"Your Lin family has no influence over me."

Lu Yunzhang scoffed, "You can choose not to sever ties."

With Old Master Lu overseeing things, the Lin family really can't affect him much.

But if Lin Wanwan doesn't sever ties, she will be arrested and treated the same as the Lin family.

At times like these, a person's conscience is put to the test.

Lu Yunzhang did not think she was a woman with a conscience.

"No way." Lin Wanwan instinctively refused. "I didn't know anything about what my dad did, why should I take responsibility?"

After saying that, he seemed to realize that he had been too heartless, so he added, "We are husband and wife, we share the same fate, so don't worry, Brother Lu, I won't make things difficult for you."

The relationship must be severed.

If the relationship isn't severed, the Lu family has the power to extricate themselves, but she might not be able to.

The Lu family might even use this opportunity to dissolve her marriage with Lu Yunzhang.

no.

Absolutely not.

This was something she had gone to great lengths to obtain, something that would determine her future wealth and status; she absolutely could not allow her family to influence her.

There's a saying that goes, "A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl."

She's already married, so the Lin family's affairs have nothing to do with her anymore.

After thinking it through, Lin Wanwan immediately took out a letter and eagerly wrote a statement severing ties.

"Brother Lu, could you please send this to the Beijing Daily for me?"

Lu Yunzhang looked at the envelope handed to him and said meaningfully, "You're in such a hurry before the verdict is handed to you."

This bit of mockery no longer has any effect on Lin Wanwan.

In just a few days at the Lu family's house, she had already developed an impenetrable thick skin.

Only Lin Xiaoxiao could easily break her defenses.

Lin Xiaoxiao...

For some reason, Lin Wanwan thought of something Lin Xiaoxiao had said to her the night before.

—I'll give you a big gift in three days at most.

A grand gift...

Her heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran from her feet throughout her body, making her instinctively wrap her cotton-padded coat tighter.

"Go mail the letter yourself, don't bother me." Just then, Lu Yunzhang spoke up, interrupting her thoughts.

His voice was extremely impatient, and he turned and left after speaking.

It was as if he had only come to deliver a message.

"Commander Lu, on night shift again?" A woman from across the street next to Lu's house saw Lu Yunzhang striding out and her eyes darted around.

"Hmm." Lu Yunzhang gave a cold "hmm."

After he had walked quite a distance, the woman raised her voice, "Oh my, being a regimental commander is really busy, isn't it? His wife has been with him for several days now, and she hasn't been home once."

“Hey, if you’re bored or lonely, you can come over and chat with your wife.”

"Don't always stay cooped up in your room alone, or you'll get sick from it."

Those around who heard the sound chuckled quietly.

The voices reached Lin Wanwan's ears, and she angrily grabbed a handful of her hair, furious at these gossipy women for their sarcastic remarks, and also angry that Lu Yunzhang didn't take her seriously.

It was just drugging him and scheming against him, why hold a grudge for so long?

She finally managed to persuade Li Yuan to come and join the army, but Lu Yunzhang refused to show his face even once, let alone go home to rest.

He preferred to live in the officers' quarters despite the curious and gossipy stares of others rather than come back and live with her.

In the past few days, many rumors about her and Lu Yunzhang have been circulating in the family compound, saying that she married Lu Yunzhang through dishonest means, that Lu Yunzhang did not like her, that Lu Yunzhang had other people he liked, and so on.

Every time I go out, those people want to dig up every single detail.

So annoying.

At this time, another problem arose in her family. It's unlikely that her father's past actions will be easily exposed.

It's clear that the Lu family has no intention of helping.

Now that things have come to this, she has no choice but to sever ties and find another opportunity to save them later.

If she can't be saved, she'll have to start thinking about her own future.

As a daughter-in-law without any support from her maternal family, and with the Lu family always looking down on her, they might very well try to kick her out.

Lin Wanwan took a deep breath.

Only with a child can she truly gain a foothold in the Lu family.

Just as she was about to mail the letter, Lin Wanwan turned her head and thought, why not go to the newspaper office in person? She could also find out about Lin Dashan and the others.

A bus passes by on the main road one kilometer away from the military base, which leads to the city.

Lin Wanwan was going to catch a bus there; it was too cold to ride a bicycle in this weather.

As I walked out of the military base, I hadn't gone far when I saw a bulky figure running towards me.

Looking closely, it looks somewhat familiar.

Lin Wanwan didn't take it to heart and was about to walk around it without looking to the side.

The next second, the person with the scarf around her face grabbed her. Just as she was about to push him away, she heard the person speak.

"Wanwan, Mom finally found you." Xu Fen gasped for breath; she was quite tired after running a kilometer from the main road.

With her husband and son on her mind, she dared not delay for even a moment.

Luckily, I ran into Lin Wanwan just as I arrived at the entrance of the military base.

Lin Wanwan looked shocked and exclaimed, "Mom? Why are you out?"

Hasn't she been detained all along?

Xu Fen didn't know how she got out; the first thing she saw was that little bitch Lin Xiaoxiao.

It couldn't possibly be Lin Xiaoxiao who rescued her, could it?

impossible.

Xu Fen shook her head and held Lin Wanwan's hand tightly. "There's no time to say these things. Your dad, your brother, and your younger brother are all in trouble. They've been arrested by the police. You need to think of something quickly."

Lin Wanwan's expression was somewhat unnatural. "I've heard about Dad's situation. There's nothing the Lu family can do about it."
