After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

"Lin Fan, do you really understand what Tuan Tuan needs?" Su Qing gritted her teeth, making a final, unwilling struggle.

"Do you think you can give her a real social class just by showing her a few clean tax returns?"

"If she stays with you, you can't give her the confidence to transcend social classes."

Lin Fan looked at her, not even bothering to refute her.

He felt that Su Qing was a pitiful person whose eyes were completely blinded by money.

"If your social class is about teaching her how to lie and stall in court, how to push herself to the brink of hundreds of millions in debt," Lin Fan said coldly, "then she'd be better off as a small-time vendor."

Lin Fan didn't look at her again, walked around her, and headed straight for the Wuling Hongguang parked not far away.

Su Qing stood there, watching Lin Fan open the car door and get in, watching the dusty van drive out of the courthouse.

Her face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

"Don't get too cocky."

No matter how clean your business operations are, or how nice your rented place is, it can't hide the fact that you're a self-employed individual. You're lucky today, but next time you go to court, I guarantee you won't even have a chance to defend yourself.

Su Qing turned around, walked down the steps in her high heels, and sat in the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz van.

"Back to the company," she coldly ordered the driver in front.

The car drove smoothly into the snowstorm.

Su Qing leaned back in her seat, her mind racing as she reviewed the words she had spoken in court.

The path of suppressing Lin Fan in terms of economic strength and asset size has now been completely blocked.

She had to find another way to break through.

She just requested a recess from the judge on the grounds that the defendant is emotionally unstable and has violent tendencies.

Lin Fan values ​​his child more than his own life, so his only weakness is his child.

Since the formal channels for providing evidence are not working, we have no choice but to resort to unconventional methods.

She can still win this lawsuit.

……

the other side.

Inside the Wuling Hongguang, the heater was on, shutting out the icy, snowy landscape outside.

"Attorney Wang, you've had a hard day." Lin Fan gripped the steering wheel, looking at the road ahead.

"If you take someone's money, you have to solve their problems." Wang Zhengming leaned back in the passenger seat, took off his glasses, and wiped them with a cloth.

"But Mr. Lin, did you hear clearly the reason Su Qing gave for requesting a recess?"

"I heard you clearly." Lin Fan said calmly, "You said I have violent tendencies."

"She was forced into a corner and made up this excuse to stall for time." Wang Zhengming put his glasses back on.

"But since she brought this up in court, she will definitely try to collect or even fabricate evidence of your emotional instability in order to cover up her lie at the next hearing."

Wang Zhengming turned to look at Lin Fan and gave him the most pertinent warning a lawyer could offer.

"Boss Lin, you must be extremely careful during this period. Running a business inevitably involves some bumps along the way. Even if you encounter an unreasonable rogue on the street, or a customer causing trouble in the shop and pointing their finger at you while cursing, you absolutely must not lay a hand on them."

"Once you resort to violence, even in self-defense, and a police report is filed, Xiao Zhang will use it against you in court, making it seem like you have a 'volatile temper and are unsuitable to raise minors.' At this critical juncture, you can't even have an excuse to argue with someone. Understand?"

Lin Fan looked at the rearview mirror, his eyes slightly heavy.

"I understand. I will restrain myself," Lin Fan replied calmly.

The snowfall on Jin Street was heavier than in the city center, and a thin layer of white snow had already accumulated on the bluestone slabs.

Lin Fan parked his car and opened the shop door.

The lobby was quiet, and Su Xiaoxiao was sitting behind the bar checking the bills from the past few days.

"Brother Lin, you're back? How's the lawsuit going?" Su Xiaoxiao quickly stood up and asked as he entered.

"The court is adjourned, and the trial will be postponed." Lin Fan took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack.

"Huh? Why are you still dragging this out?" Su Xiaoxiao frowned, feeling somewhat indignant.

"It's nothing, just a formality." Lin Fan walked to the kitchen and washed his hands.

The cool tap water flowed down his fingertips, washing away the stuffy atmosphere he had picked up in the courthouse all morning. Lin Fan turned off the tap and grabbed a towel to dry his hands.

The restaurant had a "Closed Today" sign hanging in the air. There was no food being prepared or soup being cooked, and the spacious dining area was quiet.

In the corner, the shrimp dumpling was curled up into an orange ball and sleeping soundly.

"Brother Lin, since we're not open today, I'll go back to school early this afternoon?" Su Xiaoxiao put the order tablet on the bar into the drawer.

"Okay, let's have lunch before we go." Lin Fan draped a towel over the back of the chair. "It's almost noon."

It was a freezing cold day, so I didn't bother making any complicated dishes.

Lin Fan chopped a handful of scallions, rendered some scallion oil in a wok using black mountain pork fat, poured in the soy sauce brewed by the system, and brought it to a boil.

I boiled two bowls of chewy, thin noodles in water. I drained them and placed them on top of the scallion oil sauce.

There are no extra side dishes, just the simplest scallion oil noodles.

Two bowls of noodles were placed on the table. The two sat at a solid wood wooden table by the window, heads down, and mixed the noodles.

The rich aroma of scallions and the pure fragrance of pork fat wafted through the steam. Su Xiaoxiao ate heartily, and soon a fine layer of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose.

"Brother Lin, this scallion oil smells amazing!" Su Xiaoxiao ate more than half of her noodles in just a few bites. "By the way, did the court say when the hearing will be held again?"

"Not decided yet. Waiting for the court summons." Lin Fan ate slowly, his tone steady.

"What if Su Qing comes to the store to cause trouble again?"

"She doesn't dare to do it openly now." Lin Fan put down his chopsticks, picked up his water glass, and took a sip.

"There are security cameras inside the store, and there are also street cameras outside the door. If she dares to bring people to cause trouble, she'll have to explain herself in court first."

After finishing her meal, Su Xiaoxiao washed the two empty bowls, dried her hands, and slung her canvas bag over her shoulder.

"Brother Lin, I'll head back to school now. I'll be here to open the door on time tomorrow morning."

"Drive carefully."

After seeing Su Xiaoxiao off, Lin Fan fastened the bolt on the glass door again.

He went to the corner and added some water and cat food to the shrimp dumpling's small bowl.

Hearing the noise, the kitten stretched and nuzzled against Lin Fan's hand.

Lin Fan casually ruffled the shrimp dumpling's head a couple of times.

Just as I was about to get up, someone knocked on the closed glass door from the outside.

Lin Fan looked up and saw Qin Lang and Shen Man standing outside the door.

He walked over and unlatched the door.

The cold wind of early winter blew in through the cracks in the door as Qin Lang and Shen Man entered the hall one after the other.

"Brother Lin." Qin Lang casually unbuttoned his coat. His eyes were bloodshot, making him look like he had been working non-stop for several days.

Shen Man was also dressed in a smart business suit, carrying a briefcase she hadn't had time to put down, and her face showed a hint of fatigue.

Recently, the Qin family took over a 3 billion yuan project in the south of the city, and Qin Lang, as the core person in charge, has been extremely busy.

As for Shen Man, ever since she fell out with her materialistic mother and rejected Liu Zhiyuan's marriage proposal, she has been working overtime every day to take over the company's business independently.
