Chapter 191 Five hundred million?! You really dare to ask for such an exorbitant amount!
Nanxia looked at the old man who was walking angrily towards her and asked with a smile, "Director Zhou, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
Zhou Yuanming had already received a call from the court; the trial would begin in ten days. His face contorted with rage as he glared at the damned woman, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
"Why are you helping your wife with her divorce case? I kindly brought you into this law firm and even gave you shares, and this is how you repay me?!"
"I just feel sorry for your wife, and at the same time I really hate Lin Yi. Besides, the lawyer fees your wife paid were quite high. You know I'm a profit-driven person."
Hearing her reasons, Zhou Yuanming wanted nothing more than to punch her! But he held back and coaxed her, saying:
"If you drop my wife's case, I can separate from Lin Yi and compensate you for some legal fees."
"How much compensation will you give me?" she asked deliberately.
He still didn't know how much his wife had given him, but in order to protect his assets, he had no choice but to be generous this time. "How about fifty million? That's no small amount."
"Pfft..." Nan Xia suddenly laughed, "Your wife is much more generous than you. She gave me two hundred million. If Director Zhou wants me to withdraw, he'll have to give me at least five hundred million."
"Five hundred million?! You really dare to ask for such an exorbitant amount!" Zhou Yuanming was so angry when he heard her words that his face turned red and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.
That fat bastard actually paid her such high lawyer fees with his hard-earned money. Did he think that money was easy to earn?
Aside from the villa and the car, the total liquid funds in his account were less than 400 million!
"If Director Zhou can't afford it, then there's nothing I can do." Nan Xia spread her hands, looking quite helpless.
Zhou Yuanming gritted his teeth secretly, then nodded with a chilling smile, "Alright, since you're going to fight this case for her, then go ahead and do it."
If the case really goes to court, he will undoubtedly lose. The whole country knows about his affair with Lin Yi, so he absolutely cannot go to court.
Is it to kill this damned Nanxia? Or that fat bastard?
It would be difficult to kill Nan Xia, and even without her, that fat woman could find other lawyers to continue the lawsuit.
Perhaps Song Yanzhi will help with the court appearance.
First, we need to deal with that fat bastard...
But, we can teach this despicable woman a lesson first!
Zhou Yuanming flicked his sleeves and strode out.
Nan Xia raised an eyebrow. Judging from his expression just now, she knew he was about to make a move against his wife. Very well—that's exactly what she was waiting for!
"We need to find someone to monitor him and his wife; this matter is a bit dangerous..." Only by monitoring them can we obtain evidence.
She thought for a moment, then called the bodyguard who drove her car and asked him to monitor Zhou Yuanming's every move, including who he met.
He then called Ruan Mianmian and entrusted her with the task of monitoring his wife.
In Song Yanzhi's office.
After hanging up the phone with Nan Xia, the bodyguard immediately reported what she had asked of him to Song Shao and asked for his opinion:
"Young Master Song, should I follow Miss Nan's instructions and go to monitor Zhou Yuanming?"
"Go ahead and take pictures of everyone he meets. Be careful not to let that old man find out," Song Yanzhi instructed him.
"Yes," the bodyguard replied.
"By the way, did Nanxia go to the pharmacy today? What did she buy?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Miss Nan didn't let me go to the pharmacy, I don't know..."
"Be more careful in the future." After giving her instructions, Song Yanzhi hung up the phone and then called two bodyguards from the villa to come and stay with her temporarily.
Zhou Yuanming is definitely going to lose this divorce case. He's certainly not willing to leave with nothing, and he'll probably try to mess with his wife before the court hearing, or he might even teach Nan Xia a lesson.
Even though she and Shen Yan are already living together and she's someone else's girlfriend, he can't bear to watch her get into trouble.
After get off work in the afternoon.
When Nanxia returned home, she thought her mother was at the hospital taking care of her younger sister, but she didn't expect her to be home too!
"You're finally back? Come and test me. You can run away, but you can't hide. What are you trying to do?" Sitting on the sofa, Nan's mother picked up the pregnancy test kit next to her and lifted it up.
Hearing her mother's words, a row of black lines appeared on her forehead. She walked over, took the pregnancy test kit, and went back to her bedroom. Nan's mother immediately stood up and followed her.
"You don't want to go into the bathroom and watch, do you? I'll be so embarrassed," Nan Xia said.
"You'll do a good job with the test, right?" she asked.
"Yes, wait outside." After entering the bathroom in the bedroom, she locked the door and then took out a bottle of dragon fruit juice from her handbag. She wondered if this would result in a dip or a horizontal bar test.
Nan's mother paced back and forth in the living room with her arms crossed, wondering if she should tell Lawyer Song if that girl was really pregnant.
If she hadn't been told, she wouldn't have married Shen Yan while pregnant, right?
That man definitely wouldn't agree.
"Then I have no choice but to make up with Attorney Song," she thought to herself.
Four minutes later, Nanxia came out with a pregnancy test and handed it to her: "I already told you, I'm not pregnant. It's just that my stomach is upset. Don't make a fuss about it."
Nan's mother took it, looked at the red line on it, and felt very disappointed. "Why isn't she pregnant? When will I finally be able to hold my grandson?"
"Okay, Mom, don't overthink it. Go to the hospital and take care of my sister. I'm a little tired from work today, so I won't go to the hospital," Nanxia said to her mother.
Nan's mother had no choice but to go to the hospital. After leaving the house, she took out her phone and called Shen Yan. After the call connected, she asked, "Yan, are you off work yet?"
"It's time to leave work, is there anything I can help you with, Auntie?" he asked.
"Come to Weiwei's ward, I have something to tell you."
“…Okay.” Shen Yan paused for a moment before replying. What did his aunt want to say to him so formally?
They even asked him to go to Weiwei's ward?
He had planned to have dinner with Nan Xia, but he had to go to the hospital first.
More than half an hour later, he drove to the ward where Nan Weiwei was staying, bringing with him a lot of expensive supplements and fruits.
Nan's mother turned to look at him as he walked in, thinking that he was sensible and knew to bring things over.
"How are you feeling? Does your wound still hurt?" Shen Yan put down what she was holding and walked to the bedside to ask.
Nan glanced at him indifferently, "Very good."
Looking at her lukewarm tone, Nan's mother scolded her, "Chen Yan will be your brother-in-law in the future, so you should treat him better. Look, he even bought you so many tonics."
"Okay," she replied.
"It's alright, Auntie, I won't blame her. Maybe she's just not used to having a brother-in-law yet," Shen Yan said considerately.
"By the way, Auntie, is there something you wanted to tell me?"
"I just want to ask you, when do you plan to marry Xiaxia? You two aren't young anymore, and relationships that last too long are easy to break up with." Nan's mother asked directly, without beating around the bush.
