It should have been thought of long ago.
Since Ye Zixun has been with Mu Jiao'er for so many years, how could they just separate?
There are still connections, and Mu Jiao'er will definitely not let them go easily.
Upon further reflection, if it weren't for Lan Baobao giving birth to Ye Zixun's child, it would probably be Mu Jiao'er who is now with Madam Ye.
It seems like Lan Baobao is the third party. But since she married Ye Zixun, why is Mu Jiao'er still clinging to him?
This pair of dog men and women really think they can bully me?
Damn it, don't they know who I am!
The more Lan Baobao thought about it, the angrier she became, and she threw her phone away in frustration. But soon, as if remembering something, she sheepishly picked it back up.
It seems that the only way to handle this situation is to ask her good friend for help.
So she dialed Li Xiaoran's number again.
On the other end, Li Xiaoran was also preparing to have a good talk with Lan Baobao. Just after finishing a shower and coming out of the bathroom, she saw the call from Lan Baobao. It seemed this girl was even more anxious than herself.
"What's going on? Darling, have you divorced or have you come to terms with wanting to stay with Ye Zixun? No matter what decision you make, I support you. But you need to think carefully about the consequences!" Li Xiaoran answered the phone while fiddling with her face mask.
She constantly reminded Lan Baobao that she, Li Xiaoran, was a good friend who would always stand by her side. However, at the same time, she was also reminding Lan Baobao that playing with Ye Zixun was not something she could afford.
Hearing Li Xiaoran's voice calmed Lan Baobao, who had been feeling uneasy. She suddenly felt grateful for having such a good friend by her side all these years. When she was betrayed by Yan Momo and Pan Xinzi, she was so heartbroken. If it weren't for the thought of having Li Xiaoran silently supporting her from behind, perhaps Lan Baobao would have already lost hope.
"Nothing much, still the same as before. Life is just like this—boring yet regrettable; I can't just stop living!" After regaining her composure, Lan Baobao said dejectedly, "But I really do need your help with something. I didn't want to trouble you at first, but now that it has come to this, I can't find anyone else to help me. Xiao Xiao, will you help me?"
Li Xiaoran was known for being loyal, especially to her close friends. This aspect was quite similar to Lan Baobao. Although both often made mistakes and messed things up, their hearts for justice had never withered.
"Whatever it is, leave it to your good sister. I, Li Xiaoran, will handle it without fail. Baby, just tell me!" Li Xiaoran said confidently.
"I talked to Ye Zixun about divorce again today, but he is unwilling to divorce me. Now the old man knows that I want a divorce, and it seems inappropriate for Ye Zixun to be with him. However, things are getting more and more complicated!" Seeing Li Xiaoran agree readily, Lan Baobao prepared to explain the whole situation from the beginning.
Then she paused and said, "Xiao Xiao, I remember that if two people want a divorce and the court finds one party cheating, won't they unconditionally grant custody of the child to the other party?"
Li Xiaoran's frequent blunders were no joke or slander. Just as Lan Baobao hadn't finished her sentence, Li Xiaoran seamlessly picked up the conversation.
"Hey, Lan Baobao, although we are good sisters, you can't put me in such an unjust position. I'm still a flower, you know? I can't seduce my good friend's husband. Even though Ye Zixun is handsome and wealthy, I have principles! Friends' husbands cannot be taken; he is a man of integrity!"
Lan Baobao felt helpless at her words.
Goodness, is this girl’s imagination too rich or is she overly confident in her charm? It’s really not good for her to not think seriously about anything until late at night.
No wonder she still doesn't have a partner.
Lan Baobao truly felt sorry for Li Xiaoran.
"My beautiful lady, can you please tone down your imagination? Can you let me finish my sentence first?" Lan Baobao said with a frown, shaking her head on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, okay, I won't express my imagination anymore. Hurry up!" On this side, Li Xiaoran had already applied her face mask, making it hard to see her expression, but one could sense her extreme narcissism.
"I was thinking, don’t you have a very impressive senior who studied law? I remember he is a talented and wealthy man! Can you introduce him to me?" Lan Baobao continued.
"Ah! My dear sister, has your head been kicked by a donkey? Or has Tang Yicheng made you so angry that your brain short-circuited?
I knew your brain wasn't very functional before, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. He already has a fiancée! You want to insert yourself into that situation? I'm worried you'll get sued by his fiancée! Lan Baobao, you can't just mess with men like that!
You should know that his wife is a big-time lawyer; you should be worried about being sued!" Li Xiaoran completely misunderstood Lan Baobao's intentions.
Lan Baobao felt equally helpless; it seemed like she couldn't even ask for a man's contact information if he had a fiancée.
And why was wanting to get in touch with a man such an unreasonable thing?
Lan Baobao didn’t understand when she started wanting to dig into that lawyer's territory. Li Xiaoran's imagination was indeed rich!
"Hey, hey, hey, Li Xiaoran beautiful lady, could you please be a little quieter? Listen to me, what I mean is..." Lan Baobao emphasized word by word, "I want to ask you to invite him to be my lawyer. I want to divorce Ye Zixun, and he can't refuse even if he disagrees!"
"Oh." It seemed that Li Xiaoran only understood at that moment. "No problem, leave it to me. I can help you contact him, but I don't know if that lawyer will take the case."
"Dear, you have to understand that this matter concerns Cloud Emperor and Ye Zixun. They are wealthy and powerful; not all lawyers dare to take on this case."
"Just rest assured about this matter for now. As long as he can help me take the case, I will definitely not treat him unfairly. I will pay him a sufficient lawyer's fee!"
"Ah, I have to say I'm impressed with you, baby. Sometimes, it's not just about money; it's about a career! But I think with your mindset, you might not fully understand this."
"In any case, whether this matter can succeed or not, I can't guarantee it. However, I will do my best to help you. I'll contact him first thing in the morning; wait for my news!"
"Okay, thank you, Xiao Xiao!"
Finally clarifying everything, Lan Baobao felt that it was indeed not easy for her.
After all that talking, her throat still felt a bit dry and uncomfortable.
"But..." Li Xiaoran nervously asked again, "Have you really thought this through? Whether this matter succeeds or fails is not just a trivial issue; you... you must think it through!"
Have I thought it through?
This was a question that Lan Baobao had been afraid to consider lately. She only wanted to rely on her current determination to push through this matter. If she thought too much about it, she feared she might back out at any moment since she had always been a woman of wavering resolve.
But...
But if this matter meant she was overthinking it, then it would mean that Ye Zixun truly liked her and loved her.
Then wouldn't that be a perfect way to test Ye Zixun?
"Don't nag. I'll consider these matters myself. You just need to help me get this done. Please don't overthink it!" Lan Baobao chose not to answer Li Xiaoran's question and instead urged her.
"Alright, I'll do my best to ask for you, but let me just say one more thing: you need to take care of yourself and don't be too hard on yourself." Seeing that Lan Baobao was unwilling to answer her, Li Xiaoran could basically understand her conflicting feelings, so she decided not to press further. Anyway, whatever decision Lan Baobao made out of boredom, she would silently support her from behind.
Silently supporting...
Was it similar to what Gu Feng did for Lan Baobao? If Lan Baobao and Ye Zixun really got divorced, would he immediately marry Lan Baobao?!
Lan Baobao was a good girl and deserved happiness. Gu Feng liked her because of her past kindness that saved his life. All of this was a reward that Lan Baobao deserved. It was no wonder Gu Feng liked her.
Thinking of this made Li Xiaoran's heart feel sour and uncomfortable. Just the thought of Gu Feng's face brought a bittersweet feeling. If Gu Feng could be happy, then she would be happy too.
Most importantly, Lan Baobao could also be happy.
"Baby, you... you must protect yourself. Whatever you want or don't want, make sure to think it through before making a decision.
As for what I want, it's just this much. You should consider it carefully. Get some rest; tomorrow morning, I'll help you handle those matters. Wait for my news."
Li Xiaoran's final reminder made her heart tremble. She forced herself to sound calm and cheerful on the phone with Lan Baobao. Ah, being a person is really difficult, and a triangular relationship is even more complicated!
Li Xiaoran didn't let Lan Baobao know her thoughts and still spoke in a very calm tone: "Baby, I will still help you with this matter! Don't worry!"
