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

As his lips descended, she covered his mouth with her hand.

Just as he was about to kiss her again, she took the initiative and said calmly, "I have one more condition! I hope that all the earnings from my work in the future will be considered my personal property and will no longer be divided between my husband and me, including half of the profits from the Lin family. I will not participate in the distribution of your share either."

She should also make plans for her own life.

Instead of being a lamb to the slaughter, at the mercy of others.

Li Tingze chuckled softly.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "You only want the profits from the Lin family business, but you don't want to take on the debts. You've got a pretty good plan."

Lin Zhi could easily hear the sarcasm in his words.

She didn't back down, but looked at him and continued, "It's not that I have a brilliant plan, but I believe that with your abilities, the Lin family can definitely make a comeback. The Lin family is an empire that my grandfather worked hard to build. If Wen Rongbin hadn't used underhanded means to seize it back then, it wouldn't be in this state now. If the Lin family had no value, you wouldn't be willing to take it over. Knowing you as I do, you never fight a battle you can't win!"

These words did make Li Tingze feel much better.

He's a businessman, and he certainly wouldn't do anything meaningless.

Taking over the Lin family business would not only help Lin Zhi but also benefit himself, so why not?

However, Lin Zhi's sudden awakening made him feel a little uneasy.

He preferred his docile wife, who was obedient to him and naive to worldly affairs.

Li Tingze chuckled, "Mrs. Li, when did you become so clever?"

Lin Zhi said with a self-deprecating laugh, "It's just a matter of being influenced by one's surroundings."

Li Tingze looked at her quietly, raised his hand to unbutton his clothes, opened his arms and sat on the sofa, giving her a wicked smile.

The implication of ambiguity couldn't be clearer.

Lin Zhi struggled internally for a long time before finally walking slowly towards him.

Before he could react, she pulled him into her arms.

The subsequent intimacy happened naturally.

She considered refusing several times.

In the end, she was sealed away by his kiss.

……

Li Tingze was extremely busy in the following period.

He was either in a meeting or on his way to one. He not only didn't visit the hospital, but he also rarely went home.

Half a month passed in a flash.

Lin Zhi's body has basically recovered, and she can now perform some simple and light movements with her right hand.

The doctor did not insist on keeping her and approved her discharge.

On the day of her discharge, it was Li Tingze's assistant who came to the hospital to complete the discharge procedures for Lin Zhi.

The assistant said that Li Tingze was busy with important meetings and couldn't spare the time.

Lin Zhi remained silent, her mood calm.

However, as soon as she got into her assistant's car, she saw a familiar, tall figure through the car window.

Not far away, Li Tingze was pushing a wheelchair, and sitting in the wheelchair was Su Nianqing, who had changed into casual clothes.

Su Nianqing wore a happy smile, the kind of smile only a woman could have.

This smile, seen through Lin Zhi's eyes, seemed particularly ironic.

Li Tingze bent down and carefully lifted Su Nianqing into the car. Su Nianqing did not let go immediately, but instead whispered in Li Tingze's ear.

After they said something intimate, a warm smile appeared on Li Tingze's face.

Li Tingze had never smiled like that when he was with her.

The assistant also spotted Li Tingze.

The lie was exposed.

He looked at Lin Zhi awkwardly, just about to explain.

Lin Zhi said calmly, "Your boss doesn't need to report to me what he's doing!"

She and he are now in a business partnership.

What he wanted to do was no longer important to her.

For her, the most important thing now is to focus all her energy on her fledgling career, strive to design better works, and elevate herself to a higher level.

The harsh reality made her realize that only she could rely on herself, and only when she had enough money and ability could she talk about life.

She really has to thank the experience she gained during this period.

Otherwise, she would spend her whole life hiding in the cage woven by Li Tingze.

He lived out the rest of his life in gloom.

When Lin Zhi came to her senses, Li Tingze had already accompanied Su Nianqing away.

She glanced at her assistant and said calmly, "I want to go to the rented apartment to see my mother first."

The assistant hurriedly said, "Madam, your mother is no longer staying there. During your hospitalization, President Li arranged for her to stay in the best sanatorium in northern Beijing."

Lin Zhi was very surprised.

She asked her assistant to take her to a nursing home.

When she arrived at the sanatorium, medical staff were conducting a routine check-up on Lin Wanxin.

The test results were pretty good.

Lin Wanxin pulled Lin Zhi to sit on the sofa, her face full of smiles: "Tingze really knows how to arrange things. The best sanatorium in Beijing is different from ordinary ones. Everything is excellent, and the service is top-notch. Zhi'er, I'm really happy for you that you and Tingze have reconciled. You must live a good life with him from now on and not be emotional anymore. A man as outstanding as Tingze is someone others can only dream of."

As she spoke, she sighed deeply again: "These days, I've been thinking, if I hadn't taken things so seriously in our relationship, would that vicious woman have been involved? And would things have turned out this way between us?"

From Lin Wanxin's words, Lin Zhi could tell that Li Tingze had not told Lin Wanxin about her car accident.

She was actually quite grateful to Li Tingze for doing this.

She nodded in agreement with her mother.

Lin Wanxin continued, "Your most important task right now is to have a child as soon as possible. Once you have Tingze's child, no matter how much your mother-in-law dislikes you, she will treat you well for the sake of the child. Moreover, Tingze has already helped me find a heart donor, so I should be able to have a heart transplant soon. Once I recover, I can help you take care of the child and watch you live a happy life together."

Lin Zhi couldn't bear to hear these words.

My eyes were already wet.

I have bitterness in my heart, but I have no way to express it.

What Lin Wanxin longed for was what she had once dreamed of, but now she dared not even hope for it.

There is no future for her and Li Tingze.

Their relationship is no longer pure!

The mother and daughter chatted for a while before Lin Wanxin handed the signed share transfer agreement to Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi choked up, "Mom, what's wrong...?"

Lin Wanxin said in a very calm tone, "I know that your vicious father threatened you with the Lin Group, but thanks to Tingze's intervention, things were settled. I think it's best to transfer the shares to you. Only in this way can we put an end to that scumbag's thoughts, and you won't have to suffer anymore. Zhi'er, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for dragging you down..."

Lin Zhi shook her head gently, her eyes filled with tears.

Lin Wanxin affectionately patted Lin Zhi's head, her face beaming with a genuine smile of satisfaction.

She didn't let Lin Zhi stay any longer and urged her to go home quickly.

After leaving the sanatorium, Lin Zhi was unable to calm down for a long time.

Because Lin Wanxin seemed to know everything.

Tell her: When you have no other choice in life, that is the best choice.
