Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 364: No Conscience
Chapter 364: Chapter 364: No Conscience
Lin Chuxia was worried that Qin Juan was constantly bullied by the Zhang Family and dared not tell the truth in front of everyone. Just as she was about to speak up for her, Qin Juan stopped her.
She stepped forward, straightened her back, dignified and unassuming, first looking at Zhang Wenbin, "You speak of past sentiment, and you even mention the time when we just got married. Zhang Wenbin, don’t you feel hypocritical when you mention these things? In your eyes, there is no affection, only interest and benefits. You treated me well when we just got married because I was of use to you. Now you bring up past sentiment here, isn’t it just to salvage your reputation and keep your job? Let me tell you, your hopes are misplaced today. The divorce, I am definitely going through with it..."
She paused here, her gaze sweeping over the faces of the Zhang Family one by one, finally stating resoundingly, "Ningning will not be without her mother."
"How dare you, Ningning is our Zhang Family’s child, don’t even think about taking her away."
Mrs. Zhang didn’t expect Qin Juan to be so ruthless.
These past days, she suffered day and night in the police station, holding her breath, thinking she must give Qin Juan a good talking-to once she’s out.
She also planned to assert her authority as a mother-in-law.
Wasn’t she the one who sent her to the police station to suffer?
Having been through suffering and even injuries, she would need to take good care of herself once she went out.
Let Qin Juan serve her well so she wouldn’t dare to make trouble anymore.
However, after coming out, not only did she fail to assert her status, but she also found her home in total disarray, waiting to be cleaned up.
Her son even told her that Qin Juan wanted a divorce, had already taken the proof from his workplace, and even ruined his job.
At that moment, Mrs. Zhang almost hated Qin Juan to death.
The more this happened, the less she could allow that wretch to divorce.
She wanted to leave after causing them such harm? No way.
When they came, the three of them had already decided: resolutely not to divorce, and moreover, to definitely keep Ningning’s custody in their hands; controlling Ningning meant controlling Qin Juan.
Even if Qin Juan truly got a divorce, with Ningning in their hands, she wouldn’t be able to live in peace.
"Where is Ningning? Where did you hide my granddaughter? She is our Zhang Family’s child, hand over my granddaughter."
Zhang Wenbin also noticed at this moment that Ningning was not there.
"Qin Juan, you have such a vicious heart, to actually prevent Ningning from seeing her father..."
Qin Juan no longer paid attention to the Zhang Family, she turned and said to her family, "It’s about time, let’s go inside."
The Qin Family were all very satisfied with Qin Juan’s attitude, especially Mrs. Qin – how much trauma does a divorce cause a woman?
Seeing her daughter has indeed overcome it, she felt relieved.
Seeing the Qin Family enter the courthouse in full force, leaving no room for negotiation, Zhang Wenbin’s face turned particularly gloomy.
"Qin Juan, you will regret this. After getting a divorce, you’ll be second-hand goods, who else would want you? Sooner or later you will regret this."
Mrs. Zhang, even more so, cursed fiercely, "You heartless little wretch, you had no job, it was our family who provided for you, and now you’ve messed up my son’s job and even want a divorce from him, do you have any conscience at all? This marriage cannot end, we will not consent..."
Her son is now without a job, with a ruined reputation; after the divorce who would marry her son?
She had been pampered over the years and didn’t want to go back to cooking and looking after the father and son again.
Mrs. Qin suddenly turned around, "The ones without conscience is your family, right? What did your family say when they came to our house? They would treat my daughter well, and now you dislike my daughter for not having a job, what were you doing before? A bunch of cold-blooded creatures, even if my daughter gets a divorce, she is still the precious treasure of our Qin Family, and if anyone will regret, it will be you. No, you won’t regret it, because you are heartless."
Mrs. Qin, who had been suppressing her anger all the way, gave them a piece of her mind, finally feeling satisfied seeing Mrs. Zhang’s face turning pale.
She then spoke to her whole family, "Let’s go, don’t stay here and listen to dogs barking, we’d better hurry up and get the divorce, to get further away from these cold-hearted creatures."
"Mom is right, sister, after the divorce, we’ll all have better days ahead," Lin Chuxia also added.
Gui Lan and Qin Han also chimed in, "As soon as we get the divorce certificate, I need to buy a couple strings of firecrackers to celebrate properly." freёnovelkiss.com
Seeing the Qin Family chatting and laughing, the Zhang Family was so angry they were practically fuming.
Although the divorce procedures were complicated, Qin Juan was well prepared, and the court quickly ruled in favor of the divorce.
When it came to the issue of property, Zhang Wenbin had been dismissed from his job, and their family housing would also be reclaimed by his employer. Qin Juan didn’t want any of the furniture or clothing, but neither did she want to give it to Zhang Wenbin for nothing, so she donated it all.
Next was the matter of Ningning’s custody. Zhang Wenbin firmly refused to budge; he had lost his job, and so had Qin Juan.
He had studied the case beforehand, knowing that under similar circumstances, if both parties wanted custody, traditionally, the court would favor the father.
Zhang Wenbin gave Qin Juan a cold look, intent on winning.
At that moment, Qin Juan spoke up. She had proof of employment, as well as proof from Qin’s Buns Shop and Xiyang Food Company.
After these evidences were presented to the judge, there was no further dispute, and the custody of Ningning was awarded to Qin Juan.
Qin Juan and Zhang Wenbin’s 8-year marriage was officially over.
The moment she received the divorce certificate, Qin Juan’s eyes teared up with emotion.
Lin Chuxia said, "Congratulations, big sister. Today is a good day; we really should celebrate properly."
"Right, let’s celebrate when we get home."
Qin Yang patted his older sister’s shoulder, offering comfort.
The whole family was happy and bustling onto bus 121.
Zhang Wenbin came out looking somber, only to see the Qin Family not only leaving, but doing so in a car driven by Qin Han.
"Son, how do they have a car?"
Before this, Mrs. Zhang had already been envious of Qin Yang riding a large motorcycle.
"How would I know? Maybe they borrowed it."
Though Zhang Wenbin said this, he knew well enough that borrowing a car like 121 wasn’t easy.
Qin Han drove it so skillfully, it was obvious that he was used to driving.
Mrs. Zhang then asked, "Son, is the divorce just going to be like this?"
She had been hoping her daughter-in-law would take care of her.
The two men at home didn’t know how to do any household chores; without a daughter-in-law, she would have to do the laundry and cooking.
"The court has ruled; what else can we do if not divorce?"
Zhang Wenbin knew what his mother was worrying about and reassured her, "Don’t worry, your son isn’t so hopeless as to not be able to find a woman. In a few days, I’m going to register for marriage with Wenhong."
Upon hearing that he was going to marry Li Wenhong, Mrs. Zhang hesitated, "I heard she was also dismissed from her civil position. Are you really going to marry an unemployed woman? In my opinion, it would be better to choose someone else. I remember Xiao Zhang from your unit is still unmarried—his dad is a deputy director..."
Zhang Wenbin ignored his mother and headed out.
His mother really dared to dream. Given his current situation, it was already good that Li Wenhong was willing to marry him.
Now that he was dismissed from his civil position, and their family housing was about to be taken back, they would all have to move back to An City.
Would the daughter of a deputy director be blind to marry him?
It was because his mother held such unrealistic fantasies and kept nagging him about Qin Juan’s faults that his attitude towards Qin Juan had changed.
Zhang Wenbin looked at the divorce certificate in his hand, feeling profoundly irritable.
