Chapter 21: I Only Want a Divorce, Yet You Want to Have Me Sent to Prison?
Su Bai had not expected that Li Xuezhen was also a second generation rich girl.
But on second thought, if an ordinary undergraduate student truly came from a completely ordinary background, how could she possibly have been accepted as a student by a top legal authority? Once he thought of that, it all made sense.
What Li Xuezhen had just used was indeed a small portion of her own family's assets as proof.
Looking at Su Bai's slightly surprised expression, Li Xuezhen hurriedly explained, "Lawyer Su, I found the proof of assets online, I did not expect the other party to actually believe it."
'Do you think the word fool is written on my forehead?'
Su Bai twitched the corner of his mouth. 'If you say so, then so be it.'
For the time being, it was not yet appropriate to expose her.
'Cough cough.'
Su Bai coughed twice and did not dwell on this point.
"Next, you should take screenshots of everything in this Lawyer Ye's fan group, and also download and save all the video content."
"If she contacts you for a live connection and gives you advice, you must preserve the entire process."
Seeing that Su Bai had not doubted her, Li Xuezhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head, and met his gaze.
"All right, Lawyer Su, I understand. Then what comes after that?"
"After that? After that, once Zhang Tongwei has fully prepared the evidence I asked him to prepare, we can submit the lawsuit to the court."
"Mm!"
Li Xuezhen nodded solemnly.
Su Bai leaned against the sofa. Every part of this case had already been prepared.
All that remained was to file the lawsuit and fight the case.
This time, this lawsuit might perhaps bring an unexpected surprise.
Su Bai took a small sip of tea.
Very soon, Zhang Tongwei prepared the evidentiary materials that Su Bai wanted.
After Su Bai had Li Xuezhen organize them properly, she went to the basic court to submit the litigation materials.
Not long afterward, the court completed acceptance of the case.
At the same time.
At Zhang Tongwei's home.
Zhang Tongwei looked at his wife Xie Jing, who had once again taken out loans to bring things into the house, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his brows.
Xie Jing shouted arrogantly several times.
"What, you are unhappy with me?!"
"If you are unhappy with me, then divorce me. If you do not divorce me for one day, then I will borrow two thousand yuan a day to buy furniture and small household items and such. In any case, everything I buy is something you can use too, it is not purchased solely for myself, so this is marital debt. If you refuse to agree to the divorce, you will still have to repay the debt."
"I am telling you, I have not sued you only because I am giving you face!"
"My advice to you is this. Sign the divorce agreement as early as possible!"
Xie Jing continued cursing without end.
It was false to say that she did not want to sue, but if she filed for divorce in this way, without a good reason for divorce, she might not obtain the result she wanted.
The other party had to be made to sue.
Zhang Tongwei was unwilling, so he simply dragged it out.
She kept tormenting Zhang Tongwei and forcing him to divorce.
Zhang Tongwei looked at the woman before him with a face full of impatience.
He flung a courier package onto the sofa.
"This is the court summons. Take a good look at it!"
The court?
The moment she heard those two words, Xie Jing's face lit up with excitement. Her footsteps thudded against the floor as she ran to the sofa, picked up the package, and said while opening it, "Honestly, if only you had just signed the divorce agreement."
"It is not as though you have not already consulted a lawyer. If you go to court, you will still have to pay additional legal fees, so why bother?"
Xie Jing opened the package smiling, originally thinking it was a divorce lawsuit.
But after opening the envelope and seeing the content of the summons, she involuntarily widened her eyes, stared at Zhang Tongwei in disbelief, and roared angrily, "Zhang Tongwei! We are fighting a divorce case, and you are accusing me of fraud?!"
"Zhang Tongwei, tell me, what exactly do you mean by this?!"
"Ah?!"
"We are getting divorced, so what do you mean by accusing me of fraud?!"
Zhang Tongwei looked at Xie Jing indifferently. "It means exactly this. Either you leave the marriage with nothing while carrying your own debts on your back, or we go to court!"
After saying this, he turned and left.
Xie Jing stared blankly at the court summons.
The court had accepted the case. Could it be that what she had done might actually send her to prison?
She only wanted a divorce. She did not want to be sent in.
Xie Jing understood a little law, but not much.
Seeing the court summons, she could not help becoming somewhat panicked, and she hurriedly contacted Lawyer Ye Fei, the lawyer who had given her advice.
"Lawyer Ye, my husband has sued me in court!"
At this moment.
Inside Nanyuan Law Firm.
Nanyuan Law Firm was regarded as one of the top law firms in Nandu, engaging in a wide variety of business, including both civil and criminal matters.
Ye Fei was precisely one of the lawyer partners at Nanyuan Law Firm.
After seeing Xie Jing's message, Ye Fei smiled slightly.
Another case had fallen into her hands.
"Do not panic. If your husband has sued you in court, is this not precisely an opportunity for you to get divorced? Had you not previously said that your husband had always been unwilling to divorce? This is a good opportunity, sister!"
"If you hire me, you can get at least forty percent of the property, or even fifty percent!"
Ye Fei guided her step by step.
Xie Jing hurriedly said, "Lawyer Ye, it is not a divorce case, my husband is accusing me of fraud!"
Ye Fei: ????
A fraud accusation?
This.
"It does not matter. The two of you are in a marital relationship, so how could his accusation of fraud against you possibly succeed? Rest assured. If you hire me as your legal representative, there is a ninety nine percent chance that we will win. But if you hire someone else, then it may be uncertain."
"All right, then I will trouble you, Lawyer Ye!!"
"It is no trouble, but this fraud charge is difficult to handle, so the legal fees may not be low."
Xie Jing gritted her teeth and agreed. "As long as Lawyer Ye can win the case, any amount of legal fees will be acceptable."
Xie Jing's side very quickly completed the legal entrustment.
Having received Ye Fei's assurance, Xie Jing once again became arrogantly overbearing toward Zhang Tongwei, merely waiting for the division of property.
Although the amount she would obtain had decreased, she herself had contributed nothing.
The court completed acceptance of the case very quickly, and the process moved to out of court mediation.
Civil cases generally involve the issue of mediation.
To be precise, Zhang Tongwei's case was one of fraudulent marriage, but there was no such offense under criminal law, so it could only be prosecuted as fraud, with a public prosecution accompanied by a civil lawsuit, in order to achieve the purposes of divorce and property division.
The first step would be out of court mediation between both parties' lawyers.
Out of court mediation was very important.
Based on the specific circumstances of the mediation, the court would make a preliminary judgment regarding the case. If mediation could succeed, then mediation would be pursued. If mediation failed, then it would be necessary to examine which side rejected mediation and for what reason.
This would cause the judge conducting the mediation to form a fixed impression, which would influence the judgment.
In the previous case with Nandu Bank, Nandu Bank had directly refused out of court mediation because it had confidence in its position.
The out of court mediation was presided over by a female judge in her thirties from Nandu Basic Court.
After learning this information, Su Bai felt a sharp ache in his teeth.
He had made inquiries, and as for this female judge, how should it be put, her marriage was not particularly happy.
A judge's subjective inclination was very important.
This was the key to the determination, just as with Yu Caixia's earlier judgment. In that bank case, if it had not been Yu Caixia, then other judges would very likely have measured the case according to the judgments of the first and second instance.
"Damn it, this judge has to be replaced!"
