Before the car entered the court, Shi Nian saw Zhang Jiahao, his mother and a man standing at the door from a distance.
She frowned and tilted her head to look at Shi Wei with concern.
Shi Wei's body was stiff, and her red eyes were fixed on the people at the door.
Shi Nian's eyes flashed with heartache. She held Shi Wei's cold hand and comforted her, "Sister, don't be afraid. Lawyer Yao and I are with you. We are in the court now. They dare not do anything to you."
Yao Hua also agreed, "Yes, if something unpleasant happens during the mediation, we can suspend it at any time. The mediation period is one month. Even if we can't get a good result this time, there will be opportunities in the future. Miss Shi, you and your sister don't have to be too stressed. After entering the mediation room, if you don't want to speak, I can convey your demands on your behalf."
Shi Nian was grateful, "Lawyer Yao, thank you so much."
Yao Hua smiled, "You're welcome."
As the car drove into the court, it immediately attracted the attention of several people at the door.
Shi Nian held Chenchen in her arms, got out of the car, and followed Yao Hua towards the lobby.
As they passed the door, Zhang Jiahao suddenly said, "Xiao Wei, we are husband and wife, why do you have to make things so unpleasant?"
Old Mrs. Zhang glared at Shi Wei with a frown, snorting coldly and breathing heavily.
Shi Wei looked directly at Zhang Jiahao calmly, "As a couple, I just hope we can part ways in peace."
Old Lady Zhang said angrily, "Little bitch, I think you don't want to drink the toast, but want to drink the penalty wine!"
Shi Nian frowned and stood in front of Shi Wei. "Mr. Zhang, if you have anything to say, let's talk during the mediation later!"
Before Mrs. Zhang could get back at him, someone pulled her sleeve.
Zhang Jiahao reminded, "Mom, we are in the court now."
Old Mrs. Zhang spat at Shi Wei, then turned around and walked in front.
Shi Nian rolled her eyes and said, “You old fool, you’ll cry soon!”
The group entered the court and went into the mediation room under the guidance of the staff.
The two sides sat opposite each other, with a mediator sitting at one end of the long table.
The mediator broke the confrontation and asked, "I see that the request for divorce was made by Ms. Shi. Who of you two proposed it first?"
Old Lady Zhang spoke before Shi Wei, "We men don't agree to divorce!"
Shi Wei's face turned pale, and she said firmly, "Whether you agree or not, I'm going to leave."
The mediator patiently asked, "Old lady, since both parties are here, we just hope that we can mediate it and not resort to litigation. Our marriage is over, so let's part ways amicably..."
Old Lady Zhang interrupted, "Who wants to part ways with her in a friendly way? She hasn't even given birth to a son, and she's wasting our Zhang family's betrothal gifts. Even if she leaves the house with nothing, I won't agree!"
Shi Nian was so angry that he said, "You don't agree to leave the house, and my sister doesn't agree even more! How much has my sister suffered in your house? You want to let it go like this? No way! You have to pay for my sister's mental damages and medical expenses!"
Yao Hua asked, "What conditions will you sign the divorce agreement?"
"Let's not talk about anything else. Before the divorce, she must pay back the betrothal money that our Zhang family gave to Shi Wei, including the principal and interest. Secondly, there is also the money she spent on free food and drinks over the years, and the rent, water and electricity for the house she rented from us..."
Shi Nian interrupted and said angrily, "Old beast, do you still have any shame? Is my sister eating and drinking for free at your house? She serves you 24 hours a day, like a nanny, cooking and cleaning at home every day. If you want to talk about money, fine, let's make it clear now. The market price of a live-in nanny like the one I just mentioned is 10,000 yuan a month. For so many years, your Zhang family has been giving money to my sister!"
Old Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips, looked unhappy, and stopped talking.
Zhang Jiahao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "Let's put the money aside for now. I'm fine with divorce, but I want custody of Chenchen."
Shi Wei immediately denied it, "No!"
Shi Nian hugged Chenchen tightly, frowning, "Zhang Jiahao, you did this on purpose, didn't you? You knew that Chenchen was my sister's life, yet you still proposed such an impossible condition! Your mother favors boys over girls, and you're not much better. If Chenchen follows you, what good will it be? Don't even think about the custody of Chenchen!"
Zhang Jiahao's face fell and he looked at Shi Wei, "You can't even support yourself, how can you support Chenchen? Chenchen will start school next year, where are you going to get the tuition?"
Shi Wei retorted with red eyes, "I can find a job by myself. You don't need to worry about Chenchen! I will never give you the custody of Chenchen!"
Zhang Jiahao refused to change his words and the two parties parted unhappily.
Coming out of the court gate, Shi Nian asked Yao Hua about the follow-up matters when he suddenly heard a sharp shout.
She turned around quickly and found that Old Lady Zhang and Shi Wei were arguing over Chenchen.
Old Mrs. Zhang pushed Shi Wei to the ground, picked up Chenchen and ran away.
Everything happened in an instant, and Shi Nian ran after him.
"You old bastard, put Chenchen down!"
Old Mrs. Zhang carried Chenchen into the car. Shi Nian was a step slower and watched the car drive away.
Shi Wei got up from the ground and ran after him, "Chenchen!"
Shi Nian saw Yao Hua driving over, stopped her sister, and pulled her into the car.
"Miss Shi, hold on tight, I'm going to speed up."
Yao Hua's car followed Zhang Jiahao. Shi Wei blamed herself and twisted her fingers together. She cried anxiously, "It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of Chenchen. What should I do... Nian Nian, what will Zhang Jiahao do to Chenchen... Will he beat her? Chenchen is so young..."
Shi Nian hugged Shi Wei and comforted her, "Sister, it's okay..."
The phone suddenly rang, interrupting her.
Shi Nian gently patted Shi Wei's back, flipped out her phone with one hand, saw the caller, and quickly answered, "Si Han!"
"Niannian, I happened to be handling something near the court and just finished it. Is your sister's side going well?"
"Si Han, where are you now? That bastard Zhang Jiahao took Chenchen away!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. "Don't worry, send me the shared location and Zhang Jiahao's license plate number."
Feng Sihan's voice was deep and powerful. Shi Nian felt at ease. He kept the phone connected, clicked into WeChat, shared the location, and reported the license plate number.
Shi Wei asked in a trembling voice, "Niannian, is it your brother-in-law?"
Shi Nian nodded and comforted her, "Yes, sister, Si Han is nearby. With him around, Chen Chen will definitely not be in danger."
Shi Nian discovered that the distance between their locations was not far, and he quickly looked around.
Feng Sihan's voice suddenly rang out, "Nian Nian, I see you."
Shi Nian looked around, "Where are you? Why can't I see you?"
Just as she finished her words, she saw a familiar black car with its hazard lights on, driving past her.
Shi Nian pointed to the front and said to Shi Wei excitedly, "Sister, it's Si Han!"
