That night, Lin Wanyi couldn't sleep well no matter what she tried.
Her heart was filled with anxiety.
Yet she told Li Suhua that everything was fine.
She also told Liu Renzhi that everything was going smoothly.
She was afraid they would worry from thousands of miles away.
As soon as day broke, she sent a message to Wang Hao:
"Wang Hao, can you just be straightforward about this? I have to go back the day after tomorrow to accompany Keke to the parent-child sports meet.
"She has been looking forward to it for a long time. Are you really going to disappoint her?"
Wang Hao hadn't slept all night either.
He saw Lin Wanyi's messages, but he ignored them, instead rolling over to continue scrolling through videos of beautiful women.
Right now, he wasn't worried about a thing.
Because the one who wanted to get divorced as soon as possible was Lin Wanyi.
The one who wanted to go through the procedures immediately was still Lin Wanyi.
The one who wanted to leave tomorrow was still Lin Wanyi.
The one who wanted to immediately cut all ties with him was still Lin Wanyi.
Wang Hao.
He wasn't panicked at all.
He even felt that he could easily manipulate Lin Wanyi right now.
As long as he delayed the paperwork for a day, Lin Wanyi couldn't afford to offend him for a day.
She still had to swallow her pride and beg him, just like she was doing now.
That was something he couldn't have even imagined a month ago.
Thinking of this, he was thrilled to death.
He started scrolling through his phone again.
At eight o'clock, Lin Wanyi still hadn't received a reply from Wang Hao.
Lin Jiajun said,
"He's doing it on purpose, Sis. He's definitely doing it on purpose."
Lin Wanyi also knew he was doing it on purpose, but there was simply nothing she could do about him.
She could only humbly call Wang Hao.
But Wang Hao didn't answer a single one.
He looked at the word "Wife" flashing on his phone screen and curled his lips into a smirk.
Liu Chunlan ate a steamed bun, also looking very happy:
"Yes, just like that. Let her die of anxiety.
"Son, let me tell you, I was so mad last time when you signed that divorce agreement.
"I told you then, she's the one who wants a divorce, she's the one begging you.
"What are you rushing for?
"Let her make a fuss. Can a divorce be one-sided?
"If you don't agree, she absolutely can't get this divorce.
"Don't rush, just leave her hanging."
Left with no other choice, Lin Wanyi sent a message to Wu Qin:
"Sister Qin, could you help me check if Wang Hao is in Wang Family Village?"
Wu Qin replied immediately, "Are you back to get your divorce certificate?"
"Yes, but Wang Hao is hiding."
A few minutes later, Wu Qin told her:
"He's here, he's right at home.
"Wanyi, what are you going to do if he keeps refusing to go?"
Lin Wanyi had thought about this question before she came.
If worst came to worst, she would go to court and sue for divorce.
It would just be a bit more troublesome, and the time would drag on a bit longer.
Anyway, she had no plans to remarry, so she wasn't in a hurry.
She asked Lin Jiajun:
"Are we just going to go back like this?"
Lin Jiajun wanted to get it done once and for all, to avoid being entangled with Wang Hao forever.
He thought for a moment, "I'll make a trip to Wang Family Village. I'll drag Wang Hao out even if I have to tie him up."
"Don't go!"
Lin Wanyi objected.
She hated that place; she was afraid of that place.
That Wang Family Village that was like a prison cage.
But Lin Jiajun said,
"It's fine, Sis, I'll go alone.
"I'm a man, what do I have to be afraid of? Besides, haven't all those bullies and human traffickers in the village been arrested?
"There's nothing to be afraid of in their village now.
"I'll go, Sis. You wait for my news at the hotel."
After saying that, Lin Jiajun walked out the door.
But Lin Wanyi felt uneasy in her heart, so she still followed him.
Along the way, she was filled with trepidation.
She kept sending messages to Wang Hao:
"Wang Hao, we've been together for almost ten years, why does it have to end up like this?"
"Even if we divorce, we are still Keke's parents. There's no need to make things so tense."
Wang Hao was overjoyed looking at Lin Wanyi's messages.
Lying in a chair and basking in the sun, he felt incredibly wonderful.
Lin Wanyi was finally coming to beg him.
Hahaha.
Just thinking about it made his heart soar with delight.
Lin Wanyi sat in the taxi.
The closer the car got to Wang Family Village, the harder her heart pounded.
This foul village—if it weren't for the divorce, she would never have come back for the rest of her life.
She absolutely hated the people here; she hated everything about this place.
When they reached the village entrance, the driver refused to go any further:
"I'm afraid of getting lost if I go into the village. You guys should just get out here."
Lin Jiajun paid the driver double the fare and instructed him:
"Just wait here for a while, we'll take your car back."
The driver took the money and readily agreed.
As soon as Lin Wanyi got out of the car, she saw Chen Daniu's house, which had been burned beyond recognition.
Memories of Liu Siyue being abused all flooded into her mind.
Thinking of the dying Liu Siyue, Lin Wanyi took a deep breath.
She turned her head and walked away quickly, but she seemed to see a person behind the ruined walls.
She thought she had seen it wrong, and when she looked closely again, there was nothing.
She really had just seen it wrong.
Chen Guanshan and his son had both been thrown into prison.
No one would ever live in this house again.
She and Lin Jiajun walked quickly toward the Wang family's house.
But she kept feeling like a pair of eyes was staring at her.
Looking carefully, however, she couldn't see anything.
She asked Lin Jiajun:
"Do you feel like someone is following us?"
Lin Jiajun looked left and right:
"No, Sis, don't be nervous.
"In broad daylight, nothing is going to happen.
"Besides, I'm here, aren't I? Just relax."
Lin Wanyi couldn't help but worry.
She knew all too well what kind of hellhole this place was.
Moreover, there were Wang Hao and Liu Chunlan, who were determined to make things difficult for her.
Wu Qin, holding her child, was waiting early on the side of the road.
Seeing Lin Wanyi, her eyes reddened:
"Oh, I really didn't want to see you here, Wanyi. Why did you come back?"
Lin Wanyi's nose also tingled with unshed tears.
There were so many bad people in Wang Family Village, but Wu Qin was definitely not one of them.
She was someone who genuinely hoped Lin Wanyi could escape this place.
Lin Wanyi told her honestly, "Wang Hao is hiding from me. He won't go with me to do the paperwork.
"I finally made the trip here, and I don't want to run back and forth again.
"I have no other choice but to come find him and see."
Wu Qin cast a disgusted look toward the Wang house:
"I think this divorce of yours will be hard to get.
"They are clearly making things difficult for you.
"You have no idea, during the month you've been gone, Liu Chunlan has been looking everywhere for matchmakers for Wang Hao.
"I heard they even went to see a fool, but unfortunately, not a single one worked out.
"Let me tell you, they definitely regret it now and will absolutely not let you go."
Lin Wanyi knew this, but she still wanted to give it another try.
Since she was already here, if it really didn't work out, her only option was to sue.
Zhang Cuihua spat in the direction of the Wang house and told Lin Wanyi:
"If they deliberately make things difficult for you, just make a scene.
"Make it a big scene, make it so the whole village knows.
"Let's see how they can show their faces in Wang Family Village after that."
Lin Wanyi nodded.
She had made up her mind; she was definitely not here to be bullied this time.
She was here to get a divorce.
Even though she had prepared herself mentally long ago.
The closer she got to the Wang house, the harder Lin Wanyi's heart pounded.
She saw Wang Hao in the courtyard.
She saw him leisurely drinking tea and basking in the sun.
The anger in her stomach flared up instantly.
She walked into the courtyard:
"Wang Hao, what do you want? What exactly do you want?
"Why are you deliberately making things difficult for me?"
Wang Hao picked up his teacup and deliberately toasted her:
"Wife, you're finally back.
"For this past month, being alone, I really missed you so much.
"Look, my mom aired out your quilt and washed your slippers for you."
"Our whole family is waiting for you."
