Lin Wanyi stepped back, avoiding his hand.
She said, "Jiajun, help me up."
Lin Jiajun hurried over.
Liu Renzhi's eyes darkened, and he stepped back in disappointment to pick up the bags.
But before they could get in the car, they saw Wang Hao in the corridor.
Lin Jiajun was extremely annoyed, shielding Lin Wanyi behind him:
"Wang Hao, why do you haunt us like a ghost?
"As a grown man, can't you just be straightforward and finalize the divorce?"
Wang Hao looked at him with a half-smile:
"What do you want? Want me to divorce her to make room for that homewrecker Liu Renzhi?
"Lin Jiajun, I didn't expect you to be the kind of person who despises the poor and curries favor with the rich.
"Is it just because Liu Renzhi has more money than me?
"But I am your brother-in-law."
"Get lost!"
Lin Jiajun completely rejected this: "You guys are divorced, you have nothing to do with my sister anymore.
"Wang Hao, have some self-awareness."
Wang Hao stopped looking at Lin Jiajun and stared at Lin Wanyi:
"Wanyi, honey, if you don't want to live in Wangjia Village, I'll go back to your parents' house with you.
"We can stay there together for a while.
"Keke must miss me too, she even called me.
"Wife, let me go back with you. I said from the beginning that I could marry into your family."
Lin Wanyi thought he was crazy:
"Wang Hao, are you crazy? I won't let you go to my house.
"My mom wouldn't want to see you either.
"Can you please stop appearing in front of me?
"I'm begging you, I'm begging you, please?"
Wang Hao leaned closer:
"What are you saying? You're my wife, how could I not appear in front of you?
"Wife, one day as husband and wife means a hundred days of grace.
"You can't just sleep with me and then turn your back on me."
Lin Wanyi's face flushed red, and she begged Wang Hao:
"Stop it, let me go, I'm begging you to let me go, okay?"
How could Wang Hao stop? He spoke even louder, intentionally wanting Liu Renzhi to hear:
"Wife, we've been married for eight years. I know what positions you like, I know how to make you feel good.
"I know how many moles you have down there.
"Wife, you are mine.
"Wherever you are from now on, I will be there. I will never let you leave me."
Lin Wanyi kept her head down:
"Stop, Wang Hao, stop talking.
"Let me go."
A storm brewed in Liu Renzhi's eyes, but Wang Hao continued to provoke him:
"What? Jealous? Envious?
"Liu Renzhi, she's my wife, the wife I've slept with for eight years.
"What right or standing do you have to be jealous?
"Do you want to beat me to death? Come on.
"Come on, I'll stand right here and let you hit me. Hit me, hit me.
"If you don't do it, I'll look down on you."
Liu Renzhi really couldn't hold back anymore; he was truly enraged by Wang Hao.
Just as he was about to throw a punch, Lin Wanyi suddenly grabbed his hand:
"Brother Liu, don't be angry. He's doing it on purpose.
"He's saying those things just to make you mad. Don't fall for his trick.
"He just wants to send you to the police station again."
Touched by Lin Wanyi, Liu Renzhi's body almost stiffened.
He withdrew his fist aimed at Wang Hao and turned to support Lin Wanyi:
"Okay, let's go."
Seeing that his provocation failed, Wang Hao jumped up and tried to pull Lin Wanyi:
"You can't leave! We're not divorced yet, you can't leave.
"Lin Wanyi, you can't leave me."
Lin Wanyi instinctively stuck her foot out to block him, but unexpectedly, Wang Hao's foot kicked right onto her leg.
A piercing pain shot straight to her heart.
Fresh blood once again stained her pants red.
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she gritted her teeth tightly.
When Liu Renzhi saw this, without a word, he picked Lin Wanyi up and carried her back to the hospital room.
The doctor was busy bandaging her again:
"You people, why were you in such a rush to be discharged?
"Couldn't you wait until the wound healed?"
Liu Renzhi lowered his head, listening to the doctor's scolding, while Lin Jiajun stood outside the door blocking the crazed Wang Hao.
Lin Jiajun couldn't understand:
"Wang Hao, you don't treat my sister well, yet you won't let her go.
"Did you marry her just to torture her?
"Do you think this is interesting?"
Wang Hao finally lowered his head.
He thought for a moment, then shouted into the hospital room:
"Lin Wanyi, I didn't mean it.
"Get some good rest, I'll come see you tomorrow."
He walked out of the hospital in a daze, where Liu Chunlan was waiting for him outside:
"How did it go, son? Have you guys talked it out?"
Wang Hao shook his head:
"Mom, if it really doesn't work out, let's just get a divorce. I can see she has absolutely no feelings for me anymore.
"There's no point in dragging this on.
"Because of this, I'm annoyed every day, and I don't even have the mood to look for a job.
"If this keeps up, I'll be completely ruined."
"Divorce, divorce, divorce what? If you divorce, where are you going to find someone like her?"
Liu Chunlan was full of anger:
"Last month, I talked to the matchmakers until my mouth was sore, and none of them worked out.
"If it were easy to find someone, I wouldn't be begging Lin Wanyi like this, having to look at her sour face.
"Son, a real man knows when to yield and when to stand tall. Between a husband and wife, what's the point of pride?
"Bow your head when you need to, beg when you need to. What are you afraid of?"
"But she won't even see me now, what can I do?
"Mom, how about you give me those hundreds of thousands in savings, and I'll just find a younger woman."
Liu Chunlan's eyes flickered: "What hundreds of thousands? Where would I get hundreds of thousands?
"Son, you're overthinking it. I don't have that much money at all."
"Mom!"
Wang Hao frowned:
"At a time like this, are you still thinking of giving that money to my older brother?
"Let me tell you, even if you give it all to him, they won't take care of you in your old age.
"After all these years, the only one you can rely on is me."
"No."
Liu Chunlan quickly explained: "Mom really doesn't have much money.
"Mom isn't lying to you. Out of my three kids, I love you the most, and everything of mine will be yours in the future.
"Don't worry, I know exactly who treats me well."
Wang Hao felt displeased. He genuinely thought that if Lin Wanyi really wanted a divorce, he'd just have Liu Chunlan pay for him to marry another woman.
But Liu Chunlan was like a stingy iron rooster; he couldn't pluck a single feather from her.
He was annoyed to death.
Then he remembered Lin Wanyi and Liu Renzhi being together.
He immediately took out his phone and contacted the woman from the past few times.
He figured, if Lin Wanyi didn't want him, plenty of women would, as long as he had money.
Women were everywhere.
After bandaging Lin Wanyi again, the doctor instructed her:
"You must absolutely not get injured again, otherwise if the wound gets infected, amputation is possible."
"Amputation?"
Lin Jiajun repeated: "Is it that serious?"
The doctor said while packing up his things:
"What do you think?"
Lin Jiajun looked at Lin Wanyi:
"Sis, what were you thinking back then? Why did you insist on stabbing yourself?
"Is there anything more important than your life?
"I really don't get you."
Suddenly asked this by Lin Jiajun, Lin Wanyi thought of that night again.
If she hadn't stabbed herself, she definitely would have thrown herself at Liu Renzhi.
She didn't regret it; even now, she had no regrets.
If she had actually forced herself on Liu Renzhi back then, she'd probably feel worse now than she did from the stab wound.
It couldn't happen, it could never happen.
