Chapter 563 - 561: True Nemeses
Old Zhu was truly speechless upon hearing this.
How could his future self be so stupid?
He hadn’t learned the slightest lesson from the last incident of getting injured in a bar fight.
From his current perspective, Old Zhang, after getting married, had mostly been completely controlled by Xiaoli.
He didn’t know what tactics Xiaoli had used, but one thing was sure: Old Zhang was no longer the Old Zhang he used to be.
Even if his future self had evidence, with Xiaoli’s cunning mind, she could surely find a reasonable excuse.
And then?
He’d become an idiot stirring up trouble between a married couple, right?
Thinking about all this, Old Zhu shook his head repeatedly, sighing non-stop.
Compared to Old Zhu’s disappointment and speechlessness, the people watching were quite impressed by his actions.
"Brother Zhu is awesome, truly a bro!"
"Although there was a bit too much malicious speculation before, you can’t deny that Brother Zhu is a real man!"
"Compared to Old Zhang, who always yields, Old Zhu is more about brotherhood."
"Honestly, even with video evidence, what explanation could Xiaoli possibly have?"
"What if she really finds a reasonable excuse? Wouldn’t that leave Old Zhu in a bad spot, yet again?"
"Everyone should be more careful when getting married, definitely don’t end up with someone like Xiaoli."
"If Xiaoli traveled back in time, she’d be an expert in palace scheming."
"From the stories told by the Master and Old Zhu, you can tell that Old Zhu, too, can’t stand loneliness, flirting with divorced women, going to clubs with friends, and whatnot. But Xiaoli, to manage Old Zhang post-marriage, she’s truly got skills!"
"No, no, no, I think what’s more impressive is that Xiaoli cuckolded Old Zhang, yet he still believes her."
"Isn’t that why Xiaoli’s tactics are considered brilliant?"
"With women like her, even ten of me couldn’t handle her!"
"Don’t worry, she’s not interested in you anyway."
"Wuuu... did it have to be so hurtful?"
"Old Zhang, who was once so carefree, has become a henpecked husband, even losing his childhood friends. What has marriage brought him?"
"Marriage is a grave; even if you don’t want to, you’ll end up stepping into it!"
"If you ask me, Old Zhang deserved it! He thought he was just playing around with Xiaoli but ended up caught in a trap."
"Hahaha! True enough, who told this old guy to have ill intentions from the start?"
Seeing the comments from the stream viewers, Old Zhu’s mood suddenly lifted a bit.
But even in the future, no matter how loyal he is, he can’t escape the word "stupid".
At the same time, he is intensely curious.
After sending the video evidence to Old Zhang, what would Old Zhang do?
Would he continue believing Xiaoli’s lies?
Or would he choose to divorce Xiaoli?
Lu Heng seemed to sense his thoughts, and slowly said, "After watching the video clip you sent, Old Zhang was silent for a while."
"Then, he asked you which city you were on a business trip to, and rushed over to that city overnight."
"This time, unlike the bar incident, he didn’t bring people directly to find Xiaoli."
"He quietly waited at the hotel entrance, with you by his side."
"The two of you waited a long time until Xiaoli finally came out with that young man."
"Seeing the two of them so intimate, there was no difference from before."
"Witnessing this scene, Old Zhang fell completely silent."
"He smoked several cigarettes in a row and finally took out his phone and called Xiaoli."
"During the call, Old Zhang asked what Xiaoli was doing, and Xiaoli claimed she had already gone to bed with a girlfriend."
"Upon hearing her response, Old Zhang didn’t expose her lie, merely saying ’Oh’ before hanging up."
"He let out a long breath and said ’Sorry’ to you."
"Hearing this belated apology, you were stunned, followed by a flurry of emotions."
"But given the situation, you didn’t dwell on your feelings and quickly comforted Old Zhang."
"Old Zhang kept a smile during your comforting, as if it wasn’t his wife who had cheated."
"After chatting with you for a bit, Old Zhang took a flight back overnight."
"Watching Old Zhang leave in a hurry, you couldn’t grasp what he was thinking."
"Once back from your business trip, Old Zhang acted as if nothing had happened and didn’t contact you."
"Just when you thought Xiaoli had successfully deceived Old Zhang again, Old Zhang unexpectedly called you, inviting you for a drink at a restaurant."
"When you arrived, you found Old Zhang had only invited you, no other friends."
"After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Old Zhang finally confided in you that he was ready to divorce Xiaoli."
"He admitted that for more than a month now, he hadn’t gone clubbing as he wanted to be a qualified husband and father."
"But Xiaoli’s infidelity shattered his future fantasies..."
Pausing slightly, Lu Heng sighed lightly and continued, "Old Zhang talked more and drank more."
"As you were consoling Old Zhang, he suddenly stood up from his chair."
"His eyes were bloodshot, his face full of rage."
"’I’m going to kill those adulterers!’ he said."
"Hearing this, you were shocked and tried to hold Old Zhang back."
"But Old Zhang, seemingly mad, stormed out of the restaurant."
"Seeing this, you immediately followed him, trying to prevent his drunk and impulsive actions."
"As you two struggled, Old Zhang’s anger surged."
"He slurred a warning to you, saying if you blocked him, he’d kill you too."
"You knew it was the alcohol talking, so you didn’t pay it much mind."
"After all, if you didn’t stop him and he really killed Xiaoli, his life would be ruined."
"While you were restraining Old Zhang, he lost his balance due to the struggle."
"He fell backward and hit the back of his head on the curb, immediately losing consciousness."
"You hurriedly called for an ambulance and took Old Zhang to the hospital."
"Unfortunately, Old Zhang succumbed to severe head trauma from blunt force and couldn’t be saved."
"You were arrested by the local police and charged with involuntary manslaughter, sentenced to two years in prison."
"After more than a year, you were released early, but a shadow loomed over your heart."
"It wasn’t until you were almost forty that you stepped out of that shadow and embraced a new life again..."
After recounting Old Zhu’s future ordeal, Lu Heng took a sip of Spirit Tea Water.
Old Zhu was a good man.
But for some unknown reason, he always met bad luck with Old Zhang.
Perhaps this was truly a case of destined foes!
