Chapter 177: Chapter 177: He’s Great at Fighting Divorce Cases

Ji Ze felt that the waves of regret were about to engulf him.

He sneaked a glance at Lu Xining’s face, and her bright apricot eyes seemed deep in thought, not looking at him.

After hearing the woman’s murmurs of resentment towards marriage, Ji Muye was reminded of the increasingly silent Lu Xining of the past.

Their experiences were similar, but one calmly rescued herself, while the other sank into the abyss.

Lu Xining’s mind was also stunned by the woman’s words.

She looked at another person driven mad by marriage and sighed silently.

Had she not succeeded in rescuing herself, and had Ji Muye been unwilling to divorce readily, would she have ended up like this?

Just then, she noticed Ji Chao and Ji Ze stealthily watching her, and her fingers, previously clenched in her palm, relaxed.

Lu Xining smiled at them, her tone as gentle as ever, “Why are you both looking at Mommy like that?”

She opened her arms, “Come here, let Mommy give you a hug.”

With their sensitive and tense hearts soothed by her smile, Ji Chao and Ji Ze obediently walked up to her.

Lu Xining embraced her two sons, kissing each on the cheek, comforting them, “What’s past is past.”

Shen Jibai, who was brought back by the police, was stupefied upon hearing his own mother’s words, not remembering any of his harmful utterances to her, let alone the hurt he had caused.

He hadn’t expected his mother to treat him this way just because he was the first to hurl insults, leaving Shen Jibai lost and clueless, staring at the woman and calling out “Mom.”

“Don’t call me Mom; I don’t have a son like you.”

“If I could, I would rather you had never been born. You are just a debt collector sent by the heavens, just like your filthy and despicable father, with the blood of infidelity flowing in your veins.”

“Shen Jibai, do you believe that when you grow up, you’ll be just as disgusting as your father?”

To Shen Jibai, his mother’s furious words were like a curse.

He firmly said, “Mom, I won’t be!”

The woman merely looked at him and smiled, her gaze filled with disgust and loathing as she looked at his face, resembling his father’s.

She raised her head to prevent tears from falling but still tasted bitterness, regretting her past pursuit of a scoundrel’s love.

Shen Jibai’s father arrived in haste a long while after.

Hearing from the police about the woman’s long-term abuse of her son and seeing his son’s regretful, tearful face, then meeting the woman’s sarcastic smile without a trace of expression, he called out to her in disbelief, using her nickname.

“Xiao Zhi…”

She looked at the lipstick on his collar and chuckled at herself.

“Shen Yuqing, let’s divorce.”

Shen Jibai was taken away by his grandmother and father, crying as he looked back at the woman’s silhouette, but she never turned around once.

Ji Muye made appropriate compensation to Shen Jibai, and when he wanted to take his sons back to the Ji Family, Ji Chao and Ji Ze were reluctant.

It was Lu Xining who calmed them down.

“Tomorrow’s Monday, and you have school. Mommy has just landed a big project and will be quite busy. How about going back with Daddy?”

Ji Ze wanted to say something to Lu Xining but dared not speak.

Ji Chao, however, nodded, “Mommy, my brother and I will be good. Remember to come to see us after you finish your work.”

Lu Xining responded with a smile, “Okay.”

Little Dumpling, tired from playing, lay sleeping on Jing Zheng’s shoulder.

She asked Jing Zheng to take the child to the car first, while she went to meet Shen Jibai’s mother—Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi frowned, “What are you doing here again, to scoff at me?”

Lu Xining handed her a business card, stating calmly, “This is my lawyer’s business card; his name is Yu You.”

“He is very good at divorce cases.”

“Even the Shi’an Group’s legal team can’t beat him.”

Xu Zhi pursed her lips, looking at the person in front of her, puzzled, as she had only just said that she wouldn’t give Shen Jibai’s mother a single penny for compensation.

“Think I’m being contradictory?” Lu Xining smiled and admitted that she had indeed been a bit one-sided earlier.

“Xu Zhi, I’ve heard of you; before you became Shen Yuqing’s wife, you were a very talented architect.”

“I just acquired a new land that needs designing. In consideration of our acquaintance, could you give me a discount on the design fee?”

They had been adversaries just moments ago, but now they sat together calmly and chatted, a scene that felt quite strange.

Xu Zhi cried, sobbed loudly.

She seemed to want to cry out all the grievances of more than a decade.

Xu Zhi’s parents were also highly educated intellectuals; they cut off relations with her because she insisted on marrying Shen Yuqing.

A year ago, they passed away in an accident.

But she, as their daughter, had devoted her entire attention to her cheating husband and only found out about their burial after the fact.

From that day on, her mental state became somewhat abnormal.

“Xu Zhi, regret is futile now that you’ve decided to separate, you should make sure to get the compensation you deserve.”

“Although refusing any money may seem noble, life is long, there are many things that will require money, and even if you don’t take it, he will spend it on other women.”

“So, make sure you don’t get shortchanged out of what is yours.”

Before leaving,

Lu Xining wrote down a psychologist’s phone number for her.

She was silently reminding Xu Zhi: she was sick.

Xu Zhi asked her, “Have you also suffered from depression?”

Lu Xining responded indifferently.

“Xu Zhi, life is really long, we are still young.”

“Then I’ll give you at most a 99% discount.”

“…”

Thanks to the forgiveness of Shen Yuqing and his son Shen Jibai, Xu Zhi didn’t stay inside for too long; when she was released, she used the 15% of the future divorce proceeds as payment to hire Yu You to fight her divorce case.

She voluntarily gave up the custody of Shen Jibai, but the case was still not going smoothly because Shen Yuqing did not want to divorce.

Listening to the man claiming he was just playing around outside to relieve some work stress and had no intention of letting those women step into his home, Xu Zhi felt even more disgusted by him.

She sent all the evidence she had collected over the years to the lawyer, and it turned out that Shen Yuqing had affairs with nineteen women in total.

But in the end, Xu Zhi still managed to get a divorce.

Perhaps it was because of her sudden letting go, Shen Yuqing began to show signs of enlightenment; she got more family wealth than originally planned and the next day she canceled all her contact information and went abroad.

Lu Xining looked at the message Xu Zhi had sent, her eyes calm.

“Lu Xining, the lawyer you recommended was good, now I’m also a billionaire. I’m going out to clear my head, I’ll earn your money when I come back.”

Life is, indeed, marvelous.

The first couple times Xu Zhi saw Lu Xining, she was full of sarcasm. Now, unexpectedly, the two of them seemed to have developed a sense of empathy for each other.

The “Artificial Uterus” project was in the early stages, and although there had been a series of preparatory works, it had not yet officially started.

There were too many eyes in Jingzhou.

Aside from those blocked by Xi Juan, there were others trying to get a piece of the project through various means.

If the project was moved to the ZN Laboratory headquarters, she might have to deal with certain powers in Country C.

Therefore, she thought of establishing a large laboratory in the country, on one hand to introduce foreign advanced equipment and technology, and on the other hand to focus more on the research.

The newly acquired land parcel of the Redwood Resort was very suitable.

These days, she had contacted the team from the current temporary laboratory, asking if they were willing to follow her to develop in Fuxian.

Lu Xining knew how hard the path of scientific research was; she offered to provide them with accommodation in Jingzhou city center, solve their children’s education problems, and ensure a stable life for their families.

In short,

she offered everyone a generous remuneration.

These researchers’ past meager incomes could hardly support a family, but with Lu Xining’s assurance, they were willing to follow her to Fuxian and signed the related confidentiality contracts.

The day after signing the contracts,

Lu Xining arranged for people to take them house hunting.

The core team was already established.

Jing Zheng, who knew that Lu Xining and Lu Nuonuo would be spending most of their time in the country from now on, also had someone pack his bags and move over.

The Jingzhou Temporary Laboratory was gradually wrapping up.

During that busy time for Lu Xining, she received a long-lost phone call.
