Qi Xi can be very calm and neat when handling other people's cases, but when it's her turn to become the party involved in the case, she will inevitably become a little fanatic of the authorities. Fortunately, Gu Yan's words gradually brought her back to her senses.
That's right, no matter what, what step my father has taken and how serious his cheating is, still needs investigation and evidence collection.
It's just that Qi Xi didn't expect that, although he wanted to keep silent before knowing the whole picture, but he didn't know if it was some kind of fate arrangement, Xi Wen discovered Qi Ruiming's problem before Qi Xi told him.
On the night of discussing with Gu Yan to investigate his father together, Qi Xi received a call from his mother.
On the other end of the phone, Xi Wen's voice trembled a little: "Xixi, your father should have cheated."
Qi Xi was stunned.
"I know you may not believe it, but this is what my mother saw with her own eyes." Xi Wen didn't know that Qi Xi already knew about it, and her voice was filled with great pain. Qi Xi heard her take a deep breath, as if this was the only way to maximize I picked up the oxygen in the air, "Today is a regular SPA day that your dad made an appointment for me, and he also sent me to the hotel in person, saying that he would wait for me in the hotel cafe while processing work emails, waiting for me When you're done, take me home with you."
Qi Xi knows about Qi Ruiming's habit. Although Qi Ruiming is often absent from Qixi's school activities, he still cares about his wife. For example, he can put down his work one day a week and pick up his wife in person. To go to the SPA, the whole process is waiting downstairs in the hotel.
It was also these little things that made Qixi think that his parents loved each other very much. Even if his father was a bit patriarchal, at least he had nothing to say to his mother.
But now, listening to Xi Wen's trembling voice on the phone, and thinking of her shock at seeing Hermes wrapped in Wang Juan's hands, Qi Xi already felt that there was nothing that could not be overthrown.
Many things cannot withstand comparison at all. Once compared, the past cognition may be completely broken, leaving only riddled with holes, such as Xi Wen's coach and Wang Juan's Hermes.
The details of the love in the past, perhaps viewed from another angle, are simply deliberate.
"SPA was originally a one-and-a-half-hour project, but after ten minutes of work, the technician felt unwell and passed out, so this time the SPA was also temporarily canceled. The technician was sent to the hospital, and I planned to go to the hotel for coffee. Hall to find your father."
Qi Xi didn't need her mother to finish speaking, Qi Xi had already guessed the development, but Qi Xi still felt deeply shocked when she heard from her mother that her guess had come true again.
"But your father is not in the coffee shop." Xi Wen's voice had become almost fragmented, "I searched around, and he wasn't at the seat he was waiting for. I came out of the bathroom, but I just wanted to stop him, but found that he didn’t go back to the coffee shop, but walked in the direction of the hotel gym and swimming pool.”
"A few days ago I just teased him that he has a small belly recently. I wondered if he didn't seem to care at the time, but he cared so much that he was going to lose weight secretly while I didn't know. In order not to embarrass him, let him Embarrassed, I followed him secretly, and it turned out that he didn't go to the equipment area of the gym, but the swimming pool of the hotel... But he can't swim at all. He fell into the water when he was a child, so he still has a psychological shadow on the water. I'm a little curious, I don't know Why did he put on the equipment instead of practicing, and actually planned to learn swimming when he was old, so he followed suit... "
Qi Xi only felt the blood rushing to his head, so did his father go to the swimming pool to have a private meeting with Wang Juan? If his mother saw such a disgusting scene...
But what Qixi didn't expect was that what Xi Wen saw was more disgusting than the intimate interaction between her father and mistress—
"As a result, I found out that your father did not go swimming, he went to see a child swimming."
Qi Xi was stunned.
Obviously the temperature is not low at the moment, but Xi Wen's voice seems to come from the ice and snow, Qi Xi can even hear the voice of mother's teeth chattering slightly: "It's a boy, he looks about ten years old."
Qi Xi didn't realize it all at once, until her mother's next sentence poured her head to tail like a bucket of ice water—
"Looks like your dad."
In the face of particularly severe blows and pain, people often close some overly sensitive senses for self-protection. Originally, Qi Xi never thought that such words were true, but it was only at this moment that she realized that it was true.
The mother's voice did not become softer, but Qi Xi felt that her voice became very distant, as if it came from a dream, as if the phone call between her and her mother did not actually happen, and all of this was just an accident of Qi Xi's. dream.
"I heard that boy calling your daddy."
…
**
Qi Xi couldn't remember how she hung up the phone with her mother. She was shaking all over, like a severe Parkinson's patient, combined with a rabies attack, so that she was afraid of light, people, and all sounds from the outside world.
If you can find a hole in the ground to hide, just like a hibernating bear, no matter how much wind and snow there is, just sleep with your eyes closed, and wake up in the spring, the ice and snow will melt and the flowers will bloom naturally, that would be great.
However, Qi Xi felt like a survivor thrown into a secret room, facing the surrounding walls, there was no way to escape.
No matter how disgusting she was, she had to face these things.
She thought that finding out that her father cheated on Wang Juan was enough to have no bottom line and integrity, but she didn't expect that her father's betrayal of this family was even more outrageous than she thought.
After the game, it was Gu Yan who accompanied Qi Xi all the way back to the rented house. Zhao still worked overtime tonight, so there were only Gu Yan and Qi Xi in the room. Originally, Qi Xi planned to take advantage of this gap to have a good relationship with Gu Yan. In total, the direction of the investigation and evidence collection, but I didn't expect that the final plan could not keep up with the changes.
On the phone, Qi Xi could only briefly comfort his mother. Fortunately, although Xi Wen was hit hard, she still had some sense of reason. She didn't rush into the swimming gym to confront Qi Ruiming. Qi Xi: "Xixi, don't worry, mom knows what to do."
Under Qi Xi's continuous comfort and company chat, Xi Wen's mood gradually calmed down, her voice was still trembling slightly, but her mood sounded calmer: "Mom won't do stupid things impulsively, and you shouldn't go home immediately , it will arouse your father's suspicion. This matter still needs to be considered in the long term. If your father really did something that I'm sorry for and raised such a ten-year-old son outside, he must have a well-planned plan and cover it up very meticulously. I can't show my flaws at night, so I will still pretend to finish the SPA on time, and then go home with your dad. You must not rush home and confront your dad at this time, and don't call your dad. Just do your best. Your own business, your father's business, mother will deal with it."
Although Qi Xi is also a member of the family, the daughter and wife feel completely different when encountering the major betrayal of a spouse cheating or even having an illegitimate child outside. As a child, Qi Xi already feels that the world is falling apart. Such a trusting mother, how is she feeling at this moment, she almost suffered a catastrophic blow without any precautions.
However, up to this moment, it was clear that she was the biggest victim, but her mother was still comforting herself and trying to protect herself from such ugly things.
The tears that Qi Xi couldn't shed when she found out that Qi Ruiming was cheating, finally couldn't help it at this moment, and she fell down.
Although Qi Xi tried her best to bite her lips so as not to make a sound, even through the phone, Xi Wen quickly understood Qi Xi's emotions. In such a situation, her voice still had a gentle and calming power——
"Xixi, don't be afraid, don't cry, don't worry, your mother will protect you and this family. Even if you don't have your father, as long as you have your mother, you will still have a family, and your mother will do everything in her power to fight for us. something deserved.”
Xi Wen's voice has become calm: "If your father really did this kind of thing, I will never forgive him, although I know that you definitely hope to have a complete family, but mother can't give you this time I hope you can understand mom too."
Of course I can understand my mother!
Qi Xi's tears couldn't be stopped at all, and he expressed his attitude almost immediately: "Mom, no matter what you want to do, I will support you unconditionally! Don't worry about my feelings, just make a decision that is worthy of your own."
…
Until he hung up the phone, Qi Xi couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and blame himself.
For a long time, because her mother didn't fight in the workplace, she always had a gentle and soft personality, so that Qi Xi also misunderstood her. She always thought that even if her mother knew that her father was cheating, as long as her father didn't go too far, she would be fine. Feeling guilty and expressing a desire to return to the family, perhaps mother will not leave father.
In Qixi's generation, there are only a few who can endure the betrayal and unhappiness brought about by marriage, but she has handled Ai Xiang's case before, and she also knows that she should not use her own values to demand others, especially those who are older than herself. That generation of women, who grew up with a different social ethos than their own, made different decisions when confronted with a spouse's betrayal.
For this reason, Qi Xi even struggled to think that if her mother wanted to continue living with her father, she could only respect her and persuade herself to be more open.
It was only when things came to an end that she realized that she didn't know her mother that well.
Xi Wen is stronger than she thought, and she can't tolerate betrayal even more.
Originally, Qi Xi was worried that if her mother didn't want to divorce, she would know whether she would be more troubled if she cheated, but now seeing Xi Wen's attitude, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After he breathed a sigh of relief, Qi Xi also began to feel a little ashamed. She was obviously an adult, but when she encountered this kind of thing, she not only failed to stand up to protect her mother, but also needed her mother to worry about her.
Qi Xi realized that after seeing her father's cheating, she could no longer immerse herself in the victim's emotions, complaining about herself or suffering why this happened. She had to do what she should do.
She had to stand up and protect her mother.
She is an adult and has already worked, so she shouldn't let her mother protect her anymore.
**
Now that his mother has expressed her attitude, Qi Xi feels that she doesn't need to be restrained.
Once one party cheats in a marriage and the other party decides to divorce, the most important thing is to seize the opportunity to obtain evidence.
Xi Wen's strategy of telling Qi Xi not to go home was right, because this way of acting more normally would not arouse Qi Ruiming's suspicion.
Although her face was pale and her emotions were complicated, Qi Xi still briefly told Gu Yan about her mother's discovery, and she took a deep breath: "So, there is a high probability that my father had an illegitimate child outside, and I suspect that this illegitimate child is Wang Juansheng Yes, because this is also correct. Why did Wang Juan have no job for so many years and was still supported by someone? Why is my dad, who is a stingy person, willing to spend money on buying Hermes for her? Not just because of cheating, but because she is his son's mother .”
Gu Yan's face was full of genuine astonishment and surprise, he seemed to be stunned, and then gently took Qi Xi's hand: "Are you okay, Qi Xi? Do you need me to heat you some milk to slow down?" ?”
Gu Yan's voice was very gentle, as if he was afraid that raising his voice even a little bit would scare Qi Xi: "Should I go to bed early tonight, and we'll talk about the big things tomorrow."
Qi Xi knew that Gu Yan had good intentions, but she still shook her head: "No, I want to complete the chain of evidence as soon as possible."
Gu Yan did not let go of Qi Xi's hand, and his tone was firm: "Then I will stay with you, and I will leave when Zhao Yiran returns home. Under such circumstances, I don't worry about you being alone at home."
Qi Xi wiped away her tears, she really needed someone to accompany her now, and she no longer acted pretentiously and bravely, but nodded to Gu Yan with red eyes.
Probably motivated by her mother's words, Qi Xi almost quickly entered her own professional way of thinking: "If my mother wants to divorce, then I must fight for as much property division as possible for my mother. .”
Once Qi Xi wiped away his tears and returned to the professional field, his voice became calm: "Then first of all, we can obtain evidence to prove that my dad has indeed cheated. Find clues about where the money goes."
"The first method is the most straightforward, but according to the situation that my dad has not been found cheating for more than ten years, he should be very careful, not to mention that Wang Juan is now in his law firm, and he can work normally Even if I took a photo of him and Wang Juan together, he can still explain his evasion by saying that he is just a good working partner."
Gu Yan nodded: "That's right, so we should start with the second method, but now the bank is very protective of personal privacy, even if you can secretly get your father's ID card, as long as you don't go in person, there is no way Get the bank card statement."
Gu Yan's analysis is not ignorant of Qi Xi, she bit her lip, frowned briefly, but soon her eyes lit up: "But you can use WeChat! My dad will definitely add WeChat with Wang Juan. There will also be transfers, and now the court finds that there are a lot of cheating, just look at WeChat transfers, once you can find many long-term 1314, 520 transfers with special significance, it can be presumed to be cheating!"
"However, in the case of WeChat transfers to collect evidence, in judicial practice, it is almost up to the spouse to find the other party's mobile phone to collect evidence."
Qi Xi knew that what Gu Yan said was true. Even if he went to the court to sue, the court would not be able to forcibly obtain the chat records and transfer records in other people's mobile phones. For the second call to the mistress, such transfer records can only be collected by the cheated person with the cheater's mobile phone.
If I remember correctly, Qi Ruiming claimed to be on a business trip tomorrow, and Qi Xi was afraid that things would change after a long time, so he called Xi Wen immediately.
It was probably to find a safe place away from Qi Ruiming to answer the phone, but it took a while for her mother to connect.
Qi Xi didn't have time to say anything else, so he just succinctly stated his idea of collecting evidence: "Mom, you'd better get his mobile phone, there will definitely be all kinds of clues in WeChat, in addition to transfer records, there are also chat records, chat records can be If you prove cheating, you can sue for the money in the transfer records and ask the mistress to return the part that belongs to you, because this is the joint property of the marriage."
After all, Xi Wen was severely injured, and her voice sounded a little tired, but she was very cooperative with Qi Xi: "Xi Xi, tell mom, what should I do?" She was a little embarrassed, "Although I also studied law, I haven't worked much. Can I just take a screenshot of the transfer records on WeChat? Can this be used as evidence?"
"Mom, you first get your dad's mobile phone, click on WeChat, find the bill, click to download the bill, and then WeChat will pop up two options, one is for personal reconciliation, and the other is for proof materials, you choose to use it as proof materials For that item, the electronic bill exported in this way will be affixed with the official seal, which contains all his transaction details, which can be used as proof materials for property disputes and lawsuits, and the court will approve it."
Qixi took his mobile phone to operate step by step, while instructing his mother: "After ordering the proof materials, you need to choose the billing time, then fill in the email address to receive this material, and then a page will pop up, You are required to fill in the name and ID number of the owner of WeChat. You can fill in these according to my dad’s real information, and then you will come to the last step. This step is very critical, because you need to enter the payment password of WeChat, and the payment password of dad. Do you know which ones you will use?"
Xi Wen on the other end of the phone listened very carefully: "I know which passwords your father will probably use, and they are almost the same."
Xi Wen seemed to be walking, and Qi Xi heard the sound of the door opening and closing on her end.
Qi Xi just thought that her mother was walking around, but unexpectedly, after a while, Xi Wen lowered her voice and said: "Xixi, your father happened to be taking a shower, and the phone was charged outside. I got his phone now."
Qi Xi's heart beat like a drum, she didn't expect all this to be implemented so quickly.
On the other end of the phone, Xi Wen was probably collecting electronic bills according to Qi Xi's previous guidance, and she could only hear her slightly nervous panting on the phone.
After a while, Xi Wen said: "I received a notification on your dad's WeChat payment that the electronic certificate was sent successfully."
"Mom, there is a decompression code in the successful notification. Write down the decompression code. After writing it down, delete this push notification so that there will be no traces for Dad. He will not know that we used his mobile phone to apply for details. Proof. And this electronic bill will be sent to the email address you filled in, and you can open the file with the decompression code, so that you can get his electronic transfer details.”
"good."
After Xi Wen agreed, she didn't make a sound for a while, probably to decompress the file, but not long after, Qi Xi heard her mother's suppressed but painful voice: "Xixi, I applied for your father's one-year transfer For the record, there are a lot of 1314s and 520s, but more 52000s and 5200s...”
Because she was already mentally prepared, Qi Xi was not so shocked by the fact that she cheated again. She only had huge anger and hatred in her heart. Her mother was always considerate of Qi Ruiming's hard work, so she was always very frugal in life. They don't use brand-name products, and sometimes even a year's expenses are not as big as the red envelopes Wang Juan received once.
But my father, who was so picky with me and my mother, was very generous with my junior, Wang Juan.
Qi Xi's heart seemed to be on fire, she had no other thoughts at this moment, she only had one goal in mind - she could not forgive, nor could she be reconciled, she must get all the money from her father's mistress return.
Today's timing does not give Qi Xi and Qi Xi's mother any chance to breathe. Qi Ruiming may come out to look for his mobile phone after taking a shower and blowing his head at any time. This time the evidence collection is almost a race against time. Therefore, Qi Xi hardly paused and continued. : "Mom, now you got the bill in your mailbox, and there are already sensitive transfers such as 1314 and 520 in the transfer amount. This alone can legally prove that he cheated. In addition, after finding the person who transferred the money, Mom, There is one more thing you need to do, you have to click into the electronic bills for 520 and 1314 transfers, find the electronic transfer application certificate in the billing service, and apply for each bill of this amount."
Both mother and daughter were very nervous because they had to prevent Qi Ruiming from appearing, and Xi Wen's voice trembled even more: "I clicked, but it showed 'The electronic certificate currently applied contains important and sensitive personal information. To protect information security, Please enter the other party's name to verify'."
Mom's voice sounded like she was about to cry: "Xixi, but we don't know each other's name."
"Wang Juan, Mom, you name it."
Xi Wen responded, and after a brief pause, she spoke again: "Xixi, the application has been successful."
The successful application shows that the person Qi Ruiming transferred to 1314 is indeed Wang Juan, so he was able to successfully obtain the electronic certificate.
At this point, all the dust has settled, and there is no need to doubt or have any unrealistic expectations. Wang Juan is indeed her father's mistress, and the special amount of money from her father who shows love is indeed sent to her.
Xi Wen was obviously very surprised why Qi Xi knew the name of this mistress, but Qi Xi didn't have time to explain so much at the moment, she could only simply say: "Mom, this mistress Wang Juan is working in Dad's office now, she is about 30 years old , How do I know specifically, and some other things, I will tell you in detail later."
Her heart was full of overwhelming anger and hurt after being betrayed, but it was not the time to indulge her anger and sadness, Qi Xi gritted her teeth and tried to calm down: "Mom, now apply for electronic vouchers for all these transfer records, After a while, you will get the electronic certificate sent to you by WeChat payment, and after you download the electronic transfer certificate, delete the message pushed by WeChat payment.”
Xi Wen is proficient this time: "I know, mother will take care of it by destroying the corpse."
Qi Xi has cooperated with Gu Yan, cooperated with Gu Xuehan, and helped each other with other colleagues in the competition and cooperation office, but this is the first time in her life that she has joined hands with her mother in her professional field.
Although Xi Wen has been away from the workplace for many years, and she doesn't know much about today's electronic evidence collection methods, Qi Xi's explanation quickly made up for her lack of knowledge. The two teamed up to complete this simple evidence collection, and Xi Wen hurried Put Qi Ruiming's cell phone back to the original place to charge it, and then went back to the study to talk to Qi Xi on the phone.
"Xixi, I roughly scanned the electronic bill. I suspect that the money transferred to Wang Juan by your father on WeChat is not a large amount. He must use a bank card to transfer living expenses and expenses to the other party on a regular basis. Their son looks like he is about ten years old. Yes, the expenses will not be small, he will go on a business trip tomorrow, and I will take advantage of his absence to look through his invoice bag."
Although Xi Wen's voice was still slightly unsteady, the logic was clear and clear: "Usually your father will issue an invoice for the convenience of reimbursement, or for the cost of the office, as long as the money can be issued, and it has almost formed a habit. , and because he is afraid of trouble, every time he accumulates invoices for more than half a year before giving them to the finances of the office together, the invoice bag for the last six months is still at home."
Xi Wen paused, and then continued: "He and Wang Juan will definitely issue invoices when they go out for consumption. As long as you mark all the restaurants in the catering invoices for the past six months, and see where they eat most frequently, you can find him. The approximate location where Wang Juan was raised."
Encountered a major betrayal and a devastating family breakdown, both Qi Xi himself and Xi Wen felt pain and confusion in their hearts, but at this moment, it was an indescribable experience for Qi Xi.
She never thought that one day she would discuss cooperation with her mother on legal evidence collection, and her mother always seemed to be able to surprise Qi Xi.
It was also at this moment that Qi Xi really felt the light of her mother being an outstanding graduate of Rongda Law School.
In the past, Xi Wen was just a gentle and tolerant mother in her eyes, but now, Qi Xi realizes that she is also her alumni, her senior, who has received the same professional legal education as herself, and what she has learned is not complete. deserted.
"In addition, your dad is flying on a business trip tomorrow, and Master Chen will pick him up directly at the airport. His car will stay at home. Mom will go to find the SD card in his driving recorder tomorrow, as well as his usual navigation. , Commonly used addresses should also be useful."
Xi Wen's organization is clear, she is not as proficient as Qi Xi in collecting electronic evidence, but in other evidence, her level of meticulousness is not inferior to Qi Xi: "Your father and that Wang Juan should have been together for many years. And if you have children, it’s definitely not just as simple as giving some cash, you also told your mother that this little three is only about 30 years old, and if you are willing to give birth to a son for your father, it must be a big benefit.”
That's right, that's it.
Xi Wen went on to analyze: "So your father must have kept private marital property all the time. There is a high probability that he has bought a house and a car for the other party, and he usually pays for food and clothing. So we need to find all the evidence and clues. , to get the specific information of the property he transferred.”
Qi Xi's breathing became a little short, but her eyes lit up. She found the sense of devotion when she was completely immersed in her work and solved a certain problem, so even her anger and sadness were diluted a lot: "Mom, You mean we have to dig up all the property he transferred?"
"Um."
Qi Xi said sincerely: "Mom, do you know that you are really suitable to be a lawyer?" She couldn't help feeling a little regretful and uncomfortable, "It's really a pity to sacrifice your career for me and my father. If you When I started a business with him back then, wouldn’t it be…”
"Xixi, my mother never regretted that she chose not to go to the workplace to take care of you. Don't blame yourself for it. The child did not choose to come into this world by himself. It was the mother who chose to give birth to you. She should take care of you. You There is nothing I am sorry for. Resignation is my mother's own choice, so now it is also the consequence that my mother should bear."
Even at this moment, Xi Wen's voice is full of tenderness amidst the pain: "It's not that I'm unhappy during the years when I resigned and stayed at home. I used to have many good memories, but the situation has changed now. I will never forgive your father for treating me like this." It is possible to forgive him, and it is never possible to go back to the past."
"So, I won't think about what if, I won't assume that if I didn't resign, if I started a business with your dad, if I looked at your dad every day, would your dad have no chance of cheating, because now it's done, no more It's meaningless to think about it, I just want to look forward, your father is sorry for me, I will ask him to pay the price."
It was only at this moment that Qi Xi truly understood her mother's tenderness. True tenderness should be like cattail grass, which looks soft and weak and bends over when blown by the wind. Never break the essence of tenacity, no matter how much wind and rain the outside world is, the cattail grass will still grow unyielding even if it is swaying in the wind and rain.
A surge of faith rose in Qi Xi's heart.
Like her mother, she is a legal person. A legal person should not suffer in vain. Just because she is a legal person, she should use the most desperate attitude to protect her own rights and interests with the best of what she has learned, so as to make the marriage happy. The wrong party pays the price.
Neither Qi Ruiming nor Qi Ruiming's mistress can escape.
Qi Xi will never forgive.
What Gu Xuehan said is correct, to let a man know the price of mistakes, the most straightforward thing is to take his money away, men are so selfish and self-loving, only money can make them truly heartbroken.
