Chapter 490 - 425: It’s Time for Gu Chen to Act! Did You Really Think You Didn’t Have to Repay the Money?
Now he just wants to get back all the money he transferred to Wang Xiaoru before and completely sever ties with her.
Shen Fei also said, "Wang Xiaoru, give the money back! I transferred 250,000 to you! You must return the money!!!"
Wang Xiaoru was extremely furious.
Wang Xiaoru said, "Shen Fei, how could I give you money? If you said Wang Haidi and Zhang Ruihua asked me for money, I could understand, because at the time, I didn’t even know who the child’s father was. I asked them for money... If they want money now, it’s normal for me to pay them back, but I wouldn’t pay them back everything... After all, I spent a lot of money on them too, why should I pay it all back now?"
"It’s understandable for them to ask me for money, but on what grounds do you ask me for money, Shen Fei? What rights do you have? Do you think I’ll give you money?"
Wang Xiaoru also understood the law...
She knew that in the situation where the child was a male friend’s...
She must return the money to Wang Haidi and Zhang Ruihua, otherwise she might end up in jail.
But why should she return the money to Shen Fei?
What right does Shen Fei have to say this?
Shen Fei: "????"
Shen Fei said, "When we were dating, I transferred a total of 250,000 to you, and I didn’t even bother to count the money I spent on you regularly... Every time we went out to eat or shop, wasn’t it always me who paid?"
"I just want to get back the 250,000 I transferred, and now you won’t return the money? Let me ask you, is this child mine? Did you cheat while we were dating? Now you refuse to pay back the money, right?"
Shen Fei was very angry, seeing how many times Wang Xiaoru cheated on him made him want to laugh.
But now Wang Xiaoru was still being so unreasonable...
Who let her be so arrogant?
Wang Xiaoru said, "Ha, does it matter if the child is yours or not? Whether the child is yours or not, I didn’t take a penny of abortion fee from you, did I? Did you give me abortion fees, nutritional fees? If you, Zhang Ruihua, and Wang Haidi gave me money, I could return it to you in the same way, but why should I return it now?"
"Your Honor, I can accept returning part of what I got from Wang Haidi and Zhang Ruihua, but I won’t return a penny to Shen Fei."
"After I got pregnant, I didn’t get a penny from Shen Fei... Shen Fei even beat me, in public, took me to the hospital, and then my pregnancy became unstable, leading to a miscarriage later... Shen Fei must bear full responsibility for my miscarriage!"
Shen Fei: "???"
Shen Fei had slapped Wang Xiaoru twice at the time, but not very hard.
Now Wang Xiaoru had an abortion later and wanted to ask him for money?
Isn’t Wang Xiaoru crazy?
Shen Fei: "How is your miscarriage related to me?"
Wang Xiaoru said, "Isn’t it related? Didn’t I miscarry after you hit me? The video of you hitting me can be found online everywhere, and now you don’t want to admit hitting me? Because you hit me, which caused my miscarriage, shouldn’t you cover the expenses? You should also pay for the medical bills and emotional distress, right?"
Wang Xiaoru continued, "Shen Fei, you must take responsibility for this expense. After all, you did hit me, and there’s no way you can escape it. As for the previous money, there’s no way I could return it to you, do you understand? All your previous transfers were voluntary gifts, and since you have already given the money to me, the right to allocate that money belongs to me. You shouldn’t and can’t ask for it back."
"When I’m in a relationship with you, don’t I invest my time and youth? When you date me, don’t you gain anything? Why should I give the money back?"
Shen Fei shouted, "But you cheated, damn it!"
Wang Xiaoru said, "Yeah, so what if I cheated? Were we married? We were just a couple, and there’s no law saying having a boyfriend means you can’t cheat. It’s not illegal."
"The money you gave me was all voluntary gifts during our relationship... and my cheating is a separate matter. Besides, part of the reason I cheated was because of you; you didn’t care about me, you weren’t romantic, just kept delivering food, and you were stingy. You wouldn’t even buy me a 20,000-yuan bag without hesitation. Which woman can spend her life with you?"
Shen Fei was so angry he didn’t want to speak.
When the two were dating, Wang Xiaoru wanted Shen Fei to buy her a 20,000-yuan bag.
But where did he have the money at the time?
He handed over all his wages to Wang Xiaoru.
And yet Wang Xiaoru still wanted money and gifts from him.
Where could he get that much money?
Shen Fei did have savings, but the savings were meant for buying a house; he didn’t want to spend them on buying a bag for Wang Xiaoru.
....
Xia Ranran said, "No, the situation is unfavorable for Shen Fei. Even if Wang Xiaoru goes to jail, the money Shen Fei gave her was a voluntary gift... Shen Fei won’t get a penny back because, according to the law, the money was voluntarily given to Wang Xiaoru, and even if the relationship breaks down and they break up, that money can’t be retrieved...."
Gao Yong said, "So this means Shen Fei can’t get back the 250,000?"
Xia Ranran nodded, "That’s right, Lawyer Gu might not win this case, and even if he gets Xia Ranran jailed, that 250,000 is likely gone for good... And it’s a fact that Shen Fei hit someone. Right now, it’s unclear what connection exists between Shen Fei hitting Wang Xiaoru and her miscarriage. If there’s a connection, Shen Fei has to take responsibility and compensate."
Xia Ranran was a bit worried...
Although Lawyer Gu was clearly winning the case, the opposing lawyer hadn’t said a word, but Wang Xiaoru knew some law too.
Wang Xiaoru knew from the start that once it’s written as a voluntary gift, it’s impossible to get a penny back, so Wang Xiaoru was not worried at all.
No matter how Shen Fei fights the case, she won’t return a single penny.
No matter how capable a lawyer Shen Fei finds, what difference does it make?
Lawyers have to abide by the law too.
In this case, Shen Fei has both a written voluntary gift and an assault.
There’s no problem asking for compensation for assault, right?
As for voluntarily gifted money, it has already been given; how can you ask for it back?
Xia Ranran was still somewhat anxious because, no matter how much Wang Xiaoru cheated with another person’s child, it wasn’t illegal.
Even cheating after marriage isn’t illegal.
The most they can do is consider the innocent party during the division of property at divorce.
But now they are just in a dating relationship...
Frankly, Wang Xiaoru’s cheating is her own issue.
What does it have to do with Shen Fei trying to get his money back?
But hitting someone is another issue entirely.
Xia Ranran said, "If it’s true that Shen Fei hit Wang Xiaoru, leading to her miscarriage... then Shen Fei might have to pay quite a bit, regardless of whether the child was his; causing a pregnant woman to miscarry is a serious matter...."
Xia Ranran understood the law and this point.
Even if Wang Xiaoru carried someone else’s child, it was still her child.
Shen Fei hitting her causing a miscarriage was indeed serious.
This case was essentially very disadvantageous for Shen Fei’s side.
Upon hearing this, Shen Fei felt a bit uneasy.
He was certain that he did hit Wang Xiaoru, but it had nothing to do with her pregnancy issues.
Could just a few pushes cause a miscarriage? If Wang Xiaoru was to miscarry, it would have happened on the spot...
But in reality, Wang Xiaoru kept arguing with him repeatedly...
Moreover, during the first trial, Wang Xiaoru hadn’t miscarried yet...
How did it become a miscarriage by the second trial?
Can you beat someone and cause a miscarriage a month or two later?
What kind of logic is this?
But Shen Fei had no way to prove his innocence...
Shen Fei looked toward Gu Chen for help; at this time, he could only count on Lawyer Gu...
He truly didn’t know what to do....
He wanted to retrieve all the money.
But now Wang Xiaoru wanted him to pay instead?
At this moment, Gu Chen spoke up.
