(654)
After Cai Wenchuan gave the shares of the Lin Group to Lin Tingfeng, it was as if a major matter had been resolved. Next, he did the second major thing he had to do: divorce Lin Tingyue.
When the two finished their divorce proceedings and walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Cai Wenchuan suddenly felt a sense of relief. His more than one year of married life was like a nightmare, and he was finally free. He returned to his former self, the university teacher who was honest and upright, poor but respected, and content in his beloved academic career.
Now I realize that all love and hate are not as good as the tranquility of a heart as still as an ancient well.
Lin Tingyue knew she had lost everything. Even if she went to Jiang Zhiming, he probably wouldn't want her anymore. Jiang Zhiming had only chosen to be with her because of her status and wealth as the eldest daughter of the Lin family. Now that she had lost both her status and wealth, he naturally wouldn't stay with her.
She looked at Cai Wenchuan, holding the divorce certificate, her eyes brimming with tears. Yes, she was wrong. She had been too willful and reckless, using his love as a whip to lash him back at him. She had humiliated and abused him time and time again, not knowing what respect and love were. She was wrong.
Lin Tingyue said to Cai Wenchuan, "Wenchuan, it's good that we're divorced. I was not good enough for you. I was worse than a pig or a dog. I didn't know how to cherish what I had. You leaving me is like getting rid of the trash around you."
Cai Wenchuan smiled and looked at Lin Tingyue. It was strange; she was still so beautiful and charming, so arrogant. Her small face, the size of a palm, shone like a diamond in the sunlight.
She remains the girl who makes countless men's hearts flutter.
But when he saw her, that feeling of budding affection was gone.
Everything that has passed is past; once you let go, you let go.
Therefore, Cai Wenchuan was very glad that he was finally free. The corners of his mouth turned up and a smile appeared on his face. He squinted in the golden sunlight, like a person who had been in prison for a long time and was suddenly released and regained his freedom. His body and his soul were no longer under her control.
The little girl in the purple-trimmed sailor uniform finally died in his heart and would never again torment his soul like a ghost.
Therefore, he smiled and said softly, "Now that I think about it, I have to thank you for how you treated me after we got married." Because of her drug addiction and her infidelity, these cruel truths, like knives, were like heavy punches that broke his heart and killed him. That's how he was able to break free. Otherwise, he would have been trapped in his obsession with her for the rest of his life, unable to be free.
He now looked at her calmly, no longer feeling that magnetic attraction. It was good, it was good; he was finally free.
Freedom and joy, like a bird soaring in the sky.
He said slowly, “Countless nights, I thought of all the things you did for me, and all the things I did for you. I once thought that if you could love me even a tenth as much as I love you, I would be very happy. But you didn’t. It’s like you’re blind, your heart is blind, you can’t see it at all. Maybe you don’t care. The person who has been by your side since childhood has been giving all along. Over time, you’ve taken it for granted.”
Tears of regret streamed down Lin Tingyue's face. She took a step forward, her face as pale as paper. She reached out her hand and pleaded with Cai Wenchuan, "Xiao Wenzi, do you really not love me anymore?"
Startled, Cai Wenchuan took a step back, waved his hand at her, and said, "I don't love you anymore, I don't love you anymore, I dare not love you anymore." Then he turned around and strode away.
Lin Tingyue stood there alone for a while, then burst into tears.
She lost everything.
As Lin Tingyue left the Civil Affairs Bureau in tears, clutching her divorce certificate, Lin Tingfeng walked in with Ye Wenyu, beaming with joy.
The hospital's diagnosis came back: Lin Tingfeng's cancer had not metastasized. Although the tumor in his abdomen was quite large and frightening, it was a benign tumor. So he had escaped death again. The doctor said that after examination, there was no sign of cancer cell recurrence. Therefore, Lin Tingfeng's last surgery was very successful and he was considered clinically cured. He only needs to come to the hospital for regular check-ups in the future.
Lin Tingfeng and Ye Wenyu learned the good news at the same time, and they were both very happy. Therefore, after Lin Tingfeng was discharged from the hospital, the two arranged to come to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.
Then, on a sunny day, the two held their wedding at the Lin family mansion. Lin Tingfeng's mother, Zhang Xiaohong, was naturally very happy; the house hadn't been so lively in a long time.
Ye Wenyu's mother and stepfather naturally attended as the bride's parents. In addition, Jiang Zhiming, Cai Wenchuan, Lin Tingyue, and Lin Tingxuan also came. Everyone was smiling, dressed in appropriate formal attire, and offered their sincere blessings.
That day, the roses in the garden were in full bloom, red and fragrant. The sunlight, like golden threads on a loom, rushed down all at once, making the surroundings bright and beautiful. Ye Wenyu, dressed in a snow-white wedding dress as white as a new moon, stood beside the tall and handsome Lin Tingfeng, listening to the pastor proclaim the vows of marriage. Her face was smiling, her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at her relatives and friends around her.
A gentle breeze blew in gusts, as if singing, and the various trees in the woods swayed their leaves softly, as if providing accompaniment for their wedding.
Her gaze swept over them one by one. Her mother was still there, her stepfather was happy, Cai Wenchuan was relaxed and free, and Jiang Zhiming was also there. They all seemed to have been freed from their respective abysses of pain. Although Lin Tingxuan and Lin Tingyue were somewhat unsuccessful, Lin Tingfeng had promised Zhang Yingzi and kept his promise, taking good care of the two of them. So in the end, the immature and selfish Lin Tingyue and Lin Tingxuan finally matured, and the three siblings were able to live together peacefully.
