The man couldn't help but mutter that Zhou Zhengye had only been back in the county town from Beili Village for a few days when someone informed him that someone was looking for him at the factory gate.
He assumed they were from Beili Village, because the Han family often sent people to the county town to deliver things to him and He Zhenhua.
When he arrived at the factory gate, he saw Wang Guixiang and immediately wanted to leave, not wanting to see her anymore.
But Wang Guixiang had already seen Zhou Zhengye and immediately ran up to him, shouting, "Zhengye, don't go!"
Wang Guixiang shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the old gatekeeper who looked at them with curiosity.
Zhou Zhengye understood Wang Guixiang's personality; if he didn't make her give up, she would come back and cause trouble again if he didn't see her today.
Zhou Zhengye turned around, frowned, and said, "What do you want from me? Don't forget, we're already divorced."
With tears in her eyes, Wang Guixiang said, "I was ignorant before, I was wrong, please forgive me, I promise I will live a good life with you from now on."
The reason Wang Guixiang was so humble in apologizing to Zhou Zhengye was because the setbacks she had recently experienced had made her realize her predicament. She was no longer the glamorous eldest daughter of the Wang family; the Wang family had fallen, and she had become a stray dog that anyone could bully.
The only way for her to change her current situation is to gain Zhou Zhengye's forgiveness and return to the Zhou family.
She can't be the eldest daughter of the Wang family, but at least she can be the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family.
Zhou Zhengye is the future heir of the Zhou family, and she will be the future matriarch of the Zhou family.
She had a good plan, but little did she know that Zhou Zhengye was already married.
Wang Guixiang spoke quite loudly, and several passersby heard her.
Almost everyone in the factory knew about Wang Guixiang's forced divorce of Zhou Zhengye, and they all despised Wang Guixiang.
Wang Guixiang actually has the nerve to ask Zhou Zhengye for forgiveness now, she's shameless! Director Zhou has already remarried, how could he possibly remarry her?
A woman who always stood up for justice couldn't stand it anymore and immediately stepped forward and said, "Hey, you, you had an affair while you were married, forced our factory manager to divorce you, and now you regret it and come begging for forgiveness. Have you no shame?"
When Wang Guixiang saw this unrelated old woman bullying her, she immediately cursed back, "Who are you? What business is it of yours? Mind your own business."
When the older woman saw this adulterer acting so arrogantly, she immediately glared at him and said, "Oh ho, you're quite arrogant. Adulterers like you should be arrested and criticized, so you won't go out and harm people again."
Wang Guixiang was frightened when she heard that she was going to be arrested and criticized, as she had been criticized and criticized many times in Beijing. This time, she had sacrificed one of her valuable possessions to ask for help and obtain a letter of introduction to sneak away to Qianyuan County.
If she gets arrested, she'll definitely be sent back to Kyoto to continue her labor camp. She doesn't want to go back to that kind of life where she has to clean toilets every day, it's dirty, tiring, and she doesn't even have enough to eat.
Seeing Wang Guixiang's reaction, Zhou Zhengye concluded that she must not have come to Qianyuan County through legitimate means, and immediately said, "I don't know how you got here either. But I can't possibly agree to your request. I've already remarried, and it's impossible for me to remarry you."
When Wang Guixiang heard that Zhou Zhengye had remarried, her hopes of returning to the Zhou family were dashed, and she felt that her future was bleak.
With red eyes, she shouted hysterically, "Did you know back then that our Wang family was going to fail and couldn't support you anymore, so you divorced me?"
Zhou Zhengye snorted and said, "If I wanted to use the Wang family's power in the first place, I wouldn't have asked to come here to help with the construction. Just because you have ulterior motives doesn't mean you can assume everyone else is like you. You were so determined when you came to me for a divorce, didn't you already find someone else? Why didn't you go to him? Why did you come back to me?"
This isn't a shelter; you can't just come back whenever you want.
Wang Guixiang felt utterly desperate when she thought of Chu Feiyang, who had disappeared without a trace. She had ultimately given her heart to the wrong person.
Zhou Zhengye felt no sympathy for Wang Guixiang, whose face showed despair. As the saying goes, the blisters on your feet are caused by your own actions, and she had only herself to blame for her current predicament.
Zhou Zhengye turned around and thanked the woman, then said to the old man guarding the gate, "She has nothing to do with me. Don't call me again if she comes again."
The old man had, of course, heard about Wang Guixiang forcing Zhou Zhengye to divorce, and when he heard that the woman at the door was Wang Guixiang, he glared at her coldly.
Zhou Zhengye looked at Wang Guixiang and said, "You should be undergoing re-education through labor right now. Running away like this is a mistake. I won't call Kyoto. You'd better take care of yourself."
Zhou Zhengye's words were also a warning to Wang Guixiang: if she caused any more trouble, she would be arrested and her situation would be even worse than before.
Seeing that there was no way to salvage the situation, Wang Guixiang's face hardened as she said, "Do you really not care about our past relationship at all?"
Among the people gathered around, one of the female factory workers couldn't stand it anymore. "How can you be so shameless? You had an affair and insisted on divorcing our factory manager. Now that you're down on your luck, you want to come back? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
Our factory manager is already married, that's common knowledge. You've missed your chance, so get out of here. Otherwise, we'll call and have you arrested, you adulterer.
When Wang Guixiang saw the malicious looks directed at her from the people around her, she became frightened. She knew that Zhou Zhengye was not someone she could control, and she wouldn't have come to beg for reconciliation if she hadn't been truly desperate.
Now that Zhou Zhengye has remarried, there's no way she can go back to the Zhou family, and it's no use begging Zhou Zhengye anymore.
She felt that Zhou Zhengye's quick divorce must have come from knowing that the Wang family was in trouble. She considered him a sycophantic and opportunistic scoundrel. If she ever gained power, she would never let him get away with it.
Amidst the crowd's condemnation, Wang Guixiang slunk away. Zhou Zhengye didn't care where she ended up.
He was glad he hadn't taken Wang Guixiang to the courtyard, otherwise her visit might have caused some unnecessary trouble.
With Wen Xiuyun's gentle and weak nature, she would definitely suffer a loss against Wang Guixiang.
Zhou Zhengye thanked the older women who had spoken up for him, saying, "Thank you so much, ladies. You got me out of that predicament today; otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do."
A woman surnamed Liu said, "Factory manager, you're too soft-hearted. You can't see her anymore. You've remarried. If you keep seeing your ex-wife, your current wife will get angry, and that will affect family harmony."
She has the air of a caring older sister.
Zhou Zhengye quickly and humbly replied, "Yes, yes, Sister Liu is right. I will definitely pay attention in the future."
