Whether it was good or bad, it didn't matter to her at all. She calmly replied, "He never told me about these things. According to what you said, he didn't take me to heart, so there are many things that he won't tell me."
"Stop putting on an act! If he doesn't care about you, why does he want me to annul my marriage? He didn't even mind if his uncle wanted him back in the company! Isn't this all for you! " Lin Xi’er gave a heavy shout! It was only yesterday that she found out that Jiang Lingchen had raised her at home, and they were like a family. It was natural for a man to have a woman outside, but now, he was willing to dissolve the marriage between her and that woman. He didn't even want everything from him! He was willing to part with anything that an ordinary person would want for several lifetimes!
"If you want money, I can give you as much as I want. I promise I won't tell him, I will never let him know that you took my money, as long as you agree to leave him! No matter how much money you spend is not a problem. If you continue to stay by his side, all of his brilliance will disappear, and the child will no longer enjoy all the preferential treatment. He will have nothing at all. Lin Xi’er seemed to be truly moved as she lowered her posture and begged her in a low voice.
Bai Jinxi listened to her quietly and was shocked! In this past half a month, she had tried many different methods and it would hurt if she used even a little bit of strength, but she had stopped paying attention to the ring after that. If Lin Xi’er was right, and he wanted to end their marriage, then what was going on with this ring?
She remembered that he had scolded her that no one would ever love him again, but that wasn't true. At least the woman in front of him loved him, not for his money. Without that, he was still not Jiang Lingchen. This fact would never change.
If Jiang Lingchen was willing to give up everything he had, how could it be for her? What right did she have to make him give it all away? She was just a plaything he kept in his villa, for him to play with when he needed it, and he had scolded her for not being self-righteous, yes, his unfathomable ideas were not known to many, and they simply assumed that she had changed him, and what did she have to do about it?
Lin Xi’er could not tolerate her silence, and what's more, he could not bear her indifferent expression. He could not help but ask in a low voice: "Are you willing to leave?"
"The contract hasn't expired. I can't leave this place." Bai Jinxi looked at Lin Xi’er with a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"You!" Lin Xi’er was angry, "A contract? "You're still thinking about the contract at this point? If he really has nothing, he would still be able to bring a lawsuit against you. He has probably offended many people in the past few years. At that time, forget about worrying about the mother and son duo, even himself will not be able to protect himself!" She paused. "What contract did you make?"
"This is between us. If you don't mind, you can ask him."
Her attitude was completely unimaginable to Lin Xi’er! She was actually asked to ask Jiang Lingchen? If he had told her these things, why did she sit here and talk to the woman he had taken care of? It was so funny, this woman was his ex-wife, had given him a son, had divorced him five years ago, and now he wanted to be with her.
However, since they were going to be married five years ago, there must be a problem between them. They would still be separated today, not the kind of relationship that couldn't be fixed, but she couldn't predict how long it would take for him to end his marriage with her and live with what he called his ex-wife!
Jiang Lingchen was willing to give up everything for this girl? Lin Xi’er felt like her heart was about to be slowly devoured by jealousy.
After arranging Ye Wenxin's treatment and study in Switzerland, Wang immediately took his wife and daughter to England for a global tour, where he had lived for six months in a cottage.
"I won't agree to the dissolution of the marriage, not in any case!" Lin Xi’er blurted out. She stood up from the sofa and stared at Bai Jinxi with her red eyes. Even if she had to fight to the death with Jiang Lingchen, she would fight until the end. She really did not know what was good about the woman in front of her! It was impossible for her to be convinced!
Bai Jinxi gave a bland smile, "Then there's no need to agree. I sincerely hope that you can keep your promise until the clouds open and see Yue Ming." A man like Jiang Lingchen was like a cold-blooded animal. He would not be moved by a single thing that happened to a single person, so Lin Xi’er might be an exception.
"You … Is that clear? If you insist on staying here, not only will you ruin our relationship, you will also ruin his future! I don't think you'll be happy when you see him penniless, even if it's not for yourself. "For his sake, please let him go …" She couldn't convince herself that she was still young and didn't deserve to waste so much time on a man, but she had fallen in love, and now she had fallen from heaven to hell, how could she bear it!
Jiang Lingchen was different from them, she knew that such a man like him was simply impossible to obtain easily. She did not dare to hold too much hope in her heart, but why would he want to be engaged to her? He had given her the dream of building such a relationship for a very long time! Did this mean that he had once been interested in her as well? As long as this woman in front of him did not interfere with his thoughts, he would still be willing to continue the marriage with her!
Bai Jinxi shook his head. She was merely a woman whom Jiang Lingchen had taken care of on a whim. To put it more bitterly, she was a partner whom he had vented his anger on in bed when he needed her. The things that he had decided on could never be changed by anyone, and anything she said would just be asking for humiliation.
"You still won't agree?" Lin Xi’er's patience was limited, and she clenched her teeth.
"I'm just an outsider. You think too highly of me."
Lin Xi’er laughed in ridicule: "Are you telling me that he abandoned a marriage that everyone thought highly of, abandoned the business that he worked towards for close to ten years, and abandoned the parents that he grew up with just for an outsider? Just for an outsider?"
"That's not something I should care about." Bai Jinxi lowered his eyes. He had never thought of doing something that no one could stop. Even if he gave up everything he currently possessed, what was there to be afraid of?
"Yes, you only care about his money. If you don't make a choice today, I can guarantee that you won't get a single cent in less than a week." Lin Xi’er turned around and left, but after returning back, he gave an unyielding reply: "That's right, your divorce agreement still hasn't taken effect yet, and you are still his legal wife. I think you should be clear about this point, if you don't leave him, then you won't get even the slightest bit of property from Jiang Family."
Lin Xi’er straightened her back, with the stubbornness of a young miss.
Legal wife. Did the divorce agreement not take effect? Bai Jinxi was completely stunned.
She left after signing the divorce agreement five years ago. She didn't see him sign his name. How could Jiang Lingchen's mother let go of such an opportunity?
If everything was as Lin Xi’er said, then why didn't he tell her? Hiding it from her so that she wouldn't be able to remarry in the future? On the contrary, was the reason why he didn't want to marry Lin Xi’er because she didn't want to go through the divorce procedures with him? This matter was far more difficult to deal with than the 60-day agreement he had made.
What was Jiang Lingchen planning to do? Revenge on her? Maybe. She laughed at herself. She didn't expect that after five years, she would still have this kind of value for him to continue to use to retaliate against her. Other than retaliating, she couldn't think of any other possibilities and didn't want to think about it.

She thought that the baby had returned, but the person who came was Jiang Lingchen's personal chauffeur: "Mr. Jiang wants you to go out for lunch." Bai Jinxi did not say much and just nodded his head.
After putting on some makeup, she changed into a light pink dress, which was randomly picked out in a drawer that Jiang Lingchen had someone prepare. In this month and a half, she didn't even have a chance to wear it, so she took off her black hair and draped it over her shoulders. There were obvious dark circles under her eyes, which she covered with powder, making it hard to tell what it was.
Everyone who saw her would nod and salute in greeting. This made her feel that she was the mistress of a person, the mistress of Jiang Lingchen. In the past month, her days had been almost comparable to a closed door, but now, she was being watched by tens of thousands of eyes. She kept feeling uncomfortable and she couldn't help but quicken her steps.
He was too eye-catching, and before he even got close, he could already see Jiang Lingchen sitting on a seat in the corner. His clothes were not very eye-catching, and he was dressed in a simple and formal dark gray suit, a dusty shirt, and a tessellated tie in the middle. He had a head of black hair, and his hawk eyes were squinting, he did not have the habit of looking around, so even if he was waiting for someone, he was quietly sitting there, quietly sipping his wine.
This made Bai Jinxi think of Edward, the vampire in the movie. He did the same as well, pursing his red lips and quietly sat on the seat, sometimes with the corner of his mouth raised, he smiled: "I thought you would dress up differently." It was an obvious taunt, and she pretended not to hear it. She sat down in her seat and was even more certain in her heart that he was a vampire.
Bai Jinxi pursed his lips: "You only called me over to ridicule me?"
