Shocking! The seemingly useless ex-wife is actually an all-around queen!

Chapter 415: Severing Ties, Freezing Funds!

Zhou Jinpeng is worrying about what to eat tonight.

Everyone in the town was someone he knew.

To avoid being recognized by acquaintances.

He deliberately waited until dark before coming out to find something to eat, and he even wore a mask.

As for why he was afraid of being recognized.

Naturally, they were afraid of losing face.

A person lives by his face.

A tree lives by its bark.

In the first half of his life, Zhou Jinpeng disregarded his parents' objections and resolutely married Liu Guifen, who was divorced. For Liu Guifen's children, he worked like a slave and even gave up having a child of his own.

After Liu Guifen died.

The fact that his stepchildren turned their backs on him, taking their biological father in to raise him and kicking him out of the house, has already made them a laughingstock.

now.

Scene reconstruction.

He was kicked out by his own nephew, so how could he face those old acquaintances again?

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's voice, Zhou Jinpeng was stunned for a moment, his face filled with excitement.

But soon.

Zhou Jinpeng calmed down.

You misheard.

You must have misheard.

Jiang Ning is currently in Beijing.

The distance between Beijing and Sichuan is more than 1,000 kilometers.

How could he possibly hear Jiang Ning's voice?

He must have been so eager to see Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Ning these past few days that he started hallucinating.

Zhou Jinpeng continued searching through the trash cans.

Because he only dared to go out in the morning and evening, Zhou Jinpeng didn't eat much at noon.

By now, I was so hungry that my stomach was practically sticking to my back.

He desperately wanted to eat.

Grandpa Jiang looked around curiously. "Ningning, are you sure you're not mistaken? Where's Old Zhou? I can't see him."

Jiang Ning pointed to the figure rummaging through the trash can and said, "That person should be Grandpa Zhou."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang looked in the direction Jiang Ning was pointing.

Upon seeing this, even Grandpa Jiang was slightly taken aback, saying, "Shouldn't it be?"

The person was dressed in tattered clothes, with tangled hair and a mask on his face. He was bent over, intently rummaging through a trash can, looking like a typical homeless person.

Grandpa Jiang simply couldn't connect him with the upright Zhou Jinpeng.

"Let's go take a look first," Jiang Ning continued.

"it is good."

Grandpa Jiang nodded and followed Jiang Ning's footsteps.

Soon, they arrived at the trash can.

Until we got closer.

Only then did Grandpa Jiang dare to believe his eyes.

That's right!

That's right!

This is Zhou Jinpeng!

Grandpa Jiang never imagined that his once cheerful old friend would be reduced to rummaging through garbage cans to make a living.

His pride and self-esteem seemed to have collapsed overnight.

This moment.

Grandpa Jiang felt a lump in his throat, wanting to say something, but after opening his mouth, he found that he couldn't utter a single word.

"Grandpa Zhou!"

Jiang Ning spoke again.

Only when the sound got closer did Zhou Jinpeng dare to believe that he was not hallucinating.

It was Jiang Ning's voice.

Zhou Jinpeng was stunned for a moment, straightened up, and looked up.

This look.

Then he saw Jiang Ning and Grandpa Jiang standing in front of him.

Zhou Jinpeng's eyes instantly reddened, and he trembled all over, saying in disbelief, "Ningning, Old... Old Jiang?? You, how did you all get here?"

Grandpa Jiang also came to his senses at this moment, his eyes reddening as he said, "Old Zhou! What happened to you? Why didn't you answer my calls?"

"Old Jiang!" Zhou Jinpeng was like a wronged child who suddenly saw a family member. His distress burst forth in an instant. He wanted to reach out and hug Old Master Jiang, but then he remembered that he was covered in dirt and quickly withdrew his hand.

Just then, Grandpa Jiang hugged Zhou Jinpeng tightly, exclaiming, "Old Zhou! Old Zhou, we've finally found you!"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Grandpa Jiang would never have believed it was true.

Zhou Jinpeng is a man of great taste.

But now...

Zhou Jinpeng wept bitterly, saying, "Old Jiang, it's all my fault for not listening to what you and Ningning said! I deserve it, I deserve it..."

If time could turn back, Zhou Jinpeng would definitely listen to Jiang Ning.

In fact, when Jiang Ning learned that Zhou Jinpeng's nephews were not in their hometown, she had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

But she didn't expect that.

Zhou Jinpeng would end up making a living by scavenging for garbage.

can only say.

Human nature is sometimes more complex than she imagined!

Jiang Ning continued, "Grandpa, Grandpa Zhou, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go back to the hotel and let Grandpa Zhou take a good bath and calm down before we talk."

Grandpa Jiang nodded. "Ningning is right. Old Zhou, let's go back to the hotel first."

Back at the hotel, Jiang Ning converted Grandpa Jiang's double room into a twin room.

Then she went to a nearby clothing store and bought Zhou Jinpeng two sets of clean clothes and shoes.

Zhou Jinpeng has been living under the bridge for the past few days, and with the continuous torrential rain in Sichuan, his suitcase was washed away long ago.

After taking a shower, shaving, and changing into clean clothes, Zhou Jinpeng looked at himself in the mirror and dared to believe that he was still alive and well in this world.

A few minutes later.

Zhou Jinpeng came out of the restroom.

Jiang Ning also bought the food at this time.

Seeing Zhou Jinpeng come out, Jiang Ning said with a smile, "Grandpa Zhou, come over here, it's just time for us to eat. I also bought some liquor. We don't have anything planned for tomorrow, so you can have a few drinks with Grandpa tonight."

Looking at Jiang Ning, Zhou Jinpeng's nose tingled, and he burst into tears again. "Ningning, thank you, thank you and your grandfather for coming to find me."

He never expected it.

At this critical moment, it was Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Ning who found him and gave him warmth and hope.

Adversity sees the truth.

It was at this moment that Zhou Jinpeng realized the true value of those words.

His nephews were nice to him because of his compensation money from the demolition; only Jiang Ning and Grandpa Jiang were nice to him without any ulterior motives.

He really regrets it now.

Very sorry.

Jiang Ning's words were clearly well-intentioned and meant to help him, but he ignored them completely, taking her kindness for granted.

At this moment, Zhou Jinpeng wished he could slap himself a few times.

“Old Zhou, stop crying,” Grandpa Jiang immediately handed over tissues. “Don’t you think about how many years we’ve been friends? Besides, you helped me a lot back in City A! I haven’t been able to contact you for so many days, how could I not come to you?”

"Old Jiang, thank you, thank you!"

Zhou Jinpeng hugged Grandpa Jiang and burst into tears again.

For a long time.

His emotions gradually calmed down.

Jiang Ning also placed the food she had just bought on the table.

The three of them ate and chatted.

Zhou Jinpeng recounted everything that had happened in the past few days.

Upon hearing what had happened, Grandpa Jiang was furious. "Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! Are these four even human? They're four ingrates! No matter what, you're their uncle, how could they treat you like this?"

They took the money and then turned their backs on us!

How could there be such despicable creatures in the world?

Zhou Jinpeng wiped away his tears. "It's no use saying all this now. It's all my fault for misjudging people."

At this point, Zhou Jinpeng looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Ningning, I'm actually quite ashamed. When you advised me that human nature is complicated, I confidently said that our Zhou family would not produce bad offspring!"

As he finished speaking, Zhou Jinpeng's face was full of self-deprecating smiles.

“Grandpa Zhou, once bitten, twice shy. Since it’s all in the past, there’s no point in bringing it up again.” Jiang Ning took a sip of her drink to moisten her throat. “I just want to ask you one question now.”

“Go ahead and ask,” Zhou Jinpeng said.

Jiang Ning placed the beverage bottle on the table. "Do you want to get this money back?"

We want it back?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jinpeng's eyes widened, and he asked incredulously, "Can...can we get it back?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "During a relationship, the money the man spends on the woman can be reclaimed unless it's explicitly stated as a voluntary gift. Your money is no exception! After all, the premise of you giving them money was that they would support you. Now, not only have they failed to fulfill their support obligations, but they've also kicked you out. They must return every single penny to you!"

Zhou Jinpeng transferred the money to his four nephews via bank transfer.

If you have the transfer record, you have a chance to get your money back!

“But what if they don’t give it to us?” Zhou Jinpeng sighed. “After all, the money is already in their hands.”

Are they willing to give back the fat they've already eaten?

"They won't give it to us?" Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow slightly. "Then we'll go to the court to apply for the freezing of their assets. Once we win the case, they'll be forced to return it."

"So, there's really a chance I can get my money back?" Seeing that there was still hope of getting his money back, Zhou Jinpeng felt a bit more alive.

Jiang Ning nodded slightly. "However, I need to confirm something with you now."

"What's the problem?" Zhou Jinpeng asked.

Jiang Ning continued, "Once we file a lawsuit, it will be like tearing down the pretense of friendship between you and your nephew. There will be no possibility of repairing your relationship! And they will also face all sorts of problems because of losing this windfall. So, are you really determined to sue them?"

Zhou Jinpeng longed for family affection.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have trusted his nephews so much.

Although he has already been hurt once, he was also betrayed before, so there are some things that need to be clarified.

Jiang Ning didn't want to end up working for nothing.

Busy until the very end.

He went back to living happily with his nephews.

What's the point of this?

"Sue them! Of course we'll sue them!" Zhou Jinpeng naturally understood what Jiang Ning meant. "Ningning, don't worry, I've truly come to my senses this time! Not only will I sue them, but I'll also sever all ties with those four ingrates! From now on, I'll have nothing to do with them!"

Zhou Jinpeng felt a chill run down his spine whenever he thought about what he had experienced these past few days.

What about family ties?

Bloodline!

all fake.

All are fake.

He now only feels hatred for those four ingrates!

Only Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Ning are the people who are truly good to him.

“Okay,” Jiang Ning nodded slightly. “I’m relieved to hear that. I’ll contact a lawyer right away. You just need to cooperate with the lawyer.”

Zhou Jinpeng looked at Jiang Ning and said very seriously, "Ningning, I'll do whatever you say now! I'll do whatever you tell me to do!"

After finishing her meal, Jiang Ning went back to her room.

Grandpa Jiang and Zhou Jinpeng were drinking and chatting in the room.

The two drank until late into the night before finally going to sleep.

Because this kind of thing needs to be resolved quickly, Yang Xiaodie took a plane and came the next day.

Jiang Ning took Yang Xiaodie to meet Zhou Jinpeng.

Yang Xiaodie extended her hand to shake hands with Zhou Jinpeng. "Mr. Zhou, would it be convenient for us to talk privately? I need to understand the whole process in detail so that I can better help you win this lawsuit."

“Yes, Attorney Yang.” Zhou Jinpeng nodded.

The two entered the hotel's conference room.

After learning about the whole incident, the two left the meeting room.

Jiang Ning looked at Yang Xiaodie, "Attorney Yang, what are the chances of winning this case?"

Yang Xiaodie smiled and said, "Miss Sun, as long as what Mr. Zhou said is true, then we have about a 90% chance of winning this lawsuit."

Lawyers like to leave themselves a way out.

When Yang Xiaodie said she had a 90% win rate, she was actually saying she had a 100% win rate.

Upon hearing this answer, Grandpa Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Jinpeng is already this age.

He really needs this pension.

Zhou Jinpeng was also very excited: "Really, Attorney Yang? There's a 90% chance of winning this case? I swear to God, everything I've said to you is true! If there's a single lie, may I be struck by lightning!"
