Lin Tingyue was somewhat frightened, and her back began to sweat profusely, but even at this point, because Cai Wenchuan had loved her for so many years, she remained fearless.
She raised her head, straightened her chest, and said to Cai Wenchuan, "Okay, okay, Wenchuan, you're overthinking it. I didn't do that. You have to believe me, I love you, otherwise I wouldn't have married you."
Cai Wenchuan felt blood seeping from his throat. He trembled as he said to her, "I always believed you were pitiful, that you had a hard life, so I cherished you even more. You were uneducated and unambitious, but I believed that one day you would mature and change. You used drugs, but I also believed that one day you would quit. You spent countless amounts of money and only knew how to buy things, but I also believed that one day you would find a fulfilling life and become frugal and minimalist. But have you done that? You always disappoint me, disappoint me again and again!"
The snowball of disappointment grew bigger and bigger, eventually turning into despair that completely crushed him.
Lin Tingyue walked up to Cai Wenchuan and said to him perfunctorily, "Starting tomorrow, Wenchuan, I will definitely change, I will definitely change."
Cai Wenchuan pushed her away with disgust and cursed through gritted teeth, "Get out! Ye Wenyu and I grew up together. She's like my own sister. How dare you lay a hand on her! Have you ever thought about my feelings? You're lawless, empty and bored. Have you ever thought that what you've done is enough to put you in jail!"
Lin Tingyue could only feign guilt and say, "Wenchuan, I know I was wrong. I felt insecure, and I was afraid my brother would retaliate against me, so I came up with this idea. It wasn't my idea; it was my sister-in-law's. I won't do it again, okay? I promise I'll change. You have to believe me. Our relationship over the years has been so precious." At this moment, Cai Wenchuan touched his pocket. Before Lin Tingyue went home, he had already turned on the recording on his phone. He thought to himself, "This can be considered evidence."
Lin Tingyue continued to explain, saying that she was just scared and only wanted to protect herself, and so on.
Cai Wenchuan no longer believed her. He shoved her fiercely and strode out.
He knew they were finished; he and Lin Tingyue were completely over!
The room fell silent again, like a tomb. Lin Tingyue, however, was not saddened by the loss of Cai Wenchuan. She took out her phone and called Lin Tingfeng's ex-wife. She still believed that Lin Tingfeng's ex-wife had come to see her earlier that day, and she had to find a way to make amends.
Cai Wenchuan left. The front door was open, and a strong wind rushed in from outside, blowing up the floor-length curtains. The curtains billowed like sails in the wind, and the whole room was filled with unease and turmoil.
Lin Tingyue glanced at it and immediately lowered her head, feeling inexplicably afraid.
Lin Tingfeng's ex-wife answered the phone, and Lin Tingyue immediately berated her, "You came to see me today? Are you crazy? You talk nonsense to just anyone! My husband already knows about this. Oh dear, you were so careless. How could you say such rubbish to him!" She scolded her angrily.
Lin Tingfeng's ex-wife also became angry, and said with a stern face, "I didn't come looking for you. Besides, after thinking about it later, I really regretted it. This is something that could land me in jail! If it's discovered, I'll be in danger. Lin Tingyue, if this gets exposed, remember that the idea for the kidnapping was yours, and you're the one who did it. I was just following your orders to buy the shares. You're the mastermind behind it all!"
What? She really did pin all the blame on her?
When Lin Tingfeng's ex-wife accused her like this, Lin Tingyue became frightened. She stomped her feet and screamed, "How did it all become my problem?! Wasn't it all agreed upon before?! How can you say it's my problem alone? Also, let me tell you, don't bring this up casually, so no one will know."
Lin Tingfeng's ex-wife sneered and said loudly, "I didn't mention it. I'm telling you, you were the mastermind behind this. I don't want to go to jail. I have two young children. What will happen to them if I go to jail? Also, Lin Tingyue, you've gone too far with Lin Tingfeng. You're a vicious snake, trying to kill him. Even if your older brother is too much, he still raised you. He never skimped on your food or clothing. Your life has always been top-of-the-line. How could you repay kindness with such enmity? It's terrifying to be with someone like you."
"We discussed it before, and you agreed to it. Now you regret it? Are you sick in the head?!" Lin Tingyue stomped her feet and screamed like a raging tigress.
Lin Tingfeng's ex-wife said coldly, "I do have resentment, which is why I agreed to your terms back then. Now I don't want the shares of the Lin Group anymore. It's dangerous to hold onto them. Either you buy them for 80 million right now, or I'll return them to Lin Tingfeng!"
"What?! You dare!" Lin Tingyue screamed again.
Lin Tingfeng's ex-wife ignored her reaction and coldly hung up the phone.
A few seconds passed in silence.
Lin Tingfeng's ex-wife hung up on Lin Tingyue's call. After thinking about the whole thing from all angles, she became more and more uneasy. So she decided to go to the Lin family's old house to find Lin Tingfeng and see how he was doing after losing one-third of the shares in the Lin Group.
Because of her involvement in the whole affair, her heart grew increasingly uneasy, filled with fear and remorse, which clouded her mind like a sheet of wax. At the time, because she hated Lin Tingfeng for abandoning her, she had agreed to Lin Tingyue's offer in a moment of confusion. Lin Tingyue was a vixen, using sweet words to promise that as long as she purchased the shares from Lin Tingfeng, she wouldn't get involved in anything else. But upon reflection, she realized it was illegal and criminal—kidnapping and extortion—and she had unwittingly participated, risking her life!
Lin Tingfeng's ex-wife felt a pang of regret upon thinking about this. She thought painfully that if the truth came out, it wouldn't matter if she went to jail, but what would happen to her two children? One was in elementary school, and the other was in middle school, a time when they needed their mother most.
With this thought in mind, Lin Tingfeng's ex-wife drove to the Lin family's old house the next day, wanting to know about Lin Tingfeng's recent situation.
However, Lin Tingfeng was not home. She was greeted only by Zhang Ma, an old servant of the Lin family. Lin Tingfeng's ex-wife said to her, "Zhang Ma, I'm looking for Lin Tingfeng."
Zhang Ma's eyes reddened, and she replied with tears in her eyes, "Young Madam, the young master has cancer and is currently hospitalized."
What? He has cancer? Like a bolt from the blue, Lin Tingfeng's ex-wife swayed, her face turning deathly pale in an instant. Her eyes widened, unable to accept this truth for a long time.
Lin Tingfeng is young, tall and strong, how could he possibly get cancer? Everyone else in the world can get cancer, but Lin Tingfeng will not get cancer!
With a sob in her voice, Zhang Ma said, "It's true. A few months ago, I was diagnosed with early-stage stomach cancer and had surgery. But a few months later, one night I had a stomachache and was rolling on the floor. I found me and called a car to take me to the hospital. The doctor said there was a large tumor in my stomach and suspected that the cancer had metastasized, so I had surgery again. I'm in the hospital now, and I don't know what's going on. I can't go to the hospital because I have to take care of my mother."
