After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

After these words were spoken, the huge Su Family Restaurant fell into a brief silence.

The sterling silver knife and fork in Su Qing's hand slid across the exquisite bone china plate, producing an extremely sharp and piercing sound.

Her face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

"Shen Man is my best friend since childhood, and the person I, Su Qing, trust most in this circle. But now, she's completely infatuated with a good-for-nothing, even willing to offend Liu Zhiyuan, a financial elite who returned from Wall Street, for him!"

Su Qing abruptly put down her knife and fork, her chest heaving violently with anger.

"Lin Fan, that despicable scoundrel! He knew Shen Man was my best friend, yet he deliberately used those deceitful sweet words to get close to her! He did this simply to disgust me and get revenge on me for divorcing him!"

"I absolutely cannot watch Tuantuan grow up in an environment full of scheming, hypocrisy, and the smell of gutter oil."

"When determining custody, judges prioritize the resources and social circles that both parents can provide for the child's development. What can he give Tuantuan? Teaching her how to lie?"

Su Qing took a napkin and vigorously wiped her hands, as if mentioning Lin Fan's name had soiled her hands.

"I have already arranged for Attorney Zhang from Dacheng Law Offices to prepare all the litigation materials. In addition, I have also asked the legal department to prepare a compensation agreement for two million in advance."

Two million?!

Zhang Cuihua, who was drinking her nourishing soup, immediately dropped the soup spoon back into the bowl with a "clatter" when she heard that Lin Fan was to be given money. Her face turned red with embarrassment.

"Qingqing, are you crazy?! Why give him so much money?! He's never even seen two million in his entire life! Isn't that just letting that little bastard get away with it?!"

"Mom, this is called paying for peace and quiet."

Su Qing coldly interrupted her mother:

"Although we have a 100% chance of winning the lawsuit, the legal process takes time, and it will take at least six months."

"My Su Group is about to go public in the US. I don't have the time to waste in court with a nobody, and I can't let the media find any negative news about my personal life."

Su Qing picked up the wine glass beside her and gently swirled the scarlet liquid inside:

"With this money, he can take it and go back to his poor, remote hometown, and never show his face in Jiangcheng again, never appear in front of me and Tuantuan again. Buying out a problem with two million is the most efficient way to cut losses in business."

Hearing this, Su Ming, who had been silent all along, nodded thoughtfully, indicating his agreement with his daughter's actions.

"Qingqing is decisive and has the demeanor of a great general. This kind of hopeless person is like a stubborn leech; the more you reason with him, the more he will cling to you. The easiest and most dignified way is to send him away with money and crush him with your social standing."

Su Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, if you just throw two million in cash at Lin Fan's face, with Lin Fan's poor and stingy appearance, wouldn't he immediately bow and scrape and sign the papers when he sees so much money?

As long as Lin Fan signs the papers and gets out of there, even if he really is that so-called master chef from the Grand Hyatt banquet, it has nothing to do with the Su family anymore. Those big shots won't cause trouble for the Su family because of a chef who takes money and leaves.

"When shall we go?" Zhang Cuihua asked, seeing that her husband had agreed. Although she was still heartbroken over the two million yuan, she couldn't wait to see Lin Fan being driven out of Jiangcheng like a stray dog.

Su Qing turned her head, a sharp, cold glint flashing in her eyes.

"Tomorrow morning."

"I'm going to that so-called 'trendy restaurant' of his myself. I'm going to expose his hypocrisy in front of everyone!"

……

The next morning.

The sky over Jiangcheng was shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds. The early autumn morning breeze carried a biting chill, and the air was filled with a sense of oppressive tension, as if a storm was brewing.

The Su family villa in the city center.

In the enormous walk-in closet on the second floor, Su Qing stood quietly in front of the huge dressing mirror.

"Mr. Su, the legal team has arrived." Assistant Xiao Li stood outside the dressing room door, reporting to her boss with a slightly trembling voice.

"understood."

Su Qing casually picked up a Patek Philippe women's watch, fastened it to her wrist, and walked down to the lobby on the first floor, her twelve-centimeter black heels with red soles making a cold "clack-clack-clack" sound.

Four men in suits were already sitting properly on the sofa in the hall.

Leading the group was none other than Zhang, the chief partner of Dacheng Law Firm, a renowned figure in Jiangcheng's legal community, often referred to as "the Pizza Hut."

His specialty is representing the top billionaires in court. As long as the money is right, he can expose their dirty secrets in court.

Seeing Su Qing come downstairs, Attorney Zhang immediately stood up and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses:

"Good morning, Mr. Su. Our team has finished compiling all the documents you requested last night."

Attorney Zhang opened the heavy leather briefcase in his hand, took out a thick stack of documents, and handed them to Su Qing with both hands:

"This is the two million dollar settlement agreement, and the voluntary statement relinquishing custody. Also, this is the complaint we drafted overnight."

Attorney Zhang adjusted his glasses, a shrewd glint flashing behind the lenses:

"We have conducted a thorough investigation into your ex-husband's current situation. Although his restaurant has a certain level of popularity online, it is essentially a sole proprietorship and has engaged in serious price gouging."

"If he refuses to sign during negotiations, we will use the case in court to launch a comprehensive attack on him, citing reasons such as 'extremely unstable income,' 'alleged false marketing,' and 'a noisy and unpleasant working environment that negatively impacts the child's physical and mental health.' I am 100% confident that the judge will rule in court to strip him of custody!"

Listening to Attorney Zhang's cold yet professional report, Su Qing nodded in satisfaction.

This is the power of capital; this is the divide between social classes.

Lin Fan, what makes you think you can fight me?

"Let's go." Su Qing tossed the documents back to Attorney Zhang, her voice as cold as ice. "To Phoenix Golden Street. Today, I'll make sure he loses everything."

……

Three black sedans, one after the other, drove out of the gate of the Su family villa.

Leading the group was a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, with Su Qing sitting in the back right seat. Su Ming and Zhang Cuihua sat in the middle in an Alphard minivan, and the last vehicle following was an Audi belonging to Zhang's lawyer team.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Wuhan was in the midst of rush hour. The convoy of cars moved slowly and frequently on the elevated ring road.

The carriage was quiet, with only the faint hissing sound of the air conditioning vents.
