"Divorced?! When did they get divorced?!"
"Oh dear, if you divorce Lin Chu, who will earn money for us? Who will we rely on in the future? You?!"
Su Lin was about to cry and express her grievances when her adoptive father's ruthless rebuke came from the other end of the phone.
He was stunned by her scolding and even doubted whether he had heard her correctly.
"How could I not be able to support you?"
"Don't you care why I got divorced? I'm the victim here..."
Before she could finish speaking, a burst of noise came from the other end of the phone, as if someone had snatched the phone away.
Immediately afterwards, Su Lin's adoptive mother's urgent questioning came over.
"Say that again?! You and Lin Chu are divorced?!"
"Oh dear!! What a disaster!!"
"How much money will you get after the divorce?! Is the villa in your name? How much savings do you have?!"
"I've supported you for so many years, you can't lose money!!"
"Tell me!! How much money are you going to get? Tell me you still have to support your daughter, so ask for more. You need to think about our future care!!!"
Hearing her adoptive mother's urgent questioning, Su Lin was immediately frightened and felt a little guilty, so she lowered her voice.
She immediately stopped crying out her grievances and could only mutter hesitantly.
"I...I didn't get any money..."
"I'm leaving with nothing, and I have to return all the houses and assets I bought before..."
"But, but it's not my fault, it's all Su Yao's fault..."
As soon as she opened her mouth to explain, her adoptive parents' cursing and swearing came from the other end of the phone. The two seemed to be fighting over the phone and taking turns speaking.
"What did you say?! We didn't get any money?! What are we supposed to do?!"
"You dare to get a divorce without even getting any money? You've really grown up! No matter how useless Lin Chu is, she can still make money for us!"
"You still dare to speak ill of your brother? I asked you to help get your brother out of trouble, and you couldn't do it!"
"Why did the police arrest your brother? He left home crying! Are you trying to kill us?!"
"If you can't find the police, find Lin Chu! Let Lin Chu figure something out!!"
Su Lin listened to her adoptive parents' harsh scolding, and she was so overwhelmed by the insults that she couldn't lift her head. All the grievances in her heart turned into tears, which kept welling up.
All they could do was whine and cry in protest.
"Well, I'm already divorced, but Lin Chu doesn't listen to me at all."
"I... I didn't really want a divorce!"
"It was all Su Yao's doing. He insisted on making me go on this show and wanted me to divorce Lin Chu. How was I supposed to know that things would come to this?!"
"Why should you all blame me for the mistakes he made?!"
Seeing her crying and shouting while holding her phone, Lin Chu and the program crew members in the distance exchanged bewildered glances.
Seeing this, the director filming on site could only smile awkwardly and look at Lin Chu.
"Well, Ms. Lin Chu, how about we have the production crew give you another ride?"
"Wouldn't it be more convenient to take the high-speed rail back to your home from here?"
"I've had someone buy train tickets for you and Teacher Su Lin, just buy them..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chu immediately raised her hand to interrupt the director's good intentions.
"It's alright, no need to trouble you."
“Since my legal team has arrived, I’ll go with them. We need to discuss some post-divorce details on the way.”
"If there's nothing else that needs to be filmed, we'll be leaving now."
Upon hearing this, the director dared not offer any further advice and could only nod in agreement.
"Ah, okay, I'll let you know if there are any further arrangements!"
You can leave now!
After saying this, Lin Chu immediately left the divorce hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau with her legal team without looking back, showing no intention of paying any attention to Su Lin, and headed straight for the high-speed rail station.
Bang!
As the business van driven by the legal team closed its doors, Lin Chu sat in the leather seat and let out a long sigh.
I have a slight headache.
"Before you came, I asked Aunt Sun to take Mai Mai to stay in another house temporarily. Did you send someone to keep an eye on her?"
"I don't want my child to be affected before the divorce is resolved."
"After all, we need to go back and clear out the trash in the villa now."
In fact, the phone call Su Lin made from inside also served as a reminder to Lin Chu.
For so many years, Su Lin's adoptive parents and her younger brother have been living off her in the villa they bought, like parasites.
Now that they're finally divorced, although they still have to wait for the cooling-off period, they can clear out the villa in advance.
At that time, not only will there be no more annoying cockroaches and bed bugs, but there will also be no more disputes over wardrobes.
Finally, I can have some peace and quiet.
Such matters should be dealt with swiftly and decisively; the later they are handled, the more trouble will arise.
The leader of the legal team was a sophisticated middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle named Xu Feng. He wore a gray-blue striped suit and looked very capable.
He was by Lin Chu's side at that moment, and nodded with a smile upon hearing this.
"Yes, please rest assured. We have already arranged for security personnel to look after your daughter, as well as a nanny who will be with her year-round."
"The child is currently being protected very well, and we don't know what happened yet."
Are you here to evict those unrelated people living in the villa?
"I will immediately have someone prepare the necessary paperwork to assist you with the eviction process."
"Check the time..."
As they were talking, the legal assistant sitting in the back row immediately took care of all the arrangements, including the high-speed rail time and arrival time, and submitted a timetable.
Xu Feng glanced at it and immediately became clear and organized.
"We'll arrange the earliest business class high-speed train back, and we should arrive before dinner."
"The eviction procedures over there can be prepared before we go back."
"We can vacate the villa under your name at any time and reclaim all ownership!"
Hearing that everything had been arranged so well, Lin Chu felt even more at ease.
He didn't say anything more, just leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
In the divorce hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Su Lin held her phone and cried and complained to her parents for a long time, but she couldn't reason with them.
In the end, she lost her patience.
"Alright, I can't explain it to you!"
"Let's talk about it when I get home."
"What do you mean, how am I supposed to get back? Lin Chu will arrange it, I..."
Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly paused and subconsciously turned around to look.
As a result, Lin Chu and her legal team were nowhere to be seen in the divorce hall; only the somewhat impatient program director and staff were still waiting for her.
In the past, no matter where she went, even with a personal assistant, Lin Chu would arrange everything related to her perfectly and meticulously.
But they've only just gone through the divorce proceedings.
Has Lin Chu already become so indifferent to her?
Su Lin felt a pang of disappointment, her nose stung, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
I couldn't be bothered to listen to the incessant chatter on the other end of the phone, so I hung up and stood there dejectedly.
Just then, the director saw that she had finally finished her call and hurriedly came over.
"Teacher Su Lin, as you can see, the program has been recorded, and there is no need to shoot any additional scenes for the time being."
"If you don't have any other plans, I'll have my staff arrange your trip home and take you to the station."
Upon hearing this, Su Lin instinctively wanted to ask where Lin Chu had gone.
But when she looked up, she saw the sign for "Divorce Hall," and she knew in her heart that she and Lin Chu were already divorced. She could no longer control Lin Chu's schedule, and Lin Chu didn't care about her anymore...
He could only nod silently and then leave the place with the program crew.
Bang!
It wasn't until she got into the production crew's car that she couldn't help but think of something.
"If she wants to use the cooling-off period after the divorce to turn things around, the children are key, after all, Lin Chu loves the children so much..."
"I should go home and find MaiMai right away."
"Perhaps for the sake of the child, Lin Chu might change her mind."
Thinking of this, Su Lin hurriedly looked up at the staff member next to her.
"Book me the fastest train ticket home!"
"immediately!"
"Standard seating or second-class seats are fine, I need to go back immediately!!"
