Lin Ming was shaken to his core!
Xuan Xuan was his and Chen Jia's biological daughter.
In order to keep Xuan Xuan, Chen Jia, who had always been proud and never submissive, was now displaying such humility and meekness.
What kind of karma had he created!
"They say that couples are like birds in the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they each fly their own way. Are we doing that now?"
Chen Jia endured and endured, but eventually, her eyes turned red and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Lin Ming, I remember you said that you would treat me well, love me forever, and give me the best life, make me the happiest woman in the world."
"I don't dare to ask for too much, I just want to live a simple and happy life with you. But why is it so difficult for me, something so easy for others?"
"I'm not afraid to suffer hardships with you, I'm not afraid of the gossip of relatives and classmates, I just want you to be a little kinder to me, a little kinder to Xuan Xuan!"
As Lin Ming looked at the tearful Chen Jia, his heart was breaking.
He wanted to embrace this woman, who he had berated countless times, but when he reached out, Chen Jia instinctively stepped back, as if afraid that Lin Ming would hit her again.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
With his nails deeply embedded in his flesh, Lin Ming could only utter these three words, not knowing what else to say.
"Forget it, the most worthless thing between us is the phrase 'I'm sorry'."
Chen Jia wiped away her tears. Just then, the divorce registration area began calling numbers.
"Let's go."
Chen Jia walked towards the registration office, her expression indescribably complex.
Lin Ming saw the hesitation on her face.
This poor woman... she still loves him!
"Chen Jia!"
Lin Ming rushed forward and grabbed Chen Jia's arm.
"Give me a chance, give me one last chance!"
"If I ever mistreat you again, I deserve to be struck by lightning and die!"
Chen Jia trembled slightly.
All the past events flashed through her mind again, making her last trace of hesitation disappear.
"You can't change, you will never change, I won't trust you again." Chen Jia smiled bitterly.
From the first time Lin Ming laid hands on her until now, Chen Jia had given him countless chances.
But what was the result?
The leopard can't change its spots!
"Chen Jia, I swear, from now on, I will treat you well, treat Xuan Xuan well, and I will work hard to earn money..."
Before Lin Ming could finish, Chen Jia had already reached the registration office.
She turned back to look at Lin Ming, who was standing still. "Do you want me dead before you're satisfied?"
Hearing this, even the staff at the registration office frowned and gave Lin Ming a cold glance.
They had heard all kinds of reasons for divorce over the years, but to push a woman to this extent was truly despicable.
Silently approaching the registration office, Lin Ming took out various documents and credentials.
He couldn't push Chen Jia into a corner. This woman had suffered too much injustice and unfairness. If he stubbornly persisted, she might actually do something extreme.
Now it was useless to say anything. Chen Jia had made up her mind to divorce him, seemingly the only way out for her.
"Since I can't salvage this, let's start over!"
Lin Ming clenched his fist, thinking to himself, "Jia Jia, I will show you a different me. I will compensate you for all the grievances you have suffered over the years!"
Exiting the Civil Affairs Bureau, Chen Jia looked down at the divorce certificate in her hand.
She didn't feel happy to be rid of this rotten person, nor did she feel the relief of a new beginning. Instead, it seemed like she had lost something most precious, her face incredibly pale.
Forcing herself to remain upright, Chen Jia said, "From now on, I hope you can truly mend your ways and be a decent man."
"And about my dad... Uncle and Auntie, they are getting old and cannot bear any more shocks. If you don't want them to know about the divorce, I can help cover it up."
"Thank you." Lin Ming nodded.
Even after the divorce, Chen Jia was still considering him. Lin Ming truly hated himself.
Chen Jia seemed surprised by Lin Ming's attitude.
According to Lin Ming's character, he should be raging with embarrassment right now. Chen Jia had even prepared herself for another round of abuse.
However, Lin Ming just quietly watched her, his gaze making Chen Jia feel uneasy.
"Sis!"
Just then, a figure ran over.
It was Chen Jia's younger brother, Lin Ming's brother-in-law, Chen Sheng!
After fighting with Lin Ming yesterday, Chen Sheng's left face was still slightly swollen, not yet recovered.
"Divorced?"
Chen Sheng snatched the divorce certificate from Chen Jia's hand and laughed, "Divorced, great, finally divorced from this trash, finally rid of this scum!!!"
After speaking, Chen Sheng kicked Lin Ming in the stomach.
Lin Ming staggered back and fell to the ground.
"Huh, not even dodging?"
Chen Sheng sneered, "You dog, I was blind back then to let my sister agree to you. Look at your behavior now, even the beggars on the street are better than you!"
"If I could go back in time, even if I had to die, I wouldn't let my sister marry garbage like you!"
Lin Ming bowed his head in silence.
He knew that Chen Sheng was probably waiting here because he was worried that Lin Ming would hurt Chen Jia again.
Saying he was garbage, there was really no mistake.
Lin Ming even hoped that Chen Sheng would kick him a few more times, to vent the anger in the hearts of the siblings.
"You, with the surname Lin, let me tell you, you have nothing to do with my sister now. If you dare to harass her again, I'll kill you!"
Chen Sheng clearly had no intention of kicking him again. After saying that, he pulled Chen Jia away.
Watching the taxi gradually disappear from sight, Lin Ming stood up.
"Jia Jia, wait for me."
"This time, I will not let you down!"
