(453)
Ye Wenyu was so surprised that she felt as if she had tripped and fallen on flat ground. She stared at him blankly, her eyes wide open, and her face flushed with excitement.
He actually refused! Before, he had such a strong desire to save himself.
Cai Wenchuan glanced at the gloomy sky and said slowly to her, "It's raining, you should go back now. I'm leaving." Then, without waiting for her reply, he turned around, lowered his head, and hurried away like a gust of wind.
Ye Wenyu stood in the cold wind and rain for a long time. What was Cai Wenchuan thinking? What was he up to? Had he given up on treatment?
What does it mean by his flip-flopping? Is it because Lin Tingyue's appearance today made him realize that he can't forget her and can't start over? Is it because he doesn't want to hurt Ye Wenyu anymore? Is it because he realized that Lin Tingyue isn't the Lin Tingyue he had in mind, and Ye Wenyu isn't the Ye Wenyu he originally imagined?
She had no idea.
As Lin Tingfeng's wife, Zhang Shanshan, drove away from Q University, Lin Tingyue sat in the passenger seat, pleading, "Sister-in-law, believe me, my brother really likes that Ye Wenyu. He divorced you because of her. Sister-in-law, believe me, she really is a mistress. Don't fall for her scheme."
Zhang Shanshan's face was ashen, and she remained silent.
The air inside the car seemed to have solidified.
Lin Tingyue panicked, her face pale. She stretched out her hand and said to her with utmost seriousness, "Sister-in-law, I swear to God that every word I have said is true. If it is false, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
Such a vicious vow startled Zhang Shanshan. She pulled her thoughts back from their wanderings and glanced at Lin Tingyue. She asked her, "Why are you targeting that girl? Do you have a grudge against her?"
Lin Tingyue was stunned. Was there a grudge? No. Recalling the past, they had only met a few times, with no major conflicts. She simply disliked her, disliked her for no reason. Was it wrong? Besides, she had a woman's intuition: if her elder brother divorced his current sister-in-law and married Ye Wenyu, then her and her mother's revenge plan would completely fall through!
Now, this sister-in-law is someone who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun. She doesn't seem very smart either. Over the years, she has never won the favor of her eldest brother. She has never cared about the Lin family's assets and is like a lump of mud that can be easily manipulated.
Moreover, because of his strained relationship with her, his older brother has been very unhappy these past few years, often in a low mood. It's easy to cope with a prolonged period of low spirits. However, if his sister-in-law were Ye Wenyu, that smart and strong-willed academic achiever, and his gaze towards her were like the stars in the sky, and if the two of them were together, and his brother became happy and positive, things would likely become more complicated than they are now.
Only if the elder brother loses Ye Wenyu and things return to normal can the mother and daughter have a chance to take advantage of the situation.
Therefore, she did not want her elder brother to divorce his current sister-in-law; she wanted to eliminate Ye Wenyu and get rid of her enemy in advance.
Besides this very important reason, there was another reason. That is, her boyfriend, Jiang Zhiming, always seemed to be hung up on Ye Wenyu.
When Zhang Shanshan saw that her sister-in-law was not speaking and her big eyes were staring at a certain place in front of her, she became suspicious again.
Nine out of ten things this girl says are lies. She's been different from others since she was little, quirky and full of nonsense. Her older brother doesn't like her, and after she married Lin Tingfeng, he kept his distance from her because of all the badmouthing she'd heard about her.
After being married to Lin Tingfeng for so many years, Lin Tingyue initially tried to curry favor with her, hoping to win Lin Tingfeng's favor by pleasing her. However, she soon discovered that her marriage with Lin Tingfeng was a marriage of convenience and that she had no place in Lin Tingfeng's heart. As a result, she began to disappear from his sight and rarely contacted him for several months at a time.
Over the years, the aunt and sister-in-law rarely met, maybe once a year. She thought she was busy dating, but unexpectedly, besides dating herself, she was also enthusiastically acting as a pimp for her older brother.
Zhang Shanshan suddenly remembered the girl from Q University's evaluation of Lin Tingyue: "Her character is like that of a brothel owner." She sneered, thinking that the girl was really smart, and her evaluation was incisive and spot on.
Over the years, Zhang Shanshan had been watching Lin Tingyue's fawning and flattery towards her elder brother with a cold eye.
In the first two or three years of her marriage to Lin Tingfeng, there was no love, but there were feelings between them; otherwise, she wouldn't have given birth to his two children. Lin Tingfeng was handsome and outstanding. Although it was a political marriage, practically an arranged marriage, she fell in love with him at first sight on their wedding night. Therefore, for the first two years of their marriage, she tried her best to please him, hoping that he would fall in love with her. However, after two years, she discovered that his heart was made of ice and iron, and she became disheartened. Having lived in a luxurious family, she had been pursued by men since childhood because of her beauty. She had never suffered such neglect and humiliation. Therefore, faced with Lin Tingfeng's indifference, she sealed away her love and went to a foreign country to find her own happiness.
She was proud by nature, and perhaps even after many years of marriage, Lin Tingfeng never knew that in her heart, the man she loved most was still him, because he was the only one she could never have.
She thought she would bury this love deep in her heart until she died, and that the two of them would maintain a marriage of convenience until they grew old together. Unexpectedly, in the fifth year of their marriage, he asked her for a divorce.
When you're about to lose something, you feel incredibly reluctant to let it go, and you think it's fine to just keep the appearance of possession.
So when Lin Tingyue swore that the female student from Q University was really Lin Tingfeng's sweetheart, and that he divorced because of her, Zhang Shanshan's heart fluttered. Her originally dark and oppressive heart was like the sunrise in the east, with a glimmer of hope slowly rising.
If he really has another woman outside, then at least she can have his body while she can't have his heart, and she doesn't have to get a divorce while the marriage continues.
Therefore, Zhang Shanshan pondered for a moment and said to Lin Tingyue, "You just said at Q University that your boyfriend also knows her?"
Lin Tingyue was taken aback. She noticed that her sister-in-law's tone had changed and was no longer as angry as before. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she smiled and nodded vigorously, saying to Zhang Shanshan, "Yes, yes, sister-in-law, he is also a student at Q University, but he is not at school now. He is interning at our Lin Group."
Zhang Shanshan thought for a moment and then ordered Lin Tingyue, "Take me to see him."
