Chapter 181 - 176: Mom on the Offensive
"Son, the house and money must be kept for my obedient grandson, absolutely cannot let that woman Ye Qiu take them away!" Madam Kong, even after returning home, continued her wailing, "This money is what you earned, how can the judge be so unreasonable to award it all to her?"
"What happened?" Liu Yan, hearing the commotion, came out from the room and seeing the three people all dejected, a bad premonition arose in her heart.
Kong Lizhi, his face ashen, hadn’t yet recovered from the news that he lost the lawsuit and had to leave with nothing, when Liu Yan turned her gaze towards Kong Zhenzhen.
Kong Zhenzhen didn’t have a good impression of Liu Yan, sensing that this new sister-in-law disliked her. Whenever her older brother provided her with living expenses, Liu Yan would assert at her side that she’s grown up and should be earning her own money. Thinking about Liu Yan having to surrender everything she got made her somewhat gleeful, however, recalling that her brother would have no money and thus she wouldn’t have any pocket money either, she began to blame Ye Qiu’s heartlessness.
Feeling extremely miserable, her response to Liu Yan’s inquiry also had a bad tone: "We lost the lawsuit, big brother has to leave with nothing, your money, house, car, jewelry, handbags, all have to be surrendered."
Liu Yan’s eyes widened in disbelief, she shriekily exclaimed: "How is that possible? Didn’t Lawyer Liu collect a hundred thousand in attorney’s fees? Didn’t he say that we could win the lawsuit?"
"Ye Qiu has obtained evidence of big brother’s infidelity and transferring of marital assets. Tomorrow, the people from the court and the bank will be coming to liquidate the assets."
Liu Yan collapsed onto the sofa, struck by the news. After all her years of hard work, not even having a formal status, and having already told relatives and friends she was to become a wealthy wife, now she was told she had to surrender everything she had almost had by tomorrow?
