After work that day, Zhou Zhengye took the information he had gathered and went to the Han family's house.
Han Yixian had also finished get off work. He had received a call from Zhou Zhengye while he was at work, informing him that Zhou was coming to his house and asking his family to prepare extra food.
Han Yixian also knew that Zhou Zhengye had been leaving early and returning late lately, and he didn't get to eat anything decent at work, so he asked his family to cook something better.
He Yuhan also felt sorry for Zhou Zhengye. Wang Guixiang was now stuck with him and he couldn't shake her off.
She heard Han Yixian say that Zhou Zhengye and Wang Guixiang had always slept in separate rooms, so that even if Wang Guixiang never got pregnant, no one would suspect that she was infertile.
She couldn't just tell Zhou Zhengye that Wang Guixiang had health problems without reason. She was afraid of arousing suspicion.
But He Yuhan couldn't bear to let Zhou Zhengye continue like this. Now she could only take it one step at a time.
Perhaps she could find an opportunity to get in touch with Wang Guixiang. If she could establish a connection with Wang Guixiang, she would have an excuse to reveal to Zhou Zhengye that Wang Guixiang was infertile. Moreover, fearing something might go wrong in this life, she wanted to personally check Wang Guixiang's insurance.
Han Yixian took the stack of documents Zhou Zhengye brought. The two went to the study to discuss business.
Han Yixian handed Zhou Zhengye the information he had gathered, asking him to take a look. Zhou Zhengye then began to read through the information page by page.
Neither of them spoke, carefully examining the information they had gathered.
Looking at the information in their hands, and combining it with what they had investigated, the two people discovered that some of the people who had been hiding behind the scenes were now exposed.
They quickly finished reviewing the documents and exchanged a glance.
Han Yixian said, "We've already hidden here, but some people still won't let us go. The Han family has already given away all its wealth, why don't these people believe it?"
Zhou Zhengye said, "Haven't you heard people say that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse? Even if the Han family has given away all their wealth, some people will still covet the power they still hold."
Although Uncle Han has retired and his overt influence has diminished considerably, what about the covert ones? The relationships the Han family has cultivated over so many years won't simply disappear just because of his retirement.
Besides, you've taken over the Han family. How could anyone believe you don't have power? That's why they all have their eyes on you.
The information they've compiled about Chen Shulan is the woman involved in your previous scandal. She's clearly after you. She had already started looking for opportunities to get close to you, but Liu Jiaxin ruined everything.
She's afraid you'll suspect her and won't dare approach you again for the time being, so she came up with this idea to damage Yuhan's reputation. She's trying to drive a wedge between you two before trying to get close to you again.
She even dragged the Wang family into this, hoping to use them to fight against you and weaken the Han family's power. She's killing two birds with one stone. That woman is wicked. They say the most poisonous heart is a woman's.”
Han Yixian snorted and said, "When did I have any rumors with her? That's just Liu Jiaxin making things up."
Zhou Zhengye scoffed and said, "What about Liu Jiaxin? She's practically made it clear she likes you. Why are you keeping someone like that at the pharmaceutical factory? What are you thinking?"
Han Yi glared at Zhou Zhengye and said, "Can't you speak seriously?"
Zhou Zhengye shrugged and said, "I'm talking to you seriously."
Han Yixian said somewhat helplessly, "Liu Jiaxin is Liu Yongnian's daughter. If I fire Liu Jiaxin, where will Liu Yongnian's face be? Besides, Liu Jiaxin didn't do anything wrong. She's also Yuhan's cousin, so we're all relatives. It's not good to make things too awkward."
Zhou Zhengye thought about it and realized that the Liu family and the He family were related, which made things difficult.
Zhou Zhengye said, "Let's leave Liu Jiaxin aside for now. What do you plan to do about Chen Shulan? Let me make this clear: if you don't deal with her, I'll take action. She dared to scheme against me, so I will absolutely not let this go."
What's more, Chen Shulan even slandered him, accusing him of having an affair with He Yuhan, which is truly unforgivable.
Han Yi glanced at Zhou Zhengye, and he roughly understood Zhou Zhengye's thoughts. But of course, he had to protect his own wife.
He immediately said, "Of course I won't let her get away with this. Since she enjoys slandering others so much, let her taste the bitterness of it too. It will be difficult for her to find a good family again in the future. Once she's no longer of any use, the Chen family probably won't treat her so well anymore."
Zhou Zhengye said, "Since you have already made arrangements, I will not interfere without permission, so as not to ruin your plans."
Han Yixian then asked, "Are you just going to keep ignoring Wang Guixiang and sleeping in separate rooms from her? You can forget about having a son if you keep doing this."
Zhou Zhengye snorted and said, "If it's Wang Guixiang's child, I'd rather not have it."
Han Yixian advised, "Don't take it too seriously. Since you've already married her, try to get along with her. Wang Guixiang married you because she likes you. Maybe she'll change for you?"
Zhou Zhengye said, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature'? Even if she changes, she won't be any better. I really don't want to be around her; it's torture."
Maybe one day she won't be able to stand this kind of life anymore and will file for divorce herself.
Han Yixian shook his head and said, "Do you think that's possible? She finally managed to get a talented young man like you, how could she give up so easily?"
Besides, the Wang family wouldn't agree. The Wang family is like a nouveau riche; they need to form alliances with established families through marriage to increase their leverage, which is why they approached your family. You're now stuck on a sinking ship.
Zhou Zhengye sighed in frustration and said, "Let's just take it one step at a time."
The two were still chatting when Liu Gang came to call them to dinner.
The two temporarily stopped their conversation and left the study to have dinner in the living room.
Wen Jinyu served Zhou Zhengye a bowl of rice and said, "Zhengye, you've lost weight recently. I made you something special today, so you should eat more."
Zhou Zhengye took the bowl of rice and said, "Thank you, Aunt Wen. Don't worry, I'll definitely eat a lot. I've been craving your food lately."
Wen Jinyu piled a lot of food onto Zhou Zhengye's plate and said, "Come to our house for meals often from now on, and I'll help you nourish your body. Is your wife still not cooking for you?"
Zhou Zhengye said with a wry smile, "With her cooking skills, I wouldn't dare to eat it even if she made it. I'm afraid I'd end up in the hospital if I ate it."
Everyone at the table laughed when Zhou Zhengye said this. But they also felt quite sorry for him.
This isn't just marrying a wife, it's practically bringing home an ancestor!
Gu Qishen said, "That depends on how you train her. You'll only have a happy life if you train her well. Otherwise, you'll have to serve her every day when you get home. If the two of you have a good relationship, it doesn't matter. Otherwise, you might as well be alone."
"Given the Wang family's current influence, a divorce is impossible. You should think about how to discipline Wang Guixiang. Otherwise, things can't continue like this."
Wen Jinyu nodded and said, "Yes, you are husband and wife after all. Since things have come to this, it's best to think positively."
Zhou Zhengye felt bitter as he faced everyone's advice; it seemed no one wanted him to get a divorce.
