Chapter 65 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival (two chapters in one)
"Sister Qin." Jiang Ning lowered her voice.
Jiang Ning was wearing comfortable sneakers and her steps were light. It was not until she spoke that Qin Taoran, who was standing in front of the door, reacted. He turned around hurriedly and saw Jiang Ning standing at the stairs.
Qin Taoran's expression brightened: "Xiao Jiang."
Qin Taoran is now in his thirties, more than a generation older than Jiang Ning, so it is not surprising that he calls her Little Jiang.
Jiang Ning nodded slightly and walked to the door of her house.
Qin Taoran turned aside a little embarrassedly and asked hesitantly, "Does what you said before still count?"
Jiang Ning had said before that as long as Qin Taoran wanted to divorce, she would help.
"It counts." Jiang Ning nodded and opened the door with his fingerprint: "Come in and talk."
Qin Taoran walked into the house behind Jiang Ning.
Just like the last time she came, Jiang Ning's two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment had a clean, simple, bright and dust-free living room. Apart from some necessary appliances, there was almost nothing else that was unnecessary.
Qin Taoran sat on the sofa, and Jiang Ning took out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator.
Qin Taoran looked solemn, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Jiang Ning: "I want to divorce him."
She hesitated and added, "And the custody of the child."
Qin Taoran had previously told Jiang Ning about the general situation of her and her husband Ruan Jiahua, and Jiang Ning had also read the information delivered by the system.
Qin Taoran and Ruan Jiahua did not have any feelings for each other, partly because of his seriously ill mother's wish, and partly because he was blinded by Ruan Jiahua's appearance.
After his mother passed away, Ruan Jiahua's true face was gradually exposed. Qin Taoran had called the police, had her injuries assessed, sought help from the Women's Federation, and filed for divorce from Ruan Jiahua. Qin Taoran even filed for divorce in court half a year ago, but in the end nothing was concluded.
Ruan Jiahua said one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. He was very smooth-talking. In addition, he held the financial power, which put Qin Taoran in a passive position.
For Jiang Ning, it was not difficult to get Ruan Jiahua and Qin Taoran to divorce. The reason why Qin Taoran could not get a divorce before was because Ruan Jiahua did not agree to divorce.
If Ruan Jiahua did not agree to divorce, it would be useless for Qin Taoran to sue him in court, because the judge would reject Qin Taoran's divorce application on the grounds that the relationship between the couple had not broken down.
But it would be different if Jiang Ning was in charge. Even if Ruan Jiahua disagreed, she could find a way to make Ruan Jiahua agree to divorce.
The more difficult issue is their daughter Ruirui.
Ruirui is only three years old this year, and is still far from adulthood. If Ruan Jiahua wants to take custody of Ruirui after the two divorce, it will be easy for him to do so since he has a fixed income every month.
In comparison, Qin Taoran's situation is clearly at a disadvantage.
After she became pregnant, she had severe morning sickness and was an older mother, so she quit her job at the suggestion of Ruan Jiahua. After giving birth to Ruirui, she became a full-time housewife and had no income for more than four years.
Jiang Ning asked: "Which one is the child closer to, you or him?"
"Of course it's me." Qin Taoran said without hesitation: "He doesn't like children and even has mysophobia. Don't be fooled by his polite and gentle manners outside. In fact, he has a gloomy face when he gets home. Sometimes when Ruirui passes by, he will kick her."
"Since Ruirui was born, he has held her in his arms only a few times. Ruirui is only three years old, which is the age when she is most affectionate. But she was scared by him and now hides away when she sees him coming home..."
Qin Taoran couldn't help wanting to cry as he spoke.
Jiang Ning sat nearby with a calm expression, not showing much empathy for Qin Taoran's words.
Because she always remembered that the last time Qin Taoran was still entangled and didn't want to divorce Ruan Jiahua was because he wanted to give Ruirui a complete family.
This... a complete family? Everyone has their own difficulties in life.
From Qin Taoran's perspective, Ruirui is a piece of flesh that fell from her body, her most precious treasure.
Judging from Ruan Jiahua's attitude towards three-year-old Ruirui, he is not only not a good husband, but also not a good father.
"Ruan Jiahua is too pretentious. He doesn't care if the child doesn't kiss him at home. But if the child doesn't kiss him outside, he will explain to others with a smile that it is because he is too busy at work and seldom comes home. The child usually stays with me..." Qin Taoran's voice was slightly choked with sobs.
Previously, she tried to tell others about Ruan Jiahua's cold attitude towards Ruirui. After Ruan Jiahua knew about it, he was very elegant and polite. He not only explained that the reason why Ruirui was not close to him was that he was too busy at work and had little time to interact with children, but he even turned the tables and made everyone think that it was she who had taught Ruirui bad things, so that the child was not close to her father at such a young age.
After listening to her quietly, Jiang Ning asked, "Do you have surveillance cameras at home?"
"No." Qin Taoran said, shaking with fear: "I bought a camera secretly before, but he found it within two days."
The consequences of the discovery were dire. Qin Taoran was tortured by Ruan Jiahua for the entire night and was not allowed to go out for most of half a month.
Jiang Ning changed the subject: "If the divorce is successful, have you ever thought about how to live with your daughter in the future?"
"Yes." Although it is a luxury, Qin Taoran still looks forward to that day.
"Rui Rui is already over three years old. She can go to kindergarten during the day. I will find a job. I studied design before and later worked in a lot of related jobs. I even worked as a creative director before I got pregnant."
"Although I haven't been working in recent years, I have never forgotten the relevant things. I occasionally read the news and current affairs and pay attention to relevant information."
"It doesn't matter if I start as a junior clerk, as long as the company is willing to hire me and I can have a salary to support myself and Ruirui."
The two chatted about some other things. Seeing that it was almost time for Ruan Jiahua to get off work, Qin Taoran reluctantly got up and left.
After two brief encounters, Qin Taoran already placed Jiang Ning at a level closer than that of an ordinary person.
She was not a warm and cheerful person. She only had two or three close friends before marriage, but they all changed after marriage. There was even one person who didn't believe what she said, but believed Ruan Jiahua instead, and even helped Ruan Jiahua to criticize her. God knows, she hadn't had such a good chat with anyone for a long time!
When Qin Taoran went out, Jiang Ning followed her and said, "I'll give your daughter something."
Qin Taoran looked back in surprise. Jiang Ning's mind moved, and the little bear hairpin that was originally in the system backpack instantly appeared in her hand.
Jiang Ning deliberately put her hand into her pocket, then took it out and handed the little bear hairpin in her hand to Qin Taoran.
This thing, which looks like a cute little bear, is actually a miniature surveillance camera, which Jiang Ning had specially exchanged from the system space for 30 merit points.
Although this camera is new, it was developed at least 200 years ahead of the current technology of Singapore. Its existence cannot be detected by existing scientific instruments. As long as Ruan Jiahua is not told, he will not find it.
"This, this is so embarrassing." The moment Qin Taoran saw it, he was struck by the cuteness of the little bear hairpin in front of him.
Although it is just a hairpin, its exquisite workmanship and glittering colors make it look like a luxury item no matter how you look at it.
"Take it, don't leave it unused. You can pin it on her as a brooch, or as a hairpin in her hair." Jiang Ning handed the thing to her.
Qin Taoran thanked Jiang Ning and happily took it.
Watching her leaving, Jiang Ning did not tell her that it was a miniature camera.
Qin Taoran was subjected to domestic violence by Ruan Jiahua for two or three years. Ruan Jiahua's domestic violence inevitably caused great psychological harm and trauma to Qin Taoran.
If Qin Taoran had been told that the bear hairpin was a camera, he would most likely have been exposed in front of Ruan Jiahua.
Jiang Ning had no bad intentions in using this micro-monitor. She just wanted to see if she could use it to capture some footage of Ruan Jiahua using cold violence against Ruirui. If the footage was successful, it would become strong evidence for Qin Taoran to win over Ruirui in the future.
If the shooting is unsuccessful, Jiang Ning will naturally think of other methods.
After Qin Taoran left, Jiang Ning closed the door, sat on the sofa, picked up her phone and called Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang is a policeman and should have come across cases like this before.
Zhang Lang received Jiang Ning's call and sighed after listening to it. He said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about it. It would be best if he could voluntarily divorce. Otherwise, we can only file for divorce through the court."
"But if one of the two disagrees, it means that the relationship has not completely broken down, and the court will not grant a divorce 80% of the time. After six months of filing a lawsuit or one year of separation, you can file a divorce lawsuit with the court again."
What Zhang Lang said was the same as what Jiang Ning knew.
Qin Taoran last filed for divorce in court half a year ago, and now she can file for divorce again.
But the two of them did not separate, and all their financial support depended on Ruan Jiahua alone. If Ruan Jiahua disagreed and showed true remorse in front of the judge, they would most likely not be able to divorce.
Marriage can be done on impulse, but divorce requires overcoming all difficulties.
"Oh, right." Zhang Lang on the other end of the phone seemed to have thought of something, and said to Jiang Ning: "My colleagues in Fuhua Town asked me to tell you that they found Kuangtun's hometown and contacted the local Women's Federation to rescue the girl who was detained at home."
"She was rescued a few days ago. The local authorities have also intervened in the matter and are mediating with the girl's family."
"I wanted to tell you, but then something else got in the way and I forgot about it. Her relative was also detained by the local police and is awaiting trial."
"Yeah." Jiang Ning nodded.
Although Zhang Lang's words were unclear, Jiang Ning knew what he was talking about.
That night in the human traffickers' van, Kuang Tun couldn't help but boast to Liu Guobin that after completing this job, he would go back for a blind date and get married. Jiang Ning in the back of the car heard it all clearly.
After doing something wrong, instead of thinking about how to make up for it, he tried to sacrifice the rest of his daughter's life to cover up this mistake! Although that family was not part of the mission, Jiang Ning also kept it in mind and reported the matter to Fuhua Public Security Bureau afterwards.
Because Kuang Tun was not from Fuhua Town, it took the police more time to investigate.
Fortunately, it had a happy ending.
The person who did the bad thing was put in jail, and the girl didn't have to sacrifice the rest of her life to pay for her brother's behavior.
