Tang Guixiang was still cursing:
What a cheap tramp. You knew perfectly well that Jiajun and Huizi are getting married, yet you still came back to your maiden home?
Lin Wanyi, they are getting married, and you are getting a divorce. Does that even look right?
I was wondering why my Huizi suddenly became so disobedient. She was never like this before.
I met a master today, and he said it was you causing trouble.
It is you, this troublemaking sister-in-law, who is behind all this.
Tang Guixiang grew angrier as she spoke, while Lin Wanyi touched her red, slapped cheek in silence.
She wanted to retort, but that was Chen Hui's mother.
Her sister-in-law's mother.
What could she say?
She could not ruin her brother's marriage just for a moment of satisfaction.
She could not make things difficult for Lin Jiajun, let alone Chen Hui.
But the more silent she was, the more arrogant Tang Guixiang became.
She raised her hand to strike Lin Wanyi again:
You disgraceful thing! If I were you, I would hurry back to my in-laws' house.
Or take your little burden and quickly find another man to marry.
You just cannot stay in your maiden home and ruin your brother and sister-in-law's lives, do you understand?
Lin Wanyi remained silent and dodged Tang Guixiang's attack.
She was evading, but Tang Guixiang thought Lin Wanyi was using her silence to provoke her.
She took a step forward and suddenly grabbed Lin Wanyi's hair:
You cheap thing! Once that house is renovated, give it to Huizi immediately. You are not allowed to live there, do you hear me?
Otherwise, I will make you pay.
Her hair was pulled so hard it hurt.
But Lin Wanyi nodded:
Okay, Auntie, do not worry. I will not steal Huizi's house.
Tang Guixiang finally left proudly, like she had won a battle.
Hah!
Dare to fight with her? She would never win.
Zhao Yulan seized the opportunity to comfort Lin Wanyi:
See? Your eldest aunt did not lie to you.
It is really inconvenient for you to live in your maiden home with a child like this.
Your mother will not kick you out, and Jiajun will not either.
But what about Chen Hui?
Think about it carefully. Do you think Tang Guixiang came here on her own?
I am telling you, Chen Hui must have asked her to come. They are mother and daughter, mother and daughter!
Tang Guixiang says all the things that Chen Hui finds inconvenient to say. Think about it, is not that the truth?
Lin Wanyi finally returned to her room. She sat in front of the mirror, looking at her disheveled hair.
And her red, swollen face.
Tears slowly slid down her cheeks.
Why was it so hard?
She originally thought that getting a divorce and leaving the Wang family and Wang Family Village would make everything better.
But why could things never go as she wished?
She could not live in Lin Jiajun's house anymore.
If she shamelessly moved in, who knows how much trouble it would cause in the future.
Most importantly, her own marriage was already unhappy; she did not want to cast a shadow over Lin Jiajun and Chen Hui's marriage because of her.
It could not be like this.
Chen Hui was a good person, and she could not become a burden to them.
She opened her phone again and looked at the old house she had bookmarked last time.
She had been hesitating before, but now it seemed she could not hesitate any longer.
No matter what, a person should always have their own house.
It did not matter if it was secondhand; what mattered was that it had to be her own.
Only then would she have confidence and not be slapped by someone at any moment.
She left her phone number on the webpage.
A short while later, she saw someone add her on WeChat. Thinking it was the real estate agent, she immediately accepted.
But after accepting, she realized it was not the agent, but Zhao Yulan's eldest nephew, Zhao Delin.
He quickly sent a few photos. He looked like an ordinary person, not exactly pleasing to the eye, but not annoying either.
Since she had already accepted his request, Lin Wanyi politely said:
Hello.
Zhao Delin replied immediately:
My aunt has been praising you in front of me, and my parents have been rushing me.
I was wondering, if you do not mind, could we meet up?
Lin Wanyi refused, speaking honestly:
I am sorry, I do not think my eldest aunt made it clear to you.
I have not gotten divorced yet. Strictly speaking, I am still married.
That is okay.
Zhao Delin seemed genuinely unbothered:
My aunt told me. She said you are filing for a divorce.
Your marriage will end sooner or later. We can try to keep in touch first. There is no rush, take your time.
He was not pushy, and Lin Wanyi could not bring herself to be harsh to someone being so friendly.
But she still said:
I am not considering remarrying, I am sorry.
I have also told my eldest aunt this many times. I guess she did not tell you.
After sending the message, Lin Wanyi continued looking at houses.
Relying on a man was never as good as relying on oneself.
Since she had brought her daughter out with her, she had to give her a better life.
She could not let her daughter wander aimlessly with her.
Su Jing looked at the fruit on the table and asked the maid:
Why did you buy so much at once? It will not be fresh if left for too long.
The maid hurriedly explained:
Oh, these fruits were brought by Miss Lin.
Miss Lin? Lin Wanyi?
The maid answered, Yes.
She just brought fruit? Why did she not come in?
No, ma'am. Miss Lin said she came to see the young miss, but she was called away by Secretary Zhou in the courtyard.
Su Jing frowned slightly.
Just then, she saw Liu Renzhi return, so she told him everything:
Son, what do you think Chenyu would say to Wanyi after taking her away?
I have a feeling it would not be anything good.
Do you want to ask Wanyi about it?
Liu Renzhi nodded, Okay, I will go check on Siyue first. Mom, do not worry so much.
I am here.
How could she not worry?
Su Jing looked at Liu Renzhi's back.
This poor child.
He lost his father at a young age, and his mother considered him a burden.
Although Su Jing had treated him with all her heart over the years, she could still feel Liu Renzhi's loneliness.
Because they were not blood-related, Liu Renzhi had almost never been rebellious growing up.
He listened to whatever Su Jing said, except when it came to marriage.
Su Jing could not force him.
She shook her head and sighed.
When would he be able to untie the knot in his heart?
When would he be able to stop being so sensible, just like other children?
Liu Siyue sat on the bed in a daze.
Ever since her fever, her head had felt groggy.
It was as if she had forgotten many things, yet also as if she had not forgotten anything at all.
When Liu Renzhi walked in, he saw her empty eyes.
He was a bit worried and tried to say:
Yueyue, your birthday is in a few days. Whatever gift you want, your big brother will buy it for you.
Liu Siyue snapped out of her daze:
Is my birthday coming soon?
Liu Renzhi sat on the edge of her bed:
Yes, just a few days away. What do you want?
Liu Siyue suddenly said:
Big brother, I have a boyfriend. He has always wanted me to introduce him to you all.
How about I let him come to the house on my birthday?
Boyfriend?
Liu Renzhi's heart trembled:
What is his name?
Qin Chao, big brother. He is my college classmate and very outstanding.
Although his family's financial situation is not good, he is very ambitious and smart.
You guys will definitely like him.
Who?
Liu Renzhi thought he had misheard:
Who did you say your boyfriend is?
Liu Siyue did not understand why Liu Renzhi had such a huge reaction:
Big brother, do you know him? You guys have never met before.
We have been dating for almost two years. He pursued me.
I felt it was not stable before, so I never brought him home.
But now we are both about to graduate.
I think it is time to bring him back to meet you all, and also arrange a job for him in the company.
"Bro, is everything okay?"
