Xia Fanxing was hung up on by Mu Hanchen once again.
She felt a sudden weariness in her heart.
Why did it seem even harder than getting married?
Xia Fanxing irritably threw away her phone.
But soon she picked it up again, she had to find a lawyer.
She had no idea if there was anyone in Hai City brave enough to take her case.
Just as she was at her wits' end, Lin Yao came back and was surprised to see Xia Fanxing at home so early, "Xingxing, you came back early today, aren't you training?"
"Yeah, I gave them half a day off, I need a rest too. Oh right, do you know any good divorce lawyers?"
"Divorce lawyer? Let me think... Wait, why are you suddenly looking for a lawyer, is that bastard Mu Hanchen refusing to divorce you?"
"Not exactly, I plan to meet with Mu Hanchen tomorrow to discuss the divorce agreement, it would be easier if I had a lawyer with me."
Lin Yao pondered thoughtfully, "Mm, you're right, what if Mu Hanchen has bad intentions and tries to trick you in the divorce agreement, hold on, I'll find someone for you right now."
She quickly found a suitable candidate in her circle of friends, "Do you still remember Tang Mei, the senior sister from the dormitory next to ours? She's now a senior lawyer specializing in divorce cases."
Tang Mei was a year ahead of Xia Fanxing and had been the star of the Law Faculty, a champion debater with limitless prospects.
It's just a pity that she got married and returned to her hometown to be a wife and mother only a year after graduating.
If Lin Yao hadn't mentioned it, Xia Fanxing might not have even known that Tang Mei had returned to the legal profession.
"Great, send me her WeChat, I'll contact her."
"No problem, I've already sent it, and I've also spoken to senior sister Tang Mei, so feel free to ask her anything you want to know."
Xia Fanxing added Tang Mei on WeChat, and she was quickly approved.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they got down to business.
When Tang Mei heard that Xia Fanxing's divorce involved Mu Hanchen, she couldn't help but be shocked, "The Mu Hanchen you're talking about, is it the Mu Hanchen I know?"
Xia Fanxing said in a calm voice, "If you're talking about the President of Mu Group, that's him."
Tang Mei still found it somewhat unbelievable, "Oh my god, Fanxing, you actually married him? How did I not hear a thing?"
Xia Fanxing did not wish to explain too much about the past, "Because of some special reasons, we didn't have a wedding, so only closer friends and relatives knew. But luckily, not many people know, which also means less impact when getting divorced."
Tang Mei realized she had said something inappropriate and not very professional, quickly composed herself, "I'm sorry, Fanxing, I was just a little too shocked. But if you really want to divorce, I can help you. You can tell me anything you need."
Xia Fanxing expressed her wishes plainly, "Mu Hanchen and I don't have children, and I don't need any marital assets. The house and car were originally his anyway, I don't want them either, I just want to get the divorce over with as soon as possible."
After hearing that, Tang Mei was shocked again. To her knowledge, Mu Hanchen's assets were beyond the scale of simple numbers.
Just a small fraction slipping through his fingers could provide for Xia Fanxing a carefree life.
And yet she wanted nothing.
It seemed that she had truly given up on this man, Mu Hanchen.
"Alright, I understand what you mean. I'll draft a preliminary divorce agreement for you to look over in a bit. If there are no issues, we can go directly to negotiate with Mr. Mu."
"Thank you, sister Tang, I appreciate it."
Xia Fanxing looked out at the darkening sky, feeling a touch of melancholy. By now, Mu Hanchen should have no doubt that she wasn't playing any tricks...
The next day.
Outside the Mu Group Building.
Tang Mei met with Xia Fanxing, holding the printed draft of the divorce agreement.
Before going in, Tang Mei confirmed the content of the divorce agreement with Xia Fanxing one more time, "Fanxing, are you really sure you don't want anything?"
The stock of Mu Corporation had risen quite a bit again today.
If you miss out on this, you'll really end up with nothing.
Although Tang Mei didn't know the exact reason why Xia Fanxing and Mu Hanchen were divorcing, she felt that it was a great loss for Fanxing to walk away with nothing.
With the widespread access to information nowadays, if a scandal about Mu Hanchen's marriage were to leak at this moment, framing Xia Fanxing as a victim, it could be used to sway public opinion.
Even with Mu Hanchen's strong team of lawyers supporting him, for the sake of the company's image and future development, any demand could be negotiated.
This was a common tactic used in divorce disputes amongst wealthy families.
They would slander and vilify each other, seeing who would cave under the pressure first, and that person would lose.
Xia Fanxing understood Tang Mei's thoughts and knew she was asking for her sake.
But she truly didn't want anything; she just wanted to leave with dignity.
Thinking this, Xia Fanxing laughed ruefully, "Just think of me as pretentiously noble if you like, I really don't want anything."
Tang Mei sighed, not insisting further, deciding to respect Xia Fanxing's wishes above all.
