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

Old Master Li glared at him.

He leaned against the pillow and replied helplessly, "When a person is about to die, there's nothing to be reluctant about."

Li Tingze's heart sank, and he didn't dare to utter a sound.

Grandpa Li continued, "Aze, Grandpa isn't forcing you, but rather wanting you to truly understand your own heart. Can you honestly say that in the five years you've been married to Zhi'er, you've never had a crush on her? Never felt affection for her? Is the reason you've been entangled for so many years really just because of my initial pressure? When it comes to marriage and relationships, the worst thing you can do is... choose to avoid it!"

The old man spoke so frankly.

If Li Tingze continues to play dumb, it will only make him look foolish.

He was about to reply when his mother, Song Ya, appeared and interrupted him.

As soon as Song Ya appeared, she berated Lin Zhi, scolding her for being ungrateful and not coming to visit Old Master Li when he had such a serious accident and major surgery.

His voice was extremely loud, which displeased Old Master Li, who retorted, "Shut up! Zhi'er came right after my surgery and stayed with me until I woke up. I hadn't even exchanged two words with her before your precious son drove her away!"

After saying that, he glared coldly at Li Tingze and scolded, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go get Zhi'er back!"

Song Ya grabbed Li Tingze's hand and sneered, "She really thinks she's something! I'll go after her!"

Before the words were even finished, Song Ya opened the door and walked out, without waiting for Old Master Li to refuse.

She saw Lin Zhi waiting for a car by the roadside as soon as she arrived at the hospital entrance.

He rushed forward in two strides, turned Lin Zhi around, and slapped her hard across the face.

A burning pain swept across Lin Zhi's entire face.

Before Lin Zhi could speak, Song Ya pointed at her nose and cursed, "You little slut, you're shameless! You're deliberately dragging your feet on divorcing my son, ruining his happiness!"

Lin Zhi was stunned and covered her sore face.

Her eyes were red and filled with resentment, and her tone was stubborn.

"Ms. Song, are you mistaken? The one dragging on the divorce is not me, it's your son."

"If you're really in a hurry, go and urge Li Tingze to take some time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the divorce procedures."

Mrs. Li was stunned.

This was the first time Lin Zhi had spoken to her without using honorifics.

In the past, no matter how unfriendly she was to Lin Zhi, Lin Zhi always respected her.

Song Ya comes from a prestigious family, and after marrying into the Li family, she was hailed as the First Lady of Northern Beijing, enjoying great prestige among wealthy women.

In her view, Lin Zhi, a descendant of a declining family, was not worthy of entering the Li family's door.

Over the years, she has disliked Lin Zhi very much.

In comparison, Su Nianqing, as the illegitimate daughter of the Su family, is more presentable than Lin Zhi.

After all, the Su family's status in northern Beijing was second only to the Li family.

Given time, with the Li family and the Su family joining forces, Li Tingze's position in Beijing will be unmatched.

Li Tingze must divorce Lin Zhi!

Song Ya gave Lin Zhi a few cold glances.

He gave a disdainful sneer.

"You're not good enough for Aze to be reluctant to divorce you." Song Ya's eyes were contemptuous as she coldly warned, "You'd better hurry up and get a divorce, otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make your half-crippled mother beyond cure."

Suddenly, she pushed Lin Zhi away, saying, "After all, the medicine she relies on to prolong her life has to be imported from abroad at a high price. Whether it can be imported again is just a matter of my word."

Lin Zhi's face was pale.

Her fingers clenched into fists at her sides, her eyes red, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "If anything happens to my mother, I will never let you off the hook!"

Song Ya chuckled lightly, then said disdainfully, "How ridiculous! What abilities do you have?"

Lin Zhi stared intently at Song Ya, feeling a chill run down her spine.

She was indeed no match for Song Ya.

However, even a rabbit will bite when cornered.

If it really comes to that, she will never let Song Ya hurt her mother!

Seeing that Lin Zhi dared not speak her anger, Song Ya smiled, leaned closer to her, and said calmly, "I will talk to Aze about this. You just need to sign the divorce agreement. As for the rest, I will take care of it."

After saying that, she added, "I hope you can be pragmatic!"

Before Lin Zhi could speak, Song Ya gracefully turned and left.

Lin Zhi stood there alone, her emotions unable to calm down for a long time.

……

For several days in a row, Lin Zhi and Li Tingze did not contact each other.

Song Ya did send over the divorce papers.

The divorce agreement was simple and clear: she had to leave with nothing, leave Beijing, and never return.

Li Tingze's entry is still unsigned.

Clearly, Song Ya hadn't convinced Li Tingze yet, and wanted to start by working with her.

Lin Zhi sat in the coffee shop, tilting her head slightly back, trying to clear the mist from her eyes.

Mrs. Huo arrived late.

She sat opposite Lin Zhi and noticed Lin Zhi's unusual behavior.

He sighed and said, "I heard you and President Li didn't end up divorcing?"

Lin Zhi remained silent for a moment before looking at Mrs. Huo and nodding gently.

Mrs. Huo, being a woman herself, could empathize with Lin Zhi's heartache at that moment, and kindly said, "President Li must really be reluctant to part with you, otherwise, with his abilities, it's impossible that he couldn't get a divorce."

“It was Grandpa Li who suddenly fell seriously ill, not that he didn’t want to.” Lin Zhixin’s heart ached, and she sighed softly, “But none of that matters anymore.”

Even if Li Tingze really didn't want to leave, Song Ya wouldn't sit idly by and wait for her fate.

All she wants to do now is work hard and use her own abilities to raise enough money for Lin Wanxin's heart transplant as soon as possible.

Mrs. Huo was a smart woman; she stopped there and didn't continue the conversation.

She read through Lin Zhi's revised manuscript and liked it more and more, finally nodding to finalize it.

With a tight schedule, Lin Zhi didn't chat with Mrs. Huo for long before heading to the factory to purchase the main materials needed for jewelry making.

The factory is located in a village in the northern suburbs of Beijing.

Lin Zhi took two buses before finally arriving at the village entrance.

She took out her phone to locate the factory, and after walking just two steps, she saw a familiar luxury car.

The car window was half-rolled down, and eagle eyes were watching her.

The two looked at each other.

Lin Zhi didn't freeze up like last time, but continued walking forward indifferently.

inside the car.

Li Tingze's eyes darkened: "Drive!"

The driver softened and mustered his courage to say, "Mr. Li, the villagers in this village are notoriously unruly. It's quite dangerous for your wife, a young woman, to come to a place like this. Besides, it's late, there are no buses, and you won't be able to get a taxi."

Li Tingze remained silent, his gaze coldly fixed on Lin Zhi's receding figure.

a long time.

He then spoke softly, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The driver was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

After a long pause, he said ingratiatingly, "President Li, I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds."
