188: Chapter 188 Zhang Wei, You'd Better Be Kind

Soon, Zhao Yang obtained the information about Richard.

He didn't speak, just handed the phone to Qin Yumo.

Qin Yumo had already guessed the answer, but still played the ostrich: "I'm not looking. Hu Yifei, you look for me."

Hu Yifei rolled her eyes, took the phone, looked down at it, and asked through gritted teeth: "Shall I read it then?"

Qin Yumo buried her head in the crook of her arm, "Read it, I'm listening!"

"Alright!" Hu Yifei read it out through clenched teeth, "Richard, married. Current wife, Guan Tina, English name Tina."

"What?" Lü Ziqiao looked shocked, "Richard is already married? Hu Yifei, look closely, is it married, not divorced?"

Hu Yifei nodded: "Married."

"Damn," Lü Ziqiao cursed, "Scum."

Seeing Qin Yumo head down and silent, Tang Youyou hurried over: "Qin Yumo, don't be sad, this kind of person isn't worth it."

Qin Yumo suddenly raised her head, took a deep breath, and looked indifferent: "I'm not sad, not sad at all. You don't need to worry about me, I'm doing just fine."

Everyone looked at each other.

Anyone with a brain could see that her state was completely wrong.

Gao Qiqiang looked worried: "Qin Yumo, if you feel bad, just cry it out, you'll feel better."

Qin Yumo shook her head: "I won't cry. Why would I feel bad? I'm too happy, I even want to sing. I am a little stream, flowing forward forever, little stream, oh little stream, never stopping..."

Everyone collectively covered their foreheads—it's over! It's done for, has she gone crazy?

"Qin Yumo," Gao Qiqiang said in a deep voice, "How about we go and beat Richard up?"

Qin Yumo shook her head: "Why beat him? Who is Richard? Do I know him? What are you talking about?"

"Qin Yumo..." Hu Yifei pulled her arm, "Don't scare me, act normal."

Qin Yumo stared with clear, wide eyes: "I am very normal."

"Qin Yumo, don't be like this." Tang Youyou grabbed her arm, looking worried.

Lin Wanyu looked at Zhao Yang: "Brother Yang, what should we do?"

Zhao Yang thought for a moment, then suddenly asked loudly: "Qin Yumo, are you just going to let it go like this? Just muddle-headedly accept the status of a mistress? Don't you want to see Richard stand in the defendant's dock and face trial? Don't you want him to apologize to you publicly? Don't you want everyone to know his true colors? To know that the one in the wrong is Richard, not you, Qin Yumo?"

Qin Yumo was stunned, and after a while, she murmured: "Defendant's dock? Does the court handle this kind of thing?"

Zhao Yang smiled: "Of course they do."

"But this is clearly me being stupid, I brought this on myself..." Qin Yumo's eyes turned red again.

"You are wrong. Legally speaking, you are an innocent victim," Zhao Yang said. "Richard's actions are not just a matter of moral condemnation, but suspected illegal activity. He concealed the significant fact of his marriage, let you date him with the goal of marriage, and severely infringed upon your personality rights. If he induced you to make large expenditures on him during this time, that is even more serious—it's a criminal act! Suspected fraud! So I strongly suggest you sue him."

"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Yang is right." Zhang Wei immediately chimed in, "You can sue him. Qin Yumo, I just looked at relevant cases, you can make him apologize in the newspaper, or apologize in person, and you can also make him pay for your mental anguish."

Qin Yumo stared blankly at Zhao Yang: "Can I really?"

"Definitely," Zhao Yang said. "You were innocent to begin with, yet you have to suffer this kind of pain. He has been deceiving you, so of course you have the right to sue him, and the probability of winning is very high. Think about it, Qin Yumo—if you don't reveal Richard's true colors, it's very likely that other innocent girls like you will be deceived by him. Can you allow this to happen again?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Hu Yifei immediately agreed, "Brother Yang is right. Qin Yumo, exposing Richard is equivalent to acting on behalf of heaven."

"Yes." The others said almost in unison, "Acting on behalf of heaven."

Qin Yumo looked at everyone, her gaze shifting from bewildered to firm, and finally she nodded heavily: "Yes! We absolutely cannot let him off easily."

Everyone showed relieved expressions, secretly admiring Zhao Yang—it really takes Brother Yang to handle this. They immediately followed Qin Yumo's rhythm, shouting and yelling.

"Yes, yes, yes, absolutely cannot let him off."

"Qin Yumo, sue him, sue him hard."

"Make him apologize publicly."

...

While everyone was chattering, Zhao Yang patted Gao Qiqiang: "Old Gao has wide connections and knows many people; help Qin Yumo find the best law firm. By the way, Zhang Wei, you are a professional, you should also assist from the sidelines."

Gao Qiqiang immediately seized the opportunity: "No problem. Qin Yumo, finding a law firm is on me. I know Zhuge Dasheng of the Dasheng Law Firm, she is a famous lawyer! We'll go to the Dasheng Law Firm tomorrow."

"My god," Zhang Wei shouted, "Brother Qiang, you actually know lawyer Zhuge Dasheng? She is one of the city's top ten lawyers, a strong woman among women. You and Qin Yumo must take me when you go to the Dasheng Law Firm, I want to go on a pilgrimage."

Zhao Yang glanced at him, his expression teasing.

During the fifth season of iPartment, the little girlfriend Zhang Wei dated was Zhuge Dasheng's daughter—Zhuge Dali.

Is Zhang Wei going to meet his future mother-in-law so early? But at this time, Zhuge Dali... hmm, seven or eight years old, right?

She must be an adorable little princess. Zhang Wei, you better behave.

Seeing Zhao Yang's look at him was not quite right, Zhang Wei laughed dryly: "Brother Yang, I... was too excited."

"I'm not laughing at you," Zhao Yang said. "I just think you guys are too anxious. Tomorrow is Sunday, they probably won't be working. I think, why don't we all go out and have some fun tomorrow, Qin Yumo can also relax. How about camping?"

"Camping?" Tang Youyou's eyes lit up immediately, "Great, Brother Yang's suggestion is perfect."

"I agree." Lü Ziqiao raised his hand directly.

Zeng Xiaoxian had just returned, and upon hearing about camping, he didn't even ask for the context and just shouted: "Count me in."

Hu Yifei patted Qin Yumo's shoulder: "Have fun tomorrow, save up your energy, and go to battle on Monday."

Qin Yumo nodded slowly: "Okay."

With her nod, the camping proposal passed unanimously. Finally, Gao Qiqiang waved his hand, telling everyone not to prepare anything, he would cover all the food and entertainment, and provide transportation for everyone.

After Zhao Yang and Gao Qiqiang left, although Qin Yumo wasn't on the verge of a breakdown like in the original series, she wasn't in a good mood and returned to her room early.

Tang Youyou leaned over to Hu Yifei with a gossiping look, whispering: "I think the way Brother Qiang looks at Qin Yumo is a bit... you know..."

"Which way?"

"What do you mean which way? Just that way." Tang Youyou frowned, "Don't play dumb."

Hu Yifei shook her head: "It's not that I'm playing dumb, it's just not the right time to bring this up. Don't let Qin Yumo hear it."

"Ah!" With a strange cry, Lü Ziqiao ran in holding the Qiangsheng Group membership card, shouting, "Have you guys seen this card? If you haven't, hurry up and log in to check it."

Lu Zhanbo frowned: "Isn't it just a membership card? What could it have? Oh, right, there are discounts."

"Ah!" Another shout came from Zeng Xiaoxian, he also ran over holding a membership card, bringing Sekiya Guchi with him, both of them looking shocked, "This card... this card..."

"Huh? Hu Yifei, come here quickly." An exclamation also came from Qin Yumo's room, "Look at this card..."
