Chapter 18: What is Love?
"Lawyer Yan isn't married yet, is he?"
After understanding the case clearly, Zhang Lu took the initiative to gossip with Yan Qin.
"Not yet." Out of politeness, Yan Qin replied, not wanting to discuss in depth.
"Does Mr. Yan have time to listen to my story? I know your lawyer's time is valuable, but I really want someone to talk to. What Zhang Lu said was very requesting, and the whole person was helpless and strong.
"Yes, if Ms. Zhang wants to talk, I can be a good listener." Yan Qin is really not very favorable to outsiders about emotional matters, but she thinks that since she is a friend of Lawyer Xie, she should accompany her, and she is indeed curious why the client is so resolute not to have custody and must still have that house.
"My husband and I were high school classmates, and we were young lovers, from high school to college, a total of seven years. When I graduated from college, other classmates broke up, and we went forward side by side, my father died when I was a child, and my mother raised me alone, my mother loved me very much, but she also loved me very controllingly, very strong, she did not agree with me marrying my husband. But at that time, he was my salvation, and I said to my husband more than once, you grow up quickly, earn money quickly, marry me quickly, okay? Zhang Lu choked up a little as she spoke, maybe childhood was really too painful for her, so the light at that time was particularly important.
"And my husband really loved me at that time, and he worked hard, and he worked in various jobs since he was in college, earning money part-time, and two years after graduation, he earned his first car and part of the down payment on his current house. Later, I also got pregnant, and when I was twenty-four, my mother finally relented, and we got married, and from the age of fifteen to twenty-four, I changed from Miss Zhang to Mrs. Gong. Not long after, we had a lovely daughter, and after the country released the second child, we gave birth to a well-behaved son, a daughter and a son with a good word. It's very happy. ”
Zhang Lu narrated, and the whole person exuded the brilliance of maternal love and the taste of happiness. It's just that it's slowly changing......
"So, now that I'm thirty-three years old, many people can't understand why I'm so determined to divorce......" Zhang Lu seemed to think of something, sniffing, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.
Yan Qin listened to the indescribable emotion, so he had to pull out two pieces of paper and hand them over.
"Thank you. Maybe my friends thought he was just drinking too much that night to beat me, and apologized the next day. I don't have to go on the platform and plan to leave and get divorced. However, they don't know that when two people are together, I know that he loves me, so I am sure that he does not love me now. Moreover, because of my family of origin, I clearly have love for my children, blood is thicker than water, and it comes from instinct. However, because of their father, I find it difficult for me to like them anymore. I know it's unfair to them, but it's the most responsible thing I can think of. Because I'm so selfish, if I ask for custody of them, I'm afraid that I won't be able to like them as much as I used to, and it won't be good for their upbringing. In reality, my husband's family environment is also better than mine, both financially and in terms of personnel composition. That's why I don't want custody of any of my children. ”
Zhang Lu thought for a while, "There is another reason, it may also be because I don't want to be entangled with him, because the custody of the child is here, and the issue of child support also has to be pulled with him, I don't want to exhaust our feelings in the pull, I just want to leave completely when he still cherishes me and feels guilty, and treats the children well with that bit of love and guilt." Therefore, I directly gave up custody and did not do any entanglement. As for the problem of the house, in addition to the fact that the house itself should belong to me, it may be more of an obsession. ”
Yan Qin listened to it, and didn't know how to talk about it, from a woman's point of view, women are easy to be vulnerable in marriage, but if they are like Zhang Lu, who don't have custody and only want property, it doesn't seem to be at a disadvantage. But Yan Qin, an unmarried and unpregnant girl, really has no position to accuse a mother.
Though...... However, Yan Qin still felt the inseparable maternal love from Zhang Lu.
The atmosphere was a little depressing and cold, and Yan Qin had to make a blunt transition.
"Then why did Ms. Zhang suddenly say that I was not married?"
"It's easy." Zhang Lu wiped her tears and smiled, "Although Lawyer Yan is very professional, there are still many times when his eyes drift to the mobile phone on the table during the conversation just now. I also came over at the age of a strict lawyer, and at this age, except for the love of gains and losses, it is difficult to have anything else to make a girl so emotional. So, I guess that Lawyer Yan is not married, and he should also be in the relationship bottleneck period, right? Or was it just a fight? ”
Yan Qin was speechless for a while, her brows furrowed slightly, and she thought to herself, "It's nonsense, she was really thinking about why Mu Chenyu hadn't replied to the news, but just because she was thinking that it was almost evening, she had to make sure about eating." However, because he wanted to change the subject, he did not refute it.
I had to laugh, "It's not like a couple quarreling, it's just ordinary friends." ”
"So that's the emotional bottleneck? Friendship is above, lovers are not full? Zhang Lu had a melon-eating expression, and she saw through it. It's as if it wasn't her who was crying just now. "Girl, don't fall in love. It's very happy to meet people for a lifetime, but it's also difficult. ”
Yan Qin was speechless directly, where did the emotional bottleneck period come from, you can see through the red dust by yourself, nothing.
All he could say was, "Maybe." ”
After going through the case, although there was domestic violence, the party did not report to the police at that time, and the injuries on the body were not examined in time, which cannot be directly used as evidence of the breakdown of the relationship, but can only be corroborated. And because they conceived two children together and the two people had common debts, it was a sure thing that the divorce would not be directly pronounced in the first instance.
Yan Qin truthfully informed Zhang Lu, "Ms. Zhang, this is the current situation of the case. I suggest that you try to divorce by agreement, and marriage is a matter of two families, so you should talk to the elders in the family. Although you are really calm now, a person's decision is not just to be calm. ”
"I just want to ask me if I don't want custody, as long as the house has a good chance of winning the lawsuit?"
"Yes. Because one, economically, Ms. Zhang, you are obviously weaker than Mr. Gong. Second, in terms of family atmosphere, Mr. Gong's family environment is more suitable for the growth of children, whose grandparents are alive and are all intellectuals and retired workers. Third, Mr. Gong intends to have custody. Fourth, the house is a marital property, although half of the down payment is Mr. Gong's, but half is your dowry, and the loan is also your provident fund, although Mr. Gong's fault is not fully established, but we still have an advantage to fight for the house. At worst, pay Mr. Gong's part of the house payment. ”
"Well, that's fine. Let's go to court, I'm not afraid of trouble. "Zhang Lu said very resolutely, although Yan Qin listened to their story, he still didn't understand." If it's not good, I can also provide evidence of his cheating. Zhang Lu said suddenly.
Yan Qin was indeed shocked, "It turns out that it's really not just domestic violence......
Although Yan Qin was only thinking in his heart, his eyes completely revealed his true thoughts.
"Without this expression, I didn't expect it, I've known him for nearly twenty years, and I never thought that one day I would be on guard against this." Zhang Lu was a little self-deprecating.
"Next, I'll trouble Lawyer Yan, so I'll leave first."
For a long time after Zhang Lu left, Yan Qin didn't react, and in the end, Zhang Lu's eyes really made her feel cold, what hatred, what a decisive look, it turned out that the two people who once loved each other could also be guarded against this, and the net was broken. Yan Qin suddenly felt that Ms. Zhang's version might not be true, it turned out that she had a backhand......
