The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex - Chapter 427
Chapter 427: They Had The Odds
“Uncle, are you sure that we cannot get the custody of Yuanyuan?” In the living room, Mo Yixuan frowned tightly, an obvious trace of disappointment and depression visible in his eyes.
He held a tea cup in his hand tightly as if he were about to crush it.
Now he also hoped to get the child’s custody first, believing that as long as Yuanyuan came back, Yanyan would come back as well.
Li Yunsheng drank another sip of the Longjing tea. At the age of forty, he was already a senior official in Ye City. His father, Li Jing, used to be a key member of the central government and retired only a few years ago.
The Li family was a typical second generation of China’s elite. Many people in the family occupied important national posts.
Li Yunsheng shook his head helplessly and said, “Yixuan, I also want to help you with this. However, our country has its national law, and I cannot break the law. Which parent will be awarded the child’s custody depends on which side will be more favorable for the child’s healthy growth. If He Xiyan has not gotten remarried, the child is likely to be awarded to you, because you can provide better living conditions. However, now both sides have the financial ability to raise the child. You have no advantage.”
Li Qin, who had just came in, became very anxious upon hearing this. Even her hands began shaking.
She went to her brother’s side, grasping Li Yunsheng by his sleeve with both hands, and said with great anxiety, “Yunsheng, this time, whatever it takes, you must help me, your elder sister. If Yuanyuan can’t come back, I do not want to live any longer.”
Whatever Li Qin said, it was something to do with her intention to die. Now she was totally occupied with Yuanyuan. She could not sleep well if her grandson did not come home.
Li Yunsheng patted his elder sister on the shoulder. When he was a little child, his sister loved him the most, so his feelings with her were also the best.
This thing, however, he could not do much about it.
“Well, Yixuan, what I mean is that you have to communicate more with He Xiyan. You used to be a couple after all. Then you’d better persuade her into letting you bring up the child, and you should promise her that she can come to see him at any time.”
Hearing this, Li Qin immediately became red-faced, saying impatiently, “It’s impossible, Yunsheng. You don’t know. We’ve already talked with her. That woman is steadfastly reluctant to come back, nor is she willing to let us raise the child. If not so, how would we appeal?”
Thinking of what happened last time, Li Qin was angry beyond control.
Mo Yixuan shook his head as well, a trace of loss flashing through his eyes. Meanwhile, he felt guilty himself, because if it weren’t for him, how could everything turned into this in his family?
Li Yunsheng paused. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Then we can only wait for the court to decide. Of course, we still have the chance to win. After all, He Xiyan has another child now. That she may not have the energy to take good care of both children can be one reason for the court to award you Yuanyuan. Of course, there is another possibility that you will win, that is, the Ye family cannot accept Yuanyuan or even rejects Yuanyuan. In this way, the court, considering the physical and mental health of the child’s future growth, will award you the child.”
Li Yunsheng said in a deep voice. After that, Li Qin and Mo Yixuan both opened their eyes wide as if they had seen a little hope.
“You mean… Are we still very likely to win the lawsuit?” Li Qin, who was extremely disappointed just now, perked up immediately when hearing these words. She had thought of exerting pressure on Ye Hao to make him give up Yuanyuan’s custody by means of media. Was that a possibly useful move?
