The police were somewhat suspicious about how Zhao Zhengyu had sustained his injuries. Wei Luoyang was terrified and didn't know how to explain when they looked at her with suspicion.
Just then, Jun Jiuli called, claiming she had installed a small surveillance camera that afternoon, just in case her beast-like elder brother made a move.
As soon as the video was sent, the police officially recorded the incident. The onlookers were filled with disbelief – a man of 1.89 meters tall bullying a weak woman and a child with a knife.
Furthermore, for him to be gay, marry a wife, and have children, he truly had a lack of virtue. They resolved to keep their distance if they ever encountered him again. Those with sons at home grew even more anxious, thinking about how they needed to have a serious talk with their children when they got back.
The next day, Jun Jiuli received her bright red divorce certificate. Carrying a stack of money, she "sadly" moved out of the Wu family home. When others asked her what happened, why she was getting a divorce, she put on a sorrowful face, as if there were unspeakable reasons. The entire neighborhood began to gossip that she had been forced into it, unable to do anything else. After all, Wu mother's reputation as a cruel mother-in-law was deeply ingrained.
In the past, she had constantly tormented and scolded the original owner. The soundproofing in this old neighborhood was not good, so it was natural for neighbors to whisper behind her back and condemn Wu mother's actions.
Jun Jiuli rented a high-end apartment and began to live a somewhat luxurious life, enjoying good food and a comfortable existence.
Wei Luoyang directly filed for divorce in court and drafted a divorce agreement. Zhao Zhengyu had passed out the previous night and thought his scandalous affair had not yet been exposed.
Under Wei Luoyang's coercion, he signed the agreement. All the property was transferred to Wei Luoyang and her son, leaving him with nothing. He also changed the child's name.
Wei Luoyang had all the door locks in the house changed and then sold Zhao Zhengyu's car. She gathered all his belongings and threw them in the trash.
She had no intention of running away; she wouldn't leave the city she had grown up in. She hadn't done anything wrong; it was Zhao Zhengyu who should be ashamed.
She was her parents' cherished youngest daughter. Her parents had rushed over from their hometown to accompany her and help look after the child, giving her some relief.
When her brother came, he immediately wanted to go to the hospital to beat up Zhao Zhengyu, but she stopped him. It wasn't worth it for someone like him. Her brother stayed for a few days before having to return to his job.
Her sister-in-law also visited her often, advising her to be more optimistic. Wei Luoyang herself had come to terms with it and no longer dwelled on the past. He was just a man with a black heart, not worth any of her sadness.
After Jun Jiuli left the Wu family, their home was no longer peaceful; they were constantly arguing. They would fight every day, resulting in severe injuries for the three of them. The neighbors all said it was retribution.
Wu Chuanbai went to work with injuries every day, his face scratched and raw. He never got credit for good work; he could only do thankless tasks and was even scorned by his superiors.
No one liked an employee who was constantly in trouble. If the project hadn't been urgent and they couldn't quickly find a suitable replacement, his boss would have fired Wu Chuanbai.
Zhao Zhengyu had a difficult time during his hospitalization. Without anyone to care for him and with one eye blind, he found it hard to adapt. He also had no money to get a prosthetic eye.
His medical expenses were covered by his parents, Zhao father and Zhao mother. They certainly wouldn't have extra money to hire a caregiver for him, as their savings were dwindling. They also had to consider their own needs.
He finally managed to get discharged from the hospital and intended to go back to Wei Luoyang's place to retrieve some of his belongings and find a place to rent. However, the door wouldn't open no matter what.
He could only knock on the door and shout from outside. Passersby looked at him with strange expressions, making him feel extremely uncomfortable and embarrassed.
He didn't dare to ask why they were looking at him like that, thinking, "No, no, Wei Luoyang said she wouldn't spread anything."
The knocking was so bothersome that Wei father came to open the door with a broom.
"What do you want? I'm telling you, this isn't your home anymore. Get lost, get lost, don't let me see you again."
"Dad, why are you here? I'm just coming back to get my things and I'll leave immediately."
"Don't call me Dad. My daughter has thrown all your things away. Hurry up and get lost, or I'll get physical."
"Wei Luoyang, why did you throw my things away? You're all too much!" He yelled, drawing all the neighbors out to watch the spectacle.
When he was knocking earlier, they had just been passing by and didn't want to stare. Now that there was a commotion, as neighbors, they had to step in to mediate.
"What things? This house belongs to my daughter. Your things were here and bothering her, so she threw them away. Where else would she put them? You didn't give any prior notice."
"You're too much, have you no sense of reason?" Saying this, he tried to push his way in.
"Hey, hey, hey. Let me tell you something. If you continue like this, I'll call the police. This is harassment and trespassing." As he spoke, he used the broom to push him out.
Zhao Zhengyu thought he didn't have much money, but he felt a surge of anger that made him want to rush in. Now that he had calmed down, there really was no need.
He snorted and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, he lost his balance and fell face-first, knocking out two of his front teeth.
Dazed, he tried to stand up and his head hit a fire hydrant with a thud. The onlookers couldn't help but burst into laughter. He was really too unlucky.
Wei father quickly said, "Everyone saw it. I didn't push him; he fell by himself."
"We saw it, we saw it. If he causes any trouble later, we'll all testify for you, Uncle."
"Hahahaha~"
Zhao Zhengyu, feeling dizzy, got up and awkwardly took the elevator down.
Wei mother watched from behind, overjoyed. It was truly retribution, so satisfying! Tonight, she would add an extra special dish.
Wei Luoyang also chuckled softly. The little one beside her hadn't seen anything. Seeing everyone laugh, he also laughed and clapped his hands.
Zhao Zhengyu had a stable job with the government. He had taken leave previously due to his injuries. Generally, employees were not fired for issues with their personal conduct.
Furthermore, since his private affair had not been widely publicized, only known to the neighbors and the police station. The neighbors had no serious grievances to report him, and the police station would protect personal privacy.
Therefore, he managed to keep his job. He could no longer get money from Zhao father. Wu Chuanbai spent money to rent a small apartment for him, and he began to resume his normal life.
Due to family issues, Wu Chuanbai stopped going home and often stayed at Zhao Zhengyu's small rented apartment, where they would confide in each other and express their love.
Jun Jiuli wouldn't let these two off so easily. She was short on cash recently and it was time for them to contribute.
That night, she changed her attire and evaded the surveillance cameras. She easily kidnapped the two of them and contacted buyers.
