Neither Zhou Zhengye nor Wang Guixiang would compromise, and they ended up parting on bad terms. That night, the couple slept in separate rooms.
When Han Yixian returned home, he also told He Yuhan about Zhou Zhengye and his wife.
He Yuhan had met Wang Guixiang in her past life. After she left in her past life, Wang Guixiang married Zhou Zhengye. Later, after returning to China, she heard that Zhou Zhengye and Wang Guixiang had never had children because Wang Guixiang was infertile. This was something she only discovered later.
It is said that Zhou Zhengye and Wang Guixiang's relationship had always been tense. At first, no one thought about it because they didn't have children. It was only after Wang Guixiang fell ill that the problem was discovered.
Knowing she couldn't have children, Wang Guixiang clung to Zhou Zhengye even more, frequently threatening suicide. For some reason, even though the Wang family had long since fallen on hard times, Zhou Zhengye never divorced Wang Guixiang.
Although the two had been separated for a long time, they still maintained their marital relationship.
Although she had long since let go of Zhou Zhengye, she didn't want him to be childless. Besides, Wang Guixiang wasn't a kind person, and the Wang family was despicable and shameless. It would be best for Zhou Zhengye to break away from them as soon as possible.
He Yuhan thought for a moment and said, "Wang Guixiang is not suitable for Zhou Zhengye. Also, it's best to stay away from the Wang family. Otherwise, you might get dragged into it at any time."
Han Yixian said, "The Zhou family thought that marrying into the Wang family would make things easier for them in the capital, but little did they know that they might end up losing more than they gain. The problem is that they are now entangled with the Wang family and can't shake them off even if they want to."
Moreover, the Wang family is currently in power, so even if the Zhou family knows Wang Guixiang's true colors, they won't dare to do anything. They can only suffer in silence.
Zheng Ye is now focused on getting her back to Kyoto and doesn't want her causing trouble here.
Han Yixian then explained the plan he and Zhou Zhengye had discussed.
He Yuhan laughed and said, "You guys are really wicked. This is cutting off her lifeline. In a few days, Wang Guixiang will run out of money, and Zhou Zhengye won't give her any more. I guess she won't be able to hold on."
Han Yixian said, "It's precisely so that she will take the initiative to suggest returning to the capital, so that even if the Wang family has objections, things won't get too tense. Besides, Zheng Ye isn't ignoring her; he's just letting her live the same life as everyone else. The Wang family can't really say anything about it."
He Yuhan felt some sympathy for Wang Guixiang. Although Han Yixian hadn't said it explicitly, it was clear that he and Zhou Zhengye had conspired against Wang Guixiang, and her troubles were probably still to come.
However, she didn't have the extra energy to care about others. She focused on taking care of her pregnancy and doing some work within her capabilities.
Wang Guixiang and Zhou Zhengye fell into a cold war, ignoring each other completely.
During the day, Zhou Zhengye goes to work, while Wang Guixiang stays at home by herself.
That day, Wang Guixiang stayed at home. She went to the state-run restaurant for lunch and then returned home. After entering the house, she found a letter on the ground in front of the door.
She picked up the letter and realized it was addressed to her. She opened it, read its contents, and was horrified.
The letter surprisingly stated that Zhou Zhengye had a woman he liked in Qianyuan County, and that this woman was gentle and beautiful, whom Zhou Zhengye adored. The letter even provided the woman's address.
Wang Guixiang found the letter very strange; she didn't know whether to believe its contents. But she was also very curious whether the woman mentioned in the letter truly existed. What if what the letter said was true?
Wang Guixiang was torn, but the thought that Zhou Zhengye might really like someone else, which was why he treated her so badly, filled her with anger.
She then remembered what she had heard in Kyoto and decided to go to the address given in the letter.
Wang Guixiang quickly tidied herself up, put on her best clothes, and went out looking beautiful.
She asked around and eventually found the address in the letter. She discovered that it was a hutong (alleyway) filled with small courtyards.
She arrived at the gate of the courtyard she was looking for and saw that the gate was closed. From inside the courtyard, she could hear the laughter of several children and the voices of adults.
Wang Guixiang listened to the lively scene in the courtyard from outside the door and hesitated. Was there really a beautiful woman here, as described in the letter?
Suddenly, she heard Zhou Zhengye's voice. Zhou Zhengye was here! She thought about the contents of the letter—could it be that Zhou Zhengye really had another family outside?
She was furious and raised her hand to bang on the courtyard gate.
Wen Jinyu was watching the children play in the yard when she heard someone knocking on the door. She went to the door and opened it.
She saw an unfamiliar young woman standing at the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
When Wang Guixiang saw that an elderly woman had opened the door, she said angrily, "I'm looking for Zhou Zhengye. Isn't he right here?"
Today, Zhou Zhengye came to talk to He Yuhan about a problem they encountered in the production of a product at the factory. Then he played games with Gu Huayang and his children in the yard.
He was startled when he suddenly heard Wang Guixiang's voice coming from the courtyard gate, wondering how she had found him. In Zhou Zhengye's mind, Wang Guixiang was definitely there to cause trouble.
He Yuhan was pregnant, and he couldn't let Wang Guixiang hurt her.
He quickly walked to the courtyard gate and saw Wang Guixiang standing there with a gloomy face. She said, "What are you doing here?"
Seeing Zhou Zhengye's attitude, Wang Guixiang angrily retorted, "If you can come here, why can't I? Or are you hiding something and afraid I'll come here and discover your shameful deeds?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhengye angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Go home right now and stop causing a scene here."
As he spoke, Zhou Zhengye reached out to pull Wang Guixiang away.
Upon seeing Zhou Zhengye's actions, Wang Guixiang quickly dodged and scolded, "What, are you angry because you're ashamed? You're in such a hurry for me to leave because you're afraid I'll expose your shameful deeds, aren't you? You already have another family outside, what do I have to hold back? You have to explain yourself to me today."
He Yuhan came to the gate after hearing the arguing at the entrance.
Wang Guixiang's eyes widened when she saw He Yuhan; there really was a beautiful woman there. No wonder Zhou Zhengye hadn't given her a friendly look; it turned out he had a lover.
She suddenly saw the slightly protruding belly of the beautiful woman in front of her, and the string in her mind snapped. She thought that Zhou Zhengye had a child with someone else.
She pointed at He Yuhan and yelled, "You still say I'm talking nonsense? You and this woman even have a child. Are you already planning to divorce me? Let me tell you, Zhou Zhengye, don't even think about getting rid of me and marrying this woman."
Zhou Zhengye found Wang Guixiang's words utterly offensive and slapped her across the face, leaving her stunned for a moment.
Wang Guixiang, clutching her aching and numb cheek, stared wide-eyed in disbelief and said, "You actually dared to hit me?"
With a cold glint in his eyes, Zhou Zhengye said angrily, "This is someone else's home, not a place for you to run wild. Come home with me right now."
