Chapter 61 What's with the act of pretending to be a big shot?
Zhou Dajun gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and simply sat down with a thud.
His legs were spread apart, wedged tightly between the door frame.
He covered his head with his hands, curled up in a ball, and muttered something under his breath.
"Go ahead and hit me, I won't leave even if you kill me! This is my home! You have no right to kick me out!"
The suction cups repeatedly hit his back, shoulders, and thighs.
Although he was wincing in pain, he stubbornly remained seated.
"I'll tell you tomorrow, don't even dream about it! No matter what tricks you use, I'm not leaving today, I'm staying here, what can you do about it?"
Once a person's skin becomes thick enough, they become practically invulnerable.
Zhou Dajun is that kind of guy.
No matter how others persuaded, pressured, or threatened him, he remained rooted to the spot like a stone, unmoved.
Zhou Shufen slammed the object several times in a row, almost exhausting all her strength, her wrists aching and trembling.
She was breathing heavily, her chest heaving violently.
But Zhou Dajun still leaned against the door frame, a mocking smile on his lips.
"Fine, you think I can't handle you? Let's see if you'll leave!"
She was so angry that her head ached and her temples throbbed.
Her rationality snapped completely. She grabbed a suction cup from the wall and, without saying a word, slapped it directly at Zhou Dajun's face.
Caught off guard, Zhou Dajun covered his head with his hands and shrank back to hide.
But the suction cup still landed squarely on his forehead.
He screamed in pain, his voice sharp and piercing.
"Look at yourself now! Who would want you? Besides me, who could stand you? You're such a shrew, you're terrifying!"
"Why would I care if you even look at me?"
Zhou Shufen sneered, her eyes narrowing upwards with utter disdain and contempt.
"Who do you think you are? Do you think I want your money? Your personality? Your constant drinking and smashing of dishes at home? I'd rather live a poor life alone than put up with your spinelessness!"
Just then, Guo Zhenyi arrived at the stairwell.
He was already running errands nearby.
Upon receiving the call, I immediately dropped what I was doing and rushed over here.
Only ten minutes after the phone call ended, he had already rushed upstairs.
Zhou Shufen was completely enraged.
All I could hear was my own heavy breathing; I didn't hear a thing in the hallway.
At this moment, she held the suction cup high in one hand and pointed at Zhou Dajun's nose with the other.
His hair was disheveled, his cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were sharp.
That aura was enough to frighten away even ghosts and gods.
She was about to deliver a couple more blows and teach this ungrateful man a lesson.
Suddenly, she looked up and, through the dim hallway lights, her gaze met Guo Zhenyi's.
Their eyes met, and the air froze instantly.
Both of them were stunned.
Guo Zhenyi never expected to see such a fierce side of Zhou Shufen.
In his memory, she was always gentle and considerate, and spoke softly.
But what I'm seeing now...
She was brandishing the suction cups, her hair standing on end in a rage.
He suddenly realized that she was not the kind of weak and easily manipulated woman at all.
If anyone really bullies her, she's ready to fight back, tear off the mask of civility, and risk everything!
"Uh...you've arrived already?"
Zhou Shufen's mind raced, and although the anger on her face hadn't completely subsided, she realized that outsiders were present.
She awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth, trying to force a natural smile.
But his stiff expression only made him look more embarrassed.
In her haste, she quickly hid the suction cup behind her back, as if she had done something shameful.
"I rushed over as soon as I hung up the phone, and I barely stopped on the way," Guo Zhenyi said as he took a few steps closer.
He looked her up and down, his gaze sweeping carefully over her face, arms and shoulders.
Only after confirming that she was not injured did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"Are you alright? Did he lay a hand on you? If so, I'll call the police right now."
He sped all the way here, practically with the gas pedal pressed to the floor.
As soon as the car came to a stop, he shoved the car door open.
When going upstairs, he didn't care at all, taking three steps at a time and leaping over the five steps in one bound.
"It's nothing, no need for you to make the trip. It's just some trivial matter at home."
Zhou Shufen sighed, her voice low.
She didn't know where to begin, and just felt a tightness in her chest.
The words were on the tip of his tongue but he swallowed them back, as if a thousand thoughts were tangled together and he couldn't make sense of them.
The two had barely exchanged a few words when Zhou Dajun, who was sitting on the ground, started to get angry.
An unnamed rage surged from the soles of his feet to his head, burning his cheeks and making his ears ring.
Who does this man think he is?
What are you pretending to be, all high and mighty?
Just because you wear a suit, you think you're someone important?
Her hair was combed neatly and slicked back, without a single strand out of place.
They seem quite proper on the surface, but who knows how hypocritical they are behind the scenes?
He's definitely a hypocrite who's putting on airs!
Zhou Dajun cursed him in his heart, getting angrier the more he thought about it, and his fists clenched involuntarily.
He then forced himself to stand up, his legs feeling numb.
But he forced himself to stay still.
He walked slowly towards the other person, his steps heavy.
After standing still, he glared at Guo Zhenyi, his voice low and fierce.
"Listen, let me be clear, even if we get divorced, Shufen will still be my woman. You'd better stay away from her, or I won't be polite! I'm telling you this now, don't force me to take action."
Guo Zhenyi frowned, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Hearing this made me feel extremely uncomfortable, as if I had been publicly humiliated.
He immediately shook his head in rebuttal.
"Isn't that wrong? Now that you're divorced, Shufen is a single person. Who she wants to associate with and who she wants to be with is her own right, and no one can decide that for her. The way you're talking is that you're treating her like your private property? Treating her like an object that you can do whatever you want with? That kind of thinking is wrong in itself."
Zhou Dajun was stunned by these words, his head buzzing.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word, so he simply shook his head vigorously.
He gritted his teeth, his face flushed, and his voice suddenly rose.
"Stop giving me those high-sounding lectures! I'm not listening! If you don't want to suffer, behave yourself and stop pretending to be so high and mighty!"
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and shook his arms exaggeratedly.
Although the muscles in his arms are not very prominent, they are loose and flabby.
But he also tried to straighten his chest, tense his shoulders, and put on a fierce look.
To add to the momentum, he jumped twice on the spot, stomping his feet heavily on the ground.
They tried to scare Guo Zhenyi into backing down.
Guo Zhenyi lowered his head and smiled, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but there was no smile in his eyes, instead, a cold and stern look.
Without saying another word, he suddenly raised his hand and punched Zhou Dajun in the face.
The force of the punch created a gust of air, moving so fast that no one could react in time.
Zhou Dajun was completely unprepared. His pupils dilated suddenly, and he didn't even have time to raise his hand to block.
The sudden, heavy blow sent him staggering backward, and he crashed solidly into the door frame.
He slammed his head against something with a loud thud, the pain making his vision go black, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, and his mouth involuntarily agape.
