Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Cen Zhu, that b*tch, actually hired Lin Sicheng as a lawyer. Does she think that she can make demands from the Lu family just because she hired a good lawyer? She even wants to split the couple’s common assets equally and take half of the Lu family’s assets. That’s simply a pipe dream.” Lin Sicheng was a famous gold-medal lawyer, he was also the Zhuang family’s private lawyer. Ji Qiuhua was surprised that he would suddenly help Cen Zhu in a lawsuit.
“If she wants to split it, so be it. The reason why the Lu family has come to this stage is because of the Cen Corporation.” Lu Hongyang looked at the torn divorce agreement on the ground with a complicated expression. Cen Zhu would take the initiative to divorce him. She had never been so heartless to him before.
“You’re crazy. The Lu family assets belong to us. What does it have to do with her? She even did not give us a child. After getting married, she didn’t even give you a child. What right does she have to take so much money from us?”
“Mom, Cen Zhu didn’t…” Lu Hongyang gritted his teeth. It was not that Cen Zhu didn’t give birth, it was that he had never touched her. How could she have a child when her husband had never doted on her?
Before Lu Hongyang could finish talking, Ji Qiuhua sighed, “I know that you pity the Cen family. You’re soft-hearted and want to give her a house. She’s not thinking that way. She wants half of the Lu family’s assets.” Ji Qiuhua stared at the shreds of paper on the ground. She was so angry that she wanted to halve the Lu family’s money. She would never agree to that.
“Sis, are you okay?” Cen Shuang looked at Cen Zhu with concern. She did not expect Lu Hongyang to have a lover outside of their marriage. Moreover, she was obviously pregnant. It had been a few months since Lu Hongyang had cheated.
Cen Zhu held the photo and looked up at Cen Shuang. Finally, her gaze landed on Lin Sicheng. “Mr. Lin, now that we have evidence of Lu Hongyang’s affair, will I be able to have half of the Lu family’s assets?”
This time, not only did she want her shares back, but she also wanted to take back what the Cen family had lost over the years. It would be best if Lu Hongyang went bankrupt.
“Although we have evidence of Mr. Lu’s infidelity, we have found that he has a debt of 200 million yuan. Even if we have evidence of him transferring the assets, I’m afraid that they will ask you to bear these debts.”
She did not know how much money the Lu family had, but she knew about the Lu family’s debts. Cen Zhu was in a daze for a moment before she realized that she had failed completely over the years. The Lu family had completely taken advantage of her. They had planned everything long ago, including what would happen if she wanted to divorce him. It was a pity that she had been living in such a stupor in the past. Later, when the Cen family was in trouble, she was not vigilant enough and allowed Lu Hongyang to transfer the assets.
“I know that the Cen family was in trouble back then. Mother-in-law asked me and Lu Hongyang to take out a loan. They said that they would give this money to the Cen family.” However, they had lied to her. The Cen family had not received this money at all, however, her signature was on it. She and Lu Hongyang went to the bank for that loan. She had no choice but to admit it.
Cen Shuang did not expect that these people had also schemed against Cen Zhu when the Cen family was in trouble.
“Is there no other way? We made them transfer so much property. It’s not just this debt of 200 million.”
Lin Sicheng thought for a while and said, “If that’s the case, then you won’t get much, Ms. Cen. In my opinion, we can discuss this with them.”
Since they had evidence of his infidelity, Cen Zhu could ask for a reasonable compensation. Cen Shuang looked at her, waiting for her decision.
Lan Yibai snorted and said, “The Lu family is nothing. How can they bully our family? Mr. Lin, you’re the number one lawyer in Lin City. I guess you’re not as powerful as people say you are. There’ll be no lawsuit against the Zhuang family. Have you become jaded after all these years?”
“Madam, what are you saying? Young madam’s family matters are the same as the Zhuang family’s. We must let young madam, Ms. Cen, fight for her pride in this lawsuit.”
Cen Shuang looked at her mother-in-law. “Mother…”
“Shuang Shuang, you have to remember that you’re the daughter-in-law of the Zhuang family. Even without Zhuang Hong, as long as our Zhuang family doesn’t fall, you’ll be the honorable young madam of the Zhuang family in Lin City. You don’t have to bow to anyone.”
Lan Yibai’s words were neither light nor heavy, but they moved Cen Shuang. Even when the Cen family was around, she had never lived so willfully. However, the Zhuang family had said that she could. The usually gentle Lan Yibai had now stood up for her in a domineering manner. Cen Shuang looked at her mother-in-law with an expression that was full of admiration as her eyes reddened. She was choked up when she said, “Mother, thank you.”
What the Zhuang family had given her was another kind of love that she had not enjoyed in her previous life. Before leaving the Zhuang family, she would take good care of Zhuang Hong. Cen Zhu had not expected that the Zhuang family would already help so much by finding Lin Sicheng for her. Now, Lan Yibai was going to use the Zhuang family’s power to support her and Cen Shuang?
If the Cen family’s legacy could really be revived, would Cen Shuang still be willing to leave the Zhuang family?
