Chapter 157 It was my fault that I ruined my Ah Shu
Shen Qingshu went to the balcony to answer the phone.
The lawyer sighed heavily on the other end of the phone.
“Attorney Fu refuted all the evidence we presented to prove his infidelity.”
Shen Qingshu frowned. "How did he overturn it?"
"He presented a paternity test result showing that he and Fu Siyu are not related by blood," the lawyer said. "The paternity test results show that he and Fu Siyu are not related by blood!"
Shen Qingshu was taken aback. "No blood relation?"
"Yes, and he also presented evidence of Zhou Yuchu and Feng Yuncheng's marriage, including documents and wedding videos, which refuted our evidence that he had an extramarital affair with Zhou Yuchu."
"Not only that, Attorney Fu also turned around and accused us."
“He presented Xiao Anning and his paternity report, and directly claimed that your four years of separation were a misunderstanding. He said that he was deceived by Teacher Jiang and Teacher Bai, and that he did not know that you were still alive during those four years. In short, he did not abuse his power in any way, and based on these two points alone, he refuted the claim that your marital relationship had broken down.”
"What shocked me the most was that he then played the sentimental card. He produced his medical records from four years ago when he was seriously ill and hospitalized, as well as evidence that Teacher Jiang had arranged your funeral. He said that he had no idea you were still alive during those four years, and that the so-called four-year separation was all a scheme by others, and that he was the victim..."
"Then, he also provided photos and videos of your family trips, the most recent being four years ago in Ghana, of the photos you took with Fu Siyu in your wedding attire. When he brought them out, not to mention the judge, even I, who knew the whole story, was almost moved by him..."
Shen Qingshu frowned deeply, her face growing increasingly pale.
So this was the trap Ghana had been waiting for her!
Shen Qingshu closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Fu Siyan is absolutely shameless!
"Ms. Shen, I did my best. It's a blessing to have met an opponent like Attorney Fu in my lifetime. After this case, all I can say is that Attorney Fu is a real scoundrel!"
Shen Qingshu was so angry that she couldn't speak.
The lawyer sighed, "But don't be too pessimistic. Although we failed this time, we can appeal again, but there will be a six-month interval between appeals."
"I understand," Shen Qingshu said, suppressing her anger. "Thank you for your hard work."
"I'm sorry I couldn't help you."
"It's not your fault, it's Fu Siyan who's too despicable!"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingshu clutched her chest and squatted down.
Although she never thought the lawsuit would be easy to win, she never expected that Fu Siyan would be so shameless!
Ghana wedding photos...
How ironic!
When she heard her lawyer say that Fu Siyan denied the breakdown of their relationship and was playing the sentimental card, she really couldn't help but be affected.
They were secretly married for five years; when did he ever show her any affection?
Now, in order to continue trapping her in this marriage, he's putting on a show of deep affection in court?
Why?
He clearly doesn't love her, so why can't he just let her go?!
My phone vibrated; it was Fu Siyan calling.
Shen Qingshu stared at the caller ID for a while before answering the phone.
"Did the lawyer tell you?" A deep male voice came from the phone.
Shen Qingshu curled her lips into a cold laugh, "Did you enjoy the performance?"
Fu Siyan paused, seemingly puzzled, and asked, "Didn't the lawyer tell you about Siyu?"
"I already told you," Shen Qingshu said calmly. "Whether he's your biological son or not, I no longer care."
“I didn’t tell you before because Siyu’s identity is special.” Fu Siyan said in a serious tone, “His father was my comrade-in-arms who died in the line of duty. His situation is quite complicated and special. All information about him needs to be kept secret. I can’t tell you more. It’s not good for you to know too much.”
"So what?" Shen Qingshu didn't want to hear any of this. She just wanted a divorce, and she wanted a divorce right away!
“Fu Siyan, are you still going to tell me now that you and Zhou Yuchu are completely innocent, that you never slept together, and that it was all an act?”
“Zhou Yuchu and I are completely innocent.” Fu Siyan’s voice was cold and deep. “The online hype before was just to show the Zhou family that she didn’t have an easy time in the Zhou family. She suffered a lot to give birth to Siyu. I was just helping her.”
Shen Qingshu found his explanation laughable.
“Fu Siyan, perhaps four years ago I would have cared about these things,” Shen Qingshu said coldly, “but now all I want is a divorce.”
“I’m explaining this to you because I don’t think these things should be grounds for divorce. Apart from that, I can’t find any other reason why we need to divorce.”
“We have no feelings for each other, we’re only together in name,” Shen Qingshu said through gritted teeth. “These are enough reasons for our divorce!”
"But wasn't our marriage a transaction from the very beginning?"
Shen Qingshu was taken aback.
“Shen Qingshu, when I chose to marry you, I never thought about getting a divorce.”
Fu Siyan's voice was deep, "Marriage is about mutual benefit. Before, our family of three was harmonious and warm. Now we have Xiao Anning. For the sake of our two children, we should not get a divorce."
"Fu Siyan!"
Shen Qingshu could no longer bear it, "You really disgust me!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Fu Siyan called again.
Shen Qingshu hung up and immediately added him to her blacklist!
I haven't been this angry in a long time. My chest was heaving, and my breathing was getting more and more rapid.
The glass door opened, and Jin Que strode over. "Miss Chen?"
Shen Qingshu slowly raised her head to look at him.
Jin Que noticed her pale complexion, frowned slightly, and squatted down in front of her. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Qingshu shook her head, trying to compose herself.
"Getting angry is bad for your health." Jin Que helped her up, his voice gentle. "Aunt Jiang is awake."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu nodded, "I'll rest for a bit and come right away."
Jin Que could roughly guess that she was acting this way because of Fu Siyan.
But he didn't ask anything. This was Shen Qingshu's private matter. She would naturally talk about it if she needed to, but she didn't, so Jin Que respected her and didn't press her for details.
After confirming that she was alright, Jin Que turned and went inside, leaving her time to calm down on her own.
Five minutes later, Shen Qingshu pushed open the glass door and walked in.
Over on the sofa in the living room, Jiang Yuelan was holding Xiao Anning and showering her with kisses.
Little Anning was held in her grandmother's arms, her little face being kissed again and again, her beautiful eyes filled with helplessness.
She blinked when she saw her mother.
As Shen Qingshu watched this scene, she suddenly thought of a saying she saw online: "If you've been kidnapped, just blink."
She smiled.
"Mom, you're still laughing!"
Xiao Anning frowned, "Please help me! Grandma is hugging me too tightly, I can't breathe!"
No wonder Jiang Yuelan was so excited; Xiao Anning really looks just like Shen Qingshu when she was a child.
When Jiang Yuelan, who was in a daze, saw Xiao Anning, she immediately assumed that Xiao Anning was her 'Little Ashu'.
"Little Ashu, my little Ashu!"
Jiang Yuelan held Xiao Anning tightly, refusing to let go, and muttered "Little Ashu" to herself, kissing her after each utterance.
Xiao Anning was also sensible. Although her grandmother's love was 'suffocating', she did not struggle or resist. She just frowned and asked Shen Qingshu for help.
Shen Qingshu walked over and sat down next to her mother, saying softly, "Mom, can you be gentle? This will make Xiao Anning uncomfortable."
“Little A-Shu…” Jiang Yuelan shook her head, “Little A-Shu, mine, she’s mine…”
She thought Shen Qingshu was going to take the child from her, so she frowned and glared at Shen Qingshu.
Aunt Qin was dumbfounded. "Oh no, it's refreshed again. A little Ashu has appeared, but I don't recognize the big Ashu!"
Shen Qingshu was also somewhat at a loss regarding this situation.
She could only ask Xiao Anning to try to communicate with Jiang Yuelan.
Xiao Anning is a smart child; she only needs a slight hint from Shen Qingshu to understand.
"I feel so awful!" Xiao Anning cried out at the top of her lungs, "Oh no, I can't breathe!"
Jiang Yuelan was taken aback.
Shen Qingshu looked at Jiang Yuelan and gently reminded her, "Mom, you're holding the baby too tightly. She'll feel uncomfortable."
Jiang Yuelan then looked down at Xiao Anning in her arms.
Xiao Anning looked at her and squeezed out two tears, "You hurt me!"
Jiang Yuelan panicked immediately, letting go of Xiao Anning and frantically wiping away Xiao Anning's tears with her sleeve, "Don't cry, don't cry... Xiao Ashu, don't cry..."
Xiao Anning, whose face was rubbed sore: "..."
Shen Qingshu watched from the side, feeling both sorry for her daughter and amused.
In the end, it was the animated film that saved Xiao Anning.
The TV was playing Bald Qiang, and Xiao Anning and Jiang Yuelan were sitting on the sofa, one big and one small, watching with great interest.
Shen Qingshu and Jin Que went to the balcony to talk.
Jiang Yuelan's condition has improved, but if she is to rely entirely on traditional Chinese medicine treatment, she will need professional intervention around the clock.
Jin Que recommended his uncle to Shen Qingshu. He was also a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor, but now he lived in the countryside and cultivated medicinal herbs.
If Jin Que were to ask, his uncle would definitely help him.
Since Jin Que recommended him, Shen Qingshu naturally trusted him.
"You can arrange it as you see fit, I'm fine with anything."
"But if my uncle is to treat her, she will need to go to the countryside for treatment."
This was somewhat unexpected for Shen Qingshu.
“I’m worried she won’t adapt well to life in the countryside.”
"So I'll have my uncle come over first and get to know Aunt Jiang for a few days. Once Aunt Jiang is settled, then we'll let them go back to the countryside. What do you think?"
Shen Qingshu looked through the glass door at Jiang Yuelan, who was sitting on the sofa watching cartoons.
After a moment, she pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and made up her mind, "Okay."
…
Jiang Yuelan was sleepy again, so she rubbed her eyes and started calling out "A-Shu".
Shen Qingshu helped her to her room to sleep.
"Ah Shu, please accompany me." She awkwardly expressed her need.
Shen Qingshu helped her lie down, then turned to lie down beside her herself. "Okay, A-Shu will stay with you."
Jiang Yuelan took her hand, closed her eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.
Shen Qingshu waited until Jiang Yuelan was fast asleep before gently withdrawing her hand. Just as she sat up, Jiang Yuelan cried out and woke up—
"You bitch! You bitch—"
She stared wide-eyed, her eyes fixed on the ceiling, yet Zhou Yuchu's hypocritical face appeared before her.
Her pupils trembled violently as everything that happened at the law firm on the day she jumped into the river flashed through her mind!
"Why? God! Please spare my Ah Shu..."
"mom?"
Shen Qingshu was startled by Jiang Yuelan's sudden situation!
Jiang Yuelan screamed "unfair fate!" while repeatedly pounding her head with her fists.
"Mom, please don't do this!"
Shen Qingshu grabbed her hand and called out to her loudly, trying to bring her back to her senses.
But Jiang Yuelan completely lost control, and Shen Qingshu alone couldn't suppress her at all.
The door was suddenly flung open, and Jin Que and Aunt Qin rushed in.
"Quick, hold her down!" Jin Que opened his acupuncture kit and lit the alcohol cup.
Aunt Qin and Shen Qingshu together restrained the out-of-control Jiang Yuelan.
Jin Que quickly performed acupuncture on Jiang Yuelan.
After a few needles, Jiang Yuelan gradually calmed down.
She stared at the ceiling, tears streaming down her face.
"Lin Lanyi stole my husband and destroyed my family. Why? Why is her daughter fighting with my daughter for my daughter's affections...?"
"What did my Ah Shu do wrong? Why, why..."
"It's my fault, I couldn't beat Lin Lanyi... I ruined my A-Shu... I deserve to die..."
