Lin Wanyi and Lin Jiajun left with Chen Hui.
Su Jing and Liu Jiannan accompanied Liu Siyue, while Liu Renzhi caught up with Lin Wanyi and the others.
He called out, "Jiajun."
They all stopped in their tracks. Liu Renzhi looked at Chen Hui:
"Hello, I am Siyue's older brother. I have always heard Jiajun talk about you, but we never had the chance to meet.
"Thank you for today."
Chen Hui felt embarrassed:
"Please do not take offense at what I said earlier. I am a rough person, I have not had much schooling or education, I..."
How could Liu Renzhi take offense? He could not be more grateful:
"I know you said those things on purpose. I understand your good intentions.
"I will say the same thing I told Jiajun and Wanyi before: I am their older brother, which means I am your older brother too.
"You can come to me for anything."
Chen Hui nodded, and Liu Renzhi then told Lin Jiajun:
"Everything from today has been resolved. Qin Chao signed a letter of forgiveness. He will not press charges, and you will not have a criminal record.
"Jiajun, on behalf of the Liu family, I thank you."
Liu Renzhi's formality made Lin Jiajun a bit embarrassed.
He scratched his head: "Brother, did you guys give him a lot of money to sign this? That is really letting him off easy. He still managed to extort you."
Liu Renzhi smiled: "You are overthinking it. I only paid a little for his medical bills. I relied on my fists."
Lin Jiajun instantly felt better.
On the way back, he was still happy:
"If a piece of trash like him actually got money out of this, I really would not be able to accept it. Who does he think he is?"
Lin Wanyi, however, asked Chen Hui:
"Huizi, listening to what you asked Siyue earlier, it did not sound like you were just making it up on the spot.
"Do you really think that way deep down?"
Chen Hui did not speak. Lin Jiajun chuckled:
"Sis, you do not know, she already interrogated me once at home earlier.
"She actually did not believe me. Am I the kind of person who is vain and only cares about money?
"Am I the kind of person who dates for money?"
Chen Hui rolled her eyes at him:
"Right, right, right, you are noble and keep yourself clean, you are a good person, a good person who saves people.
"I wronged you, okay?
"A grown man, stop blabbering endlessly."
Lin Wanyi also smiled and agreed: "That is right, a grown man, talk less."
Li Suhua had been waiting in the living room. It was not until she saw their car return and heard Lin Wanyi say Liu Siyue was fine that she felt relieved enough to go back to her room.
She tucked Wang Keke in, but could no longer fall asleep herself.
Liu Siyue was too pitiful, but what about Lin Wanyi?
She was not much better off than Liu Siyue.
How much injustice had she suffered all these years?
Also unable to sleep was Su Jing.
Her heart ached at the thought of Liu Siyue standing precariously on the rooftop.
She lay beside Liu Siyue, not daring to leave her side for a single moment.
On the contrary, Liu Siyue fell asleep quickly. Surprisingly, she did not have nightmares about Chen Guanshan and the others.
Because even in her dreams, she was explaining things to Chen Hui, explaining her relationship with Lin Jiajun.
Explaining that she had no other intentions at all.
She slept all the way until noon.
The first thing she wanted to do upon waking up was to find Chen Hui.
Su Jing wanted to go with her, but she refused. Su Jing was still worried, so she called Lin Jiajun:
"Jiajun, could you come pick up Yueyue? Bring Huizi along. I will order a ride for you on the app."
Lin Jiajun blurted out: "Auntie, do you even know how to order a ride?"
"Ah!"
Su Jing froze. She really did not. She had never ordered a ride-hailing car before.
Lin Jiajun laughed:
"Just kidding, Auntie. I will be right there."
Surprisingly, Chen Hui brought Liu Siyue to her workplace.
A clothing store.
Just as Liu Siyue was about to say something, Chen Hui spoke first:
"Miss, do not say anything yet. Since you are here, try on a few clothes first and help me boost my sales.
"You do not know, my sales are at the bottom this month. If a big client does not come along soon, I am going to be fired."
"Ah! Really?"
Liu Siyue was surprised: "Is selling clothes that stressful?"
"Isn't it though?"
Chen Hui picked out a huge pile of clothes for her:
"You rich girls cannot experience the hardships of us commoners. You do not know, I am miserable.
"My family favors boys over girls. I started working right after graduating from high school. My mom is always thinking about when she can sell me off for hundreds of thousands to buy a house for my younger brother.
"Sigh, let us not talk about this. Hurry up and try on these clothes. I think they will look great on you."
"Really?"
Liu Siyue took the clothes: "There are so many."
"Yes, hurry up and try them on. If they fit, buy them all, hahaha, I will not have to worry about my sales this month."
Liu Siyue really went to try on the clothes. Chen Hui sent a message to Lin Jiajun and Lin Wanyi:
"Just you wait, I will definitely keep her happy today, and she can genuinely boost my sales while she is at it."
Liu Siyue tried on outfit after outfit, doing so sincerely.
After returning, Su Jing would always take her shopping to cheer her up.
But back then, she was not in the mood; she had no mood to buy anything.
But today, she genuinely tried them on one by one.
On one hand, she felt bad for causing trouble for Chen Hui, and on the other hand, she genuinely wanted to help her.
She originally said she did not need to try them on and would just buy them all.
But Chen Hui disagreed, saying: "I have to be responsible for the clothes I sell.
"You have money, but I cannot scam you, right?
"These clothes are super expensive, I cannot just sell them to you blindly.
"Try them on properly, and buy the ones that fit. I will give you some advice."
While Liu Siyue was earnestly trying on clothes, Lin Wanyi was looking at the calendar, feeling anxious.
The one-month period was almost up. She did not know if getting the divorce certificate would go smoothly.
Li Suhua said: "It is better to have Jiajun go with you. Otherwise, I really will not feel at ease.
"That family is no good, and I am also worried Wang Hao will change his mind."
Lin Wanyi thought about it and agreed, though she was afraid of affecting Jiajun's ability to make money.
Lin Jiajun laughed out loud: "Sis, what are you afraid of?
"Am I short of money right now? Not at all, okay?
"I definitely have to go with you, otherwise I am afraid they will eat you alive."
Wang Hao was also looking at the calendar. He was still living in the Grand Court Hotel, living a life of intoxication with a different woman every day.
In just one short month, he had already spent seventy or eighty thousand of the five hundred thousand he got from the divorce.
But he did not panic at all. He still had over five hundred thousand left, enough for him to spend for several years.
Liu Chunlan called him:
"Have you found a job yet? Is your cooling-off period almost over?
"Is that wretched bitch coming back too?
"Son, Mom thought about it, and I still think that wretched bitch is suitable for you. After all, you have been together for so many years.
"Forget it, I will reluctantly forgive her. Do not get that divorce certificate, I will let her come back.
"Do you hear me? You are not allowed to get the certificate."
Wang Hao had no intention of getting the certificate either. This month, he had thought about it; Lin Wanyi was still pretty good.
Although having a different woman every day was comfortable, spending money was also comfortable.
Two or three thousand a day, two or three thousand a day, nobody could squander it like that.
He thought it through. While Lin Wanyi was away, he would enjoy this month first.
When she came back, he would return to the family and continue living as if nothing had happened.
Yes, just like that.
After this past month, Lin Wanyi must have finally tasted the bitter reality of living without a husband. She will definitely regret it.
She is bound to come back crying and begging.
