"Lawyer Bai, wait a minute."
Bai Chuan had just started to speak when he was interrupted by Zhou Shuhuan.
"Brother Yang, I didn't know about this beforehand. I came here just to tell you and sister-in-law that I, Zhou Shuhuan, will never do anything like destroying bridges. No matter how much or how little the electronics factory earns in the future, I will definitely give you and sister-in-law your share."
Shen Baolan got anxious when she heard this, "Shuhuan, didn't we agree on this when we came here?"
After that, he hurriedly said to Pei Yang: "Just as we agreed before, we will return the 40,000 yuan to you, and you will return the shares of the electronics factory."
Before Pei Yang could speak, Bai Chuan laughed first.
I have seen a lot of strange things in this industry, but it is rare to see someone as stupid and brainless as Shen Baolan.
"Madam, my client's investment in Changhong Electronics Factory was completed and legal, and is protected by law. You cannot deny it with just one word. If you insist on denying my client's rights, then my client can only use legal means to protect his own rights."
"Shut up, it's not your turn as an outsider to interfere in this matter!"
Although Shen Baolan has a junior high school diploma, she knows nothing about law.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so naive as to think that as long as she returned the 40,000 yuan to Pei Yang, the investment issue could be put to rest.
Baichuan was able to handle an unreasonable shrew like Shen Baolan with ease.
"On behalf of my client, let me tell you the conditions for our withdrawal. First, we will ask a professional team to value the electronics factory and transfer the equity based on the valuation. Second, since you breached the contract first, according to the agreement, you need to compensate us for 20% of the liquidated damages."
Shen Baolan was confused. "What the hell?"
"For example, if the valuation of the electronics factory is two million, and you want to take back the 20% equity in my client's hands, you need to pay 400,000, plus an additional 400,000 in liquidated damages, which adds up to 800,000."
"Of course, this is just an example. We will ask a professional team to evaluate the actual market value of the electronics factory."
Shen Baolan almost jumped up, "Bullshit, 800,000, why don't you go rob a bank?"
Bai Chuan calmly took out a handkerchief and wiped off the spit on his face, then corrected: "800,000 is just my metaphor. Based on my experience, the actual valuation of the electronics factory is more than 2 million."
Although Shen Baolan is stupid, she still knows how to settle accounts.
"Pei Yang, you go back on your word..."
"Mingzhu just agreed to withdraw the shares. I have no objection to this as long as everything is carried out according to the contract."
Shen Baolan was so angry that she turned to Zhou Shuhuan for help.
"Say something! Someone is shitting on your neck and you are still holding it in silence? Are you still a man?"
Zhou Shuhuan stood up and slapped him in the face.
Shen Baolan was caught off guard and was knocked unconscious, falling onto the sofa.
She covered her face and looked at Zhou Shuhuan with shame, anger and fear.
"I'm sorry, Brother Yang, for causing trouble to you and sister-in-law. Without your help, the electronics factory would not have been established. I, Zhou Shuhuan, will never do such a thing as destroying a bridge after crossing it."
Pei Yang smiled and patted his shoulder, "It's okay. We've been brothers for so many years, how can I not trust you?"
Zhou Shuhuan nodded, said a few more polite words, then pulled Shen Baolan over and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Shen Mingzhu who was standing at the kitchen door watching the show.
"If you decide not to purchase the shares, please pay Attorney Bai's service fee. It's New Year's Day, and we can't let him make a wasted trip."
Shen Baolan wanted to say that whoever hired the lawyer should pay, but she was worried that she would anger Zhou Shuhuan and get slapped in the face again, so she could only glare at Shen Mingzhu.
Zhou Shuhuan readily took out his wallet and asked, "How much?"
Just as Bai Chuan was about to open his mouth, he heard Shen Mingzhu's clear voice: "One thousand."
Zhou Shuhuan was stunned.
Shen Baolan couldn't help but jump up and down, "Are you blackmailing me? He just said a few words, why do you want a thousand?"
Shen Mingzhu looked at her watch. "It will take Lawyer Bai four hours to get here from the time he left home, including when he will go home. Based on his hourly rate, he should be charged 200 yuan for his services."
"But today is New Year's Eve. I could have been at home with my family and children, celebrating the holiday happily. But I'm working overtime in the freezing cold for you. Is there anything wrong with charging me some overtime pay?"
Zhou Shuhuan counted out one thousand from his wallet and handed it to Baichuan.
Baichuan took it with a smile.
He can work overtime with such high cost-effectiveness until the end of the world.
Shen Baolan glared at the thousand yuan in Baichuan's hand, her anger rising to her head.
Shen Mingzhu sneered: "I'm going to return this to you exactly as it was said, Shen Baolan, you better understand, it was your man who came to you to borrow money, but now that you've turned the tables, you don't want to admit it. Do you think the world revolves around you and that you have to take all the good things in the world?"
"If Zhou Shuhuan is really a ruthless person, do you think that you, a stupid woman married halfway, will have a good ending? Do you believe that he will turn around and dump you and marry someone younger and prettier?"
These words not only insulted the couple, but also defeated them.
If you, Zhou Shuhuan, don't want to be called a heartless person, just follow the agreement honestly in the future.
As for Shen Baolan, can your man be ungrateful to his childhood friend of thirty years and still have feelings for you, his wife who has shared the hardships of life with him?
Shen Mingzhu's sarcasm was like a loud slap in Zhou Shuhuan's face.
He said to Pei Yang in a somewhat embarrassed manner, "Brother Yang, I'm going back first. We'll meet again some other time," and then turned and left.
"You're talking nonsense. My Shuhuan is not that kind of person!"
Shen Baolan shouted at Shen Mingzhu unyieldingly, and followed Zhou Shuhuan away.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Baichuan happily said goodbye and left.
The two children were upstairs. In the living room, Shen Mingzhu and Pei Yang sat opposite each other. No one spoke and the atmosphere fell into silence for a short time.
Zhou Shuhuan repeatedly promised that he would not burn bridges after crossing them, but if he really didn't mean to do so, he wouldn't have come to your house.
Allowing Shen Baolan to act recklessly may not be a test.
When it comes to interests, even brothers can become enemies, let alone the fact that they are not brothers.
After a long time, Shen Mingzhu reached out and held the man's big hand.
"Don't think about it. Just be happy today and put everything else aside until after the New Year."
"Um."
"Smile."
Pei Yang grinned, his smile was uglier than crying.
Shen Mingzhu raised her hand in dissatisfaction, pinched the corner of the man's mouth and pulled it up, "You have to smile like this."
"You need a kiss to smile."
"If you were given another chance to choose, would you still invest in Zhou Shuhuan?"
Pei Yang was dissatisfied: "You just said that we would talk about it after the New Year, and you brought it up again."
"Oh, don't you know women are fickle?"
Pei Yang pulled her into his arms, locking his arms around her waist. "You can change other things, but you can never change your love for me. Never."
Shen Mingzhu snorted, "Who loves you?"
"You love me. You know I'm unhappy and you try different ways to comfort me. That means you love me!"
Shen Mingzhu said, "I'm too lazy to coax you," and got up to go to the kitchen.
Pei Yang chased after her with a smile, tugged at her sleeve and asked unwillingly: "Tell me, do you love me?"
"No."
"I don't believe it."
"Believe it or not."
"Women always say one thing and mean another. If they say they don't love you, then they actually love you. I understand."
His face was filled with smiles and relaxation, with no trace of previous loss at all.
…
In the car.
"Shuhuan, you have to think of a way. Are you really going to give them all the money for nothing?"
Shen Baolan was still frightened by the previous slap, and her expression and tone were extremely cautious, and her face was full of reluctance. (End of this chapter)
