Lin Haoran, handcuffed, strode into the room, while the prison guards remained at the door, monitoring his every move.
When he saw Zhang Wanru, he felt an unprecedented sense of closeness, and even thought that Zhang Wanru was indeed quite beautiful and well-maintained. Indeed, one's own wife is always the best.
As soon as he sat down, he excitedly said to Zhang Wanru:
"You've finally come to see me! You'd better think of a way to move me to a solitary cell, I can't take it anymore!"
Looking at Lin Haoran's bruised and swollen face, Zhang Wanru immediately understood what he had gone through inside. She felt disgusted and not a shred of sympathy.
Compared to Chen Xiaohe, this man is like heaven and earth; she must have been blind to marry him.
Zhang Wanru snorted and said, "How could I have that ability? This detention center isn't my family's property. Do you think this is a hotel where you can just get a private room whenever you want?"
"You should pay someone to help you! Aren't you rich?" Lin Haoran said anxiously, thinking to himself that this spendthrift woman really had no social experience and had become stupid from staying at home. He had to tell her this directly.
“I have no money, and even if I did, I wouldn’t waste it on you!” Zhang Wanru said firmly.
Lin Haoran did not expect Zhang Wanru to have this attitude when she came to see him.
He paused for a few seconds, then asked, "Then what are you doing here? Did you come here just to see me make a fool of myself? If you're still angry about what happened before, I can apologize to you, but at this point, you should just stop."
He didn't think anyone would be so bored as to make a special trip to the detention center just to spite their partner. Since Zhang Wanru was willing to come, she must still have some affection for him as a couple.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanru looked at Lin Haoran and asked seriously, "Do you also feel that you wronged me in the past?"
At this moment, Lin Haoran naturally dared not provoke Zhang Wanru any further. Moreover, after being lectured by his fellow inmates for several days, he had indeed realized some of his mistakes. Keeping a mistress was wrong, and letting his wife raise an illegitimate child was even more wrong.
He quickly replied, "Wanru, I have indeed done many wrong things in the past and hurt you. It's all my fault. I apologize to you and beg you to forgive me."
Zhang Wanru couldn't help but laugh. She'd never seen anything like it before; she was actually hearing Lin Haoran apologize to her. However, she hadn't come here to hear apologies. She asked, "So, how are you going to make it up to me?"
"I'm willing to do anything as long as you forgive me, but now is not the time to talk about that. You need to take care of my business first."
Lin Haoran spoke with sincerity, but in his heart he was cursing. "Stupid woman, so troublesome. Quickly move me to a private room."
Zhang Wanru stopped smiling and said seriously, "Really? Then divorce me!"
As she spoke, she pushed the divorce agreement in front of Lin Haoran.
The prison guard standing at the door gave a clear smile.
Lin Haoran was stunned. After a few seconds, he finally realized that this shrew had come to him for a divorce!
He jumped up and yelled at Zhang Wanru:
"You vile woman! You have no morals, you kick me when I'm down! How dare you bring up divorce at a time like this!"
"Lin Haoran! What are you doing?" the prison guard shouted.
Lin Haoran was so frightened that he trembled all over.
The prison guard then shouted, "If you have something to say, talk it out. If you have nothing to say, go back."
Lin Haoran quickly and obediently sat down, smiled at the prison guard a few times, and indicated that he knew he was wrong.
Then he turned to Zhang Wanru and said, "Let me tell you, Zhang Wanru, you want a divorce now? No way!"
"Didn't you just say that you felt sorry for me and wanted to make it up to me?" Zhang Wanru replied.
Lin Haoran snorted: "That's different. You're my wife, so I'll make it up to you. But if we're divorced, you're no longer my wife, and we have nothing to do with each other. Why should I waste my energy on you and make you any compensation?"
Zhang Wanru couldn't help but glare at Lin Haoran. Shameless, going back on his word. But after so many years of marriage, she didn't take Lin Haoran's words seriously. She knew that under the current circumstances, Lin Haoran would not easily divorce her.
She was prepared for this.
She looked directly at Lin Haoran and said in a low voice, "Sign the divorce agreement today, and we can part amicably. Otherwise, I'll tell the Dong family's lawyer that you transferred assets. Don't think I don't know what was in that black box you took that day. Was it an antique left by Dad?"
Lin Haoran chuckled coldly, adopting a fearless and roguish demeanor: "Whatever, I don't care, do whatever you want."
He figured Lin Zheren was no longer in Haishi, and his belongings were safe since he had taken them with him. He believed the Dong family was only targeting him out of respect for Lin An and wouldn't bother chasing him all the way to the capital.
Seeing that she couldn't control Lin Haoran, Zhang Wanru continued to threaten, "Then I'll just tell Lin An about this."
Lin Haoran laughed instead: "Go ahead and see if he sees you. Do you really think he only hates me and not you?"
Lin Haoran felt that Lin An wouldn't listen to Zhang Wanru's words, and even if he did, he wouldn't believe them.
Zhang Wanru became anxious: "Then tell me, what exactly will it take for you to agree to a divorce?"
Lin Haoran didn't directly answer Zhang Wanru's question. He knew something was amiss, so he asked in return:
"Why are you in such a hurry to get a divorce? Do you have someone new?"
Zhang Wanru's expression turned flustered when her secret was exposed, and she hurriedly denied it: "Nothing of the sort!"
"I suddenly realized that women should be independent, and unhappy marriages should be ended as soon as possible."
Lin Haoran's face was gloomy. He had already guessed most of what was going on from Zhang Wanru's flustered expression. Damn it, this shrew is quite capable. She found another man in just a few days.
He said in a deep voice, "What? You're almost fifty, and you've finally decided to become an independent woman?"
Zhang Wanru nervously rubbed her fingers. She knew that her declaration of an independent woman was a bit far-fetched, and she tried to dissuade her:
"Haoran, you and Yang Li have been together for so many years, you both want to be together openly and legitimately, right? I'm willing to do you a favor and help you two get together."
Lin Haoran, thinking of Yang Li's charred face, immediately retorted, "I don't want to!"
Seeing that he wouldn't listen to reason, Zhang Wanru said angrily, "Anyway, I'm going to divorce you!"
Seeing her so anxious, Lin Haoran figured Zhang Wanru's new lover must be quite well-off, so he boldly said, "You can get a divorce if you want, as long as you give me back everything I've lost!"
Zhang Wanru was shocked: "What did you say? Everything?"
"Yes! My company! My villa! Give them all back, and I'll agree to divorce you," Lin Haoran said seriously.
Zhang Wanru was furious and slammed her hand on the table: "Do you think I'm some kind of turtle in a wishing well?!"
"Family members! Keep your voices down! You have ten minutes left in your visiting hours, speak quickly!" the prison guard shouted.
