Lin Jiajun's fist did not land on Wang Hao.
He was stopped by the security guards, and the manager was still trying to mediate:
"Don't be impulsive, both of you calm down. Whatever it is, we can talk it out."
"Talk what out?" Lin Jiajun was frantic.
"How can we just talk? He laid hands on my sister!
"Call the police, hurry up and call the police."
The manager heaved a huge sigh of relief:
"Oh, you're her brother. You should have said so earlier, you should have said so."
He immediately unlocked his phone:
"I'll call the police right away."
Wang Hao shouted loudly:
"Don't call the police! This is between a husband and wife, why are you calling the cops?
"Put the phone down. Who asked you to meddle in other people's business? Put..."
Before he could finish, Lin Jiajun threw a punch right at him:
"Let go, let go of her right now!
"Wang Hao, are you a fucking man?
"Hurry up and let my sister go."
Wang Hao felt the pain from the blow and finally let go of his grip.
Lin Wanyi slumped onto the sofa, gasping for air.
Unwilling to back down, Wang Hao turned around and swung at Lin Jiajun.
The two men quickly got into a scuffle.
The security guards tried to pull them apart, but the harder they tried, the more fiercely the two fought.
Her heart aching for her brother, Lin Wanyi grabbed the ashtray from the coffee table.
Catching Wang Hao off guard, she smashed it hard against his head.
Wang Hao finally stopped. Blood dripped down from the top of his head, drop by drop.
He touched it with his hand and immediately roared at Lin Wanyi:
"Lin Wanyi, I am your fucking husband! How could you hit me like that?
"How did you become so vicious? What if you actually killed me?"
Lin Wanyi quickly dropped the ashtray.
Seeing the blood continuously oozing from Wang Hao's head, she was also terrified.
She had just been too desperate moments ago.
She originally didn't want to complicate things; she only wanted to part ways with Wang Hao amicably.
But Wang Hao insisted on causing trouble.
He was deliberately picking a fight.
So Lin Wanyi couldn't just keep backing down.
She said, "You're the one who keeps pestering me, Wang Hao. All I want is a divorce.
"Why won't you just let me go?"
Wang Hao grabbed a handful of tissues to press against his wound and pointed at Lin Wanyi:
"I won't divorce you! I won't! What can you do about it?
"Lin Wanyi, we still have feelings for each other. Even if you sue, the judge won't grant it so easily.
"Think about it carefully."
There was nothing to think about. Lin Wanyi had already made up her mind to get a divorce.
She wouldn't be swayed by anything.
When the police officers arrived, Wang Hao kept clamoring:
"Officer, they hit me.
"The two of them ganged up on me. Arrest them."
Lin Jiajun hastily explained:
"It's not like that, officer. We didn't do it on purpose.
"He laid hands on my sister first.
"There are security cameras here, you can check the footage.
"And they are all witnesses, they can testify."
Lin Wanyi also quickly added:
"Officer, I really didn't mean to.
"If there's any issue, come to me. I'm the one who hit him. It has nothing to do with my brother."
Seeing Wang Hao's wound, the police's first priority was to take him to the hospital.
After his wound was bandaged, Wang Hao told Lin Wanyi:
"As long as you don't divorce me, I won't press charges against Lin Jiajun."
Lin Wanyi said firmly:
"What would you press charges against him for? I'm the one who hit you.
"Wang Hao, if you want to sue someone, sue me.
"Sue me however you want, but I must get this divorce."
"You!"
Wang Hao's face flushed red with anger:
"Lin Wanyi, even if it means going to jail, you still want a divorce?"
Lin Wanyi stood by her words:
"Wang Hao, this divorce is happening.
"And let me tell you, we aren't divorced yet. Our fight at most counts as domestic violence.
"You want to send me to jail? Impossible."
Wang Hao didn't believe it.
He insisted on going to the police station.
But at the station, the police officers said the same thing:
"You are a married couple. This is just a minor domestic dispute.
"It doesn't warrant jail time. Go home."
Wang Hao was indignant:
"She busted my head open and it's just a minor dispute?
"Officers, you can't just side with her because she's a woman."
The police officer turned serious:
"What are you talking about? If you think there's a problem with how I'm handling this, go get a medical injury report and then file a lawsuit."
Wang Hao finally fell silent.
At the entrance of the police station.
Lin Wanyi still tried to reason with him:
"Wang Hao, didn't we agree on everything a month ago?
"Why must you make things so difficult for me?"
"Make things difficult for you? Lin Wanyi, you're saying I'm making things difficult for you?"
"Aren't you?"
Lin Wanyi asked him, "If you aren't making things difficult, why won't you finalize the paperwork?
"Wang Hao, you know full well it wasn't easy for me to make this trip."
Heh.
Wang Hao sneered:
"Even now you actually say I'm making things difficult for you, when I clearly just don't want to divorce you.
"I clearly love you, Lin Wanyi. I love you."
Lin Wanyi knew there was no reasoning with him.
Lin Jiajun, who had a short temper, interjected, "Wang Hao, what exactly will it take for you to let my sister go?
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Wang Hao didn't say a single word and strode away.
Lin Wanyi's mind was a mess.
She knew this trip wouldn't be that easy; she knew Wang Hao would definitely make things difficult for her.
After thinking it over and over, she asked Lin Jiajun:
"What if I give up the child support for Keke? Do you think he'd agree then?"
She was wrong.
Wang Hao wouldn't agree no matter what she said.
He had made up his mind and absolutely would not divorce her.
Over the past month, he had come to deeply understand just how hard it would be to find another wife.
Finding one like Lin Wanyi would be even harder.
Especially since Lin Wanyi still held the six hundred thousand yuan he had impulsively given her.
Regret. He regretted it to death!
He shouldn't have given her the money. How could she cause such a fuss without money?
The money was what gave her the confidence.
It was all because he had impulsively given her so much money back then.
Wang Hao returned to Wang Family Village.
Liu Chunlan, who had already gone to sleep, immediately grew anxious when she saw his wound:
"Who hit you? Son, tell me, who hit you?"
Wang Hao sat on the sofa without uttering a word.
Wang Jianguo came out with a coat draped over his shoulders:
"Who else could it be? It's either that bitch Lin Wanyi or Lin Jiajun.
"Wang Hao, how can you be so useless? How could you not beat the two of them?"
Wang Hao took a drag from his cigarette before replying:
"I just had my guard down. I was entirely focused on dealing with Lin Jiajun. Who would have thought Lin Wanyi would smash an ashtray over me?"
"Damn it!"
Liu Chunlan paced around the room in a furious rage:
"No, is there something wrong with Lin Wanyi's head? You are her husband, and she is your wife. How could she hit you?
"And she made such a huge gash!
"This won't do, son. Tomorrow, I'm definitely going to go demand an explanation for you.
"Since when does a woman have the right to hit her husband?"
Wang Hao took another fierce drag of his cigarette:
"Don't go looking for her. She's dead set on getting the divorce papers now, and I just don't want to see her."
"So we're just going to let it go?"
Liu Chunlan was indignant. "You're just going to let her hit you for nothing?
"Son, I can't stomach this.
"I originally said that as long as she came back this time and behaved without causing trouble, I wouldn't make things hard for her.
"I didn't expect her to not only cause trouble but also hit someone.
"No way. Tomorrow, I am definitely going to teach her a good lesson."
