The situation took a turn for the better with the arrival of the lawyer. Zong Zeyu was initially skeptical, but after listening to the lawyer's words, he became convinced that someone was guiding Ke Wenjie from behind.
Zong Zeyu also called in his own lawyer, worried that Ke Wenjie might be pulling a fast one. He didn’t understand the divorce process, but his lawyer certainly did. The divorce was briefly settled, and Zong Zeyu ordered his bodyguard to release Ke Wenjie.
As Zong Zeyu and Tong Le watched the Male Lawyer lead Ke Wenjie away, both wore expressions of surprise. They exchanged glances; Tong Le could hardly believe it. Did Ke Wenjie really agree to the divorce? And she even signed the papers? Was that true?
Tong Le pinched her own face, feeling a bit of pain. Zong Zeyu did the same, squeezing Tong Le's cheek with enough force to make her yelp, "Ouch! That hurts!"
Zong Zeyu then gently rubbed her small face and replied, "It’s true, but we still have to wait for the paperwork and procedures. We can’t let our guard down just yet; I’m worried that Ke Wenjie might be deceiving us."
With a hint of happiness, Tong Le said, "I know. I’ll only feel completely at ease when we get the divorce certificate."
She pondered aloud about the Hua Jie mentioned by the Male Lawyer. "Who is this Hua Jie? After all these years with Ke Wenjie, I’ve never heard of anyone named Hua Jie."
Zong Zeyu had heard of this person too, but it seemed that this so-called Hua Jie was instrumental in pushing them toward divorce.
"You’ve made some progress with your divorce," Zong Zeyu began, "so what about our marriage—"
Before he could finish, Tong Le turned and headed toward the elevator. "I’m off work now; it’s time to go home. I won’t be coming here tomorrow. There’s a mountain of work waiting for me at Tongshan Real Estate. I’ve been hiding out here for days; it’s time to get back to work."
Zong Zeyu followed closely behind, slightly displeased. "Don’t change the subject."
Once they were in the elevator, Zong Zeyu deliberately cornered Tong Le against the wall. She turned her head away, feeling guilty. "I should remind you that I’m not officially divorced yet."
Zong Zeyu boldly declared, "My reputation as Zong Xiao San has spread far and wide; does it matter whether you’re divorced or not?"
Tong Le pushed against his chest but found herself outmatched by his strength. "That doesn’t mean anything!"
Just as Zong Zeyu opened his mouth to respond, the elevator doors slid open. Tong Le crouched down and slipped out from under his arm.
Zong Zeyu turned to chase after her, calling out loudly, "I’ll take you home!"
Tong Le shouted back while running away, "I can go back by myself! Bye!"
Zong Zeyu ran a couple of steps but didn’t pursue her any further. Tong Le darted out of the lobby like a little rabbit and disappeared from sight, clearly determined not to let him escort her.
With a helpless smile, Zong Zeyu thought to himself that he would just consider Tong Le shy.
On the other side, inside the car, Ke Wenjie sat with the Male Lawyer, who reminded him, "I've conveyed Hua Jie's intentions to you. The Zong Family has a powerful background. If you push them too hard, no matter how much money Hua Jie spends, she won't be able to save you. Right now, their only demand is divorce. If you cooperate with the divorce process, Hua Jie will help you make a comeback later. But if you continue to drag that woman surnamed Tong into this and oppose the Zong Family while hoping to rely on Hua Jie, she won't agree to it. What Hua Jie has today is built on her strong connections and good relationships."
Ke Wenjie took a deep breath. He couldn't refuse because it was Hua Rongxiao's order. However, he never expected that the key point for agreeing to the divorce would ultimately be because of Hua Rongxiao.
Ke Wenjie asked with confusion, "What is your relationship with Hua Jie? Are you just her attorney? You seem to know a lot about Hua Rongxiao."
The Male Lawyer smiled slightly. "I used to be the lawyer for Hua Jie's ex-husband. After my former employer passed away, Hua Jie became my boss."
Ke Wenjie pondered this; it made sense why the lawyer was so knowledgeable about Hua Jie's affairs.
The Male Lawyer cautioned him, "In the next few days, don't contact Hua Jie. She won't have time to see you."
Ke Wenjie was puzzled. "Why not? Is she going out or something?"
The Male Lawyer casually smiled. "Hua Jie is getting married. The man is someone of prestige and status. You shouldn't interfere with her at this time."
Ke Wenjie thought he must have misheard. He had just reconciled with Hua Rongxiao; how could it be that suddenly, Hua Rongxiao was getting married? A woman of her age was getting married again?
