Chapter 928: A Turning Point in Uncle’s Divorce Case
I pretended to be very excited and said hesitantly, "Aunt, is there really no risk? You can't lie to me.
If the returns are really that good, then I will try to ask my family's Shiqiu for some more money and persuade him to contribute a small amount."
My aunt's voice was so excited that it was out of tune. "Of course it's safe. How could I lie to you? I'll give you an account number. You transfer the money to me and I'll invest it for you."
This really threw me off balance. I sneered inwardly, "Aunt, how can such a large sum of money be given without any proof? I don't even know where it was invested.
So, please send me the detailed project information and the investment company's business license, and have the project manager call me and explain everything in detail. If I'm sure everything is OK, then I'll sign the investment contract."
My aunt was speechless and hesitated for a long time. "Is it really that complicated? I just transferred the money, and three months later, they returned the money. They kept their promise. It's not that complicated."
This is just fooling me like a kid who knows nothing.
At least Xu Shimo even got a contract for my uncle, and the company was real. But when it comes to me, they don’t even bother to do these superficial things.
I pretended to be surprised. "Aunt, I'm planning to invest at least tens of millions. This isn't just a small investment of one or two million. You don't even know the name of the other company or where it's headquartered, do you?"
My aunt was clearly feeling guilty when she spoke. After all, she had never dealt with such a large sum of money in her life. "I know, of course I know. It's just...it's just...I feel like they're not outsiders. They're my old classmates, and you're my niece. We're all family. There's no need to make it like a business."
I continued to tease her, "Then send me the company name and I'll have the company's legal team do a background check. Xiao Shiqiu values this the most in his business. If there's no problem, maybe he can invest a few hundred million more."
"Um... um, um," the aunt hesitated, "I'm doing private equity, which is usually not open to the public."
My tone cooled. "Aunt, you're not doing illegal fundraising, are you? I heard the police are cracking down on it recently."
My aunt's laughter became very forced, "Mengmeng, look at what you said, how could your aunt do such a thing?
OK, I'll send you everything you want in two days.
I won’t say much today, I’m hanging up now.”
Without waiting for me to say anything, my aunt hung up the phone in a hurry.
Xiao Shiqiu looked at me and laughed, "Baby, you're good. You've learned a lot from He Xuming. You know how to ask for contracts and materials from the other party."
I raised my chin proudly, "Of course, didn't Lawyer He say that if the money was transferred without any proof, even if the police could recover it, she could argue that I lent her the money and it wouldn't be considered a crime.
At most, they can just return it to me without missing a cent. It won’t punish them.
But if she and Xu Shimo forged the documents and contracts just for the money, then the nature of the matter is different, it's pure fraud."
After hanging up the phone, I took the screenshot of the account my aunt had just sent me and forwarded it to my uncle.
Just half a minute later, my uncle called, "Mengmeng, is this a message from your aunt?"
I was quite proud, "Yes, you were fooled by me. In order to convince me to invest, you had to prove to me that the 2 million you invested was not wasted and there was a profit.
She had no choice but to send me a screenshot of her account.
Now you have proof of her account assets, and when we divorce you can get at least half."
My uncle was silent for a long time before he said, "I didn't want to believe that your aunt and outsiders had teamed up to cheat me, but now it seems to be true.
Mengmeng, thank you. I've figured it out. There's no need to hold onto old ties with Zhuang Lizhen anymore. The money she gets will have nothing to do with your cousins in the future. For them, I won't give up even a little bit in terms of property!"
My uncle, who was so honest that he was a little cowardly, finally said something with courage.
It really makes me happy!
I suddenly thought of something else, "Uncle, have you told my mom about you and my aunt?"
My uncle was taken aback and replied, "Not yet. Your mother has been worrying about me for many years. I don't want to bother her with such trivial matters anymore."
I breathed a sigh of relief, but I didn't want my mother to know because I really didn't know what kind of trouble she would cause given her personality.
When I thought of my mother, my heart skipped a beat. Calculating the date, my mother should come to City A for an academic exchange meeting.
I felt a little uneasy. I wondered how she would react when she found out that the case she was discussing was my father's illegitimate child.
When Su Yi called Xiao Shiqiu, we had just gotten up. When I saw Su Yi's name on the phone screen, my heart couldn't help but skip a beat. I instinctively thought it was about my father's illegitimate child.
"Brother Qiu, there is new information about the pregnant woman you asked me to inquire about last time. Do you want to hear it?" Su Yi's usually cold tone rarely revealed a hint of gossip.
"Oh? What's going on? Tell me~" Xiao Shiqiu's voice was a little lazy.
"Can you tell me who this woman is? Why do you care about the baby in her belly?" Su Yi usually looks like a banished immortal, so why is he so gossipy?
"No, tell me what's going on!" Xiao Shiqiu replied unhappily.
I was completely confused. "What pregnant woman?"
Xiao Shiqiu covered the phone with his hand and said in a low voice, "It was your aunt who asked Su Yi to ask his classmates last time."
"Oh, I forgot." I'm not used to my aunt being called a pregnant woman.
"Go on." Xiao Shiqiu continued on the phone.
"My classmate just told me that the pregnant woman you inquired about is almost 40 years old. My classmate said that the hospital recommended that she undergo Down syndrome screening and will undergo amniocentesis next week. I wonder if this information is useful to you.
Tell me the truth, the baby in her belly has nothing to do with you, right? "
Xiao Shiqiu cursed angrily, "Get lost! Don't talk nonsense in front of your sister-in-law. I'm married now, so don't try to sow discord between us, you single guys."
"Oh, then I'll wait until my sister-in-law is not around..."
Xiao Shiqiu hung up the phone immediately.
He was lost in thought, and subconsciously repeated, "Amniocentesis~"
Suddenly, a sly smile appeared on his lips. "Mengmeng, our uncle's divorce case may not need to be delayed that long."
I looked at him in confusion. "Why? What does this have to do with amniocentesis?"
He didn't answer me directly, but picked up the phone and called He Xuming.
"Xiao He, Zhuang Lizhen will have an amniocentesis next week. We can use this opportunity to get a paternity test. This way, the divorce case won't be delayed too long. If the child is lost later, there won't even be any evidence of infidelity."
