When Cheng Yan heard from Rui Bao that Jian He had just been thinking about him, he was overjoyed.
However, he, who has never been good at expressing his emotions, did not show any particular expression on his face.
He held Ruibao affectionately in his arms and asked in return, "Really?"
Ruibao nodded vigorously and explained in his childish voice, "Yes, yes, Mommy said, 'Oh dear, why isn't Lawyer Cheng here yet? Why isn't he here yet?'"
Rui Bao imitated Jian He's mannerisms, repeating what Jian He had said, which delighted Cheng Yan.
He really couldn't understand why Yin Muqiao would give up such a good wife and child and insist on getting entangled with that Wu Hua.
Before Rui Bao could finish speaking and before Cheng Yan could ask him any more questions, Jian He, her face flushed, walked out of the study next door.
When Jian He saw Cheng Yan holding Rui Bao and talking to him affectionately, her face turned even redder.
She stepped forward and, somewhat embarrassed, took Ruibao from Cheng Yan's arms.
She said, "Ruibao, don't talk nonsense. If you keep talking nonsense, Mommy will spank you..."
Hearing that Jian He was going to spank him, Rui Bao quickly defended himself: "Mommy is bad, Mommy, you won't admit it! You were the one who mentioned Uncle Cheng just now, you were the one who missed Uncle Cheng, but you still won't admit it..."
Rui Bao yelled at the top of his lungs, pushing Jian He into an awkward situation. At this moment, she was holding Rui Bao, so helpless that she wished she could put him back into her belly.
How could this little guy...
"Nonsense, Zhou Yun, take Ruibao out to play."
To prevent the awkward situation from continuing, Jian He had no choice but to call Zhou Yun and ask her to take Rui Bao to play in the yard.
Rui Bao clung to Cheng Yan and didn't want to leave, but fortunately Cheng Yan comforted him with a few words.
"Ruibao, Uncle Cheng and Mom have something to talk about. After we finish our business, Uncle Cheng will take you to play."
"Be good and obedient, and Uncle will let you ride a big horse today..."
When Rui Bao heard that Cheng Yan wanted him to ride a big horse, he couldn't help but cheer.
"Great! I can ride a horse now..."
Soon, Zhou Yun took Ruibao to the yard.
Jian He stood in front of Cheng Yan, so embarrassed that she could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of her toes. She suddenly realized that she had known Cheng Yan since childhood, but now when she saw him, she felt her heart race.
Could it be that there's something wrong with her heart?
If that's the case, she'll need to take some time in the next few days to go to the hospital for a check-up.
Seeing Jian He's helpless expression, Cheng Yan wanted to laugh, but neither of them said a word.
To cover up her embarrassment, Jian He awkwardly tried to make amends.
"Cheng... um... I did mention you earlier, but what I mean is, didn't you promise to send me a set of management books?"
"Ruibao is still young, he's just talking nonsense. Don't take what a child says seriously."
Jian He's explanation only made things worse; it made her seem like she was trying to cover something up.
After hearing Jian He's explanation, Cheng Yan smiled slightly and said, "Alright, so I really thought you missed me as a person. Turns out, you missed my books?"
"I……"
Jian He was speechless.
Cheng Yan continued, "I brought the book to you. Gao Xiang will move it over in a bit... By the way, tomorrow is the cooling-off period for divorce. Your divorce with Yin Muqiao needs to be put on the agenda. What are your thoughts? Let's discuss it."
"Hmm...okay! Attorney Cheng, please go to the study."
The two went to the study to discuss Jian He's divorce from Yin Muqiao.
The next day, in the mediation room of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Jian He and Yin Muqiao sat facing each other. Next to Yin Muqiao sat Yin Hong, who had a limp, while next to Jian He sat Cheng Yan.
There are mediators who help with the mediation process.
After receiving encouragement from Cheng Yan, Jian He began to speak.
"Yin Muqiao, our marital relationship has broken down, and there is really no need to continue. Now that the cooling-off period for divorce has passed, I suggest that we part amicably and get the divorce certificate as soon as possible."
Upon hearing Jian He's words, Yin Muqiao tugged at his clothes and continued speaking without backing down.
"Fine, if you want a divorce, you have to agree to my demands. Give me 500 million yuan, and I'll sign the papers immediately. Otherwise, I'll keep you waiting..."
Seeing Yin Muqiao's shameless behavior, Jian He was very angry.
"I'll give you 500 million yuan? On what grounds? Because you cheated on me? Or because you're a scoundrel?"
Yin Muqiao didn't take Jian He's anger to heart.
He acted as if he had nothing to lose and said, "No matter what, you have to give me this 500 million yuan, otherwise, I will not divorce you."
"Yin Muqiao...do you have any shame?"
Yin Muqiao's behavior was truly despicable, and Jian He, unable to bear it any longer, started swearing at him.
Unexpectedly, Yin Hong's subsequent long speech completely shattered the worldview of the civil affairs bureau staff.
"Ha? Have some shame? What's the value of shame? Can shame afford to let our family live in a big villa? Can it allow our family to eat and drink the best of everything?"
“Jian He, I’ll accept your divorce from my son. But I must tell you, my son is not someone you can marry just because you want, nor is he a man you can divorce just because you want.”
"You've been with my son for so many years, and you've ruined so many of his opportunities to succeed. Now that you want to divorce Ah Qiao, you have to compensate Ah Qiao for the loss of her youth."
"snort……"
This staff member from the Bureau of Civil Affairs has been handling divorce mediation cases here for many years. She has seen many women asking men for compensation for lost youth, but this is the first time she has encountered a man asking a woman for compensation for lost youth.
"Yin Muqiao, you were the one who cheated first, you were the one who betrayed the marriage first. Now that we're divorced, you're asking me for compensation for lost youth? Do you think that's appropriate?"
Jian He was so angry she laughed.
Yin Muqiao said shamelessly, "What's inappropriate about it? You were the one who brought up divorce. If you don't give me money, why should I divorce you?"
Faced with Yin Muqiao like this, Jian He's remaining affection for him as a wife vanished without a trace.
She glared at Yin Muqiao and said, "I won't give you a single penny. If you don't sign today, I'll sue you for divorce tomorrow."
Hearing Jian He say this, Yin Muqiao was not frightened.
With just a glance from him, Yin Hong, the mouth double, immediately went online.
Yin Hong slammed his hand on the table and said to Jian He, "Fine, since you say you want to go to court, then let's go. When the time comes, our A Qiao will fight for Rui Bao's custody!"
