Chen Rong was startled by Zhang Chen's fierce gaze. He watched Zhang Chen's departing figure, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He slumped onto the sofa, staring blankly at the floor, filled with regret and unease.
Zhang Chen drove away from the community in a fit of anger, honking his horn repeatedly to vent his frustration. He never expected things would escalate to this point. He had thought that by discreetly selling the house, he could completely rid himself of Lu Jiajia and start anew, but now he had been discovered, and even worse, Lu Jiajia's parents had come knocking on his door. It was truly like lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot.
Upon returning home, Zhang Chen kicked the trash can out of his way. The plastic bin rolled over several times with a thud, spilling garbage everywhere and releasing an unpleasant odor.
"Do you still have the face to come back?" a sharp female voice came from the living room, filled with sarcasm and dissatisfaction. "Now that things have blown up, what do you plan to do?"
Zhang Chen's ex-wife, Chen Jie, sat on the sofa, stirring a cup of coffee slowly while coldly glaring at Zhang Chen as if he were a stranger.
Zhang Chen waved his hand impatiently and said irritably, "How was I supposed to know things would turn out this way? If you hadn't messed up initially and left so many loopholes, how could they have caught us?"
"I messed up?" Chen Jie slammed her coffee cup down with a loud bang, splattering coffee on the coffee table. "Who was it that swore that as long as I cooperated with you, we could get Lu Jiajia's house? Who said everything was handled perfectly and that we wouldn't be discovered? Now that something has gone wrong, you're pushing all the blame onto me. Do you have any conscience left?"
The more she spoke, the more agitated she became; her eyes reddened with indignation and anger.
Zhang Chen looked at Chen Jie’s hysterical state with annoyance. He snorted coldly and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. You just want to gain more benefits from me, right? Let me tell you, that's not going to happen!"
"Zhang Chen, you bastard!" Chen Jie could no longer control her emotions. She grabbed a cushion from the sofa and threw it at Zhang Chen. "You sweet-talked me into trusting you back then. Now that you've gotten what you wanted, you've turned your back on me. Are you even human?"
Zhang Chen caught the flying cushion and tossed it aside. He looked coldly at Chen Jie and said slowly, "What we had was merely mutual benefit. Now that the game is over, it's time for you to wake up."
With that, Zhang Chen turned and walked into the bedroom, slamming the door shut behind him.
In the living room, Chen Jie sat helplessly on the sofa, tears streaming down her cheeks. She knew that her relationship with Zhang Chen had come to a complete end.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Lao Lu couple returned home, still feeling unsettled. Lao Lu sat silently on the sofa, his brow furrowed, his eyes filled with sadness and anger.
Mother Lu comforted Lao Lu while scrolling through her phone. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Lao Lu, let's find a lawyer!"
Lao Lu looked up at his wife in confusion and asked, "Find a lawyer? What for?"
Mother Lu explained, "We don't know much about the law. We can't just let Jiajia's situation go. We need to consult a lawyer to see if we can retrieve Jiajia's house through legal means."
Lao Lu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, let's find a lawyer!"
The next morning, the Lao Lu couple arrived at a law firm.
"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, hello. I am Lawyer Wang," a middle-aged female lawyer greeted them warmly.
The Lao Lu couple detailed the entire situation to Lawyer Wang.
After carefully listening to their account and reviewing the relevant documents they brought, Lawyer Wang pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, based on the information you provided, Zhang Chen's actions may constitute fraud. You can file a criminal lawsuit in court and also initiate a civil lawsuit regarding the property issue to confirm ownership and demand that Zhang Chen return the property."
The Lao Lu couple exchanged glances filled with hope and spoke in unison: "Lawyer Wang, we would like to ask you to represent our case. We must seek justice for Jiajia!"
"Rest assured, I will do my utmost to protect your legal rights," Lawyer Wang promised solemnly.
A battle for real estate is about to begin...
