Liu Renzhi held Lin Wanyi tightly in his arms.
Not having seen her for a few days, he had wondered countless times if his words and that kiss had offended her.
He wondered if Lin Wanyi was avoiding him.
But what he never expected was that Lin Wanyi had been bullied again.
His heart ached for this pitiful woman.
He wanted to protect this pitiful woman.
So he held her tighter and tighter.
Lin Wanyi didn't care about anything anymore; she just felt miserable and aggrieved.
She just wanted a divorce, why did it have to be so incredibly difficult?
The Wang family obviously disliked her and looked down on her, so why wouldn't they just let her go?
Keke clearly had the Wang family's blood flowing in her veins, so why did they have to torture her like this?
She couldn't understand it, couldn't figure it out.
She cried uncontrollably, her tears soaking Liu Renzhi's expensive suit.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally cried herself out.
She cried until she was exhausted.
Only then did she suddenly realize that she was actually leaning in Liu Renzhi's arms.
Her mind suddenly cleared, and she immediately tried to pull away from his embrace.
"I'm sorry, Brother Liu, I'm really sorry.
"I, I..."
She wanted to explain, but she had no idea how to.
She could only awkwardly pull away from him.
But Liu Renzhi held her even tighter.
His magnetic voice sounded in Lin Wanyi's ear.
"Don't move, Wanyi, just lean against me.
"Don't move, trust me, okay?
"Trust that I can protect you and protect Keke.
"Wanyi, just like this, don't move, Keke will get better."
His voice seemed to have a magical effect; Lin Wanyi really stopped moving.
She just leaned quietly in Liu Renzhi's embrace.
Li Suhua watched the scene unfold before her and wanted to step forward to pull them apart.
But Lin Jiajun pulled her outside first.
Li Suhua was very worried.
"Jiajun, this isn't good. It's not good for your sister and Renzhi to be like this.
"Do you understand what I mean? We can't act like this just because you guys did a favor for Siyue. We just can't."
"Mom!"
Lin Jiajun had a different perspective.
"Mom, don't think like that. You should consider that my sister loved the wrong person before and suffered so much.
"You should consider that Brother Liu is someone she can rely on. He is the one pursuing her; it's not like she's shamelessly pestering him.
"Why can't they be together?"
"But..."
Li Suhua was still concerned.
"After all, their statuses are worlds apart. Renzhi has never been married, while your sister has a child. The gap is really too huge.
"I'm just worried that Renzhi is only overflowing with sympathy for the moment. I'm afraid he doesn't truly like your sister.
"When the time comes, it will be your sister who gets hurt again.
"Jiajun, this matter must be handled with caution. Moreover, your sister still hasn't divorced yet, do you understand?"
"Mom!"
Lin Jiajun continued to persuade her.
"My sister is definitely getting a divorce, that's not an issue.
"As long as Brother Liu is sincere, you shouldn't stand in their way.
"I hope my sister can find another reliable person."
Li Suhua just looked at Lin Wanyi with worry.
She didn't dislike Liu Renzhi; in fact, she appreciated him very much.
But she really felt that the difference between them was too vast.
They really weren't suitable for each other.
She didn't want Lin Wanyi to get hurt again.
If she couldn't find the right person, what was wrong with staying single for the rest of her life?
As long as she could live a good life.
Marriage was not a necessity.
Wang Hao still couldn't sit still at home.
He asked Liu Chunlan, "Mom, do you think Lin Wanyi will give us the money?
"Do you think my sister will give the money to me after she gets it?
"Why do I feel a bit uneasy?"
Liu Chunlan was cracking melon seeds.
"Relax, I told you, as long as the money isn't with Lin Wanyi, it's fine.
"As for your sister, I'll just say a few words when the time comes and get it back.
"If you ask me, you must have lost your mind back then to agree to give her the money.
"What kind of waves can she make without money?
"Don't you agree? Money is the root of all this trouble."
Wang Hao was speechless. "That was the money from selling the house. I wasn't the one who transferred it; the buyer transferred it directly to her at the time.
"Mom, I just feel restless about this. I'd better call my sister and ask."
After he finished speaking, he took out his phone, but he called again and again, and no one answered.
Wang Hao started to panic. He called Lin Wanyi, but still, no one answered.
"Mom, could something have happened? I need to go into the city.
"I have to go find my sister, I'm worried about her."
Just as he grabbed his car keys, Liu Chunlan's phone rang.
"Are you Liu Chunlan? Is Wang Meijuan your daughter?"
Liu Chunlan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly replied,
"Yes, I'm her mother. What happened to her? Who are you?"
"I am a police officer. Wang Meijuan is suspected of kidnapping a child and has been arrested by us. Please come down to the police station."
"What?"
The melon seeds in Liu Chunlan's hands scattered all over the floor, and she almost swallowed the seed shell in her mouth.
She grabbed Wang Hao.
"Your sister, she... she's been arrested."
"Arrested? Arrested by who? Why?"
Wang Hao asked anxiously. Liu Chunlan hadn't quite processed it either.
"The person on the phone said she kidnapped a child?"
Kidnapping?
Wang Hao's heart rapidly sank.
Something had indeed gone wrong; Wang Meijuan had been arrested.
Then what about Keke?
Was she taken back by Lin Wanyi again?
He frantically called Lin Wanyi.
Lin Wanyi, who was fraught with anxiety at the hospital, saw Wang Hao's number and pressed the answer button forcefully.
"Honey, I..."
Before Wang Hao could finish his sentence, Lin Wanyi was already screaming and cursing at him through the phone.
"Wang Hao, you bastard! Do you know how bad Keke's fever is?
"Do you know how long she's been unconscious?
"Are you even human? Do you even deserve to be her father?
"Wang Hao, if anything happens to Keke, I will kill you.
"I will absolutely kill you!"
Wang Hao felt as if he had just been handed a death sentence.
Keke had been found, so what now?
Everything he had done was useless; all the schemes he had painstakingly plotted had gone down the drain.
It even seemed like Lin Wanyi hated him more now.
He squatted on the ground, holding his head, crying bitterly.
"What should I do? What on earth should I do?
"I just wanted to win back my wife and child, to save my family. What did I do wrong?"
He refused to accept it.
He was the child's father; taking his child away wasn't wrong at all.
The fault lay with Wang Meijuan.
It was all because of that vicious woman.
Wang Hao got into the car, slamming his foot on the gas pedal and driving incredibly fast.
He was going to find Wang Meijuan.
He wanted to ask her if she was still his sister, and why she had screwed him over like this.
Liu Chunlan was terrified and hurriedly fastened her seatbelt.
Gripping the handle, she said,
"Son, slow down, slow down!
"Don't be reckless, drive slower."
"How can I not be reckless?"
Wang Hao practically roared.
"Do you know how much effort I spent to bring the child back, to make Lin Wanyi come back with me?
"Just as things were about to succeed, just as my wife and child were about to return to me...
"And the result? I trusted Wang Meijuan so much, but she stabbed me in the back.
"She's not my sister. Wang Meijuan is no longer my sister."
