Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 811 - 800: Nouveau Riche

After Ye Qiu and the others left, the private room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and everyone’s face was grim.

"Brother, let’s go back," Yan Juan coldly glared at Cai Baoqin, then looked at Yan Shanshan, "San San, are you coming with us or with your mom?"

Her words carried a dual meaning, asking not just about today but also about whom Yan Shanshan would follow after Cai Baoqin and Yan Jianjun divorced.

Yan Shanshan was undecided, not knowing how to express herself, but after thinking it over, she decided to go with her mom.

She felt her choice was undoubtedly correct; her father had a stroke and there’s no certainty he’ll recover—following him would only mean suffering. Her mom may have been focused on Cai Yaozu, but she was still her biological daughter, and she had a clothing factory, which undoubtedly seemed better than her father’s side. And if her brother regrets it in the future and reconciles with her mom, it might be even better.

Yan Shanshan clung to her fantasies and moved closer to Cai Baoqin, unaware of the disappointment in Yan Jian Country and Yan Juan’s eyes.

"No matter what, you carry the Yan surname. Remember not to do anything that embarrasses the Yan family; I can’t control others, but I can manage you, niece," Yan Jian Country sternly warned her.

Yan Shanshan was startled by his serious tone, but it soon gave way to indifference and a bit of anger. How had she hurt anyone? Why was everyone treating her this way?

Despite the effectiveness of this conversation, at least Cai Baoqin and Yan Shanshan did not go to Jing University to find Ye Shuai, and the rumors regarding his family circumstances at school gradually faded away. At the Affiliated Middle School, Yan Shanshan also didn’t openly target Ye Xiaoxiao, and her secretive attempts to cause trouble were ineffective.

Although they attended the Affiliated Middle School, Ye Xiaoxiao was a high school student while she was in junior high, with their buildings far apart, leaving little to no interaction. Moreover, Ye Xiaoxiao focused on her studies, spending days in her classroom and nights at home. Yan Shanshan simply couldn’t target her. Plus, due to Yan Jianjun’s resignation linked to his hospitalization, her previously close friends, influenced by their families, gradually distanced themselves from her, leaving Yan Shanshan most affected by the situation.

Yu Xiaolin brought a cup of tea to Ye Qiu, curiously asking, "What are you thinking about?"

"Today, Cai Baoqin and Yan Jianjun’s divorce case is going to court," Ye Qiu mentioned casually, though Yu Xiaolin detected a hint of dread in his tone.

She worriedly asked, "Aren’t you afraid your son will resent you if he finds out in the future?"

"No," Ye Qiu confidently replied, "Besides, Cai Baoqin brought it on herself; I only provided the Yan family with a strategy. The evidence was found by them, not me."

"I hope you’re right."

On the day of the divorce hearings, Cai Baoqin attended court with her lawyer, while Yan Jianjun couldn’t appear due to his stroke but had a proxy lawyer appointed by Yan Jian Country.

Thinking about the already transferred joint assets, Cai Baoqin felt both excited and guilty. But given Yan Jianjun still had Yan Jian Country as a big brother, she felt no mental burden.

From the viewing gallery, Yan Juan watched her smugly, letting out a cold chuckle and thinking, "Go ahead and gloat now; soon, you won’t be laughing."

"Has the plaintiff, Cai Baoqin, arrived?" asked the judge sternly.

"Present."

"Has the defendant, Yan Jianjun, arrived?"

"Your Honor, my client is unable to attend due to illness and has appointed me as his full proxy. Here’s the letter of authorization."

"Do both parties have no objections to dissolving the marriage?" The judge asked sternly.

"No objection," Cai Baoqin answered swiftly.

"The defendant?"

"Your Honor, as per my client’s wishes, he has no objection to the divorce either."

"I understand both parties’ positions. Please submit proof of joint assets, plaintiff. Does the defendant, due to severe illness, seek more assets and have any objections?"

Cai Baoqin understood that even if she had objections, it would ultimately yield more to Cai Jianjun; she might as well agree now to appear magnanimous: "No objection, Your Honor."

"Do either the plaintiff or defendant have other demands? If not, I’ll declare judgment according to the law."

Hearing this, Cai Baoqin felt relieved, for she was finally about to be free.

But just then, Yan Jianjun’s lawyer spoke up, "Your Honor, I have an objection."

"What objection?"

"I have evidence here of the plaintiff transferring assets; please verify it, Your Honor."

Upon hearing this, Cai Baoqin froze in place. How did they know she’d transferred assets? She had been so discreet, transferred only a portion to avoid raising the Yan family’s suspicions, yet how did they still find out?

What should she do? She sought help from her proxy lawyer, only to see a look of betrayal and anger in his eyes.

How could the lawyer not be angry? People in their line of work dread clients deceiving and withholding information, as losing a case could directly harm their reputation.

After leaving the court, Cai Baoqin felt dazed, because the Yan family had produced evidence of her asset transfers in the final stage. Though the divorce wasn’t finalized, she knew she lost this case, and if the Yan family sued afterward, she’d end up in even worse failure.

Cai Gen Sheng and Cai Zhaodi hadn’t attended the court today, heeding their daughter’s advice, but upon returning home, they heard news of her losing the case.

"The divorce didn’t go through? Didn’t you say the Yan family had already agreed to the divorce? What’s going on?"

"I told you we should go, but you refused, thinking we’d negatively impact the judge. See, see, without us, things aren’t working smoothly, right?"

"Did the Yan family’s side suddenly have a change of heart? How could they be so lacking in conscience, knowing Yan Jianjun’s condition and still refusing divorce?"

Listening to the complaints and criticisms of her parents, Cai Baoqin felt even more irritated: "Alright, stop talking. What do you even know? I was the one who opposed the divorce."

"You stopped it? Why? What are you thinking? Are you insane, wanting to get caught up with Yan Jianjun? Do you wish to serve him for life?"

"What do you know? The Yan family somehow knew about my asset transfer and presented evidence in court. If I agreed to divorce, other than San San’s support fee, I wouldn’t get a single dime." Cai Baoqin nearly screamed, completely lost and directionless now.
