Chapter 324: Chapter 324 She Got Hit Again
Qiu Shuai and Zhao Gongji ridiculed Xi Wanlin for a while, then left the lawyer’s letter and walked away.
Xi Wanlin sat there, her face pale.
After a while, she suddenly lost her temper and smashed a bowl on the table.
“What are you doing? What are you doing?” Lu Lei yelled at her, staring at the ss on the ground.
He cared for Xi Wanlin, who was pregnant; he did all the household chores and even mopped the floor. Now that it was a ss, he would have to mop again later.
Xi Wanlin stood up angrily and yelled back at Lu Lei, “You spineless wimp!”
“You’re calling a spineless wimp?” Lu Lei was so mad he felt like smashing a bowl too: “In what way am I spineless?”
“Others are bullying us right to our door, and you just stand there, not even farting a word. Do you even know how to protect ?”
Lu Lei said wordlessly, “What do you want to do? Beat up those two who just ca? And then what? People like them won’t let things go easily. They’ll definitely seek revenge. Do you want to not be able to live in Yun City over a mont of pride? I’m not your ex-husband, nor your parents. I can’t always indulge you and spoil you like this!”
Xi Wanlin felt like her heart was shattering, “You keep saying you love , but is this love?”
“Do you think this is love? This is indulgence! Indulgence is equivalent to committing a cri!” Lu Lei picked up a broom to start sweeping the floor.
Xi Wanlin sat dumbfounded on the sofa, feeling like there was no one around to rely on.
…
Su ixi and Gu Wei were also having dinner.
Gu Wei was very busy, but knowing that Su ixi had been in a bad mood recently, he made it a point to co ho to have als with her every day.
“As for that radio station, maybe you shouldn’t go anymore.” Gu Wei said, and casually picked up a rib for her.
Su ixi said, “I won’t go.”
Because of this scandal, the viewership of her wellness show had increased significantly, with half genuine fans and half haters. If she were to capitalize on the heat, she might even beco a local celebrity.
Therefore, the TV station kept requesting her to continue the program.
There were even so internet celebrity agencies that wanted to sign her up.
But Su ixi really didn’t want to go anymore.
All she wanted was to live a quiet life; she had never aspired to be famous.
With fa cos trouble, and who knows what other rumors would be fabricated later. If it weren’t for soone protecting her, she didn’t know what kind of cyber-bullying she would endure.
Lately, she had to wear a mask when she went out to avoid being recognized.
Gu Wei added, “Regarding Xi Wanlin, I’ve already hired a lawyer. Unless there’s an accident, we should definitely win this lawsuit.”
Su ixi nodded.
She had to fight this lawsuit; she couldn’t just keep tolerating Xi Wanlin because of her relationship with the Xi Family.
“I heard that Xi Wanlin is pregnant. She’ll probably hire a lawyer too and won’t appear in court.”
Su ixi said, “That’s irrelevant to us. She didn’t quiet down even knowing she’s pregnant. I won’t forgive her mistakes just because she’s a pregnant woman. Even if we win the lawsuit, I just want her apology; I don’t need compensation.”
Gu Wei nodded approvingly. His woman did not choose to step back and yield, so he would firmly stand by her side.
…
Xi Wanlin received a subpoena from the court, and in that mont, she finally realized that in this world, there really was no one left to indulge her.
She had no backer anymore.
A daughter of a high-ranking official, reduced to the extent of being sued, found herself in utter disgrace.
She had no choice but to stiffen her resolve and seek a lawyer to represent her in this lawsuit.
On this day, she went to the hospital.
She no longer wanted the child in her womb; she felt its timing was off. In her current state of chaos, she couldn’t bear the arrival of a child.
“Miss Xi, your child is already over two months old, it’s a bit late for you, and in another week you could even get your pregnancy docunted. Are you sure you want to abort it?”
Xi Wanlin nodded, “Yes, I’m sure.”
The doctor scheduled an appointnt for her and asked her to co back after a week.
She did not discuss this with Lu Lei, but only notified him to co over after the procedure was done.
Lu Lei rushed to the hospital in a fury, and regardless of Xi Wanlin’s frailty, he began yelling at her in the ward, “Why did you abort our child?”
“I don’t want to have a child so soon!” Xi Wanlin replied lightly; she had just undergone the abortion and was still weak.
Stimulated by her indifference, Lu Lei suddenly grabbed her hair, slapping her left and right, “I’ll teach you to be vile, I’ll teach you to be vile!”
Xi Wanlin was slapped until she beca disoriented, seeing stars and buzzing in her ears, with a burning pain on her face.
After slapping her face, Lu Lei dragged her down forcefully; she was brutally thrown onto the floor.
And then ca a round of punches and kicks…
Fortunately, a nurse passing by intercepted in ti, otherwise Xi Wanlin feared she could have been beaten to death.
She suffered a minor concussion from the beating and countless injuries of all sizes across her body, necessitating a transfer from the obstetrics to the surgery departnt.
The doctors couldn’t stand by and watch, “Do you want to call the police?”
In cases of dostic violence, doctors would professionally inquire, but if the patient didn’t want to press charges, they would not pry any further.
Lu Lei had already cald down; he interjected imdiately, “No need for that, right, Linlin? I was wrong, I shouldn’t have hit you, but you truly enraged this ti. How could you go and abort the child on your own? Don’t you know how long I’ve been looking forward to this child? Imagining holding it every day, telling it stories, longing for our child to grow up quickly so that the three of us could hold hands and play in the park. It was you who provoked this ti…”
Currently still frightened, Xi Wanlin ignored Lu Lei and did not choose to report him to the police, instead, she just told him to leave.
Worried about upsetting her further, Lu Lei had no choice but to leave.
Xi Wanlin lay in the hospital bed, feeling utterly alone and overwheld by sadness.
She blad herself for her misfortune, for why did everyone from her past have to leave her one by one?
She hated this!
After lying in bed for half a day, a middle-aged woman arrived in the evening.
“Linlin, you are Linlin, right?” the middle-aged woman asked.
The middle-aged woman appeared very kind and also quite anxious.
“Who are you?” Xi Wanlin asked.
“I am Lu Lei’s mother; he told he did sothing wrong and asked to co and take care of you right away.”
Lu Lei’s mother had always been in Hu City helping her daughter with childcare, and since Lu Lei had not held a wedding ceremony, Xi Wanlin had never t her mother-in-law.
Still harboring resentnt towards Lu Lei, Xi Wanlin said, “I don’t need your care, please leave. Your son beat so severely, I’ve already decided to divorce him.”
“I know he was wrong, and I scolded him for it. However, Linlin, your health is what’s most important now. Even if you truly want a divorce, it should wait until you’re better. Are you thirsty? What would you like to eat? I ca in a rush and didn’t have ti to cook. Tell what you would like; I can go buy it or cook it at ho.”
