Reunion of Love and Renewed Fate
墨書 Inktalez
My best friend, Yin Cheng, is pregnant and worried about being entangled with her ex. She needs to figure out the custody situation. There's no choice; I have to step in for her.
I arrived at a place called Honest Law Firm.
"Who is your best lawyer?" I asked the receptionist.
She smiled and replied, "Miss, please fill out this registration form first."
After completing the registration, someone led me to the top floor. The person knocked three times on the door, turned around, and left me alone as I entered.
As the door opened, I saw a man bent over his desk, writing. He looked somewhat familiar.
I walked over and said, "Hello, I am..."
He lifted his head, and I nearly choked on my own saliva. Zhou Chenyu? How could it be him? What a twist of fate.
Zhou Chenyu was taken aback as well but quickly pointed to the chair across from him. "Have a seat."
He still spoke in that commanding tone, which was irritating. I decided not to sit.
"Suit yourself," Zhou Chenyu said.
I plopped down in the chair defiantly. I wanted to go against him at every turn. However, seeing the slight smirk on his lips made me feel like I might have fallen into his trap.
Zhou Chenyu spoke coolly, "What do you want to consult about? Go ahead."
I raised my chin slightly and asked, "I'm pregnant after a breakup. Once the child is born, who gets custody?"
He looked at me, and as a professional lawyer, he asked a very professional question.
"Whose child is it?"
Professional my foot!
He was staring at my belly; did he really think I was pregnant?
I straightened my back silently and replied, "It's definitely not yours."
He chuckled lightly, "Of course, we broke up two years ago. I can't possibly have conceived from afar, and you can't be carrying a child like Nezha."
This guy still had a sharp tongue.
"If you can't answer my question, then get another lawyer to handle my case."
"Custody usually goes to the mother, but she needs to have the ability to raise the child, like having a job or savings..."
He looked me up and down. "You should be fine."
I puffed out my chest. "I have no problem at all."
Hearing him say that put me at ease.
I stood up. "Thank you, I'm leaving now."
"Mm." He responded lightly.
As I reached the door, he added, "If it comes to a lawsuit, remember to come find me."
I turned back.
He gave me a standard smile. "For the sake of old acquaintances, just keep me in the loop."
"Sure."
I returned a fleeting fake smile and walked out.
Once outside, I let out a long breath.
I had temporarily won against my ex; after all, he believed I was pregnant.
I called Yin Cheng to tell her the outcome: "I ran into Zhou Chenyu, and coincidentally..."
The lawyer I consulted is him; his firm has actually opened here.
Yin Cheng asked, "So, what about custody?"
"Typically, it goes to the mother, unless she is unable to care for the child or there are other issues."
"Then I can rest easy. Alright, you don't need to worry about my matters; you prepare for a showdown with your ex," Yin Cheng said before hanging up.
She really understands me.
"If that jerk sees you, just say you're pregnant."
Yin Cheng has repeated this countless times before her check-up.
Do soon-to-be mothers really nag this much?
"I know, I know. I'm not a goldfish with a seven-second memory."
I was a bit impatient.
"Goldfish have memories longer than seven seconds, but you're about that close," Yin Cheng replied with a look that said "you're unreliable."
Fine, I won't argue with her.
After a series of tests at the hospital, everything came back normal.
I supported Yin Cheng and said, "Are you really planning to have the baby? Being a single mother isn't easy."
Yin Cheng glanced at me but remained silent.
As we walked, she suddenly leaned on me for support.
