Rong Shaoze did feel a bit tired, and he stood up, saying, "Dad, please take care of Mom. Mom, I’m going to rest, call me if you need anything."
Rong’s mother smiled contentedly, "Understood, go get some sleep."
Rong Shaoze left the room and went to his private bedroom to rest.
Rong’s father asked Rong’s mother, "How long will the medicine last?"
"The doctor said it can last for twenty-four hours. By the time he wakes up, it will be tomorrow," Rong’s mother said with a proud smile.
"By then, everything will be resolved, Lin Xinlan will be gone, and he won’t have anything to say, nor will he be able to do anything to us."
Rong’s father asserted with an air of authority, "We are his parents, what can he possibly do to us? Even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn’t have any complaints against us. Besides, we are doing all this for his own good, and he will understand."
Rong’s mother nodded, but she still felt a bit uneasy inside.
Early in the morning, Rong’s mother personally drove to pick up Lin Xinlan.
She got into the car with her backpack, and Rong’s mother handed her the divorce agreement.
"This is the divorce agreement, please sign it, and then I’ll have someone immediately annul your marriage registration."
Lin Xinlan took the document and wrote down her name without hesitation.
As she made the final stroke, she felt as if the heavy shackles that had been weighing her down were finally being lifted off her.
"I will attend the press conference only after I receive the divorce certificate," she stated.
"Don’t worry, that’s a given," Rong’s mother said indifferently.
Even if Lin Xinlan hadn’t requested it, Rong’s mother wanted to settle this matter quickly, to avoid further complications.
The press conference was scheduled for eight-thirty in the morning; it had initially been set for nine-thirty, but Rong’s mother changed the time at the last minute, wanting a swift resolution.
Once Lin Xinlan received the divorce certificate, Rong’s mother also handed her a bank card.
She also told her, "I have already taken your files from the police station and destroyed them. You have no need to doubt whether I truly did it. After all, keeping your records would also be an insult to the Rong Family. You were once the Young Madam of the Rong Family. Moreover, if the police were to catch you, Shaoze might also be able to find you. I don’t want my son to continue his obsession with you, so I will not give him any chance to find you."
Lin Xinlan nodded and sincerely said, "Thank you, Madam."
Rong’s mother nodded slightly, "You will face the journalists on your own later. My assistant, as well as the lawyer, will go with you. Don’t be afraid, say what you need to say, and once it’s over, you can leave."
"It’s almost time, you should go."
Lin Xinlan took a deep breath and followed a group of people into the venue.
Even though the time was moved up an hour, a large number of journalists had arrived. Seeing Lin Xinlan emerge, many cameras pointed at her, and the reporters began to whisper among themselves.
"Why didn’t Rong Shaoze come?"
"He isn’t chickening out and sending his wife instead, is he?"
"What do you think she’ll say? Will she spill what Shaoze has done?"
"Don’t know, let’s just wait and see."
Listening to the murmurs from below, Lin Xinlan kept a calm expression, the corners of her mouth hinting at a faint smile.
Rong’s mother’s assistant Arlene whispered in her ear, "Remember not to misspeak later. If you can’t handle it, don’t speak at all, leave everything to me."
Lin Xinlan responded softly, as if to agree.
When the time came, she faced the microphone with a friendly smile...
Rong Shaoze slept deeply, yet because of the things on his mind, his sleep was restless.
