"Lin Chu!?"
"You, how did you get here..."
When Su Lin saw Lin Chu appear in the recording studio, she was so frightened that she lost her composure and her guilty and flustered gaze kept darting away.
They no longer acted as if this place was their own home, completely losing their previous air of entitlement.
Instead, it seemed as if they were caught red-handed and felt utterly ashamed!
Just as she was about to instinctively question Lin Chu about why she was there, she suddenly remembered that this place wasn't even hers...
Lin Chu was genuinely amused and exasperated when she saw Su Lin had bent the monitor on the table out of shape.
"Are you having such a hard time right now?"
"Going to such lengths, using your daughter as an excuse, and refusing to leave, all just to steal my computer?"
These words immediately made Su Lin blush and leave her speechless.
Lin Chu snorted, stepped forward to pick up the scattered sheet music and manuscript, and after a moment's thought, immediately realized what was going on.
"Oh, I see. That explains why you went to all that trouble to come back and stay for one night."
"Was it your lawyer who suggested you come here to steal the song's creation files, hoping to confirm copyright ownership?"
Splash!
He casually put the manuscript back on the table and gave a disdainful sneer.
"Don't bother working for nothing. I've already said that the copyright isn't in my hands at all, and I didn't write the new song."
"The copyright documents are all with the music company."
"They wrote those new songs, but they just authorized me to sing them."
"If you're suing me to take the copyright to those new songs, you can just have your lawyer withdraw the case. You won't win."
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, go look up the cases where your lawyer Song lost, and see how she treated those clients who lost but couldn't afford the legal fees."
"At that time, you won't even be able to keep the living expenses that I've left for your family right now, which I've been turning a blind eye to."
When Su Lin heard Lin Chu's sarcastic remarks, her initial panic was quickly replaced by anger.
She shoved aside the office chair that was blocking her way, her eyes sharp and sarcastic as she looked Lin Chu up and down, who was looking at her with disdain.
"Oh, you're really kind-hearted!"
"So, you're saying I should trust you and fire my divorce lawyer instead?"
"The living expenses you left for me? Where is it? I can't find it."
"The few tens of thousands of yuan I have in my phone account isn't even enough for a decent meal, let alone living expenses! How am I going to support my parents in their old age?!"
"And what about my brother who you sent to jail?! What will happen to him?!"
When these issues were brought up, Su Lin became defiant, gritting her teeth and cursing Lin Chu fiercely.
"Pooh!"
"Forget about it. There's absolutely no way I'm giving up on this lawsuit against you!"
"You'll definitely be the one who loses!"
"Are you saying this to me now because you're scared and want to manipulate me into giving up my right to defend myself?"
"Tch, men are really full of bad intentions, they can save them to fool other young girls!"
Lin Chu hadn't expected Su Lin to be so desperate and obsessive that she couldn't even distinguish between right and wrong words.
He immediately smiled, sighed, and shook his head helplessly.
"You have tens of thousands of yuan in your hands? You've been living a good life for too long. Have you forgotten how long tens of thousands of yuan can support a family of three?"
"If you have no money, why do you insist on staying in the capital with your adoptive parents?"
"Go straight back to your hometown in the south."
"Don't think I don't know that years ago, under the guise of filial piety, you bought houses for your younger brother and your parents in your hometown, and even built a big house in the village."
"The rent alone over the years is enough for your parents to live on in their old age."
“If you really want to go to court, my lawyer will not let go of these marital assets that you have transferred, and will take them all back.”
"When that time really comes, your family will truly be at its wits' end, with nowhere to turn."
"Don't blame me for not warning you."
In fact, he already knew about Su Lin's plan to buy property for her adoptive parents and younger brother in their hometown, but he never exposed her.
After all, at that time he was still immersed in the false happiness of marriage, and in a very subservient way, he thought that all of this was a matter of course.
However, he had already realized this in this life.
Therefore, when seeking legal counsel for the divorce, the existence of this asset was disclosed to the legal team immediately, but the family was still given some face and a way out.
He understood the principles of a cornered beast fighting desperately and burning one's boats.
If Su Lin's family is truly driven to a dead end and has no way to survive, who knows what irrational things they might do.
It is more likely to harm the child.
Leave them a way out; at the very least, if they're willing to go back to their hometowns, they can become small landlords with several properties.
While not extremely wealthy, they can still live a comfortable and easy life with enough to eat and wear.
This allowed Su Lin's family, who originally came from the village, to return home in glory, and everyone was able to live in peace.
But now, Su Lin is determined to go her own way and refuses to give up the lawsuit.
The money given to them as a fallback option in their hometown is not enough to offset the more than 40 million yuan in debt transferred through asset transfer; they still have to compensate themselves.
When Su Lin heard Lin Chu's words, it was as if she was thinking for the first time about the property and safety net she had back home.
My heart skipped a beat, and I hesitated for a moment.
"Yes, I still have a house in my hometown, but how come I... how come I don't remember any of it..."
Compared to the impoverished life she's been living in Beijing these past few days, going back to her hometown would definitely allow her to become a wealthy woman collecting rent.
But over the years, she has completely forgotten about those two houses.
Because all the rent and income were directly deposited into the adoptive parents' accounts, it was all meant to support them.
Most of that money was transferred to their son and spent...
Even though Su Lin has been trying her best to borrow money and find a house these past few days, her adoptive parents have remained silent and haven't mentioned anything about the house in their hometown.
For a moment, Su Lin felt a pang of sadness and grievance.
It seems that from beginning to end, only I cared about the divorce; my adoptive parents and younger brother only cared about money…
No one was even willing to help her share some of the pressure after the divorce.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel the urge to back out.
If we stop now and go back to our hometown, at least we can still maintain a modestly wealthy life there.
What if we really lose the lawsuit...
At that point, even this last resort will be gone...
Just as she hesitated, Lin Chu spoke again with an indifferent expression.
"Oh, right, there's something I forgot to tell you. Since you're here today, I'll let you know."
“Your brother is in detention and has altered his testimony; it’s inconsistent.”
"The police have now started a new review process to find more evidence."
"They said I need to go back to cooperate with the investigation and learn more about the situation. Maybe then I can submit some new evidence that my legal team has kept."
As he spoke, he also observed Su Lin's reaction.
Seeing that her gaze was shifting and she was hesitant, he immediately added fuel to the fire and continued to speak.
"Of course, if you are very confident and believe that your lawyer Song can win."
"We can also see each other in court."
