Chapter 101 Xia Wanqing's teasing: Is Zhou Ya going to be my new older sister?

The Su Family is not sitting idle right now.

"In other words, you still intend to file for divorce?"

The reason they had cancelled the divorce lawsuit initially was that their family was unwilling to part with so much money, but under the current circumstances, divorce was something that absolutely had to be done.

Given the current situation, for the two of them to remain a married couple would be utterly ridiculous. What kind of decent couple would turn their own husband into a eunuch?

"Correct. We must file for divorce now."

"Understood. We will immediately file the lawsuit with the court tomorrow. Do you think we should leverage our connections to see if we can jump the queue and expedite the divorce proceedings?"

Upon hearing this, Father Su nodded, feeling that it was a sound suggestion.

"Very well. If we do that, I may have to trouble you."

The other party shook their head.

"It's nothing; this is all part of our job."

After seeing the lawyer off, Father Su's phone rang. It was a call from another lawyer.

At present, the Su Family had contacted several lawyers, each handling different matters.

The lawyer who had just left was responsible for the divorce case, another was handling the cooperation matters for Su Chemical, and this one was responsible for his daughter's case.

He answered the call.

"Mr. Su, I have spoken with several of the involved parties. I have obtained their statements, and they are willing to testify in court."

The reason these people were willing to testify was simple: the Su Family had paid them. Otherwise, why would they help? Did anyone really think these people were paragons of virtue? Besides, if they were truly virtuous, they probably wouldn't have done such things in the first place, would they?

"Based on these statements, how likely do you think it is that she will be found innocent?"

"As it stands, it's already at 90%. Even if it's not ruled as self-defense, it could be considered excessive force, which could lead to a suspended sentence—effectively meaning she wouldn't have to go to Prison. Taking both possibilities into account, I personally believe there is at least a 99% chance."

The lawyer stated his assessment.

According to the statements, Zheng Tian had initially subjected Su Qiaoer to verbal abuse and attempted to force himself upon her in front of many people. Unwilling to accept such treatment, Su Qiaoer had chosen to fight back in self-defense, which was a standard case of self-defense, or at the absolute worst, a case of excessive force.

The lawyer felt 99% confident that he could win the case. Even if the Zheng Family had contacted other lawyers, he remained just as confident.

"Thank you for your hard work. Once this case concludes, we will pay you an additional 20% on top of the originally agreed-upon fee, provided that our daughter does not end up in Prison."

Upon hearing this, the lawyer was naturally delighted.

After all, lawyers are in it to make money.

If he could earn more now, why wouldn't he?

"Rest assured, we will do our utmost and will not let you down."

After ending the call, Father Su breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems quite likely now that our daughter won't have to go to Prison."

"That may be true, but what if the Zheng Family uses their connections?"

"They use their connections? I can use mine too. Rest assured, everything will be fine."

By now, the Zheng Family and the Su Family had completely burned their bridges.

This matter had already spread throughout their social circle.

"The Su Family and the Zheng Family are truly at each other's throats now. I heard the Su Family has filed for divorce yet again."

"Indeed. Tell me, why did Su Qiaoer choose to divorce in the first place? If she hadn't chosen to divorce, things would have been fine."

"Why else? She must have thought Zheng Tian was her 'white moonlight.' She surely wanted to be with him, only to find out that her 'white moonlight' was rotten to the core."

"If Zhou Ya of the Zhou Family ends up with Chairman Zheng, I bet the Su Family will be livid."

"Who knows? Either way, let's just sit back and enjoy the show. No matter how much we talk about it, it doesn't really concern us."

"..."

Gossip exists in every circle.

Even in their business circle, it is no exception.

Even Zheng Jie was watching the gossip unfold.

At the moment, he only knew the outcome; as for the specific details and the reasons behind it, he wasn't fully aware. So, his intelligence network was constantly gathering information, piecing the entire sequence of events together.

"Simply ridiculous."

Although he hadn't personally orchestrated this, it was undoubtedly inextricably linked to him. After all, if not for his relentless pressure, driving the Zheng Family and the Su Family to the edge of the cliff, how could they have ended up fighting over these billions?

"In other words, there is a high probability that Su Qiaoer won't have to go to Prison, right?"

Upon hearing this news, Zheng Jie felt a hint of disappointment. The reason was simple: he had been hoping to see the two sides tear each other apart until both were left battered and bruised. He hadn't expected that Su Qiaoer would avoid Prison.

"Yes. As it stands, there is a very high probability that it will be ruled as self-defense. Even if not, there is still the option of 'excessive force.' It is almost impossible for it to be classified as intentional assault."

If it were classified as intentional assault, the situation would be much more serious, warranting at least three years. Given Zheng Tian's current condition, a sentence of around ten years would be a distinct possibility.

"Very well, I understand. Keep monitoring the situation, and if there are any changes, let me know immediately."

"Understood."

After ending the call, Zheng Jie sat down beside Xia Wanqing.

"I bet my former sister must be feeling very regretful right now."

Xia Wanqing said with a smile.

"You're quite good at forging connections. If she were to find out, she might not even accept you as her younger sister."

"Whether she accepts it or not doesn't matter now. The main thing is, do you accept it?"

Xia Wanqing took hold of Zheng Jie's hand, her tone filled with a coquettish playfulness. Seeing her like this, Zheng Jie reached out and patted her head.

"Well, of course I do."

The two shared a smile, everything understood without words.

Just then, Zheng Jie's phone rang.

It was a message from Zhou Ya.

"Is this kitten okay?"

Looking at the message, Zheng Jie smiled, then opened the chat box to reply. Xia Wanqing, sitting beside him, saw this and smiled as well.

It looked like she was going to have another sister.
