Chapter 176; He and she will be engaged to get married!(1/2)
"By the way, country, please send me your lawyer's number. I happen to have time today and can talk to him."
Now that things have reached this stage, she doesn't know when he will submit an application to the court to change custody, so before then, she needs to be prepared.
"Okay, I'll send you his number right away." Shan Guoguo hung up the phone.
Within a few seconds, a ringtone came. Ye Ziqing knew it was a text message, opened it, and then dialed the number.
Coincidentally, the lawyer did not go to work in the afternoon. After hearing what she said, he readily agreed and the location was set at a nearby coffee shop. After waiting for more than half an hour, Lu Xiangming walked towards her.
The middle-aged man, who looks to be in his forties, is dressed simply, with white short-sleeves and black trousers, giving him a very capable and serious look.
The two sat for a while, and the topic they focused on was Xuanxuan's custody.
Lawyer Lu Xiangming did not hide it from her, because the other party was Mr. Shen, so he asked her to be mentally prepared, and her chances of winning custody rights were only 30%.
Thirty percent is indeed very low...
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when she came out of the coffee shop. Ye Ziqing's mood was indeed a little affected, and her confidence was much lower than she expected.
Without stopping on the street, she rushed back to the apartment. Xuanxuan was sitting on the sofa watching TV. When she saw her walking in, she threw away the remote control, twisted her butt, ran into the room, and closed the door with a clang. .
Sister-in-law Li was cleaning the living room and said helplessly, "Miss Ye went out today while the young lady was not awake. She dislikes you for not having her and is losing her temper right now."
Ye Ziqing smiled; "You have a pretty bad temper."
"Children are like that. When they wake up and don't see Miss Ye, they clamor for mommy. It's not until the cartoon starts that they change their attention." Sister-in-law Li also laughed.
"Sister-in-law Li is busy first, I'll go and coax you." Ye Ziqing chuckled and said while standing outside the door, knocking lightly on the door, deliberately making her voice rough to imitate Xiong Er's voice; "Xiong Da, I am Xiong Er, the bald Qiang is here, please help me!"
But Xuanxuan, who has always been keen on playing this game, was indifferent. It was obvious that the little girl was angry!
"Xuanxuan, won't you open the door? Mommy is going to make wine now, do you want to come and help?" She deliberately seduced the little girl.
Sure enough, after a while, the door of the room opened a crack, and Xuanxuan's little head peeked out; "Want to make wine?"
"Well, do you want to come together?" She naturally knows exactly where the little girl's weakness is. After all, she knows her son better than her mother.
"Yes!" She couldn't wait to open the door, and Xuanxuan walked out happily. All the things she was angry about just now seemed to have been completely forgotten; "Mommy, come on, let's make wine!"
As she said that, her white and tender little hands took Ye Ziqing's hand and led her eagerly outside.
Ye Ziqing patiently taught Xuanxuan how to soak the grapes, and then the two of them rinsed the grapes carefully.
Learn from Mommy.
It was only six o'clock when Shen Shaoting returned to the apartment. He looked at Sister-in-law Li who was cleaning the living room and raised his handsome eyebrows, "Where are they?"
Sister-in-law Li naturally knew who he was referring to and replied, "In the kitchen."
Turning around, he moved his long legs and walked into the room. The mother and daughter were facing away from him, squatting on the ground, not knowing what they were doing.
Hearing the footsteps, Xuanxuan turned around and smiled broadly, "Uncle, mommy and I are making wine, do you want to come with us?"
Shen Shaoting glanced at the figure who was still facing away from him, twitching his thin lips and questioning, "Can you drink the wine made by your mommy?"
"You can drink it! Mommy said it tastes very good!" Xuanxuan was full of confidence in her mother and absolutely believed it; "Uncle, come too."
His eyes were still fixed on the woman who didn't even look back. He walked over and walked over. Xuanxuan's childish voice was full of enthusiasm and picked up a bunch of grapes to demonstrate to him; "Uncle, let me teach you." , you have to do this, this, and then this again..."
Such a unique example made Shen Shaoting's eyebrows twitch slightly, and he hugged his little body into his arms; "You come and teach me daddy..."
Picking up a bunch of grapes and handing them to him, Xuanxuan looked as serious as a little teacher; "Mommy said you can't break the skins of the grapes, and you can't wash off the white stuff."
Listening to the voices coming from beside her, Ye Ziqing's eyebrows moved slightly, but her men were still busy and did not raise their heads.
When the basin of grapes was almost washed, she raised her eyes and glanced over them accidentally, only to see that many of the grape bunches in their hands had broken skins, and even the grape juice was leaking out.
As if she thought it was not too lively, Xuanxuan picked up the juice of the grape with her white and tender hands, then put it on Shen Shaoting's face, rolled it up and down, and said with her little mouth: "Uncle, don't move, I'll give it to you massage."
The eyebrows were raised, and Shen Shaoting's handsome face was a little dark. Seeing this, Xuanxuan was a little scared and did not dare to do anything else.
The next second, Shen Shaoting curled his lips and picked out one of the grapes that Ye Ziqing had washed with his slender fingers, peeled off the grape skin, and stuffed it directly into Xuanxuan's short sleeves.
There were still water drops on the grapes, sliding through the clothes. Xuanxuan's little body was twisting in a mess, but her little mouth was giggling. She also followed his example, grabbed a handful of grapes from the water, and stuffed them all into her. In black silk shirt.
Some grapes fell into his clothes, while others fell to the ground along his strong thighs from his straight suit pants.
Xuanxuan danced and jumped happily. She accidentally stepped on the grapes and twisted them into a mess.
The clean and tidy kitchen turned into a mess in an instant, and the feet were even more messy and dirty. Ye Ziqing frowned and lowered her voice: "Get out!"
The sudden sound made Xuanxuan flinch slightly and became quiet, but she did not forget to shirk responsibility. She tugged on Shen Shaoting's suit pants with her small hands; "Uncle, Mommy asked you to go out!"
"Little traitor!" Shen Shaoting narrowed his eyes, pretending to be angry.
"Huh! I'm not a little traitor. My uncle started it first, and then I followed him." She wrinkled her cute little nose and retorted dissatisfied.
The grapes that had been trampled under their feet had become increasingly dirty. Ye Ziqing looked at Xuanxuan and said in a deep and serious voice, "Get out of here too!"
Xuanxuan felt aggrieved, lowered her head, and held her two little hands. She looked really innocent and cute.
His thin lips were raised slightly, Shen Shaoting's tall body was slightly bent, and he held Xuanxuan in his arms with his big palm, and his flexed fingers flicked her smooth little forehead; "You are disliked, huh?"
Without saying anything, Xuanxuan pouted her little mouth in grievance. Looking at that little appearance, Shen Shaoting smiled, her deep eyes swept over Ye Ziqing, and then said to Xuanxuan, "Is mommy as fierce as a tigress?"
Looking at Mommy cautiously, Xuanxuan then twisted her little body and hugged Shen Shaoting tightly, her little head nodding like a chicken pecking at shrimps; "Like a tigress, uncle, hurry up!"
Looking at Ye Ziqing with a hint of provocation in his eyes, Shen Shaoting couldn't help but chuckle, his handsome face showing gentleness and a happy expression.
There were no words, and Ye Ziqing didn't talk nonsense to him. When she saw the provocative yet slightly proud look, she scooped up a glass of water from the basin and poured it directly at him.
With bright eyes and a faster body, Shen Shaoting hugged Xuanxuan's body and quickly walked out of the kitchen with a smile on his lips.
After the two of them walked out, Ye Ziqing gritted her teeth slightly, bent over, and cleaned up the mess on the ground. They really shouldn't have been allowed into the kitchen!
In the living room, Shen Shaoting's body was leaning on the sofa, while Xuanxuan was hanging on him like a monkey, her little hands kept pressing the remote control.
Seeing this, Sister-in-law Li smiled, the relationship between Mr. Shen and the young lady has eased a lot now.
When she walked to the kitchen, she saw Ye Ziqing squatting on the floor and tidying up, and she quickly said, "Miss Ye, I'll tidy up."
"It's okay, I'll do it. My hands are already stained, so I'd better do my best to get them dirty."
Knowing that some of the questions were beyond her ability to ask, Sister-in-law Li still couldn't help her curiosity and asked, "Why did Miss Ye divorce Mr. Shen in the first place?"
She thought the two of them were a good match. Besides, they had Xuanxuan and they seemed to be a happy family. But why did they get divorced?
Hearing this, Ye Ziqing's movements in her hands paused for a moment, then returned to normal, and said indifferently, "Just leave like that."
Sister-in-law Li didn't ask any more questions, she just felt sorry for the two of them.
Here, in the living room, Xuanxuan couldn't calm down. Shen Shaoting was leaning there while reviewing documents. As soon as her little body moved, she sat directly on his chest, twisting left and right, and feeding Eat grapes with him.
When Ye Ziqing walked out of the kitchen, he saw this scene. Then, as if there was something wrong with the company's contract, he put Xuanxuan on the sofa with a dark expression, his eyes swept over her body, and pulled her Thin lips, low but soft words: "You stay in the apartment with Xuanxuan, I will be back after a while..."
Ye Ziqing's heart moved slightly, as if a stone had been thrown into the calm water, causing light ripples. Her eyes swept over him coldly, but she said nothing.
Even if he didn't say anything, she would stay in the apartment with Xuanxuan.
But when he said those words, it was like a husband going out to explain family matters to his wife. Their relationship and situation were not suitable for saying such words!
After he left, Ye Ziqing sat on the sofa and saw Xuanxuan playing a puzzle, and the pattern was Bald Qiang.
"Who bought it for you?" she asked curiously.
"uncle."
Ye Ziqing bent down, picked up the map board that had fallen to the ground, and explained, "IQ means you can become smarter."
Nodding her little head in sudden realization, Xuanxuan blinked her eyes; "Mommy, does uncle think I'm stupid, so that's why he gave me puzzles?"
The corner of her mouth moved slightly, and when Ye Ziqing was about to speak, the door of the apartment was pushed open, and footsteps were heard. Instinctively, she turned around and looked back. However, when she saw the person coming, her brows instantly frowned.
Unexpectedly, nearly four years later, the two would meet in this way.
Xuanxuan was also a little old, and when she saw that it was the grandma who came last time, she narrowed her eyes and called out sweetly, "Grandma."
There was no response. Su Lan's delicate eyebrows were raised upwards. When she saw Ye Ziqing, the look on her face immediately changed, and her words were full of disgust; "Why are you here?"
"My daughter is here, so of course I am here too." Ye Ziqing also looked at her coldly, not having any good impression of her.
"Ye Ziqing, are you still so stubborn? Four years ago you couldn't take the position of the Shen family's young daughter-in-law, and it will be the same four years later. Do you think that if you use your children to play the family card, Shaoting will be fooled?"
Hearing this, Ye Ziqing only felt funny; "Mrs. Shen, can I advise you not to be so self-righteous? Is it me who is using my child to play the family card, or is Shen Shaoting deliberately taking the child away from me? You have nothing to do with it." It’s really annoying to say something like this after you understand it clearly!”
"We haven't seen you for four years, but your mean demeanor has not changed at all. Instead, it has only gotten worse!" Su Lan said coldly; "Do you think I will believe what a scheming woman like you says?"
"It's okay if you don't believe it. How about we make an agreement?" Ye Ziqing's eyes flickered, and a dark light flashed quickly.
"What tricks do you want to play again?"
Smiling softly, Ye Ziqing said slowly, "Your position in S City, Mrs. Shen, is a powerful one. What tricks can I play under your nose? It's just that the content of the agreement I proposed will not harm Mrs. Shen at all." Don’t want to listen?”
Su Lan looked at her warily; "Say."
"Let's make an agreement like this. If Mrs. Shen can let her son give up the permanent custody of Xuanxuan, then I will take Xuanxuan out of S City and never appear in front of anyone in the Shen family. ,how?"
Ye Ziqing also had her own wishful thinking in mind, and it would be a good idea to start with Su Lan.
After staring at Ye Ziqing for several seconds, Su Lan snorted coldly, "Why should I trust you? Then again, I won't trust you even if I trust you!"
She couldn't agree for two reasons. The first reason was that she didn't know what Ye Ziqing was thinking or calculating.
In addition, there is a second reason. She clearly sees Shaoting's feelings for this child. If Shaoting finds out, the consequences will be disastrous!
