Qin Juan’s return was beyond Lin Chuxia’s expectations. When she returned from shopping with Ningning, Qin Juan had already come back, bringing along a certification issued by Zhang Wenbin’s workplace leaders.
"Big sister, you’re amazing! I was thinking if it didn’t work out today, we’d go back tomorrow. You could have Qin Yang go with you. It looks like there’s no need for a prolonged battle. Didn’t their leaders try to persuade you?"
Normally, regardless of the fuss Qin Juan made today, as workplace leaders, they wouldn’t lightly agree to a divorce. There still should be some persuasive efforts.
Qin Juan, truly feeling relieved, even snorted at the mention.
"Their leaders now feel disgraced, having such a scandal in their unit. But after all, thanks to Jia Liang, this move was something no one anticipated," and it completely disgusted Zhang Wenbin’s workplace leaders.
"Today, I also heard about the decisions regarding Zhang Wenbin: seems like they want to dismiss him from public service. The same goes for Li Wenhong. Now, both are like rats across the street, hiding at home, too ashamed to see anyone."
"Some people can’t hide, even if they are ashamed. If I recall correctly, Old Master Zhang and Mrs. Zhang will be released in these next two days. Big sister, you and Ningning stay at home for a few days. Once things settle down, then go work at the Bun Shop."
She is not worried about big sister’s susceptibility to influence but fearful that the Zhang Family might desperately try to drag others down with them.
Qin Juan understands Lin Chuxia’s concerns and nods, saying, "I understand, sister-in-law, I’ll listen to you."
With the certification from the workplace leaders, the rest should be easy. Qin Yang directly accompanied Qin Juan to file for divorce at the courthouse, regardless of Zhang Wenbin’s unwillingness, this marriage had to end.
Soon, the court set a date for the session.
On the day of the hearing, Lin Chuxia arranged for Ningning to stay at the Bun Shop, asking Jia Liang and Gao Lele to help care for her, while the three of them went to the courthouse.
Arriving at the courthouse entrance, they saw from afar Qin Han’s car, number 121, and the Qin Family standing beside it.
Qin Juan stopped in her tracks and unmistakably looked towards Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia.
Qin Yang said, "I called mom and dad here. Big sister, with such matters occurring, you should have talked to the family earlier."
Now that a divorce is imminent, should it still be kept from the family?
Qin Juan was still unsure how to speak to the family when Mrs. Qin, with tears in her eyes, came over.
Without a word, she clapped a hand on Qin Juan’s shoulder, "Child, how could you not tell the family about such grievances? Are you trying to gouge out my heart? If your brother and his wife hadn’t come to the city, how long were you planning to keep this from us?"
"Mom..."
Qin Juan, starting to speak, was already sobbing.
Mrs. Qin tightly embraced her, tears uncontrollably streaming down, "You’ve endured so much yet didn’t tell me; do you want to drive me to death?"
"Sorry, mom..."
Mr. Qin, Qin Han, and Zhang Guilan also came over. freewёbnoνel.com
"Alright, no more crying. Today, no matter what, we’re going to get you this divorce. Even if you remain unmarried for life and stay with mom and dad, I won’t let you remain in that household."
