"Is she deliberately trying to end up with Yuan-ge? Aunt, she doesn't respect you at all."
"What should we do? If we really get divorced, where will we find such good jobs?"
"It's all over, it's all over. Why didn't my cousin ever try to be nicer to his wife? It's gotten to this point."
"Auntie, did you go too far with your tone just now? Shouldn't you apologize to your cousin's wife?"
Hearing her nephews and nieces' accusations, Zhang Yuefen swayed. They weren't even divorced yet, and they were already complaining? They never used to be like this!
The Song family employees who hadn't left yet were also sneer. They knew they couldn't find such good jobs anywhere else. They were usually so arrogant at the company, looking down on everyone. If it weren't for Xie Yuan abusing his power for personal gain, they wouldn't have had such a life of bullying others.
"Sisters, you guys need to make a decision quickly!"
Xie Chuancai said with a dark face, "The most important thing now is to see Xiaoyuan and hear what he has to say."
Is it true that Brother Yuan is keeping a mistress?
"I heard there's an illegitimate child involved, no wonder my cousin's wife is so angry."
"Why is my cousin so ungrateful? His wife is so wonderful, why is he bothering with other women?"
"He even dragged us into this. My cousin is really something."
"Enough!" Zhang Yuefen roared. "You have no right to criticize my son. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be where you are today."
Although it's the truth, not many people want to hear it. Normally it's fine, but seeing that Xie Yuan might go to jail and they won't get any more benefits, why bother coaxing him?
"That's not necessarily true. If I hadn't come to Song's Group, I could have become a junior manager in a few years at another company. Wouldn't that be better than being unemployed now?"
"That's right, I said I wouldn't come in the first place, but you, Aunt, insisted that working under my cousin was better than anywhere else, so I came."
“You guys…” Zhang Yuefen stared dumbfounded at these ingrates. Xiao Yuan hadn’t even done anything yet, and these people were already getting restless.
"Without my cousin's wife, my cousin is nothing. How come you don't understand this simple truth?"
“He often belittles his cousin’s wife. If I were his cousin’s wife, I would be angry too.”
"Shut up!" Xie Chuancai's eyes turned red. "Get out of here, all of you! You're all involved in embezzling Song's assets. Believe me or not, I'll have Xiao Yuan expose it all!"
The men's eyes flickered, and they dared not say another word. They did not want to be arrested by the police like Xie Yuan, so they dispersed and left without anyone paying attention to them.
Zhang Yuefen was so angry that she could barely stand. She truly experienced what it meant for a tree to fall and its monkeys to scatter. Now she didn't even have anyone to rely on.
What do we do now?
"Go find Zuo Shan. She's the only one who will do her best to save Xiao Yuan now."
Just then, Zuo Shan received a lawyer's letter demanding that she return all the illicit gains she had received from Xie Yuanyuan over the years. The amount was so large that it made her turn pale.
Zuo Shan is not someone who knows nothing. On the contrary, she went to university and knows some basic legal knowledge. She also knows that what she currently owns is the joint property of Xie Yuan and Song Xia. If she goes to court, she will most likely lose and can only get some alimony.
Actually, she still didn't understand that Xie Yuan and Song Xia didn't have much shared property. Most of what she owned now was obtained by Xie Yuan through improper means, so even if she had a son to raise, she wouldn't get much in the end.
Knowing full well that these assets would have to be returned once Song Xia discovered them, Zuo Shan still amassed them in large quantities because she didn't believe Xie Yuan would fail.
How could this happen so suddenly?
Why isn't there any news about it?
When exactly was Song Xia discovered?
Her face paled. Could it be that her provocation when they met at the entrance of the early childhood education center made Song Xia start to suspect something?
She urgently called Xie Yuan, but after several unanswered calls, she finally saw online that the person who provided the information had been taken away by the police.
She slumped onto the sofa, completely bewildered and clueless, until Zhang Yuefen and Xie Chuancai came to her door.
"Shanshan, Xiaoyuan only has you left now. You must rescue Xiaoyuan." Zhang Yuefen started crying as soon as she entered the door, which made Zuo Shan even more panicked.
"Mom, don't worry. Yuan is always smart. Let's go ask him what to do first."
"He's been taken away by the police, how can we see him?"
"Hire a lawyer, yes, hire a lawyer first, Brother Yuan will definitely be alright."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."
However, the best law firm in City A had already accepted Song Xia's case, and Zuo Shan had no work experience and knew nothing, so she could only randomly find a firm online.
Once the opposing party checks the information online and then looks at the opposing lawyer, they realize they have almost no chance of winning. But what can they do when the case involves such a huge sum of money and such high legal fees? Besides, what does it matter to them whether they win or not in the end? They just need to follow the procedures.
After a lot of persuasion, Zuo Shan signed the contract, and then he led her to the police station to see Xie Yuan.
Although he had committed a crime, it was Xie Yuan's right to hire a lawyer, so the lawyer and Zuo Shan were able to meet with him successfully.
"Brother Yuan, how are you?" In just half a day, Xie Yuanren looked much more haggard, and Zuo Shan was very worried.
What brings you here?
"I've hired a lawyer to help you, Brother Yuan. What's the situation now? How did Song Xia find out?"
"Regardless of how she found out, she now wants to kill me. She's not only suing me for bigamy, but also for embezzling company assets."
Zuo Shan exclaimed in surprise, "How could she be so cruel? You're her daughter's father, aren't you afraid of affecting Lingling?"
"Who knows what she's thinking? I can't even see her and talk to her now."
Xie Yuan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. If he could get out, he would never let Song Xia get away with it. He would also let Lingling know how vicious her mother was.
Zuo Shan hesitated, gritting her teeth: "Now is not the time to confront her head-on. How about I go talk to Song Xia? At worst, I'll apologize to her and promise to leave you."
Her words sparked a glimmer of hope in Xie Yuan's eyes. Perhaps it would actually work; after all, Song Xia had always loved him deeply, and this time, having taken such drastic measures, she certainly couldn't bear his betrayal. If…
If Zuo Shan promises to leave, will Song Xia's anger subside?
Therefore, he held Zuo Shan's hand affectionately and said, "Shan Shan, I'm sorry to have wronged you."
Zuo Shan shook her head: "I'm not wronged. I just don't want you to suffer, and I don't want you to be imperfect in Tianci's heart."
"You're so thoughtful. Don't worry, once this is over, I promise I won't let you or Tianci suffer."
The lawyer listening nearby was completely exasperated. Seriously, are you two even thinking straight? What makes you think this will make the plaintiff drop the case? Besides, it involves company finances; it's not something that can be resolved simply by one person withdrawing the case.
He wiped the sweat from his brow. This money wasn't easy to earn. What if he lost the case and then tried to renege on his promise?
