"Without my efforts to eliminate these junk foods, how could you all grow up healthy?"
Mommy's thick skin is truly extraordinary...
Considering her thick skin, Brother Mu reluctantly agreed. While making the promise, he let out a big yawn and said, "Alright, then I'll go gather some free food for you. Mommy, remember to exercise! Otherwise, you'll really end up as a big fat person!"
Lan Baobao quickly got him off the bed, saying, "Okay, okay, hurry up and go rest! Look at you, you're already so sleepy!"
Mumu is still just a child; it was late and he was already tired. Rubbing his soft little eyes, he stood up to bid farewell to Lan Baobao, saying, "Good night, Mommy. You should sleep early too. Don't think too much; both Ruo Ruo and I love you."
Watching Mumu's figure, Lan Baobao felt a mix of affection and joy.
Having children is truly wonderful. Facing difficulties head-on and giving birth to these two kids was indeed the right choice.
Secondly, while Grandpa Ye was out exercising, Lan Baobao made a phone call to Li Xiaoran and brought the lawyer brother over to the house.
Since Mumu already knew about her desire for a divorce and expressed support for her, Lan Baobao felt there was no need to hide anything from them. Moreover, Ruo Ruo had always been loyally following her brother, so as long as Mumu felt it was fine, Ruo Ruo would naturally be no problem.
Indeed, Li Xiaoran wasn't unreliable; the Attorney Pu he brought along seemed quite competent. At least he was well-dressed in a sharp suit and looked the part of a lawyer.
He appeared to be a decent-looking lawyer; it was just uncertain how capable he was professionally!
Lan Baobao quietly gave Li Xiaoran a gesture of thanks.
Li Xiaoran raised his eyebrows at her; this matter wasn't too significant!
"Hello, Attorney Pu. I'm Lan Baobao. I asked Li Xiaoran to contact you because I have something I’d like to ask for your help with. Here’s the situation." As she welcomed Attorney Pu to sit down, Lan Baobao eagerly began explaining her situation. Honestly, she felt a bit nervous facing a real lawyer.
She was anxious yet hopeful that this lawyer would take on her case while also wishing he could easily decline it.
"Madam Ye, that's not necessary. Xiaoran has already clarified the specific situation with me, and I have a general understanding," Attorney Pu interrupted Lan Baobao's words, clearly a decisive person who values efficiency.
Lan Baobao awkwardly withdrew her words and then continued to ask nervously, "So I would like to know, is there a relatively easy solution to this matter? After all, Ye Zixun is also considered a public figure, and I don't want to make this too big of a deal."
Attorney Pu looked up at Lan Baobao through his expensive-looking glasses and asked sharply, "Before we discuss this case, I need to confirm one thing with Madam Ye first; only then can I determine whether I can help resolve this."
"What question?" Feeling somewhat tense under Attorney Pu's gaze, Lan Baobao clenched her hands and asked.
"Is Madam Ye truly determined to divorce Mr. Ye Zixun? As far as I know, your marriage is quite unique.
Generally speaking, without a contract, the process of divorce can be quite complicated. Especially for you, Madam Ye, since you have signed documents with Mr. Ye. Regardless of whether the divorce can be successful or not, the cost you will incur is significant.
I need you to confirm whether you have indeed decided to divorce Mr. Ye!"
Attorney Pu asked seriously, as if this question were of utmost importance. To Lan Baobao, it seemed merely a way to gauge her stance, fearing that she might backtrack later and put him in a difficult position.
"Yes." After a moment, Lan Baobao nodded earnestly. In truth, she hadn't thought much about it; what difference did it make whether she was mentally prepared? She had already taken the first step; if she didn't continue forward, her situation would only become more difficult.
"Alright." Attorney Pu relaxed slightly and took out a document from his briefcase, handing it to Lan Baobao. "This is a divorce agreement; Madam Ye, you can sign here."
After finishing his statement, Attorney Pu paused at the spot where Lan Baobao needed to sign and continued to look at her seriously. Feeling uneasy under his gaze, Lan Baobao trembled as she picked up the pen beside her and wrote her name on the document.
Attorney Pu was satisfied as he took back the document to check it over.
At that moment, Lan Baobao seemed to be in a daze, completely unaware that she had just signed the divorce agreement between herself and Ye Zixun, thus clearly expressing her stance.
Once Ye Zixun added his signature, their marital relationship would come to an end.
"Alright, Mrs. Ye," Attorney Pu began to continue his work. "Now you can take this divorce agreement and ask Mr. Ye Zixun to sign it. If he signs, it means you are officially divorced, and the original marriage relationship is dissolved."
"What if he refuses to sign?" Before Attorney Pu could continue, Lan Baobao impatiently interrupted. The key issue was that Ye Zixun would not agree to sign at all; what good would that do?
However, Attorney Pu, suddenly interrupted, appeared somewhat displeased. He slightly furrowed his brow but continued to explain calmly, "If Mr. Ye Zixun is unwilling to sign, Madam Ye, you can file a lawsuit in court and request the court to rule on your divorce. Generally, the court's first ruling will be that you do not get divorced. However, if you have solid evidence of Mr. Ye's infidelity, then the divorce can certainly be granted."
Go to court?
Although Lan Baobao was truly determined to divorce Ye Zixun, she had never considered escalating it to such a serious level as going to court. After all, marriage is a matter between two people; whether they stay together or separate should be discussed by both parties. If it really went to court, the nature of the situation would change.
"Do we really have to go to court?" Lan Baobao asked with some concern. She began to wonder if she really had no choice but to end this marriage.
"Logically speaking, yes. If Mr. Ye is unwilling to divorce, a divorce agreement signed only by you is completely useless; you remain his legally recognized wife. Therefore, if you truly want a divorce, it can only be resolved through legal means."
Attorney Pu explained sincerely, but then he added a twist that gave Lan Baobao some hope: "Because Mr. Ye Zixun is the president of Ye Corporation and holds a different status than ordinary individuals, his every word and action could affect the entire Ye Family's development. If it goes to court, his personal matters will inevitably cause turmoil in the stock market of Ye Family Enterprises. So based on my analysis, Mr. Ye Zixun should agree to settle privately."
"What does that mean?" Li Xiaoran, who had been listening somewhat confusedly from the side, finally couldn't help but interject. This person was indeed a lawyer; he liked to speak in circles.
"It means," Attorney Pu patiently explained, "that asking Madam Ye to request the court's intervention for mediation is merely a way to force Mr. Ye Zixun to compromise and actively sign this divorce agreement. Considering the overall benefits for Ye Corporation, he should choose to sign because stock market turmoil can be significant. As far as I know, the current Ye Family is investing in a large project, so he wouldn't want to take that risk."
Now everyone understood his intention.
Lan Baobao smiled and gave a thumbs up; indeed, great lawyers think differently from others. But now that she had finally found a way for Ye Zixun to sign, was she truly happy? Why did she feel an emptiness in her heart as if she couldn't find any support?
As a lawyer, Ye Zixun would not risk his company's shares and future.
However, wasn't her approach essentially using the Ye Family's enterprise as a gamble? What if Ye Zixun decided to take that risk? Wouldn't that put the Ye Family's business in jeopardy?
She had brought the business that Grandpa Ye built up to the brink of collapse, which was not what Lan Baobao wanted!
After sending off Attorney Pu, Lan Baobao thought a lot and ultimately decided to give it a try. After finally making up her mind, she was not going to give up so easily.
So she left. Lan Baobao turned around and instructed the two people who were making a ruckus at home to stay put and wait for Grandpa Ye to return. She also told the household staff to take good care of the two children before packing her things and heading out.
She was going to find Ye Zixun.
As soon as she got into the car, she took out her phone and called Ye Zixun.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Ye Zixun was still angry about Lan Baobao's insistence on divorcing him, but since he knew he was at fault, he was conflicted about how to address her.
"I'm on my way to your company. Let's meet." Lan Baobao's tone was calm as always, with a hint of a babyish voice that made it hard for anyone to feel angry.
"Are you in a hurry to see me? Is there something going on?" Ye Zixun frowned, feeling an uneasy premonition in his heart.
"Let's talk when we meet. I'll be waiting for you at the café across from your company." Lan Baobao knew that if she directly mentioned the divorce agreement, Ye Zixun would definitely use work as an excuse not to meet her. Having spent so much time by his side, she had learned a thing or two.
Due to some traffic on the road, Lan Baobao arrived at the café a bit later than she had expected. However, as she passed by the entrance of the café, the sight of Ye Zixun with Mu Jiao'er flooded her mind uncontrollably.
