"Yes, just like you said, you and Wang Qianjin have nothing to do with each other; you donât really know about this whole thing. Now that we have this situation, isnât it all because of our relationship? To put it bluntly, you and Wang Qianjin are just boyfriend and girlfriend. If the relationship doesnât work out, you can completely go your separate ways without any connection, right?" Lin Wan said, deliberately checking Zhang Dandanâs expression. Seeing a change on her face, she knew what Zhang Dandan was thinking.
"Dan Dan, you should already have the answer in your heart, right? Wang Qianjin has been tagging you along so many times, all because he had ulterior motives. Now that the things he wanted from you have turned into nothing, heâs certainly not that invested in you anymore, right? He might have sweet-talked you before, buying you whatever you wanted, but now he probably speaks harshly and doesnât care as much. You should also be aware of Wang Qianjinâs flaws, which is why youâre holding your suitcase today."
"Cousin, I...I didnât mean it. I just miss my mom and want to go back to see her." Zhang Dandan said sheepishly.
"Really? Leaving at this time isnât appropriate, right?"
Mu Qing also chimed in, "If you leave now, arenât you afraid that Wang Qianjin will come out later, hold grudges against you, and keep bothering you?"
"I... I want to hide for a while in a place he doesnât know, wait until he has another woman, and naturally, he wonât care about me anymore. Cousin, sister-in-law, to be honest, I donât want to stay with Xiaowei from the family anymore. When I married him, it was orchestrated by my mom. I also thought he was a good person, so just live like this, but... but, he just doesnât work in that aspect."
Lin Wan and Mu Qing exchanged a look upon hearing this. So thatâs the problem. No wonder thereâs resistance to divorce over there.
"Iâve talked about this with my mom too, but my mom only values their family conditions and doesnât care about me. I felt stifled, so I approached Wang Qianjin. A few days ago, she wanted a divorce, but Wang Qianjin refused, saying that the other side wasnât settled with his wife yet. Now itâs sorted out, but because of my poor relationship with you all, he didnât get any tangible benefits and vented all his accumulated anger on me. After living with him for a while, I have discovered that heâs not as good as he seems. Of course... I know Iâm also at fault. When I met him, I bragged about my familyâs affairs to show my superiority, talking about how impressive my relatives were, what my cousin and cousin-in-law do for a living, what kind of business my uncle does. As a result, he formed ideas in his mind, wanting to connect with me more and have contact with your family, thinking it would benefit his business. But only I know that everything I said was just boasting, and if he truly seeks you out, surely you wonât help me."
"And you, you want to go out and hide for a while, then what? You donât want to go back home, constantly hiding from Wang Qianjin, what will you do with your life? Teaching? Lin Wan actually doesnât believe in Zhang Dandanâs skills; she missed so much schooling during high school, and she entered by pulling strings. Lin Wan didnât know how well Zhang Dandan had learned to teach, but surely not great."
"What can I do? If I donât leave now, by the time Wang Qianjin returns, I definitely wonât be able to leave." Zhang Dandan wants to leave Wang Qianjin, but Wang Qianjin is unwilling.
"I actually have a way for you to get rid of Wang Qianjin without returning home."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dandan was a bit surprised. She hadnât hoped her auntâs family would help her, considering back then, she, her mom, and Ye Qing had continually created trouble for her cousin.
"Cousin...I..."
Lin Wan raised her hand to stop her and said, "Listen to me first. Our idea is to let you go to the Disciplinary Board once. Of course, we will provide you with evidence. You should say that recently you and Wang Qianjin have had some disagreements, and after feeling the cold shoulder from the Lin Family earlier, heâs developed a vengeful mindset. Actually, you had been alert to these matters early on and had collected evidence against Wang Qianjin. Just because of some dissatisfaction with my auntâs familyâs attitude, you didnât come forward to clarify. Today, weâve come to find you to resolve past disputes with my aunt, mainly because my auntâs family disagrees with you being with Wang Qianjin, which led to their attitude towards you. They decided Wang Qianjin is not a good person, so they somewhat blame you for being a bad judge of character. Now, realizing that youâve wrongly caused my uncle to be accused, so itâs inappropriate to fall out with family over someone unworthy. Thatâs why weâre here to clarify it."
