Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 1532

Chapter 1532: A Good Case

If it had been any other man in his position, when faced with such a situation, he would never be able to pretend that nothing had happened. Zhou Zheng really intended to divorce that heartless woman, Qiao Zijin. No matter who he married, no one else would have been like Qiao Zijin and returned the Zhou family’s kindness with such ungratefulness.

The only thing stopping Zhou Zheng and the Zhou family was the Zhai family’s attitude. Even if it was about their daughter, Zhou Ying, Zhou Zheng did not worry either. From a young age, Zhou Ying had been brought up by Father Zhou and Mother Zhou. Qiao Zijin being away for two months and not even returning for a visit did not mean much. In these entire two months, Qiao Zijin had never once seen her daughter, Zhou Ying.

Zhou Zheng felt that Zhou Ying could not possibly have a good relationship with such a mother like Qiao Zijin anyway.

He was still young, had a good family background, and had money. If he were to get divorced from Qiao Zijin, would he still stay single for the rest of his life? If Qiao Zijin wanted her daughter, Zhou Ying, that was fine too. He would hand her over. If Qiao Zijin felt that Zhou Ying was a burden, then that was fine too. Surely, Zhou Zheng could afford to provide for his daughter.

Now that Zhai Sheng himself had spoken, it strengthened Zhou Zheng’s resolve to divorce Qiao Zijin. As long as he could divorce Qiao Zijin, anything else would be all right.

Chief Zhai had reminded him that indeed, nothing in his house should belong to Qiao Zijin, and Qiao Zijin should not be allowed to take anything with her!

After hanging up the call, Zhou Zheng dug out all his old photos. The Zhou family was quite rich and Zhou Zheng had a stable job. But he had also started a small side business. This business was done underground and he had done it in secret in collaboration with others. In these few years, he had earned quite a hefty sum from it.

Zhou Zheng had been concerned with running this business that he had not paid much attention to Qiao Zijin. It was only because he had heard some rumors about Qiao Zijin did he learn that Qiao Zijin’s behavior was out of line and that she could very well have cheated on him.

No man could accept such a thing.

Because of the Zhai family, Zhou Zheng was afraid that these were only rumors and not the truth. It would not be good if he were to wrongly accuse Qiao Zijin.

Thus, Zhou Zheng seemed to do nothing on the surface. But in reality, he had found a private investigator to check up on Qiao Zijin. In less than two months, the private investigator indeed found that Qiao Zijin had a lover outside. The two were even showing affection publicly. Zhou Zheng had in his hands a pile of photos that showed these two people hugging and kissing and engaging in many more unethical behaviors in public.

Other than that, Zhou Zheng even had photos of those two people entering and exiting a hotel together, as well as records of them getting a room together.

With all these photos, he had solid proof that Qiao Zijin was cheating on him. There was no way for Qiao Zijin to deny it.

After sorting all his evidence out, Zhou Zheng immediately found a reliable lawyer and explained his situation to the lawyer, asking for advice.

With this mountain of evidence, the lawyer’s eyes glistened. “Do you have all the evidence of your wife cheating on you here? These are the original and even the copies. Especially this photo, who has the original copy?”

Zhou Zheng looked at the lawyer in confusion. “What does this have to do with my divorce case? Of course the originals are with me. Even after developing the photos, I can’t afford to throw the negatives of such important evidence away.” As long as he still held on to the negatives, he would still be able to continue proving that Qiao Zijin had indeed gone astray in their marriage even if the photos went missing.

Zhou Zheng did not trust anyone with such important negatives, and so, he kept them himself.

The lawyer pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. “That may be so, but if it’s possible, you can actually leave those negatives with me.”

Zhou Zheng hesitated and felt that the lawyer was acting rather strangely. If his friend had not been the one to recommend this lawyer, Zhou Zheng would already have found someone else. Even after understanding the situation between him and Qiao Zijin, the lawyer kept discussing the evidence rather than giving him practical advice. For example, he wanted to know the chances of him being able to get a divorce from Qiao Zijin without giving her a single cent.

The lawyer bit on the corner of his lip, realizing that he had been too careless. Zhou Zheng was not a fledging kid who was that easy to control. “Don’t get me wrong. If it’s not convenient, that’s fine too. I was just giving you a suggestion. Don’t worry. With these photos, there should be no problem with your case. I have confidence that you’ll win this case.”

The evidence was all here. What else could be said?

Even if Zhou Zheng was willing to hand over the negatives, the lawyer would still not be sure if Zhou Zheng had handed all the evidence he had on hand over or whether he still had some other evidence hidden away. If he really did have some hidden away, there was no way he could help Chen Jun either, even if Zhou Zheng handed the photos over.

Sigh. Since they were old classmates, he would try to help out in any way possible. But if there was really no way of helping, he was not going to put himself in a tight spot either.

“Really?” After such a long meeting with the lawyer, Zhou Zheng felt that this had been the only useful sentence that the lawyer had spoken. “We’ll win this case for sure? My request is that Qiao Zijin will not be able to take even a single cent from our family. In the past few years that she’s been married to me, she has never worked and brought home any money. All the money that she’s spent was from me. Let’s not talk about not working. She’s never even lifted a finger to help out with household chores. Even when our child was still young, she would rather spend money on buying formula milk than breastfeeding our child herself!”

Zhou Zheng could not stop speaking once he mentioned Qiao Zijin’s behavior in the past few years in the Zhou family. His tone was filled with clear disgust.

It was not only Zhou Zheng. After hearing Zhou Zheng, even the lawyer had started taking a dislike to his old classmate who was all bundled up with this married woman. He could not understand why his old classmate, with an illustrious background and capabilities like him, would have no woman around him. Why did he have to do such an immoral thing and get into a relationship with a married woman of all people?

“Don’t worry, Mr. Zhou. I have confidence in this case. It’s good that you have the originals and the negatives on hand. Just in case, you’d better keep them properly before the trial ends. As for all these on the table, I’ll keep them and arrange them. If you two cannot come to a settlement amicably and need to go to court, then I’ll get these ready to submit them to the court.”
