Qin Suisui was still somewhat dazed when she returned to her room. She had guesses about Huo's attitude towards her, but she wasn't sure.
She had been away from Huating for five years, studying and working elsewhere, and had no time to experience or cultivate another relationship.
To this day, her feelings about relationships remain stuck in her student days, but the love she experienced in college was not pleasant; it was filled with betrayal and self-doubt.
After her initial panic, she gradually calmed down.
As a result, she didn't get a proper rest all night, and the next day, she had faint dark circles under her eyes.
To cover the dark circles under her eyes, she unusually applied a layer of foundation.
This morning, she met with a female entrepreneur who wanted her to fight a huge divorce case.
The moment Qin Suisui saw Hou Yanjia in the office, she knew that he was definitely a person with an extremely strong sense of self.
As expected, Hou Yanjia's first sentence was straightforward and to the point.
“Attorney Qin, I heard Zhang Lan mention you. While I wouldn’t say she’s praising you to the skies, it’s still a rare compliment.”
Hou Yanjia looked Qin Suisui up and down, somewhat puzzled as to why Zhang Lan trusted this woman so much.
"She rarely praises people so highly."
Upon hearing this, Qin Suisui raised the corners of her eyes slightly.
"It's probably trust!"
"Clients must have 100% trust in their lawyers. Only with mutual trust can the case move in the direction we work together to achieve."
Hou Yanjia nodded.
"I won't say much else, I only have one request: you must win this case!"
Qin Suisui smiled faintly, her expression calm.
"Ms. Hou, please show me the documents first, and I will decide whether to accept your lawsuit."
"If I decide to take your case, I will do everything in my power to win it."
"readily!"
Hou Yanjia took out the documents from his briefcase, handed them to Qin Suisui, and then briefly explained his current situation.
“Cheng Zehua and I started from scratch. When we first came to Huating, we were penniless and didn’t even have a hundred yuan. What kind of hard work haven’t I done?”
Her gaze was unfocused, her eyes deep and filled with memories, before gradually turning cold.
"Who knew that his good days hadn't lasted long before he was already having an affair with someone else."
As Hou Yanjia finished speaking, a chilling hatred pierced his eyes.
"I helped him consolidate his power, and he's already thinking of giving away the empire I helped him build to other women. He's a real bastard!"
Do you have any evidence?
Qin Suisui asked with a calm expression.
"Do a few photos count?"
"Where are the photos?"
Hou Yanjia took out several photos from her handbag, her clenched fingers revealing prominent veins.
She gritted her teeth and handed it over.
“Attorney Qin, please take a look, but…”
She looked at Qin Suisui with a warning: "To put it bluntly, whether you take my divorce case or not, you cannot reveal a single word about what happened here today."
"Ms. Hou, please rest assured that protecting our clients' secrets is our professional ethics and a necessary part of our professional conduct!"
Qin Suisui took the photos and looked through them.
The two people in the photos are behaving intimately, and there is also a photo of them kissing.
She looked up and asked, "Is there any other evidence?"
Hou Yanjia: "Would a voice recorder work?"
"Let me listen first."
Qin Suisui took the voice recorder that Hou Yanjia handed her.
Hou Yanjia's eyes were icy, and his tone grew increasingly cold and hard.
“I listened to this recording five or six times. After fifteen years of marriage, I realized through this recording that I was nothing in his eyes, that he had no affection for me as a husband and wife, and that he even wanted me to leave with nothing.”
Qin Suisui remained silent. She had handled several similar divorce cases. The once loving couples eventually succumbed to the passage of time, and interests were always the only thing they fought over. As far as she knew, very few divorce cases ended with the couple's relationship intact. In the end, it was all about tearing apart their interests.
"May I listen?"
"Sure, but I'm afraid it might offend your ears."
Hou Yanjia let out a cold laugh and turned on the recorder.
Qin Suisui listened carefully to the contents of the recording pen, and after a while she understood why Hou Yanjia was so resentful and angry.
The recording pen contained not only the passionate lovemaking between the man and woman, but also the man's various promises to the woman, including schemes and plots to make Ms. Hou leave with nothing.
"It's ready!"
Qin Suisui leaned back and looked at Hou Yanjia.
"Ms. Hou, how do you intend to make your current husband leave with nothing?"
"How so?"
Upon hearing this, Hou Yanjia looked at her with great interest.
"This recording shows that your current husband gave a lot of expensive gifts to Ms. Xie Fangna without your knowledge. I am not yet able to calculate exactly how much of your marital property was given away by him."
"I demand that all the things Cheng Zehua gave to that bitch behind my back be returned."
Qin Suisui nodded: "We will try our best to meet the needs of our clients. Your request is reasonable and legal, and is protected by law."
"However, Ms. Hou, the cost of my divorce proceedings is not low."
Hou Yanjia said bluntly, "How much? Give me a number!"
"Based on Ms. Hou's standard for the amount in her lawsuit, I will be charging five percent of the amount in your divorce case!"
With a smile, Qin Suisui asked softly, "Ms. Hou, can you accept this?"
Five percent?
Hou Yanjia hissed, her heart aching. Five percent—based on her and Liang Tiancheng's net worth, five percent would amount to nearly twenty million.
Seeing that she remained silent for a long time and her expression was slightly hesitant, Qin Suisui offered an apologetic explanation.
"Ms. Hou, this is the fee schedule for divorce proceedings at the Law Offices of R.R. Dunn. If..."
Hou Yanjia gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, but you have to win the case, otherwise I won't pay you a single penny."
"Of course, no problem!"
Qin Suisui nodded with a smile: "Ms. Hou, if you agree, I will have my assistant bring in a contract, and we can sign a litigation agreement to bind each other."
"no problem!"
Hou Yanjia readily agreed. Now that she had decided to sign the agreement with Attorney Qin, she would no longer dwell on it.
Qin Suisui pressed the internal phone button.
"Assistant Yue, bring me a copy of the divorce petition agreement."
They quickly signed the agreement, and Qin Suisui looked at Hou Yanjia.
"Ms. Hou, I will make a copy of the information you provided. In addition, I will collect some additional evidence to provide as supporting evidence later."
"Can!"
Hou Yanjia stood up with a smile. She now understood why Zhang Lan had recommended Lawyer Qin from the Law Offices of Luo Dun to her before even starting a lawsuit.
Attorney Qin seems to be able to see through people's hearts. Her analysis of matters always reaches the deepest part of her mind. She always seems to be calm and confident, which makes people unable to help but admire her!
