A law firm.
"Attorney Lee, is there any progress on the case of Xiao Yan and I getting divorced?"
Qiao Mo specifically went to the law firm to ask Attorney Lee.
Attorney Lee frowned, at a loss of what to do, and let out a long sigh: "Mrs. Xiao, if possible, I hope you can give up on this divorce lawsuit. After all, in our line of work, we urge him not to leave. And, judging from the current progress of the case, you don't have much chance of winning. It is very likely that you and Mr. Xiao will still be married at the end after causing such a ruckus throughout the city. After all … Mr. Xiao is not an ordinary person, he's a public figure. "
Regarding Attorney Lee's sudden change in words, Qiao Mo was neither suspicious nor confused: "Attorney Lee, did you think that the fee I gave you was not high enough, or do you think that by helping me win the case, Xiao Yan and I would be asking for too little, so even if you take the litigation fee, it would be too low?"
Attorney Lee who was seen through felt a little awkward, "Mrs. Xiao, since you understand this logic, then …"
"Thank you, Attorney Lee."
Qiao Mo stood up and without saying a word, she turned to leave.
The Attorney Lee kindly reminded: "Mrs. Xiao, although I am not too clear about the reason behind your painstaking and deliberate divorce with Mr. Xiao, let me still remind you that sometimes, truth and stubbornness do not prevail. The right to rule over truth and fairness in this society is still in the hands of a few. For example … Someone like Mr. Xiao, who stood at the top of the pyramid. "
Qiao Mo did not turn back. She only lifted her lips slightly and smiled faintly.
"Thank you, Attorney Lee, for your reminder. I will consider it carefully."
… ….
After that, Qiao Mo ordered a few other law firms to stop her from going out for all sorts of reasons after seeing her divorce case.
As the sun set in the west, the afterglow of the setting sun caused Qiao Mo's figure to lengthen.
As she walked along the lonely street, it was as if she was a person without a home.
Could it be that all of the lawyers in the Sea City had been bribed by Xiao Yan and no one was willing to fight for her?
… ….
A blue Porsche that was not far from Qiao Mo, slowly followed him while it was not far from him.
The man in the driver's seat took off his sunglasses, parked his car at the side, and started moving his long legs. After getting off the car, he looked at Qiao Mo in front of him and shouted to her.
"Hey!"
Qiao Mo was startled, and turned around with a frown on her forehead.
Under the warm yellow sunset, Rong Chengmo, dressed in casual clothes, gave her a gentle and scholarly smile.
"Does Miss think that when the sun sets in the west, the Intestine Breaker will be at the ends of the world?"
After a seemingly playful teasing, Qiao Mo's heavy heart, however, inexplicably relaxed quite a bit.
She also stood still, letting out a gentle and beautiful laugh. "That's right!"
When people are at their lowest point, even if a stranger gives you a gentle smile, you will be grateful to the point of tears.
Qiao Mo was no exception.
She clearly knew that there was some unbreakable knot in her heart between Rong Chengmo and his, and even betrayal and hatred. But Rong Chengmo had helped her time and time again, so even with such a small matter, it was impossible for her to not recognize him as his friend.
"That night, my appearance... it didn't cause any misunderstandings between you and Xiao Yan, did it? "
Rong Chengmo asked tentatively.
Qiao Mo was stunned for half a second before recalling the "that night" he had mentioned.
He smiled calmly and shook his head lightly, looking a little helpless. "If he wants to misunderstand, regardless of whether you are here or not, he would … Sooner or later, there will be a misunderstanding. "
The main reason for the collapse of trust between husband and wife was because of each other. How could they … Blame it on an outsider.
Rong Chengmo tactfully did not continue with the topic, and looked at the document in her hand, then looked at the surroundings, "What, are you looking for a lawyer?"
"Yes," Qiao Mo shrugged. "But it seems … No lawyer wants to take over my case. "
Rong Chengmo took the documents from her hands, looked at it, and laughed: "In this case, even if you run over ten more law firms, no lawyer would dare to take it."
Qiao Mo frowned, "Xiao Yan's influence … Is it really that big? "
Rong Chengmo nodded, "No one can stop a person like Ah Yan from wanting to do something. When he wants to pamper you, even the moon in the sky will pick it off for you. If you disobey him, then you have to be careful. He may not let you off so easily. "
Qiao Mo stared at Rong Chengmo for a second before laughing out loud, "Mr. Rong, you seem to know Xiao Yan even better than I do."
As Rong Chengmo casually flipped through the documents, he replied. "Of course, ten years of being brothers with him wasn't in vain. When we were young, he and I were the big dean. "
"Is that so?"
Rong Chengmo looked up and smiled at Qiao Mo, "But you can be at ease, I can find a lawyer to help you file a lawsuit. But are you sure you want to divorce Ah Yan? "
Qiao Mo laughed helplessly. "From the very beginning, he and I shouldn't have been together. Now, it's time to separate."
After losing so much, she didn't dare to imagine what she would lose and what she would lose with him.
She was really scared. Even if she lost everything, she was still scared. What would she lose?
The reason why he was afraid of losing her was because there was still love.
Qiao Mo was clearer than anyone else on this point.
… ….
New Garden.
On the huge dining table, there was a table full of dishes, but only Xiao Yan was there eating.
He picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. It was as if he had lost all interest in eating. He put the chopsticks down again and stared at the dishes on the table, lost in thought.
In his mind, he couldn't help but recall that night in the car.
Qiao Mo wrapped herself around him, crying until her eyes turned red. Her arms wrapped around his neck to tell him that she liked him, and had liked him since a very, very long time ago.
"Sir...?"
Seeing that Xiao Yan did not touch the chopsticks, Aunt Lan thought that the food was not to his liking.
"Sir, are the dishes today not to your liking?"
Xiao Yan frowned, his gaze was slightly startled, and after he came back to his senses, he praised Aunt Lan in a rare way: "No, the dishes are very good."
Aunt Lan was shocked.
It had to be known that for a picky person like Xiao Yan to praise him, it was even harder than ascending to the sky. He did not accuse her of being a bad cook.
"Then... Sir, do you have any appetite today? Or is there something wrong with it? "
Xiao Yan sighed, barely audible, and said lightly: "Not even."
However, she actually missed Qiao Mo a little.
Seeing that today's Mister had such a good temper, Aunt Lan carefully probed: "Then … Did you miss your wife? "Since you miss your wife, please coax her back."
Xiao Yan lifted her long finger and pressed it against his brow, her thin lips finally spitting out a word of rejection: "No."
They weren't thinking about Qiao Mo.
It must be an illusion.
… ….
Xiao Yan didn't even eat twice as he got up and went upstairs.
In the bedroom, the wall in the middle of the bed was empty.
There were usually wedding photos between newlyweds.
But the funny thing was, they had been married for a year and he had been so stingy with his wedding photos that he hadn't even taken them with her.
Now, she definitely hated him so much, hated him for making her lose her child, hated him for saving Song Xiazhi first in the kidnapping case, hated how little he had given her.
Just as he was lost in thought, his phone rang.
"Hello, what's the matter?"
The caller was Zhao Qian, "Boss, Madam just faxed a court action sheet to the company."
Xiao Yan hung up the phone, and did not say a word.
Ah, now that she has grown up, even if she were to inform the entire bar to not help her, would she be able to find a lawyer?
When had she, Qiao Mo, become so capable?
Xiao Yan was such a shrewd person, how could he not guess who it was that helped her in the dark?
All the guilt he felt vanished like smoke in thin air.
Qiao Mo, ah, now she had openly and openly gotten involved with Rong Chengmo?
Even if he did not want to take Xiao Yan's things, he would not let anyone else touch them.
Possession, or destruction.
The man put his hand on the handshake and expressionlessly dialed a familiar number.
"I will not miss this lawsuit. But you'd better be prepared. Don't let yourself. "He lost too miserably …"
… ….
Qiao Mo never thought that Xiao Yan would take the initiative and accept this lawsuit. She thought that he would continue to ignore it.
Seated beside her, Rong Chengmo saw that she was staring absent-mindedly at the phone screen, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Xiao Yan is making things difficult for you again? "
Qiao Mo shook her head, bit her lips and said: "No, he just said that he will be participating in this lawsuit. I just. I never thought that he would agree so readily. "
Rong Chengmo took a sip of the cocktail, and reminded his with a smile: "Then you must be careful, because since Ah Yan is prepared to appear, he has the heart and determination to win this case. Qiao Mo, you know, sometimes merchants don't care how dirty the process is. What we care about is only the result. "
Qiao Mo nodded, "Thank you for reminding me so much, I will be careful. And... Thank you, Mr. Rong, for introducing me to a lawyer. "
"A small matter. In general, if one party brought a divorce suit and the other party disagreed with the suit, the court would have a higher probability of annulling the case. But... There must be some sort of evidence in Ah Yan's possession right now, if not, he would not have spoken so confidently. "
"But I do have proof that the marriage has broken down. I think that Song Xiazhi wants me to divorce him more than anyone else, so whether it is a witness or material evidence, this marriage is set to end."
Rong Chengmo laughed. If it was that simple, then things would be much easier. What was scary was that Xiao Yan did not follow common sense.
… ….
A week later, the court began its hearing.
Rong Chengmo, Song Xiazhi, Su Painting had arrived at the court early, but they had not seen the litigant and the person in question.
One hour after the trial ended, Xiao Yan and Qiao Mo still had not arrived.
The judge passed down the sentence.
[The plaintiff did not appear before the court for no reason. The defendant has failed to appear in court without a valid reason and has been sentenced in absentia.]
… ….
On the way to the court, Qiao Mo was suddenly intercepted and kidnapped.
And the one who kidnapped her was none other than Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Yan, what are you trying to do? It's court time now, and by doing this, you're kidnapping! I can sue you! "
The man's long fingers gripped her chin and he sneered: "Prosecute? I'm afraid you won't have this chance after today. "
The smile on his handsome face was especially gloomy and cold.
Qiao Mo couldn't figure out his temper, and could only feel the cold seeping through his pores.
"What exactly are you planning to do?"
She clenched her fists tightly as she glared at this damnable man.
Xiao Yan's thin lips curled up as he sneered: "If Mrs. Xiao is deemed to have mental illness, then I think, who would believe you? The words of a madman were always so … "How laughable."
Qiao Mo was trembling from head to toe, she was cold to the point where her teeth were chattering.
"You're crazy! Xiao Yan! "You are the madman!"
In the narrow carriage, Xiao Yan once again held her in his arms, his large hands comforting her trembling back. With a gentle tone, he said, "Be good, as long as you don't talk about divorce, I will still spoil you like before."
