Two weeks later at the Mo mansion.
The mansion was livelier than usual that day and Li Qin had made appointments with two separate groups of people that day and they were all the top lawyers of Ye City.
She had visited many law firms recently to find out how she could obtain custody of Yuan Yuan and she had also called upon her connections and acquaintances in order to win this legal battle.
Li Qin looked very excited and overcome with emotion after she wrapped up her discussions with a lawyer named Wang Haishen.
“Mr. Wang, are you sure that we will be able to win the custody battle if we follow your proposal?” Li Qin asked, extremely excited at the thought that it was possible to get Yuan Yuan back.
She had already met with several dozen lawyers and not a single lawyer was certain that she’d be able to obtain custody of Yuan Yuan but this lawyer’s proposal and ideas were completely different from the other lawyers’, and he even said that they might be able to obtain custody of the child without having to even go to court.
Lawyer Wang nodded with a smile.
His methods were a little harsh but he would have no qualms doing those things if he received a good amount of money for his pains and Madam Li had already mentioned that she was doing everything she could in order to get custody of the child.
Li Qin quickly shook his hand and said, “Many thanks, Mr. Wang. I was still very worried that I wouldn’t be able to beat the Ye family in court but after listening to your proposal, I feel more confident about obtaining the child’s custody. Don’t worry, once I obtain custody of my grandson, I’ll definitely reward you personally.”
She beamed happily and felt as though some of her anxiety was finally alleviated.
After the lawyer left, Li Qin immediately looked more energetic and her gait became steadier. She had yet to obtain custody of the child but she was already feeling more confident.
She walked toward the door and bumped into Wu Xiaomin who was rushing toward her.
“Uh... Old Madame...” Wu Xiaomin said in surprise, “Xia Yuwei has come to visit and she’s just at the door. She wants to see her child.”
“Xia Yuwei?” Li Qin’s face immediately darkened at the mention of her name and her eyes blazed with anger.
This name was a taboo word in their house.
Xia Yuwei stood at the iron gates and as she looked at the house that she once spent more than a year in, the arrogant look was gone from her eyes and she looked tired and haggard.
She looked much thinner after she had lost 5 KG and her cheekbones protruded noticeably. It was obvious that she had fallen ill.
She wore a long dress and wrapped a silk scarf around her neck, so every part of her body was hidden behind her clothes except for her face.
She gripped the metal grates with both hands and stared at the door to the Mo mansion, hoping to see her child that she hadn’t seen in more than six months. She didn’t like her child in the past but now that she had fallen ill, no relative of hers other than the child would want to come near her. Her mother had barred her from coming home after she found out what kind of illnesses she had contracted and told her to fend for herself and not come home to sully their family’s name.
She was now left with nothing else but money.
Li Qin and the two maids walked toward her but she saw no sign of Mo Ye.
The corners of Li Qin’s lips curled up coldly and she looked at Xia Yuwei with extreme hatred and annoyance. It was all this woman’s fault that bad luck had befallen their family and that Yixuan was now separated from his wife and child.
“What are you doing here?” Li Qin asked angrily as she stuck her hands at her hips and her expression was furious.
Xia Yuwei was no longer as arrogant as before and she said pleadingly, “Aunty, I’m here to see Ye Ye. Please ask Ye Ye to come out.”
