Mr. Fu, please stop being abusive. Madam has already signed the divorce papers.

Chapter 581 Consult a Lawyer

Xie Mu handled the hospitalization procedures for his father, Xie Lao Da, and brought two lunches with him.

Not long after returning, Boss Xie woke up.

"Dad, are you finally awake? Are you feeling unwell?"

Boss Xie blinked in confusion. He could hear the voices and sounds from the bed next to him. He looked around and the memories before he fell into a coma gradually emerged in his mind.

He was sitting in the sentry box when he suddenly received a call from the second brother.

He wondered what the second brother wanted to talk to him about, but as soon as he answered the phone, he was bombarded with criticism from the second brother, saying that Xiao Mu was shameless and seduced his brother-in-law, that he couldn't bear to see his younger brother enjoying such a good time, and that he deliberately instigated Xiao Mu to destroy Min Min's family, and so on.

Naturally, Big Brother Xie didn't believe it, so he started arguing with the Second Brother.

Unexpectedly, the second brother's words became more and more unpleasant. Big Brother Xie was not good at talking but couldn't defeat him. He was so angry that he suddenly passed out.

"I feel a little dizzy. What's wrong with me?" Boss Xie said slowly.

"The doctor said that you fainted due to high blood pressure, which was related to anger. Dad, you should be more careful in the future and not get so angry."

Boss Xie was helpless. "You know your uncle's words are harsh. Oh, he said what's going on between you and...your brother-in-law?"

"That's not true. Xie Min made it up," Xie Mu consoled him. "Manager Fu will clarify this matter. Don't think about it anymore. Just take care of your health."

As for Xiaoheng's background, let's wait until Dad is better before telling us, so that he won't get angry after knowing what happened that night.

"That's good," said Boss Xie happily, "Destroying other people's families is bad for one's virtue. We can't do that."

"Don't worry, I know."

"Minmin's behavior is not right. She is divorcing her boyfriend. What does it have to do with you? Next time I see her, I will have to give her a good talk!"

Xie Mu looked at Mr. Xie's angry look and smiled, "Okay, okay, you'd better not think about it anymore. You'll get angry again."

According to the doctor's instructions, Mr. Xie can only eat after two hours.

After he finished his meal, Xie Mu went home and packed two sets of clothes and daily necessities for him.

When she came back, she looked at the push message on her phone. Fu Sheng acted quickly and had issued a statement in his personal name.

"Xie Min and I divorced because of a breakdown in our relationship. There was no cheating. I have filed a private criminal complaint for defamation with the Jiangcheng People's Court. I hope Ms. Xie Min can face the facts."

The accompanying picture is the complaint.

Later, Fu’s official Weibo reposted his Weibo and commented: Xie Mu passed the written test and interview of our company’s campus recruitment, and entered our company for internship through formal procedures. The internship ended in early September. There was no illegal behavior such as using connections. Our company welcomes all students to come to our company for internship, and outstanding students will be given priority admission after graduation.

"Oh? Defamation? It's a little credible. Let's wait and see what happens next."

"Everyone, be rational and don't take sides so quickly. The woman has no evidence, only a short essay."

"Although, the man shouldn't be able to divorce the child while she's breastfeeding, right? Is there anyone who knows the law who can tell me?"

"Divorce is not allowed within six months of breastfeeding, unless the woman is seriously at fault or she asks for it. Even if you didn't cheat, so what? Divorce during breastfeeding is wrong!"

"Let me make a guess. It's common sense that you can't get a divorce during breastfeeding. The woman could have used this as an excuse, but she didn't. Instead, she accused the man of cheating (without evidence). Could it be that she really did something wrong and couldn't prevent the divorce, so she did this?"

"They've started to spread rumors about the victim again. Whether it was cheating or divorce during breastfeeding, it's all Fu Sheng's fault. Why are they trying to clear themselves of the truth?"

……

The topic thus skewed from Fu Sheng's cheating to divorce during breastfeeding, and Xie Mu also withdrew from the center of public opinion.

But Fu Sheng did not respond further.

When Xie Min saw Fu Sheng's response, she felt a little panicked.

She was already prepared. When Fu Sheng responded that he had not cheated, she would post the paternity test of Fu Heng and Xie Mu and Fu Sheng.

But she didn't expect Fu Sheng to sue directly.

Xie Min hurriedly sought advice from a lawyer.

"...Will I go to jail?" she asked worriedly.

The lawyer took a general look at the situation and said, "Defamation itself is a relatively minor crime, with a maximum sentence of three years. Your case has a big impact, so it may take one or two years. Do you have evidence of his infidelity? It should come from a legal source. If there is evidence, it is not defamation."

"……No."

"If you don't have it, you can try to get it before the trial. For example, where did you catch him cheating? Check the surveillance footage, or his bank card statements, and testimonies from his colleagues at the company, etc."

“This… I don’t have it either.”

"If you're not there, go find it. There's still so much time before we leave the court!"

"I mean... I checked all of this, and there's nothing."

The lawyer took a deep breath and re-examined Xie Min, "Then how do you know he cheated?"

"The children are theirs."

The lawyer was surprised and continued to ask, "Has Fu Sheng ever donated sperm? If your cousin has a test tube certificate, the child's blood relationship alone cannot prove that he cheated."

"It's not sperm donation, it's natural conception, but..."

"but what?"

"But when she was pregnant, Fu Sheng and I were not together yet."

"..." The lawyer looked at her seriously, "So, you are..."

"They were never together."

"I see. In short, you don't have any evidence that he cheated on you after you got married? Or, in other words, he didn't cheat on you after you got married?"

"Yes."

"This is not going to be easy. You should prepare for the worst. The situation is not optimistic. It is not in your favor right now. In addition, the Fu family has a strong legal department..."

Xie Min's face turned pale.

"Do you have any other questions?" the lawyer asked.

Xie Min hesitated for a long time, and finally made up her mind, "I want to know, can a rape case still be filed a few months later?"

The lawyer raised his eyebrows. "It depends on the specific situation. If you have preserved the evidence, then of course it is possible. But I am afraid that the evidence will be gone after a few months. If the other party refuses to admit it, it will be difficult to file a case... So, does it have anything to do with what you are consulting today?"

"I saw with my own eyes that Fu Sheng raped Xie Mu, and that's how the child came about."

lawyer:"……"

Having eaten too many melons, he remained calm on the surface, "So, you want to use this incident to negotiate with the other party to withdraw the lawsuit? Didn't your cousin call the police at the time?"

"No."

"Did you record the evidence?"

"……nor."

"Where is the location? Where is the surveillance?"

"The surveillance was broken that day."

After becoming Fu Sheng's girlfriend, Xie Min tried to secretly retrieve the surveillance footage so that she could use it to threaten Fu Sheng if he discovered the truth.

But unexpectedly, the surveillance camera broke down that day.

Perhaps that is why Fu Sheng found the wrong person.
