Chapter 28 A One-Month Cooling Off Period
Mr. Qin, I am away on business. In this case, I'll have another partner from the law firm contact you.
The other party quickly replied to the message.
Although he was out of town, he also hoped to resolve this matter as soon as possible. After all, the client who had commissioned him this time was none other than the famous beauty and boss of the Four Seas Corporation.
If he couldn't handle it properly, wouldn't that tarnish his own reputation?
Okay.
After Qin Yu replied with a single word, he patiently began to wait.
No more than half a minute later, a call from an unfamiliar number came through: "Hello, Mr. Qin, I am Fang Lin, a senior partner at Bowin Law Firm."
"Um, I only have this afternoon free, let's expedite the process and handle the divorce," Qin Yu said calmly.
When he initially registered for the marriage certificate, he felt no ripples in his heart. Now, facing divorce, his heart was still undisturbed.
That wife registered in the family records was to him a complete stranger.
Since she had brought up the divorce herself, then so be it.
"Okay, Mr. Qin, please come to the Tingyu Ge Tea House. I am wearing a black suit and have short hair," said the woman, briefly describing her appearance.
"I'll be right there!"
After putting down his phone, Qin Yu looked up the location of Tingyu Ge Tea House on his mobile device, then rode his electric scooter over.
Half an hour later.
Qin Yu walked into the tea house, found the main hall empty, and proceeded to the second floor.
"Mr. Qin!"
Just as he reached the staircase, a capable and mature figure in a black suit stood up.
She extended her hand with a smile, "I am Fang Lin!"
"Hmm, Qin Yu!"
After a cursory handshake with the woman, seating himself, Qin Yu casually asked, "My wife wants a divorce, why not just go directly to the civil affairs office? Why involve a lawyer?"
"Uh... you don't know... about your wife's identity?"
Fang Lin looked slightly astonished.
"Heh, I don't know," Qin Yu said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.
"Oh... then let's skip that topic. Just look at the divorce agreement, and if there are no issues, sign it," Fang Lin suggested, clearly not intending to reveal her client's identity information.
As long as Qin Yu signed this divorce agreement, the law firm's mission would be accomplished.
There was no need to complicate matters further.
"Okay!"
Qin Yu picked up the divorce agreement and began reading. Simply put, after signing, the two of them could go their separate ways.
"Swoosh, swoosh..."
Having signed his name, Qin Yu asked, "Is this all right?"
"It's like this, Mr. Qin. According to the latest marriage law, after a divorce, there is a one-month cooling-off period. A month from today, take your marriage certificate to the civil affairs office, go through the process with your wife, and your marriage will be officially dissolved," Fang Lin explained after securing the divorce agreement.
"Understood!"
Qin Yu nodded, stood up, and walked out of the tea house.
Four Seas Corporation.
Yan Mingyu was on the phone with her grandfather.
"Look how dangerous this was for you. You almost couldn't make it back from Daming Mountain. It's better to live with your husband and have more children as soon as possible. If something were to happen to you one day, at least the Yan Family wouldn't end without a continuation, right?" the old man rambled on the phone.
"Grandpa..."
Yan Mingyu took a deep breath before speaking solemnly, "I am planning to divorce him!"
"Why? Don't you get along well with him... What I mean is, aren't you happy with each other?" the grandfather quickly corrected himself, nearly slipping up.
He had introduced Qin Yu to the Four Seas Corporation; how could he not know that the young couple actually spent every day together?
He was worried his granddaughter was resistant to the marriage and created opportunities for them to cultivate a relationship.
"Happy? I've only met him once, and he was cozying up to another woman. How could I be happy? Regardless, I can accept his ordinary background, that he's a delivery boy. But I can't accept his unfaithfulness, fooling around with other women!"
Yan Mingyu said angrily.
"Uh... Are we really getting divorced?"
The old man was also uncertain, after all, Qin Yu didn't know that his beautiful boss was actually his legally registered wife.
Maybe he couldn't help it, got tempted by another woman, and was just caught by his own granddaughter.
"Yes. Grandpa, don't worry about me, I'll handle it myself!"
Yan Mingyu said with determination.
"Well... okay then!"
If that kid Qin Yu really screwed up and his granddaughter wanted a divorce, as a grandfather, he couldn't force them to stay together, right?
It could only be said that the kid nearly missed his blessing to become the Yan Family's son-in-law.
"Alright, Grandpa, I'm busy with work."
Yan Mingyu hung up the phone.
At that moment, WeChat pinged with a message. It was from her hired lawyer, sending a photo with a message: President Yan, your husband has signed. Next month, on this day, you both just need to bring your marriage certificate and go through the last process at the civil affairs bureau.
Why?
Yan Mingyu frowned and sent a message back.
What, is there such a thing as half a divorce?
And we still have to wait a month?
"Uh... the new marriage law has set this up, right? There's a mandatory one-month cooling-off period for couples seeking a divorce."
The hired lawyer sheepishly explained.
Fine...
Yan Mingyu replied somewhat irritably.
Then, she threw her phone aside and started working.
Meanwhile.
Qin Yu had just returned to the urban village when his phone rang, a call from Su Meng.
"Hello, Su Meng?"
Qin Yu answered the call.
"Qin Yu... um, are you off work this afternoon?"
On the other end of the line, Su Meng's voice was a bit hesitant.
"Yes, what's up?"
Qin Yu asked, puzzled.
"Last... last time you mentioned you'd help me retrieve the things that perv secretly filmed... can you go this afternoon? I'm afraid you'll be too busy later and won't have time!"
Su Meng's voice was super soft.
Even through the phone, Qin Yu could imagine Su Meng's face blushing to the base of her neck in shame.
"Oh... I almost forgot. Sure, I'll go now!"
Qin Yu slapped his forehead and said.
"Thank you!"
Su Meng let out a sigh of relief.
"No problem, I'll contact you later!"
After finishing, Qin Yu rode his electric scooter out the door.
He found the cop from last time and asked for the specific address of the perv, who had stolen a few photos of Su Meng. It wasn't a big deal, but as a girl, she didn't want her photos in the hands of a perv.
He wanted to retrieve those photos from the perv.
The cop didn't think it was a big deal either and gave Qin Yu the perv's address, reminding him that if the other party refused to return them, the police could intervene, and he should avoid fighting and so on.
After leaving the police station, Qin Yu followed the address and arrived at a rental apartment near the urban village.
He went to the back door, kicked it open, and walked in.
"Damn!"
The perv, holding a plastic water bottle and puffing away, cursed as he heard the door being kicked open and was about to jump through the window.
"Think you can run?"
"Huh..."
Qin Yu let out a cold laugh, and with a flick of his foot, an empty bottle hit the perv on the back of his head.
"Ouch..."
The perv yelped in pain and fell to the ground.
Qin Yu walked over, stepped on his chest, and asked sternly, "Where's the stuff you secretly filmed? Bring it out!"
