Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 363: Are You Trying to Kill Me with Anxiety?

Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Are You Trying to Kill Me with Anxiety?

Qin Juan’s return was beyond Lin Chuxia’s expectations. When she returned from shopping with Ningning, Qin Juan had already come back, bringing along a certification issued by Zhang Wenbin’s workplace leaders.

"Big sister, you’re amazing! I was thinking if it didn’t work out today, we’d go back tomorrow. You could have Qin Yang go with you. It looks like there’s no need for a prolonged battle. Didn’t their leaders try to persuade you?"

Normally, regardless of the fuss Qin Juan made today, as workplace leaders, they wouldn’t lightly agree to a divorce. There still should be some persuasive efforts.

Qin Juan, truly feeling relieved, even snorted at the mention.

"Their leaders now feel disgraced, having such a scandal in their unit. But after all, thanks to Jia Liang, this move was something no one anticipated," and it completely disgusted Zhang Wenbin’s workplace leaders.

"Today, I also heard about the decisions regarding Zhang Wenbin: seems like they want to dismiss him from public service. The same goes for Li Wenhong. Now, both are like rats across the street, hiding at home, too ashamed to see anyone."

"Some people can’t hide, even if they are ashamed. If I recall correctly, Old Master Zhang and Mrs. Zhang will be released in these next two days. Big sister, you and Ningning stay at home for a few days. Once things settle down, then go work at the Bun Shop."

She is not worried about big sister’s susceptibility to influence but fearful that the Zhang Family might desperately try to drag others down with them.

Qin Juan understands Lin Chuxia’s concerns and nods, saying, "I understand, sister-in-law, I’ll listen to you."

With the certification from the workplace leaders, the rest should be easy. Qin Yang directly accompanied Qin Juan to file for divorce at the courthouse, regardless of Zhang Wenbin’s unwillingness, this marriage had to end.

Soon, the court set a date for the session.

On the day of the hearing, Lin Chuxia arranged for Ningning to stay at the Bun Shop, asking Jia Liang and Gao Lele to help care for her, while the three of them went to the courthouse.

Arriving at the courthouse entrance, they saw from afar Qin Han’s car, number 121, and the Qin Family standing beside it.

Qin Juan stopped in her tracks and unmistakably looked towards Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia.

Qin Yang said, "I called mom and dad here. Big sister, with such matters occurring, you should have talked to the family earlier."

Now that a divorce is imminent, should it still be kept from the family?

Qin Juan was still unsure how to speak to the family when Mrs. Qin, with tears in her eyes, came over.

Without a word, she clapped a hand on Qin Juan’s shoulder, "Child, how could you not tell the family about such grievances? Are you trying to gouge out my heart? If your brother and his wife hadn’t come to the city, how long were you planning to keep this from us?"

"Mom..."

Qin Juan, starting to speak, was already sobbing.

Mrs. Qin tightly embraced her, tears uncontrollably streaming down, "You’ve endured so much yet didn’t tell me; do you want to drive me to death?"

"Sorry, mom..."

Mr. Qin, Qin Han, and Zhang Guilan also came over.

"Alright, no more crying. Today, no matter what, we’re going to get you this divorce. Even if you remain unmarried for life and stay with mom and dad, I won’t let you remain in that household."

"Yes, Juanzi, big brother will take care of you and Ningning."

Qin Juan kept nodding her head. Mother and daughter cried for a while before stopping their tears.

Mrs. Qin held Lin Chuxia, "Chuxia, Qin Yang told me everything about your elder sister, thanks to you."

If not for the attentive daughter-in-law, given her daughter’s nature of bearing good news but not the bad, who knows how much the Zhang Family might have bullied them before they found out.

Several people were talking when three figures approached from a distance.

Leading them was Zhang Wenbin, who seemed to have aged several years in just a few days. Although his hair looked deliberately groomed and his beard was freshly shaved, the numb look in his eyes and his wrinkled clothes gave him away.

Behind Zhang Wenbin were Mrs. Zhang and Old Master Zhang, both of whom had drastically changed.

Lin Chuxia knew they had been released from the police station just a couple of days ago. It was evident from their appearances that their days at the station were rough; both had lost a lot of weight and had more white hair than before.

Seeing these three, Lin Chuxia and Qin Juan couldn’t help but feel immensely satisfied.

However, Qin Han and Qin’s parents didn’t feel the same way; they hadn’t avenged Qin Juan themselves, so no matter what the Zhang Family looked like, it wasn’t satisfying in their eyes.

Qin Han rushed forward, grabbed Zhang Wenbin, and was about to throw a punch.

Zhang Wenbin, already used to being beaten these days, panicked at the sight of Qin Han’s fury, and instinctively yelled, "You can’t hit me; we are in front of the courthouse, careful or I’ll sue you for intentional injury."

Mrs. Zhang and Old Master Zhang hurriedly intervened, "Ah, dear relatives, this is just a misunderstanding, please, no hitting, Wenbin has already acknowledged his mistakes."

Gui Lan also stopped her husband; Qin Juan was about to divorce Zhang Wenbin, and if he was injured now, it could delay the divorce, causing a loss for Qin Juan.

Qin Han furiously let go of Zhang Wenbin, "Our family must have been blind."

Zhang Wenbin staggered then straightened up and adjusted his collar, his gaze landing on Qin Juan.

Not seeing her for a few days, Qin Juan looked healthier, seemingly even gaining some weight compared to before.

Seemingly having a rough time, while Qin Juan had been living comfortably, eating and drinking well at Qin Yang’s house.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhang Wenbin spoke up.

"Qin Juan, we’ve been married for so many years, don’t you care about our past at all? Think about how I treated you when we first got married. Have you forgotten all my kindness?"

Mrs. Zhang also chimed in, "That’s right, that’s right, which household doesn’t have its ups and downs? We can’t just think of divorce at every turn. Think about Ningning, she’s still so young; she can’t be without a mother."

After finishing, she also addressed Mrs. Qin, "Dear mother-in-law, Wenbin truly knows his mistake. He has been regretting these past days, telling us he wants to bring Juanzi back. Actually, these two kids’ relationship isn’t bad. I’ve watched them over the years, they’ve always been loving and peaceful. If you don’t believe me, go to the family courtyard and ask around, everyone says Wenbin and Juanzi are a model couple. This incident is really a misunderstanding. I don’t know who’s been stirring things up, making her hostile toward us. Just look at my head, it was Juanzi who pushed and injured me. You know what kind of temper your daughter has, would she do such a thing to her mother-in-law unless provoked? I think we should sit down and talk calmly. As Wenbin said, Ningning can’t be without a mom."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Lin Chuxia while speaking, the implication couldn’t be clearer.

Mrs. Qin snorted, "I raised my own daughter, I know her temperament well; if she wasn’t pushed to the edge, she definitely wouldn’t have struck. First, think about how you all bullied my daughter."

"Oh dear, mother-in-law, saying that really wrongs me to death. Let Juanzi tell you how I bullied her."

Mrs. Zhang had lived with Qin Juan for so many years, she knew Qin Juan’s temperament well—she was the least likely to complain.

Not just to her own mother, even when she occasionally did something overboard, Qin Juan wouldn’t dare make a sound.
