Love (forty-three)
Xi Jiu started to criticize Jiang Hengda as soon as he opened his mouth, and Jiang Hengda's face turned even paler.
Lan Lan's behavior just now made him feel even more uneasy. He suppressed his panic and shouted at Lan Lan angrily, "Even if you didn't spend the Jiang family's money, the house you live in is still the Jiang family's, right? Several villas in the family are registered in your name!"
"Are you talking about those villas your parents bought as gifts after we got married?" Lan Lan's bruised face showed a mocking smile. "If I remember correctly, those villas were in my name, but the down payment and loan were all paid by your parents. And they didn't seem to have a gift agreement, right?"
Everyone present was a little confused and didn't understand why Lan Lan suddenly asked this.
Ruan Qi was silent for a moment, then explained marriage law to everyone: "In the absence of a gift agreement, if the parents-in-law buy a house after marriage, regardless of whose name it is in, it will become the common property of the couple."
After the marriage, the parents-in-law paid for the house. As long as there was no clear gift agreement, even if the house was registered under Lan Lan's name, it was actually the joint property of her and Jiang Hengda, not her personal property.
Since the down payments and loans for these villas were all paid by Jiang's parents, who contributed a larger proportion, if Lan Lan and Jiang Hengda divorced, Jiang Hengda would get a larger proportion of the properties.
Lan Lan, on the other hand, got almost no money.
Therefore, Jiang's parents and Jiang Hengda only paid lip service to the idea. They appeared to have generously given the house to Lan Lan, but there was no written gift agreement. In reality, the house still belonged to the Jiang family.
Ruan Qi gave everyone a brief explanation, and after listening to it, the guests and the audience all suddenly understood.
[Oh my god! I never thought marriage would be so complicated!]
The Jiang family's parents may seem generous, but they're actually quite shrewd. They've apparently given the house to their daughter-in-law, but they haven't even written a gift agreement. If Lan Lan and Jiang Hengda divorce, they can easily take the house back.
"This is too disgusting! Either don't give it to me, or give it well. You say one thing and do another, are you treating Lan Lan like a fool?"
So, Lan Lan got married, lost her career, and didn't get any money?
When Ruan Qi was explaining the law to everyone, Jiang Hengda's expression gradually became stiff.
His eyes flickered constantly as he tried to defend himself: "Ms. Ruan, you have to have evidence when you speak. My parents gave Lan Lan a house out of good intentions, so how come you turned it into a conspiracy?"
"Oh?" Facing Jiang Hengda's rebuttal, Ruan Qi didn't get angry, but only raised an eyebrow. "In that case, then you can ask your parents to write a gift agreement. If your family dares to write it, I will apologize to you immediately."
Jiang Hengda was choked by the retort.
Of course he didn't dare to write a gift agreement.
The villas under Lan Lan's name are worth hundreds of millions. If the Jiang family really writes a gift agreement, then these hundreds of millions will never be recovered.
Jiang Hengda didn't dare to accept Ruan Qi's proposal, but he was too proud to admit it. He could only stiffen his neck and yell, "Miss Ruan, please don't worry about our Jiang family's affairs! It's better to demolish a temple than to break up a marriage. Hasn't Miss Ruan heard it?! You insist on breaking up Lan Lan and me. This is a sin. Don't—"
"Our marriage ended a long time ago. There's no need for Xiaoqi to break it up." Lan Lan suddenly spoke up, interrupting Jiang Hengda.
Jiang Hengda immediately glared at her.
Lan Lan was no longer submissive like before.
With Ruan Qi's help, she struggled to stand up from the floor. Ji Beibei quickly picked up the fallen wheelchair and pushed it behind Lan Lan for her to sit down.
Lan Lan was sitting in a wheelchair, looking disheveled from head to toe.
But her gaze was more determined than ever. She straightened her body, raised her head, and looked straight at Jiang Hengda.
"It's not that I don't understand the law. When your parents said they were going to give me a house, I already saw the flaw. But I married you for you, not for the Jiang family's money, so I didn't care about those things and pretended to be deaf and dumb with you for so many years."
"But now, I don't want to pretend to be confused anymore."
Here I come!
