Chapter 152 Birthday Party
Chapter 152 Birthday Party
Qin Ming looked at Jiang Li's resolute back, and stood there stiffly as if he had lost his soul, motionless except for two tears that flowed naturally.
No one can change what Jiang Li has decided.
Even though he had two red books as chips, he still lost completely.
"Wife..."
Qin Ming's heart-wrenching cry echoed from the backstage to the stage. Jiang Li paused for a few seconds, but still didn't look back, and set out alone on the road to overcome all obstacles.
The next day, the president's office of Star S received a letter. It only contained two thin pages, but it was enough to destroy Qin Ming's nervous sensory system.
When he saw the title of "Divorce Agreement", his eyes became blurred instantly and he could not see the words and content inside.
Jiang Li expected him to tear it up, so he also put a note inside.
"Tomorrow, I'll send you another one. I hope you'll sign it voluntarily. I can treat this marriage as if it never happened, and I don't want anything from it. If you still stubbornly refuse to change your ways and don't care about the face I give you, then we'll see you in court. I'll fight for what I have to fight for with all my might."
Signing is impossible.
As long as she doesn't divorce, Qin Ming won't feel bad at all even if he gives her all his assets, shares and money.
Sure enough, Jiang Li sent two more identical divorce agreements within two consecutive days. At the same time, she also began to plan for divorce litigation.
In South City, if you want to quickly dissolve your marriage with Qin Ming, you must hire a good lawyer. After all, that scoundrel is wealthy and powerful. As long as he insists on not letting go, the divorce lawsuit will drag on, and it may take three to five years, or even ten years, without any result.
Jiang Li didn't want to wait, and even more so didn't want to waste her energy on such a bad scumbag.
After much deliberation, she realized that besides Tang Yue, she could only look for Chen Xu. This was because she was not familiar with the legal field and had never dealt with lawyers before.
"Brother Xu, I'm Ali. Do you know any lawyers? Could you recommend one to me?"
No one had been able to contact Jiang Li since she disappeared. Chen Xu had called her countless times but received no response. He hadn't expected her to call him after changing her number.
I was so excited, even more excited than if Chen's stock had gone up ten points. "Yes, yes, yes. If you need it, the Chen Group's legal team is at your disposal."
Jiang Li didn't think he had the nerve to borrow someone else's entire group's legal team.
"That's not necessary. I just have a small personal case, there's no need to make such a big fuss. You just need to recommend me a lawyer who is more professional in handling family issues."
Chen Xu understood what she meant. It seemed she had made up her mind; the marriage was set to end in divorce.
"Okay. It's Xixi's birthday the day after tomorrow, and our family holds a party for her every year. Can you come? I can introduce you to a lawyer and some useful resources and connections."
Chen Xi had been talking about her birthday party for a month, hundreds of times. "Ali, you must come. When the time comes, I'll introduce you to everyone and tell them you're my best friend."
Even if Chen Xu didn't say it, Jiang Li would find ways to avoid those media reporters and find time to rush over.
"Okay. I'll be there the day after tomorrow."
Chen Xi’s birthday party was a gathering of wealthy families.
Every year, top wealthy families use birthday parties, charity fundraising and other events to share resources and strengthen relationships with each other.
This time, Chen Xu did not invite Qin Ming because he was going to pursue his ex-wife, and it would be too embarrassing to invite her to watch the fun.
Jiang Li painted herself to look like a Thai ladyboy, with heavy makeup, ghostly and enchanting looks, and wore exaggerated costumes. Only then did she break through the layers of paparazzi tracking and sneak into the Chen family compound.
Even Chen Xi didn't recognize her when he saw her. "Hello? Who are you? Who invited you? How did you get in?"
Jiang Li held up a finger and shushed softly. "Xixi. It's me, Ah Li."
Hearing the long-lost voice, Chenxi screamed excitedly as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
"Ali, it's you, it's really you. You're finally here."
"You're a huge star now. Do you know that I'm your biggest fan? Come on, sign my autograph and take a photo with me."
Jiang Li pointed at his face. "I'm in such a mess right now, how can I take a photo? At least find a place for me to wash my face and change clothes before I come out to see people."
"Come on, I'll take you to my room and you can choose any of my clothes!"
Chen Xi pulled Jiang Li towards the inner courtyard.
As they passed the corridor garden, the maid came running over. "Second Miss, the old lady is here. Madam told you to go and greet her quickly."
Old Mrs. Chen is the ancestor of the Chen family. She came all the way from Gangcheng to celebrate her great-granddaughter's birthday. Chen Xi must go to greet her in person to show his sincerity.
"Ali. My great-grandmother has come from afar, so I have to go over there first. Can I let Sister Ling take you to change clothes?"
It was quite considerate of Chen Xi to leave his guests behind and bring him to the inner courtyard despite his busy schedule. Jiang Li naturally didn't mind.
"It's okay. Go ahead and do your work. I'll come find you after I'm done changing."
Sister Ling enthusiastically took Jiang Li to the villa in the inner building and asked her to sit down.
Jiang Li looked at the retro Chinese-style decoration in the room and felt that it was incompatible with Chen Xi's lively personality.
"Is this Xixi's bedroom?"
Sister Ling smiled and nodded. "Yes, this is our eldest daughter's bedroom."
"Miss Jiang, please have some tea first. I'll go find you a dress."
Lingjie has a good eye and is very clever. She brought out three new dresses, all of which were custom-made, simple, elegant, and not revealing.
"This is the new dress our second young lady ordered this season. Please try it on and see which one you like."
Jiang Li casually pointed at a champagne-colored dress. "This one."
Sister Ling took off the long skirt, carefully arranged every detail, and handed it solemnly to Jiang Li.
"Miss Jiang, our lady's bedroom is in the innermost room on the third floor. You can just go straight up."
Jiang Li didn't go upstairs, but asked her, "No need to go to the bedroom. I can just change in the bathroom. Which one do you want?"
Sister Ling didn't seem to understand and continued to lead her upstairs. "The bedroom has a bathroom. Our young lady said that since you're her best friend, you should just treat this as your own home. There's no need to be so formal."
Sister Ling opened the door personally and made a gesture to invite Jiang Li in, and only then did Jiang Li go in.
Jiang Li's figure was naturally slender and well-proportioned, making her a natural clothes hanger. In this long dress, she looked even more dazzling than the models on the runway.
Seeing that she had washed off her heavy makeup and had a completely natural face without even lipstick on, Sister Ling kindly reminded her.
"Miss Jiang, you can put on some light makeup to look more beautiful. The dressing table is over here, would you like to try it?"
Unable to refuse the kind offer, Jiang Li casually applied a thin layer of foundation to her face, lightly outlined her eyebrows, and applied a couple of lipsticks, calling it a day. The whole process took no more than two minutes.
Sister Ling was stunned. "So fast?"
Jiang Li smiled. "I'm usually too lazy to put on makeup, and I'm not very good at it. This is fine."
I have to say, being born beautiful means being domineering.
Her two-minute makeup looks a thousand times better than those stars' two-hour meticulous sculpting.
"Miss Jiang, would you like to pick out some jewelry? I think a necklace around your neck would make you look more elegant."
