Chapter 173 Receiving a Court Summons
Xiao Shanjie quickly let go of her hand, a fawning smile plastered on his face. "Sorry, I put it in the wrong place."
"snort!"
Huo Jiansheng gave a heavy, cold snort, "If you put it in the wrong place again, I'll cut off your hand!"
Xiao Shanjie clutched his chest, looking frightened. "You're so fierce! You scared me!"
Huo Jiansheng rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Riemann was stunned. This...this...
I can't even imagine!
Could it be that the two of them... really are?
Riemann glanced at them again... "It shouldn't be, right? Huo Jiansheng denied it last time too."
But wouldn't Huo Jiansheng be tempted by such a handsome man?
Riemann shook her head. What a waste of such a beautiful face.
Li Man multitasked, her hands never stopping, and once the skewers were cooked, she handed them to An Xin.
An Xin quickly packed the items. "Thank you. It's 845 in total. Since you're Aunt Li Man's friends, you can pay 800."
Chen Xiaohui had just whispered to her that she should only accept 800.
"Thank you, little girl. You're so cute. I'll come visit you again tomorrow," Xiao Shanjie said gently, taking out his phone to scan the QR code.
"Alipay received 845 yuan." The machine announced.
"Brother, scanning 800 is enough," An Xin said urgently, thinking that Xiao Shanjie hadn't heard what she said.
Huo Jiansheng said with a smile, "He's rich, so don't try to save money for him. Also, you should call him uncle; he's already 45 years old."
Xiao Shanjie's face immediately darkened, and he shouted, "Shut up, Huo Jiansheng! Don't you know a man's age is a secret?"
"Let's go, Riemann, you're busy."
Ignoring Xiao Shanjie's exasperation, Huo Jiansheng greeted Li Man, put his hands in his pockets, and left with a flourish.
Xiao Shanjie followed Huo Jiansheng around, chattering on and on.
Riemann shook her head with amusement and continued grilling her barbecue.
...
Lu Feng only learned after receiving the court summons that Tan Xiyuan had filed for divorce.
Lu Feng hadn't expected Tan Xiyuan to have so much evidence of his infidelity, including the company's financial statements. He then realized that he had underestimated Tan Xiyuan.
Last month, the two had a falling out, and he deliberately ignored her for more than a month without contacting her. Seeing that she hadn't made any move, he assumed she had given in, but he never expected that she would actually sue him in court.
He quickly drove back to his home, which he hadn't been to for over a month.
Seeing Lu Feng's sudden return, Tan Xiyuan was quite surprised and teased, "Oh, what a rare guest! What brings you here today, Mr. Lu? Don't you need to go home and be with your little lover?"
Lu Feng, his face dark, walked to the sofa and sat down. "Stop messing around, Xi Yuan. What exactly do you want?"
Tan Xiyuan was more than three months pregnant, but her belly wasn't showing yet, and with her wearing loose clothes, it wasn't noticeable.
"What do you mean, 'what do I want'? What are you talking about? Why are you asking such strange questions as soon as you get back?"
Tan Xiyuan looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Withdraw the lawsuit right now!" Lu Feng said.
"Ha!" Tan Xiyuan sneered, then realized what she meant, "Did you receive a summons from the court?"
Seeing Lu Feng remain silent with a cold expression, Tan Xiyuan curled her lip and said, "Withdrawing the charges is impossible."
"Then what do you want in return for withdrawing the lawsuit?" Lu Feng asked, softening his tone.
Tan Xiyuan held up two fingers. "Twenty million. Give me twenty million, and I'll withdraw the lawsuit."
