My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 575 - 582 Divorce Litigation_1

When Lin Xiangwan walked downstairs, she saw Zhou Ziqing bustling around the kitchen and dining room, carrying over rice porridge one moment, pastries the next, looking extremely dutiful.

"Wanwan, you’re awake? Come and try the biscuits I made! When I was in the USA, I often made these for everyone, and they all said they were delicious," Zhou Ziqing called out warmly.

It was as if she had always lived here, and was part of this family.

Lin Xiangwan stood there, her face expressionless, fixing Zhou with a calculating look. "What are you doing here? At this time? Standing in this place? It’s outrageous, don’t you have any shame?"

Her tone was harsh, leaving no room for face-saving.

Zhou Ziqing puts on her usual act of a long-suffering damsel, trembling and stammering, "Wanwan, please don’t misunderstand. I was in danger last night, and Qin Muchuan kindly brought me back. Please, don’t think too much!"

"Do I overthink? Ha, with evidence placed right in front of me, why utter falsehoods? After all, I’ve long given up on a man like Qin Muchuan. If you wish to pick up my cast-offs, I wouldn’t mind, it would save me the trouble of dealing with them!"

As Lin Xiangwan made this remark, Grandma Qin and Xu Feng’e appeared down the stairs.

Seeing her grandson being discarded, the old lady’s face immediately darkened.

Although she was also furious about bringing this woman surnamed Zhou into the house,

It could wait when compared to Wan’s disdain.

Xu Feng’e observed and exaggerated the situation. "Xiangwan, what do you mean by that? Muchuan simply allowed a friend to stay for the night. Our house has plenty of rooms. What’s the big deal? Why are you so extreme in your words? It’s as if you’re talking about Muchuan as if he’s garbage!"

Lin Xiangwan, hot with fury and thoroughly disillusioned with this family, saw no reason to hold back. "And, who are you again? What role do you play in this household? Muchuan has never acknowledged you, yet you call his name so intimately. Do you have the right to? Do you have the right to order me around, to lecture me at every turn?"

"You—" Xu Feng’e was speechless, her face flushed with anger. "Lin Xiangwan, how dare you speak to me like that? After all, I am Muchuan’s father’s wife!"

Lin Xiangwan scoffed, her gaze filled with disdain and hatred for Xu Feng’e. "Muchuan’s father’s wife, huh! So you admit you’re not Muchuan’s mother, right? What a roundabout way of saying it! Luckily, I’m quick-witted, otherwise I wouldn’t have understood. Since you’re not Muchuan’s mother, you have no right to scold me. Understand?"

"Lin Xiangwan, you’re being outright disrespectful. You have zero manners. No wonder you’re an orphan!" Xu Feng’e was so furious she was out of breath.

Lin Xiangwan gave a cold, harsh smile. "Even if I am an undisciplined, orphan, I am at least not like you. Taught by my parents to be so shameless that you break up other people’s families. You and your ilk have no sense of decency!" Xu Feng’e was even more embarrassed. "Lin Xiangwan, I demand an apology from you! After all, I am your mother-in-law!" "Laughing at your shamelessness makes you lose your breath. I won’t give you the chance to be a mother-in-law. Let her be your daughter-in-law instead! Both of you are made for each other, a couple made up of mistresses!" With a laugh, Lin Xiangwan glanced at Zhou Ziqing.

Zhou Ziqing still put on an innocent and pitiful front. "Wanwan, you’ve misunderstood!"

Lin Xiangwan looked at her dismissively, not considering her a threat. "Stop with these insincere words. No one would believe them anyway. Why deceive yourself?"

As Qin Muchuan approached from upstairs, he seemed to have had a heavy sleep due to his excessive drinking the previous night.

When he awoke, the house was already in chaos.

Especially his Wanwan. He had never seen her act so recklessly before.

He instantly felt a rift between them.

Looking at Zhou Ziqing, he was puzzled. "Ziqing, you’re making breakfast?!? You’re just a guest here, not a maid. Unless you aspire to be the maid here? If so, tell the butler, she can arrange an interview for you."

The reluctance in Qin Muchuan’s voice was evident. Zhou Ziqing was speechless and blushed awfully. "Muchuan..."

Qin Muchuan didn’t acknowledge her, turning instead to Lin Xiangwan.

She was already dressed and wearing light makeup, carrying a handbag, ready to leave. "Where are you going? Let me give you a lift!"

Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "No need, I am no longer your responsibility. You should take care of Miss Zhou instead."

With that, she put on her sunglasses and left the house.

Despite the morning sun which was typically gentle, today it was exceptionally harsh, stinging her eyes.

Lin Xiangwan drove aimlessly towards the city center.

It was not yet rush hour, but there were already many cars on the streets. She could not drive fast and her gaze wandered over the storefronts along the street.

Breakfast shops had already opened, with numerous vehicles parked in front and customers coming in and out.

Even the shift-changing pancake stall had a long queue.

Watching people bustling around made her desire for a purpose in life intensify.

She couldn’t continue like this, her life was a mess.

With a tumultuous family life and no career, she was almost thirty and what did she have to show for it?

It was laughable and tragic.

’Beep beep!’ A car honked from behind.

Lin Xiangwan glanced at the traffic light, which had turned green. Stepping on the accelerator, she moved forward again.

She passed the intersection, and arrived promptly at the Central Court by eight-thirty in the morning to file for divorce.

Getting a divorce was not easy; especially for the party initiating the divorce proceedings. All paperwork fees, even the postal fees had to be covered by her.

"Are you sure you want to get a divorce? Have you thought it through?" asked a court officer.

Lin Xiangwan nodded. "I can afford this amount. What I do not wish to waste is time."
