Reborn in 2015, I became a male god starting in high school.

Chapter 131 Old Scumbag

"?"

Zhou Guowei looked at Xu Qing in front of him, completely bewildered.

In my memory, Xu Qing has always been a kind and understanding woman.

It's rare to see someone suddenly lose their temper like this.

To be honest, Zhou Guowei wasn't the kind of person who knew how to coax women. If he had, things wouldn't have escalated to the point of his family breaking up.

So Zhou Guowei just asked, puzzled, "Who made you unhappy this time?"

After saying this, Zhou Guowei sat back down on the sofa and picked up a newspaper to start reading.

Thinking to myself, "Look at his temper."

I guess they didn't cook today either.

Xu Qing went to Jinling with a belly full of anger, and originally planned to vent it by going along with Zhou Guowei's behavior. Who would have thought that Zhou Guowei would just say one sentence and then sullenly read the newspaper on the side.

This made Xu Qing feel even more aggrieved.

At this moment, although Zhou Guowei was reading the newspaper on the surface, he couldn't calm his mind at all. He was thinking about how long Xu Qing would stay angry. She couldn't possibly skip dinner, could she?
He was thinking about how to tell Xu Qing.

Suddenly, a faint sound of crying could be heard.

Zhou Guowei couldn't help but be curious and turned to look at Xu Qing, only to see that Xu Qing's shoulders were trembling slightly.

Xu Qing actually sat there and started crying.

This startled Zhou Guowei, who quickly went over and stammered, "Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Did Weiwei make you angry again?

Xu Qing wiped away her tears and said that it had nothing to do with Weiwei.

"What is it? Tell me."

Xu Qing kept wiping away her tears, which confused Zhou Guowei even more. He put his hand on Xu Qing's back and gently patted her back, saying, "Tell me what you want to say. Don't keep it to yourself."

"People always need to eat. Instead of crying here, why don't you think about what to eat tonight?"

All you ever think about is eating!

Xu Qing glared angrily at Zhou Guowei. Zhou Guowei felt he hadn't done anything wrong. People need to eat, and he wasn't a child anymore. He could just say what was on his mind.

Will crying solve the problem?

"Has something happened at the school again?" Zhou Guowei thought for a long time, and that was the only thing he could think of.

He told Xu Qing that she could tell him whatever it was about.

"If I can solve it for you, I definitely will."

Xu Qing's eyes reddened as she looked at Zhou Guowei's confident demeanor.

People say that to be beautiful, one must be filial. Although Xu Qingnian is a bit older, she was a stunning beauty when she was young, and she still retains her charm today.

Seeing her sitting on the sofa crying, Zhou Guowei felt a pang of pity.

But Xu Qing said with some pity, "It's nothing, I just feel that you don't treat me like one of your own."

"What are you talking about?"

Zhou Guowei thought something had happened to Xu Qing, but after holding back for so long, she said this, and Zhou Guowei felt wronged.

Xu Qing and he had been together for almost five years. In these five years, apart from not actually getting a marriage certificate, Zhou Guowei felt that he had done nothing to wrong Xu Qing.

Xu Qing said that teaching was tiring, so Zhou Guowei used his connections to get her transferred to a logistics job.

At the time, Xia Wei was studying in the countryside, and her school registration had already been confirmed. However, Xu Qing approached Zhou Guowei and said he wanted to transfer Xia Wei to No. 1 Middle School.

Zhou Guowei is the kind of person who rarely invites others to drink for his own sake. But because of this matter, he specially invited the deputy director of the Education Bureau to drink.

Zhou Guowei felt that he had done everything he could for Xu Qing.

Why the sudden comment, "Are you not one of us?"

Seeing that Zhou Guowei was still pretending to be confused.

Xu Qing was genuinely disappointed, so she stubbornly continued, "You don't need to pretend to be innocent in front of me anymore. You know, I went to Jinling, so I must have seen everything I was supposed to see and everything I wasn't supposed to see."

"You're telling me all this now, so you mean that what you're doing is enough, and I shouldn't think about anything else?"

"How could you possibly have such a thought? What's wrong with you today?"

Zhou Guowei was truly stunned. Wasn't Xu Qing usually quite sensible?

Why did you suddenly become so unreasonable again today?

“I know you’ve always wanted to get a marriage certificate, but didn’t I say it’s not appropriate? I mean, after the kids graduate, do you really think I can let you live with me for the rest of your life without any official status?”

Zhou Guowei was still rambling on about a bunch of irrelevant things.

It's fine if you don't mention getting a marriage certificate, but as soon as you do...

Xu Qing looked at Zhou Guowei with tears streaming down her face, but her expression was now cold.

She said, "You won't talk to me about anything. Even if we get a marriage certificate, your heart isn't with me. What good will that do?"

How come my heart isn't with you?

Zhou Guowei became more and more confused as he spoke.

Seeing that Zhou Guowei was unwilling to admit it, Xu Qing became genuinely angry and began to cover her face and cry.

The crying bothered Zhou Guowei, and he could only try to persuade Xu Qing to stop crying.

If there's anything you need to say, let's talk it over, okay?
"Crying won't solve anything."

At this moment, Zhou Guowei was thinking, "If I had known you were this troublesome, I should have stayed far away from you back then."

Sure enough, all women are the same.

"You bought Ziyang a house and a car in Jinling, and gave him all your money. What about Weiwei and me? Have you ever thought about us? Waaah." After crying for a while, Xu Qing finally expressed her grievances.

However, Zhou Guowei was stunned for a moment.

"What did you say? Buy a house? Buy a car? When did I ever buy Ziyang a house?"

“Ziyang does own a BMW, but didn’t he say he bought it with his own money? You know that, right?” Zhou Guowei’s expression turned serious; these kinds of things couldn’t be said carelessly.

My monthly salary is only eight thousand yuan, how can I afford to buy my son a car or a house?

Seeing Zhou Guowei's righteous and righteous words, Xu Qing was really angry. She cried even more sadly and said, "Look, you are still lying to me now."

"Guowei, I've followed you for five years. I'm asking you, have I ever really asked you for anything? Am I really that untrustworthy?"

Xu Qing's tears had dried up. She looked at the serious-looking man in front of her and refused to believe that his heart was made of iron.

“For the past five years, I’ve been doing all sorts of work for you. You said you liked the beef from Xijiekou, so I would ride my electric bike for twenty minutes after work every day to buy it for you. And your underwear couldn’t be machine washed, so I washed it by hand every day! All the other teachers in our office live a life where they have everything done for them! Only I have been treated like a maid by you all day long, and in the end, I didn’t even get a title.”

"Yes, I know, I know it was all my own choice. I didn't want anything from you. I just hoped that you would treat Weiwei like your own daughter, right?"

"Whether Weiwei is your biological daughter or not, in her eyes, she treats you as her own father. You can see that, right?"

“You yourself said that wherever she goes, she calls him Uncle Zhou this and Uncle Zhou that, but what about you!”

Xu Qing felt increasingly aggrieved and angry as she spoke.

She said she never intended to get anything out of Zhou Guowei.

She admitted that she was divorced at the time and had a child.

“But it wasn’t like I had no suitors. You know back then, Mr. Wang from the stone construction company was always coming to the school to fuss over me,” Xu Qing said, crying.

Zhou Guowei frowned: "Didn't you say he was harassing you?"

Xu Qing cried without saying a word, just staring at Zhou Guowei with tears in her eyes.

To be honest, Zhou Guowei is quite confused right now.

He reached out and took Xu Qing's hand, saying, "I know you're good to me, and I know Weiwei treats me like her own father. But at the same time, I haven't let you down either. Tell me yourself, since you came here, have I ever neglected your basic needs, or Weiwei's education?"

“Weiwei was in the top ten in the whole school, and I bought her a cell phone. I’ve never bought Ziyang a cell phone in all his life.”

"Who cares about your phone! If you want it, I'll give it back to you! Is that what I'm talking about? What I'm angry about is that you treat Ziyang and Weiwei differently! What did you tell me back then? You made it very clear that you treat Weiwei like your own daughter! Have you forgotten?"

Zhou Guowei said he hadn't forgotten. "You mean Ziyang bought a car and a house in Jinling? I really didn't know. Wasn't the car supposed to be for writing a novel?"

"That's not true at all!"

Xu Qing was furious that Zhou Guowei was still pretending to be stupid!
Xu Qing told Zhou Guowei that Zhou Ziyang had already changed his car!

And it was a Porsche!

"That car costs over a million!"

"Ziyang drives a Porsche?"

Zhou Guowei was genuinely stunned upon hearing this. He had been handling cases for many years and was quite familiar with this type of vehicle, but to be honest, his first thought upon hearing the news was shock, followed by confusion.

I'd like to hear Xu Qing explain what exactly happened.

How could Ziyang possibly drive a Porsche?
Seeing Zhou Guowei's expression, Xu Qing couldn't help but sneer. She said, "Are you still pretending? Don't you know he drives a Porsche?"

"Without you, how could he possibly be driving a Porsche?"

"Xu Qing, don't say that!" Zhou Guowei's face turned stern.

You really shouldn't say things like that carelessly.

"Can't I say that?"

Xu Qing sneered repeatedly, saying, "You just won't admit it, will you? You're here every day, living in the apartment provided by your work unit, and you keep saying you're trying to be frugal. Now I understand."

"So all the frugality was extended to your son."

"And yet, Weiwei and I were so foolish as to endure hardship with you!"

"How is this a hard time!" Zhou Guowei was genuinely angry.

Xu Qing retorted, "You still won't tell? Fine, I'll show you! Here, this is your son's car! This is the online price! 1.5 million! Can you really say he could afford this car without you?!"

"And this! A house! This is a house! Look, four bedrooms and two bathrooms! It's bigger than your two run-down houses combined! Look at the renovation!"

At this moment, Xu Qing truly didn't care about anything else and showed Zhou Guowei the video Lu had shown her earlier.

After reading it, Zhou Guowei frowned repeatedly and said, "Why did you post this in the group?"

"You guys are really bored! What's so interesting about this? Is this really the house Ziyang bought? You're not kidding me, are you?"

When Zhou Guowei saw the video Xu Qing posted in the group chat, he was genuinely a little panicked.

Seeing the house layout in the video was even more shocking.

How could this possibly be Ziyang's house?

How much does this house cost?

"How much? I even asked my colleague. For a place like this, in this location, it's at least five million! Ha, shocking, isn't it!?"

"Let me tell you, your son is a regular at five-star hotels! He has at least twenty million in his bank account!"

"You consider me one of your own?"

Do you really consider me one of your own?

“Zhou Guowei, I’ve been with you for five years! I’ve truly worked hard for you without complaint for these five years! I really thought that you and your ex-wife had relationship problems! I really thought it was your ex-wife’s fault!”

"I just found out! It's fake!"

"It's all fake! You two conspired to deceive me! Deceived me!"

"Shut up!" Zhou Guowei suddenly glared at Xu Qing with an authoritative look.

That one glance stunned Xu Qing.

Zhou Guowei was genuinely dissatisfied at this point. He said, "Let me understand the situation first. All this arguing... when did you become like Lijuan?"

As Zhou Guowei spoke, he held up his phone and looked at all the videos Xu Qing had taken.

I must say, the decor is beautiful.

The house is beautiful.

It looks impressive.

"How can you be so sure that this house belongs to Ziyang?" Zhou Guowei asked.

Seeing that Zhou Guowei was still trying to play dumb, Xu Qing snorted and said, "Any more questions? Your son himself has already admitted it."

"He admits it's his? He's always been very dissatisfied with you. If it's rented, is that not allowed?" Zhou Guowei retorted.

Xu Qing was taken aback; she hadn't thought of that at the time.

But she quickly retorted, "Don't lie to me! The house is rented, but the bank card is real, right? The car is real, right? Where would he get so much money without you?"

At this moment, Zhou Guowei put Xu Qing's phone on the coffee table.

He released the sound casually and naturally.

Xu Qing remained silent, his face ashen.

Zhou Guowei said, "You said he has 20 million, have you seen those 20 million?"

"I didn't, but,"

"But you heard it from someone? Just because someone says it doesn't mean it's true?" Zhou Guowei sat there majestically, his eyes fixed on Xu Qing like those of a hawk.

For a moment, Xu Qing didn't cry or make a fuss.

She didn't dare look Zhou Guowei in the eye, but still stubbornly said, "Zhou Guowei, you don't need to use your professional methods on me. I don't believe that if it weren't for you, your son would have so much money."

“I really didn’t know Ziyang had so much money. I’ll go and find out.”

“But Xu Qing, even if I gave him this money, what’s the problem?” Zhou Guowei retorted.

"?" Xu Qing was taken aback.

Looking at Zhou Guowei, one sees him speaking with self-righteousness.

She didn't quite understand.

In fact, Zhou Guowei had been holding back for a long time. He didn't understand why Xu Qing was being unreasonable.

However, Zhou Guowei felt that some of Xu Qing's ideas were wrong.

If he had known that Xu Qing was this kind of woman, he would never have been able to stay with her until today.

Zhou Guowei paused for a moment, then said, "Ziyang is my son. What's wrong with giving my money to my son?"

"I did say that I would treat Weiwei like my own daughter."

"But in fact, I haven't wronged you! Your job transfer, your Mercedes, and Weiwei's school—you tell me, without me, could Weiwei have gone to No. 1 Middle School? I don't think I've done anything to wrong you."

"But in the future, I will definitely leave my money to my son?"

"Are you suggesting I keep Xia Wei's money? If that's your mindset, then we should end this sooner rather than later. I can't do that," Zhou Guowei said bluntly, shaking his head repeatedly.

"Finish?"

Xu Qing found this laughable.

She said, "Zhou Guowei, listen to this! Are you even speaking human language? In these past five years, have you been the only one making sacrifices? What about me? I've washed your clothes and cooked for you every day. You wanted to eat the beef from the West Street corner, and I..."

"Okay, stop talking. I know what you're going to say."

Did I force you?

"Didn't you and Weiwei eat? Are you doing this for me, or for your daughter?"

"Haven't I given you money for groceries every month?"

"Zhou Guowei!" Xu Qing's chest heaved with anger.

"Alright, I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

"None of you women are easy to deal with! I'm going out to eat. If you want to leave, pack your things and go! We're not even married yet!"

After Zhou Guowei finished speaking, he got up and tried to leave.
