Upon seeing the words "Lawyer’s Letter" on the envelope, the servant hurriedly went upstairs and knocked on the door of Shao Yongkang and Shen Shuwen’s room.
Shen Shuwen had been having a terrible day.
Not only had the Qin Family mercilessly extorted a large sum of compensation from her, but she also struggled to fall asleep at night.
Just as she was about to doze off, she was disturbed by the servant.
Furious, she opened the door and scolded the servant angrily, "Do you know what time it is? Why are you knocking on the door? Couldn’t it wait until tomorrow?" "Madam..."
The servant lowered their head in fear and carefully handed over the envelope they had just received.
"Madam, this was delivered by an employee from the law firm. It’s a lawyer’s letter."
As the servant mentioned the three words, their voice trembled with fear.
"What is this?" Shen Shuwen’s remaining drowsiness vanished instantly.
"A lawyer’s letter?" Until now, it had always been the Shao family sending lawyer’s letters to others.
How dare someone send a lawyer’s letter to the Shao family?
Moreover, it was already three o’clock in the middle of the night! Who would deliberately target the Shao family and choose the darkest hours of the night to deliver a lawyer’s letter to them?
Anger flickered in Shen Shuwen’s eyes as she reached out and forcefully took the envelope from the servant’s hand.
Furrowing her brows, she angrily tore open the envelope and took out the lawyer’s letter inside.
"Regarding the serious infringement of Qin Sui’an and his family’s reputation, Qin Law Firm, under the representation of Qin Lvzheng hereby issues the following statement."
Qin Sui’an?
Qin Lvzheng?
Qin Haochen?
Why was it the Qin Family again?
Shen Shuwen’s vision blurred, and she almost fainted on the spot.
The servant quickly stepped forward to support her, anxiously calling out, "Madam! Are you all right?"
Shao Yongkang was awakened by their commotion and walked to the door of the room, furrowing his brows.
"What’s going on? What happened?"
Shen Shuwen’s legs went weak, and for a moment, she couldn’t distinguish whether she was angered or frightened.
Trembling, she handed the lawyer’s letter to Shao Yongkang.
"Yongkang, the Qin Family sent me a lawyer’s letter!"
"The Qin Family? A lawyer’s letter?!"
Shao Yongkang realized the gravity of the situation and immediately took the lawyer’s letter.
When he saw that Qin Haochen was the client and Qin Lvzheng was the lawyer representing him, Shao Yongkang was completely stunned.
Shen Shuwen finally recovered from the shock of the lawyer’s letter and angrily exclaimed, "Didn’t we already compensate the Qin Family with a substantial amount of money? How can Qin Haochen go back on his word and send me a lawyer’s letter?"
Shao Yongkang asked the servant to leave the room before speaking, "Qin Family is really pushing us to the limit."
"Yongkang, you need to talk to Qin Haochen! Look at the content of the lawyer’s letter. Isn’t it an outrageous demand?"
Shen Shuwen was both anxious and angry, tears streaming down her face.
"It was just a momentary impulse, a few jokes. How could the Qin Family take it seriously?"
The lawyer’s letter clearly stated that Shen Shuwen not only needed to apologize to Qin Sui’an but also compensate him for his mental distress.
Furthermore, she was responsible for Qin Lvzheng’s legal fees, which were calculated at one million yuan per minute! Shao Yongkang understood that the Qin Family meant business this time.
With Qin Lvzheng involved, they had no choice but to comply.
In a legal battle, no one could defeat Qin Lvzheng.
"Yongkang, what should I do?" Shen Shuwen’s face was now covered in tears.
Wiping them away, she cried, "The Qin Family is truly audacious, taking advantage of others to such an extent!"
As she burst into tears, Shao Yongkang’s head began to ache, and he raised his hand to massage his temples. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Unfortunately, the person by his side was none other than his wife, so Shao Yongkang couldn’t just ignore the situation.
"All right, it’s getting late. Let’s go to sleep first."
This statement seemed to hit a nerve with Shen Shuwen, and she cried even harder.
"Sleep? The lawyer’s letter was delivered to our doorstep! How can I possibly sleep now?"
"Well, what do you suggest we do then? Huh?"
Shao Yongkang felt increasingly frustrated, raising his voice.
"I’ve always told you not to act impulsively, to think before you speak! But you never listen! Now look what you’ve done, provoking the Qin family! What can I do about it?"
"Yongkang, I..." Shen Shuwen bit her lip, wiping away her tears.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
"Can you blame me for this? If that wild heiress hadn’t flaunted her diamond necklace in front of Xinxin, I wouldn’t have said those things!"
"Are you still calling her a wild heiress?" Shao Yongkang’s headache worsened.
"Did I get it wrong? The Qin family’s daughter disappeared for three years and miraculously returned home alive. Who would believe that?" Shen Shuwen snorted.
"She was probably adopted from some orphanage, and now they claim she’s their precious daughter. It’s absurd!"
"Shen Shuwen! Will you ever stop?"
Shao Yongkang frowned, even though they were in their own home, he cautiously looked around.
"Do you want to receive another lawyer’s letter from the Qin family?"
Shen Shuwen tearfully complained, "What? I can’t even speak freely at home? Do you think there could be spies from the Qin family in our own house? If you want me to suffer and be bullied to death by the Qin family, just say it!"
Shao Yongkang felt his scalp tingling as she continued to speak harshly and unreasonably.
He handed her the lawyer’s letter.
"I’m going to the study. Calm down and prepare yourself. Tomorrow, we’ll go to the Qin family and apologize."
After saying this, Shao Yongkang walked towards the study without looking back.
"Shao Yongkang! So you’re really abandoning me?"
Shen Shuwen caught up to him, but he had already locked the study door.
She forcefully pounded on the door, stomping her feet in anger.
Today, nothing seemed to go well for Shao Yongkang.
First, their daughter stole someone else’s diamond, and she didn’t dare admit it, leading to the Qin family personally demanding compensation.
Then, his wife made outrageous remarks, angering the Qin family, and now the lawyer’s letter arrived overnight.
Exhausted, he slumped onto the sofa in the study, sighing repeatedly.
Similarly, Shen Shuwen couldn’t sleep at all, her mind filled with the Qin family’s lawyer’s letters.
If it weren’t for that wild heiress from the Qin family, how could their Shao family have ended up in such a situation?
Shen Shuwen despised Qin Sui’an, itching with hatred.
She couldn’t help but think that this three-and-a-half-year-old child had too many schemes and was simply wicked to the core!
Even her bones were rotten!
Thinking about the terms listed in the lawyer’s letter, Shen Shuwen continued to curse the three-and-a-half-year-old child in her heart.
But no matter how much she hated and cursed, deep down she knew that she had to obediently go to the Qin family tomorrow and apologize to the three-and-a-half-year-old Qin Sui’an.
She also had to bring enough money to pay for the so-called emotional distress and exorbitant lawyer’s fees.
