Chapter 849 - 254: [Midnight] (2)
Is she able to maintain her wealthy wife lifestyle with four million and a two-bedroom apartment?
However, Yang Jiaming knew he couldn’t afford to gamble.
What if? What if it’s true, then he would lose everything.
So, if he wanted this woman to soften her attitude...
The child!
Yang Jiaming’s heart skipped a beat as this thought sprang up.
The child!!
Not that he thinks Lu Xiuting has deep feelings for the child— that woman is as selfish as he is.
But the child, after all, is still a name one can bring up, a topic that can serve as a stepping stone.
Just then, Yang Jiaming’s phone rang again.
It was that unfamiliar number that had called twice.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Jiaming decided to answer.
"Hello, may I speak to Mr. Yang Jiaming?"
"This is he," Yang Jiaming replied in a deep voice— from the tone, it didn’t sound like a telemarketing call with a heavy accent, but rather a voice full of breath and very steady.
"Hello, Mr. Yang, I’m a lawyer from XXX Law Firm, my surname is Zhang— I am calling on behalf of Ms. Lu Xiuting to discuss your divorce matters with her..."
Yang Jiaming was stunned.
In the next instant, a huge emotional wave surged in his heart— anger, and panic!
Good for you, Lu Xiuting! You mean business!!
On the other end, Lawyer Zhang continued, but it seemed that Yang Jiaming did not pay much attention to the details.
"...Regarding the terms of the divorce agreement, if you have any objections, I can negotiate on behalf of Ms. Lu Xiuting. However, Ms. Lu Xiuting hopes the process can be handled quickly, and she wants to express through me that she is willing to make concessions regarding the division of property to expedite the end of this marriage..."
Yang Jiaming took a deep breath and finally came to his senses: "She... she said that?"
"Yes, actually, Mr. Yang, the situation now is that the divorce agreement has already been signed, and the divorce application has been submitted to the civil affairs bureau, and the cooling-off period is now over. You can arrange a time to collect the divorce certificate, giving everyone a dignified ending..."
Lawyer Zhang was still trying to persuade.
Yang Jiaming snorted coldly: "Does she mean she insists on getting a divorce?"
"My client has a strong desire to divorce," Lawyer Zhang answered cautiously.
"..." Yang Jiaming said nothing.
There, based on Yang Jiaming’s attitude, Lawyer Zhang probably made a judgment, and his tone became much more serious.
"My client, Ms. Lu Xiuting, means that if you are willing to collect the divorce certificate in the next few days, we’ll end this with dignity.
If not, she will authorize me to proceed with a divorce lawsuit, and I will formally submit an application to the court for Ms. Lu Xiuting’s divorce lawsuit within three days.
I have to give you a suggestion, Mr. Yang. Based on your current marital status, and the evidence my client currently possesses regarding your extramarital affair, it’s enough to prove that the relationship has thoroughly broken down, and the fault of the marriage breakdown is on you.
The chances of the court ruling for a divorce in such a lawsuit are very high, so..."
Bang!
Yang Jiaming directly hung up the phone!
At that moment, returning to his business operator’s mindset, Yang Jiaming’s mind came back to him.
He couldn’t be bothered with the lawyer Lu Xiuting had found and instead called a long-term cooperating lawyer.
After a brief consultation, Yang Jiaming received a professional judgment from the lawyer.
Looking at the current situation, if Lu Xiuting sues for divorce, the likelihood of the court granting a divorce is indeed very high— since evidence of his extramarital affair is definitely already in their possession.
Wanting to delay the divorce, the most could be contested in the property distribution— but even that doesn’t look too optimistic.
Because with the evidence of extramarital affairs in hand, Yang Jiaming is considered at fault.
Of course, the lawyer’s advice was, if Lu Xiuting is also at fault for an extramarital affair, Yang Jiaming could also submit evidence of this, which might allow him to regain some ground in the property distribution!
"But what if I don’t want the divorce? What I care about isn’t the division of property, it’s not getting divorced!"
"Then it would be very difficult, whether it’s your extramarital affair, or Lu Xiuting’s, both are enough to prove the emotional breakdown of the marriage. Also... Mr. Yang, current societal public opinion tends to be biased toward women.
If, by any chance, Ms. Lu Xiuting submits allegations of emotional neglect, marital abuse, or even domestic violence... in the end, even if you manage to clear your name, it would be very embarrassing.
Under such circumstances, the chances of the court ruling in favor of the divorce are almost a certainty."
After hanging up the call, Yang Jiaming was silent for a long time.
Finally, with a bang, he slammed his phone against the wall.
·
When Yang Jiaming visited again, it was the afternoon of the third day.
This time, he didn’t come alone, but he brought a child— their second son.
This younger brother of Lu Sisi inherited most of their parents’ features.
One look and you could tell they share the same bloodline, yet, unfortunately, his appearance wasn’t impressive.
Even when he stands beside Lu Sisi, it’s obvious they are siblings by blood.
But he doesn’t look good.
The kind that’s both ugly and similar.
The life chart of this boy had been seen by Chen Yan long ago— ordinary and mediocre.
With the child in tow, Yang Jiaming’s intentions were clear, even if unspoken.
