Xu Pingshan looked at Xu Wan, her expression showing some struggle: "I, I... this matter is too sudden, I haven't thought about what to do."
“I know, but I’ve seen too much of this in this industry. Sometimes, while women are still reminiscing about the past, men have already started calculating gains and losses. In several cases I’ve been involved in, by the time the wives realized what was happening, the husbands had already transferred all the marital assets through various means.”
Xu Wan wasn't exaggerating; she had encountered this kind of thing far too often.
Of course, she's on her aunt's side, which is why she's helping her.
"...He probably wouldn't, you know? When we started our business together, it wasn't all smooth sailing. We failed a few times at the beginning and were in a lot of debt. During the hardest times, we only ate one bowl of instant noodles a day. I ate the noodles, and he drank the soup..."
Xu Pingshan's eyes were filled with tears as she recounted these events.
These seemingly insignificant things from the past are precious memories in her heart.
So even though Ma Jun has changed, she has always forgiven him.
"Auntie, didn't you say before that Shenghe Hospital was very good? Do you know that Sang Zhenzhen is four months pregnant now and has been staying there for more than a month? She will continue to stay. How much is the hospital fee here? Moreover, everything Sang Zhenzhen uses in the ward is a brand name. All of this is your joint marital property."
Xu Wan didn't want to be so direct, but it was obvious that Xu Pingshan wasn't quite sober yet.
"Wanwan..."
“Auntie, I hope you understand that I’m not doing this to make money off you. I can offer you legal advice for free, and if you have to sue Ma Jun, I can even represent you in court for free. I won’t take a single penny because Grandma lives in your house and you’ve been very good to her. I just don’t want my family to get hurt.”
Xu Wan spoke very sincerely.
That's what she thought too.
Xu Pingshan was completely taken aback: "I need to think about it some more. This is all too sudden, and I don't know what to do."
"Auntie..."
Xu Wan saw that Xu Pingshan was about to cry, so she pulled out a tissue and gave it to her.
Xu Pingshan lowered her head and wiped away her tears, sobbing as she said, "I don't know why he did this. We promised to grow old together. I didn't ask for much, just to be able to grow old together. Why did he do this? What era are we living in? Is his son that important to him?"
Xu Wan asked, "Auntie, did Ma Jun mention wanting to have another child before?"
“No, I, I… can’t have children anymore.” Xu Pingshan looked at Xu Wan and sighed. “When I gave birth to Xiaolin, I had amniotic fluid embolism. It was an emergency, and it seems that they removed my uterus to prevent massive bleeding.”
Xu Wan was furious and anxious: "You had your uterus removed to have children for him, but now he's cheating on you with another woman and even had IVF to have two children for him."
“I knew he wanted a son. Before I gave birth to Xiaolin, he held my belly and kept calling out ‘son, son.’ I gave birth to Xiaolin at night. When he found out that Xiaolin was a girl, he was so angry that he turned around and went home to catch up on sleep. My mother-in-law was still alive at the time. Even the surgery was signed by my mother-in-law.”
Recalling these events, Xu Pingshan finally realized that she herself had been idealizing Ma Jun.
After she finished speaking, she pulled Xu Wan aside and asked, "Wanwan, tell me, what should I do now?"
"Regardless of whether you are divorced or not, pay attention to the flow of money in the company account. Also, all the money that Ma Jun spent on Sang Zhenzhen is your joint property as a couple. There are receipts for the money spent at Shenghe Hospital. You can ask Sang Zhenzhen to return it later, or write this part into the contract when dividing the property in the divorce."
Xu Wan has been diligently studying the legal provisions these past few days.
I briefly explained to Xu Pingshan what I needed to do.
“Okay, I understand.” Xu Pingshan took out her phone and said, “He’s not at the company all day. I want to see where he is.”
Xu Pingshan dialed the phone.
The phone rang for about twenty seconds before it was answered.
"Hello."
A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Xu Wan recognized the voice as belonging to Sang Zhenzhen in a second.
