Xie Jianhua paused, and glanced at Lin Luping on the stage, who was almost crazy, with a complicated look, feeling mixed emotions.

He tried hard to suppress his anger and continued:

"I was puzzled as to why they suddenly brought this up. It wasn't until later that I learned from them that after leaving the detention center, Lin Luping hadn't truly repented. Instead, she went to my master's wife and said she had cancer and asked to borrow 50,000 yuan. With this ridiculous excuse, she hurt my mother's feelings, as well as those of my master's wife."

When he said this, Xie Jianhua's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of anger and helplessness.

He looked at the audience and continued, "I know that what happened today has shocked and puzzled everyone. But please believe that every word I say is true. Lin Luping's behavior has seriously damaged the dignity and interests of our family and caused irreparable harm to innocent patients. I hope to be able to divorce Lin Luping."

Xie Jianhua slowly took out several key documents from his trouser pocket. They were the official notice of Lin Luping's detention, a detailed description of the incident written by his master and his mistress, and the hospital's official announcement of Lin Luping's dismissal.

These papers carried a heavy burden in his hands, as each one recorded the evidence of Lin Luping's crimes during the marriage.

He slowly walked towards his great-uncle sitting in the audience. This great-uncle was the highest-ranking official in Lin Luping's family and had always been the mediator of family conflicts.

My uncle's face was full of astonishment and confusion. Obviously, this sudden storm was beyond his expectations.

Xie Jianhua stopped, stood in front of his great uncle, and looked at him sincerely.

"Uncle, today, I come to you with a heart full of helplessness and heartache, asking you to make the decision for me. I believe no man can accept such a thing."

He choked up a little as he spoke, "Lin Luping cheated on her husband and gave birth to an illegitimate child, which was infidelity. She said my mother had cancer to borrow money, which was unfilial. She hurt an innocent third party to win favor and deprived a fellow female patient of her right to have children, which was unkindness. She gambled, owed high-interest loans, and was arrested by the police, which was unjust. You work in the public security system, you know how much harm her actions have brought to me and my daughter."

Xie Jianhua lowered his head, his emotions suddenly surged up. A tall middle-aged man of 1.8 meters shed tears in front of everyone without any concealment.

His shoulders trembled slightly, and his voice became deeper due to sobs: "Uncle, I really have no choice. As a man, I tried to be tolerant, to forgive, to give her a chance to correct her mistakes. But time and time again, all I got in return was deeper hurt. My daughter, she is still so young, she shouldn't have to endure this. She asked me, Dad, why doesn't Mommy love her, why other children's mothers praise her, but she is always disliked by her own mother. How do I answer her? I can only tell her that Mommy loves her and loves this family. But, uncle, do you know? How long can I keep such a lie? My daughter deserves a complete and happy family, not a life of lies and betrayal."

Xie Jianhua raised his head, tears streaming down his resolute face, but his eyes were remarkably firm: "Uncle, I am standing here today not to accuse someone, but to seek relief, a relief that will benefit all of us. Lin Luping's behavior has crossed the legal and moral bottom line. She needs to be held accountable for her actions, and I, in turn, need to be responsible for our future. I hope we can end this marriage peacefully and let everything return to its original state."

My uncle remained silent. He looked at Xie Jianhua, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

The uncle slowly stood up, walked over to Xie Jianhua, and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Xiao Xie, you are a responsible man. Your decision today is the right one. I am old now and don't care about things anymore. You young people should handle yourselves."

After saying that, my uncle seemed to realize something, suddenly turned around, and walked towards Lin Hui on the stage with a slightly staggering step - Lin Luping's younger brother.

Lin Hui was stunned, obviously unprepared for the sudden escalation of this family storm. He was not aware of many of the things Xie Jianhua and Xie Yan had said.

The uncle walked up to him, took out a thick red envelope from his pocket, and gently placed it in Lin Hui's hand, his eyes filled with helplessness and reproach: "Xiaohui, this is a little gift from your uncle, please take it. Your sister... Well, when you go back, please persuade her well, she really did go a little too far."

Lin Hui took the red envelope, his hands trembling slightly. He looked up at his great uncle, his eyes slightly red. "Great uncle, I...I don't know what to say. My sister, she really is...sigh."

The uncle patted the back of Lin Hui's hand gently and sighed: "Young man, don't learn from your sister. Remember, the most important thing in life is to have a clear conscience. Well, uncle, I'm not feeling well, I have to go back first."

After saying that, my uncle turned around and looked meaningfully at my second sister Jiang Cuifen, Lin Luping's mother, who was sitting not far away.

Jiang Cuifen's face was pale, her eyes were full of fear and anxiety, and her complexion was the color of liver.

My uncle shook his head, a trace of disappointment and heartache flashed in his eyes: "Second sister, our Jiang family may not be a family of scholars, but we are also well-known in the local area. Don't spoil the child too much."

After saying this, my uncle did not stay any longer. He turned around and slowly left the venue with his family.

Everyone present looked at my uncle's departing back, feeling only regretful. After all, many people came for him.

You know, it is difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with officials of his level.

When my great uncle left, some of the people who were watching the show quietly stood up and prepared to leave.

With the departure of my great uncle, the atmosphere in the venue became more solemn.

People began to talk in low voices and discuss each other.

Some expressed sympathy for Xie Jianhua, some expressed anger at Lin Luping's behavior, and more people were just gossiping.

Xie Jianhua wiped away his tears, looked at the audience, and his voice returned to its usual calmness: "Today, I am here not only to end a marriage, but also to start a new life. I also ask everyone to bear witness that there is no possibility of reconciliation between Lin Luping and me. If I have caused any trouble to you, I apologize to everyone here. I really have no other choice."

As soon as Xie Jianhua finished speaking, Lin Jun's face turned pale and he glared at Xie Jianhua angrily.

The anger and unwillingness in his heart were about to erupt like a volcano.

Every word Xie Jianhua said was like a sharp knife, deeply hurting his heart.

When Xie Jianhua finished his last sentence, Lin Jun could no longer suppress his inner anger.

He suddenly rushed to Xie Jianhua with his eyes wide open. In full view of everyone, Lin Jun used all his strength and slapped Xie Jianhua hard.

Lin Jun's palm left a bright red mark on Xie Jianhua's face, and Xie Jianhua staggered a few steps and almost fell.

But he did not fight back, but just endured it all silently.

The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became tense and oppressive. People screamed in surprise, some tried to step forward to dissuade them, and some retreated in fear.
