Chapter 336 Extravagant Wife VS Scrap-Collecting Husband 30
Hearing the shop owner's words, Zhou Zechuan felt a small surge of joy.
He hadn't expected that she was still secretly concerned about him.
If she hasn't actually changed at all, if what she said that day was just a momentary outburst... then doesn't that mean there might still be a chance for their relationship to turn around, maybe he can still find a way to salvage it, maybe they can go back to how they were before...?
Things haven't gotten out of control yet. She filed for divorce, but they're not divorced yet, are they?
They are still registered as one person.
With her stubborn and domineering nature, if she is really determined to get a divorce, she will find him no matter where he hides.
However, her attitude during this period has been very puzzling. She always makes a lot of noise but does little. Although she often sends him messages to scold him and urge him, she has never caused him any trouble in person.
Zhou Zechuan suddenly realized that he had figured out many things—she had suffered too many grievances, so she was trying to escape.
But in her heart, deep down, she was actually reluctant to part with him.
She didn't really want a divorce; she just wanted to use this incident to vent her grievances and negative emotions, or perhaps to motivate him to work harder...
Zhou Zechuan knew very well that if he wanted to salvage their relationship, the prerequisite was that they would no longer argue about financial issues in the future.
He needs to earn more money, the more the better.
"Boss, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with... If she comes again in the future, could you please let me know?"
“Sure, no problem, let’s exchange contact information…” The shop owner readily agreed. Anyway, he didn’t have much to do in the shop every day, so he figured it would be quite entertaining to read about the gossip between young couples.
"Okay, thank you for your help." Zhou Zechuan bought quite a few more things at the store, and then left the convenience store carrying his shopping bags.
As Zhou Zechuan walked along the road, he was in a good mood. He even felt that the sun was not so hot anymore and the wind was cool and pleasant.
Suddenly, he remembered something else: her birthday was in a few days.
They used to celebrate together; he would prepare surprises for her, including lots of gifts she liked, flowers, and cakes…
Even though they've had a temporary falling out, he still has to prepare carefully for her birthday and definitely can't ignore it.
...
A few days later.
Today is Saturday, which happens to be Jiang Zhiyi's birthday.
She ordered several dishes from the restaurant to be delivered to her home, bought some of her favorite snacks, and then went to buy a cute cartoon-shaped ice cream cake.
She was too lazy to go through all that trouble, and she wasn't planning on celebrating with friends; she just wanted to celebrate at home by herself.
"Ding-dong—" Someone rang the doorbell.
When Jiang Zhiyi opened the door, she saw two people, both of whom were local deliverymen.
One of them was holding roses and a cake, while the other was carrying a large box that looked like it was filled with many things.
"Please sign for this package..."
Jiang Zhiyi guessed that it might be a gift from Zhou Zechuan, since she had already received gifts from her other friends.
She wanted to refuse, but the deliveryman said that if she didn't accept the package, they couldn't leave and would be fined.
Looking at the two people in front of her, drenched in sweat, Jiang Zhiyi didn't want to make things difficult for them. Delivering goods in this heat was tough for everyone, and there was no need for her and Zhou Zechuan's affairs to affect strangers.
She accepted all of those things.
However, she couldn't delay what she had to do. She accepted the gift only because she saw how hard the deliveryman was working, but that didn't mean she accepted Zhou Zechuan's advances.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Zhiyi decided to make a voice call to Zhou Zechuan.
She then propped her phone up on the coffee table next to her and sat on the floor to start unwrapping the gifts.
The call was connected very quickly.
"Hello?" Zhou Zechuan's voice came through, carrying a hint of probing and surprise.
"Did you send those things?" Jiang Zhiyi picked up the gifts from the box and began to look at them.
Necklaces, earrings, bracelets, limited edition designer bags, dresses, rare dolls...
She frowned.
Damn it, these are all things she likes!
Jiang Zhiyi started cursing, pretending to be angry.
"You have time to buy all this useless stuff, but no time to get a divorce? Zhou Zechuan, are you out of your mind?"
She put on her earrings and necklace in front of the mirror, and then tried on the delicate bracelet.
The diamond is so big and sparkly, it's really beautiful.
Zhou Zechuan remained silent.
Jiang Zhiyi continued to berate him: "What? You've struck it rich lately, made a lot of money picking up trash? Let me tell you, don't send me these things anymore. I don't need them at all. You know that's harassment?"
She took the bag out to look at it.
This bag is hard to get, and it goes perfectly with her outfit. She'd wanted it for a long time, but hadn't bought it yet.
She couldn't resist trying to recite it.
“I’m warning you, I don’t want to see anything related to you again. You really disgust me. I made it very clear that day, so don’t push your luck…”
She belittled everything he gave her over the phone, calling it worthless.
But at the same time, she tried everything on carefully, and she liked them all.
After a while, Jiang Zhi saw that Zhou Zechuan on the other end of the phone had not replied, and thinking that he had probably achieved his goal, he prepared to hang up.
Just as she reached for her phone, which was propped up on the coffee table, she saw Zhou Zechuan's face appear on the screen.
Huh? What?
Why is his face showing up on her phone now?
What's going on?
Something's not right... Jiang Zhiyi suddenly realized something.
Video call?
Was she just making a video call?
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Zechuan's eyes were still fixed on her without blinking.
His gaze was both eager and cautious.
Jiang Zhiyi stood there motionless for a long time. Unlike her blank expression, her heart was like a kettle that had exploded.
At that moment, she felt as if the sky had fallen.
