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

Lin Zhi had just returned to the studio when Wen Rongbin arrived uninvited.

She hurriedly closed and locked the door, but it was too late.

Since their last meeting, Wen Rongbin had aged considerably; his cheeks were thin, and he exuded an aura of death.

As soon as Wen Rongbin entered, he knelt down in front of Lin Zhi, his eyes red with tears, and pleaded, "Zhi'er, I shouldn't have abandoned you and Wanxin back then. I know that even dying a thousand times wouldn't make up for the grievances and hurt you suffered. I'll kneel here today, and I'll get up whenever you forgive me. If you're still not satisfied, I can..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard several times.

Lin Zhi was stunned.

But reason told her that Wen Rongbin couldn't possibly change his personality suddenly.

She turned her back and said calmly, "We can skip the sentimental parts. Just tell me what your purpose is in contacting me."

He wanted to play the role of a good father who had changed his mind in front of her, but she didn't have time to play along.

Wen Rongbin stared at Lin Zhi's retreating figure, a cold glint in his eyes, but his words were spoken with humility: "I heard that Old Master Li gave you 25% of Li's Group. You became a billionaire's wife without doing anything. I've come to beg you today, hoping that you can consider that we all have Wen family blood flowing through our veins and give me 200 million to save my life. I will tell your brother to remember this kindness and repay it whenever needed in the future."

"If you don't want to see us again, take the money and we'll disappear from your sight completely."

Repay a favor?

Lin Zhi found it all laughable.

disappear?

Once he gets the money, does he still have any credibility?

She resolutely refused: "From the moment you signed that last time, my mother and I have already severed all ties with you. If you want 200 million to save your life, you shouldn't be coming to me. I won't give you a single penny."

Besides, she doesn't even have 200 million.

Seeing Lin Zhi's resolute attitude, Wen Rongbin's eyes turned fierce, and he asked through gritted teeth, "Are you really going to treat me and your brother so heartlessly?"

“My father died long ago. My mother only has me as her daughter; she has no younger brother.” Lin Zhi turned to face Wen Rongbin. She could still see the ruthlessness deep in his eyes. She pointed to the door and coldly reminded him, “The door is over there. Please make yourself at home!”

Wen Rongbin originally thought that Lin Zhixin was soft-hearted and that he could get money from her by playing the family card.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhi remained unmoved by either soft or hard tactics.

He stood up and threatened her harshly, "Wen Zhi, didn't your mother, who's lying in the hospital, tell you that it's best to leave some room for maneuver and not to be ruthless? Aren't you afraid that if I don't get the money, I'll take action against your mother? Don't forget, we're still husband and wife, and I have the right to decide her life or death."

Lin Zhi smiled knowingly and replied, "I've already had my lawyer prepare the documents, and we'll file for divorce in court when the time comes."

"you……"

Wen Rongbin's anger flared instantly, and he raised his hand to slap Lin Zhi hard across the face.

The slap was incredibly fast and powerful; Lin Zhi couldn't dodge it in time. She covered her ears, and it took a while for the tinnitus and stinging pain to subside.

She rushed forward, shoved Wen Rongbin hard, and roared, "Even if you beat me to death today, you won't get a single penny!"

"You unfilial daughter!"

Wen Rongbin was furious. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Lin Zhi and rushed forward to grab her by the neck.

A feeling of suffocation instantly spread throughout Lin Zhi's body.

She gripped Wen Rongbin's hands tightly, her heart breaking to the extreme, yet a faint smile remained on her face.

Wen Rongbin was stunned for a moment, and said, "You are so rich now. You can buy Anning with just 200 million. It's nothing to you. Why do you have to drive me to the brink of despair!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Zhi raised her leg and kicked Wen Rongbin hard in a vulnerable spot.

He shouted hysterically, "You drove yourself to this dead end. It has nothing to do with me, and even less to do with my mother."

Wen Rongbin, blinded by rage, grabbed a vase from the side and smashed it over Lin Zhi's head.

In the nick of time, Shen Mubai appeared and pulled Lin Zhi to safety.

Wen Rongbin was about to continue his deadly attack when Shen Mubai shouted, "Mr. Wen, if you don't hurry home, your creditors will be coming to your son's school to collect debts!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Rongbin turned pale and scrambled away.

Lin Zhi watched Wen Rongbin's departing figure, feeling utterly exhausted.

Wen Rongbin has no other way out and will certainly not give up.

She had just started her new life when...

……

Everything is calm.

Shen Mubai poured a cup of hot water for Lin Zhi and asked with concern, "Zhi'er, are you hurt?"

Lin Zhi gently shook her head.

Recalling the ferocious look on Wen Rongbin's face as he tried to strangle her, she still felt a lingering fear.

After tidying up, it was already noon.

Shen Mubai helped Lin Zhi find a suitable assistant and arranged to meet her at a nearby restaurant.

Lin Zhi went along to the appointment.

The other party was a young girl named Jian Yao who had just graduated from university. She was extremely interested in the jewelry designed by Lin Zhi, had a wealth of professional knowledge in this area, and was very enthusiastic. She was indeed a good candidate.

After it was decided, Lin Zhi took the initiative to treat everyone to a meal.

However, when the ordered dishes were served, Lin Zhi felt nauseous from the smell of sweet and sour fish and couldn't help but gag.

Jian Yao's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Sister Zhi'er, are you pregnant?"

Lin Zhi was stunned: "Huh?"

Jian Yao continued with a smile, "When my sister was first pregnant, she was gagging a lot, just like you. Sometimes she would even vomit into the toilet, bringing up stomach acid. If you don't believe me, you can go to the hospital for a checkup."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhi's face turned deathly pale.

Her hand unconsciously went to her lower abdomen. She remembered that the last time she was with Li Tingze, he took her many times, and except for the first time, he didn't use a condom.

Counting the days, she hadn't had her period for over forty days.

I've been so busy lately that I rarely get to eat on time, let alone during my period.

Lin Zhi felt it was very necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination.

If she gets pregnant with Li Tingze's child at this critical juncture, Li Tingze will never go through with the divorce proceedings, and may even go crazy and imprison her by his side again.

Thinking of this, she suddenly stood up, said "Excuse me" and ran towards the hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital, she went to get her urine tested as instructed by the doctor.

When she submitted her urine sample, she was bumped by a pregnant woman, and the urine in her hand almost spilled.

In her haste, she casually placed the urine cup on the table and turned to apologize to the pregnant woman.

The pregnant woman, clutching her seven-month-old belly, smiled gently at her.

When I turned around again, the urine cup had already been taken away by the nurse.

Lin Zhi had no choice but to return to the doctor's office and wait for the results.

During the wait, she was in extreme agony.

When the doctor called her into his office and handed her the test report, she didn't dare to look at the results section.

Seeing that she was alone, the doctor asked, "Ms. Lin, why did you come alone? Where is your husband?"

Lin Zhi's fingers trembled slightly as she looked at the words "6 weeks pregnant" on the report.

With a wry smile, she replied, "I... just got divorced."

The doctor paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Whether you keep the baby or not, go back and think it over carefully."

After leaving the hospital, Lin Zhi stood quietly by the roadside, watching cars come and go, but she didn't know where to go.

She was pregnant, carrying the great-grandson of the Li family that Grandpa Li had been longing for, and the biological child that Li Tingze had begged her to have...

But this child came at an inopportune time.

In the cold wind.

Her phone rang, and the caller ID showed Li Tingze.

She answered the phone, and Li Tingze's voice on the other end was urgent: "Lin Zhi, where are you?"
