Chapter 73 Do you have time to get a divorce certificate?
At 3 p.m., Shen Qingshu and Wen Jingxi returned to the studio.
The little golden retriever hadn't seen Shen Qingshu for a week. When it saw Shen Qingshu return, it barked excitedly and followed her wherever she went.
Shen Qingshu was both amused and exasperated by its clinging. "A-Yuan, don't get so close, or I might step on you!"
Upon hearing this, the little golden retriever stopped, and only after Shen Qingshu had taken two steps did it wag its tail and follow her again.
Wen Jingxi found it unbelievable, "You and this dog can actually communicate without any barriers."
“My grandfather’s golden retriever used to understand me.”
Shen Qingshu opened the office door and walked in, hanging her bag and coat on the hanger. She looked at Wen Jingxi and said, "You've been tired these past few days. Why don't you go back and rest if you're not busy?"
“I’m young, no need.” Wen Jingxi walked to the sofa and sat down. “Have you contacted Fu Siyan?”
Shen Qingshu paused, "Not yet."
"Not in a hurry?" Wen Jingxi stared at her, clearly disgusted. "Are you saving it for the New Year?"
"..." Shen Qingshu choked for a moment, then said, "I'll call now."
She took out her phone and dialed Fu Siyan's number.
On the other end, Fu Siyan answered the phone, his deep voice coming through: "Back in Beicheng?"
Shen Qingshu gave a faint reply, then asked, "When are you free?"
“If it’s about discussing three conditions, I’m available anytime. But if it’s about getting a divorce certificate, then I’m not available.”
Shen Qingshu frowned. "Fu Siyan, is this really necessary?"
"Think carefully about these three conditions before you contact me."
After saying that, Fu Siyan hung up the phone.
Shen Qingshu called again, but the call was rejected.
She gripped her phone, furious.
"He's not cooperating?"
"Hmm." Shen Qingshu tossed her phone onto the table and rubbed her temples. "Looks like we have no choice but to file a lawsuit."
Wen Jingxi took out his phone. "Let me ask my friends in Xingcheng for you."
"good."
Wen Jingxi went outside to make a phone call.
Shen Qingshu sat down at her desk and turned on her computer to look up information related to filing for divorce.
The office door was open. Lu Xiaohan walked over and looked at Shen Qingshu, saying, "Qingshu, someone is looking for you."
Shen Qingshu looked up at Lu Xiaohan, "Who's looking for me?"
Lu Xiaohan stepped aside and pointed to the side.
Shen Qingshu looked up—
Madam Jiang, Zhang Wanling, and Jiang Yueshu walked over from the side.
Shen Qingshu frowned.
Zhang Wanling pulled Jiang Yueshu, whose expression was clearly unwilling, into the office.
"Ah Shu, it's been so many years! You've grown even more beautiful. Your aunt almost didn't recognize you!" Zhang Wanling looked at Shen Qingshu with a smile, speaking to herself without being invited.
"Your sister and I were shopping around here, and we thought we'd stop by to see you!"
Shen Qingshu really admires Zhang Wanling's acting skills.
When her mother had her accident, the first person to come out and drive her away when she went to the Jiang family for help was Zhang Wanling.
Looking at Zhang Wanling's hypocritical smile, Shen Qingshu could only picture Zhang Wanling's fierce and mean face.
What a stark contrast!
Shen Qingshu felt a chill run down her spine, but her expression remained indifferent. "My only relative in this world is dead. Ms. Zhang, you don't need to flatter yourself. Goodbye."
Zhang Wanling's smile froze.
"Mom, look!" Jiang Yueshu stomped her foot angrily. "I already told her she wouldn't acknowledge us, but you insisted on coming here to humiliate yourself!"
Zhang Wanling glared at Jiang Yueshu, "Shut up!"
"I don't care, if you want to embarrass yourself, then embarrass yourself. I can't stand this humiliation, I'm leaving!" Jiang Yueshu shook off her mother's hand, glared at Shen Qingshu, and stormed off.
"Oh, you child..."
Unable to stop Jiang Yueshu, Zhang Wanling muttered a few curses, then turned to look at Shen Qingshu with a fawning smile.
"Ah Shu, don't mind her. Your sister has been spoiled by your uncle all these years. As her older sister, don't take it to heart!"
Shen Qingshu was extremely annoyed. "I don't have an aunt or a sister. You should leave now. If you don't leave, I'll have to ask security to kick you out."
"You!" Zhang Wanling almost cursed, but remembering the purpose of her visit, she suppressed her anger and continued to smile apologetically.
“Ah Shu, I know you’re still angry about your mother’s situation. I admit that your aunt and uncle were wrong before! But we had no choice at the time. The Shen family was putting pressure on us, and your mother did kill someone. So, we can’t really be blamed!”
Shen Qingshu looked at Zhang Wanling coldly.
She had seen through every member of the Jiang family five years ago.
Zhang Wanling came to her door today, and she could probably guess why.
But no matter why they came, Shen Qingshu's attitude towards them will not change!
"Xiaohan, please ask this lady to leave."
“Okay!” Lu Xiaohan stepped forward. “Excuse me, ma’am, our boss does not welcome you. Please leave immediately.”
Zhang Wanling looked at Shen Qingshu and frowned slightly: "Qingshu, I am, after all, an elder. Aren't you going too far by doing this?"
"Compared to you, I think I've already been quite well-mannered." Shen Qingshu withdrew her gaze. "Xiaohan, please leave."
Lu Xiaohan went to pull Zhang Wanling away.
"I'll walk by myself! How disrespectful!" Zhang Wanling shook off Lu Xiaohan's hand, muttered under her breath, and walked out of the office.
Lu Xiaohan sighed and followed him out.
Shen Qingshu didn't pay much attention to this little incident.
Wen Jingxi returned quickly after finishing his phone call.
Seeing his furrowed brows, Shen Qingshu guessed the outcome.
"It won't work, will it?" she asked.
"Not a single lawyer dared to take the case after hearing Fu Siyan's name." Wen Jingxi frowned. "Fu Siyan's influence in the political and legal circles is truly beyond my expectations!"
Shen Qingshu frowned and remained silent.
Fu Siyan's influence in the political and legal circles was already astonishing five years ago.
Nowadays, Fu Siyan is so powerful that, let alone in Beicheng, there probably isn't a single lawyer in the entire country who can rival him.
"Don't worry, let's think of another way."
Shen Qingshu nodded, but she knew in her heart that it was probably impossible to find a lawyer to file for divorce.
"At worst, I'll expose him with a fake account! We'll clear our names first, then get a divorce! He loves Zhou Yuchu and Fu Siyu so much, if the public opinion really blows up, I don't believe he'll be willing to let them suffer!"
Wen Jingxi said, "Although this method is a bit of a lose-lose situation, as long as it can lead to a divorce, I think it's worth a try."
Has the alternate account been exposed?
Shen Qingshu thought about it and realized that this might be a solution.
…
Meanwhile, in the hospital's VIP ward.
Zhou Yu had just been transferred from the emergency room to a ward and was still unconscious.
At noon, the maid discovered that she had swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills and she was rushed to the hospital for a stomach lavage.
At this moment, she lay unconscious on the hospital bed, and Fu Siyan stood by the bedside looking at her pale and fragile appearance.
The psychologist stood at the foot of the bed, reporting on Zhou Yuchu's condition: "Ms. Zhou has attempted suicide three times in the past week, and her depression is showing physical manifestations. If this continues, it may be very difficult for her..."
Fu Siyan's expression turned grave. "Is hypnotherapy no longer effective?"
"Ms. Zhou's inner conflict remains unresolved, and even the best hypnotherapy can only provide temporary relief."
The doctor paused for a moment, then continued, "Young Master Fu, perhaps you could try talking to Miss Zhou. When I was hypnotherapy with her, I discovered that she seems to have a very strong longing for the wedding."
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan frowned.
Is it a wedding?
He closed his eyes and silently clenched his fists.
