Chapter 1534: Sense of Superiority
At the very most, she had gone to the bar and danced. Could it be that her attitude of admitting and correcting her mistake was not obvious enough? She had already given in but Zhou Zheng still wanted to divorce her. Wasn’t that reaching out for a yard after taking an inch?
Upon thinking about this, Qiao Zijin was so angry that she wanted to smash her phone to the ground.
“What’s wrong? What divorce?” Ding Jiayi walked out from the kitchen and saw that Qiao Zijin’s eyes were red and she was shivering all over.
Qiao Zijin took a deep breath. “Mom, Zhou Zheng, that shameless thing, actually dared to divorce me. He even applied to the court for a lawsuit!” They were even going to the courts. Qiao Zijin had no choice but to face the truth that Zhou Zheng was for real this time around and wasn’t scaring her. “I thought that I was wrong and broke off contact with that man outside. After these two to three months of cooling-off period, Zhou Zheng should no longer be angry. Who knew that he became even more worked up?!”
“Heh.” Ding Jiayi smiled coldly. “Did you come back because you wanted Zhou Zheng to calm down or because you wanted to deliberately leave Zhou Zheng hanging so that he would bow down and admit his mistake to you? You know it clearly in your heart. There are only us here. You don’t need to say these nice-sounding words to coax me. Even if you coax me, Zhou Zheng would still want to divorce you. The way you’re handling this matter is definitely wrong. You must know your mistake. The one who had someone else outside is you, not Zhou Zheng. How difficult would it be for him to be willing to fetch you home?”
The most important thing was that Qiao Nan didn’t have a good relationship with Zijin. As such, Qiao Nan would definitely not be willing to use her power to help Zijin suppress Zhou Zheng so that he would bow down to her. Furthermore, Zijin was in the wrong in the first place. Qiao Nan was less likely to help. “Okay, tell me. What do you plan to do? What are your thoughts? If you don’t want to lead a good life with Zhou Zheng, isn’t it good that he wants to divorce you? If the two of you get a divorce, couldn’t you be with your man outside?”
Since they didn’t have feelings for each other anymore and she herself was a divorcee, could Ding Jiayi still stop Qiao Zijin from getting a divorce?
It was just that nobody expected Qiao Zijin to receive such a call today.
The Zhou family was for real.
“What divorce? I never thought of getting a divorce. Indeed, Zhou Zheng isn’t the best, but he isn’t the worst either. If I divorce Zhou Zheng, I must find another man to remarry. Why must I work so hard? It’s better to spend my time with Zhou Zheng, who’s an old acquaintance,” Qiao Zijin said irritably.
It wasn’t that Qiao Zijin didn’t want to get a divorce. The first day she hooked up with Chen Jun, her old lover, Qiao Zijin had already thought about the road of divorce.
Between Chen Jun and Zhou Jun, Qiao Zijin was more satisfied with Chen Jun to begin with. Otherwise, after so many years of not meeting, why would Qiao Zijin just throw herself into Chen Jun’s arms and have an affair with him after meeting him once again? She didn’t hesitate at all, let alone think about the family she had with Zhou Zheng.
The problem was that Chen Jun was unwilling for Qiao Zijin to get a divorce so that she could be with him.
Only after both of them had rolled about in the sheets did Qiao Zijin remember to ask Chen Jun if he was married. Chen Jun had snorted and said, “I’m older than you. Based on the stretch marks on your stomach, you should be a mother already. Could it be that it’s something overboard for me to be a father?” Both of them had split ways for about ten years now. How was it possible that Chen Jun didn’t get married and didn’t have another woman by his side for these ten years?
To Chen Jun, who was once a love prodigal, this was simply a joke.
If not for pursuing Qiao Nan, Chen Jun would never be lacking in bed partners.
After Chen Jun’s sarcastic comments, Qiao Zijin felt a little wronged. One couldn’t tell that they had just ended a passionate fight on the bed. “You’re married? Why did you refuse to marry me back then? Actually, as long as you gave me more time, I would be able to meet your requirements. Tell me. If it was now, would you… would you still be willing to marry me?”
Forget it. She was also married now. Indeed, it wasn’t too good to mind that Chen Jun had married another woman and gave birth to children. Let the past be the past. What mattered were the present and the future.
“What do you mean?” Chen Jun raised his eyebrows. It wouldn’t be what he was thinking, right? “Zijin, this isn’t funny at all. I don’t have the intention to get a divorce. I have a pretty good relationship with my wife. Why? Are you not satisfied to be with me like this? I’m not the type of man who likes to force women. If you’re unwilling to, after we walk out of this door today, we can pretend that we don’t know each other and that nothing happened today.”
After getting married, he had played with countless women. If all of them were Qiao Zijin, requesting him to get a divorce after sleeping with him once, wouldn’t that be a mess?
It looked like Chen Jun was serious. Qiao Zijin’s wishful thinking would definitely not come true.
It wasn’t easy for them to be reunited again. How would Qiao Zijin bear to just break up with Chen Jun like that? Qiao Zijin thought that since Chen Jun wasn’t willing to divorce his wife now, then she had to continue to leave Zhou Zheng hanging. She believed that as time passed, Chen Jun would have a change of mind and would be willing to accept her and marry her like before.
What annoyed Qiao Zijin was that before she got Chen Jun to agree to a divorce so that he could marry her, Zhou Zheng had discovered her relationship with Chen Jun first.
Qiao Zijin hadn’t said anything about divorcing Zhou Zheng yet when her relationship with Chen Jun had just rekindled. Now, she hadn’t contacted Chen Jun for over two months. He also seemed not to have remembered her existence. How was Qiao Zijin willing to lose Zhou Zheng, a long-term meal ticket, when she hadn’t found someone else to settle down with? By then, she would really have nothing.
After receiving this call, Qiao Zijin was flustered. She didn’t know what she should do so that Zhou Zheng would have a change of mind and not divorce her for the time being.
Unless Chen Jun was willing to marry her, she was unwilling to divorce Zhou Zheng. It would be hard to lead a life without money.
“Don’t want to get a divorce?” Ding Jiayi didn’t know what else she could say. She felt that this daughter was hopeless. “You don’t want to get a divorce, yet you did such a shameless thing. He has already filed a lawsuit. If you don’t want to get a divorce, hurry back to Ping Cheng and apologize to Zhou Zheng. If you beg the Zhou family for forgiveness, there might still be room for negotiation. Remember. After you return, you must have a good attitude. If you continue to be as arrogant as before, no one in the Zhou family would bother with you again.”
“He hit me and I have to apologize to him? Since young, you never even hit me once. Even my father rarely hit me. It’s Zhou Zheng’s fault for hitting me. On what basis should I apologize to him? He should be the one apologizing!” Qiao Zijin was unwilling to relent. In front of Zhou Zheng, she always had a sense of superiority.
