Chapter 312 Extravagant Wife VS Scrap-Collecting Husband 6
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
"Ziyu." Someone couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Zechuan has something to do today, so let him go first. There will be plenty of opportunities to get together again in the future. Let's make an appointment next time."
Someone handed Zhou Zechuan a tissue, saying, "Here, wipe your clothes."
Yang Ziyu returned to his seat and said nonchalantly, "Zechuan, I didn't mean it. You shouldn't hold it against me, right? How much did your clothes cost? I'll pay you back. It's not a big deal. I just didn't want you to spoil the fun for everyone. It's rare for us to get together, so let's not ruin our friendship."
Zhou Zechuan wiped his face briefly with a tissue, still ignoring Yang Ziyu.
"Husband." Jiang Zhiyi appeared at the door.
Just now, a woman in the small private room quietly told her that something unexpected had happened and that she should come to this private room to check on Zhou Zechuan as soon as possible.
She figured Zhou Zechuan was definitely being targeted, so she delayed for a while before rushing over just in time.
When Zhou Zechuan saw Jiang Zhiyi, his expression remained unchanged, but his heart sank a little more. He wondered how much of what had just happened had she witnessed.
He quickly strode forward and took her hand. "Let's go."
Jiang Zhiyi didn't ask any more questions for the time being, and simply followed him out of the private room.
Just as the two were about to reach the elevator, Jiang Zhiyi abruptly shook off his hand and said in a rather unpleasant tone, "Go to the restroom and wash up first; you smell."
Zhou Zechuan could tell she wasn't happy; she probably saw everything that had just happened.
Jiang Zhiyi frowned again and said, "I'll wait for you at the entrance of the club. Come out and find me after you've washed up."
Her tone suggested she was disgusted by his disheveled appearance and didn't want anyone to see him beside her.
“…Hmm.” Zhou Zechuan responded softly, then turned and went to the restroom.
Jiang Zhiyi looked at his lonely figure and felt a little sorry for him. She was going to humiliate him even more later, and she wondered if he could bear it.
She was about to take the elevator downstairs when she realized a second later that she didn't have her phone with her.
She had left her phone on the sofa in the large private room where she had initially been. She had originally planned to finish her meal in the smaller private room and then go back to get it, but she hadn't thought about it at all.
Jiang Zhiyi had no choice but to go back and get her phone.
She had just reached the door of the private room when she heard people talking about her and Zhou Zechuan.
If I remember correctly, that was Wang Shenhai's voice.
Wang Shenhai: "In my opinion, you need to be capable to succeed in society. Being a good student in school doesn't mean you're capable. If you're not good at it, it's all for nothing. It's really unexpected that he's ended up like this... Tsk, looking at his wife, she's so beautiful, she's probably not a trustworthy woman either. That diamond necklace she's wearing today must be expensive. Where could Zhou Zechuan afford it in his current situation? I wonder if she's hooking up with some random guy and got it from him..."
Yang Ziyu chuckled a few times, "Hey, you can't just say things like that..."
Although he said these words, his tone clearly indicated that he agreed with this statement.
A fire ignited in Jiang Zhiyi's heart. Just moments ago, Wang Shenhai had been calling her "sister-in-law" and treating her with utmost politeness, praising her clothes and jewelry. Now, his attitude had changed so quickly, and he was even spreading rumors about her behind her back.
She pushed the door open forcefully.
Ignoring the surprised expressions of the group of people in the private room, she walked past them and went straight to the sofa to pick up her phone.
Still feeling indignant, she picked up two fruit plates from the low table in front of the sofa and splashed them on Wang Shenhai.
His clothes were covered in fruit scraps, and Yang Ziyu, who was sitting next to him, was not spared either, getting a lot of juice splashed on his face.
“You—” Wang Shenhai stood up angrily.
Jiang Zhiyi was not afraid at all and said angrily, "If you have the guts, go call the police. I'll sue you for spreading rumors first. If you have a foul mouth, shut it up. If you really can't control your mouth, go home and have your wife tie you up with a rope so you don't go around shouting nonsense."
"Looking down on me, huh? Who do you think you are? You're not even worth a finger of Zhou Zechuan's. He didn't steal or rob; he earned the money himself to buy me a necklace. What's wrong with that? Is it because all your money is stolen or robbed that you always habitually make malicious assumptions about others? Even if he were a garbage collector, he'd be better off than you! Open your eyes and see. Do you really think he's just a scrap collector? You're like a frog in a well; if you're so ignorant, go read some books..."
After Jiang Zhiyi finished scolding, she prepared to leave.
The private room had two doors. She had come in through the front door, but now if she wanted to leave, she would have to go around them again. She was worried that they would get angry and throw things at her, so she decided to leave through the back door instead of getting entangled with them.
She didn't realize that Zhou Zechuan was standing at the front door. In fact, he had come out of the restroom a long time ago, and then saw her enter the private room from a distance, so he quickly followed her.
He had seen everything that had just happened.
Jiang Zhiyi waited for Zhou Zechuan by the stone pier at the entrance of the club. Perhaps because she was standing under the light, many mosquitoes were flying around.
A small flying insect got into her eye, and she blinked frantically, then couldn't help but rub her eyes.
Five minutes later, Zhou Zechuan came out.
Jiang Zhiyi: "Let's take a taxi back."
The two hailed a taxi.
The car was very quiet; not a single person spoke.
Zhou Zechuan turned to look at her and noticed her slightly reddened eyes.
He knew why she was famous; when he came out just now, he saw her wiping away tears...
She was wronged today. He's incompetent, making her lose face by following him, and she's even being maliciously targeted.
Zhou Zechuan wanted to say something to comfort her, but Jiang Zhiyi broke the silence first.
"I knew I shouldn't have come today. Look at the state of your classmates. Do you know how embarrassing you are today? How can you be so useless..."
Jiang Zhiyi said a lot, constantly blaming him, complaining about him, and disliking him, saying many bad things about him.
But Zhou Zechuan didn't listen to a word she said; he was still thinking about the scene in the private room where she stood up for him.
"I will never come to this kind of occasion with you again. It's just too embarrassing..."
Jiang Zhiyi continued to complain.
"Alright, I know, stop talking." Zhou Zechuan suddenly interrupted her.
Jiang Zhiyi finally calmed down, guessing that he was probably getting impatient.
Zhou Zechuan leaned over.
Jiang Zhiyi immediately tried to dodge to the side. Was he going to hit her?
He's never been violent before, so was he really provoked this time?
As Jiang Zhiyi pondered what he wanted to do, Zhou Zechuan cupped her face in his hands and placed an incredibly gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Thank you, honey," he said.
