Chapter 353: Chapter 353 They Got Divorced

Xi Wanlin also picked up her bowl to eat.

They were supposed to be the closest people to each other, but at this moment, aside from Mr. and Mrs. Xi Huarong, the other two seemed like outsiders.

One was the adoptive daughter and the other was the biological daughter.

To ease the atmosphere, Xi Huarong would occasionally ask some questions.

But he mainly inquired about Su Meixi’s recent work, showing obvious favoritism.

He didn’t ask much about Xi Wanlin, and neither did Li Shirui.

Xi Wanlin felt a pang of heartache and ate while holding back her tears.

She had made some mistakes, which almost caused a lifelong regret for her parents.

Especially when she later wanted to harm Su Meixi, any parent would be unable to endure it.

Therefore, she didn’t dare to speak up.

This meal was very dull.

After the meal, Su Meixi took the initiative to help in the kitchen, asking Xi Wanlin to talk about her own matters with Xi Huarong.

After all, she had already given the opportunity; it was up to her to make use of it.

In the kitchen, Li Shirui looked at Su Meixi and felt more and more pity for her.

The adoptive daughter outside, in her eagerness to stay by their side, schemed and didn’t hesitate to harm others, yet this silly biological daughter generously brought her home.

It was no wonder she was so fortunate.

Unable to help herself, Li Shirui repeated the question Xi Huarong had already asked at the dinner table: "Xiao Xi, is your work going smoothly recently?"

"It’s pretty smooth, yeah."

"And Gu Wei is doing okay too?"

"He’s fine, he said his work is going well."

"You’ve moved to a new place, right?"

"Yes, but Gu Wei has been so busy that we haven’t had the chance to invite friends and relatives over."

"Well, if you need anything at that time, make sure to let me know. I can find some reliable people to help you out at home, and I’m good at hosting guests too."

"Okay, I’ll let you know when the time comes."

In her heart, Su Meixi already considered the Xi Family parents as part of her sister-in-law’s group, mainly because everyone knew each other and had topics to talk about.

...

In the living room outside, Xi Wanlin suddenly knelt down in front of Xi Huarong.

"What’s going on with you?" Xi Huarong asked.

Xi Wanlin began to cry: "Dad, I was wrong!"

"You were wrong? Where were you wrong?"

"I was wrong from the start, when I knew the situation but didn’t clarify it with you, leading our daughter to suffer so much outside. I was wrong when I knew Su Meixi was your daughter, but I didn’t reveal it and instead wanted her to disappear from Yun City. I constantly obstructed your family reunion, causing her to misunderstand you..."

Xi Huarong asked, "But why did you do all this?"

"I had no reason, I truly know I was wrong. Dad, I have been having a hard time recently, perhaps this is divine punishment. There’s a saying, those who commit too many injustices bring about their own destruction; my company recently has had no business, and my current husband, he... he beats me."

Xi Wanlin revealed the bruises on her body.

Seeing this, Xi Huarong only shook his head: "I thought you would continue living with Li Hengze, but you ended up finding such a person again. Isn’t this asking for trouble?"

"Yes, I asked for it. He hit me again the day before yesterday, and I have already called the police, but he doesn’t agree to a divorce."

"Then file for divorce through the courts."

"But the litigation takes too long, I’m afraid he’ll beat me again during this time."

Xi Huarong sighed deeply.

"Dad, no, Mr. Hua, considering our past relationship as father and daughter, please help me escape this predicament. From now on, for the rest of my life, I will stay far away from you and never appear before you again!"

Xi Huarong sighed again: "I don’t want you to never appear before us again. What I’ve always wanted is an upright and kind-hearted daughter. If you can’t be that, then you don’t need to appear before me.

I’ll talk to your current husband for you, apply pressure on him, and make him stop harassing you. Get up."

Xi Wanlin cried as she kowtowed again.

At the kitchen door, Su Meixi and Li Shirui witnessed the situation outside.

Li Shirui also sighed deeply.

...

Xi Huarong instructed Secretary Chen to negotiate with the detention center and Lu Lei.

Secretary Chen was very experienced in interpersonal relationships. He investigated Lu Lei’s situation ahead of time before using his weaknesses in the negotiation.

Though Lu Lei had feelings for Xi Wanlin, there were some things that she could not compare to, such as his company, his career.

If he did not agree, he would have to bear the corresponding responsibilities once any mishaps occurred in the future.

Secretary Chen didn’t make his words very clear, but Lu Lei understood, and his back was covered in sweat.

Indeed, he had always thought that Xi Wanlin was now alone without any support, but she and the Xi Family were still father and daughter at heart, and the Xi Family would not be happy to see her suffer.

Unwillingly, Lu Lei signed the divorce agreement.

By the time Lu Lei was released from the detention center, he was informed that all his belongings had been packed and sent back to his own home by Xi Wanlin.

Along with his mother.

His mother had witnessed her son beating someone that day and seen her daughter-in-law injured like that. She had no face to persuade Xi Wanlin not to divorce.

Once, she had been beaten by her husband and did not have the courage to fight back, leading her son to develop such a personality. She was full of regret.

Mrs. Lu came to pick up Lu Lei.

Lu Lei looked around but did not see Xi Wanlin.

Mrs. Lu handed over the divorce certificate, which Secretary Chen had processed on behalf, and said, "Leizi, don’t wait, Linlin won’t come. She’s already gone out of town."

"Do you know where she went?"

Lu Lei hoped to plead desperately as he did before, and perhaps Xi Wanlin would forgive him again?

Mrs. Lu wiped her tears: "I don’t know, and I don’t want to know."

Lu Lei checked his phone and found that Xi Wanlin had deleted his contact information and even changed her phone number. It seemed that he might never be able to find her again.

...

Xi Wanlin went to Feng City.

She originally wanted to visit her biological mother Fang Xin, but Fang Xin was still in prison because of the baby-swapping incident.

A household registration book was needed to visit the prison, which she did not have.

She made a trip to the old neighborhood where Su Meixi used to live and found an old neighbor who had not moved away.

For the first time, Xi Wanlin asked someone about her birth mother’s past.

The old neighbor did not have a deep impression of Fang Xin, only saying, "If you ask about Xiao Xi, we know a bit. That child has had a hard life and has always lived alone."

As Xi Wanlin turned to leave, she encountered a young couple, the man handsome and the woman with a frontier appearance. They were holding a one-year-old child in their arms.

"Yuanhang, who do we notify about moving to the new house next month?"

"Just some colleagues from the hospital. What about you, who do you want to invite?"

"Me? Just a few regulars from the shop next door. I don’t know many people in Feng City, and Ah Xi and them are always away. Even if they come back, it is always in a rush, and it’s hard to see them."

"They have their own things to be busy with."
