Chapter 316 Extravagant Wife VS Scrap-Collecting Husband 10
Jiang Zhiyi: "I'm sorry, something came up and I might have to leave soon."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Yao Ying had originally planned to go shopping with her later.
"Yes, let's arrange to meet again next time. Today was really unfortunate. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Seeing this, Yao Ying didn't know how to stop her. "Alright, then go ahead and do what you need to do."
Not long after, Fang Chengwen sent a message to Jiang Zhiyi, saying that he had reached the position she had mentioned.
Jiang Zhiyi picked up her bag, said goodbye to Yao Ying, and left the coffee shop.
Through the glass window of the coffee shop, Yao Ying saw Jiang Zhiyi get into a black Bentley.
It's likely that the person driving to pick her up now is her husband, Zhou Zechuan.
I noticed earlier that Jiang Zhiyi didn't seem to want to talk about cars, but I didn't expect it was because she wanted to keep a low profile. This car isn't cheap; an average person might not be able to afford it even after a lifetime of hard work.
On the bus.
Upon seeing that she was wearing the bracelet he had given her, Fang Cheng said, "That day was too rushed, and everything was prepared in a hurry. I was worried that you wouldn't like it."
"No, it's fine, I like it very much." Jiang Zhiyi looked down at her wrist.
Fang Chengwen continued driving. He had already made a reservation at the restaurant, so they could go there directly now.
Logically speaking, Jiang Zhiyi is now married, and he should keep a certain distance from her, but he still couldn't resist asking her out.
Of course, he is a morally upright person, and he would never do something like destroying someone else's family. He just has some questions he wants to clarify.
He did have a crush on Jiang Zhiyi when he was in college. One night, just before graduation, he carefully arranged a venue to confess his feelings to her.
He asked a friend to help him arrange to meet Jiang Zhiyi. However, he waited there all night, and she didn't show up until midnight.
He was somewhat proud at the time, and he was angry. He never asked her why she hadn't come to their date. Even if she didn't want to accept his confession, she should at least have given him a response instead of simply ignoring him.
Looking back now, he still feels somewhat resentful.
Although it's been a long time since then and the two of them can't be together now, he still wants to find out what she was thinking back then, so as to put an end to this long-standing worry.
He plans to ask her again at a better time later.
These days he has also had people investigate her husband. He runs a scrap metal shop and barely makes a living. His economic situation is very poor, even dire.
He didn't understand why she would marry such a person, and he didn't know if she had been deceived.
When they reached the traffic light, Fang Chengwen turned to look at Jiang Zhiyi and suddenly noticed a bruise on the side of her left wrist, which had been hidden by her sleeve.
"What happened to your hand?" he asked.
Seeing that he was staring at the bruise on his hand, Jiang Zhi straightened his sleeves to cover the injury. "It's nothing, I just bumped into something."
She looked away somewhat awkwardly.
A few nights ago, she lost her temper and wanted to teach Zhou Zechuan a lesson, but she accidentally bumped her hand on the bedside table, which left her with the injury.
Seeing her evasive gaze and uncomfortable expression, Fang Cheng had a different guess in his mind.
I never expected her husband to be so abusive towards her...
A poor man with no skills but a terrible temper, all he does is beat his wife at home.
Fang Chengwen frowned slightly; it seemed that she hadn't been doing very well these past few years.
Jiang Zhiyi was looking at the scenery outside the car window and didn't notice Fang Chengwen's strange behavior at all.
After the two finished their meal, Fang Chengwen drove Jiang Zhiyi back to the cadre residential area.
"If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me for help anytime. I also know quite a few lawyer friends... After all, we are classmates, so don't be so polite with me." Fang Chengwen suddenly said these words as Jiang Zhiyi was about to get out of the car.
Although Jiang Zhiyi found his words a bit strange, she didn't ask any further questions and simply nodded.
"I understand. You can go now, be careful on your way, goodbye."
"Okay, goodbye." Fang Chengwen drove away.
Jiang Zhiyi carried her bag into the apartment building.
In the lobby downstairs, she ran into Aunt Zhang, who had just brought the quilts back from outside.
"Aunt Zhang," she greeted.
Aunt Zhang smiled at her and asked, "I saw Xiao Zhou carrying a suitcase out this morning. What was he going to do?"
"He's gone on a business trip. He's going to another province for a few days... Aunt Zhang, I'm going back now. I still have to collect the laundry. I think it's going to rain soon."
"Alright, go ahead."
Jiang Zhiyi quickly went upstairs.
She didn't like people asking about her family, so she quickly made up an excuse to brush it off.
Aunt Zhang is a kind-hearted person who is very good to her neighbors, but she has a big flaw: she is a bit of a chatterbox and always likes to talk about random things.
The apartment next to Jiang Zhiyi's was originally occupied by a single mother and her son.
The child's grades weren't very good, so the single mother hired several college student tutors to help her son with his studies.
Perhaps because the neighborhood is located in a somewhat remote area, making people feel unsafe, all those willing to attend classes here are male college students.
Aunt Zhang often saw young men coming to her house, and she would say things she shouldn't have. The story spread and became increasingly unpleasant.
After the single mother found out what had happened, she went directly to Aunt Zhang's house and had a big argument with her. The two even got into a physical fight, and the police had to come and mediate for a long time.
After that, the single mother moved out and handed the house over to an agent to help sell it.
It's just that the conditions in this neighborhood are not very good, so the houses have not been sold.
Jiang Zhiyi had talked about this with Zhou Zechuan before, and she had told Zhou Zechuan not to tell Aunt Zhang about their family's affairs, so as to avoid causing various troubles.
As for the house next door, it's actually fine for it to stay empty. If someone moves in, it will be much noisier.
Meanwhile, Aunt Zhang was still pondering what she had just witnessed.
She saw a man driving Jiang Zhiyi back. If she remembered correctly, it was the same man who drove her back last time.
Every time Zhou Zechuan was away from home or on a business trip, Jiang Zhiyi would be with that man, making it hard not to suspect something.
The couple usually seemed quite loving, and Zhou Zechuan appeared to be a very doting husband. It was unexpected that something like this would happen.
Aunt Zhang thought about it for a moment. Although she shouldn't meddle in these things, she had already seen it and couldn't hide it from her.
When Zhou Zechuan returns from his business trip, she will kindly remind him.
"Oh my, these young girls nowadays are really..."
