Chapter 1541: Turning Mute

He wanted their child, so he did not feel that he had done anything wrong by taking more. But if they were really to fight over it, he would naturally have to depend on his lawyer to help him gain a higher ground.

Upon hearing this, the man’s lawyer felt that a private settlement would be best. If it really went to court, this case would not be easy to win, but it would not be difficult either. Who would gain more marital assets would really depend on who gained custody of their child.

But the lawyer had never expected that his client had lied to him. Not only had his client been the one to commit wrongdoings in the marriage, but his wife had also gotten ahold of solid evidence against him. There was no way for him to refute it.

It was just his bad fortune to meet such an uncooperative client!

“We’re in the same line of work. You should understand that with the evidence that my client has secured, your client doesn’t stand to benefit from it if we are to go to court. Even if your client feels no responsibility to his family and marriage and chooses to abandon it until the very end by committing such an immoral act, my client doesn’t have high expectations because he is the biological father of her child after all. After the divorce, my client will have custody of their daughter. Of course, your client will still have to pay alimony. Each of them will pay for half of whatever living expenses and tuition fees their daughter incurs. Whether it is paid in a lump sum or on a regular basis can be further discussed.”

Seeing that his opponent was already in a state of loss, Xu Shengnan’s lawyer was even more so calm and collected. “As for the marital assets...”

Xu Shengnan’s lawyer smiled and produced two pay stubs. “This is my client’s income over the past twelve months. This is your client’s. As you know, having an affair as a married man costs quite a bit of money. Your client pays for the rent of the house this lady in the photo lives in. The rent is not cheap. It’s something along the lines of 800 yuan a month. Now that the lady is pregnant, she needs more nourishment as well. After all, she’s eating for two. So with all due respect, I’d propose to you that your client doesn’t even have enough to spend. He’s probably even asking for money from my client.”

To take money from his wife to support his mistress? Was there any other man who was more shameless than this?

The man’s lawyer turned pale. Ever since he became a lawyer, he had never felt so awkward and in a dilemma. Just a casual remark from the other party’s lawyer rendered him speechless. But most importantly, when faced with such a bizarre situation, he actually did not want to even rebuke him.

“Other than this, let’s talk about the issue of the house.”

Fang Shiyou, Xu Shengnan’s man, immediately spoke up. “House? What house? That house is mine. It has nothing to do with Xu Shengnan. I can’t believe that I’ve never noticed how scheming Xu Shengnan is. She’s probably had her eyes on me for a long time. It’s really not easy for you to hold back your temper and finally erupt only today. But don’t you think you should live with dignity, Xu Shengnan? Don’t you remember how we got that house? My parents toiled their whole lives to be able to afford that small house. Don’t be so shameless. Otherwise, how would Ling Ling see you as her mother in the future?”

The house was the most valuable. Besides, it belonged to their family. Xu Shengnan could dream on about even having that house.

Xu Shengnan laughed coldly. “I agree wholeheartedly about not being shameful, so I’ll say it back to you. Even up until now, I’ve never said a bad thing about you in front of Ling Ling, so I hope that you can do some self-reflection and stop doing embarrassing things. I don’t deny that your parents paid for the down-payment of that house, but what about the mortgage? I think I paid for the entirety of it. You didn’t even contribute a single cent.”

“That’s right. These repayment slips can confirm that apart from the twenty percent down-payment, my client took care of the remaining seventy-four percent of the mortgage. Now, only six percent of it is still unpaid.”

“...” The woman had obviously come prepared. This piece of evidence delivered a huge blow to Fang Shiyou’s lawyer, so much so that he could not even speak.

Fang Shiyou was infuriated. “Are you a mute? Say something! Don’t forget that I gave you money and hired you! Rebut them! Xu Shengnan, this house is my mom’s and mine. Don’t even think about having it!” Talking about the house, Fang Shiyou could no longer sit still. He was in a panic, as though he had sat down on a nail. “Xu Shengnan, why don’t you just agree to divorce now? If you want our daughter, fine! You can have her. We can split her expenses fifty-fifty between us!”

But that was all!

Just thinking about how much he had spent on Fang Ling Ling in the past few years pained Fang Shiyou. He had not understood for a long time. Wasn’t she just a girl? It was not bad that she was already going to school. Why did she have to go for enrichment classes and throw money away like this? When his daughter grew up, she would eventually get married. Then, she would be part of someone else’s family.

It was just like Xu Shengnan’s case. No matter how capable she was, she had become part of his family after marrying him. All of her money had gone to paying for their house.

So obviously, daughters were useless and a waste of money.

“I want to leave happily too, but I hope you can just let it go. I just have one request. Return what is mine. I promise that I’ll not touch a single cent that is not mine.” She was not even expecting Fang Shiyou to give her anything. But looking at the current situation, she realized that it would be difficult for her to even get back what belonged to her.

“What do you mean by returning what belongs to you? Haven’t you left everything that belongs to you back at your parents’ home? That house is mine, and everything in it is mine as well. They have nothing to do with you. Don’t be so shameless.” The only reason why that woman was willing to be with Fang Shiyou and even got pregnant with Fang Shiyou’s baby was because of Fang Shiyou’s house.

That woman was not from the capital and knew that Fang Shiyou did not earn much. But he had a big house in the capital. As long as she married Fang Shiyou and changed her address to his house, both she and her child would be registered in the capital.

“So what? Do you want to explain to your client what belongs to my client in that house?” Xu Shengnan’s lawyer laughed and did not even bother wasting his breath on Fang Shiyou. Instead, he turned to Fang Shiyou’s lawyer.
