Lawyer 0055

  7:30 pm, a certain cafe in Dong District, Beijing.

  Lin Qiang dressed in formal attire, followed Luo Yang into the private room.

  "You are still you, nothing has changed." In the VIP room, a short-haired woman in black trendy attire glanced at her watch, "Not one second early, not one second late."

  This woman's age should be similar to Xia Xian's, but she looks obviously older and more ruthless. Her skin care is not as good as Xia Xian's, with some fine dry lines and wrinkles on her face that cannot be covered by makeup. If you had to say, it's probably a feeling somewhere in between Xia Xian and Rosa.

  She looked up at Lin Qiang and smiled lightly: "Your lawyer is quite young."

  "Hmm." Luo Yang's face was gloomy and he didn't say much, sitting at the table, stretching out his right hand to call the waiter to order a drink.

  "Let's talk about this first." The woman pressed down on Luo Yangsheng's right hand.

  Luoyang furrowed his brow and let out a sigh: "Let's just hear what the lawyer has to say, I don't want to talk about it anymore."

  "Hmph, it's always like this, you never want to say more." The woman patted the lawyer beside her and nodded.

  "Cough... then I'll be straightforward." The lawyer, with half white hair, looked more steady and obviously had a lot of experience in this area. He pushed out a document, crossed his palms, placed it on the table in front of him, and faced Lin Qiang, saying, "This is the relevant material for my client Fang Wen's divorce lawsuit. The couple has been separated for two years due to emotional breakdown, meeting the conditions for divorce."

  "Ah..." Lin Qiang somewhat awkwardly took over the materials, pretending to look at them, and muttered, "Hmm, very formal, you guys are well-prepared."

  "It's not that he wasn't prepared, these are all facts." The lawyer said with a shrug, "Because Mr. Luo devoted all his energy to work, spending less than 10 hours at home per week, it has seriously affected the marital relationship. My client and Mr. Luo have been unable to communicate effectively, so she had no choice but to move out in protest. However, Mr. Luo showed no intention of changing, never making any adjustments. Now that they've been separated for over two years and their emotions are completely broken, with such sufficient facts, the court will certainly grant a divorce."

  He said, and raised his glasses: "Even so, my client still has good intentions, and does not want to take this matter to court in a possible situation, giving Mr. Luo an opportunity for reconciliation and negotiating a divorce agreement."

  "Hmm." Lin Qiang glanced at the materials casually and pushed them away, "According to what your materials say, things do seem to be that way."

  "What is it like?"

  "It's just... the way it looks." Lin Qiang's expression changed, "Let's put aside the law for now. This divorce case, from start to finish, all the actions that destroyed the marriage were done by you, weren't they?"

  "What are you talking about?!" Fang Wen said in great anger, "Are you saying that this divorce is my fault?"

  "Otherwise?" Lin Qiang spread his arms and frowned, "A husband works so hard to start a business, as a wife, shouldn't you understand? My client has no extramarital affairs, just a good man who works hard with all his might. Is your ultimate goal to separate from him unilaterally and divide the property after two years?"

  "You... you!" Fang Wen glared at Lin Qiang, then pointed tremblingly at Luo Yangsheng, already furious beyond control. "It's him! He didn't cherish our feelings and disregarded the family, leading to this outcome. Don't get things backwards, spouting nonsense."

  "Oh? I don't feel like Luo Yang doesn't cherish this relationship at all?" Lin Qiang had expected her to say that and quickly retorted, "Husband and wife sitting down, it's easy to talk, but you didn't even give people a chance, directly moving out and separating, Miss Fang, no, Mrs. Fang, isn't the one who doesn't cherish emotions you?"

  Fang Wen was already furious and wanted to pick up her drink and throw it over.

  "Please calm down..." Fang Wen's lawyer hastily intervened.

  At the same time, Luo Yang blocked Lin Qiang with one arm and shook his head with a bitter expression.

  The lawyer raised his head and looked at Lin Qiang: "You must have no experience in divorce lawsuits."

  "What did you say?"

  "When mediating between the two parties, as a lawyer, you should control the emotions of both sides. Instead, you're pouring your heart out and insulting my client, hurting the feelings of both parties." The lawyer stared at Lin Qiang and said slowly, "You're not even a real lawyer, are you?"

  "Good eyesight." Lin Qiang responded in one breath, his body slightly leaning forward, smiling at the two of them, "You two understand, Luo Yangsheng treasures this relationship so much, he can't even convince himself to hire a lawyer to negotiate, he doesn't want this marriage to end at all."

  Fang Wen's expression changed slightly, her hand holding the cup gradually loosened, and she was speechless for a moment.

  "Hmph, facts are paramount, don't spout nonsense. The opposing lawyer had already packed up his materials and glared at Luo Yangsheng with annoyance, "Mr. Luo, we came here today out of respect for you. Since you've casually brought an unprofessional person to negotiate, let's end it here for now, we'll see each other again."

  "Wait...this isn't mine..." Luo Yang's expression was twisted in distress.

  "That's right, this isn't what my client wants!" Lin Qiang pressed down on the opposing lawyer with his left hand and slapped the table with his right, shouting, "Matters between husband and wife should be discussed between them, and only when all else fails should lawyers be brought in! My client thinks that their relationship hasn't reached a point of no return yet. Do you understand? It's better to destroy ten temples than to ruin one marriage. Are all divorce lawyers like you now, hoping for people to get divorced?! Honestly speaking, is it just about getting more legal fees by stirring up trouble in court?"

  "What... what are you doing?" The opposing lawyer was also stunned by Lin's unreasonable roar, looking terrified and unsure of how to respond. As a lawyer, he was used to dealing with reasonable people, but this one was completely irrational and started scolding him out of the blue.

  "Haha......" Fang Wen suddenly laughed, looking at Luo Yangsheng and said, "It seems that you didn't bring a lawyer, but a debater? How could you forget that we were both in the debate club back in school?"

  "......" Luo Yangsheng sighed and said, "How can we possibly forget, but we are a team, forever united against outsiders, let's not be enemies."

  "So you've called someone who can talk and reason to accompany me in debate?"

  Luo Yang nodded silently and then nodded his head slightly.

  "Ah... I'm getting old..." Fang Wen rubbed the corners of her eyes, "I don't have the energy to argue anymore. Let's just lay out the core issues directly, to be honest, those empty words that only scratch the surface in a legal sense, I'm too lazy to listen."

  "......" Luoyang's body trembled slightly, and after a long time, he finally spoke up, "Wenwen, must... we get a divorce?"

  "Uh-huh." Fang Wen didn't hesitate at all. "I'm going to immigrate to the United States, I can't take it here anymore."

  "Wait for me for a few more years, and we can go together."

  "Haha, a few years, a few years, how many 'few years' have I waited for?! Fang Wen laughed in despair, "When we graduated, I said I wanted to stay, you said you wanted to go back. I couldn't persuade you, so I came back with you. You said wait a few years, and once the company is on the right track, we'll immigrate officially. This one wait has turned into 10 years! Ah, how many '10 years' does life have?"

  "Right away... everything will be back on track, I'll find a suitable manager to share my workload."

  "You've said that many times, Luo Yangsheng. You don't understand yourself, but I do." Fang Wen crossed her legs and lazily fiddled with her fingers. "You love it here, you love this land. Whether it's a grilled steak or French cuisine, you can't enjoy them unless you find a small, dirty shop in Jijing Hutong to have a bowl of braised pork for comfort. You may travel abroad or work there, but you'll never consider it home."

  Luo Yangsheng slowly nodded his head.

  "But I'm different, I have to go out, I don't want to come back. Because of this, we haven't had children all these years, my child must be born in America! Fang Wen became excited, "Luo Yangsheng, what can you bring to the family besides money?!"

  Lin Qiang was already furious, and all he wanted to do was scold this woman, "What more do you want from men?!" However, considering Luo Yangsheng's emotions, it wasn't convenient for him to scold her directly. Feeling stifled, Lin Qiang could only use his last "money eye" of the day on her.

  Fang Wen: Current assets 200,000.

  Husband's career is on the rise, with a long-term bullish outlook.

  Work is stable, and short-term holdings remain unchanged.

  Total Assets: ……

  Wealth: Marriage, Luoyang Sheng.

  Kidnapping: Marriage, Lin Qiang.

  Kidnapping: Infidelity, ???.

  Lin Qiang's heart sank and he couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, "Unintentionally, I've become someone else's jinx again."

  Wait... two calamity points?

  Infidelity?

  Lin Qiang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his eyes narrowing into a line.

  On the table, Fang Wei was still tearfully telling her American dream.

  Both Lin Qiang and his wife had been through a lot of money, but Luo Yangsheng's fatal point was that he had no extramarital affairs at all.

  Fang Wen, is the reason for divorce just because of inharmonious relationship and her American Dream?

  At this time, looking at Luo Yangsheng again, he was already clenching his fists tightly, lowering his head to look at the table, with a sourness in his eyes.

  "Wenwen... wait a bit longer... let me think about immigration again... we can have kids in the US..."

  "Hehe... come on, we're almost 40 years old, aren't we? What's the point of talking about kids?"

  "Wenwen, it's all my fault." Luo Yangsheng bowed his head, his voice choked with sobs. "Soon, soon, just give me a little more time."

  "That's enough!" Fang Wen swung her head and patted her lawyer again, "I don't want to say more, you speak up, about the division of property."

  Luoyang leaned back in his chair, rubbing his eyes, exhausted. In the business world, he might have had eagle-like eyes and courage, but facing what was in front of him, he was just a heartbroken husband.

  "Cough... Mr. Luo." The lawyer had to adjust his collar again before continuing, "My client has been deeply hurt and is now unable to speak, regarding the division of property..."

  "As for the property, I'll discuss it with you." Lin Qiang cut to the chase and directly asked Luo Yangsheng, who nodded dejectedly beside him. He turned to look at the lawyer, "My client has been hurt even more deeply and can't speak up, Lawyer, please don't play any more trivial word games."
