Zhou Zhengye was preoccupied with Wang Guixiang at work, unable to concentrate and unable to shake off his inner turmoil. He decided to arrange his work and then rode his bicycle to the pharmaceutical factory.
Han Yixian was processing some documents when Zhou Zhengye walked into his office. He put down the documents in his hand and asked in surprise, "Why are you here at this time?"
Zhou Zhengye let out a long sigh and sat down on the sofa, saying somewhat irritably, "I'm so annoyed right now, I can't concentrate on my work at all."
Han Yi got up first to pour Zhou Zhengye a glass of water, then sat down on the sofa and asked, "Did you two have a fight?"
Zhou Zhengye picked up his water glass, took a sip, and said, "Yesterday, as soon as I entered the house, Wang Guixiang checked everything like she was catching someone cheating, so I didn't say anything. When I got home last night, she was still sleeping in bed, and considering how tired she was from her journey, I didn't say anything either. I even bought her dinner from the cafeteria. But she complained for ages, saying the food wasn't good."
I wasn't expecting her to make me breakfast this morning. I usually eat at the cafeteria, and there's not much food at home. After I got up, I made some cornmeal porridge, some steamed buns I bought from the cafeteria yesterday, and some pickled vegetables I got from your house. That's a decent breakfast, but she complained that it was inedible, finding fault with this and that.
I told you this isn't Kyoto, nor is it her hometown; there aren't such good conditions here. This is already quite good.
She actually had the audacity to say that it was my duty to provide her with a good life. That meant she wouldn't eat this kind of food, but others had to eat well.
Zhou Zhengye became increasingly angry as he spoke, "I told her that my job doesn't pay much, and I still have to send her some money, so I don't have much left. She actually said that since I manage a factory, people must give me gifts, and that I must have extra income. She said that her family has to accept gifts when they do favors for others, and she said it as if it were perfectly normal."
"Yi Xian, don't you think this is terrible? This is a mistake. How can the Wang family possibly prosper like this? They're very successful now, but if things continue like this, trouble will inevitably follow sooner or later."
Han Yixian picked up his teacup, leaned back on the sofa, took a sip of water, and said, "There's a saying that makes a lot of sense: 'To destroy someone, first make them go mad.' With the Wang family's way of doing things, it was only a matter of time before they got into trouble. But what's the rush? Wouldn't it be better if the Wang family fell? Only when the Wang family is gone can you get rid of Wang Guixiang, right? If necessary, you can even give them a push."
Zhou Zhengye was taken aback by Han Yixian's words, but then it dawned on him—how could he have missed that?
Zhou Zhengye's irritability dissipated considerably. He raised his finger, pointed at Han Yixian, and laughed, "That's why people say you're a cunning fox, scheming to the death without any remorse."
You're right. Only when the Wang family falls can I get rid of Wang Guixiang. But now that she's in Qianyuan County, I can't let her stay here. Otherwise, given her personality and way of doing things, she'll cause me trouble sooner or later.
She is, after all, my wife in name only. What she did could very well be pinned on me, and then I'd have no way to explain myself.
Han Yixian looked up at Zhou Zhengye and said, "I heard that Wang Guixiang married you after much effort because she fell in love with you. Do you really have no feelings for her at all? If she liked you, maybe she would change for you?"
Zhou Zhengye said as if he had heard a joke, "How could that be? She values my family's background and my future. She just wants to continue living the same luxurious life as her family."
"Hmph, she thinks everyone's family is like hers. She has no bottom line, using her position to embezzle huge sums of money. Her thinking is flawed; how could she easily change for me? Besides, she doesn't listen to me anyway. She's incredibly arrogant."
Han Yixian frowned and said, "But have you thought about it? You're married after all. If you divorce her in the future, it will definitely have a big impact on you."
Hearing this, Zhou Zhengye said with a mixture of helplessness and bitterness, "One wrong step leads to another. I shouldn't have listened to my family's arrangements and married her. If I had paid more attention to my marriage back then, things wouldn't have come to this. I can only blame myself. I'm also unlucky to have met such a family and such a woman."
Compared to you, we're worlds apart.
He couldn't help but say, "If I had competed with you fairly back then, wouldn't I have had a 50% chance?"
When it comes to his wife, Han Yixian wouldn't back down. He immediately retorted, "You have no chance at all. Yuhan was originally the wife my aunt found for me. Yuhan knew this from the beginning. She also knew I had a leg disability, but she didn't look down on me. She was aiming to marry me from the start."
Besides, my leg healed later, so she wouldn't have any other thoughts. We were destined for each other.
Zhou Zhengye sighed and said, "Yes, Yuhan was devoted to you from the very beginning and took care of you in every possible way. She was so good to you and she was so outstanding herself, so it's no wonder you fell for her."
Han Yixian said, "Without Yuhan, I wouldn't be who I am today. Without Yuhan, I might still be a cripple living in seclusion in Luancheng, a walking corpse. Yuhan gave me a second life. In my heart, nothing in this world is more important than Yuhan."
Zhou Zhengye nodded, feeling envious of Han Yixian and He Yuhan's relationship, and said, "You two have been through so many hardships together. Yuhan has also sacrificed a lot for you. Your relationship is very strong. I wonder if I will ever meet someone like that in my life."
Han Yixian said, "If you really can't stand Wang Guixiang, then find an opportunity to divorce her. Open your eyes wide and find someone you like to live a good life with."
