Chapter 44: Dinner Negotiations
The dinner in the evening was twice as many as expected!
originally thought that there were only Zhang Jian, Li Tao, Zhang Yuan and her, but now, there is no one else on their side, just the other party, in addition to Zhang Yuan, there are two more uninvited guests.
Xu Congzhi and Jiang Ningyu.
The road is narrow!
Zhang Jian didn't react, and sat down with someone.
Zhang Yuan and Zhang Jian are not like each other at all, if you have to find a common denominator, that is, the two of them are quite tall and dressed in a serious way, wearing a pair of half-packed metal-framed glasses, giving people a warm and harmless sense of sight, and Li Tao, who is wearing a black slit skirt with a black striped long-sleeved shirt next to Lin Hanshuang, is not a kind of person by nature, these two people can form a family, and it can only be a marriage.
Each private room in Yanju Pond is generally large, and they are all eight-seater long tables, and there are six of them today, but there is no need for someone to sit at both ends and not be able to eat.
On one side of the long table sat Zhang Yuan, Xu Congzhi, and Jiang Ningyu in order, Zhang Jian and the two women sat opposite them, Zhang Jian was in the center, and the two women were one on each side, naturally each with their own husbands.
"Brother Xu, it's rare to see you." After Zhang Jian sat down, he greeted Xu Congzhi and ignored the two people next to him.
"Hehe, let's talk about it, let's introduce it first, who is this?" Xu Congzhi seemed to not know Lin Hanshuang, which made Lin Hanshuang sigh again, this is really a noble person who forgets things.
"Oh, let me introduce you to you, this is a newly hired lawyer from our law firm, named Lin Hanshuang, and I are college classmates." Zhang Jian smiled slightly when he introduced Lin Hanshuang, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured tea for the three people on his side.
"Oh, luckily." Xu Congzhi smiled.
"Hello." Since the other party didn't plan to recognize people, she didn't need to have that mouth. glanced at Jiang Ningyu opposite, the other party looked bitter and hateful, and he didn't look at it after just one glance.
"I've always wanted to find A-Yuan to come out for a meal together, but I'm too busy to delay," Zhang Jiandao.
"Well, you've always been busy." Zhang Yuan finally opened Chrysostom, his voice was low but had a mellow feeling, extremely pleasant, Lin Hanshuang doubted whether he was doing broadcasting work.
"Your lawyer has been introduced, and I will also introduce the lawyer on our side, Jiang Ningyu, Lin Jiang Law Firm." Xu Congzhi stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Jiang Ningyu, and then glanced at Lin Hanshuang.
"Hello." Zhang Jian actually said hello.
"Hello." Jiang Ningyu also said hello.
The atmosphere is a little weird, Lin Hanshuang doesn't plan to pick up any stubble, and today she is not the protagonist, so reducing her sense of existence and getting more information is the right way.
"Cousin Xu, can you help me make the decision? Zhang Yuan, he has been ignoring me..."Li Tao's complaining tone was particularly obvious.
"Don't worry, today's meeting is actually about this, Ah Yuan, you say it yourself, Zhang Jian is not an outsider," Xu Congzhi stopped Li Tao's complaint and opened the topic, it seems that they are also prepared, Lin Hanshuang pricked up his ears, eager to record.
"Li Tao, let's not be together, after so many years, I always quarrel and quarrel, and it's boring, if you're afraid that your family won't be able to explain, I will compromise in terms of financial compensation, and keep it to your father's satisfaction." Zhang Yuan lifted his glasses, probably a habitual action.
"Husband, I don't want to quarrel either, but you don't listen to me much at all, and you haven't given me a chance, Cousin Xu, A-Yuan has never given me a chance, saying that you have different values from me, and our two families are the right family, how can we have different values? I don't understand," Li Tao's husband's call was extremely humble, and Lin Hanshuang even thought that Li Tao and Zhang Yuan might be even more humble when they were alone together.
"You're with those so-called friends of yours, do you think you still need me as a husband?" Zhang Yuan lifted his glasses again.
"It's all my friends who have played since I was a child, and you didn't force you to play with them if you didn't like me," Li Tao was unconvinced
"What do you play with them?" Zhang Yuan seems to have lost his patience.
"What's playing? It's nothing more than that, playing yachts, playing parties, what else can we play? "Li Tao really didn't understand what Zhang Yuan meant, in fact, Lin Hanshuang didn't understand either, couldn't he say it clearly?
"Let me interject, A-Yuan, if Li Tao breaks off contact with those people, can you change your mind?" Zhang Jian didn't seem to be able to help it.
"I can't." This is Zhang Yuan's reply.
"Look at him, he's sincere!" Li Tao blew up the temple,
"Can you tell me why?" Zhang Jian faced Zhang Yuan, he didn't feel like a brother at all, just like facing an ordinary customer, he was worse than Lou Chunlin, at least he still had an angry expression towards Lou Chunlin, and for Zhang Yuan, he only had an expression at a glance.
"Because she and the gang are no longer clear, I don't want her anymore. It's as simple as that. Zhang Yuan's implication is that Li Tao cheated in marriage.
"I don't have !!" Li Tao almost shouted, she was too emotional, and Lin Hanshuang immediately decided that she really didn't.
"No need to act, if I have evidence, do you think I can still come to see you?" Zhang Yuan scoffed.
"What do you want?" Regardless of the image, he questioned loudly, which is very in line with Li Tao's character.
"Divorce." Zhang Yuan still had the same expression, not excited, not shocked.
"Don't you think about it!" Li Tao, who was overly angry, picked up the cup of tea that Zhang Jian had just poured and splashed it on Zhang Yuan's face without thinking about it, Zhang Yuan did not move like a mountain, but just suffered it silently.
Such a suddenness, except for Lin Hanshuang's exclamation, the other three men were also unaffected by it at all.
Lin Hanshuang covered her mouth, sorry for her gaffe, but now no one paid attention to her, and everyone watched the couple's next move.
"Zhang Yuan, let me tell you, as long as I, Li Tao, have a breath, I won't divorce you, I want to divorce unless I die!!" I picked up my bag and walked out, the meal was destined to be inedible.
After Li Tao left, Zhang Yuancai took a few pieces of paper, took off his glasses, and slowly wiped the water on his face.
My sympathy for Zhang Yuan rose, and I felt that it was really tiring to live with such a shrew.
"Zhang Jian, you see, I am facing such a person every day, I am your brother, my father and your father are brothers, are you still helping her now?" Zhang Yuan complained with extreme forbearance.
"I can't interfere in this matter, I told you, Lin Hanshuang is her lawyer now, and she will find another home without us, don't you know her attitude just now? If you want to divorce her, you probably have to come up with conclusive evidence, or simply separate. Zhang Jian spread his hands, still talking to customers.
"Hehe, if the separation is easy, I can survive until now?" Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly, a boiling word had already exposed too much of his emotions.
"So what are you messing about? If you are not satisfied, Li Tao should not have agreed in the first place, but now that she has children, why is this happening? I don't understand you anymore. Zhang Jian continued.
"Stop, stop, don't talk about the child, the child is his child, not his God," Xu Congzhi interjected as if he couldn't listen anymore.
But apparently ignored by Zhang Jian, he continued: "You say you can meet her financial demands? But are you satisfied? Do you know how big her father's appetite is? Don't say that you are still on Brother Xu's side now, even if you return to the Zhang family one day, do you think you can succeed without the help of the Li family? Rushing to divorce is tantamount to digging your own grave,"
"I don't want her family's help."
"Then you shouldn't have married her in the first place!" It's rare, Zhang Jian is too high-pitched.
"Don't I regret it?"
"Of course you can, if you insist on leaving, then keep fighting. In the end, it is estimated that it will be able to leave. ”
"Then hit. Cousin, keep fighting. This sentence was said to Xu Congzhi.
