Chapter 75: Divorce is the only way out
Mu Huaixu's expression became increasingly ugly. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to hide the turmoil in his eyes.
"I've told you before, you've helped countless people with divorces, but have you ever seen anyone who could negotiate a good divorce and part ways amicably? I understand that you don't want to ruin the relationship you've had for so many years, but Fu Yanci won't do what you want. He's in the ascendant of his career, and he relies on his status as the son-in-law of the Shen family. He doesn't want a divorce at all!"
Shen Shuli lowered his eyes, his expression depressed, "Then I can only sue."
"Since you've decided to take this step, I can recommend you the best divorce lawyer, Lin Zhenyue."
When Mu Huaixu said this, Shen Shuli was stunned.
"Are you talking about Lin Zhenyue, the man who wins every lawsuit?"
After all, his name is well-known throughout the entire legal profession.
He has never lost a case over the years. Don’t even mention how high the lawyer fees are. Even if you have money, you can’t afford to hire an ordinary person!
Mu Huaixu nodded slightly, "It's indeed him!"
"Isn't it a waste of talent for Lin Zhenyue to help me with my divorce case? Besides, it's not easy to hire a busy man like him. Many people who want to hire him for a case have to make an appointment for two years."
Shen Shuli originally just planned to find a lawyer from their law firm to fight the lawsuit.
Mu Huaixu was actually able to directly invite a big shot like Lin Zhenyue!
Mu Huaixu took out his phone and made a call, "I'll send you the location, come over, yes, right now."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Shen Shuli had already guessed that he was calling Lin Zhenyue, but she didn't believe that a legal giant like Lin Zhenyue could be called by him with just one phone call.
After all, even if their director wanted to ask Lin Zhenyue for cooperation, he would not give their director the face.
However, unexpectedly, after only half an hour, someone knocked on her door.
Aunt Lin reported the name of the visitor, and it turned out to be Lin Zhenyue!
Shen Shuli widened his eyes in shock and quickly stood up to greet him.
Lin Zhenyue took the initiative to shake hands with Shen Shuli, “Hello, I’m Lin Zhenyue.”
Shen Shuli's eyes were like a little fan girl seeing her idol. After all, Lin Zhenyue was her idol when she entered the industry. The reason why she chose the legal profession was because she once witnessed Lin Zhenyue's heroic demeanor in court. His witty and witty appearance was engraved in her mind. Therefore, she chose to study law and refused to take over the family business. She had to become a lawyer.
At this moment, she was flattered to see her idol standing in front of her.
"Hello, Lawyer Lin, my name is Shen Shuli."
Aunt Lin immediately brought a chair.
Lin Zhenyue sat down and got straight to the point. "Mr. Mu, you're looking for me. Do you have a case you want me to handle?"
Mu Huaixu tilted his head back slightly, leaning against the back of the sofa, his fingers trembling gently with the rhythm of his breathing.
"My friend Shen Shuli wants to file for divorce and property division."
Lin Zhenyue didn't ask any more questions, but just asked in a very official manner: "Who is the other party?"
Shen Shuli replied: “Fu Yanci, the president of Fu Group.”
Lin Zhenyue pushed up his glasses. "He's been very popular recently. I've seen a lot of news about him. He's on the rise, and his wealth is expected to continue to rise. Are you sure you want to discuss divorce now? Why not wait a little longer?"
Shen Shuli said: "Money is not a problem. We are not divorcing because of a breakdown in our relationship. So, I don't want to make a big fuss about money. I just want a peaceful divorce and complete the division of property."
Lin Zhenyue asked, "What's the other party's attitude?"
"He doesn't want a divorce, so I want to file for divorce."
Shen Shuli looked out the window, her heart was in turmoil. She divorced him not because she didn't love him, but because she couldn't accept that he had another family. She just couldn't say it out loud.
Lin Zhenyue calmly analyzed, "Mr. Mu used to be a lawyer, and he must have told you that it's difficult to resolve a divorce peacefully, especially if the other party is unwilling. Once you get to court, it's impossible for you to remain calm. I suggest that you handle the matter impartially and without any emotional involvement."
"I'm a lawyer, how could I not know?"
Shen Shuli lowered her head, her eyes red. At the grand wedding three years ago, she felt that she was the happiest person in the world. She was held in the palm of Fu Yanci's hand, and she thought she would be happy for the rest of her life.
Unexpectedly, after just three years, she suffered a crushing defeat and had to end up in divorce.
Lin Zhenyue didn't say much, letting her sort out her emotions, and only spoke after a while.
"Since you're a lawyer, you shouldn't let your emotions get the better of you. Don't even think you can remain friends after the divorce. If you've even gotten to the point of filing a lawsuit, you're lucky if you're not enemies. You need to understand your position. I'll help you liquidate your assets promptly and divide them for the best possible benefit. If your spouse has been unfaithful in any way, let us know immediately so you can get a larger share of the assets."
"Stop talking, I want some quiet time."
Shen Shuli apologized, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Mu Huaixu immediately followed her, stood at the kitchen door, let her cry, and handed her tissues.
Shen Shuli just said thank you and didn't say much.
Mu Huaixu was so smart that he could tell what was wrong just by looking at her reaction.
"Fu Yanci cheated on his wife?"
"No."
Shen Shuli wiped her tears. She didn't want to tell Mu Huaixu about these things.
Mu Huaixu sneered, "Your eyes can't deceive anyone. The person you cheated with was that Bai Jinghong? You've got the evidence, right?"
"No, I don't have any evidence. I don't want to discuss this with you."
Shen Shuli turned on the faucet to wash his eyes, and his expression eased a little when he heard the sound of running water.
Mu Huaixu strode forward, took her into his arms, and pressed the back of her head. "If you want to cry, just cry. Why do you have to hold it in?"
Shen Shuli wanted to break free.
Mu Huaixu hugged her very tightly and held her down. This was the first time he had hugged her so closely, except for the time when he rescued her from the fire.
"Don't move. There's no one here. You don't need to consider worldly prejudices and opinions. You just need to vent your emotions. Be good."
Shen Shuli somehow didn't break free, leaning in his arms, crying silently.
She had never been so vulnerable.
Even when Fu Lingyuan dealt with her, she was not so scared.
It was because of the relationship they had had for so many years that she couldn't accept anything, no matter what the relationship between Fu Yanci and the child was, whether it was biological or not, whether it was through IVF or some other reason.
She didn't know how long she had been crying until she wet Mu Huaixu's clothes. Then she realized what she had done and quickly pushed him away.
"Mu Huaixu, I'm sorry I stained your clothes. Let me wash them for you and return them to you!"
The person in his arms suddenly left, and Mu Huaixu felt a void in his heart!
