Chapter 17: One Voice, One Harmony, Perfect Coordination

Warm milk was prepared by Qin father, the heart‑shaped egg was fried by Qin's eldest son, the sandwich was made by Qin's second son, the two grilled sausages were grilled by Qin's third son, and he also roasted six egg tarts on the side.

"If you can't finish the egg tarts, just leave them," Qin third said.

"Alright, third brother."

Xie Wantang followed the order, first drank a little less than half a cup of milk, then ate the fried egg, then the sandwich, and finally ate the grilled sausages and two egg tarts.

Her appetite remained excellent.

Four egg tarts were left to share with her father and brothers.

After finishing breakfast, the servant came to clean up, and Qin father led them to the living room.

"Mother said Tang Bao wants a divorce, our whole family supports it, this matter will be handled by the eldest, we must secure everything she deserves," Qin Siyuan spoke first.

"Dad, there's nothing to fight for, I just need a clean break, that's all," Xie Wantang said; she only needs Lu Yanshen's agreement to the divorce.

"On what grounds a clean break? Did you do something wrong, or cheat?" Qin third instantly got angry; "Our Qin family's obedient treasure, why should she endure such grievance?"

Can't it be a little bit of grievance.

Moreover, Tang Bao married a Lu for three years; in the first year she helped him stand up from a wheelchair; because of that, that Lu should give all his assets to our family's obedient treasure, then that kid should get a clean break.

Even if neither did anything wrong, but his family's obedient treasure doesn't want to maintain this marriage, then it's half each for the couple.

How can one just get a clean break? Let that kid take all the cheap stuff?

When their natal family has no one left?

"Third brother, why are you speaking like that?" Qin Siyuan cleared his throat, scolding low.

Can Tang Bao cheat?

"Dad, I'm wrong." Qin third immediately obediently admitted fault.

"Tang Bao, what's the difficulty in your divorce?" Qin Muyang asked calmly.

Tang Bao just said a clean break is fine, so the divorce should be very simple.

Only need both sides to sign a name, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle the paperwork.

Tang Bao shouldn't be coming home now to bring reinforcements.

"Lu Yanshen refuses to sign, he seems unwilling to divorce." Xie Wantang's eyebrows twitched; she had thought for several days without understanding why Lu Yanshen wouldn't sign.

"Why unwilling? Does he know you're pregnant?" Qin Siyuan asked quickly.

"What? Pregnant?" The three Qin brothers said in unison.

Qin Siyuan: ……

Forgot, these three stinky kids still don't know about Tang Bao's pregnancy.

"Pregnant and still want divorce? What's the reason?" Qin eldest spoke again, his tone much colder.

Originally, he was quite supportive of Tang Bao's clean break, but now, not supportive.

"He had a mental affair, there was evidence, but I forgot to screenshot, now it's gone, deleted." Xie Wantang was also depressed; if she had saved the screenshot then she wouldn't have to return to Sijiucheng after going home.

"Mental affair? That means he's keeping a woman outside?" Qin third raised his voice again, "That Lu brat, bold indeed."

"She was his childhood sweetheart, also his first love, more than that she was his unattainable First Love, I can't match her, I concede."

Xie Wantang really intended to concede.

Can't match, so she won't try.

"Heh—" several men sneered simultaneously.

"Eldest, we must strip that kid's skin, must make Tang Bao divorce, but can't let that kid off easily," Qin Siyuan said to Qin eldest.

Qin Muyang nodded, "Dad, I know the situation."

Then to Xie Wantang: "Tang Bao, this time, I'll go with you to Sijiucheng."

"We're going too," Qin second said in unison; they also want to escort.

"You two don't need to join the fuss; your big brother can go, that Lu is just a petty thug, no need the whole family to intervene," Qin Siyuan's tone was contemptuous.

A petty brat, where does he need the whole family to battle?

He doesn't deserve it.

If he truly deserved, Tang Bao wouldn't have married him for three years, and still wouldn't want to bring his family to meet each other.

At this moment, Xie Wantang's phone rang; it was Lu Yanshen calling.

Looking at the father and brothers opposite, Xie Wantang stood up and walked to the window to answer.

"Hello, what's up?"

"Rou Rou is fine now, our evening flight returns, we can arrive tomorrow night."

"Hmm, I might not go back tomorrow night; if you need anything, call the steward and Li Ma."

"You're not at home?" Lu Yanshen's sword‑like eyebrows knit.

"Yes, not at home."

"Back to the Xie family?" Lu Yanshen originally wanted to ask if she was back to her maternal home, then suddenly remembered her relationship with her parents and sister wasn't good.

"Back to my maternal home, Haishi's maternal home."

"……"

Her foster parents' home?

"Anything else? If not, I'll hang up."

"When will you return?"

"Soon, bring a lawyer here; if Lu Zong insists on not signing, I'll have to bring Haishi's best lawyer over to help me."

"……"

Lu Yanshen fell silent again, however, Xie Wantang didn't wait for his reply and hung up.

"That petty brat still has the nerve to call? What did he say to you?" Qin third, the most impatient, asked.

His sister was kidnapped in Milan, but she's fine now; he told me he's preparing to return to Sijiucheng and should arrive tomorrow night.

Then we'll go to Sijiucheng early the day after tomorrow," Qin Muyang said.

All right, big brother, I'll follow your lead.

……

Sijiucheng.

After leaving the airport, Xie Wantang first accompanied Qin Muyang to the five-star hotel he had booked in advance.

At the hotel front desk, Xie Wantang ran into Xia Meng.

She stood beside a big-bellied man, whose gropey hand unintentionally rubbed against Xia Meng's A4 waist.

Despite that, Xia Meng's face still beamed with a smile.

I don't know if it was Xie Wantang's gaze being too special or Xia Meng being too sensitive, but Xia Meng suddenly turned around and then saw Xie Wantang, as well as Qin Muyang beside her.

Xia Meng knew Qin Muyang, one of the nation's top ten lawyers, who had held the number-one spot for three consecutive years.

His annual salary starts at nine figures.

As long as the client can pay, he takes any case, and any case he takes is absolutely guaranteed to win.

Xie Wantang being with him—could she have hired him to help her discuss divorce with Lu Yanshen?

Isn't that overkill?

It seems her determination to divorce is truly strong.

"MrsLu—" Xia Meng greeted Xie Wantang proactively, meanwhile sidestepping the fat man's gropey hand.

"Miss Xia." Since everyone was calling her that, Xie Wantang naturally responded.

But it was still the first time she heard Xia Meng call her MrsLu.

The sarcasm in that title is utterly undisguised.

"What a coincidence?" Xia Meng continued to smile, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the ascetic male god Qin Muyang beside her.

"Lawyer Qin? What a coincidence." The fat man instantly recognized Qin Muyang, shoved aside the blocking Xia Meng, walked over, and greeted Qin Muyang.

"Who are you?" Qin Muyang asked coldly, unfamiliar with both the man and woman before him.

"Um, I'm from Starlight Group, surname Mao." The man introduced himself.

"I don't know you, Miss Xie. I'll go up first; let's schedule another time." Qin Muyang turned and said to Xie Wantang.

"All right, Lawyer Qin, rest first; we'll stay in touch by phone."

The two siblings, in front of outsiders, played off each other seamlessly, showing great tacit understanding.
