Chapter 205: Chapter 205: After Everything is Settled, We Should Divorce - It’s Time to Fulfill Your Promise

That gentleman...

"You don’t need to know his name, now that I’m back, I’ll take you home." Lin Yu stroked her hair, her expression full of sympathy, "You stay here and wait for me, I’ll be right back."

Cheng Zhiwei immediately showed a relieved smile, "Thank you, Auntie."

Lin Yu turned and immediately approached Zhou Lin, getting straight to the point, "I remember you once said that once this matter was finished, you would divorce. Now that you have nearly finished your affairs, isn’t it time you fulfilled your promise?"

Cheng Zhiwei had no one supporting her, but she had her.

The divorce still needed to happen.

"In her current condition, what will she do if we divorce?" Zhou Lin said indifferently.

"You still have the nerve to say that? She became like this because of you. Don’t you feel any guilt? Forget it," Lin Yu scoffed coldly, "You must divorce, or you’ll be waiting for a lawyer’s letter."

"Mom, where can she go if she divorces?"

"Where?" Lin Yu said indifferently, "I will arrange that. You don’t need to worry about it, Zhou Lin. You got what you deserved. Meng Qiancheng, he..."

Lin Yu choked up, after all, he was her son. Not having seen him for so many years, even if it was for a purposeful upheaval, he was still her son. And now his whereabouts unknown, how could she not be sad?

It was just that she had suffered too much and too clearly in her earlier years, and when making choices, she resolutely stood on the side of Zhou Chenyuan and Zhou Lin, so she suppressed that sadness in her heart.

She took a deep breath and started discussing the divorce again, "Originally, I supported Zhiwei’s decision to divorce. It was only after your father had an accident and Zhou Jinzhong brought things into the open that Zhiwei agreed not to divorce. She did it for the Zhou Family, but what you have done to her, it can no longer be described as excessive. She might not remember, but I do."

Zhou Lin’s breathing became heavy, his voice tense, "You’re right, it’s because of me that she ended up this way, so taking care of her is my duty."

"If she hadn’t lost her memory, the first thing she would do now is divorce you. She doesn’t need your care," Lin Yu retorted sharply, "Zhou Lin, you talk the talk, don’t let her despise you."

"Under her current condition, as long as I don’t agree to the divorce, even if she sues, she can’t get a divorce," Zhou Lin stated bluntly, exhibiting a cold attitude.

"Zhou Lin, you..." Lin Yu frowned coldly, "How can you be so dishonorable?"

A complex emotion flashed in Zhou Lin’s eyes, "That’s what I mean, you better not focus on this matter anymore."

"Do you think if she remembers what you did, she would still want to be your wife?"

"So are you planning to tell her everything she has forgotten?" Zhou Lin’s words were sharp, instantly shattering Lin Yu’s threat.

Cheng Zhiwei’s health was currently poor; telling her these things would only cause her heavy distress, and Lin Yu dared not do it.

Zhou Lin knew she wouldn’t dare, hence he boldly spoke those words.

"Zhou Lin, are you forcing me?" Lin Yu felt utterly alienated from the Zhou Lin in front of her, given the proper education she had provided from childhood, how had he turned into such a domineering and selfish man?

Zhou Lin looked out the window; the snow had been falling for several days, turning the entire city into a cold, merciless white.

He whispered, "As a bargaining chip, I could release Cheng Zhiyin, drop all charges against her."

Lin Yu trembled slightly, disbelief in her eyes, "You are willing to release Zhiyin?"

Cheng Zhiyin was a crucial figure in this chess game; her conviction was necessary to ensure Meng Qiancheng’s and to suppress the disturbances by Zhou Jinzhong and others.

Now that Zhou Lin was releasing Cheng Zhiyin, Zhou Jinzhong could continue causing trouble, though not as much as before. But not removing the root of the issue would eventually bring many troubles.

Lin Yu couldn’t see through why Zhou Lin was doing this, whether he had enough confidence to stabilize the entire Zhou Group or if it was due to guilt towards Cheng Zhiwei.

She was silent for a long while.

"But Cheng Zhiyin can’t stay here; she has to go back to her hometown. Of course, I will arrange her work and everything else in her life well, except she cannot come to Yucheng; she will live well," Zhou Lin stated emphatically, his slightly raised chin displaying his assertiveness, "My condition is that you no longer interfere in matters between me and Cheng Zhiwei, whether it’s the divorce or anything else, you don’t interfere."

"No way, if you continue to bully her, am I supposed to just watch and do nothing?" Lin Yu countered.

"Agree or not, you think it over," Zhou Lin said.

"Zhou Lin, she has already become like this," Lin Yu sighed deeply. No matter how much more was said or shouted, it all seemed futile.

"I orchestrated such a large scheme, it was supposed to be a complete victory, but now it’s less effective. Don’t I deserve some compensation?" Zhou Lin spoke casually, but clearly, the choices he offered would not have a third option.

"I need time to think," Lin Yu said.

"You can have it," Zhou Lin replied.

Lin Yu returned to the hospital room, and Cheng Zhiwei immediately showed a happy expression, "Auntie, can I borrow your cell phone to call my sister?"

She held up her phone, "I don’t know if my phone is broken, I can’t make calls, and the internet doesn’t connect."

Lin Yu’s throat tightened; she naturally knew this was Zhou Lin’s doing, as he didn’t want her to have any contact with the outside world.

Approaching the bedside, she pretended to check the time, comforting her, "At this time, Zhiyin might still be in class, let’s call her later."

"My sister..." Cheng Zhiwei pouted, looking a bit displeased, "Why hasn’t she come to see me?"

Whenever she had troubles, Cheng Zhiyin always rushed to find her swiftly.

Lin Yu’s heart ached unbearably, sitting beside Cheng Zhiwei, she gently asked, "Do you really want your sister to come see you?"

"I want to live with my sister, and I want to go to school," Cheng Zhiwei touched her own ear, "Is it because there’s something wrong with my ear, that’s why I can’t go anywhere?"

Lin Yu moved her lips; forgetting those events was a good thing for Cheng Zhiwei, yet it was cruel. She couldn’t even imagine how painful it would be when Cheng Zhiwei remembered.

"Zhiwei, are you willing to continue living with that gentleman?" Lin Yu cautiously asked, "His last name is also Zhou, you can call him Brother Zhou."

"Brother Zhou?" Cheng Zhiwei pursed her lips and shook her head, "Can’t I go to find my sister? I won’t cause her any trouble."

"Let’s discuss it with your sister first, okay?" Lin Yu suggested.

"Alright then, thank you, Auntie." Cheng Zhiwei replied.

Lin Yu left the hospital room, thinking that she knew Cheng Zhiwei’s decision after all. Cheng Zhiwei had made concessions repeatedly, all for Cheng Zhiyin.

Freeing Cheng Zhiyin was also her greatest desire.

Lin Yu agreed to Zhou Lin’s demands and then headed to the police station to bring Cheng Zhiyin out.
