywhere.
He had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life.
But Zhou Xiangqun stubbornly retorted, jumping and shouting, "I won't go back to Beijing. Where I fell, I will get up again. Even if I die, I will not easily return to Beijing."
He wanted revenge.
Since he couldn't marry Xu Manzhi and Yan Lin ruined his future, he would never give up until he broke them up!
"Fine, fine, fine, you've grown wings. Since you're so disobedient, then we'll sever all ties. From now on, whether you live or die, it has nothing to do with the Zhou family!" Old Zhou roared.
"So what if we break up? What am I afraid of!"
Zhou Xiangqun sneered.
He still couldn't believe it; the old man was willing to abandon the child in Jiang Pengyue's belly.
But to everyone's surprise, Old Zhou was determined.
He stared coldly at Zhou Xiangqun, neither shouting nor getting angry. Instead, he became calmer, his gaze becoming even more resolute. He said, "Fine, since you've made your decision, I will publish a notice in the newspaper to sever ties with you. From now on, we will no longer be father and son."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Yang Mei's cheeks flushed red with anxiety, and her body felt cold. She didn't know which side to persuade, so she finally sighed, took out thirty yuan bills from her pocket, and stuffed them into Jiang Pengyue's hand.
She still said, "Xiang Qun, stop making a fuss. Everything has settled down, so just live your life properly. Your original intention was to keep the Zhou family out of trouble. You should be fine, but if you don't change, your dream will not only fail to help you, but will become the root of your trouble."
Knowing everything beforehand, he should have stayed away instead of compounding his mistakes.
Isn't this absurd?
She gave Jiang Pengyue a deep look, then helplessly went after Lao Zhou.
Jiang Pengyue looked puzzled.
What dream?
How come Zhou Xiangqun never mentioned it?
Zhou Xiangqun loathed her the moment he saw her, disregarding her feelings, and said firmly, "Jiang Pengyue, this house is rented by me, and the lease expires in a month. Since you don't want to leave or get a divorce, then I'll move out. Starting today, I'll beat you every time I see you. Don't blame me for not warning you."
Thinking about his past foolishness, he wanted to punch himself twice.
He blamed the Jiang and Gu families for setting a trap to harm him, blamed Jiang Pengyue for being greedy and cheap, blamed Xu Manzhi for not agreeing to his request, and hated Yan Lin even more for kicking him when he was down!
Since they won't give him a way out, he'll unleash the beast within him and become a true demon, slaughtering all those who hurt, deceived, harmed, and humiliated him.
Especially Yan Lin.
A monster dared to steal his woman. Even though Xu Manzhi was used and discarded by him, it was not up to an ugly monster to take her away. This was the truly infuriating thing that pierced his spine.
He wants Yan Lin dead!
