Zhou Qing had felt something was not right before, but Shen Liang had always used work pressure and lack of energy as an excuse.
But now thinking carefully about what Xia Zhichu said, Zhou Qing felt more and more that something was wrong.
When Shen Liang heard this, he suddenly jumped up from the bed. Because the arc of his movement was too large, his private parts trembled several times.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but show a look of contempt in his eyes.
Why didn’t I realize that Shen Liang was so weak before? Now I see that he is not so capable.
Seeing Zhou Qing staring at him, Shen Liang's pride was severely damaged. He quickly pulled the quilt over his body and said angrily, "Qingqing, don't listen to Xia Zhichu's gossip. That woman has always been jealous of us and must be trying to sow discord between us behind our backs."
Zhou Qingcai didn't think so. Last time when they were dancing in the bar, Xia Zhichu's expression was not a joke. She was just too angry at the time and didn't take her words to heart.
But until now, after experiencing all of Chen Liang's shortcomings tonight, Zhou Qing began to doubt the truthfulness of Xia Zhichu's words.
"Okay, I'll believe you for now, but we'll go to the hospital for a checkup later. I want to make sure you're normal before I marry you."
Zhou Qing is a playful person. She cannot accept that her man is not good in that aspect. She wants to check the situation before getting married to avoid sexual unhappiness in the future marriage.
Shen Liang was a little panicked. If he went to the hospital for a check-up, his physical condition would be exposed.
So he pretended to be busy and coaxed her in a gentle voice, "Qingqing, please go in a few days. My work has just stabilized recently. I asked for leave this morning, but I really have to go to work this afternoon, otherwise it will affect my performance."
Seeing him using work as an excuse again, Zhou Qing instantly became dissatisfied and started to act like a spoiled brat. "Or we can go to the hospital and break up."
Upon hearing about the breakup, Shen Liang immediately became anxious and quickly hugged her and bombarded her with all kinds of sweet words. However, Zhou Qing was very determined this time and said, "Do you want to get married or work? It's up to you."
She got out of bed angrily, put on her clothes, grabbed her bag and was about to leave.
Chen Liang was worried that the marriage would be ruined if he left, so he wrapped himself in a bed sheet and chased after her, "Okay, okay, wait for me, let's go to the hospital."
Zhou Qing was willing to give up only after seeing him compromise.
While waiting, she took out her phone to watch videos, but unexpectedly saw the report about Xia Zhichu, and she screamed immediately.
"Aliang, come over here and take a look. Xia Zhichu is on the headlines."
Shen Liang was getting dressed and rushed over when he heard this. Zhou Qing had just opened the video and heard Xia Zhichu's speech.
"It's really amazing! In just a few months, Xia Zhichu has established himself firmly in Peak Group, and his work has even been successfully shortlisted for the Milan Fashion Show. Now he's in the spotlight, and the whole of Jincheng knows about Xia Zhichu's reputation."
Zhou Qing's eyes showed jealousy, and her fists clenched tightly around the hem of her skirt.
It was clear that Xia Zhichu was still on blind dates a few months ago, suffering from their insults, but now he has transformed into a famous designer.
In contrast, she and Shen Liang have remained at the grassroots level and have made no progress.
"I'm so glad I cut my losses in time and didn't linger on this failed marriage. In fact, I have my ex-husband to thank for my current success!"
When Xia Zhichu said this, Shen Liang's face became extremely ugly.
Thank yourself?
She was mocking him, saying that without him, Xia Zhichu could live a better life, right?
Shen Liang felt as if he was being insulted and clenched his fists tightly.
"Of course, without the support of my current husband, I might still be stuck in the quagmire and unable to get out." After Xia Zhichu said this, her eyes swept around, not knowing what she was looking for. Perhaps she didn't find the person she wanted to meet, and her expression was slightly disappointed.
Finally, she smiled, took a deep breath, and continued, "Whether he is here today or not, I want to say to him: Thank you!"
As these words fell, the audience burst into applause.
Xia Zhichu stood on the stage, enjoying the audience's admiration with a confident smile on his face.
Zhou Qing watched Xia Zhichu steal the show, and he poured all his emotions out to Shen Liang. "It's all because of your incompetence that we've been stuck where we are, allowing others to bully us at will."
Shen Liang was already feeling unhappy, and after hearing Zhou Qing's complaints, he became even more irritated.
“That’s enough!”
With bloodshot eyes, he grabbed Zhou Qing's hand and shouted in a voice as loud as thunder, "If you could be more hardworking and frugal like Xia Zhichu, and learn how to make a living, our current life would be fine."
Seeing him put the blame on himself, Zhou Qing's calmness immediately flared up, and he started punching and kicking Chen Liang, "If you don't have the ability to support a girlfriend, why are you dating and getting married? If you have the guts, go back and find Xia Zhichu now!"
These words deeply touched Shen Liang's reverse scale. He was so angry that he had nowhere to vent. He directly snatched Zhou Qing's phone and smashed it to the ground angrily.
"Okay, if you think I'm useless, then we won't get married!"
The phone that fell to the ground was Zhou Qing’s newly bought iPhone 14.
In an instant, Zhou Qing went completely crazy and started scratching Shen Liang. Soon, Shen Liang's face was covered with nail marks, and blood was oozing from some parts.
"If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. Who cares? As for this child, I don't want it either!"
It was not enough for Zhou Qing to grab it, he also threw Shen Liang's phone, and finally picked up the iPhone 14 and left while cursing.
Whenever Shen Liang mentioned the issue of whether the child should stay or go, he would coax Zhou Qing gently and ask her not to take the child away, but now his mind was full of the video just now.
Under the camera, Xia Zhichu spoke to the news media about their failed marriage. Although tears welled up in her eyes, she showed her relief at having gotten rid of the past.
He immediately flew into a rage and kicked the wall several times, not even thinking of trying to keep Zhou Qing.
Good job, Xia Zhichu. After leaving me, you have gained more reputation and are living a colorful life.
Shen Liang felt extremely unwilling. Why was he in such a miserable state while Xia Zhichu lived such a brilliant life?
Xia Zhichu didn't know that this speech had led to Shen Liang and Zhou Qing breaking up.
After the quarterly show ended, someone specially protected her as she left the venue. However, she was stopped by Zhao Sichun at the door.
"Stop right there!"
Zhao Sichun crossed his arms and looked at Xia Zhichu arrogantly.
"Is there something wrong?" Xia Zhichu didn't want to pay attention. Wherever this woman was, there would definitely be a lot of gossip. She didn't want to quarrel with her in such an occasion.
However, Zhao Sichun refused to give in and started to mock her, "A second-married woman like you, no one would want you if you were thrown on the street, yet you found another man shortly after your divorce. If you're not actively paying for him, you must be using some shady tactics."
