Hotel lobby.
Mr. Zhou strides over to greet his wife.
Mrs. Zhou is petite, holding a puppy in her arms.
Mr. Zhou hugs both his wife and the puppy, whispering close to her ear, "Jinrong, what brings you here?"
He is eager to see her face.
Despite being married for many years, his love is still passionate!
However, Mrs. Zhou disdains him, lightly saying, "You smell of perfume, don’t hug me."
Mr. Zhou immediately lets go of her.
He rubs his hands uneasily, smiling awkwardly, "I’ll just rub it off, let me hug you, Jinrong. It’s been so long since I last held you."
He turns to the young man nearby for help, "Duonian, please plead with the madam for me!"
The young man smiles faintly and stays out of their marital issues.
Mr. Zhou can’t help but rub his hands again and steps forward to kiss his wife.
Mrs. Zhou persists, saying, "You seem to have been living quite wonderfully recently! Why would you want to kiss this shrew?"
She states seriously, "I came to city B to divorce you."
Mr. Zhou coughs uncomfortably.
He says, "It’s just a young girl! I’ll cut ties with her tomorrow."
Mrs. Zhou whispers softly, "Wait until tomorrow? That means you can’t bear to let go."
She glances at the young man, "Duonian, our trip here was in vain! Zhou has changed."
She turns around, ready to leave with the puppy!
Mr. Zhou immediately grabs her, "I’ll end it now, what’s there to hold onto!"
Mrs. Zhou just looks at him, unnerving him.
Just then, Yin Mingzhu rushes over, calling out sweetly, "Mr. Zhou!"
Mr. Zhou pretends not to know her.
Yin Mingzhu blurts out, "Are you afraid of the Tigress? Why not just divorce her?"
After speaking, she looks around to identify Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou stands there delicately and softly says, "Little did I know that my husband and his lover would talk about me like this beside the pillow."
With these words, Yin Mingzhu is stunned.
Everyone is stunned.
Mrs. Zhou turned out to be so beautiful, not the burly, unsightly woman as imagined?
Mrs. Zhou’s gaze falls on Yin Mingzhu.
She smiles lightly, "That dress is beautiful! The emeralds look quite nice too."
Yin Mingzhu suddenly feels encouraged, thinking she could compete with this woman!
Just as she is about to speak, Mr. Zhou snatches the necklace from her neck, annoyed, "What are you wearing! It irritates people!"
"Mr. Zhou!" Yin Mingzhu cries out in surprise.
Mrs. Zhou does not hold a grudge.
She tells Mr. Zhou, "Let’s go home!"
Mr. Zhou sighs and obediently follows her.
The young man opens the limousine, and Mr. Zhou carefully helps his wife into the car.
He dotes on his wife, continuously saying,
"Your health is not good, why make the trip!"
"Be careful not to bump your head! I’ll hold the puppy."
"Little darling, I’m your daddy! Say daddy!"
...
Yin Mingzhu stands there, extremely embarrassed.
On the ground, the emerald necklace is shattered.
She, though foolishly, suddenly cries out, "Mrs. Ma, it was you who framed me! You made me wear this necklace and dress on purpose!"
She is ready to fight Mrs. Ma.
Mrs. Ma gently waves her fan, laughing, "Miss Yin, you mustn’t wrongly accuse others! Earlier, you insisted it was Mr. Zhou who gave you these, why are you shifting the blame now? Besides, such precious items—I don’t own them, nor have I ever seen them."
Everyone thinks her words make sense.
After all, everyone knows Mrs. Ma’s financial situation; she simply couldn’t afford such expensive jewelry!
Yin Mingzhu loses her footing, her gaze sweeping fiercely across the room.
Song Wei pats her chest, "Oh my, that was terrifying!"
Yin Mingzhu narrows her eyes, pointing at them—
"Was it you... was it you?"
"No... it was you!"
Finally, she points at Su Ruanruan.
Su Ruanruan smiles lightly, she softly says, "Mr. Zhou always saw you as a plaything; it was you who deluded yourself into wanting to become Mrs. Zhou. Don’t say that sleeping with Mr. Zhou could replace her, even if you bore him ten sons, Mrs. Zhou’s position would never change!"
Yin Mingzhu collapses to the ground...
