Xiao Qian heard his voice, gripping the phone tightly, but keeping her tone calm.

“Okay.”

“In an hour, bring your mother to the District Court. My classmate will be waiting for you there. He’s a lawyer and will help you handle everything that needs to be done. Next, apply for an investigation order from the court to look into the outgoing funds in your father’s accounts. Leave all these matters to him.”

“It’s actually a simple matter, but he has to make it so complicated.” Xiao Qian muttered softly.

According to her plan, there was no need to go through all this trouble. Yu Minglang was too serious, insisting on using a legitimate approach to deal with the other party. Anyway, it was a matter of settling things, regardless of whether it was above board.

“As a dignified woman, you must ensure that your words and actions are always within the scope of what the law allows, including obtaining evidence! Your method is absolutely unacceptable.”

In fact, if Yu Minglang wanted to get Chen Lin’s records, it was just a matter of a few words. But he would rather go through the proper procedures, even if they were a bit complicated, and never do anything outside of the rules. He must make sure that his woman would be free of any problems in the eyes of the law.

Xiao Qian rolled her eyes, “Alright, understood.”

He was always serious when educating her on the law, which was really annoying.

“Go ahead, my classmate’s name is Ya Ming. With him around, neither you nor your mother need to do anything. Just keep your aunt’s emotions stable,” he instructed.

“Yu Minglang!” Xiao Qian called out to him.

“Yes?”

“Is work… busy?”

“Yes.” He couldn’t say more.

Xiao Qian knew that if it wasn’t because he couldn’t spare the time, he wouldn’t miss this opportunity to show his face.

Thinking of his work, Xiao Qian added another sentence.

“Stay safe.”

There was no need for more words; this simple phrase was enough to convey her concern.

“I will.” He smiled, feeling much better.

As she hung up the phone, Xiao Qian’s smile lingered. Actually, he was quite reliable when it came to handling matters.

Although they spent little time together in their past life, it wasn’t like how he took care of her now, with such thorough attention to detail.

In her past life, she remembered that by the time they met, she had already completed her doctorate, and was much older than she is now. Yu Minglang wouldn’t treat her as meticulously as he does now, like an old mother taking care of every detail for her.

Xiao Qian thought she would be very resistant to this kind of ‘little girl nurturing’ approach, as she was an independent woman. However, when these “tricks” were used on her, it felt… not bad.

It could be because Yu Minglang handled things clearly without seeking credit, or because he fully considered her feelings, or perhaps it was just because the one doing these things was him.

Xiao Qian turned her gaze to her mother and saw Jia Xiufang’s lost expression. She went over and sat down beside her.

“Mom, let’s divorce. Why are you still putting up with him?”

“Divorce! If I don’t, I might as well have died in a ‘car accident’! Jia Xiufang didn’t think before speaking, as she was still furious.

Xiao Qian wouldn’t give her the chance to back down, and didn’t want her to have time to think. She gathered Jia Xiufang’s personal documents and took her out the door.

They took a cab to the city, and since they were early, Xiao Qian took Jia Xiufang to a boutique. As they looked at the high-end clothes, each costing at least one hundred yuan, Jia Xiufang’s eyes were blank.

Xiao Qian took the opportunity to whisper, “I wonder how much of our family’s money ended up as clothes in Chu Xue’s wardrobe.”

This sentence reignited Jia Xiufang’s fighting spirit. She had spent all her money on her daughter’s college banquet and now owed her brother-in-law.

Shopping in a regular mall was very different from shopping at a night market.

Jia Xiufang stood in the beautifully decorated mall and looked at the expensive clothes. She stared at her and her daughter’s night-market clothes, thinking about Chen Lin saying that his ex-wife died in a car accident. She felt a suffocating sense of injustice as tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing her mother so upset, Xiao Qian felt a bit of heartache as well. The impact of this ordeal was enormous.

However, it’s better to suffer a short, intense pain rather than a long, drawn-out one. To move forward, they had to leave this rotten marriage behind. No matter how painful, this would only last for a year or two. Continuing this way, even a top psychological expert couldn’t heal Jia Xiufang’s heart.

“Qian’er, you must hate me, right? I’m a useless mother who can’t control a man. I made you suffer with me,” Jia Xiufang looked at her daughter’s cheap night-market dress.

It cost thirty yuan, and even came with a pair of stockings.

Standing in the mall, their money couldn’t even buy a tank top.

She had always taught her daughter to be frugal and self-sacrificing for the family, but now, the brutal reality was in front of her, and she felt sorry for her child. She shouldn’t be raising her daughter with this mindset.

Xiao Qian patted Jia Xiufang’s hand to comfort her.

“It’s okay, mom. You gave birth to me and raised me. That’s already more than enough. When I start working and making money, I’ll buy you nice clothes. Who cares about having a man? Can’t we live without one? Just wait, I’ll make sure that all the other women are jealous of how well you’re dressed,” she assured her.

Jia Xiufang’s tears, which she had just managed to hold back, started flowing again. Xiao Qian wiped them away for her.

“Don’t cry, so many people are watching.”

Her own eyes had turned red as well.

In her past life, she had harbored so much hatred for everyone in her family, including her mother. But now, with a change in perspective, things might not be so terrible.

On second thought, her mother in her past life was kept in the dark about many things and simply followed Chen Lin blindly. By the end, Jia Xiufang had been driven out of the house with nothing, barely able to care for herself, let alone look after Xiao Qian.

Thinking of her mother from her past life, Xiao Qian’s eyes grew more determined.

Cherish life, stay away from scumbags. She would do what her mother couldn’t!

Leading Jia Xiufang out of the mall, Xiao Qian checked the time, and took her across the street to the court. Seeing the court building, Jia Xiufang became nervous.

“Qian’er, why are we here?”

Having been honest all her life, Jia Xiufang was afraid of places like this.

“To file a lawsuit, for a divorce.”

“What?” Jia Xiufang hesitated, trying to pull away from Xiao Qian’s grip, but was met with a fierce glare that silenced her.

“What are you hesitating for? He’s treated you like this, and you’re still so cautious? What if they take away our house, force me into that karaoke place, and only then you realize your regrets? Mom, look, what is that?”

Xiao Qian pointed, and Jia Xiufang saw a karaoke place less than 500 meters from the court. Night Shanghai, these three words shone brightly in the sunlight.

Jia Xiufang shuddered, no longer resisting, and let her daughter drag her up the steps that would change their lives..
