"He said so," Zhou Chunhua nodded. "He said he would investigate Su Mu carefully. Nana, I asked you to come here so I could ask you to recommend a lawyer. I want to divorce Liao Nanxing! He has to leave with nothing."
Otherwise, even if I work two or three jobs a day, I still won't be able to afford the cost of finding Nini. You know, I can't give up on Nini; she must be waiting for me to come and take her home.
“Divorce is easy, I’ll leave with nothing…” Before Juliana could finish speaking, she took off her trench coat and placed it on the armrest of the sofa, causing a collective gasp to rise from the crowd.
As was her habit, she started searching through her phone.
Professional tasks should be handled by professionals.
Zhou Chunhua could see Zhu Lina's predicament, which showed that this matter was definitely not easy.
But... the only person she could turn to for help was Juliana!
I watched as Juliana dialed the phone and spoke in Russian for a long time before hanging up.
"Thank you." Her eyes were filled with tears.
Juliana leaned forward, her slender fingers hooking her chin, her red eyes filled with heartache.
"Hua Hua, if you really want to thank me, why not offer yourself to me?"
The moment the tears fell, Zhou Chunhua smiled.
She met Juliana in high school. Juliana transferred from Russia and became her deskmate, speaking broken Chinese.
Perhaps because Juliana was too beautiful, the next day, she was cornered in an alley next to the school by the school bully and a group of young, blond-haired thugs.
It was only after she called over the auntie from the convenience store across the street and a passing teacher that Juliana was freed from her predicament.
That day, Juliana also cried as she thanked her.
She leaned down like Juliana, cradling her chin and saying the same words.
Then, they met, became friends, and became sisters who could entrust their lives to each other.
Wow, time flies! In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed.
Just then, the phone on the table rang.
Juliana answered the phone and got up, turning towards the coffee shop door.
Zhou Chunhua peeked out and saw a tall, refined-looking man walking in from the doorway.
He put away his phone, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, and came in front of me.
Behind the glasses were a pair of cold, deep eyes, sharp and shrewd.
Juliana introduced her to the lawyer, saying he was recommended by a friend.
After we sat down, the man handed us a business card.
The name on the document reads Junhe Law Firm, Gu Yao.
There is no title, no suffix, just a name.
But this name is exactly the same as her high school deskmate's.
Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but look up a few more times, then gave her name and politely extended her hand.
The other person didn't seem to notice anything unusual; it seems we've encountered someone with the same name.
Gu Yao stared at her hand for two seconds before taking it in return.
But the force and the unusually hot palms...
She struggled to pull her hand back, explaining her current situation to hide her unease.
“Ms. Zhou, if I may be frank, your request is quite difficult,” Gu Yao replied.
Zhou Chunhua frowned.
"Does Attorney Gu mean... even if we go to court, with the evidence I have, I can't make him leave with nothing?"
Gu Yao nodded: "Since he is Charles's friend, then I will speak frankly."
"To put it simply, women have never truly received justice and fairness. For example, the law stipulates that bride price is considered premarital property and can be reclaimed, while dowry is considered marital property and belongs to both parties."
During the relationship, expenses incurred by the man are considered joint expenses, and the woman is obligated to refund them in full after the breakup. However, expenses incurred by the woman during the same period are considered joint expenses, and the man is not required to refund them.
Furthermore, let's take an example. If I slap you right now, and you call the police immediately, I'll be detained for at least seven or eight days. If you say your ear or neck hurts, I'll have to give you twenty or thirty thousand yuan.
However, if I were your husband, I could beat you until you vomited blood and lost control of your bladder. If you called the police, you wouldn't get help, but rather the response that "even an upright official can't settle family disputes." I'm not exaggerating; this is the harsh reality.
I'm not attacking anything; I'm just telling you the truth. Let me put it this way: laws worldwide all carry liability. Only marriage laws carry no liability; at most, they offer moral condemnation.
The same principle applies to infidelity. He won't face legal consequences for cheating; at most, he'll only face moral condemnation.
Furthermore, Article 25 of the Marriage Law now stipulates that children born out of wedlock enjoy the same rights as children born in wedlock, and no one may infringe upon or discriminate against them.
With all due respect, unless your husband agrees to leave with nothing, your assets will only be divided according to the law. Furthermore, your only daughter went missing seven years ago, and child custody will not be considered in the divorce proceedings.
Instead, they will consider the custody of the unborn child more. Therefore, even if the matter goes to court, your chances of winning the majority of the assets are very slim.
Zhou Chunhua's hands and feet were ice-cold, and her pupils trembled.
"And..." Gu Yao continued, "Ms. Zhou, the evidence you mentioned, the evidence of living together as husband and wife for a long time, can't even be considered evidence."
"What's the meaning?"
"What I mean is that you don't currently have any evidence that the two of them have been living together as husband and wife for a long period of time."
Zhou Chunhua's heart skipped a beat.
The video in her hand was simply footage of the two of them behaving intimately as they entered and left the residential area where Su Mu lived over a period of ten to fifteen days.
They always referred to each other as godfather and goddaughter in public, and their improper relationship was merely speculation by others.
"Wait a minute." She suddenly remembered the word "currently" that Gu Yao had just said.
"What Attorney Gu just meant by 'currently' is..."
Gu Yao picked up the coffee cup in front of him with a smile on his lips.
