The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1652: Just Shut Up!

This was Lawyer Ye’s first time interacting with Ye Tian. Li Jinnan had warned him how difficult she could be to handle.

However, this was still the first time Lawyer Ye was interacting with someone this difficult.

Upon hearing her words, Lawyer Ye kept the polite smile on his face as he said, “Madam Ye, according to the law laid forth, your daughter and Mr. Li aren’t officially married yet. Hence, this relationship that you speak of does not exist.”

“What a joke!” Ye Tian exclaimed in disdain. “Haven’t you seen how much that brat is in love with my daughter? He’d walk through hell and back for her! It’s only a matter of time before they register their marriage officially! When that happens, all that belongs to them will become mine too! Is everything you’re saying what Li Jinnan told you to tell me?

Ye Tian had already drawn a conclusion with her words and rebutted, “This brat’s actions won’t do! How can he be this petty? It’s not a car after all, and not a very expensive one at that! If he’s going to be treating his mother-in-law this way now, what are we to expect in the future?”

Lawyer Ye could no longer maintain the smile on his face.

Throughout his many years in this profession, he had handled many cases, both large and small. It was, however, a rare occurrence for him to deal with a woman as unreasonable and self-entitled as this.

Lawyer Ye calmed himself down and patiently explained, “There is something that you might have misunderstood. Other than the fact that they are not officially married yet, there is something else I think I need to inform you of.”

Ye Tian grew impatient and waved her hand at him, “Out with your bullsh*t!”

“This car is not under Mr. Li Jinnan’s name. It is registered to his brother, Li Beixing.”

“And?” Ye Tian clearly thought nothing of it.

“In other words, Mr. Li Jinnan will have to compensate his brother for the cost of this $140,000 sedan. Since you’re the person responsible for the damage, the compensation fees will naturally have to be borne by you.”

“Bull! I’m not paying sh*t!” Ye Tian was incensed and loudly argued, “I had an agreement with Li Jinnan that he would take care of the repair fees. Additionally, he would also have to pay me that amount! I’m here to collect that money! Don’t you try to deceive me! When that rascal Li Jinnan finally gets here, you’ll be in for it!”

When Lawyer Ye heard that, he replied, “Madam Ye, according to Mr. Li’s statement, he does indeed need to pay you that amount.”

“It’s good that you know! So just shut up now. You’re annoying!”

Lawyer Ye was irate at being yelled at, but he maintained his patient façade and replied, “The car is already on the verge of being scrapped. The paint that you splashed on it not only destroyed the exterior of the vehicle, it also smashed the windows of the car damaged all the seats inside. The price of the car in the market today is $140,000. The repair costs will come to nearly $100,000, and that’s excluding the cost of insurance servicing in the future. So...”

“Just shut your mouth! Li Jinnan already promised me! I have the audio recording here!”

Ye Tian retrieved the audio recorder in her hand and pushed the playback button.

The voice wasn’t soft. Lawyer Ye could hear it clearly. “I, Li Jinnan, have promised Madam Ye Tian today that I will give her $140,000 as a bride price for Ye Youyou. If I go back on my word, I’ll get struck by lightning and die a horrible death!”

The weight of these words spoken aloud was heavy.

Lawyer Ye nodded his head and said, “I see that it is meant as the bride price for marrying Miss Ye. That is a large sum indeed.”

“Of course!” Ye Tian looked very satisfied with herself and said, “That’s my son-in-law we’re talking about!”

Lawyer Ye nodded his head and reminded her, “However, Mr. Li never mentioned anything about not having you pay any compensation for the car in that recording.”
