Chapter 182: Chapter 182
Wang Keru and her daughter, Gu Anxi, walked ahead, with Bo Xichen accompanying them. Just then, another young man appeared, chatting and laughing with Gu Anxi; his identity was unknown. The Qin family watched on, unconcerned.
It was the Qin family patriarch who spoke first, "See that? Now that woman has the Bo Family backing her, she dares to turn against us! We absolutely cannot let her take a single cent from the Qin family. We need to take them down a peg. Si Lan, you must secure Lawyer Feng. Start the divorce proceedings as soon as we get back. I refuse to believe a mere woman can overturn the heavens!" He added shrewdly, "Qingcheng is our turf, after all."
Qin Siling reassured him, "I’ve contacted his personal assistant. The assistant said Lawyer Feng has gone to Qingcheng. Isn’t this a sign that Heaven is on our side? Once we’re in Qingcheng, I’ll definitely get in touch with Lawyer Feng. We absolutely cannot let the Qin family suffer this loss."
Only then did the Qin family patriarch feel somewhat relieved.
On the private jet, Bo Xichen sat with Gu Anxi, while Wang Keru sat with Feng Mian.
Feng Mian, ever the professional, took out his laptop and began discussing the divorce with Wang Keru.
Allow me to introduce Feng Mian: Beicheng’s most renowned divorce lawyer, specializing in helping original spouses bleed their ex-partners dry and taking a cut.
Wang Keru listened intently and then softly asked, "Lawyer Feng, are you confident?"
Feng Mian typed expertly on his keyboard and smiled. "Don’t worry, this case is quite straightforward. However, you must be mentally prepared. Because the Qin family has a legitimate heir, an equal division of assets is unlikely. But I’m confident I can secure a considerable sum for you."
Wang Keru nodded, her heart settling with reassurance.
In the row behind them, Gu Anxi leaned against her seat, her hand held by Bo Xichen. After a moment, he asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Gu Anxi turned her face away. "No, I’m not!"
He chuckled softly and murmured an apology, which only made Gu Anxi feel worse.
After a moment, he pressed, "Really that bad?"
He remembered... at that time... she had seemed quite alright, not... Thıs content belongs to 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
Gu Anxi wrapped her arms around his neck, buried her face in the crook of his neck, and murmured, "Uncle, don’t say any more."
Bo Xichen chuckled, his gaze as gentle as water.
This was good. At least she was no longer weighed down by seeing Tang Yuan and didn’t have time for sorrow.
But in truth... he was probably the happier one!
They continued their light conversation all the way, and soon enough, the plane landed at Qingcheng Airport.
As soon as Feng Mian disembarked, he switched on his phone and quickly received a call from his assistant. "Lawyer Feng, a Miss Qin has tried to schedule an appointment with you multiple times. She wants you to handle a divorce case. Will you see her?"
Feng Mian frowned. His gaze then fell upon the Qin family party at the opposite exit, and understanding dawned on him. He gave a faint smile. "Tell her I won’t be taking this case."
The assistant replied in her sweet voice, "Understood, Lawyer Feng."
Meanwhile, Qin Siling frowned and said to the Qin family patriarch, "That Lawyer Feng refuses to take our case."
The patriarch narrowed his eyes. "Offer him more money. Talk to him in person. I refuse to believe any lawyer isn’t greedy. These lawyers, especially divorce lawyers, are all like vampires."
Qin Siling agreed, "I’ll keep trying to contact him."
As they exited the airport, the Qin family failed to notice that Lawyer Feng, the very man they were seeking, was with Bo Xichen’s party. Moreover, they were oblivious to the fact that he had already devised one hundred shameless methods to deal with the Qin family while on the private jet! And so, the two groups walked right past each other, perfectly oblivious.
