Chapter 925: Is the baby in the belly considered evidence?
I looked at Xiao Shiqiu. He obviously understood what I meant and nodded at me.
With the foreshadowing just now, I think my uncle should be more accepting of my aunt's betrayal. I hope it won't be too devastating to him.
"Uncle, there's something I think I should tell you."
I took a deep breath and walked over to sit next to my uncle, who was still a little dazed.
Xiao Shiqiu signaled everyone else to leave the laboratory first, and he left as well. Xiao Yang was the last one to go out, and he considerately closed the door, but I didn't miss his expression of wanting to eat some melon.
My uncle and I were the only ones left in the lab, and it was then that my uncle realized that what I wanted to tell him required clearing the room.
"Uncle, there is something I need to confess to you. Please don't think I'm meddling." I carefully considered my words. I thought that since I gave him the money, he wouldn't dislike me.
"I felt that my aunt's behavior was... a little unusual, so I asked Shiqiu to ask someone in Lincheng about it without your consent."
My uncle seemed very puzzled, "Your aunt is just an ordinary person, is there anything you need to know?
Mengmeng, I don't mean anything else. I believe you're doing this for my own good, but I don't quite understand why you're so curious about her."
I thought about it and decided to tell the truth, but I just took some of the credit away from Xiao Shiqiu.
"I noticed that she didn't mention anything about helping her find a job, so I guess she doesn't plan to come to City A and just wants you and your cousins to come. This seems very strange to me."
My uncle was stunned. "She said that arranging two jobs for you at once seemed too greedy, and she was worried that you would have a bad impression of us..."
I looked at my uncle with a helpless look in his eyes. He should know better than me whether my aunt would worry about such things.
Fortunately, my aunt is not around, and my uncle's IQ is obviously still online.
His expression changed, and he stopped talking. His fingers unconsciously rubbed the edge of the phone, his eyes a little vague: "So... what did you find out?"
I bit my lip and continued, "It's a coincidence that Xiao Shiqiu has a friend whose sister happens to be a classmate of my aunt.
She said that her aunt and Xu Shimo were a couple in middle school, but Xu Shimo's grades were so poor that he was a poor student. After her aunt got into college, she no longer liked him.
I carefully observed my uncle's reaction. He looked at me expressionlessly, as if he was listening to someone else's story.
I mustered up the courage to tell him everything that had happened next.
"That Xu Shimo is said to be doing well now. My aunt must have received a lot from him during this period."
My uncle thought about it carefully and said, "Indeed, I saw some new bags and jewelry at home. At that time, I told her to spend them frugally and save some money for the children in the future. She told me that they were all high-quality imitations, so I believed her."
He looked up at me again, "So that Xu Shimo is pursuing her again? She wants me to stay away so that they can date more easily? But her parents are still living at home, so what's the difference?"
I sighed and wanted to show him the photos of those two guys, but after thinking about it, I decided not to.
"Did you know that my aunt went to the hospital a few days ago?"
My uncle was stunned. "I know. A small note about registering for the appointment fell out of her bag that day. I asked her about it, and she said her gynecological inflammation hadn't healed yet, so she went to the hospital to get some medicine."
I looked at him sympathetically. "The director of obstetrics and gynecology at that hospital is a classmate of a good friend of Xiao Shiqiu. My aunt went to the obstetrics department to open a medical record, not to see a doctor. She's just three months pregnant."
My uncle's phone dropped to the ground with a thud. His face turned pale for a moment. I was afraid he was too upset, so I quickly said, "Of course, this doesn't mean she's pregnant with someone else..."
My uncle calmed down and waved his hand to interrupt me. He closed his eyes and then said, "No, it must belong to someone else."
"ah?"
Is he so unsure of his ability to have a baby? It's not appropriate for me to comfort him.
Just when I didn't know what to say, I heard my uncle say, "She has been saying that she is not feeling well and has inflammation, and we have been sleeping in separate rooms for almost five months, so it can't be mine." My uncle's voice was as dry as sandpaper.
I was relieved instead. There was no need for a paternity test. It couldn't be my uncle's baby anyway.
"No wonder she looks a little fatter recently and doesn't want to go on a diet anymore." My uncle smiled bitterly.
I asked softly, "So...what are your plans next?"
My uncle bent down, looking a little painful, holding his head with both hands and inserting his fingers into his hair.
"What else can I do? She's already created a file, which clearly means she's going to have a child for that person.
Forget it, she wants to leave, so I'll let her go free.
But why didn't she tell me directly? If she fell in love with someone else and told me nicely, I might agree to a divorce. "
I thought, if she takes the initiative to speak up, then she's clearly at fault, so how can she make any demands on you? Besides, she wants to squeeze you dry before divorcing you.
But thinking that my uncle was already very pitiful, I didn't add fuel to the fire.
"So are you planning to divorce now?" I asked carefully. What if he still wants to get back together, and I can't persuade him to divorce, right?
This time, my uncle stood up and nodded firmly. "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Lawyer He again."
I nodded and sent a message to ask Xiao Shiqiu and the others to come in.
My uncle looked straight at He Xuming and asked, "Lawyer He, can you take this divorce case?"
He Xuming habitually pushed his glasses up and resumed his previous polite demeanor. "Divorce cases aren't my specialty, but divorces for ordinary families are generally not too complicated. With all due respect, may I ask, does Mr. Lin's case involve an extramarital affair?"
The uncle nodded somewhat awkwardly. Xiao Yang's eyes lit up obviously, and he quietly sat down at the side, trying to make himself as invisible as possible.
I suddenly felt that Xiao Yang had a hard time. Following Xiao Shiqiu, he had to eat a lot of gossips and had to keep his mouth shut. He couldn't say anything. I could find time to talk to him later.
If this goes on for a long time, what if he develops a mental illness? I made up my mind that I should chat with him from time to time in the future.
While I was distracted, He Xuming had already started teaching my uncle what to prepare, one by one.
"First, as for evidence of infidelity, phone recordings can serve as indirect evidence, but more direct proof is better.
For example, hotel check-in records, call records, and joint visits..."
His uncle suddenly interrupted him, "Does the baby in my wife's belly count?"
"Well, if you can prove that the baby in your wife's belly is not yours, then those records are unnecessary. This is very strong direct evidence, but she has to give birth to it for it to count."
