Right when He Xiaoyu was busy using her actions to prove herself as the new lady owner of Li Mu’s house, Lin Wan was sitting in the living room of her courtyard. Beside her was Mrs. Hong who kept going on and on, just to persuade her to return to the South Seas.
“Lin Wan, at least give me some responses after all I've said. Are you going back or not?”
“Why should I leave?” Lin Wan finally responded.
“Didn't I tell you? Two steps forwards, one step back. This is what you should do now. As the saying goes, distance is the soul of beauty. You have to leave him first in order for him to calm down. Then the feelings of regret will kick in.” Mrs. Hong explained patiently.
“What if he doesn’t regret it?” Lin Wan asked uneasily.
“How would he not regret it? You have been taking care of him all this time and have been so considerate and attentive! He has long depended on you for a lot of stuff. He will regret it for sure
Mrs. Hong made a move! With one hand on Li Mu and the other on He Xiaoyu, she forced them to sit down at the table and said cheerfully, “If Miss Lin wants to talk to the two of you, you’d better sit down and listen up! Or don't blame me for being rude!”“What do you want to do to us? All of you are violating my personal freedom. You are committing a crime! I am warning you. If you don't let us go, I’ll definitely sue you!” He Xiaoyu shouted in anger.“Xiaoyu, stop it!” Li Mu persuaded her from aside, “It's okay. It's better to talk things out now so we can make things clear.”He Xiaoyu went silent and looked at Lin Wan indignantly.The latter gave her a disdainful glance and said with a serious face, “He Xiaoyu, were you amongst the ones who set me up? Were you the mastermind behind Lu Fangliang’s trap?”He Xiaoyu grunted and mocked Lin Wan, “Set you up? What a joke! Did anyone even set you up? Did anyone force
Li Mu's words caught Lin Wan by surprise. Unwilling to give up, she looked up at her husband with disappointment and asked, “Don't you love me anymore? Are you punishing me because of my mistakes? I didn’t betray you. Yet you refuse to forgive me for my mistakes?”“Why are you still saying stuff like that? Do you still think you did not betray me? Do you still think my feelings don't count at all? Do you think it’s only counted as betraying me if you made love with someone else?”“No. No. I know I was wrong. I hurt you. And I apologize for that. Honey, can you forgive me? I was taken advantage of my kindness. I didn’t mean to hurt you at all. I just didn't want to hurt that child's heart. I didn't know they would gang up on me!”“So you didn’t give a d*mn and decided to hurt me just because you didn't want to hurt that child? You know what? Forget it. Lin Wan, we're already divorced. Let’s just let each other go. Okay?”Lin
“Why don't you agree to my remarriage?” Lin Wan asked angrily.“Silly girl. You're so focused on being his weak woman that you've forgotten your status again. You're the head of the Lin Family. And as the head of the family, you can only be a strong woman. How can you be a weak one instead?”Lin Wan frowned and did not answer Mrs. Hong. Of course, she knew what Mrs. Hong meant. She was the head of the Lin family and indifference and ruthlessness were qualities she must have. Brutality and dictatorial were also something she could not miss. Otherwise, how would she have the power to deter such a huge family?And her status of being a weak woman would obviously be criticized by the clan. They’d despise her. If this went on for long, disaster would strike. Even if she was willing to step aside and let her position out for someone else, she would not even be alive to continue being a weak woman. In fact, her husband would also be involved in
Taking the phone, Lin Wan took a glance at it and immediately covered her mouth with her hand.She saw a video of a mad woman lecturing her husband on the street. That was right. That madwoman was her. And that man who was beaten up badly in the video was now sleeping in the room.In fact, she went easy on him. If she really wanted to act ruthlessly, it would only take less than one second for Li Mu to die. But she wanted to teach her husband a lesson hence he was only injured. This was why he looked so miserable in the video!“Who recorded this?” Lin Wan asked in horror.“I don't know. Nowadays there are a lot of people who have nothing better to do. It's not clear who recorded it. But the word has gotten out to a lot of people. Lin Kun even said that you were almost trending now!”Lin Wan was totally dumbfounded. She could not possibly be trending. How would her husband forgive her if she embarrassed him like
Seeing that Lin Wan was on the verge of making a scene, Li Mu hurriedly pulled her away.Struggling to bring her back, the two of them went back to the bedroom and Li Mu pleaded in a low voice, “Lin Wan, we are divorced after all. And it's too much for us to sleep together last night. If Xiaoyu finds out, she might make a scene. I just went to see if she was awake. It’s nothing more than that.”“What now? You don't want to take responsibility after making love with me yesterday? Did being with me last night make you feel guilty towards Xiaoyu? Are you regretting it?” Lin Wan asked coldly, her eyes filled with anger.“Did I say I was not going to take responsibility? You have to give me some time. I just promised Xiaoyu that I’ll marry her and right after that I’m remarrying you. How do you want her to think of me?”“I don't care what she thinks of you. She shouldn't be pestering a married man anyway. If she hadn't started it
Upon hearing those words, the door to Lin Wan’s room opened as she rushed out of the room. Anxiously, she asked Li Mu, “What happened to Dad?”“He had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital!”Li Mu replied without looking back as he ran out of the door.“Wait for me. I'll go with you!” Lin Wan did not have time to freshen up. She simply changed into a set of clothes, grabbed her purse, and followed along.He Xiaoyu and Mrs. Hong followed along too and the few of them rushed downstairs. Getting in the car, Li Mu turned on the hazard lights and sped towards the hospital.Halfway on the road, Mrs. Hong suddenly said, “By the way, Li Mu, Lin Wan, it's best that you don't let them know about your divorce. I'm worried that…”“Yes. Yes. Honey, we've never divorced. Keep that in mind. And don't let it slip!”“No worries. You’d better tell Xiaoyu not to call herself as your fiancee in front
“You’re in deep trouble!”Zhou Li sounded agitated.“Do you know who Lin Wan is? She is the Miss Lin from the Lin Family in the South Seas! I’m sure you know Mr. Gou. Everyone in your field does! Well, even Mr. Gou doesn’t dare to offend her. Now that you’ve caused her to divorce, how would she let you go just like that? Her people are looking for you everywhere. You'd better run now!”“Has she found you?”“Yes. Mr. Gou is helping her to locate you, too. He found me through Wang Shen and asked me about you. I'm sorry. I didn't dare to offend them and told them everything I knew. Wang Shen was the one who told me about Lin Wan’s true identity.”“It seems like this woman is now with Wang Shen. Wait. That’s not the point. The point is that even Mr. Gou must listen to Lin Wan’s orders. Gosh. Who on earth did I offend?” Zhou Zijian thought.“The Lin Family from the South Seas? What do they do for a livin
He Xiaoyu sat aggrievedly beside Li Mu, tears welling up in her eyes.Li Mu felt bad seeing her cry and comforted her, “Xiaoyu, don't think about it anymore. Let's just leave it for now. Both of us should stop trying to make things worse. At this point, our main focus is to treat my father’s illness. I will look for an opportunity to confess to my parents when he gets better.”“How long would it be?” He Xiaoyu asked uneasily.“Who knows? There's no way to predict the timing of things like this. All we can do is to bring him for check-ups regularly!”“Li Mu, in that case you must promise me to let me be in charge of arranging Dad's check-ups.” He Xiaoyu said in a serious manner.Li Mu frowned and responded unhappily, “Why? Do you think someone would lie to you?”“It’s not that. I just want to do my part and also take the opportunity to get closer with your parents. After all, I am your fiancee. I sho
