Wang Hao was furious.
He raised his fist and smashed it toward Zhao Delin:
"Get lost! Get the hell out of here!
"I haven't even divorced Lin Wanyi yet, who the hell do you think you are?
"Get out!"
Zhao Delin didn't hear what Wang Hao said; he only felt a sharp, sour pain in his nose.
Reaching up to touch it, his hand came away covered in blood.
He exploded with anger and immediately fought back, grappling with Wang Hao.
Both of them fought ruthlessly, neither willing to let the other off.
Inside the house, Lin Wanyi heard the commotion and came out, thinking she was seeing things.
She turned to look at Lin Jiajun:
"Wang Hao, Jiajun, that's Wang Hao."
Lin Jiajun held her shoulders:
"Yes, sis, he really came, but don't be afraid.
"Look, someone is taking care of him for you."
Seeing Lin Wanyi, Wang Hao yelled while still fighting:
"Wanyi, honey, I've come looking for you."
Lin Wanyi suddenly felt the world spinning around her.
Wang Hao, he was here.
He really came!
Over there, Zhao Yulan and the others also heard the noise.
Ma Jinhua slapped her thigh and shouted:
"Stop it, you damned bastard, stop it right now!
"Who are you, and what gives you the right to hit my son?"
Zhao Yulan's eyes widened too; she never expected Wang Hao to actually show up.
She told Ma Jinhua:
"That's Wanyi's ex-husband, Wang Hao."
"Huh?"
Ma Jinhua never thought it would be Lin Wanyi's ex-husband.
She screamed at Lin Wanyi:
"Lin Wanyi, pull them apart, pull them apart right now!
"Stop fighting, everyone stop fighting!
"Stop it!"
Lin Wanyi couldn't hear anything; she was breaking out in a cold sweat and trembling all over.
Sensing something was wrong, Lin Jiajun supported her and immediately took her back to her room.
Li Suhua quickly fed her a cup of hot water.
Outside the door, it was still noisy and chaotic.
Wang Hao was shouting, "Wanyi, honey."
Ma Jinhua was yelling:
"Zhao Qing, come help, help our son!"
Everywhere was a chaotic mess.
Finally, Wang Hao was defeated by the Zhao father and son.
He was kicked to the ground by Zhao Delin and couldn't even get up.
But he didn't spare a glance at Zhao Delin; he just shouted loudly toward the house:
"Wanyi, honey, I've come looking for you.
"Jiajun, come help me up."
Lin Jiajun had no time for him at all, and Li Suhua simply slammed the door shut.
Let them fight.
Keep fighting.
Let them beat each other to death!
Neither of them were good people anyway.
Lin Wanyi was sweating profusely, her mind once again filled with Wang Hao's face and voice:
"Honey, I'm here. Honey, I've come looking for you.
"Honey, let's go home together."
She covered her ears and screamed:
"Don't come near me, Wang Hao, stay away from me."
Li Suhua hurriedly brought Lin Wanyi her medicine:
"Open your mouth, Wanyi, open your mouth.
"You'll feel better once you take this."
Lin Wanyi obediently opened her mouth, drank some water, and swallowed the pills.
Over ten minutes later, she calmed down.
Li Suhua lovingly brushed aside the sweat-soaked hair on her forehead:
"Wanyi, you need to be strong yourself.
"Don't let Wang Hao affect you. You still have your mother and brother; we're not afraid of him."
A wave of guilt washed over Lin Wanyi.
Her mother was already so old, yet she still had to worry and be frightened because of her, and even had to take care of her emotions.
She struggled to sit up straight, wiped away the sweat on her body, and changed into a clean set of clothes.
Finally, she stood behind the door.
Outside, Wang Hao was still knocking on the door, and Ma Jinhua was still shouting:
"Call the police, I'm calling the police to have this man locked up.
"What gives him the right to hit my son?"
Wang Hao roared:
"You ask what gives me the right? Lin Wanyi is my wife! What kind of nonsense was he spouting just now?
"He wants to be my daughter's father? Bah! I'm not dead yet.
"What right does he have to be my daughter's father?
"Didn't he deserve to be beaten?"
Ma Jinhua shouted toward the house:
"Lin Wanyi, this isn't over. I'm telling you, this isn't over!
"Open the door right now! You must compensate my son."
Lin Wanyi took a deep breath. Just as she was about to open the door, Li Suhua stopped her:
"Don't go, Mom will go."
She pulled the door open, and Lin Jiajun shoved Wang Hao away.
Wang Hao peered through the doorway:
"Wanyi, Wanyi, I'm here.
"Come out, Wanyi."
No one paid him any attention, so he shouted again:
"Keke, Daddy's here.
"Keke, do you miss Daddy?"
Still, no one paid him any attention.
Lin Jiajun blocked his way:
"Wang Hao, who asked you to come? My sister has already divorced you. She has nothing to do with you anymore.
"Stop pestering her. You're a grown man, can't you just let it go clean and simple?"
Wang Hao didn't listen at all:
"Divorce? Since when did we get divorced?
"Did I agree? Did I sign anything? Did we get the papers?
"Jiajun, whether you admit it or not, legally speaking, I am still your brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law my ass. I don't care if you got the papers or not, my sister has already found a lawyer.
"Wang Hao, don't be so shameless. It's embarrassing, you know?"
Wang Hao didn't care. He knew that coming here this time wouldn't mean he could easily take Lin Wanyi away.
He knew they would make things as difficult as possible for him.
He had mentally prepared himself for this long ago.
No matter what the Lin family did, he wouldn't get angry; he could endure it all.
After all, during the few months Lin Wanyi had been gone, he had truly been going crazy.
His home didn't feel like a home, and work wasn't going smoothly either.
And the harsh reality was that he would never find another woman like Lin Wanyi.
He wouldn't find one even if he spent hundreds of thousands.
So he couldn't let Lin Wanyi go; he had to hold onto her tightly.
He had to grab onto her at any given opportunity.
Ma Jinhua was questioning Li Suhua:
"He's Lin Wanyi's ex-husband, right? He inexplicably beat my son up like this, how is he going to take responsibility?
"Li Suhua, you tell me, what are we going to do?
"How much should you compensate us?"
Li Suhua said irritably:
"Your son wasn't beaten by my daughter, let alone my son.
"Why are you looking for me? Aren't you being ridiculous?"
Ma Jinhua was indignant:
"He's your son-in-law! How can it have nothing to do with you?
"Hurry up and tell me, how much are you going to pay?"
Li Suhua laughed:
"Wang Hao, they're asking you for compensation.
"You better pay up, or they'll send you to jail."
How could Wang Hao possibly pay up? He didn't even glance at Zhao Delin, continuing to shout toward the room:
"Wanyi, Keke!"
Ma Jinhua was infuriated by his attitude, gripping her phone:
"Police, I'm calling the police."
Li Suhua wished she would call the police right away to take Wang Hao away.
But Wang Hao tried to charge into the house, attempting to push Lin Jiajun aside:
"Jiajun, my dad is sick, lung cancer, late stage.
"The doctor said he won't live for more than a few months. I have to take Keke and Wanyi back.
"I have to let him see his daughter-in-law and his eldest granddaughter, right?
"Otherwise, the old man won't be able to rest in peace.
"Jiajun, you can understand me, can't you?
"Filial piety comes first among all virtues, you should be able to understand me.
"Open the door and let your sister and Keke come back with me."
He even picked up the health supplements he had thrown aside earlier and said:
"Jiajun, look, these are all things I bought for Mom.
"They're all good stuff. Believe me, I'm truly here in good faith to beg Wanyi for her forgiveness."
Not only did Lin Jiajun not open the door, but he also threw away the supplements Wang Hao had brought, clapping his hands and laughing loudly:
"Hahaha! Wang Hao, tell me, how did karma come around so quickly?
"When my dad passed away, you did everything in your power to stop my sister and Keke from coming back to see him one last time.
"Did you know that right up until he died, he kept calling out my sister's name?"
