The two had worked together for more than half a year, and he knew Wang Ying well.
She wouldn’t do something like that if it were something she could handle.
“I’m by the fountain at the Music Square. Come pick me up.”
“Sure, wait for me there.”
Lin Yi didn’t waste any time after hanging up the phone and drove straight to the Music Square.
He got out of the car and saw Wang Ying sitting on the steps with a black suitcase next to her. She was curled up like a lonely wanderer.
“Sister Ying!”
Lin Yi ran over in a hurry when he saw Wang Ying.
Wang Ying raised her head and hugged Lin Yi with tears streaming down her face.
“Little Yi… sob…”
“Alright, stop crying. Tell me what’s going on.” Lin Yi caressed Wang Ying’s back, trying to make her feel better.
Crying wasn’t going to solve the problem. He had to figure out what was going on.
“I’m homeless.”
“Homeless?!”
Lin Yi didn’t understand. Why was she homeless?
He looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him.
“Let’s go. This isn’t the place to talk. Come to my place first and we’ll talk about what happened.” Lin Yi said, “Don’t worry. If anyone bullies you, I’ll stand up for you.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you. I’ll leave after I find a place to stay. I won’t bother you much.”
“Don’t think about such useless things.”
Lin Yi brought Wang Ying back to Jiuzhou Pavilion as he spoke.
Wang Ying’s heart was calm when she saw the magnificent Jiuzhou Pavilion. Unfortunately, her heart was also filled with sadness.
Lin Yi made a cup of tea when they reached home and handed it to Wang Ying.
“You should be calm now. Tell me what happened.”
Wang Ying held the teacup with both hands, her tone calm.
“We’ve divorced.”
“Isn’t that good?”
Lin Yi wasn’t surprised at all. Their marriage had come to an end a long time ago.
Moreover, on the night of the car lesson, she saw her husband with another woman. With Wang Ying’s personality, Lin Yi would be surprised if she didn’t get divorced after that.
“He took the house and the car.”
“He cheated on you, and then you left with nothing?” Lin Yi frowned. “What kind of deal is that?”
“He said the house was under his name, so he took it away.”
“What about the car?” Lin Yi said. “When I bought the car, it was put underyour name.”
“Because it was my name, he said it was property obtained after marriage, so he took the car away too.”
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud.
He’d seen shameless people before, but he’d never seen someone as shameless as this.
“And just you left with your suitcase?” Lin Yi looked at Wang Ying. “You’re not usually such a coward.”
“He had a younger brother, Song Wenlong. He has connections out there, and he didn’t give me a chance to speak before he took the car and the house.” Wang Ying said with red eyes.
“If I had fought back then, they might have attacked me.”
“No wonder he’s so arrogant. He has someone backing him up.” Lin Yi said with a cold smile.
“Although we divorced, my plan was to split the house evenly, but I didn’t expect him to do something like this.”
“You stay here for now. I’ll handle this.”
“Yi, don’t be rash, there’s no need to fight them over me,” Wang Ying said.
“I still have a few thousand dollars, and I’m about to get my salary. I can rent a house.”
“Not only did he steal the house, he also stole the car I bought for you. Do you think I can tolerate this?”
“But Song Wenlong isn’t easy to deal with. He has a lot of people under him and a big sister protecting him,” Wang Ying said. “You’re a decent person, don’t deal with those people.”
“I’ll take care of this, don’t worry about it,” Lin Yi said in a low voice. “Do you know where they are now?”
“They were at home just a moment ago. They might have left by now.”
“They probably drove your car.”
Wang Ying nodded in response.
“Okay, I got it.”
Lin Yi took his phone and dialed Qin Han’s number.
“Old Qin, do me a favor.”
“Huh? Old Lin, Something’s wrong with your voice. What’s up?” Qin Han said seriously.
“Nothing much. Help me check for a car,” Lin Yi said. “It’s a white BMW 7 series. The license plate number is Zhonghai A38140. The sooner the better.”
“Okay, I’ll check it now. Wait for my update.”
“Thanks. I owe you one.”
“F*ck, what do you want from me? I still owe you one. Just wait for my update.”
After hanging up, Lin Yi tossed his phone aside. “Just wait, we’ll get word soon.”
Lin Yi was quite at ease with Qin Han handling things. With the Qin family’s connections, such a small matter wouldn’t be a problem.
This made Lin Yi sigh. A person like him who got rich overnight was still a little lacking compared to those big families that had stood tall for many years.
The most significant difference was in his connections.
He still had to work hard.
He looked at his watch and saw that it was already past six.
“Alright, these things are all in the past.” Lin Yi comforted. “It’s not a big deal. You should at least be happy that you got a divorce.”
“I am quite happy indeed.” Wang Ying said.
“But I just feel wronged. My hometown isn’t Zhong Hai. If you didn’t take me in, I would really be homeless.”
“Think about it in another way. This is also a kind of luck. At least you could still ask me for help.”
“That’s right.” Wang Ying chuckled. “In the past half a year, I haven’t doted on you for nothing. Now that I’m in trouble, you have come out to help me.”
“Didn’t you help me back then? It’s only right of me to return the favor.”
Wang Ying smiled and took a deep breath. Her mood was much better.
“Are you hungry now? I’ll go cook for you.”
“Don’t cook. I’ll order takeout.” Lin Yi said. “Pick a room upstairs. You can stay here for now. Don’t think of anything else.”
“I’m going to take a shower. I’ll come out with mud all over my face and I won’t even look like a woman anymore.”
“Okay, go.”
Wang Ying took her things upstairs while Lin Yi sat downstairs and ordered some takeout food to fill his stomach.
“Yi, you… why do you have women’s things here?” Wang Ying asked upstairs. “Could it be that you have a mistress staying in your palace?”
“What mistress? It’s Ji Qingyan’s things. She comes here sometimes.”
“No way, President Ji stayed here before?”
“Yeah, she stayed here when I first bought the Jiuzhou Pavilion,” Lin Yi said matter-of-factly.
“It’s been so long, and you still haven’t taken down President Ji?”
