The man had gone astray in this relationship. It was enough that he was leaving the marriage without giving up any marital assets. Now, he wanted to take advantage of his wife to strike a fortune and buy a house to welcome his mistress? There was no free lunch in the world. The lawyer from the man's side was being overly idealistic.
"Xu Shengnan, how can you be so ruthless? Are you really trying to drive us to our deaths? If my mom had not paid for part of the down payment, do you think you would have been able to buy the house? Now, you're trying to take the majority of the shares of the house. Do you even have a heart?" Fang Shiyou was on the verge of exploding. There was finally a solution that he was barely willing to accept, but it was immediately struck down by Xu Shengnan.
Fang Shiyou had always thought that he would have the house to himself if they were to divorce and that Xu Shengnan would have nothing to do with it. They had to remember who paid the down payment. His family had contributed the greatest amount of money. Besides, Xu Shengnan's name was not even on the property records.
"Even if you could afford the down payment, without my constant contributions to the mortgage, the house would already have been repossessed by the bank over a hundred times with that meager salary of yours, Fang Shiyou!" Xu Shengnan was not going to back down."Now, I'm giving you two options. Either you give me four million yuan, or I give you 2. 7 million yuan and we get an amicable divorce. If you're not willing to pick any of these options, that's fine too. We'll go to court and see what the court says!"
If they really went to court, she would make sure that Fang Shiyou would not even able to get 2. 7 million yuan.
"I'm sorry. My client is a little upset. But I can completely understand why my client feels this way. After all, she has made so many sacrifices for her family but was still betrayed in the end. We'll take our leave first. As for the house, please advise your client well." Once Xu Shengnan stood up, her lawyer naturally followed suit, with a wide smile on his face. f𝔯𝚎e𝘸𝘦𝚋𝗻oѵ𝐞Ɩ - 🅽🅽novel
How he wished he could take on more cases like this one, where it could be easily settled and he could get paid quickly.
Once Xu Shengnan left, Fang Shiyou grabbed onto his lawyer's hand."Lawyer, you have to help me. You have to help me. Whether or not my family breaks apart will all depend on you!"
The lawyer withdrew his hand as his temples throbbed. He really wanted to scream at Fang Shiyou. It was because of Fang Shiyou that his family was in this situation. It had nothing to do with the lawyer at all.
But the lawyer had to be rational, so he forced out a stiff smile."Don't get so agitated. Being emotional won't solve the problem. You told me in the beginning that you wanted a divorce because you two no longer had feelings for each other. But now that I've completely understood the situation, I'm very sorry to tell you that you can only solve the problem according to the proposal from the other party's lawyer. If you're unwilling to settle this amicably and want to go to court, the result will not only not change, but you might lose out even more by doing so."
No matter whether he was planning on continuing with the case, there was no one who was willing to help Fang Shiyou for free.
In this case, Fang Shiyou could either take the 2. 7 million yuan or pay four million yuan instead. Otherwise, if he were really to go to court, Fang Shiyou would either not end up with 2. 7 million yuan or have to pay more than four million yuan.
Thinking about Fang Shiyou's concern about money as well as that mistress' face, the lawyer laughed. Four million yuan? His client was not one who would have four million yuan. He might not even be able to borrow four million yuan.
When Qiao Nan heard about Xu Shengnan's situation, her expression darkened."Senior Xu, it's coming. You're already getting divorced. Why are you letting Fang Shiyou off so easily and let him have your money to live a good life with his mistress?"
Xu Shengnan was momentarily stunned before she furiously shook her head."No, I'm not. How can I possibly let that guy lead a comfortable life? I wish he could soak in ice-cold water every day and hang above a furnace! Don't worry. He won't be able to hand over four million yuan."
As long as Fang Shiyou could not hand over four million yuan, she would find a way to borrow 2. 7 million yuan to hand over to Fang Shiyou. Then, that house worth more than ten million yuan would naturally become hers and her daughter, Ling Ling's.
Qiao Nan rubbed her temples."Senior Xu, have you forgotten about the existence of loan sharks? Now that you're pressing him, and seeing as to how Fang Shiyou is so unwilling to let go of the house, he'll find a way to get those four million yuan to pay you and get the house in his hands. When that time comes and once you've gotten a divorce, do you think you'll have a say in whether Fang Shiyou sells the house? If Fang Shiyou sells the house and repays the loan sharks, he'll probably still have ten million yuan left. With ten million yuan, Fang Shiyou will lead a better life than if he accepts his lawyer's third solution!"
Without a house and with only 2. 7 million yuan, Qiao Nan was very sure that Fang Shiyou's mistress would definitely break off with Fang Shiyou, and Fang Shiyou would definitely not be able to maintain his lifestyle.
On the other hand, if the 2. 7 million yuan turned into ten million yuan, that mistress would stick close to Fang Shiyou and declare her loyalty to him. Then, whether the couple would live lovingly until their deaths or separate in a few years' time, they would still lead comfortable lives in their first few years together.
In this case, Xu Shengnan had wasted all her time and effort in hiring a lawyer and a private investigator.
"Tell your lawyer now and get him to reiterate your stand toward the Fang family. Tell him that you've changed your mind. It's good enough that you're not letting him get divorced and leave with nothing on the account of all those years you two spent together. As for how the house should be split, it will be according to the amount of money you guys contributed. If Fang Shiyou gives you enough money, the house will be his. Otherwise, you will pay Fang Shiyou and the house will be yours. If Fang Shiyou chooses neither of these two options and decides to go straight to court, then we'll let the court decide. If that doesn't work, see if the court can auction off the house and then distribute the proceeds."
"Will... will that work?" Xu Shengnan did not know much about the law, and it was her first time getting a divorce. She did not know that there were so many workings of the law.
"How would I know? But based on how shameless the Fang family is, they will definitely not implement whatever the court rules. But in front of the law, everyone is equal. As long as they don't act in accordance with the court's rulings, and after the court gives them a couple of reminders, it won't be impossible for the house to be auctioned off." At least on Qiao Nan's side, she could give Xu Shengnan some power.
Even if Qiao Nan could not change the refusal into an acceptance, she still had the ability to force the implementation of the acceptance to speed up.
Then, even if the Fang family was not agreeable, the matter would still be solved.
In short, they could not let that scoundrel Fang Shiyou and his mistress gain an advantage from this situation.
Now that Qiao Nan had said that, the initially hesitant Xu Shengnan strengthened her resolve.
