Chapter 86: Chapter 86 My mom has not wronged you, nor has she wronged Seo Zhenzhen

Zhou Lin approached and said indifferently, "I’ve already given the orders. Bai Zhuzhu will be handed over to the police."

Cheng Zhiwei was startled. He was actually going to send Bai Zhuzhu to the police station. Could Seo Zhenzhen bear it?

Or, was this just another play they were acting out?

She had long since given up on Zhou Lin, so such news was completely unstartling to her.

"I’ve rearranged for a new caretaker..."

"There’s no need," Cheng Zhiwei interrupted Zhou Lin and scoffed, "The caretaker you arrange, my mother cannot afford to endure."

Zhou Lin: "Cheng Zhiwei, can’t you speak properly?"

"Zhou Lin, can’t you stop speaking with a tone that suggests everything is my fault? Today, when Seo Zhenzhen came here on purpose to aggravate my mother, and she had to go through the emergency room once again, do you still think it’s my fault?" Cheng Zhiwei’s emotions had calmed down, but they were stirred up once again.

"I can accept whatever torment you inflict on me, but Zhou Lin, my mother has done nothing wrong to you or Seo Zhenzhen. I beg you, can I? Please do not harm my mother; she cannot take it."

Cheng Zhiwei’s emotions were violently turbulent, tears hanging in her eyes, stubbornly refusing to fall.

Emotions churned in the depths of Zhou Lin’s eyes, his hand clenched and unclenched, "Cheng Zhiwei, you..."

"Or what do you want before you’re willing to stop targeting my relatives and friends?" Cheng Zhiwei asked, his entire being exhausted, devoid of strength.

If Meng Qiancheng’s incident had made her realize what kind of heartless person Zhou Lin really was, then the incident with Guo Cuihua was the beginning of her compromise.

Zhou Lin was about to speak when the door to the ward was pushed open.

Lin Yu rushed in like the wind, "I heard Cuihua had an accident."

Without needing to guess, it must have been Zhang Yuanheng who had tipped him off.

"Zhiwei, what exactly happened?"

Cheng Zhiwei bit her lip and slowly sat back down, concealing all her hate and pain, "It might be that the toxins in her body weren’t completely cleared out."

Despite her best efforts to disguise it, Lin Yu still sensed her feeling of helplessness.

Lin Yu’s expression darkened slightly as he pulled Zhou Lin outside, "I heard that after Seo Zhenzhen came here, Cuihua fainted, right?"

Zhou Lin remained silent.

Seeing his expression, Lin Yu became angry, "Ah Lin, I already gave you enough time to handle this, but you’ve disappointed me,"

"I will arrange for someone to take good care of them and won’t let Zhenzhen disturb them again." This was the best solution Zhou Lin could think of for the moment.

However, Lin Yu disagreed with this approach, his tone solemn and extremely cold, "Since Seo Zhenzhen’s treatment hasn’t finished, she should go back and continue her treatment."

The implication was to send Seo Zhenzhen overseas.

Zhou Lin frowned, "Her by herself overseas..."

"Wasn’t she also by herself overseas before? Didn’t she live well?" Lin Yu interrupted him harshly, "Also, don’t forget what you promised me before."

Zhou Lin fell silent once again.

"Tonight, I will send her away. Zhou Lin, you wouldn’t want me to send her to a place you don’t know, would you?"

This threat proved more effective than any other words.

"I understand, I’ll take her," Zhou Lin chose to compromise, knowing full well that Lin Yu meant what he said.

And he was certain his father would support his mother, so forcefully opposing them wouldn’t work.

"Also, there’s a business meeting at the company this Friday. You’ll bring Zhiwei with you then. Your father and I will publicly reveal her identity at that time," Lin Yu announced once again. Previously, due to the negative impact of that incident, it was the Cheng Family’s request to keep their marriage confidential.

But look at the outcome of keeping it secret: Zhou Lin’s unbridled behavior.

Zhou Lin didn’t know what he was thinking, but he didn’t oppose the matter.

Soon after Lin Yu left, Guo Cuihua woke up and Cheng Zhiwei hurriedly helped her sit up and lean against the head of the bed.

Guo Cuihua’s emotions were still very agitated, "Divorce, we must divorce."

Cheng Zhiwei lowered her head, unable to control her tears, which fell one by one, filled with humiliation and heartache.

"Mom," she called softly, "that’s my business, and I will handle it well."

Guo Cuihua frowned, "Even now, you’re still unwilling to divorce?"

She truly regretted not settling the matter at the Zhou family the first time Cheng Zhiwei mentioned divorce; who would have known that Cheng Zhiwei would have second thoughts now.

What was she thinking?

Cheng Zhiwei held back a thousand pounds of heavy thoughts in her heart, unable to voice any of them, she could only endure Guo Cuihua’s disappointed gaze and continued, "I know, I know everything, Mom, please take good care of yourself, you don’t need to worry about these things."

But Guo Cuihua misunderstood, "Do you think I’m meddling too much?"

"I’m not."

"Cheng Zhiwei, when you married Zhou Lin, I asked for your opinion, and you were willing to marry him, so I didn’t object. But now that he’s treating you this way, you still like him—what’s wrong with you?" Guo Cuihua was furiously confused.

Yet, amidst her anger, she thought it odd that Cheng Zhiwei had wanted a divorce but was backpedaling now.

She eyed Cheng Zhiwei suspiciously, "Is Zhou Lin threatening you?"

Cheng Zhiwei nearly blurted out a yes; the word rolled around in her throat but she swallowed it back, how could she dare let Guo Cuihua know that Zhou Lin was threatening her by using the people around her.

She dared even less to let Guo Cuihua know that her fainting from anger was Zhou Lin’s retaliation.

No matter how bitter it was, she could only swallow it down bit by bit.

"It’s not that. I just feel unwilling to give up, and I want to try to win back his heart a bit more," Cheng Zhiwei said in a low voice, speaking against her own heart. Her fingernails pinched crescents of blood from her palms, but she didn’t feel the pain, only cautiously observing Guo Cuihua’s expression, hoping she wouldn’t get agitated again.

Guo Cuihua’s chest ached, but what could she do? Cheng Zhiwei didn’t want to divorce; she couldn’t force her to get the divorce certificate.

Only disappointment remained.

After three years, Cheng Zhiwei still hadn’t grown up.

"I’m sorry, Mom."

"You haven’t wronged me; you’ve wronged yourself." Guo Cuihua, disappointed as if she couldn’t forge Cheng Zhiwei into steel, didn’t want to speak anymore and wrapped herself in the blanket, turning away.

And naturally, she didn’t notice Cheng Zhiwei covering her mouth, tears streaming silently down her face.

The airport.

Cheng Zhiwei was brought here by Lin Yu, not knowing why in the autumn cold wind, thinking perhaps they were here to pick someone up.

Until she saw Zhou Lin pushing Seo Zhenzhen in.

"What is this?" she asked subconsciously.

Lin Yu pulled her hand to loop through her arm, elegant and languid, "Today, Mom will let you know that not just anyone can covet the position of the Zhou family’s Young Madam."

As her words fell, Zhou Lin and Seo Zhenzhen had already approached.

Seo Zhenzhen greeted her with polite tenderness, "Auntie."

Lin Yu raised her chin in a nod, watching Seo Zhenzhen with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "Miss Seo, I hope you don’t blame me. After all, our family still has some face in Yucheng, and our family absolutely does not permit situations involving mistresses or lovers."

Her words carried a seven-part smile but were exceptionally sharp and merciless.
