Lu Ziqun tensed up, biting her lip hard. Her confidence wavered considerably, and she even felt that her previous ideas had been too naive.

Although the Yu family is not a prominent family or high-ranking officials in Pingjiang, it would be extremely easy for them to target an outsider like her. If things really escalated, the outcome would likely be just as Yu Anning predicted.

She is indeed divorced, but she has no house and may even lose her job. She has no way to establish herself in Pingjiang.

Ye Qingqing could see that Lü Ziqun's mind was wavering, and she secretly admired Yu Anning's methods of winning people over. If she hadn't been there, Lü Ziqun might have actually been successfully brainwashed by Yu Anning and would have continued to be an obedient wooden daughter-in-law in the Yu family.

"Speaking of which, I know some lawyer friends. There's a lawyer named Guo who's on good terms with my husband and is the legal advisor for his company. There's also a lawyer named Niu Xiaoqin whom I know very well. If we really have to go to court, they will definitely do their best to help me," Ye Qingqing said with a smile.

Yu Anning looked surprised. She had heard her husband mention Niu Xiaoqin a few times. She was a very charming female lawyer and a partner in another law firm. As for Lawyer Guo, Yu Anning had a bad feeling. Could it be that one?

"Is this lawyer Guo Shengjie?"

Ye Qingqing smiled, "Yes."

Yu Anning felt a chill run down her spine and dared not underestimate Ye Qingqing any longer. If a company could hire Attorney Guo as its legal advisor, it must be quite large. Who is this beautiful woman's husband?

"May I ask what your company is?"

"Huanyu Pharmaceuticals is just a small-time operation, not worth mentioning," Ye Qingqing said, feigning modesty.

Yu Anning's lips twitched. If Huanyu Pharmaceutical was a small, insignificant company, then Pingjiang had no respectable enterprises. No wonder Lu Ziqun stood up straight; it turned out he had the backing of the Huanyu Pharmaceutical boss's wife.

Moreover, Huanyu Pharmaceutical is a major client of her bank. What if she angers them and they withdraw their investment?

With so many banks and such fierce competition, a major client like Huanyu Pharmaceutical is more important than God; how could she dare offend them?

"Madam Lu, I was rude just now."

Yu Anning forced a smile, her attitude becoming much more enthusiastic. Lu Ziqun felt a little uneasy. Strength was the most important thing. After the divorce, she had to find a way to improve herself and no longer let others look down on her.

Ye Qingqing smiled politely, "It's not rude. We have different positions, so it's understandable that you're speaking up for Yu Shaoning. Of course, I'm helping my friend. Besides, Yu Shaoning really went too far this time. Knowing that your parents are eager to have a grandchild, he secretly took birth control pills, leaving Ziqun to bear the pressure from your parents alone. She hasn't had a good time these past few years, so it's only right that Yu Shaoning compensates for the losses."

Yu Anning nodded, "That's right, so the house they live in should be given to Ziqun. I will persuade my parents. The other two houses belong to my parents, so it would be unreasonable for Ziqun to ask for another one."

“That makes sense. It’s the father’s fault if the son is not taught. Your parents are not innocent in the fact that your brother has become such a scumbag. And do you really think they are completely unaware of what your brother has been doing outside?” Ye Qingqing asked rhetorically.

Yu Anning fell silent.

Of course, they weren't completely unaware. At the very least, Yu Shaoning's parents knew very well that he had an entanglement with his ex-wife, Xiao Wei, but they kept it from Lü Ziqun.

She had advised her parents to discipline her younger brother strictly before, but it was all in vain. Her own life was a mess, and she simply didn't have the energy to discipline her brother.
