Wang Dahai chuckled with a cheeky grin. "Sister Han, you're so pretty, there's no need for you to pay. If you're interested, there are plenty of young men who would happily come forward."
"If I ever get that idea, make sure to think of me first, rather than letting outsiders benefit."
"Stop that talk!"
Han Lan shyly sputtered out a retort, this little rascal, still going on about it.
"Alright, alright, I'll stop."
Wang Dahai grinned and immediately shut his mouth.
Joking like that is all about timing and knowing the audience.
He wouldn't make such jokes with girls like Wu Yun, who are inexperienced.
But Han Lan is different.
Her child is all grown up, and she's been single for many years.
Plus, the nature of their relationship is out in the open.
Even if Wang Dahai were to make a lurid comment, at most she would only feel embarrassed, not angry.
Wang Dahai has always had a good grasp on where to draw the line.
After massaging for a while and seeing her gradually relax, Wang Dahai boldly suggested: "Sister Han, why don't you take off your clothes? I can massage your back as well."
Han Lan's body tensed up suddenly, not responding immediately, lost in thought.
After a few seconds, she said: "No need."
"Oh." Wang Dahai felt a bit disappointed.
"It's getting late, I should go back."
She stood up and walked towards the exit.
Wang Dahai quickly followed.
Upon leaving the teahouse, Han Lan said, "I'll contact you if there's any news."
"Oh, sure."
Wang Dahai stood at the entrance, watching her leave.
After a while, he also left.
Back at the company, it was quite boring.
Close to the end of work hours, he suddenly received a call from Huang Tingting.
He immediately picked up his phone and walked to the hallway: "Miss Huang, what's up?"
"His boss is coming over tonight." The anger in Huang Tingting's voice was palpable.
Wang Dahai was taken aback, instantly understanding her meaning.
Hu Quan, coming over tonight again?
How could this guy, in the midst of divorce proceedings, still be interested?
And with Qin Fuhai brought down, how could he still entertain such thoughts?
Wang Dahai felt puzzled but didn't bother to ponder.
"What are you thinking?" Wang Dahai asked.
"I'm going to call the police!"
Huang Tingting's body was shaking with rage.
"Don't call the police just yet."
"It's not a wise move to call the police now," said Wang Dahai.
"Here's what we'll do: I'll come to pick you up."
"Wait a bit, we'll talk when we meet."
"Mhm."
Wang Dahai went downstairs, rode his bike, and met up with Huang Tingting.
She was dressed in a chic women's suit, standing outside the street office.
Her face showed anger and sadness.
"Miss Huang." Wang Dahai called out.
She walked over and Wang Dahai patted the pillion seat: "Get on the bike first."
Half an hour later, the vehicle stopped outside a restaurant, and Wang Dahai said, "Let's eat something first."
"I'm not hungry."
"You still have to eat something, plus I'm quite hungry."
Huang Tingting hummed in agreement and followed him into the restaurant.
Having finished the meal, it was already growing dark outside.
At this moment, Huang Tingting's phone also rang.
Wang Dahai glanced at it; the caller was Liu Ming.
"Answer it, tell him that you were suddenly assigned to go on a business trip by your boss."
Wang Dahai's suggestion gave her a backbone; she answered the call and briefly talked before hanging up.
"Let's go."
Leaving the restaurant, Wang Dahai said, "You should stay outside for the next few days, I'll book a room for you."
Huang Tingting asked, "But what about after that?"
These problems might be avoidable temporarily, but they couldn't be postponed forever.
She wanted a complete resolution.
She couldn't bear to stay in that house for another minute; she was afraid.
Afraid that she might be violated again after falling asleep.
Wang Dahai said, "Let's wait a bit longer."
"How much longer do we have to wait?" Huang Tingting was getting impatient.
"I'll make a phone call to ask."
Wang Dahai also knew the kind of pressure she was bearing inside, sighed, and called Ning Mei.
"Hello, Sister Ning..."
He briefly explained the situation on this end.
After listening, Ning Mei said, "Hu Quan is not willing to divorce now, I can only proceed through the lawsuit process."
"A lawsuit would take at least half a year."
"That's too long."
Wang Dahai had a headache, half a year was definitely not going to work.
Ning Mei said, "Let's talk more when I get back tonight."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Dahai said: "Let's go to a hotel for now. This issue will definitely be resolved. I can assure you that, before it's solved, his leader won't hurt you anymore."
Huang Tingting hummed in agreement, not saying anything else.
Anyway, Wang Dahai was helping her.
If it weren't for Wang Dahai, she would still be kept in the dark.
After settling her in the hotel, Wang Dahai went back home.
Jiang Yiren and Wu Yun hadn't returned yet.
They weren't eating at home tonight, so the two of them were having dinner out.
"Sister Ning, haven't had dinner yet?"
"Not yet."
"How about going out for something to eat?"
"No, I'm going to order takeout later."
Ning Mei patted the sofa, "Sit down and let's talk."
Wang Dahai asked, "Is filing a lawsuit the only option?"
Ning Mei said, "There's another way."
"What way?"
"I'll leave the marriage empty-handed."
"What?"
"What what." Ning Mei said, "All the money has been transferred away by me. Leaving empty-handed won't affect me."
Wang Dahai was startled, then immediately understood her meaning.
Yes, the transferable money had all been moved by her.
Now, between the couple, the only money remained was on Hu Quan.
Even if Ning Mei chose to leave empty-handed, she actually wouldn't be at a loss.
Moreover, Hu Quan still hadn't discovered the situation with the house being mortgaged.
Once he found out, it would rather be unfavorable for the divorce.
Wang Dahai nodded: "When will you talk to him, Sister Ning?"
"Tonight."
"That urgent?"
"It's not me who's in a hurry."
Ning Mei sighed, "That young girl must be suffering, right?"
Wang Dahai knew that she was considering Huang Tingting.
Indeed, Huang Tingting's heart was in torment.
Ning Mei took out her phone and called Hu Quan.
"I have time tonight, come out and let's meet, to talk about the divorce."
Hu Quan was surprised to get the call, "Okay, where?"
"I'll call you back when I get home."
After hanging up, Ning Mei said: "I'll go see him in a while, you come with me but make sure he doesn't see you."
Ever since she knew Hu Quan wanted someone to sleep with her, Ning Mei dared not meet him alone.
Even outside, she didn't dare.
Around six o'clock, Ning Mei said, "Let's go, find a place first."
"I will call Senior Sister and inform her."
"Not even dating yet, and you've started reporting your whereabouts?"
Ning Mei teased with a smile, tinged with a bit of envy.
Wang Dahai gave a sheepish smile, didn't explain, dialed Jiang Yiren, and briefed her on his engagement tonight.
After hanging up the phone, he and Ning Mei left the house and arrived at a restaurant.
Wang Dahai and she sat back-to-back at two tables.
About half an hour later, Hu Quan arrived.
Hu Quan didn't see Wang Dahai, sat down, and smiled, "Wife, why did you come back so early?"
Seeing his feigned affection on his face, Ning Mei just felt nauseated: "Give me five million, and I'll divorce you immediately."
