Because of Lu Hongyu's appearance, Lu Lu's current situation is different from before.
Because the DNA test results haven't come out yet, Lu Hongyu's side can't be sure yet, but the court is about to start.
Joey told the lawyer in charge of the matter about the current situation and the result they want to see to see the best way to deal with it next.
Lawyers said that the best outcome now is that they take the initiative to lose the case.
If the lawsuit is lost, Lu Lu's stepmother Zou Lixiang will still have the custody rights, so that after Lu Hongyu's appraisal results come out, he can directly sue Zou Lixiang. have a certain influence.
It was much easier for Lu Hongyu to get back custody from Zou Lixiang than Lu Lu's grandparents.
One is because of the blood relationship between the two, the other is that Lu Hongyu has better economic conditions and education level, he is able to raise Lu Lu better, and the third is Lu Lu's own subjective wishes.
If the lawsuit wins, then the custody rights will fall in the hands of the grandparents.
Judging from the insatiable face of grandparents and grandparents, they are bound to extort a large sum of money from them. Although this is suspected of child trafficking, if they are unwilling to hand over custody rights, there is really nothing they can do about it.
If Lu Hongyu were to go through legal procedures to sue his grandparents, the chances of winning the case would not be as high as suing Zou Lixiangda.
Zou Lixiang is a stepmother, and they have collected evidence that Zou Lixiang abused Lu Lu, but no one knows about the snobbish side of his grandparents except them.
Courts will look to a child's upbringing as a big factor in who gets custody.
Although Lu Hongyu is rich, he is unmarried and busy with work, so he has no time to take care of his children. Although the economic conditions of his grandparents are not good, the two elderly people have retired and can take care of and accompany their children.
So under the advice of the lawyer, after weighing the pros and cons, Joey, Song Heran, and Lu Hongyu all decided to lose the lawsuit.
In fact, before the trial, the plaintiff has the right to withdraw the lawsuit, but the withdrawal requires the consent of Jiang's family.
Judging from the current situation, the Jiang family will definitely suspect that the withdrawal of the lawsuit is tricky, and they will definitely make troubles without mercy, and it will be even more difficult to deal with at that time.
It would be better to ask the lawyer not to hand over to the court the evidence collected before about Zou Lixiang's abuse of Lu Lu, and to do nothing in the defense, and let the court declare failure. Not only would the Jiang family have no way to ask them for money, but they could also bring the matter to court. Blame it on the Jiang family.
The court hearing was scheduled for five days later.
Hu Fangli and Jiang Rui stayed in the hotel during the day and had nothing to do, so they simply regarded their visit to the imperial capital as a trip.
Although they have been to the imperial capital before, they always came to do business. How could they have time to play and live in such an expensive hotel.
So Hu Fangli and Jiang Rui walked around the imperial capital together.
It is also a municipality directly under the central government, and Jindu City is only more than 100 kilometers away from the imperial capital, but the prosperity of the two cities is completely different, and the housing prices and consumption levels are also very different.
Walking on the streets of the imperial capital, looking at the surrounding high-rise buildings and the frighteningly high housing prices, they deeply feel that the imperial capital is the world of the rich.
Hu Fangli and Jiang Rui are both old, and they are very interested in going to the humanities classics to check in and take pictures, but Jiang Rui's mind is not on it.
He was preoccupied with how to ask Joey for a room, and he had to ask Joey to tell him face to face.
Seeing that the case was about to go to court, Jiang Rui felt that this matter could not be dragged on any longer, or the time would be too late.
Jiang Rui immediately called Joey.
The phone rang several times but no one answered, Jiang Rui hung up and called a second time, but still no one answered the second time.
Jiang Rui was inexplicably flustered, and his eyelids kept jumping up, feeling a little uneasy.
For this matter, Joey and the lawyer have been contacting them alone. Lu Lu, stepmother and adopter, they have not seen a single person.
It was only then that Jiang Rui realized that he knew nothing about this matter except that Joey was the manager of a big star, and he didn't even know which law firm Joey arranged for the lawyer.
He and his parents are all like marionettes, and Joey is arranging the whole process.
If Joey couldn't be contacted, then they could only sit and wait, not even knowing where to find someone.
Thinking of this, Jiang Rui panicked even more.
He hurriedly continued to contact Joey, he had to hold on to Joey, the only cash cow.
After the meeting, as soon as Joey returned to the office, he saw a series of missed calls on his mobile phone.
Jiang Rui called her eight times.
Joey's face became serious in an instant. Every time Jiang Rui called, nothing good happened.
She turned the phone back, and it was connected before it rang.
"What's up?"
"Joy, why don't you answer the phone, don't you want to run away?"
"Meeting, the phone is in the office."
"Then what about your assistant, why doesn't the assistant answer the phone?"
"Also in a meeting."
After Jiang Rui got such an answer, he couldn't say anything. He asked, "I have something to talk to you about."
"What's the matter, tell me."
"I can't tell you clearly on the phone, so we have to talk face to face." After Jiang Rui finished speaking, he paused and continued, "Where is your company? I'll come and find you."
If you know the address of Joey's company, you won't be afraid that Joey will run away.
If Joey turned his face and refused to recognize anyone after Lu Lu's matter was handled properly, then he would go to her company to block her every day. Anyway, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes.
Joey doesn't want to see Jiang Rui at all, and has no time to see Jiang Rui.
An artist newly signed by the company was suddenly exposed to a scandal last night, and the marketing announcements were overwhelming, and it had been on the trending search for four hours.
If he didn't come up with a solution, the artist's final outcome would be to be hidden in the snow.
Artists who had just spent a lot of money to sign were hidden before they made a profit for the company, which would cost a lot of money.
Joey was in a hurry to get angry, and Jiang Rui wanted to add to the chaos.
Joey said in a bad tone: "Is there anything you can't say on the phone, if you can't say it on the phone, I think you'd better not say it."
When Jiang Rui saw that Joey's attitude had changed from before, he felt a little uneasy, but after thinking about it, it was Joey who wanted something from him, and it wasn't that he wanted something from Joey, and Joey still dragged 280,000. Why should I get used to her stinky virtues
Some people just bully the weak and fear the strong. It was because he was too easy to talk before, which caused Joey to behave like this.
"Joy, what's your attitude? Do you want to turn your face and deny anyone before the matter is done?"
"..."
"Don't think that we are all legally illiterate and don't understand anything. I consulted with a legal consultant on the Internet. In this situation, unless we withdraw the lawsuit, the custody of Lu Lu will definitely fall into our hands. I have the final say on whether or not to give Lu Lu to you when the time comes."
"Oh? So what?"
"So if you still want to adopt Lu Lu and let Lu Lu be your lovely daughter, just do as I said, don't have any tricks."
Joey said: "I live in a five-star hotel. I also agree to the 500,000 you proposed afterwards. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
"You want to send us away for half a million? You want to send the beggars away."
"The five hundred thousand was raised by you yourself, and you were the one who treated you as a beggar."
Joey is used to dealing with people. Most of the time, he greets people with a gentle tone and a smile on his face, but in fact, when he is rude to people, his teeth are sharp and his mouth is sharp.
"You!" Jiang Rui choked. "I don't care, anyway, don't think about sending me away with half a million now, Manager Joe."
When Joey heard this name, his face revealed a hint of surprise, but he quickly regained his composure after the surprise.
It doesn't matter how Jiang Rui knew her identity. Anyway, Song Heran doesn't plan to adopt Lu Lu now, so there is no need to worry about the media knowing about it.
If Jiang Rui made this matter known to everyone, then she would like to thank him instead. She can take the opportunity to market a wave of handsome and kind-hearted people for Song Heran, who can attract fans and retain fans. Kill two birds with one stone, and save marketing expenses a sum.
Before Jiang Rui could speak out, Joey had clearly imagined the possibility of what would happen in the future.
Without waiting for her to answer, Jiang Rui continued: "Manager Qiao, Song Heran's annual income is not low. As his agent, how much less can your income be?"
"Rich people like you probably own a lot of real estate under your name, unlike poor people like me who can't afford a house even after working for a lifetime."
"So?"
"Give me a flat, as long as I have a flat, about Lu Lu, I will do what you say, and there will never be any more variables."
When Joey heard this, he felt that he had lived for so many years. How could there be such shameless people in this world.
In a few days, the increase from 200,000 to 500,000 is already outrageous, but now it is better to directly change from 500,000 to a flat.
A suite in the imperial capital is worth less than 10 million casually. Good guy, this is directly doubled by 20 times.
Did this Jiang Rui really take advantage of him and be easy to bully
Qiao Yi didn't give Jiang Rui any reply, she sneered and hung up the phone directly, and temporarily pulled Jiang Rui's number into the blacklist.
Jiang Rui, whose phone was hung up, was stunned.
He thought he could threaten Joey and make Joey compromise, but he didn't expect Joey's attitude to make him think about not voting even more.
Joey's tone was obviously displeased, and she was completely different from when she patiently asked him for help when they met for the first time.
Now, he even hung up the phone directly.
Now Jiang Rui really felt uneasy.
It couldn't be that he asked for too much and angered Joey. Joey doesn't want to ask him for help now.
Thinking about it, if they were willing to give Lu Lu's stepmother a flat, then wouldn't Lu Lu's stepmother have already adopted Lu Lu to them, so there's no need for a lawsuit.
In fact, he doesn't have to ask for a house, and the other party can give less. This matter is not non-negotiable.
Jiang Rui hurriedly called Joey to explain, but he didn't expect that no matter how hard he called, he couldn't get through.
In the evening, he used his mother's mobile phone to call the other party, but the call was connected, and the other party hung up immediately after hearing it was his voice.
Joey what the hell does that mean
Don't you want to adopt Lu Lu
Now that he has sued Zou Lixiang, the court will hear the verdict in two days. At this time, Joey doesn't want to adopt Lu Lu. If the court judges, Lu Lu belongs to their Jiang family
Their Jiang family is living a tight life now, where can they get the money to raise another child.
Thinking of this, Jiang Rui, Hu Fangli, and Jiang Bin couldn't sit still any longer.
Joey couldn't be reached, so they quickly contacted the lawyer.
The lawyer's attitude was very firm and said that they would definitely help them regain their custody rights, so please rest assured.
But now, Jiang Rui doesn't want Lu Lu's custody at all.
If no one takes over Lu Lu, then this is a hot potato, and he doesn't care whoever wants it.
When Joey heard the news, they couldn't be sure what the other party was thinking.
The more Jiang Rui thought about it, the more panicked he became. After tossing and turning all night, he tried to contact Joey again early the next morning, but he couldn't get through.
Depressed and annoyed, Jiang Rui decided that since the other party had such an attitude, then this relationship must not be fought.
Maybe let Lu Lu, a hot potato, fall on his head.
He checked on Baidu, as long as the court has not yet started, the plaintiff can withdraw the lawsuit.
So Jiang Rui immediately contacted the lawyer and firmly stated that he would withdraw the lawsuit.
The lawyer who knew the truth was overjoyed. If Jiang Rui took the initiative to withdraw the lawsuit, then the matter would be simpler than he expected, but in order not to let Jiang Rui find out the clue, he confirmed it again and again, and told It's not easy for Jiang Rui to collect evidence that his stepmother Zou Lixiang abused Lu Lu, so it's a pity to give up like this.
But no matter what the lawyer said, Jiang Rui remained firm.
The lawyer expressed regret for Jiang Rui on the surface, but he was secretly happy in his heart. After submitting the application for withdrawing the lawsuit, he immediately told Joey the good news.
Joey was making a video call with his son Jiang Jiang at Song Heran's home when he received a call from his lawyer friend.
Before, she told her son Jiang Jiang that Song Heran's elder brother had a super beautiful and cute little sister who also went to Imperial Kindergarten, so Jiang Jiang always wanted to find her sister to play with.
Unexpectedly, his younger sister went to the filming crew after only two days of classes in kindergarten. Jiang Jiang kept talking to Joey about when he would be able to see his younger sister.
But Jiang Jiang has to go to kindergarten during the day, Lu Lu has to film, and Joey is also busy, so the three of them can't find time to spare.
Just yesterday, Jiang Jiang mentioned Lu Lu again, and asked if he couldn't meet and play together, could he and his sister video for a while, let him see if her sister is cute or not.
Jiang Jiang has seen many celebrities since he was a child, and he grew up in the circle of beauties and handsome men, so he has some facial features and high vision.
Many children who are said to be cute and beautiful by others are not good-looking at all in his opinion.
For example, there is not a single beautiful girl in their class.
At home, his mother described the younger sister of the elder brother's family as super beautiful, so he was very curious about what the younger sister looked like.
Today, Joey just happened to bring over the new product gift box that the brand gave to Song Heran a while ago, so he made a video to show his son Lulu, otherwise his son would always say that she was lying.
The two children were holding their mobile phones and chatting with the death angle video, while Joey was also complaining to Song Heran about the rascals of Jiang Rui's family.
The more Joey complained, the more angry he became, thinking that such a person deserved to be poor all his life.
When Joey was in a fit of anger, a call from his lawyer friend came in. After answering the call, Joey changed his previous expression with a relaxed expression.
She handed the phone to Lu Lu, turned to Song Heran and said, "Good news, Jiang Rui asked the lawyer to withdraw the lawsuit."
"What? Does he not want Lu Lu's custody?"
When Lu Lu heard her brother mention her name, she raised her small head to look at her brother, and found that his brother was not calling her at all, so she lowered her head to introduce her new toy to her new acquaintance Jiang Jiang.
She picked up the Teletubbies blind box that brother Enyu gave her last time, and said triumphantly, "Look, I have this."
"Tch, isn't it the Teletubbies?"
Jiang Jiang thought that sister Lulu was cute, but she was stupid. What's so interesting about Teletubbies, he has a room full of Iron Man, that's cool.
Jiang Jiang disliked Lu Lu, but he said this to Lu Lu very seriously, without any intention of hanging up the video.
The two children here are showing off their treasures through the video, while Song Heran and Joey continue to chat next to each other.
"Maybe Jiang Rui can't get in touch with me. I don't know what to do. I'm worried that after Lu Lu's custody rights are obtained, I will change my mind again. When the time comes, I won't get the compensation, and I will have to raise another child."
"It seems that he is not stupid."
"A person like him only has brains when he thinks about his own interests. However, this mistakenly followed our wishes and saved a lot of trouble."
"Yeah." Song Heran nodded and asked, "Now we'll wait for the appraisal report."
"That's right, as soon as the result comes out, things are basically settled."
"But what if Lu Lu isn't..."
Song Heran was still a little worried. After all, there are too many people who look alike in this world. Even in the small entertainment industry, there are two people who look alike.
"Don't worry, even if it's not, Jiang Rui can still use it again."
For greedy people, the temptation of profit is fatal. No matter when, as long as they give enough sweetness, they will be obedient.
Song Heran was relieved upon hearing the words.
He didn't care how much money was spent, he only wanted to live well in Lulu and whether he would be wronged again.
Song Heran looked at Lu Lu, and felt that she was synonymous with beauty just sitting there. Looking at those small arms and legs like lotus root joints, no matter how bored she was, her mood could be improved.
Song Heran didn't want this beauty to be destroyed by others, that would be too cruel.
Sensing her brother's gaze, Lu Lu raised her head. She stared at Song Heran with an expression of "Look, I got caught", and asked, "Brother, are you and Auntie Qiao talking ill of Lulu?"
"We don't."
"Brother lied, I have heard my name."
"Then you heard it and asked?"
"Lu Lu was talking to brother Jiang Jiang, I didn't hear clearly."
Lulu thought to herself, she obviously has two ears and two eyes, why can't she see and see two places at the same time.
Aunt Liu only allowed her to watch one episode of cartoons at a time, saying that after watching for a long time, she would become short-sighted, which was bad for her eyes.
But every time she turned off the TV before watching enough, Lulu felt that if she could use her eyes and ears separately, she would be able to watch two episodes of cartoons at once, and watch one episode with the left ear and eye. How nice it is to watch an episode with the right eye and ear.
Too bad she couldn't do that.
There was a regretful expression on Lu Lu's face.
Song Heran thought that Lu Lu was unhappy, so he hurriedly said, "Aunt Qiaoyi and I are talking about Lu Lu's cuteness. The kids like you, so we are envious."
Song Heran was really envious, because he had no friends in his childhood.
Lu Lu, who was still regretting just now, immediately smiled when she heard that she was praised as cute, and she hurriedly conveyed the words to Brother Jiang Jiang at the other end of the video.
"Brother Jiang Jiang, did you hear that? Both your mother and my brother say I'm cute."
Jiang Jiang nodded like a grown-up, and said, "At least he can be among the top three cutest people I know."
When Lu Lu heard the first three, she stretched out her little hand and hooked her fingers, and asked, "Then who are the other two?"
"I haven't found it yet."
"Is that Lulu the number one?"
"Well, it's okay for now."
…
Jiang Rui's voluntary withdrawal of the lawsuit was not only caused by Joey Song who was in a very good mood, but also Zou Lixiang who was in a good mood.
Zou Lixiang was in a terrible mood these few days after receiving the summons. Not only would she lose Lu Lu, a cash cow, but she would also have to distribute more than three million yuan of her property, which was a fatal blow to her.
Allocating more than three million yuan meant that she had to sell the house.
After selling the house, the money on hand is not enough to buy a new house, so she and her daughter can only rent a house, and she has to go to work to earn money to support her daughter, or she will have to sit and eat for a few years with such a small amount of money.
Unexpectedly, the subpoena came and went suddenly, and the other party quietly withdrew the lawsuit.
She really wanted to know why the other party would withdraw the lawsuit, but she didn't have the contact information of the other party, so she had to give up in the end.
But withdrawing the lawsuit is a good thing, as long as the guardianship is in place, Lu Lu will return to her sooner or later.
However, Zou Lixiang was not happy for a few days, she was sued again, it was the same thing, but the accuser changed.
This time, the person who sued her was no longer Lu Lu's grandparents and uncle, but a man named Lu Hongyu.
She remembered this man. When he was on the set, this man claimed to be Lu Lu's uncle. She thought it was the actor Fang Rui was looking for, but she didn't expect it to be true.
Lu Hongyu is really Lu Lu's blood-related uncle.
Lu Hongyu went to the court to sue Zou Lixiang as soon as he got the DNA identification report, and obtained from Joey the witness video collected by the previous lawyer in the community where Lu Lu once lived.
There are no less than ten people in the community testifying for Lu Lu, and they often see his stepmother mistreating Lu Lu.
In addition to this certificate, Fang Rui provided the surveillance video of the crew. In the video, Zou Lixiang went to the crew several times to beg for money, and tried to take Lulu away by force if he didn't give the money.
Not to mention anything else, these two certificates alone are enough to prove that Zou Lixiang's character is inferior and he has no right to raise Lu Lu.
In fact, Lu Hongyu didn't need to prove how bad Zou Lixiang was, just his various conditions and Lu Lu's supervisor's willingness to follow him were enough.
But Lu Hongyu doesn't like the existence of uncertain factors when doing things. He either doesn't do it, or he has to be fully sure.
Therefore, there was no suspense in the final verdict, and Lu Hongyu successfully became Lu Lu's guardian.
Zou Lixiang never pays attention to scientific research news, and every time he sees such interview videos on Weibo, he just skips them and doesn't click on them at all, so Zou Lixiang didn't know how powerful Lu Hongyu is until the day of the trial.
How can an ordinary person like her fight against such a rich and powerful person.
The disparity in status made Zou Lixiang not angry at losing the lawsuit, but at the moment her heart was full of regret.
If she had known that the Lu family had such awesome relatives, she should have treated Lu Lu well and established a good relationship with Lu Hongyu.
In this case, if you encounter something in the future and ask Lu Hongyu for help, it will not just be a matter of a word from him.
It's a pity it's too late to say anything now.
Now Zou Lixiang only hoped that Lu Hongyu would not look down on the millions of inheritance Lu Yuanzhou had left for Lu Lu, and would not take the money back.
If she doesn't want to go back, she doesn't need to sell the house, and the more than one million yuan in her hand is enough for her and her daughter to live for several years.
In the past few years, she can find someone with good conditions to remarry.
It's a pity that Zou Lixiang's wishful thinking not only came to nothing, but was also shattered.
Lu Hongyu actually sued her, not only asking her to return the inheritance that belonged to Lu Lu, but also depriving her of the inheritance right on the grounds that she abused the heir Lu Lu.
In the past, she thought that Lu Lu was a child supported by others, so she treated Lu Lu as she wanted, and she didn't expect today's situation at all.
