Chapter 127 The Divorce Cooling-Off Period Has Ended

Shi Nian looked at him, but he was looking at the rain outside the window, not at her.

"Love," she said.

But that was then.

Now, she has decided to guard her heart.

She simply didn't need to tell him.

I don't want anything to go wrong tomorrow.

He turned his head and watched Shi Nian open the car door and walk into the rain.

The old subordinates of the Shi family are still with the Lu family, and they need resources to investigate the cause of Shi Yichen's death.

She needs him, she needs the Lu family.

He believed that five months later, he would tell her the whole truth and explain it to her properly, and she would understand.

She loves him; she can't live without him.

Shi Nian had already followed the Lin siblings into the rain.

It was raining heavily, and even though I borrowed an umbrella, I still got a little wet.

"I'll go get the car," Lin Yuchen said.

Lin Zhihuan handed over the key.

Lin Yuchen went to get his car with an umbrella, while Shi Nian and Lin Zhihuan stood under the eaves.

Shi Nian was shaking the rainwater off her pants when Lin Zhihuan noticed her slightly red eyes. After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhihuan asked, "What did he say to you?"

“Some things from the past,” Shi Nian replied calmly. “He also mentioned knowing about the car accident and explained that he didn’t push me on purpose.”

Lin Zhihuan asked anxiously, "You haven't forgiven him, have you?"

"He brought up the past again, and told you it wasn't intentional. Niannian, he's so awful! He hurt you so deeply..."

After Shi Nian finished shaking, she stood up straight, smiled at Lin Zhihuan, and patted Lin Zhihuan's shoulder: "How could that be?"

“We will go to get our divorce certificate at 9 a.m. tomorrow,” Shi Nian said.

Lin Zhihuan carefully observed Shi Nian's expression, and only after confirming that Shi Nian was not lying did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Zhihuan gripped Shi Nian's hand tightly and said, "You've suffered too much following him. Don't look back at someone who isn't worth it."

Shi Nian felt a pang of sadness. She gripped Lin Zhihuan's hand tightly with her other hand and nodded vigorously.

"Um."

Lin Yuchen quickly drove the car over.

They returned the umbrella to the police station and then hurriedly got into their car.

On the other side, Secretary Zhou also borrowed an umbrella and came to Lu Yanzhi's side.

"Mr. Lu," Secretary Zhou said, getting into the driver's seat and wiping the rain off his clothes, "how did your conversation with your wife go?"

But Lu Yanzhi did not answer. He just looked at the rain outside the car window and did not reply.

He didn't even know how he was feeling at that moment.

Seeing this, Secretary Zhou didn't say much. He simply drove the car over, returned the umbrella, and learned that the lawyer still needed to handle some matters. After giving him some instructions, he started the car again and drove Lu Yanzhi back.

The rain was heavy, and Han Wei paced back and forth in her house.

She had been unable to get through to the other party on the phone since before.

The last text message he sent her was telling her that he might be in some trouble recently and that he might not contact her for a long time.

He has already dealt with those people.

Damn it!

Han Wei is angry.

"That place is now clean!"

Han Wei murmured softly as she watched the news report on TV. The person who was hit by the car was still being rescued, and his life was uncertain.

And they've already started searching for him.

Even if they manage to escape, it will be difficult for them to move around in this area in the future.

Moreover, a manhunt is already underway.

"Thank goodness this heavy rain washed away some of the marks," Han Wei said softly.

Thinking about it, Han Wei lay back down on the bed.

I wonder what Lu Yanzhi's current situation is?

"They should be able to get their divorce certificate smoothly tomorrow, right?" Han Wei muttered to herself.

She had already planned it all out; once they got their divorce certificate, she would marry Lu Yanzhi.

This is her dying wish, and Lu Yanzhi should grant it.

And so, she became Mrs. Lu!

Thinking about it, Han Wei's face showed a longing smile.

...

Heavy rain was washing over the city.

The whole world was damp.

Lin Yuchen and Lin Zhihuan first took Shi Nian back to her rented apartment.

Shi Nian took a taxi there before, so her car is still here.

"Shall I stay and keep you company?" Lin Zhihuan asked worriedly.

Shi Nian shook her head.

"It's alright. You were frightened today too. Go back and take a hot bath, get a good night's sleep, and don't get sick," Shi Nian advised.

Lin Zhihuan nodded. That's true. She was also afraid that she would have nightmares at night and scare Shi Nian.

"We'll be going now. Call me if anything happens," Lin Zhihuan said worriedly.

Shi Nian smiled and nodded, reiterating that she was alright.

She stood there alone for a while, watching the brother and sister drive away.

Finally, she slowly turned around and wearily walked towards the elevator.

...

On the other side, Secretary Zhou cautiously asked, "President Lu, where are we going now?"

Lu Yanzhi didn't know how to answer.

Secretary Zhou was also very troubled.

Just then...

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Lu Yanzhi's phone vibrated.

He took out his phone and saw that it was Han Wei calling.

He was a little reluctant to answer.

But then he remembered something and pressed the call button anyway.

"Brother Yanzhi," Han Wei's timid voice came from the phone.

"Mm," he replied.

"Where are you now?" Han Wei continued to ask.

"In the car," Lu Yanzhi replied calmly.

"You're not with Shi Nian, are you?" Han Wei asked cautiously. "I saw the news online, saying... you had dinner with her tonight."

“No, I’m with Zhou Zhiyu,” Lu Yanzhi said.

Secretary Zhou spoke up at the opportune moment: "Ms. Han Wei, we are on our way back."

Han Wei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, she said shyly, "I'm sorry, Brother Yanzhi, I'm still a little jealous."

Lu Yanzhi did not respond, but just looked at the heavy rain outside the car window.

"Brother Yanzhi, what did she say? Is she willing to get a divorce certificate with you?" Han Wei paused slightly before continuing to ask.

"Mm," Lu Yanzhi responded.

"That's good," Han Wei said.

Then, silence again.

Finally, Han Wei asked, "Yanzhi, where are you going? Do you want me to come with you tonight?"

Lu Yanzhi lowered his eyes slightly: "Some things happened today, I'd like to be by myself for a while."

"Okay, okay," Han Wei said. "Yanzhi, you must take good care of yourself."

"Okay." Lu Yanzhi responded again, then hung up the phone.

After dealing with Han Wei, Lu Yanzhi felt a little tired.

This day seemed to last exceptionally long.

The Maybach was still driving in the rain.

"Let's go to the villa halfway up the mountain," Lu Yanzhi said to Secretary Zhou.

"Yes, Mr. Lu." Secretary Zhou changed course and drove towards the hillside villa.

We will arrive soon.

Lu Yanzhi got out of the car, walked through the courtyard, opened the door to his house, and turned on all the lights in the house.

But it still felt empty.

He didn't go to their master bedroom, but went straight to the sofa and lay down.

Staring at the pale ceiling, he felt somewhat dazed.

It's as if this isn't the real world.

"Buzzing".

My phone vibrated.

Lu Yanzhi took out his phone and saw that the time had skipped to midnight.

Their cooling-off period for divorce has ended.
