"Do you truly believe that your family will be able to stay the same without my help?" Zhang Huan asked her as he glared at her.
"Maybe. Maybe not. But what I do know is that you are the reason for us to be in the situation in the first place and it would be a lot safer for us to not have a snake like you in our family." Xiao Lin said to him as she kept her glare on him.
"You will regret this decision of yours." Zhang Huan said with gritted teeth at hearing her.
"We shall see. " Xiao Lin said to him with a glare of her own.
Zhang Huan gave her one more glare before he signed the divorce before he threw the papers at her. Xiao Lin was unfazed as she just watched him with the glare as he stormed out of her room. She could hear the voices of her family asking him about it as he just told them to ask her before he left the house.
Xiao Lin sighed to herself as the man had finally left her home. She was glad that he didn't make her angry enough for her to actually attack him, she knows that she will be able to beat him due to her cultivation.
But she looked at her door as her parents and sister appeared as they have distressed looks on their faces. She had already thought about the scenario for this in her mind, but it is much easier to think of that that acting on it, as she is feeling uncomfortable from their faces.
"I know you want to ask about why he left." Xiao Lin said as she looked at them.
"Yes, why did he leave like that? He had just returned after all." Xiao Jie said as she looked worried.
Xiao Lin let out a sigh as she knew that it will be a difficult thing to say to her family and their reactions are going to be a handful as well.
"We broke up." Xiao Lin said as she decided that just telling them will be best.
"What? What do you mean you broke up?" Xiao Fan asked as he looked at her in confusion.
"Divorce. We decided to have a divorce. Or rather, I made him." Xiao Lin said to them seriously.
It took a few moments for her words to sink in and be processed by her family, but the moment it did, their eyes widened in shock as they looked at her with wide eyes and opened mouth.
"What!?" The three of them shouted in shock at hearing her words.
'Yeah, there it is.' Xiao Lin thought to herself as she winced at the faces of her family.
"What do you mean you two divorced!? What reason would you have to do something like that!?" Xiao Fan asked asked her distraught at the news.
"He's right dear. He is needed for us to help our family. Why would you do that!?" Xiao Jie asked her daughter with fear in her voice.
"Yeah sis why?" Xiao Ling asked her sister in confusion.
Xiao Ling knew the position of her family and knew that they needed the help of the Zhang family. While it wasn't that had, for a family such as hers which were part of the upper echelons of society, it wasn't something feasible.
"I'll tell you the reason. Just sit down for a bit. Okay." Xiao Lin said to them calmly as they nodded to her and sat on the couch in her room.
While they didn't understand the reason for her to do something like that, they had trust in her since she is a pretty capable person. But her mother and father are upset regarding the situation since their family will face troubles without the support of the Zhang family.
After Xiao Lin has made sure that her family have calmed down and are seated on the couch before she decided that it was time to tell them. After that she told them about Zhang Huan and his actions and plans which was the reason for their family to reach such a state. She told them about how she had learned about it and that is the reason as to why she had decided to divorce him.
"Wait, he is the reason we are in such a situation?" Xiao Ling asked in surprise as she looked at her sister.
"Yes. He is the reason why our family is like this. I was really angry when I learned about it." Xiao Lin said with distaste as she remembered it.
"But even so, we did need the support of his family, because currently our situation isn't good." Xiao Fan said to her daughter with a grim look.
"I am not allowing the man who was responsible for our family's situation to stay close to us anymore. We don't know what he will do with the time he has on us. And I especially don't want him having sway over my company." Xiao Lin said to them seriously as she crossed her arms.
"But sis, what are you going to do now?" Xiao Ling asked her sister worried about what will happen.
"I have made some plans after this. You just have to trust me on this." Xiao Lin said to her family with a serious face.
Xiao Fan and Xiao Jie looked at each other at hearing that and then looked at their daughter and nodded to her. Xiao Ling went to her sister's side and hugged her as Lin slightly hugged her back.
"Are we going to be okay sis?" Xiao Ling asked her sister as she looked at her.
"We will." Xiao Lin said to her and rubbed her head affectionately with a small smile on her face.
'I will make sure of it. I'm not going to let my family become ruined or lose our position. And Wen, I hope that you will help me like you said you would.' Xiao Lin thought to herself as she hugged her sister.
At this time, Wen who was watching her from his place smiled at the sight of Zhang Huan leaving the place angrily.
'Whatever the case may be, she has a good family, though that doesn't mean that they are all good considering how they treated me.' Wen thought to himself as he watched them.
He watched them as Xiao Lin comforted her sister as he hummed to himself as he stopped watching them. Then he looked at the night sky as he smiled at the starry sky which gave a beautiful and breathtaking view, something which was enhanced by his own better eyesight.
"That is a beautiful view. Perfect for the start of my plans." Wen said to himself as he smiled at the sight.
