After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

What's meant to come will come.

Lan Yujuan knew very well that she couldn't avoid it; she would eventually have to face it!

Before she could even call the police, Liu Zhiyuan did!

That afternoon, Liu Zhiyuan, accompanied by two police officers, came to the door again.

"Hello, may I ask which one of you is Lan Yujuan?"

Lan Yujuan opened the door and calmly said, "That's me."

She looked at her neighbors upstairs and downstairs, all peeking out to see what was going on, and felt a pang of shame.

If so many people were gathered at my doorstep, one can only imagine what it must be like in the courtyard downstairs and at the entrance of the building.

My parents' lifelong reputation and honor will be completely ruined by me this time!

Lan Yujuan stepped aside, clearing the doorway:

"Officer, please come in and ask us anything!"

"Okay, that's fine!" The two comrades nodded and politely went into the house.

As soon as the three entered the Lan family home, they were overwhelmed by the scholarly atmosphere that greeted them.

The home is clean, cozy, and meticulously maintained.

The solid wood furniture is arranged in a staggered and orderly manner, with calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls and orchids growing on the table.

After they were all seated, the two comrades spoke again, and their tone became much more polite.

"Ms. Lan, we received a report from your husband that you secretly took his child away and are preventing him and his daughter from seeing each other."

"His original intention was to pick you and your daughter up and take you home. But you ordered someone to beat him up, is that true?"

"This is your family matter. We are here only to help mediate."

"As the old saying goes, harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things! Could you and your spouse sit down and calmly discuss the matter?"

Lan Yujuan glanced at the time and said politely:

"Comrade, please wait a moment!"

"Perfect timing, my lawyer is on his way!"

"Let's explain all of this at once later!"

Then, she looked at her parents and said sincerely:

"Dad, Mom, why don't you two go out for a walk first, or go back to your room to rest for a while?"

"I want to handle this myself!"

She knew that the truth would eventually come out. Her parents would find out about Liu Zhiyuan's affair and the Liu family's dirty secrets sooner or later.

But right now, her father couldn't help but want to rush up and attack Liu Zhiyuan, and she was really afraid that if they continued talking in front of her parents, the situation would get out of control.

"Alright, you two can chat then!" After serving hot tea and snacks to the guests, Lan's mother helped Lan's father back to his room.

A few minutes later, the lawyer that Lan Yujuan had hired arrived!

This lawyer, surnamed Zhang, is a student of Mr. Lan and is most skilled at handling this type of case. He is quite famous locally.

Liu Zhiyuan panicked the moment he saw the lawyer arrive.

He never expected that Lan Yujuan would be so well-prepared for her visit to her parents' home this time!

"Lan Yujuan, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you've hired a lawyer!"

"Liu Xiaoman is my biological daughter. A paternity test was done when she was registered in the household!"

"Where have you hidden my daughter? Bring her out right now! I have guardianship and custody rights. You're doing this without my consent, depriving me of my legal rights. That's illegal, you know?"

Lan Yujuan did not answer directly, but simply nodded to Lawyer Zhang before picking up her tea.

Attorney Zhang adjusted his glasses and calmly said:

"Mr. Liu, you're too kind."

"First of all, my client, Ms. Lan Yujuan, is the biological mother of Liu Xiaoman and also has guardianship and custody rights."

"Secondly, she didn't hide the child; she didn't inform you beforehand before you called the police and came to her door. Unfortunately, the child was playing at a relative's house."

Liu Zhiyuan was so angry he gritted his teeth. He immediately lay down on the sofa and started acting like a scoundrel:

"You went to visit relatives, right? Okay, I'll wait here!"

"I will leave whenever I see my child again!"

Attorney Zhang adjusted his glasses once more and smiled gently:

"Mr. Liu, I'm afraid what you're doing won't work."

"This is the Lan family's property, not the Liu family's. If you stay here, it will be considered trespassing."

Liu Zhiyuan was so angry that he stood up abruptly, pointing angrily at Lan Yujuan and saying:

"She's my wife! This is my father-in-law's house! What kind of trespassing is this?"

"What kind of lawyer are you? Have you no morals? Stirring up trouble for a few stinking bucks? Get out of here!"

The two police officers sitting nearby, seeing Liu Zhiyuan's agitated state, quickly stood up to try and calm him down.

"Mr. Liu, please control your emotions! Let's talk this out!"

Attorney Zhang took off his glasses, wiped the saliva off the lenses with disgust, and calmly said:

"Mr. Liu, according to my client, you two did not register your marriage."

"We only signed a cohabitation agreement, had a daughter together, and were just ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend."

"So, legally speaking, Ms. Lan Yujuan is not your wife, and this is not your father-in-law's house."

Upon hearing this, even the two police officers were stunned, clearly still unaware of what was going on.

"What? You two didn't get a marriage certificate?"

Lan Yujuan nodded. "Yes, never."

Liu Zhiyuan immediately panicked, "It's just missing a certificate! We can get a replacement anytime!"

"Lan Yujuan, ask yourself this honestly!"

"I gave you 800,000 yuan as a bride price, 200,000 yuan worth of gold jewelry as the wedding gifts, a new cell phone worth over 10,000 yuan, and we even had a wedding banquet!"

"Aren't these things more convincing than a marriage certificate?"

"In fact, we are married! You're my wife! The mother of my children!"

"If you don't admit it, then return the betrothal gifts and gold jewelry to me?"

"Let's consider this a breakup. I'll take the child back home by myself!"

Just as Attorney Zhang was about to speak, Lan Yujuan suddenly raised her hand:

"Attorney Zhang, let me speak here!"

Then, Lan Yujuan took out a copy of the "Cohabitation Property Agreement" that she had prepared in advance and placed it on the coffee table.

"Liu Zhiyuan, don't confuse the issue!"

"That 80 yuan transfer and 20 yuan worth of gold jewelry were never dowry or wedding gold."

"A new phone is just a New Year's gift at best. I gave you a similarly expensive phone as a gift before."

"According to the terms of our cohabitation property agreement, during our cohabitation period, I will be responsible for having children and raising them, and I will take care of your parents. We will each keep half of all your legal income."

"The million I have right now isn't even half of what you've earned. But don't worry, I'll pursue my share through legal channels and do my best to get it!"

When Liu Zhiyuan saw the agreement, his face turned pale.

"Lan Yujuan, you plotted against me?"

His eyes darted around, and he immediately asserted:

"This million was borrowed from someone!"

"I only have a regular second-tier university degree, how could I possibly earn that much money?"

"Since we signed an agreement to split our legal income equally, shouldn't our debts also be split equally? Hmph, I'm not afraid to tell you, the money I owe outside is far more than just one million!"

Lan Yujuan raised an eyebrow and said calmly:

"You've got it wrong. We're just living together, not married."

"This agreement doesn't mention any debts. Even if you borrow ten million from elsewhere, it has nothing to do with me."

"As for how much legal income you have over the past four years, bank statements and personal income tax software know better than you."

"Staying here won't do you any good. Go back and wait for your court summons. See you in court!"

Upon hearing these words, Liu Zhiyuan's face turned from white to green, and his cheek muscles trembled from the excessive force.

"Fine, see you in court then!"

"But Liu Xiaoman is my child, and I must take her away today!"

"If you're so capable of suing me, then wait until you win custody before you come and take her away!"

"I want to see what kind of housewife you are, who used to be supported by your parents and then by your husband after having children, who not only doesn't own a house but also doesn't have a stable income. What makes you think you can fight me for custody of the children!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the master bedroom door was slammed open by Mr. Lan.

"Who says my daughter doesn't own a house? Who says my daughter doesn't have a stable income?"

Dragging his cane, Mr. Lan rushed over in a fit of rage and slapped a bright red property deed across Liu Zhiyuan's face.

"Open your dog eyes and look! My daughter already owned a house when she went to college!"

"Slap! Slap!" Two retirement pension cards were slapped across Liu Zhiyuan's face again.

"Is a monthly pension of over 10,000 yuan enough?"

"Is double retirement income enough?"

"You bastard, get out of my house!"

Unable to contain himself any longer, Lan's father raised his cane and struck Liu Zhiyuan's leg hard, cursing as he did so.

"You dare come looking for trouble? I'll break your legs!"
