Bai Jing’s face changed abruptly when Zhou Guangsheng brought up past events. She slammed her bag onto the ground, glaring at him ferociously, "Zhou Guangsheng, who allowed you to mention the past? When you married me, you promised in my presence that you would never remember those past events. That’s the only reason I agreed to marry you." Although Zhou Guangsheng knew about Bai Jing’s past, the fact that he chose to marry her indicated that he could accept it, and he hadn’t brought it up over the years. Moreover, when Bai Jing agreed to marry him, he indeed made that promise. So now, seeing Bai Jing furious to the extreme, he somewhat guiltily apologized, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bring it up." Bai Jing gave him a cold smile, "Since you have always remembered the past, why bother marrying me? No one forced you at that time." Bai Jing was so arrogant in front of him because she knew Zhou Guangsheng wouldn’t dare to do anything about it. "Xiao Jing, I didn’t mind your past. If I did, I wouldn’t have married you. Ask yourself, how have I treated you over the years? How many times have I mentioned your past events?" Zhou Guangsheng looked at Bai Jing and gently said, "Never, not even once." "It’s not because I don’t mind; it’s that all men would mind, but I like you, I can tolerate these things. I just hope you are willing to live a good life with me. When you are healthier, we can have another child and have a complete family. That would be perfect." "Hmph." Bai Jing revealed a sneer on her face, looking down on Zhou Guangsheng for even mentioning children. In her heart, she never planned to have children for Zhou Guangsheng. If she were to have children, they should be with someone like Luo Zhiyong, tall, handsome, strong, and always a top performer at work. Not someone like Zhou Guangsheng before her, with average looks, average physique, average job position, one whom you could grab a handful of in any crowd. Especially Zhou Guangsheng’s personality, always gentle, hardly able to utter a few words. In her opinion, such men are utterly useless. Just like the incident today, if Zhou Guangsheng had come back and thrown a temper, she might have felt that he had some masculinity. But instead, he didn’t even dare to speak harshly, apologizing frightfully after saying something wrong. Although Bai Jing was annoyed by Zhou Guangsheng’s wrong words, seeing him apologize immediately, she felt that Zhou Guangsheng was indeed useless. Had he been forceful consistently, she might have softened. Over the years, Zhou Guangsheng had understood Bai Jing’s thoughts but refrained from speaking harshly or letting her leave him because he loved her too much. He felt that making do was enough. However, seeing Bai Jing’s unabashedly mocking gaze, Zhou Guangsheng’s heart turned utterly cold. He laughed derisively at himself and for the first time spoke harshly to Bai Jing, "You’ve had your eyes on Zhiyong for some time now. When he was still unmarried, you thought you still had a chance. Now that his wife has arrived, you are thinking about breaking them up." "Have you ever thought, even if you truly break them up, do you think Zhiyong would accept you?" Pausing briefly, Zhou Guangsheng scoffed, "I’ll tell you, with Luo Zhiyong’s character, even if he remains unmarried for his whole life, he would absolutely not covet a fellow soldier’s wife. No matter how much you wish, especially with your malicious heart, he will only grow to detest you more. He probably doesn’t even want to see you now." "Ah..." Bai Jing suddenly screamed, her face fierce, rushing forward and slapping Zhou Guangsheng, "Then you should just die! If you die, I won’t be his fellow soldier’s wife anymore..." "You..." Zhou Guangsheng’s eyes were filled with coldness, yet he stood still. "Zhou Guangsheng, do you think I married you because I really wanted to live a good life with you? It was just that my parents pressured me so much back then. I was nagged at home every day, and out of annoyance, I just wanted to find a place to go, so I followed you." Bai Jing pointed at Zhou Guangsheng with a venomous look, her words as harsh as they could be. "But don’t you ever think that I will have feelings for you in this lifetime. You have no money, no skills, and your looks are the kind that gets lost in the crowd. Why should I, Bai Jing, fancy you?" "You..." Even if Zhou Guangsheng was usually patient, he couldn’t take these words anymore. He clenched his fists, trying to hold back, and asked her, "Have you always thought this way throughout our marriage?" "Yes, being together is just for the sake of living through the days." Bai Jing looked at Zhou Guangsheng, tilting her chin up with a provocative tone, "Over the years, I haven’t mistreated you. I’ve not only supported you but essentially supported your whole family. Every month your little salary is sent back home to the countryside, and I pay for all the household expenses. If it were another daughter-in-law, your whole family would have starved to death by now. I believe this is why even though you know I don’t like you, you still wanted to marry me." Bai Jing’s words ignited the anger in Zhou Guangsheng, rising from his feet to his brain. With his temperament, he almost choked her to death. All these years, he had doted on her like a treasure, and as a man, he had even tolerated a woman’s past. Yet she claimed that he was with her for money. Unable to hold back the volcanic eruption of rage, he roared and slapped Bai Jing across the face, "You heartless woman!" When he raised his hand for the second slap, seeing Bai Jing’s swollen face, Zhou Guangsheng stopped. He pushed her away and pointed at her, "Have you always thought this way, thinking I’m good to you because of the benefits your family brought to mine?" "Isn’t it?" Bai Jing, after being slapped, was not at all scared. Instead, she seemed somewhat excited. She glanced at Zhou Guangsheng, looked arrogantly and provocatively at him, "Without my family’s help, do you think your many siblings could live well?" After speaking, she leaned closer to Zhou Guangsheng. At that moment, her expression made Zhou Guangsheng feel that Bai Jing seemed to enjoy him hitting her, her last words deliberately provoking him to hit her. Realizing this, Zhou Guangsheng felt uneasy and thought that Bai Jing was very abnormal, unlike ordinary women. He stepped back and looked at her, forcing himself to calm down, "Bai Jing, if that’s what you think, I have nothing to say. Let’s get a divorce." He paused for a moment, then continued, "The jobs your parents helped to find for my second and third brothers in the city, they won’t do anymore. I’ll ask them to resign from the factory later. Our Zhou family might be poor, but we’re not so destitute that we need to rely on you to survive." After Zhou Guangsheng and Bai Jing got married, her parents helped Zhou Guangsheng’s two brothers find jobs in the city. One worked in a yarn factory, the other on a construction site, both as security guards, not particularly good jobs. In fact, it was just a referral. Mainly, Zhou Guangsheng’s two brothers were obedient and diligent, working steadily at the factory. After several years, the factory was considering making them semi-permanent from temporary workers.
