After the divorce, the CEO knelt down every night begging for remarriage.

Three days later, Lin Wanxin's condition stabilized.

Lin Zhicai took her back to the rented apartment.

After lunch, she made an excuse that she had to go to work and went out.

Returning to the Lin family's old house, an indescribable sorrow welled up deep within her heart.

Upon entering the main hall, Wen Rongbin was playing a racing game with his son.

His current wife, Sun Meng, was eating fruit nearby.

A happy and harmonious family of three.

Wen Rongbin looked up, his gaze sweeping over Lin Zhi. The kind smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by anger.

He shouted angrily, "How dare you step into this house? You've come here now, do you want to see for yourself whether you've driven me to my death!"

"Wasn't it you who broke your promise first, causing Mom to fall ill and be hospitalized?" Lin Zhi felt indignant when she thought of Lin Wanxin's pale face. "Since you don't keep your promise, then return the 800 million you borrowed from Li Tingze back then. And all the dividends from Lin's Group over the years must be paid to me in full."

The dividends over five years would amount to at least several million.

With the money back, she could use special channels to find a heart donor for Lin Wanxin.

Wen Rongbin was instantly enraged and roared, "I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you're already asking me for money! Let me tell you, no way, I won't give you a single penny. Is Li Tingze tired of you and wants a divorce, which is why he stopped Lin's business, leaving your brother without a school to attend?"

"It's me who wants a divorce."

"Have you been enjoying life too much and lost your mind?" Wen Rongbin angrily pointed at Lin Zhi. "Do you even know that without Li Tingze, you're nothing? Let me tell you, I absolutely will not allow you to divorce him. You'd better go back now and serve him well, appease him, and persuade him to re-sign the cleaning business of all the hotels under the Li Group to our Lin Group. When that happens, forget about your share of the profits, I'll give you an extra ten million!"

Lin Zhi's attitude was firm: "I must get a divorce, and I'm determined to get my money back."

Wen Rongbin's face immediately darkened.

He raised his hand and slapped Lin Zhi hard across the face.

He angrily rebuked her: "I think you're just wasting your good life and asking for trouble, just like your mother, you've gone crazy!"

This slap landed on Lin Zhi's face, but it didn't hurt as much as it usually did.

Instead, it woke her up.

With tears in her eyes, she glared at Wen Rongbin and said, "If you won't give me the money, then see you in court!"

Wen Rongbin angrily pointed at Lin Zhi's head: "Wen Zhi, don't forget, your surname is Wen, and I am your father!"

Lin Zhi stumbled and almost fell when he pointed at her!

She hurriedly grabbed the low cabinet beside her, her heart throbbing with pain.

Aside from the years when he treated her and Lin Wanxin with feigned affection, Wen Rongbin has never cared about her over the years. Every time he contacts her, it's either to ask for money or to ask her to ask Li Tingze for help.

If Lin Wanxin hadn't repeatedly pleaded with her, she would have severed her father-daughter relationship with Wen Rongbin long ago.

How dare he call himself her father?

It's ridiculous.

Lin Zhi looked at Wen Rongbin with red eyes and disappointment: "From the moment you kicked my mother and me out of this house, I took the surname Lin, not Wen."

"You unfilial daughter! I'll beat you to death!"

Enraged, Wen Rongbin grabbed a vase and smashed it over Lin Zhi's head.

The speed was so fast that Lin Zhi couldn't dodge it in time.

Blood was flowing freely, blurring his vision.

Wen Rongbin was taken aback when he saw that she stood still without flinching.

Seeing that his tough approach wouldn't intimidate Lin Zhi, he softened his voice and said, "Because of your recklessness, the Li family has severed its cooperation with the Lin family, causing the company's cash flow to break down. If you really want the money, the only way is to sell all your shares and let the Lin family change hands."

Because she was too young to take over the Lin family business at the time, Wen Rongbin was able to seize the opportunity and take over the family business.

The Lin family, which was once a prominent family in northern Beijing, is now on the verge of bankruptcy.

Lin Zhi couldn't help but suspect that Wen Rongbin had done something behind the scenes.

The most urgent task is to get the Lin family back.

She doesn't understand business matters, so it might not be easy for her.

Lin Zhi's face was pale: "The Lin family is my grandfather's life's work, and I will never allow it to be sold."

"Then it's not up to you. I'm the one who calls the shots at the Lin family now!"

"Before my grandfather passed away, he left his will to my mother, leaving the Lin family business to her. You've married another woman and had children with her, so your word doesn't count!"

"Wen Zhi, don't forget, your mother and I are not officially divorced yet, we are still legally married. She belongs to me, not to mention the Lin family."

Lin Zhi was so angry that she trembled all over.

Wen Rongbin was cunning and manipulative, deliberately delaying the divorce proceedings with Lin Wanxin in order to obtain the Lin family business.

She sneered, "But you've been separated for so many years, your marriage is no longer valid."

“That won’t affect anything. I’ll split the Lin family business with her.” Wen Rongbin thought he had Lin Zhi under his control. “So, I advise you to obediently go back to Li Tingze’s side and appease him. That way, the Lin family business founded by your grandfather can be saved. You don’t want to watch the Lin family business, which your grandfather built with his own hands, go bankrupt, do you?”

Lin Zhi stood silently in place.

My heart is filled with utter despair.

Sun Meng then brought her son to Wen Rongbin's side, pretending to be a good person and saying, "We're all family, let's not say too much and not hurt our harmony."

As she spoke, she took a towel and wiped the bloodstains from Lin Zhi, saying gently, "Zhi'er, your father has been worried sick about the company these past few days. He's been a bit irritable! Please be understanding of him. I think the most important thing right now is to protect the Lin family business. It's not too late for you to divorce Li Tingze later."

Lin Zhi sneered inwardly.

In short, they refused to give her the money and told her to go back and beg Li Tingze.

Wen Rongbin went down the steps and placed a gift that he had prepared in advance in front of Lin Zhi.

He said, "Li Tingze will be hosting a banquet at the Royal Court later. Take this gift with you. As long as you soften your stance with him and say a few nice words, he will naturally renew the contract with the Lin family."

Lin Zhi knew that arguing any further wouldn't get her the money, so she decisively left.

Wen Rongbin stood there, watching Lin Zhi's departing figure, cursed a few times, and kicked the sofa in anger.

Sun Meng gently patted his back, comforting him, "Lin Zhi responds better to gentleness than force. You shouldn't have hit her just now. If she holds a grudge and speaks ill of you to Li Tingze, then you'll be in trouble!"

"I'm her father! How dare she!!"

"She may not necessarily see you as her father!"

When Wen Rongbin heard this, his expression turned serious.

Lin Zhi has changed since she came back this time.

No longer timid and submissive, but quick-witted and eloquent.

But he believed that no matter what, Lin Zhi would definitely beg Li Tingze for Lin Wanxin's sake and for the Lin family's sake!
