"What a joke! I am Coco's mother. Plus, her father doesn't even have the ability to raise her. Why can't I get my daughter back?"
"Lawyers, don't think that you can fool me. No matter how good you are at arguing, you can't change the fact that Coco is my daughter."
"It's only right and proper for a mother to want her daughter back."
As soon as the lawyer heard this, it was obvious that Mother Lee was an unreasonable woman. So, the lawyer directly handed a letter to Mother Lee, "Before you want Coco back, let's first settle a few things. Firstly, you abandoned your husband and daughter. When you first divorced your husband, you didn't raise Coco at all. In fact, you even abandoned her. So, let's talk about your legal responsibilities first."
"Secondly, even if you really want to get back custody of Coco, the court will definitely investigate your finances. With your current circumstances, are you sure you want to go to court?"
"Madam, we all know what your motive is. But, I can assure you that if you go to court, not only will you not get Coco back, you will also be charged with abandonment. According to our country's laws, abandonment is punishable by up to 7 years in prison."
"Think carefully..."
Mother Lee was obviously intimidated by the lawyer's words. After all, abandonment and finances were two black marks on her that couldn't be erased.
"Even if I can't get Coco back, as Coco's mother, she's currently earning a lot of money. Isn't it natural for her to be filial to her mother?"
In the lawyer's eyes, this woman was a complete scoundrel.
That's why Father Lee was clung onto by a woman like this and ended up being abandoned by her.
"Madam, you seem to have made a mistake. Today, you won't be going to court to fight for custody of Coco. But, we can still sue you for abandonment. If you really want to 'get in', I don't mind."
"You still want money?"
The lawyer sneered as he watched Mother Lee's face turn from red to white.
"A jerk like you doesn't deserve to be a mother. Just wait and see, your husband's children will kick you out of the family very soon."
"One last thing, Coco's value is indeed different now. But, she's still not someone that someone like you can climb up to. If you appear in front of Coco again, I can guarantee that you won't miss a single day of your 7 years in prison. If you don't believe me, you can try me."
After speaking, the lawyer turned around with his team and met up with Coco and her father.
"Let's go, it's settled."
"Won't that woman come looking for me again?" Coco asked.
"Don't worry, I won't." He then carried Coco in his arms. As they parted ways, he turned to Father Lee and said, "Mr. Lee, I'm not sure if you've heard of the saying, 'The weak are the ones who do the most evil'. I'm sure you've tried your best, but you won't be able to protect Coco like this. I suggest you hand Coco over to Superstar Media and let them manage her future. "
After Li Du's father heard this, he knew that the lawyer was telling the truth. He nodded at the lawyer. "Thank you, lawyer. I will consider it carefully."
"It's not a consideration. It's a necessity."
After that, the lawyer got into his car and left the father and daughter's sight.
Coco looked at her father's hurt expression and felt a little sad, "Daddy, you're actually good enough..."
"But Dad is really weak." Father Lee sighed. "Coco, let's learn together. You learn how to act and I learn how to become strong."
"OK, I promise, Daddy."
The father and daughter promised to stay away from the scary woman. But, just as the lawyer predicted, as soon as Mother Lee returned home, she was quickly chased out by her husband's children. The reason was simple: the woman had borrowed a lot of money from them. So, for the sake of the house, they demanded that Mother Lee pay them back. But, how could Mother Lee pay them back?
In the end, she was kicked out of the house...
After hearing about this, Coco did not show much emotion. It was like she was listening to someone else's mother talk about how pitiful her life was.
Afterwards, she threw herself back into filming. She said that she wanted to thank everyone that had helped her and that she would do her best to learn and do her best...
...
Xia Hanmo and Zhou Qing had already met up a few times in private. Practically all of them were done behind Xia Hanmo's back. As long as Xia Hanmo was at home, Zhou Qing would come up with all sorts of romantic ideas to make her experience an unforgettable one.
That night, Zhou Qing arranged to meet Xia Hanmo downstairs again. But, because Lin Qian still had something to give Xia Hanmo, she turned around and ran into Xia Hanmo and Zhou Qing taking a stroll in a nearby park.
No wonder Xia Hanmo smiled a lot more these past few days. She originally thought that the filming was going smoothly, but it seemed, Zhou Qing had secretly made a move.
Lin Qian didn't know how deep Xia Hanmo had fallen. But, if she told Xia Hanmo now, she would definitely not listen. If she did, she would fall into Zhou Qing's trap and cause their relationship to drift apart.
What was she supposed to do?
Lin Qian thought about it for a while and finally decided to give Tangning a phone call, "Ning Jie, I saw Xia Hanmo and Zhou Qing on a date tonight. Is there any way to stop them from seeing each other?"
"Since Xia Hanmo is now afraid of you and has her guard up against you for something so important, let's beat her at her own game. Let's spread news of them going on a date. Afterwards, use the excuse that they can't be involved in a scandal to temporarily separate them from each other."
Tangning instructed.
"OK, I understand."
Lin Qian didn't like to use underhanded methods, but this time, she did it to protect her friend and her artist. Zhou Qing's true colors were hidden too well, so he wasn't worth being friends with.
The next day, the newspapers published news of the couple going on a date that was suspected to be real. As soon as Lin Qian saw the news, she immediately gave Xia Hanmo a phone call, "Hanmo, don't get too close to Zhou Ge for now. There's already a scandal going around."
"But, how did news like this get out?" Not only did Xia Hanmo not listen to Lin Qian's advice, she even began to suspect Lin Qian.
The reason for this was because Zhou Qing saw Lin Qian's car return to her neighborhood while they were on a walk the previous night. Afterwards, the news started to spread. Of course, Xia Hanmo suspected that Lin Qian had leaked the news. After all, it wasn't the first time she had been betrayed by her manager.
"Hanmo, what are you trying to say?"
"I'm not trying to say anything. I understand, "Xia Hanmo replied half-heartedly before she hung up the phone. At this time, Zhou Qing was standing by her side.
"I don't know what's wrong with Lin Qian."
"It's fine. She's probably trying to stop us from being together," Zhou Qing laughed.
But, it was obvious that Lin Qian had lost this round. This also confirmed Zhou Qing's suspicion that Lin Qian had overheard his phone call.
