The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

From the cell phone came the very polite voice of Chen Yu, the lawyer.

“Good evening, Mrs. Ye.”

He Xiyan held her fingers tightly with insoluble worries between her eyebrows.

“Well, here is the thing, lawyer Chen. Are you sure that the court will award the child’s custody to me? Is it possible that Mo family would be awarded it?”

The moment He Xiyan opened her mouth, she spoke out the most worrying problem in her heart. Wu Xiaomin texted to tell her that Mo Yixuan and Li Qin had decorated the children’s room, as if they were sure to win the custody of Yuanyuan.

At one end of the phone, Chen Yu pursed her lips, a touch of elusive complexity quickly flashing through her eyes. After a while, he answered confidently, “Rest assured, Mrs. Ye, the possibility that the child’s custody will be given to you and Mr. Ye is eighty percent.”

He Xiyan’s heart tightened and her eyes were suddenly opened wide.

“Only eighty percent?”

Why was it only eighty percent, not one hundred percent? However, the lawyer told herself that she would definitely win the lawsuit before.

Chen Yu thought for a while, suddenly took off her cell phone and gave a light sigh. Then she answered, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Ye, no one can one hundred percent win any case.”

Although they could have won this case, yet some intervention of human factors together with some other factors, the possibility of defeat was also very high.

“What shall we do then?” On the phone, He Xiyan was still very anxious. With no power, she had no personal connections except for her husband. Worse still, she had no family or relatives to give her a hand.

Chen Yu thought for a while, but did not know how to answer. At this time, his another cell phone rang, so he could only said apologetically, “Mrs. Ye, I’ll call you back later, OK? Our leader gives me a call. I’ll answer it first.” Saying so, he hung up the phone.

Chen Yu picked up another cell phone, from which a man’s deep and firm voice soon came.

“Old Chen, as for Mrs. Ye and Mo family’s lawsuit over the child’s custody, put it aside first and let the judge decide.” The man said, as if suggesting something.

Chen Yu asked, “What’s wrong?”

The man paused and said helplessly, “Well, Old Chen, here is the thing. Today I got news that the judge and jury in charge of this case were invited by the old Mr. Ye and his wife to a private villa for dinner. Ye Hao was also present. So you should know the final result of this lawsuit. Stop fighting a hopeless battle.”

After that, the man hung up the phone, only leaving lawyer Chen letting out a sigh helplessly. He could even imagine how sad and depressed Mrs. Ye would be in the end.

In the castle, He Xiyan had been pacing the floor in the room for a long time, waiting for lawyer Chen to call her back. However, waiting for quite a while though, she did not get a call from him. Helpless, she could only dial the number again by herself, but she only heard the sound of systematic prompt, “The number you dialed is busy.”

What was the matter?

He Xiyan threw away her cell phone, walking to the window and pushing open the closed window.

At this time, it was still raining lightly. Worsened by a freezing westerly wind, it now turned extremely cold. After a while, her face turned totally freezing cold as if cut by a knife, and her nose were frozen red.

She, however, stood by the window looking out at the dim street lights as if she could not feel the coldness. She grasped the edge of the window tightly, anxiety in her heart making her quite uneasy.

She didn’t know how long it had passed. Even when she couldn’t lift her eyelids, she still did not receive a call.
