Chapter 23 - Split Equally

Chapter 23 Split Equally

Very soon, the short video of Fang Xin and Qin Jianmin arguing at the entrance of the courthouse spread on the Internet. In this era of free media, their identities were soon doxed.

Especially Fang Xin, a talented and good-looking miss from a wealthy family. She married a poor village boy for love and helped him build a large family business. Then, she was replaced by a mistress, and even beaten up by her husband. This image of a tragic beauty made many netizens feel sorry for her. Especially after Qin Jianmin’s macho assertion that “Women are born to serve others’; it caused a bloody storm on the Internet.

The Xi Qin Group, which is owned by the Qin family, started off with female skincare products. Most of the company’s users were female but the CEO was actually a scumbag who discriminated against women. This made many female netizens indignant, and they all went on to the official Weibo of the Xi Qin Group to denounce Qin Jianmin.

Qin Jianmin hurriedly got people to remove the trending searches on the Internet. However, no matter how much money he spent, the popularity of these searches did not diminish. Instead, they got more intense and generated all kinds of conspiracy theories.

Just as Qin Jianmin was in a terrible situation, Mr. Luo’s firm, on behalf of Fang Xin, posted the progress of the divorce lawsuit between Fang Xin and Qin Jianmin on the official Weibo of the law firm, including relevant evidence that Fang Xin had gathered. All of it was posted on the Internet.

With this move, the very small portion of netizens who had supported Qin Jianmin also defected. They all took Fang Xin’s side, supporting her in using the law to protect her own rights and interests.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and the company’s stock price was plummeting, Qin Jianmin finally couldn’t bear the pressure and personally called Fang Xin to ask for a meeting to discuss possible settlement.

Zhongdao Coffee Shop.

“Miss Fang, the surroundings have been checked. There are no reporters or cameras.” The Gu family’s bodyguards reported to Fang Xin after checking the coffee shop carefully inside and out.

“Thank you. Thank you for your hard work.” Fang Xin gestured for the bodyguards to leave.

Only she and Qin Jianmin were left in the private room. The latter glared at her unhappily, “Fang Xin, we have been spouses after all. Is there a need to do this? You’re guarding me like I’m a thief.”

Fang Xin sipped her coffee slowly and sneered, “Qin Jianmin, didn’t I learn all this from you? If I wasn’t careful, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even know when you’ve sold me

out!”

Qin Jianmin was too lazy to argue with her; he wanted to settle this once and for all. “If this continued, it won’t be good for everyone! You just want a divorce. I agree. As for the division of property, we’ll split it equally. This is very fair.”

Fang Xin sneered, “Qin Jianmin, I want to remind you that whether you agree or not, our marriage is over. As for the division of property, there’s nothing to discuss. What I mentioned in the lawsuit document is what I deserve, not a penny more from the Qin family!”

“Fang Xin, don’t go too far!”

Qin Jianmin banged the table. “I’ve already agreed to split the assets equally with you. What more do you want? Do you really think that you can win the lawsuit just by getting some ignorant netizens to attack me?” “Fang Xin, this is a society ruled by law. Everything is governed by the law, not by the netizens! So what if I cheated on you? That’s because you didn’t bear any children! Besides, the law doesn’t stipulate that the cheater has to leave the family with nothing! Don’t think that you will win for sure!”
