In the seventh year of her relationship, Qu He discovered that she had been cheated on for four years.
She decisively resigned, broke off her engagement, shed her rigid image, and became stun...
Chapter 199 Intentionally Destroying Another Person's Family
"Hello Ms. Qu, I am Fu Chen, a lawyer from Tianchen Law Firm. I just returned from the United States two weeks ago."
Fu Chen was very formal, handing over a business card with both hands.
Qu He caught a glimpse of Zhuang Bieyan's "you dare to take one and see what happens" look in his eyes from the seat diagonally opposite her.
His hands were clenched into fists under the table.
Fortunately, Fu Chen didn't care about these details. Seeing that Qu He didn't reach out, he naturally and gently pushed the business card on the table in front of her.
"Would it be convenient for you to tell me about your current situation?"
"ah?"
Qu He was taken aback by his direct approach.
Fu Chen explained, "Although Aunt Lian has already told me about your situation over the phone, I still want to hear your opinion in person, as this is very important for our future development."
What will happen next?
Qu He's heart skipped a beat. Oh no!
Director Lian is determined.
She grabbed the water glass in front of her and gulped down half of it.
I drank it too fast and choked.
"Cough! Cough cough..."
Seeing this, Fu Chen quickly handed her a tissue. "Ms. Qu, are you alright?"
"No...it's okay, thank you." Qu He took it, wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes, and thanked him softly.
On the opposite side, Zhuang Bieyan's eyes almost blazed with fury when he saw Qu He accept the tissue from the stranger!
The knuckles of my fingers, gripping the water glass, turned slightly white from the force.
Qu He felt that this misunderstanding could not be allowed to continue any longer.
We must act swiftly and decisively!
She deliberately raised her voice to make sure someone could hear her clearly: "Mr. Fu, I'm very sorry, I think you may not be aware of my situation. I am not divorced at the moment, I am still married."
As he said this, he could feel the intense gaze from across the room soften slightly.
Upon hearing this, Fu Chen showed no surprise, but instead nodded in understanding.
“I know. Aunt Lian mentioned it too. It’s normal, and I can understand.”
"...???"
Qu He was completely stunned.
Did he know?
Does he understand?
Isn't this person's acceptance level a bit too high?
Are American students this open-minded?
"Don't you think this is outrageous and absurd?"
Qu He looked incredulously at the surrounding environment.
"Is it appropriate for the two of us, me, a married woman, and you, to discuss what's going to happen next in a restaurant that's clearly a romantic date?"
Following the direction she pointed, Fu Chen calmly surveyed the restaurant environment and nodded: "Indeed, this meeting place is somewhat special, and it's the first time I've met in such an occasion. However, I still choose to understand and respect it."
Qu He: "..."
She was completely speechless.
You can understand this?
Fu Chen seemed oblivious to the look of despair on Qu He's face, and began rummaging through his briefcase.
"I have prepared some things for this meeting, Ms. Qu, you can take a look first."
Across from him, Zhuang Bieyan, who had listened to the whole thing, could no longer bear it.
They've practically pried into his backside right under his nose.
What about future developments?
Are you preparing anything else?
He got up and walked to Qu He's table, sitting down next to Qu He.
Fu Chen looked at the man who had suddenly appeared with a powerful aura and asked in confusion, "Who is this?"
Zhuang Bieyan took Qu He's hand, interlocked their fingers, and then raised it up, saying, "I am Qu He's husband, Zhuang Bieyan."
I thought that this clear declaration of identity would make the other party back down.
However, Fu Chen only showed a hint of surprise at first, but quickly regained his composure.
He nodded slightly and greeted him politely, "Hello, Mr. Zhuang."
His gaze lingered for a few seconds on Zhuang Bieyan and Qu He's tightly clasped hands. "It seems that your relationship is better than I imagined."
He had just returned from the United States and was busy with the relocation of his law firm and adapting to the domestic environment. He hadn't paid much attention to the local business community or the gossip online, and he didn't know much about Zhuang Bieyan and Qu He.
"Our relationship as husband and wife is naturally good," Zhuang Bieyan said through gritted teeth.
But Fu Chen remained calm and composed.
Does this man not understand what I'm saying?
Is the lawyer really that clueless?
Zhuang Bieyan narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Mr. Fu is a lawyer? Perfect, I'd like to ask you, is it permissible to call the police for intentionally destroying someone else's family?"
Fu Chen: "Mr. Zhuang, there is no explicit provision in the law regarding this. However, the kind of behavior you described is indeed not encouraged from a moral standpoint."
"So even Attorney Fu knows this is unethical?" Zhuang Bieyan sneered.
Qu He, who was watching from the side, was extremely embarrassed and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Attorney Fu, I'm sorry, there might be some misunderstanding."
"I see."
Fu Chen raised his hand, interrupting Qu He, his face showing understanding. "It seems that there is some discrepancy between the current situation of the two of you and the information I previously had."
As he spoke, he pulled out a document, placed it on the table, and gently pushed it towards Qu He.
The document cover reads "Divorce Agreement".
“Since the two of you have a harmonious relationship and no intention of divorce, then the matter of divorce and this agreement do need to be discussed,” Fu Chen announced calmly.
"Huh? A divorce agreement?"
Qu He stared at the document, her mind momentarily blank.
Zhuang Bieyan, however, suddenly realized something upon seeing the document title.
"Are you a divorce lawyer?"
"Yes. My specialization is in marriage and family law, especially divorce cases."
Fu Chen frankly admitted, "My wife's second aunt was a classmate of Ms. Qu's mother at the senior university. When Aunt Lian heard that I had returned to China and was good at handling this kind of case, she asked me to come and meet with Ms. Qu to get a detailed understanding of the situation and see if I could help."
After listening to this long string of relationships, Qu He finally began to piece together the cause and effect.
Another blunder!
"So, Attorney Fu, you didn't come here today for a blind date?" Qu He's voice trailed off with embarrassment.
"A blind date?"
Fu Chen was stunned for a moment, then, recalling the reactions of the two people opposite him, he finally understood the reason.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Qu, it seems my appearance and the surroundings have caused you to misunderstand. I'm not here for a blind date; I'm here to help you with your divorce case."
He pointed to the roses on the corner of the table. "As for these flowers, they were given to me by a primary school student promoting 'courage to start a business' at the elevator entrance. I didn't know what to do with them, so I just took them. I'm really sorry for the misunderstanding."
The truth has come out!
Qu He wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground and quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no, I'm the one who should apologize, Attorney Fu. I thought my mother had arranged something for me again. I'm so sorry for taking up your time this time."
The misunderstanding was cleared up, and Fu Chen politely took his leave.
Qu He and Zhuang Bieyan then left the restaurant.
When they arrived at the mall's underground parking lot, Qu He was still immersed in the embarrassment from just now.
Zhuang Bieyan sat in the driver's seat but did not start the car. Instead, he turned his head to look at Qu He and said, "Ahe."
"Um?"
"You just said, 'again' you arranged a blind date? Why did you use the word 'again'?"
"ah?"
