001 A foreign daughter-in-law fell from the sky
Houston, Texas, USA, is no stranger to Chinese people. This is a famous space city, and it is also the place where Da Yao once struggled. As a member of the pseudo-fans, although Liu Heming doesn't know how to play basketball, he also knows a little about this side, not to mention that he carefully inquired with Du Niang before going abroad.
Now he sits in a fast-food restaurant on the side of the road and sipping authentic American coffee, but his mood is as gloomy as the drizzle outside.
People often say that life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, but for Liu Heming, there are too many unsatisfactory things, and the sudden arrival of a wishful thing makes him a little difficult to accept.
Things have to start from last year, that is, at the end of 2013, Liu Heming, who was counting the days in the unit and waiting for the annual leave to go home, received a news that made him "shake dung", his daughter-in-law was going to divorce him, and this daughter-in-law was still an American girl.
At that time, looking at the lawyer who came to the door, Liu Heming smiled slightly, and Nima was. After beating for so long, he even told me that he had a daughter-in-law.
He has always felt that he has dragged the country back, and his income level will never be able to keep up with the growth rate of housing prices. I've been working for a few years, not to mention that I haven't thought about marrying a daughter-in-law, but I can't afford to marry. The money you earn is not enough for other people's bride price, let alone buy a house of more than 20,000 square meters.
But when the lawyer took out a photo and an ID card with a slightly green face, he felt that this matter was really special and could be talked about.
The girl in the photo is not impressed, it is a bust. Blonde hair and blue eyes, fair skin, and deep-set eye sockets seem to suck your eyes in. Especially the blue eyes, even through the photos, seem to have magic.
And there is no need to doubt that ID card, the person on it is himself, but this ID card has been lost for many years, or lost in the United States.
At this time, the lawyer took out a bunch of copies, one of which turned out to be a marriage registration form. The Dexter signed on it was himself, and although it was a little crooked, his own words were still recognizable. At that time, I was a fan of "Bloodthirsty Judge", so I gave myself such an English name.
He had a big brain, and he suspected that this was a shocking deception, and it was his little person who was calculating, and maybe there was some earth-shattering conspiracy hidden in it.
But the lawyer's words prove that he really thinks too much, it should be a dick, and he can't become rich and handsome in an instant, he is still him, the Liu Heming who is nearly thirty years old and has nothing to achieve.
It can only be said that this daughter-in-law is a little confused and confused, even if it is said that it fell from the sky.
There will always be one or two lucky times in life, and he did it five years ago. Bought a lottery ticket and won tens of thousands of dollars, and he couldn't be happy. Coincidentally, my colleagues from the company were invited to sign up for a tour group in the United States, and I went out to open my eyes.
And now this foreign daughter-in-law named Sasha McGill, the girl in the photo, was married while playing in Las Vegas. The process, he has no memory for a long time, who knows how he married at that time, anyway, he was married.
The current situation is that people are going to remarry, so they have to divorce him first, and his ID card is the "love token" left for others when they got married. It was through this ID card that people found him.
This fast registration marriage is not recognized in China, where you must obtain a marriage certificate. But in the United States, that's legal. Therefore, the girl will not let him run in vain, and will give him a breakup fee of more than 200,000 US dollars.
For him, this is a huge amount of money, more than a million. After taking it back, the house will be settled, and maybe you can marry a real daughter-in-law.
So he took a long leave from the company, went through all the formalities with the assistance of a lawyer, and followed the family to Houston after the Spring Festival.
This matter is also a proud thing for him. But now he really can't be proud, and the more he thinks about it, the more wrong it becomes.
He has never been married, but he has seen people divorce on TV. Especially in the United States, it is often the lawyer who brings the divorce agreement, clicks, signs it, and then leaves. Do you need to fly to Huaxia to find yourself? Do you still need to find a "breakup fee" for yourself?
can only say that he was a financial mystery at that time, and he only saw this breakup fee, and he didn't think about anything else. Then last night was also jet lag, I couldn't sleep over and over, and the "conspiracy theory" in my heart rose again.
Isn't there someone who needs their own heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidney? This is an organization that buys and sells human organs? Even if he is done here, no one should care, right?
But another voice told him that this could not happen. This is not a movie, you can use it when you take it off, people have to match it, and it is impossible to complete your physical examination through your ID card.
But after overturning this idea, other ideas will come to him. I didn't sleep well at all, and I didn't have much energy, so I drank two cups of coffee for a while to refresh myself.
The bell rang on the door of the fast food restaurant, and the lawyer named Jack, who had come to China to look for him, walked in, and Liu Heming beckoned to him.
Don't look at Jack, he is also Chinese, but he studied well back then, studied abroad and obtained a lawyer's license here, so he stayed here to work.
"You don't seem to be resting well. Jack said to the other side of him.
Liu Heming shook his head, "It's too hard to get jet lag." I have a question for you, you must answer me honestly, you are my lawyer, everything has to be considered for me, right?"
Jack nodded, "Although I wasn't directly hired by you, I'm also your lawyer. The fee will be deducted from your income this time, and I have already explained this to you when I was in China. ”
"Then tell me honestly, is there something else going on this time?" Liu Heming asked as he stared into his eyes.
"Is there anything else? Do you want to get more property? Actually, you can. Your wife's family is very good, and it is also a relatively famous family in Houston. But at most, they can get another $100,000 or so, and if it's too much, I'm afraid they won't agree to divorce. Jack frowned and thought for a moment before saying.
"No, no, no, it's not about money. Think about it, if it's very simple, why don't you just let me sign the documents in China and just give me the money?" Liu Heming shook his head and said.
"Actually, it's also normal, rich people think that things are always different from us. If you sign a divorce, you may need to add a non-disclosure agreement. From what I've learned, they are a very conservative family, and you may seem to them to be a stain. Jack said with a shrug of his shoulders.
So they want this to be resolved peacefully and without causing any trouble. And I advise you not to really intend to occupy more property, and from my point of view, I suggest that you can only add a few small requirements. ”
"I said, buddy, can we stop looking at the money? I just think there's something else going on here. I can't speak English, let alone look at those dense agreements and the like. You must help me take care of it today, and if there is anything that can catch your attention, you must tell me. Liu Heming looked at him and said.
"OK, actually, I think you're thinking too much. When a wealthy person divorces, the key issue is often on the division of property. In fact, I envy your good luck, even in the United States, 200,000 dollars is a huge amount of money. Jack smiled and nodded.
The United States is a capitalist country, and the country is full of interests. For the sake of profit, two people who are fighting can cooperate temporarily, and they can also violate their conscience for the sake of profit.
Over the years I have lived in the United States, I have seen too much. Especially when dealing with divorce cases, before the divorce, the husband and wife will often look for each other's faults as much as possible, so that they can fight for more shares in the division of property when they divorce.
Otherwise, how could he envy Liu Heming's good luck, he came to the United States to play once in his life, and then married a daughter-in-law. Don't worry about anything, you can mix more than 200,000 US dollars after signing the divorce.
