Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Stepping onto the Stairway of Fate

Xiao Qian heard his voice, gripping the phone tightly, but keeping her tone calm.
Okay.
In an hour, bring your mother to the District Court. My classmate will be waiting for you there. Hes a lawyer and will help you handle everything that needs to be done. Next, apply for an investigation order from the court to look into the outgoing funds in your fathers accounts. Leave all these matters to him.
Its actually a simple matter, but he has to make it so complicated. Xiao Qian muttered softly.
According to her plan, there was no need to go through all this trouble. Yu Minglang was too serious, insisting on using a legitimate approach to deal with the other party. Anyway, it was a matter of settling things, regardless of whether it was above board.
B0x.comAs a dignified woman, you must ensure that your words and actions are always within the scope of what the law allows, including obtaining evidence! Your method is absolutely unacceptable.
In fact, if Yu Minglang wanted to get Chen Lins records, it was just a matter of a few words. But he would rather go through the proper procedures, even if they were a bit complicated, and never do anything outside of the rules. He must make sure that his woman would be free of any problems in the eyes of the law.
Xiao Qian rolled her eyes, Alright, understood.
He was always serious when educating her on the law, which was really annoying.
Go ahead, my classmates name is Ya Ming. With him around, neither you nor your mother need to do anything. Just keep your aunts emotions stable, he instructed.
Yu Minglang! Xiao Qian called out to him.
Yes?
Is work busy?
Yes. He couldnt say more.
Xiao Qian knew that if it wasnt because he couldnt spare the time, he wouldnt miss this opportunity to show his face.
Thinking of his work, Xiao Qian added another sentence.
Stay safe.
There was no need for more words; this simple phrase was enough to convey her concern.
I will. He smiled, feeling much better.
As she hung up the phone, Xiao Qians smile lingered. Actually, he was quite reliable when it came to handling matters.
Although they spent little time together in their past life, it wasnt like how he took care of her now, with such thorough attention to detail.
In her past life, she remembered that by the time they met, she had already completed her doctorate, and was much older than she is now. Yu Minglang wouldnt treat her as meticulously as he does now, like an old mother taking care of every detail for her.
Xiao Qian thought she would be very resistant to this kind of little girl nurturing approach, as she was an independent woman. However, when these tricks were used on her, it felt not bad.
It could be because Yu Minglang handled things clearly without seeking credit, or because he fully considered her feelings, or perhaps it was just because the one doing these things was him.
Xiao Qian turned her gaze to her mother and saw Jia Xiufangs lost expression. She went over and sat down beside her.
Mom, lets divorce. Why are you still putting up with him?
Divorce! If I dont, I might as well have died in a car accident! Jia Xiufang didnt think before speaking, as she was still furious.
Xiao Qian wouldnt give her the chance to back down, and didnt want her to have time to think. She gathered Jia Xiufangs personal documents and took her out the door.
They took a cab to the city, and since they were early, Xiao Qian took Jia Xiufang to a boutique. As they looked at the high-end clothes, each costing at least one hundred yuan, Jia Xiufangs eyes were blank.
Xiao Qian took the opportunity to whisper, I wonder how much of our familys money ended up as clothes in Chu Xues wardrobe.
This sentence reignited Jia Xiufangs fighting spirit. She had spent all her money on her daughters college banquet and now owed her brother-in-law.
Shopping in a regular mall was very different from shopping at a night market.
Jia Xiufang stood in the beautifully decorated mall and looked at the expensive clothes. She stared at her and her daughters night-market clothes, thinking about Chen Lin saying that his ex-wife died in a car accident. She felt a suffocating sense of injustice as tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing her mother so upset, Xiao Qian felt a bit of heartache as well. The impact of this ordeal was enormous.
However, its better to suffer a short, intense pain rather than a long, drawn-out one. To move forward, they had to leave this rotten marriage behind. No matter how painful, this would only last for a year or two. Continuing this way, even a top psychological expert couldnt heal Jia Xiufangs heart.
Qianer, you must hate me, right? Im a useless mother who cant control a man. I made you suffer with me, Jia Xiufang looked at her daughters cheap night-market dress.
It cost thirty yuan, and even came with a pair of stockings.
Standing in the mall, their money couldnt even buy a tank top.
She had always taught her daughter to be frugal and self-sacrificing for the family, but now, the brutal reality was in front of her, and she felt sorry for her child. She shouldnt be raising her daughter with this mindset.
Xiao Qian patted Jia Xiufangs hand to comfort her.
Its okay, mom. You gave birth to me and raised me. Thats already more than enough. When I start working and making money, Ill buy you nice clothes. Who cares about having a man? Cant we live without one? Just wait, Ill make sure that all the other women are jealous of how well youre dressed, she assured her.
Jia Xiufangs tears, which she had just managed to hold back, started flowing again. Xiao Qian wiped them away for her.
Dont cry, so many people are watching.
Her own eyes had turned red as well.
In her past life, she had harbored so much hatred for everyone in her family, including her mother. But now, with a change in perspective, things might not be so terrible.
On second thought, her mother in her past life was kept in the dark about many things and simply followed Chen Lin blindly. By the end, Jia Xiufang had been driven out of the house with nothing, barely able to care for herself, let alone look after Xiao Qian.
Thinking of her mother from her past life, Xiao Qians eyes grew more determined.
Cherish life, stay away from scumbags. She would do what her mother couldnt!
Leading Jia Xiufang out of the mall, Xiao Qian checked the time, and took her across the street to the court. Seeing the court building, Jia Xiufang became nervous.
Qianer, why are we here?
Having been honest all her life, Jia Xiufang was afraid of places like this.
To file a lawsuit, for a divorce.
What? Jia Xiufang hesitated, trying to pull away from Xiao Qians grip, but was met with a fierce glare that silenced her.
What are you hesitating for? Hes treated you like this, and youre still so cautious? What if they take away our house, force me into that karaoke place, and only then you realize your regrets? Mom, look, what is that?
Xiao Qian pointed, and Jia Xiufang saw a karaoke place less than 500 meters from the court. Night Shanghai, these three words shone brightly in the sunlight.
Jia Xiufang shuddered, no longer resisting, and let her daughter drag her up the steps that would change their lives..
