Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief - Chapter 836

Chapter 836 Please Pay Attention to Safety

Qi Minlan was telling the truth. It was easy for her to get a divorce.

Not only did Qiu Qin have an affair, but he also spent the money that belonged to both of them on the woman. He had gone overboard.

In particular, the elderly couple in the Qiu family wanted his mistress to bear them a grandchild. If so, Qiu Qin might even commit the crime of bigamy.

It was easy to get a divorce now that things had come to this state.

“Rest assured, Dad. I am telling the truth. Dad, I will hurry to prepare the documents, This has to be settled as soon as possible so that I can set my mind at ease.” Now that Old Master Shi had promised to help, Qi Minlan did not waste any more time.

When she finished the conversation, the lawyer that she had made an appointment with yesterday arrived.

The lawyer had drafted the documents for the divorce by litigation. He brought them over for Qi Minlan to take a look today. As long as nothing was wrong, they could head to the court.

Qi Minlan was not familiar with the law. She scanned through the documents to check that it was as she had said previously before they left for the court.

Actually, a small lawsuit like this would take some time to be processed.

However, after Old Master Shi had contacted the relevant departments and asked them to help, Qi Minlan was shown the way as soon as she arrived. The processes were simplified for her and she was able to process her divorce faster.

Qiu Qin received the court summons three days later, asking him to go to the court.

Grandma Qiu did not quite understand what that was. She thought that someone had pulled a prank. But she still brought it inside for Old Master Qiu and Qiu Qin to take a look

Qiu Qin saw the official embossed seal on the documents. He did not make the same mistake like his mother and knew what it was right away. “Qi Minlan is bent on getting a divorce. The court session will begin today. It is too fast!” Qiu Qin had not been through a divorce, but he knew that it was too fast for the court sessions to start in three days. He did not know that the court was so efficient.

There should be a few summons after the documents for divorce by litigation were submitted, should there not? Why did he have to go to court straightaway?

“It seems like Old Shi has a hand in this matter.” Old Qiu frowned. “Qiu Qin, is it possible that your secret is out? If not, Elder Shi would not meddle in this.”

Qi Minlan was not young anymore. She had a daughter with his son. If she were to divorce, the Shi family would have to support a divorced daughter. It would do no good to them.

The Shi family would not do things that harmed others without benefiting themselves.

“Dad, this won’t do. I have to go to Ping Cheng now. According to what you said, with my father-in-law’s help, Qi Minlan will divorce me without me being present!” Qiu Qin felt that something was wrong, but it was too late for him to react.

“You’d better hurry. Have a good talk with Qi Minlan. Our worries may prove groundless, but no matter what, it is better to be careful. You must not get a divorce for the time being.” Shi Peng was doing very well in Ping Cheng. A few days ago, he was even planning for his son to appease Qi Minlan and to stay in close contact with Shi Peng. He might be able to help Qiu Qin in his career.

Now that Qiu Qin was involved in the excavation of the ancient tomb, if he divorced Qi Minlan, the Qiu family would not be able to make use of their connection to Shi Peng.

“I know.” There was no way that he would agree to a divorce with Qi Minlan now.

Unless he was able to escape unscathed from his involvement in the excavation of the ancient tomb, and Shi Peng helped him take up a position at Ping Cheng, he would never divorce Qi Minlan.

Qiu Qin, who was driving to Ping Cheng, had this thought in mind. However, it never crossed his mind that if he could cover up his involvement with the cultural relics and was transferred back to Ping Cheng, Qi Minlan would not need to go through all the troubles to divorce him.

Since it was a trial, Qiu Qin was clever enough to bring a lawyer with him.

Of course, he had some dealings with the lawyer in the past. He had worked with the lawyer when he was in Ping Cheng. He knew that he was a capable lawyer.

On the way to the court, the lawyer explained the case in detail to Qiu Qin. “Director Qiu, are you sure that you have told me everything? Have you made any mistakes in principles in the past? Or have you done anything that violates the marriage law in China?”

As a lawyer, he had seen all kinds of situations.

People like Qiu Qin might seem to be an honest and upright gentleman, but nobody knew how he was truly like in private.

As a wife of a government official, she would not file for a divorce without an apparent reason. At the very least, among all the cases that he had worked on, most of the time, the husband would insist on a divorce because of his affair. He rarely saw cases whereby the wife was determined to get a divorce just because the husband had an affair.

Moreover, he had never seen any cases whereby the wife filed for a divorce even though the husband did not have an affair.

He believed Qiu Qin’s case would not be the exception. “Director Qiu, you have to tell me the truth. If I know nothing when we go to court, I will not be able to help you when the other party submits their evidence. Director Qiu, I hope you are not trying to test my reaction.”

Since the lawyer had said so, and Qiu Qin knew that Qi Minlan was bent on divorcing him, he had no other choice but to tell him everything

The lawyer almost wanted to get out of the car after Qiu Qin confessed the truth to him. There was no point in fighting the case.

In general, the court would take one to two months before they would have a court session for this type of lawsuit.

However, this lawsuit was not an ordinary lawsuit. Qiu Qin used to be an official in the city, and he was an official in the town now. As for his wife, she was the daughter of a government official. She also had a strong family background. Now that they ended up in a lawsuit, it would have to depend on which side had the most valid reasons.

But right now, Qiu Qin was on the losing end. He was not able to go against the strong family background of his wife, and he was the person who had committed mistakes in the first place. The lawyer was helpless. He was not even able to take advantage of the legal loopholes.

“Director Qiu, to be honest, I can’t do much about this lawsuit. If you don’t want to get a divorce, you can only try to have a good talk with your wife and make her change her mind. If you fight the case and leave it to the court to make a decision, you will most probably end up in a divorce.” There was no other way.

“Is there really no other way?” Qiu Qin was anxious.

The lawyer had a big shock. “Director Qiu, we are on the road. Please watch the traffic condition. We still have some time. Let’s discuss this when we are at the court.” The lawyer broke out in a cold sweat. Nobody would be responsible for his life. He did not want to die in an accident because of a lawsuit.
