Taking the phone, Lin Wan took a glance at it and immediately covered her mouth with her hand.
She saw a video of a mad woman lecturing her husband on the street. That was right. That madwoman was her. And that man who was beaten up badly in the video was now sleeping in the room.
In fact, she went easy on him. If she really wanted to act ruthlessly, it would only take less than one second for Li Mu to die. But she wanted to teach her husband a lesson hence he was only injured. This was why he looked so miserable in the video!
“Who recorded this?” Lin Wan asked in horror.
“I don't know. Nowadays there are a lot of people who have nothing better to do. It's not clear who recorded it. But the word has gotten out to a lot of people. Lin Kun even said that you were almost trending now!”
Lin Wan was totally dumbfounded. She could not possibly be trending. How would her husband forgive her if she embarrassed him like this? She should think about it. How could she go out in the future? She would be judged by everyone everywhere.
“What should I do? What should I do?” Lin Wan repeatedly chattered these words, her mind going blank.
Once her husband found out about this, he would be furious for sure! No one wanted to have such publicity. It was a disgrace to be beaten up by one’s wife in the streets!
Buzzing, Mrs. Hong's mobile phone vibrated again and Lin Wan hurriedly checked the messages received. It was Lin Kun who sent another message to Mrs. Hong about the latest updates.
According to him, the video went viral very quickly and several versions had appeared online, including a dialect version, a version with music, and a version conducted by the legal system.
The topics were also varied, such as a martyr woman admonishing her scum husband on the streets; what happened when you found yourself a mistress; a scumbag who betrayed his relationship was beaten up by his girlfriend; and so on and so forth. All the blames were directed at Li Mu without exception.
You couldn't blame the crowd for being biased. Well, with Lin Wan being so pretty and eye-catching, she was crying bitterly while beating him up. Hence everyone agreed that Li Mu must have done something wrong and deserved a beating!
Lin Wan was on the verge of tears. Just when everything was finally not in a huge mess, some idiot who had nothing else better to do made her worry once again! She could not wait to find this person and kick him to death!
Mrs. Hong reassured her immediately by telling her to take it easy and calm down to think of a comeback.
She then made a phone call to Lin Kun and scolded him immediately, “Don't you fucking find fun in this. Hurry the hell up and find a way to cut down the impact or you'll piss Miss Lin off and she will have your skin ripped off!”
Lin Kun was obviously frightened and hastily promised that he would use the family's power to control the spread of the video to the greatest extent possible and eliminate the negative impact on Li Mu.
After arranging this matter, Mrs. Hong asked Lin Wan, who was still dazed, “Think carefully. Who do you least want them to see this video?”
“My husband!” Lin Wan replied without hesitation.
“No chance of that. He'll see it for sure. Figure out how you're going to deal with him. He shouldn't be too hard to deal with though. Aren't you quite good at seducing him? Is there anyone else?”
“Yes, my in-laws!” Lin Wan said with a sobbing voice.
Lin Wan was very clever and immediately grasped the point of the matter. Her husband was easy to deal with, but once her in-laws found out about it, the outcome might be different.
As a parent, if they saw their son being so “famous” for this reason they would be unhappy for sure. If they found out the reason for their divorce, the hope of remarriage would become very slim.
“How’s your relationship with your in-laws?” Mrs. Hong asked.
Lin Wan nodded her head profusely and said confidently, “We have a very good relationship. They like me a lot, especially my mother-in-law. She has always liked me!”
“How about Li Mu. How is his relationship with his parents?”
“It's great too. He's always wanted his parents to come and stay together with us. It's just my in-laws doesn't want to. They insisted and said that distance was the soul of love. That's why they live separately.”
“Where do they live now?”
“They live in a senior residence with great conditions. My husband and I are both reassured about their living conditions.”
“Okay. We'll go and find them now.” Mrs. Hong decided instantly and pulled Lin Wan up to leave.
Lin Wan hurriedly said, “Mrs. Hong, it's so late. Going there now will disturb them from having a good night’s rest. Let's wait until after dawn!”
“You fool. You can't afford to wait until dawn. You must explain the matter to the two elders and gain their support before they see the video. Once they see it first, you will be at disadvantage.”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Hong pointed towards the guest room and laughed in a low voice, “Didn’t you want to chase her away? Only your in-laws can do this. No matter how wild that girl is, she wouldn't dare to put up a fight in front of the two of them.”
Lin Wan's eyes lit up. This was a good idea indeed. As long as she could pull her in-laws to side with her, all her problems would be solved. Alright, let's do it!
This time, she didn't even need to be pulled by Mrs. Hong and took the initiative to drag her out of the house instead.
Li Mu's parents lived in a senior citizen's flat in a mountainous area, where they rented a suite and enjoyed the scenery.
They were pretty open with their thoughts. Instead of insisting to live with their son, they emphasized on the importance of living separately and giving each other enough space.
The old couple went to bed earlier the previous night and were woken up by their daughter-in-law while they were sleeping. Li Mu and his wife had the key to the flat. So Lin Wan who was anxious enough opened the door and entered directly without informing her in-laws beforehand.
The old couple sat up in a daze and was still in a daze. But when they saw their daughter-in-law sobbing profusely, they were startled and thought that something bad had happened to their son.
After asking about the situation, they found out that their son was sleeping at home and that they were divorced.
Wait a minute, divorced! The old couple immediately woke up and came to their senses completely.
What was going on? Why did they divorce all of a sudden? What happened?
Lin Wan turned on her crying mode and explained dramatically. The old lady felt sorry for her daughter-in-law and thought that there was no need for a divorce for this nonsense. It was nothing much anyway. At most, it was just because she was too kind and loving. What was wrong with her son?
When she heard that her son was abetted by a mistress, and that the mistress was living in the house without fear, the old lady was furious and wanted to call Li Mu. She wanted to scold her son first and avenge on behalf of her daughter-in-law afterwards.
The old man was still sensible enough not to be biased. After stopping the old lady, he asked Mrs. Hong, “Sorry, we don’t seem to know you, do we? May I know who this lady is?”
Mrs. Hong smiled sweetly and said, “I am Lin Wan's family member. Everyone calls me Mrs. Hong. The two of you can just call me Miss Hong!”
Mrs. Hong said with a smile, “I dare not lie to the both of you, Uncle and Auntie. Lin Wan may be too embarrassed to explain. So let me make it clear to the two of you!”
Under the old couple’s stare, Mrs. Hong began to introduce Lin Wan's true identity.
She didn't hide anything at all, and told the whole story of Lin Wan's family background, such as how she grew up, why she came to Shanyang and why she chose to hide her true identity.
Oh! Ah! Yes! Tsk.
The old couple were very shocked. They never expected that this daughter-in-law of theirs was not simple at all. Not only was she a young lady from a prestigious family, but she had also experienced such a difficult life.
The old lady liked Lin Wan the most and immediately took her daughter-in-law into her arms and said to her with a sob, “Lin Wan, if I had known this earlier, I would have lived with the two of you. Don't be sad. From now on I am your mother. I will love you just like how I’ll love my own daughter!”
Lin Wan hugged her mother-in-law and cried, moving the old man to tears as well.
They were on the same line now. And as far as they were concerned, nothing else mattered except the issue of remarriage. And of course, their son being beaten up did not even matter anymore.
The old lady wanted to drag Lin Wan home and was ready to settle the score with her son.
The old man hurriedly stopped them and said to his wife, “Honey, don't be in a hurry. Think about it. Our son's temper is like donkey. The more you go against him, the more he will fight back. We have to think of a good way to do this. We can't simply treat him roughly. Be careful. What if it backfires?”
“What ideas do you have then? That brat needs a beating up. That’s what he needs! I shouldn't have listened to you in the first place and shouldn't have let them live alone. Look, that brat has become such a bastard now that he’s not staying with us. It really pisses me off!”
Mrs. Hong also persuaded, “Auntie, don't rush things. Uncle has a point. Li Mu do not take challenges against him lightly. If we push him too hard it’ll make things worse. I have an idea though. I wonder if you two would like to hear it?”
The old couple hastily asked Mrs. Hong to be straightforward and the latter took the opportunity to tell them what she intended to do. The old couple clapped their hands. After coming up with a conclusion, Lin Wan and Mrs. Hong went home happily.
Li Mu slept until dawn. And after stretching his back, he felt refreshed. He turned his head and saw Lin Wan sleeping beside him, with a charming look and a smile on the corner of her lips, looking really cute.
He suddenly came to his senses. This was his ex-wife. And they were sleeping under the same blanket. Most importantly, his fiancee was in that very house!
He quickly rolled out of bed and opened the door with his bare feet, and realized the room was quiet outside. He crept to the guest room and peeked in through the slit of the door to see that Xiaoyu was still asleep and showed no sign of waking up.
Just when he was about to turn and leave, someone slapped him hard on the shoulder. This slap almost knocked Li Mu's soul out of his body. He hurriedly turned around to see his ex-wife standing behind him, looking at him cross-eyed.
“What are you looking at?” Lin Wan asked. How dare her own husband peek at another woman like this? If she didn't have a plan in place, she'd make him pay for what he did! It was not like she hasn't beaten him up before!
There was a bit of truth in the saying that there was no end after you’d started when it came to domestic abuse.
