Chapter 454 I Don’t Make Dirty Money
law office.
Xiao Zhou looked at the lawyer solemnly and said, "I...I have a friend..."
"She...was with a married man. Later, this man divorced his wife due to housing problems. They never remarried after the divorce!"
"This man bought a house for my...friend during a divorce."
"Lawyer Zhang, I'd like to ask, is this house the common property of that man and his wife?"
Lawyer Zhang frowned slightly and replied seriously, "Ms. Zhou, this situation needs to be analyzed in detail."
"Generally speaking, if the man uses the marital property to buy you a house during a divorce...oh, sorry..."
"If you purchased the property for your friend, then the house will most likely be considered joint property of the couple."
"Because during the continuation of the marriage relationship, the husband and wife usually have equal rights to deal with the common property. Even if they are in a divorced state."
Xiao Zhou was disheartened when she heard the lawyer's words. She had originally held out a glimmer of hope, but now she felt cold all over and didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
Her face turned pale in an instant, and her eyes were filled with panic and helplessness.
"How could this happen... Then... Then what should I... do with my friend?" Xiao Zhou's voice was obviously trembling, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.
Lawyer Zhang looked at Xiao Zhou's distraught look and chuckled, "Miss Zhou, what does your friend's matter have to do with you?"
"You know that the other person is a married man, but you still take the initiative to stick to him. How shameless~"
"I advise you not to get involved in your friend's mess. Try to stay away from such a friend, otherwise you will be influenced by bad company."
When Xiao Zhou heard what Lawyer Zhang said, her face turned red instantly, her chest heaved violently, and flames of anger burned in her eyes.
"Lawyer Zhang, how can you say that! She made a mistake, but as a lawyer, you shouldn't be so sarcastic!" Xiao Zhou's eyes were wide open, his fingers were clenched into fists, and his voice became sharp with anger.
Lawyer Zhang was somewhat surprised by Xiao Zhou's intense reaction, but he still maintained his calm expression and sneered, "I am just speaking the truth objectively. Is it possible that a person who destroys other people's families deserves sympathy?"
"Go back and tell your friend that you don't need to ask around. In this case, the house must be returned."
Xiao Zhou slammed the table hard, and with a loud bang, the whole room fell silent for a moment.
"You are engaging in occupational discrimination! Even if she is wrong, it should be judged by law and morality, not by your sarcasm!" Xiao Zhou straightened his back and looked directly at Lawyer Zhang.
"My friend has realized she was wrong. She regrets it and is very scared. I came to consult you in the hope of getting professional help and advice, not to listen to you insulting her!"
Lawyer Zhang was stunned for a moment, then he calmed down a little, cleared his throat and said, "Okay, even if what I said just now was a bit excessive, it is the fact that your friend's behavior is indeed disgraceful."
Xiao Zhou took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said, "I know her behavior is wrong, but everyone makes mistakes. What's important now is how to solve this problem. Is there no way to keep the house?"
Lawyer Zhang was silent for a while, then said, "Yes."
When Xiao Zhou heard the word "yes", his eyes lit up instantly. His originally tense body leaned forward unconsciously, his face full of anxiety.
"Is there really a way? Tell me quickly, what is it?" Xiao Zhou's voice was full of excitement, as if he had caught a ray of light in the darkness.
She stared at Lawyer Zhang closely, not daring to breathe, for fear of missing any crucial information.
Lawyer Zhang paused, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "As long as this man and his wife don't pursue this house."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhou was stunned for a moment. Then he said viciously: "Are you kidding me? Do you need me to tell you this?"
"No wonder your law firm has no one. With your character, are you qualified to be a lawyer?"
Lawyer Zhang did not get angry but smiled and said, "I am indeed different from other lawyers. I don't make all the dirty money."
"Ms. Zhou, please ask your friend to seek help from someone else. But I can give you a suggestion from a professional perspective."
"Tell your friend to return the house and learn how to behave himself."
"After all, it is ill-gotten gains, and you can't keep it."
"If Miss Zhou has no other questions, please feel free to go ahead. I still have work to do."
After hearing Lawyer Zhang's last words, Xiao Zhou completely wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.
She knew it was useless to continue pestering him, so she glared at the lawyer and got up and left.
Xiao Zhou walked out of the law firm in a daze. The sunlight outside was a little dazzling, but she felt gloomy in her heart.
Her steps were heavy and her thoughts were confused.
She followed Wang Chenglin for several years, during which time she gave her youth and provided Wang Chenglin with all kinds of emotional value.
Wang Chenglin's position and resources in the company did help her a lot, and she also made some progress in her career.
She recalled every moment she had with Wang Chenglin, the secret dates, the days of fear, and she felt that she had endured too much pressure and pain.
In her mind, this house is what she deserves.
But the lawyer's words were like a heavy hammer, constantly hammering at her heart.
She knew she was at a disadvantage both legally and morally.
But she just couldn't accept the possibility of losing her house, as if it was the only thing she could hold on to in this wrong relationship.
Moreover, if the matter gets to the end and the company has other ideas and she loses her job, it will be even more of a loss.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhou's face became even gloomier.
She contacted several law firms, but unfortunately the answers she got were not very optimistic.
After returning home, Xiao Zhou curled up in the sofa again. After thinking for a while, she called the company's vice president, a greasy old man in his fifties.
This vice president was parachuted in from the head office. Although he is only a vice president, he has real power.
Xiao Zhou understood men's hearts very well. She once glanced back inadvertently and saw the vice president staring at her legs in stockings.
I think as long as I get on board the vice president's ship, there will be no problem protecting myself.
You can't lose both your house and your job, right?
If that were the case, Xiao Zhou would definitely not be able to accept it.
When the call was connected, Xiao Zhou's tone turned into tears: "Mr. Lu... I... I am Xiao Zhou..."
