Although she was a little frustrated that she could only handle such a simple case, Cheng Yao still carefully and meticulously read the materials of Dong Shan's divorce case, and then called the party Dong Shan.

Dong Shan happened to be free, so she made an appointment with him at the cafe downstairs in Junheng.

Family cases, unlike other cases, involve the privacy and life of many parties involved. Meeting for the first time in a meeting room is too business-like, which will aggravate the other party's sense of alert and is not conducive to communication.

On this point, Qian Heng naturally didn't have time to give her advice, but Shengzai Chengyao is a person who likes to observe and study, and helped Qian Heng make appointments with clients who met for the first time, and found that he always chose a place not far from the office, in an environment Cheng Yao took note of the quiet, private but more relaxed cafe.

Dong Shan arrived on time. As always, he was dressed plainly and even a little too much. His brows and eyes were not greasy and shrewd like a middle-aged businessman. On the contrary, he looked honest and honest.

If it wasn't for Qian Heng's notification, Cheng Yao would never have imagined that such a man would file for divorce from his wife who supported the business all the way because of cheating.

Cheng Yao was struggling with how to make an opening speech, and Dong Shan spoke first.

He smiled slightly and looked at Cheng Yao with kind eyes: "You are about the same age as my daughter."

"Dong Min?"

"En." Dong Shan sighed, "I don't know what this child is doing now. The fact that I am going to get a divorce will hit her hard, and I am also worried. She has been going smoothly all her life. Her mother and I are really in love with each other. It’s not easy to have her, and I’m really afraid of melting in the palm of my hand. She’s also used to doing everything according to her own will, and once there’s something she can’t control, she can’t accept it at all.” Dong Shan said He said, shaking his head helplessly but dotingly.

It can be seen that he loves his daughter quite a lot, but even if her daughter collapses in pain, it can't change his desire to divorce. Most women will endure not to divorce for the sake of their children, but Cheng Yao seldom sees this kind of thing happen to men.

"Lawyer Qian asked me to make an appointment with you this time because he wanted to communicate with you about the lawsuit plan." Cheng Yao shook off the thoughts in her head and entered the work mode. She took out a list, "Here are the things we sorted out. part of your current joint property with your wife."

"This is the proportion of these common properties that may be divided according to the current Marriage Law, including your equity in Zhenwei Catering. At the same time, we have also sorted out the possible impact of divorce property division on your business." Cheng Yao He took out the forms and materials he had sorted out one by one, and said, "We want to see what you think about this?"

However, regarding the materials that Cheng Yao worked so hard to sort out, Dong Shan just flipped through them and put them back on the table: "I don't have any ideas." He lowered his head, "I'm sorry for Wenxiu."

Although Qian Heng said that Dong Shan is willing to make concessions on the division of property in order to get a divorce, as long as he is a human being, he always has needs. Cheng Yao tried to be persuasive: "Don't be embarrassed, I am your attorney, and I am fighting for your rights and interests." , even if you were at fault in the marriage, you have devoted your energy to the success of Zhenwei Catering, and it is reasonable to claim it in the joint property."

"Lawyer Cheng, I know what you want to say. Do you want to know my psychological bottom line on the division of property in this divorce case?" Although he looks simple and honest, Dong Shan is a seasoned businessman after all. Yao's purpose, he changed his sitting position, "I really have no idea about this, even if I give Wenxiu more points, I am willing. I just want to divorce as soon as possible." Dong Shan paused, and added, "The more The sooner the better."

Although talking about Dong Min, Dong Shan's face showed a little loss and guilt, but when he mentioned divorce, the happiness and anticipation in him could leak out even if he concealed it.

Divorce as soon as possible at any cost...

A guess suddenly flashed in Cheng Yao's mind: "You, your one, are you pregnant?"

Dong Shan's eyes lit up: "So obvious?" Cheng Yao probably saw through it, and Dong Shan stopped holding it. He laughed heartily twice, sweeping away the haze just now, his whole body seemed to be shining , "I'm going to give birth in two months, it's a son!"

Talking about this son, Dong Shan became very excited: "So, don't I have to give him a name before the child is born? Otherwise, he will not be registered as a registered permanent residence, and his name will not be justified in the future. Yes, the family is not perfect, and I am afraid that it will leave a psychological shadow on the child." Speaking of this illegitimate child, Dong Shan's tone was excited and tender, "I have been waiting for this son for decades, and I am looking forward to it. , Finally, I am worthy of the ancestors of my old Dong family, and did not break the roots of our Dong family! My father is eighty-nine, and his health is not good. I also want to wait for this child to be born to surprise him and explain…”

He was afraid of leaving a psychological shadow on the unborn illegitimate child, but whether his daughter who had been with him day and night for more than 20 years would have a psychological shadow because of this was not in his consideration.

Maybe because he realized his gaffe, Dong Shan put away the expression on his face and returned to that kind of simple and honest appearance. He explained to Cheng Yao with some confidence: "You know, I have a big one like Zhenwei Catering. Enterprises, and later invested in many fields in a variety of ways, I will always have a son to take over."

Cheng Yao looked at Dong Shan who was eager to share her old age with the whole world, and felt very ridiculous.

The wife who started a business with his childhood sweetheart, and his daughter who is as young as a flower, are not as good as a male genitalia.

Dong Min asked Qian Heng in tears why her father divorced before. She might never have imagined that at the moment she was born, because she was a girl, she was already destined to be put in a discardable position by her father.

However, no matter how patriarchal you are, that's not a reason to find a third party to have children out of wedlock!

Cheng Yao endured it, and finally couldn't hold it back: "Did you not consider having another child with Ms. Jiang at the beginning? Although it was family planning at the time, it's not that you can't afford the fines because you are in business."

"It's not that I haven't thought about having a son with Wenxiu, and I can afford to pay the fine, but we can't have one." Dong Shan sighed, "Because of Wenxiu's health, it is very difficult for Wenxiu to have a child, and Minmin is also ours. It’s almost impossible to get pregnant again, and I really don’t want her to suffer so much for having a child...” He looked a little painful, “My dad is dying, he also wants to have a grandson in his dreams, and I don’t either. Way. You also know that when we do business, we always have some entertainment on the spot. That time I got drunk and took her as Wenxiu. Who knew that I would have a child after that, and it was a son. I really couldn’t bear it... It’s like It is a child given to me by God, not to mention, this is a life, I can't kill him with my own hands... "

The cause and effect became clear after a few rounds. If it was Cheng Yao from before, she would have said goodbye to Dong Shan with a smile at this moment. However, after going through the case of Bai Xingmeng, Cheng Yao became much more cautious.

Most of the time, it's not the big things that make you go wrong, but the details that you didn't notice in the process of handling the case.

"Mr. Dong, can I ask one more question? If Ms. Jiang is willing to accept the child and raise it on her behalf, but she doesn't want a divorce, can you accept it?"

Dong Shan was stunned for a moment, and then he said with some embarrassment: "It would be better if this is the case, then I will definitely not divorce."

Cheng Yao nodded, and confirmed something else with Dong Shan before sending him away.

In any divorce case, one must first understand the state of mind of the parties involved, the reason for the divorce, and whether there is any possibility of mediation and reconciliation, so that the lawyer can be prepared for all situations when preparing to sue or respond to the lawsuit.

Family matters are no different than commercial matters, black is black and white is white. When suing for divorce, it is likely that the parties gritted their teeth and wanted to divorce at first, but after the mediation of the judge, recalling the shared memories in the past, crying bitterly and hugging each other in court, there are some who say that they will never be separated again in this life. Therefore, lawyers must have contingency plans for various situations.

As soon as Cheng Yao returned to Jun Heng, she was called into the office by Qian Heng.

"Finished talking with Dong Shan?" He crossed his hands, sat in the boss's chair, and looked down at Cheng Yao.

"Well, we're done talking!"

"Have you encountered any problems?" Qian Heng's voice was a little unnatural, and he cleared his throat, "I happen to be free right now, and I'm in a good mood. If you encounter difficulties, I can reluctantly help you answer them. , lest you make the same mistake in Bai Xingmeng's case again, I would be ashamed to be known that my team's lawyers are so good."

Although his attitude was as flat as ever, Qian Heng was able to take the initiative to follow up such a flat case, and even offered to provide consulting and answering services. Cheng Yao thought, he might have won 500 million yuan, right? Feeling really good...

But for this case, Cheng Yao thought she was very cautious, she shook her head: "No problem."

"In this case, 80% of the judges will mediate before the court. Have you communicated with the party about the mediation? We need to make a response plan based on his attitude."

Cheng Yao nodded.

Qian Heng is in a good mood today, right? This is almost a matter of patiently teaching by hand, which is almost impossible for any partner of a law firm!

"Okay, then you go out."

However, just as Cheng Yao turned around, Qian Heng's landline rang. Qian Heng frowned after listening to a few words: "Dong Min? Why is she here again, tell the front desk not to let her in, and call the police if she makes trouble again."

Cheng Yao suddenly couldn't bear it: "I'll go communicate with her."

Qian Heng frowned: "Pay attention..."

Cheng Yao smiled: "I know the boss, I will learn the lesson from the last time, I will not bring my emotions into the case, and I will not disclose the situation of the case and the communication with Dong Shan just because I sympathize with Dong Min." give her."

Hearing her assurance, Qian Heng finally showed a look like an old father could smile.

However, just before Cheng Yao was about to turn around and leave, Qian Heng stopped her again: "Although this case is much simpler than Bai Xingmeng's case, don't take it lightly. Every case is different, so we must be careful about every detail." The level of obsessive-compulsive disorder, make sure there is no problem."

After saying this, he waved his hand at Cheng Yao, telling her to retreat without incident.

Sure enough, Dong Min looked haggard and lost his soul again. When Cheng Yao saw her, she first took out a tissue.

"It's useless for you to seek our lawyer. We just accept your father's agency, and we also have a confidentiality agreement with the client. Many things are based on professional ethics, so we can't say anything." Cheng Yao's attitude was very gentle, and she waited patiently for Dong Min's After calming down, she began to comfort her, "A lawyer is not a party in a marriage. If there is any problem, you still have to communicate with your father. It is useless to seek us."

Dong Min's eyes were red: "I also know that it's useless to find your lawyer, I have to find my dad, but that also depends on me being able to find him! My mother is still in the hospital because of this incident, I just let you He can go to see his mother! But he ignores me at all! I don’t know what I’m doing every day? I went to the company to catch him, but he’s not there, I don’t know where he has gone!”

Dong Min vented for a while before finally calming down and leaving.

However, Dong Min was calm, but Cheng Yao was not.

It's not that he still has feelings for Jiang Wenxiu, he just had a one-night stand in a moment of dizziness, and he wanted a divorce because of his son and his old father who wanted a grandson? Even making concessions to the division of property because of guilt? Then why is it that Jiang Wenxiu is lying in the hospital now, but she doesn't even look at her

The string in Cheng Yao's mind was completely taut following Dong Min's unintentional complaint.

Dong Shan lied.

Her client, like Bai Xingmeng, did not tell the truth.
