Ex-husband, Please Stay - C228
In the bedroom, Du Linghao wiped his wounds with an alcohol quilt, while Yuyao stood on the side in a daze. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to help, it was just that Du Linghao didn’t dare to let her do it.
“Your Wenwen is really pitiful to have met such a barbaric mother-in-law.” Yuyao clicked her tongue again and again, but there was no sympathy on her face at all.
“Stop gloating.” Du Linghao glared at her, “Maybe your future mother-in-law is even more ferocious than my mother.”
“This lady will not marry.” The Yuyao snorted. How could she bear to be humiliated like this.
Du Linghao laughed, “I really do look like I married you back, let my mother experience true intrepidity, in the future, she will know how good my Wenwen is.”
Yuyao squinted her eyes and replied with a smile, “I’m afraid that you won’t have the fortune to live.”
Du Linghao sighed and shook his head, “I think it’s better to keep it to myself. Lu Yuyao, you can’t be too gentle and virtuous. If I were Ji Rufeng, I would also choose to not have Zuo Ya to choose from you. ”
Yuyao glared at him fiercely, stepped on her high heels and left.
Naturally, she could not go downstairs to prevent Madam Du from asking all sorts of questions and being forced to stand on the rooftop at the end of the long corridor.
“Why are you standing here? It’s almost autumn, and the autumn wind is piercing the bones. Why are you wearing so little? ” A soft voice suddenly sounded from behind him. Yuyao turned around, and the one standing behind him was the gentle lady from before.
“It’s indeed a little cold. Auntie Wei, let’s go in.” Yuyao raised her lips slightly, her eyes curved into a smile. Compared to Du Linghao’s mother, Wei Zhanyan was much more gentle and benevolent.
“I heard Madam Du say that your name is Yuyao?” Zhan Yan gently held Yuyao’s hands. Her small hands were white and beautiful with a little meat on them.
“Yes, my name is Lu Yuyao.” Yuyao smiled with curved eyebrows, sweet lips, and was very pleasing to the eye.
“I’ve seen your parents. Your parents are amazing to have raised such a obedient daughter.” Zhan Yan smiled gently at her. This little girl was rather close to him, but unfortunately, Ru Feng didn’t have any sort of fate with her.
Yuyao blushed at the praise, “Auntie, are you from S city? I have a friend who is also from S city. He told me that S city’s sea is very beautiful. ”
“Yes, the sunrise in the morning is very beautiful, suitable for lovers to date. If you have the chance to go with Ling Hao to S City, you can come visit Auntie at her house.”
Yuyao held Zhan Yan’s arm, and the two chatted and laughed as they walked down the stairs towards the guest hall.
Although the Yuyao had a big temper, she had always been obedient and well-behaved in front of the elders, coaxing Zhan Yan to be happy. Zhan Yan had always been thinking, how did she and Ru Feng break up back then? She understood Ru Feng’s personality very well, he wouldn’t take emotional matters as a joke. Looking at the Yuyao again, he did not seem like a child who would cause trouble randomly. Perhaps, it was because their Ji Family did not have the luck to marry such a good girl.
When Du Xiaomo and Zhan Yan returned, on the carriage, Zhan Yan was still sighing.
“What are you sighing for?”
Zhan Yan smiled helplessly, “That girl from Lu Family was once together with Ru Feng.”
“Ah?” When did this happen? ” Although sshe was middle-aged, Du Xiaomo was still a gossipy person. Eight years after Ji Rufeng left the country, he should not have interacted with Lu Yuyao at all. The only possibility was when he went to Beijing to study, “It couldn’t have been eight years ago, right? “How old were they then? This is a love affair.”
“Maybe. We met too early, so we couldn’t grasp our feelings properly. We came and went too quickly.”
“Like you and Gao Yuxuan?” Du Xiaomo teased.
“Why are you bringing up the matter of Chen Sesame Rice Seed?” Zhan Yan rolled his eyes at her and asked, “Big brother isn’t coming to the capital this time? It has been a long time since Ji Yun returned to S City. ”
Du Xiaomo shook her head, “A few days from now, Su Ying will also be back from abroad. He should stay in S City to accompany Tongtong, and let the father and daughter reunite properly.
Du Xiaomo spoke in a relaxed manner, but her tone was more or less filled with helplessness. Ten years ago, Su Ying passed away from sickness. Five years later, Du Xiaomo and Ji Weixin received their certificate.
Although she had a name, she rarely went to Ji Family Great House. Old Man Ji had never been fond of her. Even though she had only married into Ji Family many years after Su Ying’s death, she still couldn’t get rid of Little San’s position in the end.
“It’s good that he didn’t go back, but he can still accompany Ji Yun. That brat has already lived with his girlfriend for a year already, so when is he planning to get married?” Zhan Yan changed the topic.
Du Xiaomo looked as if she did not care about it, “I am too lazy to interfere in his business, whenever he wants to get married, I will prepare the marriage for him. Zhan Yan, don’t create trouble for yourself. It’s your freedom who Ru Feng wants to be with, haven’t we lost a lot of money before?
Zhan Yan sighed, she was not a person who looked down on poverty and wealth, nor would she look up to Lu Yuyao just because she was the daughter of a great general.
“Look at the girl with the Lu Family, her eyes are clear and clean. This kind of girl must be kindhearted.”
“The one that didn’t dance well?” Du Xiaomo asked with a smile.
“I don’t know either. I just think that Zuo Ya girl is not that simple.” Zhan Yan squinted, as if she was thinking about something.
She remembered the first time Zuo Ya came to her house, her eyes were wide open and her mouth was round. She looked at everything in a novel way, just like a grandma Liu who entered a big garden. When he spoke to her, his eyes rolled around, but he didn’t dare to look her in the eye. It was as if she was plotting something bad. This kind of person always gave people the feeling that she had something wrong with her heart.
“What a shrewd child Ru Feng is, it’s still your turn to force me to worry.” Du Xiaomo always said that Zhan Yan was worrying over nothing.
“I’m just afraid that he doesn’t know his way around. This foster son is a hundred years old and has a long worry of ninety-nine years. I feel it now.” Zhan Yan sighed.
“Then why did you risk your life to give him birth?” Du Xiaomo continued to joke.
“If I don’t get pregnant with him, who would bother me and make me angry? “Wei Yang didn’t even utter a single word in front of me. He was completely bored.” Zhan Yan smiled gently.
Du Xiaomo rolled his eyes at her, “What are you showing off for, you’ve been spoiled by Ji Weiyang all these years.”
The car drove slowly into the night.
Yuyao accompanied Du Linghao in a show of love at the Du Family household and was very tired. When she returned home at night, she immediately fell asleep on her bed.
On the second day, Yuyao was still woken up by the alarm clock. She hurriedly washed up and changed her clothes.
When Yuyao just arrived at the office, she was called into the office by Dai Yi Jun without even drinking a sip of water.
“Master, you were looking for me?”
“Yes.” Dai Yijun handed a stack of documents to her, “Contact the client. You are in charge of this case.”
Yuyao took out the documents and casually flipped through a few pages, asking in confusion, “Master, this kind of case is your specialty, is it appropriate for me to do it?”
“It’s alright, you handle it. Look through the information and contact the person involved. The case will begin in a week’s time. ”
Since Dai Yi Jun had already said so, there was no reason for Yuyao to back down. After all, she was still young and needed to accumulate experience.
Yuyao spent the entire morning studying the information from the beginning to the end. She finally knew why Dai Yisheng had decided to push the case to her.
The plaintiff in this case was the nobleman of the rich side of Beijing, Zhao Dongcheng, and the defendant was her ex-wife, Xu Jingyi.
Under normal circumstances, cases of snatching children would only compete for the custody of children, but in this case, the child was still in Xu Jingyi’s stomach. Zhao Dongchen’s request was for the child to be raised by the Zhao Family after it was born. He would give Xu Jingyi a sum of money and buy off the mother and son relationship between her and the child.
“Damn!” There are all sorts of trash men. ” Yuyao could not help but curse in a low voice. How was this treating her wife the same as spending money on a woman’s child?
No wonder no one dared to pick up this case, she reckoned that Xu Jingyi was also a woman with a strong sense of self-esteem, who would leave her home after getting divorced. Since she couldn’t take out the money, no one was willing to take it. Furthermore, Zhao Dongcheng was not an ordinary person, no one was willing to offend him.
colleague Shi Wei walked over, looked down at the file in her hands, and shook her head, “You got this thankless case? This Xu Jingyi is really dumb, it’s fine to just take the money and leave, the Zhao Family is not short of money, it’s enough for her to live the rest of her life without worries. ”
“What’s the difference between that and selling children? I guess it’s a little sympathetic.” Yuyao rolled her eyes at her and closed the file.
“What do you think you can change? How certain are you to go to court with a gold medal lawyer from the Zhao Group? “This case can only be used for training.” After Shi Wei finished her sentence, she left.
Yuyao did not mind, she immediately took out her phone and called her client, Xu Jingyi. The two of them arranged to meet at a coffee shop on the Upper Island near the law firm.
Yuyao arrived a few minutes earlier than expected, but she did not expect that Xu Jingyi would arrive even earlier than she did.
Generally speaking, a woman of poor birth who has married into a rich family should be stunning.” Xu Jingyi, on the other hand, was the kind of person who lived in a comfortable home. She had an oval face and delicate facial features. When she smiled, two dimples would appear, making people feel very comfortable. Because she was pregnant, she was wearing a maternity dress, but it didn’t look too corpulent at all.
“Sorry for the long wait. I am your attorney, Lu Yuyao. ” Yuyao shook her hand politely, then sat down in the seat opposite of Xu Jingyi.
“I came early.” Xu Jingyi laughed lightly, she lowered her head and looked at her stomach, then said, “My body is not convenient, I can’t sit in the car, so I just arrived a few minutes earlier.”
“The two of them did not spend too much time exchanging pleasantries and directly got into the main topic.” “Miss Xu …”
“Just call me Jingyi.” Xu Jingyi smiled and instructed the waiter to bring Yuyao a cup of coffee. She kept a warm expression on her face and asked straightforwardly, “Lawyer Lu, I just want to know, what are my chances of winning this case?”
Yuyao thought for a moment, “To be honest, I can at most make it to the fifth floor.”
After Xu Jingyi heard this, her expression actually did not change. She only let out a slight bitter laugh, “Mn, it’s pretty much as I imagined. This case, I’m making things difficult for you. Actually, I know very well that I can’t compete against him. ” Halfway through her words, she paused, lowered her head, and gently caressed her belly with her palm, “But, I can’t just give my child up to you without doing anything. “I just, just won’t give up.”
Her delicate appearance caused the Yuyao to feel an indescribable pain in her heart. “Jingyi, I will do my best.”
“Thank you, Lawyer Lu. It’s just that I don’t have much money. I didn’t take any money from him when we divorced.” Xu Jingyi’s voice was very low, her hands nervously folded in front of him.
“It doesn’t matter. I will help you. It’s just that I may not get what I want in the end. I hope you are mentally prepared.” Yuyao’s expression was also grave, because she was really not very confident.
After she finished speaking, she took out her recording pen and notebook, and said to Xu Jingyi: “Right now, I need you to tell me everything about you and Mr. Zhao, and not miss a single detail. This is because any small detail can potentially become our key to winning the case.”
“Alright.” Xu Jingyi nodded and slowly started to recall her memories.
In fact, Xu Jingyi’s story was a classic story of Cinderella meeting Prince Bai Ma, and it was once a good story. But in the end, it was still proof that Cinderella’s story could only be a fairy tale.
Xu Jingyi got to know Zhao Dongcheng at a business celebration at the Zhao Clan Company. He was the CEO of the company, a proper lady to her company. Zhao Jingyi gave flowers to Zhao Dongcheng when she went up the stage, causing him to fall in love with her at first sight. Later on, according to Zhao Dongcheng’s words, it felt like ten thousand years had passed in a single look.
Afterwards, he crazily pursued, gave her flowers, gifts and commute to work. Xu Jingyi had gently rejected his passion and also struggled with it. After all, the difference between their statuses were too great. The true way to accept Zhao Dongcheng was when she was sick. Although it was a minor operation on his appendicitis, being alone in a foreign land meant that he was extremely vulnerable. Zhao Dongcheng’s meticulous care had finally moved Xu Jingyi’s heart.
In Xu Jingyi’s words, it was a wind-like day, cozy and happy. After marriage, Zhao Dongcheng had been as good to her as ever, and he had been as meticulous to him as ever. At that time, she would often say to him: You support the family, and I support you.
This seemingly perfect love, the real cracks that appeared was when Zhao Dongcheng changed the pill and tricked her into getting pregnant.
The two of them had agreed before their marriage that they wouldn’t have children for five years. Zhao Dongcheng was busy with work, and Xu Jingyi, on the other hand, was in her early twenties. Towards this child who suddenly came, Xu Jingyi was at a loss on what to do, and also resented her husband’s deceit. After the two of them quarreled for a bit, she angrily took the child away. This also completely infuriated Zhao Dongcheng.
would wash her face with tears every night. In the end, Xu Jingyi was the first to show goodwill, apologize to Zhao Dongcheng and tell him that she wanted to be the prettiest mother in the world. Thus, the two of them were able to reconcile as before.
However, when he really wanted to have a child, he couldn’t. Those days, for Xu Jingyi, were undoubtedly an ordeal. Eating nutritious food everyday, which could be considered the ovulation period, was her only job. Her mind had always been in an extremely tense state. Not only that, she gradually realised even though Zhao Dongcheng had returned to her side, she had left early and returned late, the woman’s sensitivity allowed her to sense that something was wrong. One day, when her husband had left home, she stealthily followed behind him and found him in a small district, supporting a woman with a big belly as he walked.
Xu Jingyi said: When you truly love a person, your eyes will not be able to hold a single grain of sand. Knowing that her husband was pregnant, she didn’t say anything. She didn’t even question him. She simply packed her luggage, leaving behind a divorce agreement before leaving.
Zhao Dongcheng did not ask them to stay either. He signed the divorce agreement and the two of them went through the necessary procedures.
On the way out of the Civil Service, he told her that he didn’t really love the woman, only that once, in the cold war, he had drunk too much wine and had sex with her, and then the woman had gotten pregnant and he had lost a child, so he didn’t want to lose it. Divorce was the only choice.
Xu Jingyi smiled gently. She did not need to know the story of him and the others, because to her, they were already strangers.
She thought that the story would end like this, but she didn’t expect that the heavens would joke with her for such a long time. After leaving Zhao Dongcheng’s side, she discovered that she was pregnant.
After hearing Xu Jingyi’s story, Yuyao didn’t know how to evaluate it. She thought that it was enough for them to have love together, but it turned out that managing a marriage wasn’t as easy as she thought. She could not judge who was right and who was wrong. Both of them had a certain amount of responsibility for the breakdown of this marriage.
“Why did you take the child away? I can see that you’re not someone who doesn’t want her child because of a fit of anger. ” Yuyao pointed out vital points as blood spurted out.
Xu Jingyi was silent, her expression was a little bitter, “This should have nothing to do with the case, can I not answer?”
“Since you don’t want to say it, I won’t force you.” The Yuyao considerately did not continue asking, “As soon as possible, ask your ex-husband to meet you. It would be best if you can reconcile this matter.”
“Yes.” Xu Jingyi nodded, took out her phone and dialed a number.
Just that, Yuyao did not expect to be able to get involved with Ji Rufeng just by taking on a case.
