Chapter 103 Getting a Divorce

Li Mu felt a little confused. What was happening right now was something he did not expect. He had expected Lin Wan to cry and threaten him that she would hang herself but it turned out she did not do that at all.

Now that he thought about it, Li Mu suddenly came to his senses. His wife did foolishly fall into someone’s trap. But wasn’t he the same? Lin Wan was right. Why were the videos sent to him? It was obviously to make him file for a divorce.

To be frank, he was also considered as one of the culprits. Since he knew his wife was being set up, why did he sit back and do nothing about it? Human made mistakes. Was the sentence “let her indulge to her heart's content” a valid reason for him to neglect his responsibilities as a husband?

“But why did you do all that? I don’t understand.” Pale, Li Mu asked.

“I've already said it didn't matter. Does the reason still matter if you don't trust me anymore? Does it still matter when you chose to team up with others instead of siding with me?”

Li Mu bowed his head in silence. And the corner of Lin Wan's lips curled into a small smile. She picked up her coffee cup and placed it over her mouth to cover her smile immediately.

Neither of them talked. After a while, Lin Wan said, “Let’s settle the procedures later. But I don't agree with the content of the divorce settlement. I don’t want anything from you. And I don’t accept your statement of property distributions. You should stop living outside. Go home. I’ve moved out already.”

Panicked, Li Mu lifted his head and said, “That's a small token of my appreciation. You…”

Lin Wan shook her head and interrupted him, “I don't need it. Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to be polite with you. I really don't need it. I’ve already topped up the five hundred and eighty thousand yuan I spent back into our account. By the way, I forget to tell you that my family is very rich. This sum of money means nothing to me.”

Li Mu finally grasped the reason and said in a gruff voice, “It's not about the money. You can spend a huge sum of money on birthday gifts for outsiders. But what have you ever bought for me? I’m your husband!”

“Is that why you're so mad? A huge sum of money?Haha, what a joke! Do you know what kind of life I led before I ran away from home? Five hundred and eighty thousand is only considered a huge sum of money by poor peasants like you!”

“You!” Li Mu's face was red after hearing her sneers. His mouth was open, unable to go on.

Lin Wan ignored his change in mood and went on, “I might as well tell you everything now. Mrs. Hong came back to Shanyang for me. And all her money is my money. Have you heard of Nanyun Resort Hotel? It is actually my property!”

Li Mu's jaw dropped and was completely stunned by what he heard.

“Do you know why I didn't tell you? It was because I was afraid of hurting that poor pride of yours. I wanted to find a chance to tell you after we leave the country and share all that I have with you. But seems like there’s no need for that anymore! You might think that the gift that was five hundred and eighty thousand yuan is very precious. But it's nothing compared to the gift I've given you!”

Speaking of this, Lin Wan subconsciously looked at her husband's wrist and immediately exclaimed, “Where's the watch I gave you?”

“Ah!” Li Mu was confused by the sudden question.

In the cafe, all eyes turned to them but Lin Wan didn’t care at all. Li Mu wore a diamond watch on his wrist. And the evidence of her affection for him which she regarded as a priceless treasure was nowhere to be seen.

“I'm asking you. Where's the watch I gave you?” Lin Wan screamed.

At this moment, her anger replaced her sanity immediately. And she forgot what Mrs. Hong had told her over and over again. What plans? What tricks and traps? Bullshit! Looking at Li Mu's dumbfounded expression, she couldn't help but slap him across the face.

Slap! A hard slap on his face made Li Mu furious. He slammed the table violently and wanted to stand up, but Lin Wan wasn’t going to let him get away that easily. Under the round glass table, she hooked her toe lightly.

Crash! Li Mu fell to the floor on all fours. And then Lin Wan pushed the glass table down as he fell. The two cups of coffee spilled all over Li Mu and he was drenched in coffee.

The fact that she did not hit him till he spit out blood was the least she could do just for old times’ sake. How dare he wore another watch instead?

She could now conclude that this pricey watch must have been given to him by that slut He Xiaoyu. Well, you asked for it. Who asked you to remove my token of love for you?

In a fluster, Li Mu got to his feet and asked angrily, “What are you doing?”

“What did I do? You were the one who lost your balance and fell down.”

“Then why did you hit me?” Aggrieved, Li Mu asked.

“Why did I hit you? Where's the watch I gave you?” Lin Wan shouted.

A waiter came over cautiously and gave them a friendly reminder, “Mr. and Miss, this is a public place. Please do not disturb the other guests with your commotion.”

“Get lost!” Li Mu and Lin Wan said in unison.

The waiter ran away immediately. Their aura was too overwhelming and powerful. These people were obviously patrons he couldn't afford to offend. So he’d better get the hell away from them!

After chasing the waiter away, Li Mu was too embarrassed to stay in the cafe any longer. He then walked out with a sullen and angry face.

Lin Wan grabbed her purse and chased after him. She dragged Li Mu to a halt and asked in a serious manner, “You haven't answered my question. Where is the watch I gave you?”

At this point, she pulled his wrist up and asked angrily, “Where's your wedding ring? Where did it go!”

“I threw them all away!” Li Mu exclaimed, “We’re getting a divorce anyway. And I don't give a damn about the cheap stuff you got me! I threw them all away. What the hell can you do about it?”

Slap! Slap! Lin Wan slapped him again twice.

He could not stand it anymore. This was unbearable! He, a man, was slapped by a woman in public! Li Mu was so embarrassed that he opened his hands and lunged at Lin Wan with the intentions to pick her up and carry her into the Civil Affairs Bureau to file a divorce.

Lin Wan took advantage of the situation and gave Li Mu a good beating. Lin Wan definitely used this chance to vent out all the grievance she suffered for all these years and beat him up really hard.

“Divorce. Let’s go for a divorce now!” Li Mu said while wiping away his nosebleed.

Lin Wan suddenly felt sorry for him. What was wrong with her? Why couldn’t she control her emotions? How could she hit her husband like that? She quickly took out a handkerchief to help him wipe his blood off.

Li Mu suddenly realized that his wife wasn’t lying at all. She could easily defeat He Xiaoyu for sure. He had just verified this statement was true on Xiaoyu’s behalf. She could never win Lin Wan.

“Let’s go. We’re going to the Civil Affairs Bureau!” Li Mu shoved Lin Wan’s hand away and stomped forward with a huff.

Lin Wan wailed and sobbed as she followed him. Looking at their expressions, she seemed more like a victim instead.

The two people who were in a car parked at the corner showed two very different emotions. At first, Mrs. Hong was very shocked. Then, she laughed so hard that she couldn’t even catch her breath.

Lin Kun, on the other hand, cheered and hoorayed out loud. He had to hold back his temper when he was treated as a punchbag by Li Mu. He was known as the “heir” of the Lin family and was such a prominent figure in the South Seas! He had never suffered so bad before. If it wasn't for the sake of Ms. Lin, he would have beaten Li Mu to the point where he couldn’t even take care of himself properly. He would never let himself be beaten up without fighting back at all.

It was as if Ms. Lin helped him to avenge his hatred for Li Mu today. Served him right, this idiot deserved a beating.

Mrs. Hong slapped him on the head and scolded him with a smile, “What are you cheering on about? Better keep your eyes and ears up in the next two days and kidnap Li Mu whenever you get the chance!”

“Mrs. Hong, they're getting a divorce soon. Is there still a need to kidnap him?”

“Why not? Lin Wan has casted a love spell on the both of them. How can we break the spell without tying him up?”

“Ah, a love spell? Has Ms. Lin gone mad?” Lin Kun asked in surprise.

“She definitely has gone mad. The love spell is no joke! There are a lot of side effects. You see, we can already see one of its after-effects. If it was in the past, how would Lin Wan beat her husband up?”

“He’s not her husband anymore!”

“Hmph. No one can say anything about this matter. Only Lin Wan can admit it herself!"

Li Mu and Lin Wan walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau one after the other. He slammed the table loudly at the Divorce Affairs Counter, “I want to file for a divorce!”

“Get in line!” The staff member inside replied without even raising her head up.

After taking a number, Li Mu sat down in the lounge area furiously. Lin Wan sat down next to him, her head bowed in thought.

When it was finally their turn, coincidentally, it was the same window as the one Li Mu slammed at. With her head still lowered, the lady inside asked, “Is it voluntary?”

“Yes!” Li Mu replied before Lin Wan could.

“What about the female party?”

“Yeah. Yes!” Lin Wan responded.

“Reason?”

“Domestic violence!” Li Mu replied before she could again.

The staff member finally raised her eyes to look at them and complained to Li Mu, “How can a man like you domestically abuse a woman? Do you have a divorce settlement?”

Li Mu was so mad that he couldn't help but curse, “Are you blind? Open your damn eyes and take a good look. Do I look like I’m the abuser with how flustered I am right now? I’m obviously the victim!”

The two finally changed their marriage certificate into a divorce certificate. The moment they got the certificate, Lin Wan couldn't help but weep again. Li Mu didn't feel good either.

After the divorce, Li Mu's anger has also subsided too. After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, he extended his hand towards Lin Wan.

“No matter whatever wrong have I did to you in the past, I’m pretty sure you’ve took your revenge today. Let's forget our past grudges. I wish you a happy life in the future!”

Instead of shaking his hand, Lin Wan stubbornly asked, “Did you really throw away the watch I gave you?”

“Why are you still dwelling on this matter? We're divorced now. Does it still matter whether I threw it away or not?”

“Of course, it does! Did you know that I knew no one and had no money with me when I first came here? I saved up five months of my salary to buy you that watch. You were mad at me for spending fifty-eight hundred thousand yuan on a gift for someone else. But they're not the same! To me, the five hundred and eighty thousand I spent was like a drop of water in the sea, whereas that watch was all I had when I was at my hardest!”

Li Mu dared not to look her in the eyes and stammered, “How did I know you were that rich? You didn't tell me before either. I thought you spent all my hard-earned money to buy a gift for your…”

“Spending all your hard-earned money to buy gifts for my lover, is that what you think of me? Do you think of me as such a despicable person? Since you watched the whole video, did you ever spot me having any intimate actions with him?”

“He wiped the corner of your mouth in the Western restaurant.”

“Scoff. That was the only intimate gesture. Then did you see that I reprimanded and warned him after that? Of course. I’m sure that you didn’t notice these details. How could you possibly side with me when your head was so full of anger and jealousy?”
