In the end, Ning Wentao decided to go to court.
The worst case scenario was that he would lose the case. Cao Xuehua would not only be able to claim that she had lied to him for eight years, but she would also be able to take away half of Ning Meng's shares …
For the sake of their future, he had to fight for it.
Huo Beichen introduced the best lawyer to Ning Wentao, and on the day of the court hearing, Ning Meng accompanied Ning Wentao to the court.
When they were resting backstage, they bumped into Cao Xuehua.
Her lawyer was standing behind her, and he kindly reminded Ning Wentao, "Mr. Ning, there is no problem with this prenuptial agreement. Ms. Cao will definitely win. Why don't we withdraw the case and settle it privately?"
Of course, the lawyer did not want to offend Ning Wentao, especially Huo Beichen. He lowered his voice and said, "I've already persuaded my client. Madam Cao Xuehua is only willing to take ten percent of the company's shares and give up the rest in exchange for the release of her daughter, Su Tiantian. What do you think?"
10% of the company's shares was very low.
From the lawyer's point of view, it was a good deal to exchange Su Tiantian's 10 years of imprisonment for 40% of the company's shares. That was a lot of money!
He had tried his best to negotiate with Cao Xuehua.
Ning Wentao could feel the kindness from Cao Xuehua's lawyer, but he still shook his head firmly.
He slowly said, "When it comes to Su Tiantian, I will not give in."
The lawyer sighed. "Then, I have no other choice. Mr. Ning, I wish you the best of luck. "
Ning Wentao nodded.
Cao Xuehua, who was standing beside the lawyer, looked at Ning Wentao with a complicated expression. She said, "Wentao, we've been husband and wife for eight years. Do you really not care about it?"
Ning Wentao sneered. "I can care about it. I'll give you a house and one million yuan. It's enough for you to spend the rest of your life. If you're willing, you can take these things and leave. If you want to go through the legal process, then the final result will be strictly enforced!"
Cao Xuehua's eyes turned cold. After a while, she sneered. "You … You're really ruthless! Ning Wentao, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person! "
In the past, when they were married, Ning Wentao had always given Cao Xuehua face. Although Cao Xuehua knew that it was because he had saved her life, they were still husband and wife after all. She didn't believe that Ning Wentao didn't have any feelings for her, but today …
The look in Cao Xuehua's eyes changed from hurt to ruthlessness. "Then just wait for the company to change its name!"
If she took 50% of Ning Wentao's shares, then she could unite with the other shareholders and make Ning Wentao a mere figurehead!
Thinking of this, Cao Xuehua's eyes became even more vicious. She turned around and was about to leave.
Halfway through, she suddenly turned back. "What's wrong? Why didn't Han Meilin come on such an important day? Doesn't she love you? "
Ning Wentao said, "What does it have to do with her? It's about our divorce."
Cao Xuehua gritted her teeth in anger.
She understood.
Today's incident would definitely attract a lot of reporters. At that time, if Han Meilin was present, then she would most likely have the reputation of being a mistress.
Ning Wentao didn't want Han Meilin to come over because he wanted to protect her.
Cao Xuehua felt sad.
When she was with Ning Wentao in the past, although they were not husband and wife, Ning Wentao had always taken care of her. As long as it did not affect Ning Meng's interests, Ning Wentao was very considerate to her.
Otherwise, he would not have taken care of Su Tiantian for so many years.
But now, this kind of care and warmth had been given to another woman.
Ning Wentao no longer belonged to her.
This realization made Cao Xuehua clench her fists tightly.
She quickly took a deep breath. Without this person, she would have to hold on to the money in her hands. As long as she had the money, she could have as many men as she wanted.
Cao Xuehua turned around and followed the lawyer into the court.
After Cao Xuehua had left, Ning Meng looked at Ning Wentao.
Ning Wentao sighed bitterly. "Mengmeng, if we really lose the lawsuit, don't hold a grudge against me! Don't worry, I will give you the two houses that I gave to your brother. I won't mistreat you. "
Ning Zhi, who was standing at the side, was speechless.
'Don't you know who you have mistreated?
Forget it. He had been tortured over and over again, so he had gotten used to it.
He rolled his eyes and picked up the apple in the reception room. He was about to take a bite, but before he could eat it, a slap came over. "Your father, I, is about to go to court, and you're still eating here? Do you have a conscience? All you know is to eat. What's the difference between you and a pig?! "
Ning Zhi was speechless.
Ning Zhi watched as the apple in his hand was snatched away. Ning Wentao passed the apple to Ning Meng and smiled. "Mengmeng, what are you doing? Eat an apple to replenish your energy ~ "
Ning Zhi was speechless.
Ning Meng was already used to this. She took a bite of the apple and said, "Delicious."
Ning Wentao put on a proud look. "Mengmeng, you're so cute. Even when you're eating, you look so good. The best things in this world should belong to you!"
Ning Zhi was speechless.
Ning Meng was speechless.
Ning Meng did not reply. She pursed her lips and ate a few more bites of the apple.
Ning Zhi helplessly leaned on the sofa, planning to rest for a while. The next moment, a kick came at him. "Hurry up and get ready to go. The court is about to start. Why are you still lying down?"
After saying this, he smiled at Ning Meng. "Mengmeng, don't rush. Eat slowly. Don't choke."
"…"
Ning Meng quickly finished the apple, and the three of them set off for the court.
Cao Xuehua's lawyer was very professional. He had dealt with many divorce cases. He described Cao Xuehua as a housewife who relied on her husband at home. Finally, he took out the prenuptial agreement and said, "This prenuptial agreement has been verified to be valid. Mr. Ning, do you have any objections?"
Ning Wentao could only nod. "No."
The lawyer was stunned.
He had focused his argument on whether the prenuptial agreement was valid or not, and whether the company's shares were the current ones or the ones that had been signed in the past. He did not expect Ning Wentao to admit it.
Admit it?
The lawyer was dumbfounded. "According to this agreement, if you're the one who filed for divorce, you'll have to pay my client 50% of your shares. May I know if you're the one who filed for divorce?"
"Yes."
Ning Wentao said again.
"???"
The lawyer looked at him. "Then, do you agree to transfer 50% of your shares to my client's name?"
Ning Wentao smiled when he heard this.
He straightened his body, and his elegant appearance gave people a sense of maturity. He said calmly, "I don't agree."
I've had a good New Year. I've been eating and sleeping every day. I've gained weight! Cough! Cough! I've been writing at least 2,000 to 4,000 words every day. This is the most comfortable New Year I've ever had in my ten years of writing. Thank you for your understanding. I love you! I'll continue to ask for monthly votes!
