Transmigrated as the Stepmother of a Rebellious Heir-Chapter 304 - 171 Retribution_2

"Slap!"

Before Mrs. Zhou could finish speaking, Mr. Zhou suddenly stood up and fiercely slapped her.

Mrs. Zhou was dumbfounded and looked at her husband in disbelief, "Did you just hit me?"

"I did hit you!" Mr. Zhou trembled with anger, "How could I have such a stupid and vicious wife! Are you trying to get us killed?!"

"No one found out." Mrs. Zhou hurriedly explained, "The people from the platform told me they would publicly claim the money was for charity, and then we’d split it eighty-twenty."

"Is it about whether it would be found out or not?"

Mr. Zhou looked at Mrs. Zhou with disappointment, as if he had never known this woman beside him, "I always thought, although you were lazy and greedy, you would never make such a huge mistake. Hate that I, Zhou Liang, have lived upright and honest only to end up marrying someone like you."

"What do you mean? Are you regretting marrying me?"

All other words went unheard by Mrs. Zhou; as soon as she heard Mr. Zhou express regret about marrying her, it was like she found a vent for her emotions, "I knew you couldn’t forget your first love. I didn’t want that money for myself; I did it to help you."

In the past, Mr. Zhou would surely have stepped forward to comfort her when Mrs. Zhou said things like this, but today, contrary to his usual demeanor and looking as if all his strength had been drained, Mr. Zhou looked at her and said, "Let’s get divorced, Zhou Ming belongs to me, and I won’t let you see him again."

"You want a divorce?!"

Even during the fiercest arguments before, Mr. Zhou had never mentioned divorce. Hearing Mr. Zhou bring it up now, Mrs. Zhou’s first reaction was panic.

Knowing her husband did as he said, she stepped forward and grabbed his arm, "I know I was wrong, please don’t divorce me."

"It’s too late."

Mr. Zhou shook off her hand, "Go online now and clarify that this was all your doing, and apologize to Shu Wan and her family."

"If I do that, you won’t divorce me?"

"That’s impossible."

Mr. Zhou had finally seen clearly what kind of person his wife, to whom he had been married for decades, truly was; he could not let Zhou Ming be corrupted by her.

"Then you’ll never know where Zhou Ming is."

Mrs. Zhou defiantly replied, "You want to divorce me? Then get out of this house right now, because I definitely won’t apologize to Shu Wan."

"You have truly disappointed me."

Mr. Zhou shook his head and walked away.

Watching Mr. Zhou’s departing figure, Mrs. Zhou, now desperate and bitter, felt defeated. When people experience failure, they often don’t see it as their own fault. Naturally, she blamed everything on Shu Wan.

Thinking about how young and beautiful Shu Wan was, Mrs. Zhou’s jealousy soared, "Fine, let’s get a divorce. I have money now; I’m not afraid of you."

Meanwhile, Shu Wan was ready to release all her evidence to the public as she saw the intensity of the situation, prepared to let Mrs. Zhou taste the backlash.

However, before she could act, Mrs. Zhou started another livestream. Oddly, the person appearing on screen wasn’t Mrs. Zhou, but Mr. Zhou.

"Sorry to disturb everyone. I am Zhou Ming’s father. Recently, my wife and son have drawn a lot of attention. I want to apologize to you all."

Saying so, Mr. Zhou stood up and bowed deeply to the camera.

The viewers in the livestream were confused, not understanding what was happening, and many thought Mr. Zhou had gone crazy from the loss of his son, sending comforting messages.

But Mr. Zhou’s next statement stunned everyone.

"My son Zhou Ming isn’t dead at all. This was all a performance directed by my wife, aimed at garnering public sympathy."

[What??? What’s going on? The couple’s statements are completely contradictory. Who’s telling the truth, and who’s lying?]

[If what Zhou Ming’s father is saying is true, then Zhou Ming’s mother is outrageous for exploiting everyone’s kindness to make money. Wow, that’s insane.]

[I always suspected something was wrong with this family. You didn’t believe it. Who wouldn’t be heartbroken and desperately mourning if their son died? How could they possibly have the leisure to livestream and share old stories with netizens?]

As more and more viewers joined the livestream, Mr. Zhou continued, revealing that Zhou Ming hadn’t been injured at all and that all the supposed proofs had been fabricated by Mrs. Zhou.

He was getting into the full swing of his story when the livestream suddenly went black. When the stream came back on, the person broadcasting had changed to Mrs. Zhou.

"Don’t be fooled by my husband; he’s been bewitched by that vixen Shu Wan. If my son really isn’t dead, then why doesn’t he just bring Zhou Ming to the livestream? What’s the use of explaining so much here?"
