Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 180 - 175: Mom on the Offensive

"The court has reviewed and deemed that the case is clear in fact and ample in evidence after investigation and court debate.

During the existence of their marriage, Ye Qiu and Kong Lizhi had marital discord, with Kong Lizhi being unfaithful to the marriage and transferring marital property and forging debts during the time the marriage was intact.

The court holds that the defendant Kong Lizhi, with the purpose of illegal possession and with a significant amount involved, his actions constitute the Crime of Fraud; the defendant using the marital property to support a mistress and fathering an illegitimate child outside, his actions constitute the Crime of Bigamy. Plaintiff Ye Qiu’s allegations against the defendant Kong Lizhi for the two crimes are established.

According to the criminal facts, nature of crime, circumstances of Kong Lizhi and the extent of harm done to the plaintiff, based on Articles 21, 54, and 64 of the ’Marriage Law of the People’s Republic of China’, the verdict is as follows:

One, grant the plaintiff Ye Qiu’s request to dissolve the marriage with the defendant Kong Lizhi.

Two, award the custody of the child born during the marriage, Kong Wen Yin, to the plaintiff Ye Qiu, and the defendant Kong Lizhi shall pay alimony of eight hundred yuan on time monthly.

Three, the defendant Kong Lizhi shall bear all debts owed by himself, and must reclaim all property gifted to his mistress and illegitimate child.

Four, the defendant Kong Lizhi shall leave empty-handed.

If there is any objection to the judgment of this court, an appeal may be filed with **** People’s Court directly or through this court within ten days starting from the second day after receiving this judgment."

On the day of the judgment, the Kong Family was shocked.

"Your Honor, how can you make such a verdict? You must have been deceived by that wretched woman. How can my son leave empty-handed?" Granny Kong refused to accept the court’s decision and started to protest on the spot, "All the money in the family was earned by my son, what does it have to do with that woman Ye Qiu? Your verdict is simply unfair!"

"Old Lady, if you have any objections, you may appeal. This is a courthouse, and you are not allowed to shout," stated the bailiff sternly, maintaining order in the court.

However, Granny Kong, accustomed to being overbearing, was not about to listen and tried to confront the judge on the spot. As a consequence, she was forcibly removed from the court and was still cursing as she was escorted out.

"Thank you, Lawyer Zhao," Ye Qiu said with genuine gratitude.

Lawyer Zhao nodded with a hint of reservation: "I think there will be a second trial, but it shouldn’t be a big problem."

"Then I’ll have to trouble you at that time. After I get all the property, I will go to the law firm to settle all accounts."

"If Miss Ye doesn’t mind, I have connections that could speed up the property settlement process."

"Then I’ll have to ask for your help, Lawyer Zhao." The two exchanged smiles and reached a friendly agreement.

When Ye Qiu came out, the Kong Family was waiting for her outside the courthouse, all with malicious expressions on their faces.

"Ye Qiu, you barren wench, I’m telling you, withdraw the lawsuit right now, or I won’t be courteous to you," Granny Kong was furious upon seeing Ye Qiu and lunged to grab her hair.

Although there were no bailiffs at the gate, there were still two security guards. Having seen such scenes frequently, they quickly went up to stop the people.

"Ye Qiu, you reject nobody wants, deserve to be dumped, pah, cheap sl*t, hooking up with men everywhere. Tell me, is this man by your side another one you’ve seduced?"

Lawyer Zhao looked at the Kong Family with contempt and threatened, "Old Lady, do you not know that you can be sued for slandering me like this?"

Granny Kong had just been frightened by the judge and the bailiffs; her son had been ordered to leave with nothing just for keeping a mistress. She wondered, if she were sued for slander, would she end up in jail? Granny Kong’s eyes flickered, and she lost her nerve.

"Ye Qiu, I can’t believe you’d investigate and sue me without considering our many years of marriage. I really misjudged you," Kong Lizhi said, his face full of disgust.

Ye Qiu gestured for her friends to take her daughter to the car first and looked at him sarcastically: "And did you consider our years of feelings when you kept a mistress and transferred assets?"

Kong Lizhi’s face turned red, and he stubbornly said, "I just wanted to have a son. With only me as a male in the Kong Family, do you want to see our family name die out?"

"Oh, as if there’s a throne in the house that must be passed on to a son. The Great Qing Dynasty is long gone; which era are you living in?" Ye Qiu looked at him disdainfully. "Besides, your illegitimate son is only half a year younger than our daughter. Did you know it was going to be a girl before she was born? Just be honest about your affair, stop making excuses."

"You..." Kong Lizhi was speechless and argued stubbornly, "When I wanted to have a second child, why didn’t you agree?"

Ye Qiu was almost amused by anger, "With the character you and your mother have, you expect me to bear a second child? If you know what’s good for you, you’d better go back and get ready now, so you won’t need the bank and the court to take forceful measures tomorrow when they clear out your assets with your lover."

Kong Lizhi’s face was ashen as he looked at Ye Qiu: "Are you really so heartless? Don’t you love me anymore? Withdraw the lawsuit, let’s not divorce, I guarantee I’ll be good to you and our daughter in the future."

"Are you kidding me, Kong Lizhi? With all the property now in my hands, why wouldn’t I want to be free and divorce? Do you really think I still value you, a scumbag?" Ye Qiu refused to waste any more words and strode away.

"Sister-in-law, can’t you leave some face for me? I’ve always been on your side," Kong Zhenzhen rushed up to Ye Qiu, not wanting her lavish lifestyle to slip away, and said with a sad face.

Ye Qiu stopped, looking at her with a half-smile: "You’ve always been on the side of money, not mine. After all, you’ve known about your brother’s mistress and illegitimate child for a while. If you really sided with me, you should’ve told me earlier."

"Ye Qiu, you wh*re, who should be hit and killed when you step outside, come back and return my son’s money!" Granny Kong continued to curse from behind, fortunate to be stopped by the guards, or she would have certainly started a fight.

As Ye Qiu’s car drove away, Granny Kong remembered all that money and property and felt heartbroken, collapsing on the ground, crying out loud: "It’s so unfair, why does God bully an old woman like me? Why should a woman who can’t bear a son take away my son’s money? If this were in ancient times, she would’ve been divorced."

The two security guards looked at the old lady speechlessly; still insisting on having a son in the new century? What kind of antique is this?

"Sir, please take your mother and leave promptly. This is a courthouse, where such disturbance is not allowed," said the security guard, whose tone involuntarily grew firmer, as he had inferred a family drama from the exchange, considering none of them decent folks.

Today, Kong Lizhi had lost all his dignity and even his customary filial piety towards Granny Kong had diminished.
