Recently, the Qin family had been dealing with a mountain of problems.
Qin Han’s divorce lawsuit.
Qin Siyuan’s position as student council president being challenged by Gu Anxi.
The acquisition of Bi Shui Yun Tian was also on the agenda.
Qin Han was busy and looked haggard, a far cry from his previous vigor. Qin Siling had returned to Qingcheng intending to use her status to lend the Qin family a hand; she planned to help with both the divorce and the acquisition.
Placing a cup of coffee before Qin Han, Qin Siling sat down. "Dad, I found out that Lawyer Feng will be at a certain business building this afternoon. I’ll go intercept him shortly. Don’t worry."
Qin Han sat smoking, replying after a moment, "When I was young, I genuinely loved your aunt. I never imagined that just over a year into our marriage, things would turn out . Perhaps my humble dwelling simply couldn’t accommodate such a grand figure."
Noticing his reluctance, Qin Siling quickly bolstered his resolve. "Dad, you mustn’t go soft now. Have you forgotten how she humiliated you at the airport?"
"Go soft?" Qin Han chuckled, his smile gentle, yet his eyes held a glint of ruthlessness. "Si Lan, if that Bo fellow tires of Anxi and doesn’t marry her, the Gu family will fall into my hands sooner or later."
Qin Siling placated him, "Yes, yes, exactly. Then you’d be able to mold Auntie however you wish. Make Anxi Siyuan’s San Er—Siyuan has always liked her, hasn’t he? Besides, Wanqing is no longer suitable, so it wouldn’t be a bad thing to let Siyuan have this chance."
Qin Han didn’t object.
After a moment, Qin Siling checked her watch. "It’s getting late. I’m going to meet Lawyer Feng."
Qin Han nodded. "Make sure to bring Lawyer Feng over."
「He Feng Business Building.」
Feng Mian had just finished his business and was preparing to leave when he saw Qin Siling approach him. "You’re Lawyer Feng, correct?"
Feng Mian stopped. "Miss Qin, isn’t it? I believe I’ve already rejected your case."
Qin Siling removed her sunglasses and gracefully stepped forward. "Would Lawyer Feng refuse such an overwhelming fortune?"
Feng Mian feigned interest. "This ’overwhelming fortune’ you refer to... how much would that be?"
Qin Siling quietly stated, "Ten million, to ensure the other party leaves with absolutely nothing."
Feng Mian chuckled. "That hardly sounds like a worthwhile deal. Miss Qin, you’re the first to make such a demand of me. Previously, wealthy individuals seeking a divorce where they wanted their spouse to leave with nothing would provide an inventory of assets and propose a percentage for my fee."
Qin Siling stated with great confidence, "Whatever amount Lawyer Feng names, we can meet it."
Feng Mian smiled and pulled a file from his folder. "For example, this tycoon from Beicheng wants to divorce his wife. If it goes through the normal procedures, his wife would likely take about half of his net worth." Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝
Qin Siling involuntarily asked, "Half his net worth? More than a billion?"
Feng Mian shook his head. "Around forty billion. And that’s not even considered a major case, just an ordinary one. My commission for that case alone is one billion."
What a joke! Ten million, and she dares to talk about an ’overwhelming fortune’ with him, Beicheng’s top lawyer? Does she really think Feng Mian has never seen money before?
The pocket money their Young Master Bo gives his little companion is more than that!
At this thought, Feng Mian inwardly seethed, yet his face held a gentle, polite smile as he observed Qin Siling’s instantly changed expression.
Qin Siling was indeed dumbfounded, then said, rather unnaturally, "The price... it’s negotiable."
Feng Mian regarded her patiently, a slight smile on his lips. "Miss Qin, I am a lawyer, not someone haggling over cabbages in a street market. For me to take on a case involving the Qin family’s modest assets, aiming to leave the other party with nothing... that’s highly unlikely."
