Chapter 41 The Female Supporting Character's Mother - Deciding to Divorce
After lunch, the two best friends went to the building where Qi Haotian worked.
Junsheng Law Firm is the largest law firm in Jiangcheng, and the entire building belongs to Junsheng. The first floor not only has a coffee shop but also various dessert shops. The second and third floors house a huge library, open to both company staff and the public. The fourth floor is a cafeteria, the fifth floor is a client reception area, and the sixth floor and above are office areas.
Yao Yao and Qi Yueyue took the elevator to the fifth floor, where there were already quite a few people. The two found an empty sofa and sat down.
Before long, Qi Yueyue's cousin, Qi Haotian, came downstairs. The three met, and Qi Yueyue, acting as the middleman, introduced them to each other.
Qi Haotian led the two to a quiet area, and after they sat down, Yaoyao began to recount Zhao Kang's story from beginning to end in a clear and organized manner.
Even after hearing the whole story a second time, Qi Yueyue couldn't contain her anger, her expression filled with rage. Qi Haotian, on the other hand, remained calm. As a lawyer, he had heard of even more bizarre things; human nature is complex, and people are capable of anything, so he was used to it.
After Yao Yao finished speaking, Qi Yueyue immediately said, "Brother, this is definitely a marriage fraud! We must sue! Bring this scumbag to justice!"
Qi Haotian looked helplessly at his cousin's indignant expression and shook his head: "This path won't work. According to Miss Shu's explanation, Zhao Kang did not make any financial moves. Currently, the legal definition of marriage fraud is mainly based on the amount of money involved."
"Ah!" Qi Yueyue wailed and sighed.
Yao Yao, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up: "Attorney Qi, what about bigamy? Can that be established?"
Upon hearing Yao Yao's words, Qi Yueyue's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, Zhao Kang has committed bigamy!"
Qi Haotian smiled: "In Miss Shu's case, it is possible to file a lawsuit for bigamy, but the prerequisite is to determine whether Zhao Kang is living with a third party as husband and wife. This is crucial."
"We can ask the neighbors. If Zhao Kang and the third party are careful and only reveal to outsiders that they are friends or relatives, then it will be difficult to handle. Furthermore, the third party is still pregnant, so the child's identity cannot be confirmed. Even if the child has been born, we cannot conduct a paternity test on Zhao Kang and the child to determine their parentage without the consent of the parties involved."
Qi Yueyue grew angrier the more she listened: "This... this is just letting that scumbag get away with it?"
Qi Haotian remained silent, and Yao Yao was also deep in thought. For a moment, the air was quiet.
After a while, Yaoyao continued, "I've already asked someone to investigate Zhao Kang's situation abroad. The results should be available in about ten days, at which time I'll discuss it in detail with Attorney Qi."
Qi Haotian nodded in agreement: "Besides this, does Miss Shu have any other requests? For example, the child?"
Qi Yueyue also realized what was happening and looked at Yaoyao with concern: "Yes, about the baby, Yaoyao, what do you think? It's only three months old now, there's still time."
Yao Yao was resolute: "I must get a divorce, and I must have custody of the child. I want custody of the child, and Zhao Kang will pay child support. As for the marital home, it was originally purchased jointly by both families. I plan to sell it and split the money equally between the two families. If Zhao Kang wants the house, then he should give me the money."
Qi Yueyue hurriedly added, "And the company too?"
Yao Yao shook her head: "When he started his business, we weren't married yet. Only my dad introduced him to people. He funded the company himself. I wanted to give him the money for free, but Zhao Kang had principles. He didn't take it, saying it was a loan and that he paid it all back before we got married. We didn't have much joint property after marriage."
"Well, that scumbag was actually quite prescient," Qi Yueyue said with a pout.
Qi Haotian had a very good impression of Shu Yao. In the past, when he received women in this field and talked about related issues, he often lost control of his emotions. He would either burst into tears and be unable to continue speaking, or he would get so angry that he would curse. He rarely had such stable emotions, let alone someone who had only been married for a few months.
Qi Haotian: "The issues of the child and the house are easy to resolve. Based on the current situation, the judge will definitely award custody of the child to you. The property certificate is in both your names, so it is considered joint marital property, which is also fine. Now, only the bigamy charge remains. The criteria for determining bigamy are very difficult. Let me give you a heads-up: don't have too high hopes for this. If the other party is meticulous enough, you may not be able to find any evidence."
Yao Yao still had a very calm expression. From the original plot transmitted by the system, she knew that Zhao Kang was a meticulous person. He was willing to find a man with the surname Zhao to marry his lover just so that the child would have a legitimate identity. So now, he must have made full preparations as well.
To be honest, Yaoyao wasn't disappointed, nor was that her goal. The scumbag was indeed a scumbag, but he was still the father of her child. Breaking the law and going to jail would also affect the child's future academic goals. What if the child wanted to take the civil service exam in the future?
If she could find evidence, that would be best. Yaoyao would naturally use that leverage to get Zhao Kang under her thumb. It would be so satisfying to see that scumbag begging her. Just thinking about what happened to the original owner of this body, Yaoyao couldn't wait to see him kneeling and begging.
It doesn't matter if no relevant evidence is found, the divorce is a must! She wants to see if Zhao Kang can still achieve success in business after the divorce, and whether he and his true love can still walk hand in hand to the end!
Touching her belly, Yao Yao thought to herself that she must raise her child well, teach her to play the guzheng, dress her up beautifully every day, give her endless love, and let her be the leading lady in her own life. All those vicious supporting actresses should just get lost!
Yao Yao refused to believe that in this life, the daughter she had carefully raised with love would still be someone else's supporting character!
Seeing the concerned looks from her cousins, Yao Yao smiled and said casually, "Don't worry, I'm prepared. Zhao Kang is a meticulous person, and it will be difficult for him to find evidence. My main concerns are divorce and custody of the children."
Qi Haotian: "There's no need to worry about child custody. Divorce is also an option. If we can't reach an agreement privately, then we can file for divorce. These are not major issues."
Yao Yao: "Okay, Attorney Qi, I'm sorry to bother you today. Thank you very much for your answers."
Qi Haotian laughed heartily: "You're welcome. You're Yueyue's friend, which means you're my friend too. It's nothing."
Qi Yueyue linked arms with Yaoyao and said boldly, "That's right, we're like sisters. My brother is your brother too. Ask me anything, don't be shy!"
Qi Haotian looked at his youngest cousin with affection, smiled, took out his phone, opened his personal profile QR code, and handed it to Yaoyao: "Yueyue is right, let's add each other's contact information. If you have any questions later, just say them on the phone, and I will reply when I see them."
Yao Yao also took out her phone and said with a smile, "Okay, then thank you for your help!"
After exchanging contact information and saying goodbye, Yao Yao and Qi Yueyue left together.
