Chapter 471. The feeling of being watched
"Mom, you and Dad got a marriage certificate outside, what are you afraid of."
"But I don't know whether China will recognize our foreign marriage certificate." Zhang Wenqin murmured with some concern.
"That's right, Mom. You are now Dad's legal wife. Even if the laws of China do not recognize you, the laws of foreign countries do. Let's find a lawyer and sue them now. I don't believe that foreign laws will not win over Chinese laws."
Fan Xing also came out to comfort his mother.
This family of four has lived abroad for a long time and has long regarded that country as their hometown. They even think that domestic laws are not worth mentioning, which shows their admiration for foreign countries to the fullest.
Until now, they still think that lawyers are not that important, and they are even less afraid since they have obtained a marriage certificate abroad. In Fan Shiqing's eyes, both Lin Shuyue and Zhang Wenqin are his wives, the only difference is that one is in China and the other is abroad.
One shared the domestic industry with him, and the other shared the foreign industry with him.
Two days later, when Zhang Wenqin received a message from Lin Shuyue asking for back the money that he and Fan Shiqing had spent on her during their marriage, she was not particularly scared.
It was not until Fan Xing handed her the message he found on Baidu on his mobile phone that a look of nervousness appeared on her well-maintained face.
"The country doesn't recognize marriage certificates obtained outside? How is that possible? No, we have to find a lawyer to find out."
In order to find out which country's laws should be followed when there is a conflict between the international marriage law and the domestic marriage law, the family of four went to a famous law firm in Jiangcheng for consultation.
Everyone in the legal profession had heard of this lawsuit, and when they entered the law firm, they were secretly stared at.
After finding their lawyer and listening to their words, he told them the truth: "Mr. Fan, I have heard a little about your case. To be honest, if your wife, or your wife who got married in China, really wants to repay all the money you spent on her in the past 20 years, she can get back her share.
Of course, if the children you and Ms. Zhang have born also file a lawsuit, you may get less back. After all, they are your own flesh and blood, and you have the obligation to support them.
Having said that, I heard that you haven't been back in the past 20 years, which means you don't care about your married children in China.
That is to say, Mr. Fan Che has almost no obligation to support you, and he can also demand that you, his biological father, pay the child support you owed during your minor years."
Zhang Wenqin's vision darkened again when she heard that. Didn't that mean that not only would they not be able to get much of the Fan family's money, but they would also have to pay it back to Lin Shuyue and her son?
At this time, Fan Shiqing also felt that something was wrong. He felt that he had taken things for granted before, thinking that as long as he could prove that he was the only heir to the Fan family, he could get back his share of the property.
Now, this has caused a counterattack from Lin Shuyue and her son.
"Lawyer, do you think there is any way to stop them from asking us for the money?
We can give them any amount, but we don’t want to let them and their son get away with it.”
The lawyer looked at Fan Shiqing and the others with some embarrassment: "Mr. Fan, if Madam Fan were to sue you in court, this matter would be a done deal. There is no doubt that they will win."
It’s not that he doesn’t want to make this money, but the other party is Lin Shuyue, the most powerful woman in Jiangcheng.
If he doesn't earn Fan Shiqing's money, it won't have any impact on his life, but if he offends Lin Shuyue, that would be a problem.
Although they are lawyers, lawyers are not omnipotent and still have to look at the faces of the rich.
And there was one more thing he didn't say. He knew very well that he was not divorced in China, but he registered his marriage with his mistress abroad. This is actually considered bigamy.
If Lin Shuyue continues to investigate this, both of them will probably have to go to jail for bigamy.
The family of four eventually left the law firm in a daze, but they still hired a relatively famous lawyer to defend them. Some people would do it for the money, but they were not optimistic about the outcome this time.
The lawyer advised them not to mention the fact that they had registered their marriage abroad. This way, at most the mistress would just have to pay back some money, but she would not go to jail.
When the couple heard that they would have to go to jail, how could they not listen to their lawyer?
When the family of four returned to their newly purchased villa, the servant told them that they had received a court summons.
What you fear will come true. The subpoena clearly stated that Zhang Wenqin and her mother and her two children must return every penny that Fan Shiqing had spent on them over the past 20 years.
At the end, they thoughtfully mailed them a letter with additional materials, which listed all the assets of Fan Shiqing's family of four abroad, with decimal points accurate to the cent.
Not only that, there was also a letter from Fan Che asking him to pay for the child support he had spent over the past 12 years until he reached adulthood, which was also a large sum of money.
Now it was Fan Shiqing's turn to go dark and pass out.
"Husband, husband, what's wrong with you?"
"Dad, Dad, don't scare us, hurry up and call an ambulance."
Fan Shiqing was not pretending this time, he was really angry.
Meeting Lin Shuyue and her son was the most unfortunate thing that happened to him in his life. If he had known this earlier, he would not have been so greedy and wanted to take back the Fan family's property.
As soon as Fan Shiqing was sent to the hospital, Lin Shuyue and her son got the news. They opened a bottle of red wine to celebrate and just waited for the trial to start.
Not long after Yun Jiuxi, the Gu family, the Chu family, and Su Wenting's family returned to Luocheng from Jiangcheng, Chu Huai started to behave strangely and was often missing.
Chu Yu didn't care at first, until one time when Chu Yu and Yun Jiuxi were staying at the Chu family and talked about something about the pills. They always felt like someone was staring at them and they felt uncomfortable.
Based on their previous experiences, they were certain that someone was monitoring them. At first they suspected it was the servants in the house because they were the easiest to bribe.
After trying a few times, I found that there was nothing wrong with the servants.
Because Chu Huai usually didn't live at home, the couple never suspected him.
It was not until this morning when Yun Jiuxi came back from outside and saw a servant carrying a bag of things passing by him that Yun Jiuxi saw a red light flashing in the garbage bag.
"Stop, what's that in your hand?"
The servant was called and stopped. He glanced at the garbage bag in his hand and then looked at Yun Jiuxi and said, "Miss Yun, this is the garbage I took out from the eldest young master's room."
