Lin Wan liked the diamond ring a lot. After hearing Xiao's suggestion, she compared its size to her left ring finger and put it on without any further thoughts.
She had her wedding ring on her right ring finger, so she could only wear it on her left hand. Thankfully she wasn’t foolish enough to take off her wedding ring.
This was enough to make everyone in the room compliment how good it looked. Lin Wan herself was also pleased with how it looked.
She even thought of dragging her husband along with her to order a set of couple rings when he returned.
After putting the ring away, Lu Fangliang pointed to another gift box and asked, “What's in this?”
Xiao opened the gift box which contained three rectangular jewelry boxes.
Upon opening the jewelry box, three beautiful necklaces were displayed in front of them.
This was also a set of family jewelry. The man’s accessory boasted generosity a
After the rehearsal, the students left the classroom one after another. Mr. Yan invited Lin Wan to his office and said, “Miss Lin, the competition tomorrow marks the end of our time working together. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you on behalf of the school!”“Don’t mention it, Mr. Yan. Thank you for providing me with this opportunity so that I can bring my education career to a successful end.” Lin Wan replied sincerely. She wasn’t trying to be polite, but she meant it from the bottom of her heart and was sincerely grateful to Mr. Yan for providing her with such an opportunity.Headmaster Yan waved his hand and said with a smile, “Don’t mention it either, Miss Lin. It’s my job to do so. Miss Lin, there is something I’d like to tell you, but I’m worried it’ll offend you.”“Are you trying to persuade me to go back to school? If so, you don't have to try. I will leave Shanyang City soon and may not come back. I really c
He Xiaoyu opened a gift box and placed a copy of the CD in it. She then sealed the box and handed it to Li Mu.“Are you planning to settle the score with her tomorrow?”“Is there still a need for me to do so? I'm going to write her a letter and leave her a divorce settlement. I’ll leave the rest to her!”He Xiaoyu said with disdain, “She has no choice but to agree for a divorce. What she did was equivalent to agreeing to Lu Fangliang's marriage proposal. I don’t think she has the audacity to not agree for a divorce upon seeing what she did!”Li Mu took off the wedding ring from his finger and held it in his hand. While looking at it carefully, his eyes were filled with reluctance and perplexity.He Xiaoyu snatched it away from him and threw it out the window. Not far away was an artificial lake, and the ring plopped into the water with a small splash and sank to the bottom.This action upset Li Mu a
Mrs. Hong was very patient and watched all the videos from the beginning to the end. She couldn’t stop sighing as she watched them and looked at Lin Wan with pity in her eyes.It was already early the next morning when she finished watching the last disc. Lin Wan had no tears left to cry and was cowering tightly in the corner of the sofa, looking so pitiful and helpless.“Lin Wan, tell me the truth. Do you like this man, Lu Fangliang?”Lin Wan shook her head vigorously and said in a firm tone, “I only like my husband!”“Then why did you…?”“I didn't give it any second thoughts. I just didn't want to break that child's heart. She had a similar experience to mine, and I couldn't bear to hurt her. I just wanted to leave her some good memories.”“So you decided to leave her father some good memories too?”“No, no. It's all that girl's fault. It's all her. It's all her!”Mrs. Ho
“Seems like this wasn’t done too long ago!” Mrs. Hong pondered to herself, “I have a way to break the spell then. It’s just that after breaking it, it will be a little too much for Li Mu to handle. I can't help it. For the sake of Miss Lin’s life, he’ll have to suffer a little!”Having made up her mind, Mrs. Hong stopped dwelling on the matter. Instead, she pulled Lin Wan to sit down and asked seriously, “Lin Wan, tell me first. What are you going to do next?”Lin Wan's gaze turned malevolent as she said through gritted teeth. “Find out everyone who has set me up and make them pay a heavy price. I will spare none of them no matter their age.”“That's the spirit!” Mrs. Hong said, pleased. “After this ordeal, you must keep one thing in mind: You can be kind, but not coward. Miss Lin, your prestige must never be violated. All violators must be duly punished!”Lin Wan said seriously, “I swear on my life that anyone will never be
Li Mu felt a little confused. What was happening right now was something he did not expect. He had expected Lin Wan to cry and threaten him that she would hang herself but it turned out she did not do that at all.Now that he thought about it, Li Mu suddenly came to his senses. His wife did foolishly fall into someone’s trap. But wasn’t he the same? Lin Wan was right. Why were the videos sent to him? It was obviously to make him file for a divorce.To be frank, he was also considered as one of the culprits. Since he knew his wife was being set up, why did he sit back and do nothing about it? Human made mistakes. Was the sentence “let her indulge to her heart's content” a valid reason for him to neglect his responsibilities as a husband?“But why did you do all that? I don’t understand.” Pale, Li Mu asked. “I've already said it didn't matter. Does the reason still matter if you don't trust me anymore? Does it still matter wh
“I just couldn't understand. You have a husband and you claim to love me a lot. But why did you be someone else’s mother and that man’s nominal partner? You even went to the extent of lying to me to cover up this matter! And now you’re accusing me? Was what you did right?” Flustered, Li Mu yelled.Many passers-by looked this way but walked away indifferently right after. Arguments and fights between couples like this happened near the Divorce Registrar so often to the point where it wasn’t surprising to see incidents like this anymore.“I have always admitted that I was at fault and that I was foolish enough to fall into someone else’s trap. I should not have lied to you either. These were all my mistakes and I will never deny them! But I have never been his nominal wife. He and I aren’t even friends. Please do not accuse me of that!”“Well, explain to me then. Why did you do all that?”“I can't tell you yet. But you'll find
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
