Hearing that, Sheng Lou curled his lips. “I don’t believe that we won’t be able to get a divorce if we don’t look for him!”

“It’ll be very troublesome. There’s no way to end this quickly,” Ah Hu said.

“But didn’t he say that he would be busy in the near future?!” Sheng Lou got angry just thinking about it. “As far as I know, he goes back to his grandparents’ house in Jia City almost every weekend. Other than accompanying that illegitimate daughter of his, he doesn’t do anything else. If he’s sincere, he can arrange a meeting immediately, but he insists on delaying it until next Thursday? This attitude clearly shows that he doesn’t want to take on the case.”

“No matter what his intentions are, our only choice of a divorce lawyer is Jin Hengyuan.” Ah Hu looked towards Su Mubai, who was deep in thought. “This person has a strong background and can solve some problems that we might not be able to solve.”

Sheng Lou thought about it carefully and remained silent in the end.

As for Su Mubai, he sat there without moving from start to finish.

He had a nagging feeling that Jin Hengyuan might have other reasons for rejecting the case…

On the other side, Jin Hengyuan was watching his wife drink her fruit juice. Of course, she could not possibly have heard who he was talking to on the phone. Otherwise, her expression would not be so calm either.

Regarding Su Mubai, Jin Hengyuan had never interacted with him before. The focus of his work revolved around these three areas: Shanghai, Tianjin, and Beijing. Su Mubai was based in City H, so they would not have met.

A few days ago, at a cocktail party, a mentor from his college days introduced him to Su Mubai.

Whilst chatting, this person revealed his intention to entrust him with a lawsuit.

At that time, Su Mubai had been in a hurry so he did not go into detail. Today, Jin Hengyuan finally realized that he was in a hurry to find him because he wanted a divorce.

Based on what he knew, Su Mubai and Qin Xueyu had a son and their relationship as husband and wife seemed to be pretty good all this while. Recently, the Su family hadn’t shown any signs of wanting a divorce. So why was this person secretly trying to hire an attorney?

What made Su Mubai think that it would be difficult to get a divorce, thereby causing him to invite Jin Hengyuan directly?

This matter was a little strange!

In the eyes of many, when in courtship, a boyfriend should pay for his girlfriend; after marriage, a husband should pay for his wife: how much a man spends on a woman will show how much he loves her.

Su Jin felt that this was ridiculous. Hence, when they were footing the bill, she called out to Jin Hengyuan. “We’ll each pay for our own expenses. In the future, I’ll split the costs of all the expenses incurred in our marriage with you equally.”

He was taken aback on the spot.

Su Jin smiled faintly and said, “Actually, we already went Dutch on our first meeting!”

That time, when she left, she had paid for her own coffee. She didn’t pay for his. He should know that.

“But I think that after marriage, it’s only right for a man to provide for a woman!”

Jin Hengyuan came back to his senses and slowly expressed his contrasting opinion.

“But I think that only when a woman achieves economic independence in her marriage will she have a say in the relationship. Relying on her husband to support her… Firstly, it’s easy to grow disconnected from society; secondly, she’ll be looked down upon.”
