29: Chapter 29 Zhou Meiren

After seeing Song Manli off,

Zhao Feiyu also planned to return to Jiangbei.

But just as Zhao Feiyu, Zhang Meizhi, and the others had returned home,

they suddenly discovered an uninvited guest in the house.

"Zhou Meiren?"

Old Master Song was sitting on the sofa, looking with an unfriendly expression at a man wearing a suit with a center-parted hairstyle.

Upon seeing this man, Song Chanjuan's face immediately flushed with anger.

"What are you doing in our house? Get out of here right now!"

Song Chanjuan stepped forward, intending to drive Zhou Meiren away.

However, Zhou Meiren smiled faintly and teased, "We're an old married couple, yet you try to kick me out the moment we meet? I've come to see my Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, so what's with this attitude?"

Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu immediately guessed the man's identity.

If nothing was amiss,

this fellow was likely Song Chanjuan's ex-husband.

Regarding Song Chanjuan's past,

Zhao Feiyu had learned a bit about it from Song Manli.

This Zhou Meiren was no ordinary person.

Back when Song Yunfeng was at the height of his power,

the Zhou Family, one of the three major families in Yunduan City, had shown an interest in befriending him.

And with the Zhou Family's help, Song Yunfeng's enterprise

surpassed all other businesses in one fell swoop, becoming the undisputed leader of Yunduan City.

To curry favor with the Zhou Family at the time, Song Yunfeng had encouraged Song Chanjuan and Zhou Meiren to marry,

using it as a way to solidify the relationship between the two families.

But he never expected

that from that moment on,

Song Yunfeng had personally sent his own daughter into a fiery pit.

After the marriage,

relying on the Zhou Family's vast wealth and power, Zhou Meiren didn't respect Song Chanjuan at all.

He went out every day to mess around with other women,

and would come home to verbally abuse and beat Song Chanjuan.

During those years of domestic violence, Song Yunfeng had approached the Zhou Family countless times.

But the Zhou Family only had this one son.

Their doting on him was beyond imagination.

Not only did they not stop Zhou Meiren's abusive behavior, but they even declared that if she couldn't take it, she should just get a divorce!

It wasn't until the Song Family fell from power

that the Zhou Family immediately kicked Song Chanjuan out,

completely severing ties with Song Yunfeng.

At that time, the Zhou Family not only failed to lend a helping hand but also kicked the Song Family while they were down to curry favor with another enterprise.

This ensured that the Song Family had absolutely no chance of making a comeback.

Later,

Zhou Meiren would still come looking for Song Chanjuan from time to time.

After all, Song Chanjuan's beauty and figure were undeniable.

Even after the divorce, Zhou Meiren still thought of her and had desired her countless times.

But every time he came over, Song Yunfeng would call the police to drive him away.

...

"I say, wifey, your temper is still as explosive as ever!"

Zhou Meiren said with a frivolous look on his face,

acting entirely like a typical profligate son of a wealthy family.

"Since you're not welcome in this house, please leave!"

At that moment, Zhao Feiyu spoke up indifferently,

directly ordering Zhou Meiren to leave.

"What kind of thing are you?"

Zhou Meiren's eyes narrowed as he cursed rudely.

"Is it your place to butt in when a husband and wife are talking?"

Actually, Zhou Meiren had seen Zhao Feiyu when he first entered the door,

but he hadn't taken Zhao Feiyu seriously at all.

"Husband and wife? You've been f*cking divorced for who knows how many years, and you still have the face to say husband and wife? Is it legal?"

As he spoke, Zhao Feiyu walked straight to Song Chanjuan's side.

Then, he reached out and pulled Song Chanjuan into his arms.

"Now you can get lost, because we are the ones who are husband and wife!"

These sudden words

even caught Old Master Song a bit by surprise.

However, Old Master Song soon understood Zhao Feiyu's good intentions.

He wanted to use this opportunity to completely rid Song Chanjuan of Zhou Meiren.

Seeing this,

none of the others interrupted.

Zhao Feiyu clearly felt Song Chanjuan's delicate body tremble in his arms.

At first, there was a slight reaction of resistance,

but she soon allowed Zhao Feiyu to hold her.

At the same time,

Zhao Feiyu actually received favorability notifications from Song Chanjuan.

【Song Chanjuan's Favorability +5】

【Song Chanjuan's Favorability +5】

All at once,

Song Chanjuan's favorability reached seventy points.

"You two?"

Zhou Meiren's brow furrowed as he questioned coldly,

"Song Chanjuan, what is the meaning of this? My, Zhou Meiren's, woman—even if we're divorced—is not someone other men can lay their hands on!"

"Zhou Meiren, for someone from a great family, you're a disgrace. From the day our Song Family fell, I, Song Chanjuan, have had nothing to do with you. Besides, we're already divorced; we're no longer a legal couple, understand? I have my own freedom of marriage now, and it has nothing to do with you anymore, do you understand?"

Being held by Zhao Feiyu like this,

Song Chanjuan didn't know where she got the courage,

but she directly warned Zhou Meiren.

"Song Chanjuan, after not seeing you for these years, you've certainly learned how to play around!"

Zhou Meiren suddenly started laughing.

"You can actually fall for this kind of trash? Looking at his street-market clothes, the whole outfit probably didn't even cost three hundred yuan!"

"Don't say I, Zhou Meiren, don't care about our years of feelings as a couple. I've given you many chances, but you didn't cherish them. Today is the last time I'll give you a chance. Go change your clothes right now and come with me to a banquet. As long as you get through tonight, I'll give you a million, which will guarantee your Song Family's basic needs!"

Hearing this,

Song Chanjuan's face instantly darkened.

"Zhou Meiren!"

"Get lost!"

"We've been divorced for so many years, yet you've repeatedly tried to make me accompany those people. I'm telling you, no way!"

As soon as these words were spoken,

Old Master Song stood up abruptly.

"What?"

"Chanjuan, what did you say? What did he want you to do?"

As Old Master Song stood up,

the atmosphere in the entire room suddenly became tense.

Having once been the top official in Yunduan City, the lingering prestige within Old Master Song was still very much present.

It was not something a young person like Zhou Meiren could withstand.

In these past few days,

because of Zhao Feiyu's appearance,

the Song Family had undergone earth-shattering changes.

This had also given everyone in the Song Family an unprecedented sense of confidence.

It gave Song Chanjuan a great pillar of support.

It felt like returning to a warm harbor.

"Waaah!!!"

Song Chanjuan could no longer hold it back.

She threw herself directly into Zhao Feiyu's arms and began to cry.

Zhao Feiyu clearly felt his chest being dampened by Song Chanjuan's tears.

While sobbing, Song Chanjuan said, "Over these years, Zhou Meiren has been pestering me. He'd come to the school to find me, block me at the door of our house, and try to make me accompany some leaders and young masters from families in the capital. But I refused him every time, so he used our family to threaten me..."

"Then did you go?"

Old Master Song asked in a furious voice.

Song Chanjuan shook her head while sobbing and said aggrievedly, "I didn't go. Several times I called the police to drive him away, but I didn't expect him to come again today!"

Hearing this, Old Master Song stepped forward and delivered a slap.

Zhou Meiren was just about to lash out,

but upon seeing Old Master Song's enraged expression,

his temper instantly vanished.

Although Old Master Song had retired,

his connections from back then were still intact.

It was just that the old man was upright; even after his family's decline, he still hadn't used his connections.

If Old Master Song were to use his connections,

even the Zhou Family would have to think twice before acting.
