Chapter 625: The Child Would Not Be Given To Her
Lawyer Yang handed a piece of handkerchief to He Xiyan as he spoke. Often handling divorce and property lawsuits, he was not surprised to see such a scene. However, the women in front of him was indeed pitiful. She could have been able to get custody of the child. Unfortunately, she was of a poor family background and could turn to no one for help. Marrying into such a grand family, she was doomed to have such an end.
Seeing her crying without responding, the lawyer did not know what to say for a moment. So he stood up, walked out of the reception room and took out his cell phone to give a call.
Soon, the phone call got through, from which came a man’s low voice.
“h.e.l.lo…”
It was Ye Hao who spoke.
Lawyer Yang cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Ye, I am in the castle right now. I would like to tell you something about the situation. Your wife, Mrs. He, seems to be reluctant to give up your daughter. She is emotionally uncontrollable and has been crying all the time. You see, would you like to come back and explain to her personally, or would you like to compromise on the issue of custody and leave the child to be raised by the woman for the time being?”
Lawyer Yang tried to communicate with the other side, showing his sympathy for that woman. After all, he heard that the woman had had a son with her ex-husband, who had also been awarded to her ex-husband. If her daughter could not be with her, that would be a great blow to that woman.
Silence rang the phone as if it had suddenly been hung up.
“h.e.l.lo…” Lawyer Yang thought the other person had ended the call.
Soon, however, came the voice of a man, cold and husky.
“No, deal with it according to the way I’ve told you before please, thank you!”
Ye Hao’s answer was very simple, and after that, he hung up the phone.
Looking at the message suggesting the end of the call, Lawyer Yang sighed helplessly, but could only return to the reception room again.
He looked at the woman in front of him, finding that she seemed to have stopped crying. Her eyes, however, were dead grey with no light visible, looking as if her heart had become wretched. She simply stared still at the divorce agreement in front of her.
“Mrs. Ye… Shall we continue?” Lawyer Yang sat down and volunteered to pour a cup of tea for He Xiyan.
And this time, He Xiyan finally spoke.
“You say.” She only responded with two words, her voice very hoa.r.s.e.
Lawyer Yang took a sip of the tea and said, “Now I continue. Mr. Ye means that the child must be brought up by him. He will not let you take his child to marry someone else, let alone letting your child call someone else dad. If you are reluctant, he will fight for the child’s custody through legal means. As you know, the court will, in accordance with the relevant provisions, award the child to the one who is more financially competent and more conducive to the growth of the child. Once the case goes to court, your chances of winning the lawsuit will be very slim.”
Hearing this, He Xiyan, who had been silent all the time, grinned bitterly. The word “slim” out of the lawyer’s mouth seemed to be mocking her.
Besides, how could she not understand that if Ye Hao was unwilling to let her bring up the child, she would have no chance of obtaining the custody of her child? Court, that cold and heartless place, she no longer wanted to go. Even if she went there, she would become a laughingstock.
Lawyer Yang turned several pages of the agreement and continued, “Well, Mrs. Ye, although you have only been married for more than one year, Mr. Ye says, since you are the mother of the child, he is willing to bear all your living expenses from the date of your divorce on.”
