Chapter 401 I only made a mistake that every man makes.
After listening to Lin Dayou's supposedly aggrieved words, Lin Wangshi, without alerting anyone, covered her mouth, cried, and ran back to Lin Luoxi's house, declaring her choice to divorce.
Lin Luoxi looked at Lin Wangshi, who had just been thinking of giving Lin Dayou a chance, and suddenly ran back to say she wanted a divorce. She guessed that something must have happened on the Lin family's side.
However, seeing that Lin Wangshi was crying so sadly, Lin Luoxi did not inquire further. After comforting Lin Wangshi, she let her calm down.
They set about inviting elders like Lin Lingtian and Lin Jize to the Lin family home.
She picked up a pen in the study and began to write on a piece of paper.
After writing the divorce papers, Lin Luoxi swiftly dragged Lin Wangshi to the neighbor's house next door.
"Luo Xi, did you call us over because of something urgent?"
Lin Jize was unaware of what had happened in the Lin family and assumed Lin Luoxi was about to announce something important.
"Well, Grandpa Lin, I invited you here today to be our witnesses. My father and mother want a divorce..."
Then, he told everyone what Lin Dayou had done during this time.
"Lin Luoxi, this is a matter between my mother and me. As her child, why are you stirring up trouble here?"
Lin Dayou had his thoughts exposed by Lin Luoxi, causing him to lose all face. Now, he was being punished by Su Xueer after returning home, and he was already furious.
Now that he heard Lin Luoxi was going to help Lin Wangshi divorce him, he shouted at Lin Luoxi without any regard for the consequences.
"Smack!"
"I've wanted to slap you for a long time, but I haven't done so because you've been well-behaved these past few years."
"But today, the problem is with you. Instead of reflecting on your own problems, you think it's our fault. You're really stupid and arrogant."
"Those words you just roared over here, they must have been your true feelings, right? You've been holding it in for so many years, it must have been tough!"
"Don't feel wronged. Ask yourself, did you contribute any money to build this house, not even a single brick or tile?"
"Did you earn the money in the house?"
"Since you haven't, what right do you have to feel like you've been living a stifled life these past few years..."
Regardless of how Lin Dayou glared at her, Lin Luoxi fearlessly exposed all the darkness in Lin Dayou's heart to everyone.
No wonder people nowadays often say that if you want to know whether the people around you are human or ghosts, you can find out by getting a divorce.
This statement couldn't be more fitting for Lin Ta-yu.
Lin Luoxi's sudden attack on Lin Dayou startled everyone present.
"Lin Luoxi, I only made a mistake that every man makes. Besides, I haven't gone that far yet. As your child, why do you have to make your parents fight to the point of divorce?"
When Lin Dayou saw his daughter treat him with such indifference, he felt a wave of fear.
Lin Luoxi is right. He himself is incompetent and feels that he is living a stifled life simply because things haven't gone as he wished.
But he didn't want to divorce Lin Wangshi. If he did, his life would definitely not be as comfortable as it was now.
"Shut up. It seems that life has gotten so good that you've forgotten who built this fortune."
"Just because outsiders flatter you a few times, do you really think that everything the Lin family has is something you earned?"
Seeing Lin Dayou's cowardly behavior—lacking both ability and a tendency to bully those in his own backyard—Lin Jize couldn't stand it anymore and started to criticize him directly.
"Luo Xi, is there no way to salvage this situation?" Lin Lingtian looked at Lin Luo Xi instead of Lin Da You.
"Mother, you speak..." When Lin Luoxi saw Lin Lingtian ask this question, she directly asked Lin Wangshi to stand up and speak.
“Father, Lin Dayou has already changed his mind and thinks that I am in his way. Based on this alone, I can’t continue living with him.”
"If the relationship has already broken down, forcing them to stay together will only make them a resentful couple, which is bad for both of them."
"However, Dad, even if we get divorced, I will still be your daughter-in-law, and my children will still be your grandchildren. That will not change."
"Okay, I agree..." Seeing how sensible Lin Wangshi was, and with Lin Luoxi, Lin Wentao, and Lin Luoning supporting her, Lin Lingtian readily agreed.
If he sides with Lin Dayou, his grandchildren will definitely not acknowledge them anymore.
In comparison, smart people would choose the promising Lin Luoxi, Lin Wentao, Lin Wenqian, and Lin Luoning.
"Your Highness..." Su Xue'er didn't expect her old man to agree so readily.
"Xue'er, we'll definitely rely on our grandchildren to take care of us in our old age..." These words immediately made Lin Dayou look down on him.
"Okay, I agree too." Seeing that her man had agreed, Su Xue'er also agreed.
"I agree too." Lin Jize didn't even need to think about it; he was willing to follow Lin Luoxi and the others.
Seeing that Lin Lingtian, Su Xueer, and Lin Jize had all agreed, the others had no further objections.
Lin Wangshi is virtuous and filial, while Lin Luoxi and the others are clever and capable. Following them, one can live a life of luxury, while following the stupid and arrogant Lin Dayou brings no benefits at all.
"Alright, since you elders have all agreed, my parents' marriages will be none of our business from now on." After saying that, he handed the divorce papers to Lin Dayou.
Lin Dayou was provoked when he saw the two words "divorce" on the paper. He suddenly stood up and raised his hand to slap Lin Luoxi, that troublemaker.
"Get out of the way." Lin Lingtian, sitting in the main seat, saw Lin Dayou's actions, stood up, and kicked Lin Dayou in the butt.
"Dad, you lost me thirty years ago, and now you're planning to abandon me again, is that it!" After being kicked, Lin Dayou, in his anger, actually started to play the emotional card.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't we still here? What do you mean by abandoning you?" Lin Lingtian wasn't buying Lin Dayou's act.
"Yes! Dayou, your parents will always be here with you." However, when the time comes, they will go to Lin Luoxi's place.
The divorce was completed smoothly after everyone agreed to it.
From then on, Lin Wangshi—no, now she should be called Wang Yurou and Lin Dayou—married and went their separate ways, with no further contact between them.
Wang Yurou saw that Lin Luoxi had given her and Lin Dayou three copies of the divorce agreement, and Lin Luoxi was holding onto the other copy, which she planned to have Lin Yi take to the yamen for notarization later.
Looking at the divorce papers in my hand, I was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
"Mom, let's go to my place!" Seeing Wang Yurou's downcast expression, Lin Luoxi pulled Wang Yurou to her home.
Have the Lin family's servants pack up all of Wang Yurou's belongings and take them to her house.
"Mom, wait for me..." Lin Wentao and Lin Luoning saw Wang Yurou and Lin Luoxi leave, so they followed them.
"Second sister, can I move in with Mom from now on?" Lin Luoning asked Lin Luoxi pitifully.
