Chapter 1541: Turning Mute

He wanted their child, so he did not feel that he had done anything wrong by taking more. But if they were really to fight over it, he would naturally have to depend on his lawyer to help him gain a higher ground.

Upon hearing this, the man's lawyer felt that a private settlement would be best. If it really went to court, this case would not be easy to win, but it would not be difficult either. Who would gain more marital assets would really depend on who gained custody of their child.

But the lawyer had never expected that his client had lied to him. Not only had his client been the one to commit wrongdoings in the marriage, but his wife had also gotten ahold of solid evidence against him. There was no way for him to refute it.

It was just his bad fortune to meet such an uncooperative client!

"We're in the same line of work. You should understand that with the evidence that my client has secured, your client doesn't stand to benefit from it if we are to go to court. Even if your client feels no responsibility to his family and marriage and chooses to abandon it until the very end by committing such an immoral act, my client doesn't have high expectations because he is the biological father of her child after all. After the divorce, my client will have custody of their daughter. Of course, your client will still have to pay alimony. Each of them will pay for half of whatever living expenses and tuition fees their daughter incurs. Whether it is paid in a lump sum or on a regular basis can be further discussed."

Seeing that his opponent was already in a state of loss, Xu Shengnan's lawyer was even more so calm and collected. "As for the marital assets..."

Xu Shengnan's lawyer smiled and produced two pay stubs. "This is my client's income over the past twelve months. This is your client's. As you know, having an affair as a married man costs quite a bit of money. Your client pays for the rent of the house this lady in the photo lives in. The rent is not cheap. It's something along the lines of 800 yuan a month. Now that the lady is pregnant, she needs more nourishment as well. After all, she's eating for two. So with all due respect, I'd propose to you that your client doesn't even have enough to spend. He's probably even asking for money from my client."

To take money from his wife to support his mistress? Was there any other man who was more shameless than this?

The man's lawyer turned pale. Ever since he became a lawyer, he had never felt so awkward and in a dilemma. Just a casual remark from the other party's lawyer rendered him speechless. But most importantly, when faced with such a bizarre situation, he actually did not want to even rebuke him.

"Other than this, let's talk about the issue of the house."

Fang Shiyou, Xu Shengnan's man, immediately spoke up. "House? What house? That house is mine. It has nothing to do with Xu Shengnan. I can't believe that I've never noticed how scheming Xu Shengnan is. She's probably had her eyes on me for a long time. It's really not easy for you to hold back your temper and finally erupt only today. But don't you think you should live with dignity, Xu Shengnan? Don't you remember how we got that house? My parents toiled their whole lives to be able to afford that small house. Don't be so shameless. Otherwise, how would Ling Ling see you as her mother in the future?"

The house was the most valuable. Besides, it belonged to their family. Xu Shengnan could dream on about even having that house.

Xu Shengnan laughed coldly. "I agree wholeheartedly about not being shameful, so I'll say it back to you. Even up until now, I've never said a bad thing about you in front of Ling Ling, so I hope that you can do some self-reflection and stop doing embarrassing things. I don't deny that your parents paid for the down-payment of that house, but what about the mortgage? I think I paid for the entirety of it. You didn't even contribute a single cent."
