Chapter 335 Extravagant Wife VS Scrap-Collecting Husband 29
Zhou Zechuan stared at her in disbelief, trying to see a hint of a joke on her face.
But there was nothing there.
Jiang Zhiyi looked very calm, not like she was saying something in anger, nor like she was joking.
She sat there quietly, coldly and cruelly uttering these hurtful words to him.
She knew what he cared about most, and she knew how to destroy it all.
"I don't believe it," Zhou Zechuan replied stubbornly. "I will never believe it."
He wanted to refute her, but he didn't know how, so he could only repeat the same sentence.
Perhaps even he himself knew that even if he found some excuse for her, it would only be a pitiful and powerless sophistry.
"Of course you can choose to continue deceiving yourself, whatever you want." Jiang Zhiyi wasn't going to argue with him and quickly left the ward.
Zhou Zechuan watched her retreating figure, but didn't have the courage to chase after her; he simply sat there.
What did he ask after him?
He feared that the more questions he asked, the greater the rift between them would become, so he dared not ask.
He had sensed her estrangement and dissatisfaction during this time. But he hadn't expected it to be because of financial reasons, but rather because of the intrusion of an outsider.
He suddenly remembered many things. His neighbor had told him that when he wasn't home, someone would often pick her up in a car... Yes, and that time, he even witnessed it with his own eyes, but at the time he stubbornly refused to believe it.
Now that she has admitted it herself, how can he possibly escape it?
Zhou Zechuan lowered his eyes, concealing all the sadness in them.
...
Since that day, Jiang Zhiyi has not been to the hospital again, and Zhou Zechuan seems to have vanished into thin air, never contacting her again.
Jiang Zhiyi sent Zhou Zechuan many messages, some of them quite rude, urging him to divorce her immediately, but she received no reply.
She couldn't get in touch with him at all.
The matter of their divorce was thus put on hold.
Jiang Zhiyi did not confront him directly.
Divorce is definitely something she needs to bring up, to let Zhou Zechuan know that her heart has changed, but she can't actually divorce him; there are many important things to do later.
Once Zhou Zechuan's business improves, she will continue to "harass" him, morally blackmail him, and greedily seize his assets...
Only when the two are completely estranged and living apart can everything truly come to an end.
...
One afternoon.
Zhou Zechuan went to a convenience store to buy water.
During this time, he had been avoiding Jiang Zhiyi. He didn't want a divorce, but he knew he couldn't outlast her, so the only thing he could do was avoid her.
Although this method is underhanded, it's the only idea he can use right now.
He thought he could stall for as long as possible.
His mind is in a mess right now, so he can only force himself not to think about those things and keep busy with work every day.
It's funny to think about it now. Before they broke up, when he desperately needed money, he was having a lot of bad luck. His business was always losing money, and he couldn't make much money every day.
Now he's not so eager to make money, but his business is getting better and better, even exceptionally good, as if he can just pick up money anywhere.
In this short period of time, he has already opened several branches in this area. Now, people are even coming to him wanting to discuss cooperation in opening a factory.
He was just working at the newly opened store.
Zhou Zechuan walked to the beverage shelf in the convenience store and casually picked up a few bottles.
Although it's very hot now, he didn't buy anything iced. He had just sweated so much, and he might not be able to handle drinking something iced all of a sudden.
He bought another pack of cheap cigarettes.
The shop owner skillfully handed him a cigarette and even gave him a lighter.
Zhou Zechuan has been coming over to buy cigarettes frequently these days.
When she was around, he would be more mindful and only smoke outside. Now that no one is watching him, he's feeling down and can't help but smoke more every day.
The shop owner glanced at him and inadvertently noticed his phone's lock screen wallpaper.
"Is this your wife?" the shop owner asked, pointing to the woman in the group photo on his phone screen.
Zhou Zechuan was taken aback.
Why is this person suddenly asking this?
He frowned subconsciously, but did not answer.
The shop owner chuckled. "She often comes over to ask me about your shop. She's the woman on your phone screen... I used to think you two didn't know each other at all..."
When the woman came to inquire, she made an excuse, saying she wanted to buy the scrap metal shop but didn't know how well business was doing each day. She knew she wouldn't get the truth from the shop owner directly, so she could only ask around the neighborhood…
Zhou Zechuan looked down at his phone. "She often asks me about things?"
The shop owner nodded and replied, "Yes, she's come to buy things from me a few times, and then she asks how business is at your shop? Do you get a lot of deliveries every day?"
“She is my wife,” Zhou Zechuan said.
The shop owner suddenly understood something when he saw his reaction.
He guessed that the couple must have had a fight, but neither was willing to back down, so they could only try to find out information behind each other's backs.
"Did you two have a fight?" the shop owner asked tentatively.
Zhou Zechuan sighed, "Pretty much."
The shop owner was a warm-hearted person. He felt that he had been through a lot and had a good relationship with his wife for decades, so he felt it was necessary to do something.
He couldn't help but advise, "Talk things out calmly. Every couple argues sometimes. Don't take it too far. If it doesn't work, give in and coax her. A real man should give in to his wife."
“Your wife comes to me every few days to ask about your shop. I can tell she cares about you…”
