Chen Zheng had no reaction to these words whatsoever; he simply said calmly, "Throw him out."

"Understood!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than Zhao Feng walked straight toward Gao Wuchang.

"You damned dog, do I look like..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a loud slap landed on his face. He forcibly swallowed the rest of his words and went out like a light. Then, he was carried out by Zhao Feng and tossed outside like a dead dog.

Up until this moment, Sun Yan and Wei Zixuan both wore shocked expressions.

A casual slap had actually knocked Gao Wuchang out? Wasn't that a bit too much?

"Zixuan, I think there are some things we really need to talk about," Chen Zheng said, slowly pulling out a chair and sitting down.

"Chen Zheng, what are you doing?" Sun Yan looked completely panicked. "Do you have any idea who Young Master Gao is? He's a director of the Association, and his uncle is the president!"

"You laid a hand on one of their people. Aren't you afraid of their revenge?"

Sun Yan immediately became frantic and enraged. After all, the trouble with Gao Wuchang had happened in her coffee shop. If the Association decided to place blame, she would be in for it, too.

"What happens here has nothing to do with you. Get the hell out," Chen Zheng said coldly.

"Are you asking to be thrown out, too?" Zhao Feng threatened calmly from the side.

"You..." Sun Yan was immediately scared out of her wits and dared not utter another word. If she really got thrown out, she would lose face completely.

"Zixuan, I need to explain what happened before..."

"Enough!" Just as Chen Zheng began to speak, Wei Zixuan interrupted him with a wave of her hand.

"You don't need to explain anything, and I don't want to hear it right now. If there's nothing else, please leave."

"Don't disturb my life again," Wei Zixuan said, her voice icy.

"Zixuan, we're husband and wife. Is there anything we can't talk through? I know... I wasn't very good before..."

"You were great. Everything you did was great. It's all my fault," Wei Zixuan cut him off again with a wave of her hand. "I don't have the wealth and power of Miss Yuan, nor do I have the gentle and virtuous demeanor of Wang Xue. On top of that, I have an unreasonable mother whom you've had enough of."

"Actually, I've always thought so myself. How could I be so awful, so awful that I'd fall for someone like you?"

"So, we need to reconsider our relationship," Wei Zixuan's expression was extremely cold. Most of what she said were the exact words Chen Zheng had uttered on the rooftop that day. She remembered every single one.

Chen Zheng was suddenly at a loss for words.

This woman's memory is astounding.

"Madam, actually, the words the War God said that day were the opposite..." Zhao Feng couldn't stand it any longer and tried to explain on behalf of Chen Zheng.

"The opposite?" Wei Zixuan chuckled lightly. "Since he was able to say them, it means that's what he truly thought. There is no opposite."

"Chen Zheng, we may have been married for many years, but I really can't see through you. I'm very tired now, and I don't want to try and understand any of this," Wei Zixuan said, turning away as tears streamed down her face. "If there's nothing else, please leave. Let's give each other one last bit of respect."

"Chen Zheng..."

"Can't you see where this conversation has gone? Why are you still shamelessly sticking around?" Sun Yan piped up again. "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you know some clumsy martial arts."

"If you dare to threaten Zixuan, I'll hire the best lawyer to put you away for good. You'll never see the light of day again!"

Upon hearing these words, Chen Zheng clenched his fists, but he soon slowly relaxed them.

"Alright then..."

"I'll leave for now. Once you've had time to cool off, we can talk about other things," Chen Zheng said, shaking his head slowly before standing up.

Zhao Feng draped a cloak over his shoulders, and they left, one after the other.

"He's just a useless piece of trash. What can he do besides beating people up?"

"Zixuan, that man isn't just useless, I think he has a tendency for domestic violence. You need to divorce him as soon as possible. Don't keep that dead weight around!"

"If it comes to it, let's just get a lawyer. These kinds of things can be handled through legal channels," Sun Yan said fiercely.

"Alright, alright..."

"I know how to handle this. You don't need to meddle," Wei Zixuan said, wiping the tears from her eyes. She then suddenly remembered something. "About that job I mentioned before..."

"Don't worry, I've already talked it over with my husband. You can report to his company tomorrow. Their company is working on something called the 'Xixi' project."

"It seems they're very busy, so you can immerse yourself in work right away. It'll be a good way to distract yourself," Sun Yan said with a sigh, not pressing the matter further.

「Meanwhile.」

A major shake-up was unfolding in the entertainment circles of Jiangnan.

The popular young idol Fan Xukun had been completely blacklisted!

He was the first person to be utterly banned by the Starshine Entertainment Group. If it were some ordinary person, it wouldn't have caused such a stir. The key point was that this Fan Xukun had another significant identity: he was the younger brother of Fan Xuwang, the CEO of Starshine Entertainment Group.

He was the second young master of the Fan Family, one of the four great families of Jiangnan.

Because of this, everyone couldn't help but suspect that the Fan Family must have grievously offended some top-tier powerhouse to have met with such a fate.

All at once, the artists at the company sensed the danger and fell into a panic. This was no laughing matter. Although the Starshine Group was a formidable presence in Jiangnan, it was just small fry in the capital, Kyoto.

The consequences of this massive turmoil were immediate. Starshine Group's stock plummeted, and several stars who had been preparing to sign contracts began to have second thoughts.

The entire Fan Family was thrown into chaos, scrambling to deal with the matter. Although Fan Xuwang, the CEO of Starshine Group, reacted swiftly with a public statement that his brother Fan Xukun was taking a temporary break from all public appearances due to health issues, it did little to quell the situation.

However, the ban order was genuine, and the news still spread like wildfire. After much deliberation, Fan Xuwang concluded that someone was targeting the Fan Family. He immediately began trying to leverage his connections in Kyoto.
