Chapter 454: Does What You Said Before Still Count?

Lin Chuxia parked the car to the side, reminding Zhang Guilan to wait for her in the car while she got out alone.

At this moment, the voices nearby became clear.

There were the angry voices of teenagers, the cursing of a man, and the wailing of a child.

The onlookers were even more abuzz with discussions.

"I heard this man has someone on the side, that young man is the woman’s brother, he’s here to stand up for his sister."

"Oh dear, how can he stand up like this, he can’t even win in a fight."

"Exactly, isn’t it said this man is truly despicable? He wrongs his wife, lets his brother-in-law hit him a few times to vent, but he dares to fight back."

"If you ask me, such a man should just get divorced..."

Lin Chuxia pushed through the crowd and could clearly see the situation inside.

Yang Rui from the Department Store was entangled with a teenager.

The teenager was clearly no match for Yang Rui, yet he fiercely lashed out at Yang Rui.

Yang Rui, seemingly driven to desperation, initially just dodged but started to fight back later.

As he fought back, Wang Tianxue nearby also became anxious, but she was still holding a child in her arms, afraid to harm the child.

Just as Yang Rui was about to strike again, a small hand grabbed his wrist.

Dazed, Yang Rui took a fierce punch to the face, the pain pulling him back to his senses, he angrily looked at the person who grabbed his hand.

"What... Mr. Lin?"

Yang Rui still had a memory of Lin Chuxia.

At the same time, Wang Tianyu and Wang Tianxue also saw Lin Chuxia.

The siblings reacted differently.

Wang Tianyu, full of joy, said, "Sister Lin, what are you doing here?"

Thinking back to how if Sister Lin hadn’t helped, he wouldn’t have been able to hit this bastard and would have been punched instead, he felt even more grateful to Lin Chuxia.

Wang Tianxue didn’t expect her brother would know Lin Chuxia, her gaze toward Lin Chuxia became more complex.

Lin Chuxia nodded at Wang Tianyu, shook off Yang Rui’s wrist forcefully, and sarcastically said, "What kind of ability is it for a grown man to lay hands on a woman and child?"

Yang Rui also realized his predicament and was displeased with Lin Chuxia’s sarcasm.

"Mr. Lin, this is my family matter. You don’t know the full story and intervened, I haven’t minded that, but please watch your words and don’t make reckless comments."

The moment he mentioned Lin Chuxia, Wang Tianyu couldn’t hold back.

"Is Sister Lin making reckless comments? My sister bore your child while you messed around with another woman on the side, how can you be fair to my sister? You are just acting like a hooligan, I am going to sue you for hooliganism."

Many of the onlookers, who had gathered after Wang Tianyu and Yang Rui started fighting, now knew the whole backstory and looked disapprovingly at Yang Rui.

Although in recent years, with the loosening of policies, hooliganism has hardly been mentioned.

Yet such immoral acts are still despised by people.

Yang Rui felt humiliated being watched by the crowd, his face grim as he looked at Wang Tianxue, "You think it’s honorable to disgrace yourself in public like this? Wang Tianxue, you never used to be like this, don’t exhaust the last bit of goodwill between us."

Wang Tianxue scoffed, "You and I ran out of goodwill a long time ago, don’t flatter yourself."

"You... I tell you, I am not going to divorce. If you want to leave, you leave, but the son stays with me. Don’t even think about taking my son away."

After dropping these words, Yang Rui directly swept his sleeve and left.

Wang Tianyu wanted to chase after him but was stopped by Wang Tianxue.

"Sister, we can’t let him leave like this."

"What else can we do if we don’t let him go? Fight him again?"

Wang Tianyu’s face flushed with embarrassment; he is her brother and should stand up for his elder sister, yet he could never beat that scoundrel.

Worrying, he looked at his big sister. "Then what do we do? Are you not going to divorce him?"

Just thinking about that possibility, Wang Tianyu felt that his sister was suffering a great injustice, and the youth became angry again, "If it really comes to it, I’ll call dad and uncle over, the family will support you."

Wang Tianxue looked at her brother with a bitter smile, recalling what her mother had told her a few days ago: Why divorce? You’re an adult, how do you still not understand? Your brother finally got into university, bringing glory to our Wang Family, and now you’re dragging him down? Not to mention having a divorced elder sister at home, how will he even start a relationship, saying you’ve divorced and become a remarriage prospect, what kind of in-laws will you find in the future? Which man doesn’t make mistakes? Yang Rui has said he would change, just scare him for a couple of days, then go back to your normal life. Think about the children; children definitely can’t be without a mother.

"Mom, the children will not be without a mother; they will just be without a father."

"Nonsense, do you still think about leaving with the child? Not to mention whether Yang Family agrees, your father and I do not agree. Bringing a child back, how will you marry in the future? What do you want the village to think about our family? Do your father and I still want to be respected?"

...

Her thoughts recaptured, Wang Tianxue turned to Lin Chuxia and handed over the child in her arms to her brother, "Take Xiao Long over there to play, I need to talk to Mr. Lin."

Wang Tianyu did not know when his elder sister got to know Sister Lin; he had not yet told his big sister about the favor Sister Lin had done for him.

However, seeing his elder sister’s expression, he didn’t hesitate, took over his nephew, and went to a distant tree to play.

It was only after they walked far away that Wang Tianxue spoke, "I... visited Qin’s Restaurant before."

Lin Chuxia nodded, "I heard about it, guessed it was you."

Wang Tianxue pursed her lips, "Do your words from before still hold?"

Looking at her brother’s reaction just now and remembering that her brother had seen the sister who helped him at Qin’s Buns Shop, along with Qin’s Restaurant, Wang Tianxue had already figured something out.

It’s just a fleeting meeting, why would anyone help you?

Good-hearted Lin Chuxia? Or because you’re from the same An City? Wang Tianxue did not think so.

But Wang Tianxue didn’t care anymore.

The reaction from her maternal family these days, Yang Rui’s persistence about their child, she had already given up everything.

As long as there was hope, she would not give up, even if it cost her life.

In her eyes, Lin Chuxia saw determination.

The Wang Tianxue she knew in her previous life, apart from the desperate woman at the beginning of their collaboration, later became a woman repeatedly returning in disappointment after losing her child.

Even so, she never gave up.

This is a girl who, once determined, never gives up easily, full of tenacity.

Lin Chuxia nodded, "It counts, Wang Tianxue, I feel we are fated, though I don’t know what I can help you with, just ask, and I am willing to help you."

Wang Tianxue chuckled lightly, "I never believe in fate, but as long as you help me gain custody of the child, I’m willing to go through fire and water for you, ask me to do anything."

Lin Chuxia: "..."

Sister, I really did it for our connection.
