After the call connected, Lin Yu said to the person on the other end, "She has no intention of adding me on WeChat at all. What can I do?"
After a two-second silence, he said, "I understand," after hearing what the person on the other end of the phone said.
Xu Wan had no idea that this unexpected younger brother was someone who had specially arranged for her.
However, as a married woman, she wouldn't casually add men's contact information.
-
Back at the law firm, Xu Wan first looked through the documents.
She returned this time because of a divorce case she handled six months ago, which is now eligible to be filed again.
The first instance of this divorce case was pronounced in court. After leaving the court, the client's husband, Luo Kui, even tried to block her with his car, but fortunately, Jiang Tingzhou came to her rescue.
Now, Ding Xinyu, the client at the time, wants to file for divorce again.
In a sense, this is Xu Wan's first case after becoming a lawyer, and I sincerely hope it can be resolved satisfactorily.
As Xu Wan was looking for information, her phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Xu Wan hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.
"Sister, it's me, Ma Xiaolin!"
The call connected, and it was Ma Xiaolin's voice that came through.
Xu Wan glanced at the calendar and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
Xu Pingshan had previously mentioned that Ma Xiaolin attends a boarding school, where teachers are not allowed to use cell phones during school hours from Monday to Friday. Today is Monday, and Ma Xiaolin suddenly called her, so it must be something urgent.
"Do you have Sang Zhenzhen's contact information? I need to meet her!"
Ma Xiaolin stated her demands directly.
Xu Wan frowned slightly on the other end of the phone. "Sang Zhenzhen? Why are you seeing her? You should know about your parents' situation, right? After the divorce, the company your mother runs will still belong to her, and the several valuable properties under her name will also be with your mother. You two will have no relationship after that."
Sang Zhenzhen is currently pregnant, and quite far along in her pregnancy.
Xu Wan was afraid that Ma Xiaolin might do something impulsive that would cause Sang Zhenzhen to miscarry, making the divorce process even more difficult.
Ma Jun got other women pregnant and then shamelessly made excuses.
A man like him either cheats zero times or countless times. Even if he loses Sang Zhenzhen, there will be other men. It's better to get a divorce sooner rather than later.
"Do you think I want to pay attention to a shameless woman like that? It's only because she went too far! She called my mom over the weekend, saying that she'd be Mrs. Ma from now on, and that my dad was some kind of perfect man, and that my mom wasn't good enough for him and didn't know how to cherish him." After saying that, Ma Xiaolin quipped, "A clown."
"Then let her jump. Your father is in high spirits right now, so keep him calm. The important thing is to wait until your mother gets the divorce certificate in half a month. No matter how much resentment you have, you can talk about it after the divorce, understand?"
Xu Wan earnestly persuaded Ma Xiaolin.
Ma Xiaolin angrily retorted, "He's not my father. I don't have such a shameless father."
"Okay, okay, no matter what, don't cause any trouble this month. Endure everything until your parents get their divorce certificate in twenty days. If something happens to Sang Zhenzhen's child and she clings to you, and Ma Jun doesn't agree to the divorce, you and your mother will be the ones who suffer, understand?"
Xu Wan understood Ma Xiaolin's personality; she was someone who hated evil and could only repeatedly explain the seriousness of the situation to her.
“Okay.” Ma Xiaolin readily agreed. “Sister, I’ll hang up now. Our school doesn’t allow cell phones.”
As Xu Wan was about to continue working after hanging up the phone, the receptionist came over and placed an envelope on her desk.
"What is this?"
Xu Wan looked up at the front desk.
"Someone just asked me to give this to you, saying it was some kind of lawyer's consultation fee."
Consulting fee?
When Xu Wan opened the envelope and saw a neat stack of hundred-yuan bills inside, totaling at least two thousand yuan, she rushed towards the front desk.
Seeing that there was no one at the front desk, I turned around and asked, "Where is that person?"
"They just dropped off the envelope and left," the receptionist said.
Xu Wan grabbed the envelope and rushed downstairs.
