Chapter 1693. There’s nothing I wouldn’t dare to do
He gently rubbed the top of her head and said:
"The pharmaceutical researcher we’ve invited is also a world-class scientist. Although it might take longer than with Gu Junhao, at least we can guarantee it’s safe."
Qiaoxu nodded seriously in his arms, "I got it."
----------------- I am a separator -------------------
Qiaoxu had given up on the idea of trading with Gu Junhao but didn’t hide it from Xia Yumo.
That day, she went to Xia Yumo’s law firm to find her, and as soon as she got to her floor, she heard a commotion inside.
"I came to you because I believed you could win this lawsuit. Now you’re giving me this result. If I had known this, why would I have found a cripple to fight the lawsuit?"
When Qiaoxu arrived at Xia Yumo’s office door, she heard these sharp and harsh words, and her face immediately turned cold.
Without hesitation, she pushed the door and went in.
A middle-aged woman dressed in a noble aura, with a harsh look, sat on the chair opposite to Xia Yumo. Her jadeite-ring-decorated finger tapped on the desk, making a thumping sound.
Xia Yumo had gotten used to being called a cripple by now, so she didn’t get angry at this moment, but her smile was gone from her face.
Seeing Qiaoxu come in, she signaled her to sit down first, then turned her gaze to the woman and said:
"Mrs. Chen, in this marriage, you are the party at fault. Mr. Chen has conclusive evidence in his hands. Originally, he could have made you leave with nothing, but I helped you get 30% of the property, which is quite benevolent and righteous on Mr. Chen’s part. If you continue making a scene here, I will have the security guard escort you out."
Mrs. Chen, not afraid of her, relied on her wealth and acted rather arrogantly in front of Xia Yumo.
"Are you trying to scare me? Three-tenths? Is that enough to stuff between my teeth? Chen Cong’s family business was built by both of us. Now we’re getting a divorce, and I want half of his property. Why? That’s our marital property!"
"Mrs. Chen, don’t take an inch and ask for a mile!"
Xia Yumo’s face turned cold, "If you still think that three-tenths of the property is not enough, I’m sorry, I won’t take your case, you can find someone else."
The attorney fees Mrs. Chen gave were quite a lot, and it was considered high in the entire legal industry.
She had only come to Xia Yumo because she had heard from a friend that the chief attorney at this law firm was an expert in handling divorce cases, and she was willing to spend a lot of money to find her.
Actually, three-tenths was more than what she had originally estimated, but people are always greedy.
When she couldn’t get it, she thought one-tenth was enough, but when she got three-tenths, she felt that Xia Yumo was not doing her best. If she put in a little more effort, she could get half of the property.
She thought that because the attorney fees she paid were high enough, Xia Yumo would not want to give up such a large sum of attorney fees and would try her best to help her fight for more.
Even if she couldn’t get 50%, four-tenths would be better.
But who knew this lawyer would be so bold? She hadn’t even said that she would change lawyers, and Xia Yumo actually said she wouldn’t take her case?
If she didn’t take her case and Chen Cong changed his mind, she might not even be able to get one-tenth of the property.
"You... you dare not take my case?"
"Why wouldn’t I dare?"
Xia Yumo raised her eyebrows and asked her, "Mrs. Chen, people should know their limits. You understand the saying that being too greedy leads to disaster, right? Don’t end up losing everything."
As she said that, she picked up the phone next to her and dialed it, "Lawyer Liang, I’m not taking Mrs. Chen’s case anymore. You can let Mr. Chen handle it himself."
