He used his connections to find a top-notch lawyer, and following the lawyer's advice, he decisively applied to the court to freeze his assets.
Using a little bit of social connection, they successfully obtained Zhao Qian and Su Yao's hotel booking records, their travel expenses, and intimate photos...
Some of the evidence dates back as far as twenty years.
Liu Zi smiled bitterly. How foolish she was to have been tricked by these two, spending half her life working hard to earn money for them to spend.
After six months of wrangling, the top lawyer did not disappoint Liu Zi. Not only did she make Zhao Qian leave with nothing, but she also applied to the court to recover the marital property that Zhao Qian had spent on Su Yao.
Liu Zi could picture Zhao Qian and Su Yao's furious expressions, but she never imagined that the son she had raised since childhood would actually lay a hand on his own mother. What a beast!
"Get away from me, you good-for-nothing, this is my mother."
When Zhao Gang saw Liu Zi hugging Zhao Qi, he reached out and pulled her away.
"Let go!"
Without hesitation, Liu Zi slapped Zhao Gang's small hand away again.
In her past life, she always thought that Zhao Gang was jealous and acted domineeringly because of the birth of his second sister.
To comfort her son, Liu Zi indulged him in everything, and sometimes even made her daughter Zhao Qi feel wronged because of it.
She would never do such a stupid thing again in her life. He was an ingrate, utterly heartless, and not worth her effort anymore.
Zhao Gang's crying and shouting made Liu Zi's ears hurt. Just as she was about to tell him to stop, she suddenly heard the sound of a door opening downstairs.
Zhao Gang's eyes lit up, and he immediately got up from the ground, crying and rushing downstairs, his voice deafening.
Immediately downstairs, the sound of Old Lady Zhao calling out "My darling" could be heard, followed by the sound of angry footsteps.
Zhao Qi shrank back and hid in Liu Zi's arms.
Liu Zi remained calm and gently patted her daughter's back, offering silent comfort.
In just a few seconds, Old Lady Zhao had already rushed to Liu Zi's door.
Grandma Zhao was only in her fifties at the time, with fashionable permed hair, wearing a bright pink trench coat and the latest sneakers.
Her eyes were sharp and her lips were thin; one could tell from her appearance that she was not someone to be trifled with.
When Granny Zhao saw Liu Zi still sitting on the bed, she couldn't help but point her finger at her and start cursing.
"You little brat, how dare you hit my grandson! Believe me or not, I'll tear you apart."
After speaking, Old Lady Zhao still felt unsatisfied. She rolled up her sleeves, took two steps forward, and raised her hand to slap Liu Zi, but unexpectedly, Liu Zi raised her hand to block her.
"You bastard, you actually dared to fight back."
Old Mrs. Zhao looked at Liu Zi in disbelief. This wasn't the first time she had hit Liu Zi. This coward had only ever cried before, and this was the first time she had dared to stop her.
Anger surged within her, and she rolled up her sleeves and charged forward again, disregarding everything else. She was a formidable figure in the village back in the day, and she wasn't about to give up so easily.
However, with her height of just over 1.5 meters, even when Liu Zi was sitting on the bed, she was still somewhat short.
Previously, Liu Zi was young and timid, and since she was an elder, he didn't dare to lay a hand on her.
But now, her heart has become that of a middle-aged woman who has been working in the entertainment industry for many years. She is not about to let an old woman gain the upper hand so easily.
Liu Zi's eyes were fierce; she couldn't wait for Old Lady Zhao to make the first move.
Old Lady Zhao was no fool. She noticed the unusual expression on Liu Zi's face, her eyes darted around, and she changed her strategy. She sat down on the ground and started shouting.
"I can't live anymore! How dare my daughter-in-law lay a hand on her mother-in-law! You're trying to drive me to my death!"
"My son treats you so well, and you actually beat his mother behind his back. I'll make my son divorce you."
Old Lady Zhao once again resorted to her usual routine of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. Her demeanor and posture were almost identical to Zhao Gang's earlier, and even the place she was sitting was the same.
In the past, Liu Zi was concerned about her reputation and afraid of what her neighbors would say, so she would have given in much earlier and begged Old Lady Zhao for forgiveness.
Even when she complained to Zhao Qian later, he mostly just brushed her off and even advised her to be more tolerant, saying that it wasn't easy for his widowed mother to raise him and that he hoped she wouldn't hold it against him.
When Granny Zhao first started playing tricks on Liu Zi, she was afraid that Liu Zi would go home and complain, but afterwards she found that nothing had happened.
Only then did she realize that Liu Zi, who seemed aloof and unapproachable, was actually a pushover who was easy to bully, and she became even more arrogant afterward.
Liu Zi was young when she got married and was subjected to psychological manipulation by the mother and son for a long time, which led her astray. Even Zhao Qi suffered a lot as a child because of her.
It wasn't until later, due to livelihood issues, that Liu Zi went out to work, met more people, and broadened her horizons, that she gradually came to understand some things.
However, by then, Old Lady Zhao had already died, and Zhao Qi had grown up, so there was no point in saying anything more.
Liu Zi stared at the chaotic scene before her, veins throbbing on her forehead.
She wasn't in the mood to argue with the old woman; she had more important things to do.
It is now 1998, and her parents have not yet died in the car accident. This time, she is determined to stop them from getting on that bus of no return.
Liu Zi got out of bed, ignoring the still-throwing old woman Zhao, opened the wardrobe, took out a bag, packed some clothes, and of course, her few pieces of gold jewelry and her secretly hidden savings.
She deserves all of these things. She still has to raise her daughter and won't try to be strong in this kind of situation.
"You can't leave. You hit someone and think you can just walk away? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
Old Mrs. Zhao was a little flustered. This girl's parents were high-ranking officials, and her son had already warned her to behave herself.
But it's not her fault. How could she know that Liu Zi would suddenly become so tough this time? Did she find out about that matter?
Old Mrs. Zhao was a little flustered, but then she thought, even if she knew, what could she do?
His son is a big boss now. He can divorce that bitch and find a younger woman to have a son with. Unlike her, who is so useless and keeps having daughters!
Even if rumors start circulating now, as long as they don't admit it, it's just a lie, and she's not afraid to reason with them anywhere!
While Old Lady Zhao was still lost in thought, Liu Zi had already packed her things and led Zhao Qi downstairs.
Hey! Wait a minute! Where are you going?!
Old Mrs. Zhao shouted with a strong voice, but she had been kneeling on the ground for too long and her legs were numb. She couldn't stand up for a moment and could only watch helplessly as the mother and daughter walked further and further away.
"grandmother!"
Zhao Gang was so frightened that he hid to the side, and only ran out from the corner after Liu Zi left.
The woman's expression was terrifying. He was just listening to his grandmother and didn't want them to leave, so he tripped Zhao Qi slightly.
Unexpectedly, his mother actually hit him. If he hadn't run away quickly, he would probably be covered in bruises by now.
His mother has transformed into an evil giant dinosaur from TV.
