After the divorce, the CEO knelt down every night begging for remarriage.

Chapter 21 Unless… she returns to Li Tingze's side

The onlookers surrounded them, but no one offered any help.

Lin Zhi used all her strength to help and drag Lin Wanxin out of the crowd.

Su Nianqing persisted, reaching out to pull Lin Zhi away: "We haven't finished talking yet, don't even think about faking illness to escape..."

Lin Zhi raised her hand and swung it, hitting Su Nianqing squarely in the face.

A loud crack echoed throughout the hall.

Su Nianqing felt a burning pain on her face.

She never imagined that Lin Zhi would attack her in public.

He stood there, stunned for a moment.

Lin Zhi glared at her coldly and hurriedly went to find a doctor.

Lin Wanxin's condition was very bad, and she was rushed to the operating room for emergency treatment.

The surgery lasted four hours.

When the attending physician brought Lin Wanxin out of the operating room, he said with a serious expression, "Mrs. Li, we absolutely cannot let your mother suffer any more shocks. Her condition is not optimistic. She was able to be saved this time, but there is no guarantee that she can be saved next time. If she suffers any more shocks and her emotions fluctuate too much, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on until a heart transplant is found."

Lin Zhi's legs went weak, and she almost lost her balance.

She followed them blankly back to the ward, and looking at Lin Wanxin lying unconscious on the bed, tears slowly fell from the corners of her eyes.

She regrets it.

I regret bringing Lin Wanxin to the hospital for a check-up today.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have happened to run into Su Nianqing, which greatly shocked Lin Wanxin and caused her to be hospitalized again.

She thought: she had to get a divorce.

Only by distancing themselves from everyone who has caused her and her mother misfortune can they be reborn.

However, just as this thought crossed Lin Zhi's mind, she saw Wen Rongbin peering into the ward from outside.

She was startled.

He quickly went outside and closed the door.

She asked softly, "How did you find your way here?"

"How dare you ask me that!" Wen Rongbin was furious, glaring at Lin Zhi and angrily questioning, "Didn't you go to plead with Li Tingze last time?"

"Does it matter whether I go or not? Do you think Li Tingze will change his mind because of my few words?"

"If you hadn't filed for divorce, he wouldn't have ended his cooperation with the Lin family! The Lin family's cash flow wouldn't have dried up, and they wouldn't have been so heavily indebted and on the verge of bankruptcy in such a short time. Your brother wouldn't have ended up in a situation where no school would accept him." Wen Rongbin became more and more angry as he spoke, his voice growing louder and louder as he shouted, "If I had known I would be ruined like this by you, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and spared you and your son. I thought that by marrying Li Tingze and climbing the social ladder through the Li family, the Lin family would rise to prominence. Who knew that you couldn't help the Lin family at all, and you even stood by and watched them die! The old saying is really true, raising a daughter is not as good as raising a dog; at least a dog knows how to guard the house!"

Lin Zhi felt ice-cold all over, and a chill ran through her.

With red eyes, she stared into Wen Rongbin's eyes and said with a bitter smile, "How dare you speak ill of me? Before Grandpa passed away, he raised us. After he died, you exposed your true colors and brought other women home, kicking my mother and me out of the house. If it weren't for Grandpa Li's help, my mother and I would have died on the street as you wished."

Wen Rongbin was put in a very awkward position and had no words to refute it.

With a stern face, he pushed Lin Zhi, "Get out of my way."

Lin Zhi sensed something was wrong and asked, "What do you want to do going in there?"

Wen Rongbin's face darkened, and he sneered, "Of course, we should get my wife to sign the sale consent form. We should sell the Lin family business as soon as possible so that we don't end up losing both our money and our people."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhi quickly grabbed the doorknob and stopped Wen Rongbin.

If Lin Wanxin found out that Wen Rongbin wanted to sell the Lin family business that his grandfather had worked so hard to build, she would definitely be so angry that she would have a relapse.

She would not allow Lin Wanxin's emotions to be further agitated.

Lin Zhi grabbed Wen Rongbin's arm and walked towards the fire escape: "I will not allow you to bother my mother again, and I will never let you sell Lin's!"

Wen Rongbin shook off Lin Zhi's hand, his mind made up: "I have to sell, whether I want to or not!"

After saying that, he rushed towards Lin Wanxin's ward again.

Lin Zhi turned pale with anger. She chased after Wen Rongbin and stopped him, saying, "I won't let you in!"

Even if the sky falls today, no one can stop me!

"Get out of my way!"

Wen Rongbin used great force to push Lin Zhi away.

Lin Zhi stumbled and bumped her waist against the guardrail.

She didn't feel any pain; instead, she became increasingly lucid.

Deep down, he knew that Wen Rongbin would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Just as Wen Rongbin opened the ward door to go in, she grabbed his wrist tightly. As he tried to shake her off again, she asked, "How much do you want for it? I'll give it to you!"

Wen Rongbin stared at Lin Zhi with a cold gaze, and after a long while, he smiled and said, "If you had told me you were rich, why would I have gone to such lengths?"

"Tell me, how much do you want to sell it for?"

“Five hundred million.” Wen Rongbin made a five-point gesture and softened his tone: “Originally, I planned to sell Lin’s for one billion and then split the proceeds with your mother. But since you are the one buying Lin’s, her share will naturally be deducted.”

Lin Zhi definitely wouldn't believe Wen Rongbin's nonsense.

He probably just wants to trick Lin Wanxin into signing the consent form and then run away with the money.

She didn't want to say a single unnecessary word.

He said calmly, "Give me time, and I'll find a way to raise 500 million for you. Don't go back on your word then."

Upon hearing this, Wen Rongbin's face showed displeasure.

He stared at Lin Zhi and asked with a sneer, "What are you planning to use to make up the difference, and how long will it take?"

"I……"

Lin Zhi was speechless.

She hasn't even secured the money to find a heart donor through special channels, so she really doesn't have the ability to raise 500 million.

unless……

She returned to Li Tingze's side.

"No matter what method you use, if you can't come up with 500 million by this time tomorrow, I will make your beloved mother sign the sale consent form and sell the Lin family business, even if it means coercion!"

Wen Rongbin left immediately after uttering his threat, confident that Lin Zhi would not disappoint him.

She wasn't completely desperate; Li Tingze was her only way out.

……

Lin Zhi watched Wen Rongbin leave before returning to her ward with peace of mind.

She sat beside the hospital bed, looking at Lin Wanxin who was still unconscious, her eyes reddening and moistening again.

I sat quietly all night.

As soon as it was light, Lin Wanxin woke up and looked at Lin Zhi anxiously. Her voice was hoarse as she said, "Zhi'er, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for dragging you down."

Lin Zhi felt a lump in her throat.

Perhaps she shouldn't have insisted on divorcing Li Tingze, and shouldn't have let Lin Wanxin continue to suffer.

As if she had made up her mind, she forced a smile and shook her head: "Mom, don't worry, everything will be over soon."

Lin Wanxin guessed what she was thinking, her voice choked with emotion, offering only silent comfort.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness and bitterness.

In the end, Lin Wanxin said nothing and let Lin Zhi make her own decision.

Lin Zhi left the ward and went directly to the Li Group.

The assistant led her to the president's office.

Li Tingze was still in a multinational video conference when he looked up and saw Lin Zhi, but his face showed no surprise.

Lin Zhi didn't disturb them and sat quietly on the sofa waiting.

I waited for three hours.

She thought a lot during those three hours.

I considered looking for other methods.

I've thought about giving up entirely.

The thought of the severe consequences of doing so made her hesitate in the slightest.

Li Tingze finished the meeting and quietly looked at her.

Seeing her dark circles under her eyes, her tired face, her restless state, I felt an indescribable sense of unease.

He stood up and walked up to Lin Zhi, looking down at her: "Why did you come empty-handed?"

Lin Zhi looked completely bewildered.

After a moment, he realized that he was talking about cooking for him, and immediately stood up helplessly: "I'll go back and cook right now."

As soon as I took a step, I was pulled into a familiar and warm chest.

A deep voice sounded in my ear.

"If you're not here to deliver food, then you must have something to ask of me!"

He spoke with absolute certainty, as if he had seen right through her.

Lin Zhi's heart sank into an abyss.
