Lin Lanxing left without waiting for Lin Qiutong's reply. From now on, whether Lin Qiutong lived or died, whether she was happy or miserable, had nothing to do with her.
The Civil Affairs Bureau at 2:30 PM.
After a series of procedures, Lin Lanxing obtained her divorce certificate.
She found it ironic that she had gotten married in a daze but divorced with complete clarity.
Life was truly full of surprises. She used to like Guan Mingxu and dislike Shen Qiwen, yet she married Shen Qiwen due to various complicated reasons.
Later, she gradually developed feelings for Shen Qiwen, only for him to tell her that he had never loved her.
Heh… From beginning to end, she was the biggest and most foolish fool.
As she walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Shen Qiwen called out to Lin Lanxing, "I heard you went to see Tongtong. How is she now? Was she scared?"
Lin Lanxing looked at him with mockery, but her chest ached. "Heh… You truly love her, don't you? You were willing to marry a woman you didn't love for three years for her, and you could even tolerate your own son recognizing another man as his father for her."
Shen Qiwen frowned. He hadn't slept all night due to Lin Qiutong's matter, and his complexion was unusually bad. "Lanxing, I'm the one who wronged you. It was me who forced Tongtong back then…"
"Is that so? Heh… Even if you forced her back then, have you been forcing her every time for the past three years? Does she not have hands to push you away? Or no mouth to call the police? Even if she said she didn't dare to call the police for the sake of her reputation and the Lin family's name, she would have at least confessed to me, right? Sadly, she didn't!"
Shen Qiwen opened his mouth to say something more, but Lin Lanxing waved her hand impatiently. "Enough. Don't try to exonerate Lin Qiutong, and don't apologize to me insincerely. I won't accept any of it. As for your question, I can answer you. Lin Qiutong is not doing well. I even think she's going crazy!"
Seeing Shen Qiwen's handsome face turn drastically ugly at her words, Lin Lanxing felt a surge of pleasure from revenge.
If she had felt some pain when she was taking revenge on Lin Qiutong, then taking revenge on Shen Qiwen carried absolutely no burden.
If she had to describe any emotion, it would be anger.
Today was the day they divorced, yet Shen Qiwen's heart and eyes were solely on Lin Qiutong.
Anxious, weren't you?
Suffering, weren't you?
The more pain and torment they experienced, the more it would compensate for the deception she had endured for the past three years and the agony she felt upon discovering the truth.
Not long after leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lin Lanxing received a call from her parents.
Lin Qiutong's matter had caused such a stir online, even impacting the reputation of Lin Group. They couldn't possibly be unaware.
Lin Lanxing knew she had to let her parents know some things and returned home directly.
She presented her parents with evidence of Lin Qiutong's affair with Shen Qiwen over the past three years and her betrayal.
She also explained why Lin Qiutong was arrested and her alleged framing of Song Guanliang for kidnapping and extortion.
"Dad, Mom, I know that even after discovering Lin Qiutong is not your biological daughter, you still love her dearly and have deep affection for her. But you can't judge a book by its cover. I've already explained the pros and cons to you. Please consider it carefully yourselves."
Looking at the videos and photos, Lin Xing'an and Ye Fanglin were shocked and filled with disbelief.
They could not believe that their cute and obedient daughter could have done such things.
Thinking of something, Lin Lanxing suddenly let out a loud laugh. "Sometimes I truly feel we deserve to be a family. Your biological daughter is clearly Mu Yuxin, yet you've showered all your love on Lin Qiutong, only to be deceived so miserably by her in the end."
"Xingxing…" Ye Fanglin called out, her voice complex and displeased.
"Especially you, Mom. Mu Yuxin at least donated bone marrow. But after you were discharged from the hospital, you never cared about her, did you? See… our entire family is so cold-blooded and heartless, pouring all our emotions onto an insignificant woman. Today's events are our retribution."
Hurt, Lin Lanxing was like a porcupine, pricking anyone she saw, as if making everyone suffer with her would make her feel better.
"I've said what I needed to say. I'm in a bad mood lately and want to travel. You two, think it over carefully!"
After speaking, Lin Lanxing got up and left. Lin Xing'an and Ye Fanglin looked at her retreating back, exchanged glances, and sighed heavily.
"Old Lin, have we been wrong all along?"
Lin Xing'an patted his wife's back. "You're not feeling well, don't overthink it. Leave this matter to me to handle!"
Lin Xing'an ultimately felt a bit soft-hearted. Although he didn't go to see Lin Qiutong himself, he still found a lawyer for her. Coupled with Shen Qiwen's money and connections, Lin Qiutong successfully gained access to a lawyer.
The summer sun blazed, and the heat had persisted for several days. Everyone was feeling restless.
In Mu Yuxin's dessert shop, Shen Keqin, Miao Zi'ai, and Song Qinian were drinking iced coffee, discussing Lin Qiutong's situation.
Shen Keqin grew more indignant with every thought. "Hmph… Lin Xing'an, after living all these years, doesn't know what's important and what's not. Knowing that Lin Qiutong cuckolded his daughter, he can still find a lawyer for her. On the other hand, Yu Xin, his own daughter, endured unimaginable pain to donate bone marrow, yet they still have no intention of acknowledging her. They deserve to be unhappy as a family."
Song Qinian was surprised that Lin Xing'an was such a "saint" that he would help Lin Qiutong find a lawyer.
He seemed to have completely forgotten that if it weren't for Lin Qiutong's biological mother, Feng Wanhui, his daughter Mu Yuxin wouldn't have been separated from them and suffered for so many years.
However, even finding a lawyer was useless now, because Shen Chiyan had collected evidence of Lin Qiutong framing his father and submitted it. This time, she couldn't escape.
Miao Zi'ai strongly agreed with Shen Keqin. "Yu Xin is the most pitiful. Speaking of which, how has Yu Xin been lately?"
Shen Keqin shook her head, and both of them turned their gaze to Song Qinian.
Song Qinian also shook his head. Except for the time Zang Zang had an accident, he hadn't seen Yu Xin in almost two weeks.
However, Guan Mingxu said Yu Xin was fine, so she should be fine.
Mu Yuxin was indeed fine. Although Guan Yang didn't let her go out, he at least left her phone. She could contact the employees at the shop and know the situation there.
But she rarely contacted Song Qinian, mainly fearing that when Guan Yang went mad, he would cause trouble for Song Qinian.
Even though Song Qinian was protected by Shen Chiyan, Guan Yang wouldn't be able to do anything to her, but she didn't want Nian Nian to be bothered by Guan Yang's affairs.
Moreover, Guan Yang was busy with something and hadn't returned for several days.
People are really prone to talking about others. Just as she thought of it, Guan Yang returned.
