Chapter 219 Why pretend to be a victim?
"Every minute we wait increases the chances of things going wrong. I don't want anyone to have any more loopholes to exploit, and I don't want you to suffer any more injustices."
"You two! Holding hands and walking down the street in broad daylight? What kind of behavior is this!"
Pan Yun suddenly pounced on him.
Guo Yanlong blocked her way, looking her over with disdain.
"Oh my, that's hilarious!"
He gave a cold laugh.
"You've married six men and had three children abroad, changing your passport more often than your clothes, and now you're talking about propriety?"
After saying that, he stepped aside.
Let's go!
He shouted to Guo Zhenyi and Zhou Shufen.
"Ignore this kind of person! Let the public see what true feelings are and what fake high-mindedness is!"
Zhou Shufen straightened her back and generously took Guo Zhenyi's arm.
She never asked anyone for help or relied on anyone in her entire life.
Now, she is willing to hold this man's hand, not because she is lonely.
It was because she had already decided on him.
This feeling needs no explanation to anyone.
Pan Yun cursed loudly from behind.
"You vixen! You shameless woman who seduces a married man! You'll get your comeuppance sooner or later! I'll sue you to death! I'll ruin your reputation!"
Guo Zhenyi suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He slowly turned around and stared intently at Pan Yun.
"If you insist on forcing me to turn against you, then let's tear off all pretenses. Our marriage was arranged by our parents; I've never loved you. In these seven years, have you ever truly cared for me even for a single day?"
"You came back for me? It's for money! For a residency permit! You don't care about me at all, you only care about yourself!"
"Love... what love! Isn't it all just about living life?"
Pan Yun felt guilty under his gaze.
She lowered her head, clutching the hem of her dress, not daring to look him in the eye.
Guo Zhenyi took a deep breath.
The pent-up frustration that had been building up in his chest for years suddenly erupted.
"Do you really think you've had a single day of peace and quiet? You've been married to me for three years, a full nine hundred days. How many days have you actually spent with me?"
“From the day you entered this family, you’ve been staying at your parents’ house and refusing to come back. You think I’m poor and unsophisticated. You treat me like a piece of rag, something you can throw around or step on as you please.”
"But after I finally made a name for myself by risking my life on the battlefield, what did you do? Before the news even spread, you took the title of 'Guo Zhenyi's wife' and ran off to Ya Country without looking back!"
"Your eldest son has yellow skin and black hair, and looks like someone from our country. But who doesn't know that the child isn't mine at all! He's a bastard you had with a student from our country in Ya Country!"
"You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever. I've already found out everything."
"As for your second son, he was the child of your third husband. At that time, you thought that as long as you gave him a son, that man would settle down and treat you as his legal wife."
"And what happened? They still found you annoying, and eventually dumped you without looking back."
"You had two children and no one to rely on, so you went around clinging to men like a madwoman. You kept getting married, the fourth, the fifth, one after another. You didn't find it tiring or shameful."
"But you know in your heart that you have never really been treated as a wife by anyone. You are just a novelty for others."
“Your daughter is the child of your fifth man. You don’t even know who the father is, you only remember that he gave you an apartment and some money.”
"You think I don't know anything about all the dirty things you've done abroad?"
Zhou Shufen was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
In front of her, Guo Zhenyi was always a man of forbearance and concession.
She thought he had already let go of the past.
But these words today made her heart tremble.
"You...you sent people to investigate me?!"
Pan Yun's face turned deathly pale instantly.
She stared wide-eyed at Guo Zhenyi in disbelief.
Is this still the same man she remembers who was submissive and easily manipulated?
Guo Zhenyi's gaze pierced straight at Pan Yun.
"If you don't cause trouble, we'll live our lives like strangers. I can pretend you don't exist, and you can pretend I'm dead."
"But if you step on me, you'd better be prepared to get revenge."
He shook the canvas bag in his hand, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
“I remember everything you’ve done over the past twenty years. Why don’t you open it up and show it to yourself now?”
A gust of wind suddenly blew by, opening the canvas bag.
A stack of yellowed documents was visible beneath the half-open bag.
There are images of Pan Yun meeting secretly with strangers outside the Yaguo embassy.
There are records of her transactions in her bank account.
There are also rental contracts showing that she lived with different men.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot to tell you, your every move was being closely watched back in Ya Country. As soon as you come back, you're definitely going to be arrested."
"What you did back then wasn't just an ordinary extramarital affair!"
"You secretly slipped intelligence about our troop movements into your third husband's bag and had him take it back to Ya! You think nobody knows? A traitor like you dares to yell at me?"
"You've thrown away all basic human decency, and you still dare to stand here, pretending to be a victim?"
Guo Zhenyi had never shown such a cold side to Zhou Shufen before.
She stood there, stunned, her fingers trembling slightly.
Pan Yun's smug expression suddenly cracked.
My legs went weak and I almost collapsed on the spot.
She hurriedly reached out and grabbed her son's arm tightly.
"You...you're talking nonsense!"
She almost screamed in protest.
"At that time... I was just chatting with that friend about everyday things! Really... just chatting!"
"Ordinary food?"
Guo Zhenyi scoffed.
"In the autumn of 1963, you sneaked into the factory area under the pretense of visiting your classmates and drew pictures in your rented room for three consecutive days."
"You personally drew up a distribution map, precisely marking the locations of the factory areas and warehouses, and then sent it out through the post office disguised as artwork. Should I have someone bring out the files and read them to you page by page?"
He took a step closer.
"I spared you back then because of the long-standing friendship between our two families. You think that's forgiveness?"
Pan Yun swayed, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes went out.
She suddenly rushed forward like a madwoman.
Before they could get close, they were restrained by the police officers who were standing by.
Qi Changyu stood a few steps away, watching this scene with a complex expression.
"It wasn't me!"
She screamed hysterically.
"Guo Zhenyi! Listen to me! We were husband and wife! We shared a bed for three years! Please save me! I beg you... I'll leave right now!"
Guo Zhenyi didn't even blink.
He paused for a moment, then pulled out a stack of papers from the brown paper bag he carried with him.
With a flick of his wrist, the stack of papers fluttered down onto the snow.
"These were written by you in Ya Kingdom. Every page has your signature."
The cold wind whipped up the pages, making a rustling sound.
Pan Yun stared intently at the words, his pupils contracting sharply.
All her strength vanished instantly, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"It's all over...everything is over..."
The three children were terrified and huddled together on the steps.
They don't understand Chinese and can't understand what the adults are saying.
But just looking at Mom's distorted face, you can tell...
The sky has fallen.
