Lin Jianxue, who had been silent for a while, slowly raised her head.
The light from the street lamp cast a faint shadow on her face. The eyes that were filled with tears just now now looked unusually calm.
She twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Thank you, Uncle Yuan."
The call of "Uncle Yuan" made Director Yuan feel a little more at ease and also added a bit of pity.
Such a good child, yet he was ruined by Jiang Yubai.
He nodded, his tone becoming gentler. "You're the victim now. If you have any requests, feel free to ask Uncle Yuan. Or, is there anything you want me to pass on to... those two people inside?"
Lin Jianxue said without hesitation: "Please tell Jiang Yubai that I want to divorce him as soon as possible."
The four words "divorce as soon as possible" were like a stone thrown into a quiet lake, and everyone present was slightly startled.
In this day and age, divorce is no small matter, especially for women, as it often means enduring enormous social pressure and criticism.
Looking at the unshakable determination in Lin Jianxue's eyes, Director Yuan instantly understood the kid's determination.
Yes, after experiencing such betrayal and humiliation, forcing this marriage to continue would only torture each other.
He nodded solemnly, his tone becoming more serious. "Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely keep my word. If you need any documentation regarding the divorce procedures, you can always come to me."
"Thank you, Uncle Yuan." Lin Jianxue thanked him again. This time, the distance in her voice was less and there was more sincerity in it.
At this time, a green jeep police car slowly stopped in front of the Public Security Bureau.
Lin Yuefeng stepped forward and spoke to Director Yuan in a low voice for a few more words, which were nothing more than requests and words of thanks.
Director Yuan patted him on the shoulder and told him not to worry.
Afterwards, Lin Yuefeng opened the car door and carefully protected his wife and daughter as they got in.
The police car started and drove away from this troubled place, blending into the dark night.
The tube building is gone.
It was already completely dark, and dim lights shone through the windows of every household in the tube-shaped building. The air was faintly filled with the mixed smell of burning coal stoves and food.
This tranquility of the night with the smell of fireworks was completely broken the moment the Lin family got out of the police car.
Almost instantly, eyes in the corridor and behind the windows focused on him like searchlights.
Whispers surged like a tide, mixed with undisguised gossip, curiosity, and even a bit of gloating.
These glances and comments, like countless tiny needles, pierce people's bodies one by one, weaving a suffocating web.
Just one afternoon was enough for a shocking piece of news to spread throughout every corner of the compound.
Jiang Yubai, the son-in-law of Director Lin of the Red Star Machinery Factory, who looked so handsome, was actually having an affair with a "cousin" from the countryside who appeared out of nowhere!
The two of them were having an affair in a guesthouse and were caught on the spot by the police. Even Director Lin was invited to the police station!
I heard that the woman was from Jiang Yubai’s hometown and used to work as a nanny in the Lin family!
Chen Wu's face turned pale, and he subconsciously wanted to protect his daughter more tightly, as if this could shield her from those hurtful sights.
Lin Yuefeng was so angry that he was shaking. After all, he was a factory director. When had he ever been criticized like this? If he wasn't worried about the consequences, he really wanted to rush up and smack down those heads that were peeking out!
Looking at his daughter who was standing beside him with her eyes downcast and not saying a word, he suppressed his anger. He just frowned, protected his wife and daughter with his broad arms, and walked upstairs with heavy steps.
Only Lin Jianxue, who was held in her mother's arms, seemed unusually calm.
She didn't even avoid those gazes, but just lowered her eyelids slightly, feeling those gazes like thorns falling on her body.
Does it hurt?
Maybe a little.
It's more of a cold-eyed indifference.
Because all this was just as she expected.
In fact, it was the result of her deliberate guidance.
She just wants to make a big fuss!
It became known to everyone!
It caused a lot of uproar in the city!
She wanted to let everyone know what Jiang Yubai and Jiang Yuning, the couple, had done, and ruin their reputation by being despised and scorned by everyone!
Let them be like rats crossing the street, and be nailed to the pillar of shame forever!
Compared with the devastating disaster she endured in her previous life, what is the price of being watched?
The family of three walked upstairs in silence, their footsteps sounding particularly clear in the silence.
Finally, they arrived at their door.
To Lin Jianxue's surprise, there was a light on at the doorstep.
Before Lin Yuefeng could take out the key, the door creaked and was opened from the inside.
Dim light leaked out from the crack in the door, illuminating a slightly hunched figure.
A figure wearing an old grey cotton-padded jacket appeared at the door, holding two army green thermoses in his hands. He lowered his head and hurried out.
The two sides met at the door and collided head-on, both of them were stunned!
When Tong Caihe saw who was coming, the color on her face instantly disappeared!
She subconsciously wanted to hide the two heavy thermoses in her hands behind her back.
When Lin Yuefeng and Shen Wu saw Tong Caihe and the familiar thermos in her hand, their faces instantly turned so gloomy that water could drip out of it!
Their family had been through such a horrible thing outside, and they came back exhausted both physically and mentally. And yet, this nanny they had hired for years and always thought was their duty, this biological mother of Jiang Yubai who had caused such a terrible disaster, had actually come into their home without them knowing when, and even prepared a meal to send to that shameless couple?!
Lin Jianxue's gaze fell coldly on the two army green thermoses.
After a chaotic afternoon, she almost forgot about this equally crucial person.
Lin Jianxue slowly stepped forward and stood in front of Tong Caihe.
He looked calmly at the panicked woman in front of him and asked slowly, word by word:
"Aunt Tong, you're carrying a thermos. Where are you going?"
