Chapter 141: Chapter 141: What Special Identity Does Your Ex-Husband Have?

Seeing his daughter was about to throw another little tantrum,

Jiang Liu played his trump card, feigning regret. "Sigh. I was planning to buy you an ice cream bar tomorrow, but since we’re not on good terms anymore, I guess I’ll just forget about it."

Ice cream?

WOW!

Tongtong’s fierce demeanor vanished instantly. She blinked.

"Daddy, I don’t think I’m mad at you anymore."

Jiang Liu: "Heh heh."

’This daughter of mine is full of tricks!’

Jun Qingmeng checked the time. It was getting late. She stood up and said, "Tongtong, your teacher is going to head back now. You two should get to bed early."

Tongtong, reluctant to see her go, gently took Jun Qingmeng’s hand.

Looking utterly pathetic, she said, "Teacher Qingmeng, let’s watch the bears a little longer. Tongtong will miss you."

Jun Qingmeng stroked Tongtong’s head. "Your daddy has to work tomorrow, and he’s very tired. Besides, won’t we see each other again tomorrow morning? Be a good girl now, okay?"

"Didn’t we agree that we have to be good to your daddy? Did you forget?"

Tongtong nodded and made an OK sign with her hand.

"Roger that!"

’She can be tired, but Daddy can’t be.’

’The little cutie would feel bad for him.’

"Jiang Liu, I’m off! Remember to think of me tonight."

"I won’t. Don’t just play on your phone when you get home. Go to sleep early. Look, you already have dark circles under your eyes."

The corners of Jun Qingmeng’s mouth turned up. "Are you concerned about me?"

Jiang Liu stated frankly, "Don’t get the wrong idea. This is just concern between friends."

"Alright then."

Jun Qingmeng walked to the door and said, "Jiang Liu, actually... from the very first time I saw you, it felt like flowers were blooming in my heart. Every day you’re in it, my world is filled with fragrance."

"I’m leaving now. Remember to think about being my boyfriend tonight, okay?"

With that, Jun Qingmeng closed the door and left.

Jiang Liu helplessly rubbed his forehead.

"Daddy, just say yes to Teacher Qingmeng. Tongtong wants a mommy."

"We’ll see. Come on, let’s go take a bath first."

"Okay! Tongtong will scrub Daddy’s back, hehe."

’As long as she had her daddy, she would be happy, so very happy.’

’Daddy is her whole world, the little sun in Tongtong’s heart.’

Meanwhile, Yang Yixue hesitantly accepted the request. After listening to the recording, her expression slowly darkened.

’She really had done such a thing.’

"That damn Jiang Liu, and that bullshit lawyer!"

Unable to sit still, she took out her phone and dialed Lawyer Chen.

Of course, Yang Yixue also knew a lawyer.

The call connected quickly.

Chen Shumei sounded puzzled. "Chairman Yang? Is something wrong, calling so late??"

Yang Yixue yelled in a panic:

"Sister Chen, my ex-husband found some quack lawyer, and they’re ganging up on me! They want to revoke my visitation rights! You have to help me think of something!"

Chen Shumei replied calmly, "Chairman Yang, please give me a general overview of the situation. I’ll analyze it for you."

Yang Yixue told Chen Shumei everything from the beginning, including what Wang Cheng had said to her.

Chen Shumei also listened to the recording Yang Yixue sent her.

Her brows knitted together. "Chairman Yang, where did your ex-husband find this lawyer? I get the feeling he has a great deal of professional skill and experience."

She sounded troubled.

Yang Yixue was displeased. "What’s there to be afraid of? He’s just some no-name lawyer who popped out of nowhere. My ex-husband is a pauper. His family has no money. He’s only just recently earned a pittance. What kind of powerful lawyer could he possibly know?"

Chen Shumei said, "It’s not that I’m afraid. Within the industry, my skills are considered top-tier in all of South City. It’s just that in this matter, we don’t have the advantage. It will be difficult to win this case in court."

Yang Yixue: "I’ll pay you triple!"

"Well..." Chen Shumei feigned hesitation for a moment before agreeing. "Alright then, Chairman Yang. I’ll give it a try. I’ll put all my effort into handling this for you."

"By the way, do you know the opposing lawyer’s name? Judging by his line of questioning, he doesn’t sound like a nobody. I might even know him."

Yang Yixue was scornful. ’As if a lawyer Jiang Liu found could possibly be famous!’

But she answered truthfully. "The name he used when he added me on WeChat was... uh... I think it was Wang Cheng."

Chen Shumei: ???...

"Sister Chen? What’s wrong? Why aren’t you saying anything? You don’t know him?"

Chen Shumei took a deep breath, her expression grave. "Let me ask you something. Did he say he was from Zhengtai Law Firm?"

Yang Yixue was surprised. "Huh? Sister Chen, you really do know a lot of people. Yes, that’s what he said. Since you know him, can you get him to team up with us against Jiang Liu?"

At the thought, Yang Yixue grew excited.

’If the lawyer by Jiang Liu’s side was her person, could she perhaps trick Jiang Liu into transferring the operating rights of his shop to her?’

Chen Shumei: "..."

’She really wanted to slap Yang Yixue across the face. Can’t you use your brain?’

Chen Shumei asked, "Ms... Ms. Yang, I want to confirm again. Lawyer Wang proactively called you to discuss your ex-husband’s case, added you on WeChat, and sent you a recording of his chat with your daughter?"

"Yes, that’s right. What’s wrong, is there a problem?"

"A huge problem!!"

Chen Shumei said with conviction.

"Ms. Yang, I suggest you try to negotiate with the other party. Don’t go to court."

"What do you mean? You said you know him, so what’s there to be afraid of?" Yang Yixue was getting angry.

Even now, she still believed the other party was just an ordinary lawyer, while the Chen Shumei she knew was an experienced heavyweight in the legal industry.

Preoccupied with the issue of her visitation rights, Yang Yixue didn’t even notice the subtle change in how the lawyer was addressing her.

Chen Shumei sighed. "Ms. Yang, let me be honest with you. Against Wang Cheng, we don’t have a single shred of a chance of winning. Do you have any idea who he is?"

Yang Yixue finally realized the gravity of the situation, and her heart skipped a beat. "What? Who is he?"

Chen Shumei’s tone was extremely serious:

"Wang Cheng is a partner at South City’s Zhengtai Law Firm. Let me put it this way for you—don’t be fooled by my high skill level. What you don’t know is that I’m not even a match for an ordinary lawyer from Zhengtai! And Wang Cheng? He’s not just a partner at Zhengtai; he’s a famous lawyer known throughout the entire Hua Country."

"A case he’s personally overseeing is a case the entire Zhengtai Law Firm is overseeing. Tell me, on what grounds do you think we can possibly fight this?"

"To put it bluntly, you may not be afraid of being sent to jail, but I am!"

Chen Shumei’s voice was agitated.

’She had almost offended Zhengtai because of this woman. Did she not want to work in this industry anymore?’

Yang Yixue was utterly dumbfounded as she listened.

’The lawyer Jiang Liu hired... was such a big shot?’

’What was going on?!’

Although she had no idea what Zhengtai was, she understood when Lawyer Chen said her own skill level was only equivalent to that of a grunt at the firm.

Yang Yixue was scared silly, momentarily forgetting to reply.

Chen Shumei calmed herself down and asked, perplexed, "Your ex-husband doesn’t have some special background, does he? How else could he hire a figure of this caliber, and have him personally oversee the case with such dedication?"

"It’s just unbelievable."

Wang Cheng could be considered a senior she deeply respected.

When she had just started taking cases, Wang Cheng was already an extremely influential figure in South City.

From that time on, Wang Cheng had rarely lost a case he took on. His logic was too powerful, his handling of matters too thorough!

Yang Yixue answered dazedly, "He just sells steamed buns. What kind of background could he possibly have?"
