Chapter 150 She had already regretted it.
She always felt that Guo Zhenyi still cared about her, since she hadn't seen any other women around him all these years.
But now Zhou Shufen suddenly appears.
Not only did the name sound unfamiliar, but I also had no idea about its background.
What's even more frightening is that this woman has already caused a rift between her and her mother-in-law.
She panicked, feeling that her rightful place was being taken away little by little.
We can't wait any longer; if we don't act now, it will really be too late.
"Mom, you can't blame Zhengyi entirely for this. He's the kind of person who's always being fooled without even realizing it. Besides, he was the one who spearheaded that design competition, and he controlled all the resources. Maybe that woman was just after that, pretending to get close to him. Perhaps she didn't really like him at all, and was only after his position and connections."
Huang Chuanzhen nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
The more I listened, the more I felt that this former daughter-in-law was sensible and considerate.
In comparison, Zhou Shufen, who appeared out of nowhere, is simply not worth mentioning.
I should have stopped them from getting divorced.
She sighed and then chatted with Pan Yun for a long time.
Only after she finished speaking did she feel a little better.
After hanging up the phone, Pan Yun stood by the window for a long time without moving.
In fact, she had regretted it all these years.
I used to think that Guo Zhenyi was all alone, waiting for her to turn back.
That's why she hasn't taken any action yet, thinking that she will start again when the time is right.
But now I see that they already have someone to have dinner with.
Not only did he accompany him, but that person even helped him tie his apron, right?
That intimate posture—how could an outsider easily trespass upon such a distance?
All of this shows that he has accepted the existence of another person.
No, we must act immediately.
She gritted her teeth and booked a flight back to China that very day.
The next morning, she took the earliest flight back and went straight to Guo Zhenyi's house as soon as she got off the plane.
Throughout the journey, Guo Zhenyi's image kept replaying in my mind.
And the face of the woman named Zhou Shufen that Huang Chuanzhen mentioned.
She didn't know what the other person looked like.
But the thought that she might be sitting in the same spot she used to sit in made her heart ache.
At that time, Guo Zhenyi and Zhou Shufen were having breakfast at the dining table.
While picking up some food, Guo Zhenyi casually chatted about his work schedule for the day.
Hearing a knock at the door, he got up and went to the door.
He cooked this breakfast himself; he genuinely wanted to treat the person in front of him well.
Zhou Shufen originally wanted to ask him to take off his apron before opening the door, but he had already walked to the door.
She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she opened it again.
Guo Zhenyi's hand was already on the doorknob.
She had no choice but to follow.
She was afraid that if a colleague or acquaintance came, they might misunderstand what she was seeing.
As she reached out to untie the belt around his waist, her movement was caught in the act by the open door.
The door suddenly opened, leaving everyone inside and outside stunned.
No one expected someone to come in at this time.
Zhou Shufen's hand was still resting on the apron rope behind Guo Zhenyi's back.
Their bodies weren't far apart, so from an outsider's perspective, it looked like she was hugging him from behind.
Guo Zhenyi stood at the doorway, looking bewildered, his gaze fixed on the familiar figure outside.
Pan Yun happened to be standing at the door and saw the whole scene.
Her gaze first swept over Guo Zhenyi's apron-wearing figure, then fell on Zhou Shufen's hand, which was still resting on his waist.
The final image freezes on the near-hugging distance between the two.
Her face immediately darkened.
Guo Zhenyi's smile froze, and his gaze fixed on Pan Yun.
"Zhenyi, you..."
Pan Yun spoke.
However, before he could finish speaking, Guo Zhenyi suddenly raised his hand to stop him.
"Don't come any closer, leave the key behind."
"Don't come looking for me again."
He stood at the doorway, his back straight, with no intention of letting her step into the house.
Pan Yun felt a lump in her throat.
"Zhenyi, we were married, how can you be so heartless?"
"You've already got the divorce certificate, what are you pretending to be all lovey-dovey for?"
Guo Zhenyi coldly uttered those words.
"What are you now if not an outsider? Get out of here."
He was too lazy to argue and unwilling to offer any further explanation.
Pan Yun seemed not to understand, and paused for a moment.
Then he suddenly pointed to Zhou Shufen, who was standing next to Guo Zhenyi.
"She's the one who should get out! This house used to be our home!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shufen immediately frowned.
Being pointed at and insulted to her face immediately filled her with displeasure.
Pan Yun glared fiercely at Zhou Shufen.
Her gaze swept across the other person's face, finally settling on the hand that was still resting on Guo Zhenyi's waist.
Take your hand off!
Pan Yun took a step forward, wanting to rush up and forcibly pull Zhou Shufen away.
But Guo Zhenyi reacted faster and pulled Zhou Shufen into his arms.
Pan Yun's face turned pale as she stared blankly at Guo Zhenyi.
"You...you're going to stop me?"
"This is our home! The place you said you'd stay with us for the rest of your life!"
"Are you pushing me away for the sake of an outsider? How can you be so heartless?"
Her tears were welling up.
If it were in the past, this appearance would surely have softened people's hearts.
But Guo Zhenyi is completely unmoved.
Zhou Shufen didn't want to make a scene at the door, especially since it was someone she knew like Pan Yun.
"You're divorced."
"Stop bringing up the 'past,' you two have no relationship now."
These words showed absolutely no mercy.
Pan Yun's face immediately turned even uglier.
She felt that Zhou Shufen was deliberately humiliating her and emphasizing their breakup.
Stop trying to sow discord!
She gave a cold laugh.
"How can you break up my years-long relationship with Zhenyi with just a few words? Who do you think you are?"
Her tone grew increasingly aggressive.
"And didn't you notice that I can open the door with a key?"
She raised the key in her hand and shook it.
"What does this mean? It means he still cares about me! Otherwise, why wouldn't he have changed the locks?"
She stared intently at Guo Zhenyi.
"Who do you think you are? You're nothing but a homewrecker! What are you pretending to be the wife for?"
"Alright! Pan Yun, I have nothing to do with you anymore. Get out of here right now. If you don't leave, don't blame me for turning on you."
Guo Zhenyi's expression was gloomy, and his tone was heavier than ever before.
He never wanted to argue or quarrel with a woman.
But Pan Yun's actions today have crossed his bottom line.
Anyone can question or provoke you.
But no one can bully Zhou Shufen.
Seeing Guo Zhenyi protecting her like this, Zhou Shufen felt a warmth in her heart.
She patted the back of his hand twice.
This scene, witnessed by Pan Yun, caused her such heartache that she could hardly breathe.
She once thought she was the mistress of the house and an irreplaceable person in Guo Zhenyi's life.
But now, she has been completely replaced by a woman she never took seriously.
She glared at Zhou Shufen, then looked at Guo Zhenyi, as if she wanted to say something.
Just then, Zhou Shufen let out a cold laugh.
"The door lock hasn't been changed because we haven't been living here lately. What you said is pure nonsense. If we had known you were coming, Zhenyi would have changed the door itself, let alone the lock."
Upon hearing this, Guo Zhenyi immediately nodded in agreement.
