Liu Chunlan did not argue with her:
"Yes, I admit you are a good daughter-in-law, Wanyi. I have always admitted that.
"You and Haohao have been married for eight years, and you have a daughter together.
"It is not like you two have no feelings for each other, so why let things get to this point?
"I did not come here today to settle old scores. I just want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart.
"Lin Wanyi, you are a woman. You are different from Haohao.
"Divorced women are looked down upon; everyone will view you through colored glasses.
"Don't be stubborn. Come back and live a good life.
"Let's just go back to how things were, okay?
"We have argued and fought in the past, but that is all over now. Let's just forget about it.
"I won't hold it against you."
How could that be possible?
Before Lin Wanyi could speak, Lin Jiajun spoke up first:
"Impossible. You are overthinking it, old lady.
"There is no way my sister is going back. This divorce is happening."
Liu Chunlan still did not get angry this time. She looked at Lin Jiajun:
"You are still too young. Do you really think your sister can find a decent man?
"Do you think a man like Liu Renzhi would actually fall for your sister?
"You are thinking too much. I have been through this. He only feels gratitude toward her. Don't read too much into it."
Lin Wanyi did not want to listen anymore. She said:
"Go back. I don't need you worrying about my affairs, but there is no way my marriage with Wang Hao will continue.
"Don't come looking for me again."
Wang Meijuan was displeased:
"Lin Wanyi, don't be so shameless when you are being given face. My mom has already lowered herself to beg you.
"Don't think that Liu Renzhi has actually taken a fancy to you.
"He is just looking for a momentary thrill.
"Only Wang Hao truly treats you well and treasures you.
"Lin Wanyi, without Wang Hao, you are nothing.
"I advise you to think carefully about who has been supporting you these past few years."
Lin Wanyi did not even want to look at her. She pulled the door open:
"Get out. Did you hear me?"
At the police station, Liu Renzhi saw Wang Hao wrapped in bandages.
He did not take Wang Hao seriously at all.
But Wang Hao was clamoring:
"Officer, put him in jail! You have to put him in jail.
"He hit me, and I won't settle this out of court."
Liu Renzhi did not say a single word; his lawyer had already handled the procedures for him.
Wang Hao could only watch helplessly as he walked out of the police station.
He refused to accept this.
He stepped forward to block Liu Renzhi:
"What are you so arrogant about? You just have money.
"Liu Renzhi, I am Lin Wanyi's husband. I have been married to her for eight years.
"I slept with her for eight years.
"Her first time was mine. We used to do it every day, sometimes even twice a day.
"Can you imagine that? Can you understand that feeling?
"You can't, you never will.
"You can only pick up my used secondhand goods. Liu Renzhi, you can only have my leftovers.
"What do you have to be so arrogant about? What makes you so high and mighty?"
Liu Renzhi's fists cracked as he clenched them.
Previously, he only disliked Wang Hao, thinking he wasn't a real man.
But now, he truly wanted to kill him, to kill him right this instant.
Watching Liu Renzhi's expression, Wang Hao knew he had taken the bait.
He was truly angry.
Or more accurately, he was jealous.
Hahahaha.
It was absolutely hilarious.
A little homewrecker like him actually had the right to be jealous.
Unheard of.
Thinking of this, he spoke with even more vigor:
"Liu Renzhi, have you and Lin Wanyi done it yet?
"Doesn't it disgust you? She lies there like a dead fish, do you really enjoy that?"
Wang Hao stared at Liu Renzhi as he spoke.
He was deliberately trying to provoke Liu Renzhi, wanting him to strike again.
As long as he threw a punch, Wang Hao would immediately call the police and have him locked up again.
Let's see how awesome Liu Renzhi's lawyer was and how many times he could bail him out.
However, Liu Renzhi did not fall for his trick.
He gave Wang Hao a cold glare and strode away.
He was very frustrated.
Frustrated because of Wang Hao's words.
He did not return to the hospital immediately, but instead booked a room nearby.
Freezing water poured over his head.
His rationality slowly returned.
He told himself not to overthink things.
It was best for him and Lin Wanyi to maintain their previous distance.
Because Lin Wanyi wasn't willing.
She would rather die than be willing.
The thought that she would rather stab herself than let him be her antidote made Liu Renzhi's heart even more troubled.
In the hospital ward, Lin Wanyi was waiting anxiously.
Liu Renzhi had been gone for two hours, and she had no idea what was happening over there.
After thinking about it, she decided to make a call.
She thought no one would answer, but to her surprise, the call went through.
"Brother Liu."
She asked anxiously:
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I'll be right back."
Liu Renzhi shook the messy thoughts from his head as he put on his clothes:
"Wait for me."
Lin Wanyi gripped her phone and told Lin Jiajun:
"Jiajun, after we go back, we should still keep our distance from Brother Liu and the others.
"We are people from two completely different worlds to begin with."
Lin Jiajun was a bit confused:
"Sis, did something happen between you and Brother Liu?"
"No."
Lin Wanyi answered quickly.
"Then why?"
Lin Jiajun couldn't understand:
"Brother Liu cares about you so much. This time, he dropped his company and his contracts to come find you for your safety.
"Seeing you hurt, he was even more worried and angry than I was.
"Why do you want to distance yourself from him?"
Lin Wanyi looked out the window and said:
"We were always people from two different worlds. When we helped Siyue back then, we never expected their family to be so wealthy.
"After going back, Aunt Su bought you a house and gave us a bride price; we have already received too much.
"And I even got a good job out of this.
"Jiajun, this is enough. If we get too close to them, it will make us look like we don't know our place.
"After all, they treat us as their benefactors. If we don't distance ourselves, they are even less likely to cut ties on their own initiative, right?"
Lin Jiajun couldn't quite wrap his head around it. He had never considered himself a benefactor.
Nor had he ever used this matter to blackmail the Liu family.
He just felt that everything had progressed naturally.
But since Lin Wanyi said so, he agreed:
"I understand. I won't go bother them in the future unless it's necessary."
Liu Renzhi stood outside the door for a long time.
He heard their conversation.
His heart ached, and he wanted to immediately question Lin Wanyi.
Why keep their distance?
But he held back.
Years of maintaining his composure allowed him to suppress the fire in his heart.
He knocked on the door:
"Everything is taken care of. Let's go."
Lin Wanyi looked him up and down, and Lin Jiajun hurriedly asked:
"Did that bastard Wang Hao give you a hard time?"
Liu Renzhi smiled:
"He wanted to, but he doesn't have what it takes.
"He can't make things difficult for me."
After speaking, he reached out to support Lin Wanyi:
"Let's go. I'm taking you to see someone so you can vent your anger!"
