Chapter 396 I think Su Miaoyu is pretty good and can control him
The female lawyer sitting next to him said, "Mrs. Li said that she will not sue you for the time being, but please recover the antiques that were resold as soon as possible or make compensation. There is another rule: if you make any remarks that are unfavorable to the Li family after you leave, we will still pursue you."
Xue Baochai was truly convinced at this moment. She remembered what her mother had said: If you want to talk to Old Madam Li, you will have to wait for a few more decades.
Indeed, ever since she returned to China, Madam Li had only sent lawyers to talk to her and had never responded to her directly. And one thing led to another, and she really couldn't win. It seemed that she really wasn't worthy...
Xue Baochai held the pen with great difficulty and signed the divorce agreement stroke by stroke. At this moment, she was in a trance and wished that time could go back to the day when she just returned to China.
If she had signed the agreement at that time and lived a good life with her mother, maybe she would have had a stable life, right? But now it was too late. Even her mother was unwilling to take care of her. There might be people waiting to block her and laugh at her. Even if she got out, she would have been deserted by everyone. She had no friends, no hope, nothing...

Xue Wenqi, who was answering the phone outside the door, was also prepared to ask Lawyer Zhen for help to see if he had any way to help Xue Baochai.
It turns out that Lawyer Zhen had some evidence against Li Haoze. When he found his daughter, he was ready to deal with Li Haoze, but was stopped by his daughter.
But the situation is different now. First of all, the child kidnapped by Xue Baochai is being raised by Grandmother Jia, who is also Lawyer Zhen's boss. No matter how stupid he is, he would never turn his elbow outward.
In addition, Li Haoze later helped Zhen Xiangling find a school and arranged tutoring. Although Lawyer Zhen could not say that he did not hate Li Haoze, there was no need for him to try to stop the car. After all, even if the current Jia family fought against the Li family, they might not win. Moreover, the two families were now in-laws. Both of the Jia family's daughters married into the Li family, so the Jia and Li families would rise and fall together. Lawyer Zhen still wanted to retire peacefully and spend his old age with his daughter. He did not want to wade into this muddy water.
After listening quietly to Xue Wenqi's request, Lawyer Zhen replied slowly: "It is really not convenient for me to come forward on this matter. Xiangling told me just now that you were looking for me, but I didn't think about this matter. At present, it is like this: because the Li family said that they would wait for Li Haoze to come back to resolve it, we did not take over. Otherwise, we might be the plaintiff's lawyer in this case, and Madam Jia would also sue Xue Baochai. If I helped you, I would have no way to explain to Madam Jia, so it is better for me to avoid suspicion on this matter." After that, he hung up the phone without leaving any leeway for Xue Wenqi.
Lawyer Zhen had been on probation for Xue Wenqi's pursuit of her daughter. Now that she heard that her sister had done such a thing, she had lost her good impression of him. If it weren't for the newly restored father-daughter relationship, she would never allow them to date. If Madam Jia heard that her son-in-law was from the Xue family in the future, she might accuse him of being irresponsible as a father to her daughter...

Jia Tanchun has been interning with Lawyer Zhen for more than a year and has basically taken over the affairs of the law firm. Lawyer Zhen is currently in semi-retirement and all cases are arranged by Jia Tanchun, who only occasionally gives her guidance.
After get off work, Jia Tanchun rushed back to Wang Ziyan's residence. As soon as she entered the door, she saw that Wang Ziyan didn't look well.
Mrs. Wang was indignant that day and helped Xue Baochai to rebuke Su Miaoyu, but what happened yesterday quickly slapped her in the face. Although she went to see the child and comforted Lady Jia as soon as possible, she thought about it after she came back and found something wrong. If she hadn't been soft-hearted and provoked Xue Baochai to come over often, she might not have had the opportunity to harm the child. Although Lady Jia didn't blame her, she was a Buddhist after all, and she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
Mrs. Wang dismissed the maids and waited until no one was in the room before she tentatively asked Jia Tanchun, "Have you heard about Xue Baochai? She came to me the other day and said she wanted to see if I was interested in an investment. Could it be that she was holding a grudge against me because I rejected her?"
"I heard a little bit. My master received a call from Brother Xue this afternoon. He wanted to ask my master to help Xue Baochai. My master refused at the time and told him about the interests of the two families. We must avoid suspicion now, so as not to hurt the harmony between the two families." Jia Tanchun said this after taking a sip of tea. Then she observed Mrs. Wang, who looked embarrassed and hesitant. She quickly said:
"Don't blame yourself too much for this. Blame it on Xue Baochai herself for narrowing her path. When she married into the Li family, she was so glorious, but she didn't think of us. Instead, she thought of you when she was in trouble. Since she came to ask for help, she shouldn't hurt others if she can't get the result. She is obviously a person who doesn't know what is good and what is bad. Now that she has violated the law, she will have her own consequences. You don't have to associate her wrong thoughts with you."
After hearing what she said, Wang Ziyan's expression relaxed a lot, and she nodded slightly and said:
"I am a little worried about her. I have a very good relationship with her mother. When she was little, she often came to play and often came to see me. I just treated her as my own child. At that time, I thought she was a good child. She was good at studying and had good looks. I even thought about her and Baoyu... I didn't expect that she would become like this in the past few years."
After hearing this, Jia Tanchun put down her teacup and continued to persuade her: "She is unlucky. Now I think Brother Bao is a good man, and the sister-in-law he found for me is also good. Since they have been together, they have not been in contact with bad friends, nor have they caused trouble outside, and their careers are getting better and better."
Mrs. Wang also nodded and praised: "What you said is right. Baoyu seems to have become a different person now. It's as if he has met someone who is really suitable for him. I think Su Miaoyu is very good and can control him..."
As they were talking, Jia Baoyu and Su Miaoyu came back from get off work. They brought two large bags of sugar-roasted chestnuts, and as soon as they entered the house, they called out to the maid Caiyun: "Send one to Grandmother Jia, and serve the other on a plate."
"My son is back? Is it cold outside? You two should have some hot tea to warm yourself up." Mrs. Wang changed her usual cold attitude and became warmer towards Su Miaoyu.
Su Miaoyu was very smart. Even though this big thing happened, she never mentioned it. She just talked to everyone about the upcoming New Year, how to decorate the house, what to buy, etc.
This made Mrs. Wang look at her with even greater respect, thinking that she was truly gentle, generous, and well-educated.
