After their marriage, Xu Shengnan alone had paid for the mortgage, and she had paid for almost seventy percent! Even if the couple had paid for it together, Fang Shiyou had cheated. The Fang family should not be allowed to keep the house for themselves. Even though Xu Shengnan’s name was not in the house deed, Xu Shengnan still had a share in it. Fang Shiyou could not deny that.

Mr. Fang, please calm down. This matter can’t be resolved by rushing through it. I’m sorry to inform you that it’s impossible for the Fang family to gain full control of the house. Moreover, Madam Xu has the greatest share of the house you’re living in now.


I don’t believe you! You’re such a weird lawyer! I’m the one who hired you and will pay you, but you’re helping Xu Shengnan! I want to change lawyers! I want to change lawyers!
At this point in time, Fang Shiyou was really in a frenzy. Not only did the house not belong to him, but Xu Shengnan held the majority of it. No! This could not be happening!

Sure, you can change lawyers. I’ll return the money to you.
He really did not wish to handle such a case like this. As they were both men, the lawyer really felt that it was too embarrassing that there were men like Fang Shiyou around.
But I’ll leave you with a piece of advice. It’s not that there’s no way that you can continue sticking to your guns in this case, but even if you change lawyers and hire the best lawyer in the world, the house will still not be yours.

With that, the lawyer picked up his briefcase and prepared to leave.
With a client like Fang Shiyou who was full of lies, lacked cooperation, and even threw a tantrum toward him, the lawyer declared that he would never want to see Fang Shiyou ever again. He wanted to earn money, but not Fang Shiyou’s.

No!
Now that the lawyer was really going to leave, Fang Shiyou panicked again.
I spent money to hire you. You have to help me solve the problem at the very least. Is there really no other way?
Fang Shiyou could not help but pull the lawyer aside and said in a soft voice,
Lawyer, please help me. I’m willing to pay whatever it takes. I’ll agree to whatever requests Xu Shengnan wants in this divorce, but the house is mine. What other way is there?

He would rather spend more money on the lawyer than let Xu Shengnan have the house.
If it was not for anything else, the house itself had increased in value in the seven or eight years that they had been living in it. The money that they had spent on buying such a large house would not even pay for a small apartment in the same location today.
No matter what his intentions were, the house could never be Xu Shengnan’s.

There is, but only one.
The lawyer’s gaze was cold. He felt that this method would never work. He would not talk about how ruthless and cold-blooded his opponent’s client was, but his client was not only stupid but also ruthless.
If it were him, he would never agree to these terms whether it was for love or just to show his anger.
Fang Shiyou did not notice the coldness in his lawyer’s eyes and beamed.
What way is there?


For the female party to voluntarily give up her rights and sign the agreement.


How is that possible? Xu Shengnan will never agree to it!
If Xu Shengnan agreed to it, the lawyer that she had hired would not even mention the issue of the house today.

Then, there is no way.
The lawyer shrugged, his face showing his helplessness.

Other than this method, is there really no other way?
Fang Shiyou was anxious. He had thought that it would be easy to get a divorce. Why had it become so tricky now?

No, so it’s best you discuss this with your wife.


…
Fang Shiyou thought about it and sat back down in his seat, letting out an innocent smile that Xu Shengnan was once familiar with.
Shengnan, we’ve been married for almost ten years. Now that we’re separating, why make it so difficult for the both of us and make everyone sad? Can we separate amicably? My mom is already so old. Just take it as though you’re comforting my mom and let her enjoy her old age. Will you stop fighting with me over the house? That house was originally—


That’s impossible!
Xu Shengnan cut in without hesitation.
Don’t talk to me about how we’ve been a couple. If you really cherished our relationship, you wouldn’t have a mistress and a baby in her tummy. I just want to take back what is mine. I’m already being nice by not having you hand over all our marital assets. In short, you have to return me whatever is mine. If you don’t want to split the house, that’s fine. But I’ve made a record of how much I’ve paid the bank over these years. You know how much the property prices have risen in the capital. Seeing that your mom is in her old age, I can take one step back.

Xu Shengnan took a deep breath with firm determination in her eyes.
I don’t need you to pay me back according to the market value of my shares of the house. Just return me the amount that I’ve paid for the mortgage over these past few years.

Xu Shengnan was already giving in significantly.
When they first purchased the house, it cost slightly more than five million yuan. When they made the down payment, the Fang family had produced about nine hundred thousand, while Xu Shengnan had paid the remaining one hundred thousand. In the end, Xu Shengnan had been the one paying the monthly mortgage that amounted to almost four million yuan.
The problem was that the house not only occupied an area of over a hundred square meters, but it was also situated in a good neighborhood. Now, there was no way of purchasing such a good property with only five million yuan, so if she were to go by the market value, the Fang family would have to pay Xu Shengnan at least eight to nine million yuan.
The Fang family was really at a great advantage now that Xu Shengnan was asking for only four million yuan.
But the problem was that Fang Shiyou could not fork out even four million yuan. If he could do so, would he have married Xu Shengnan? In fact, Xu Shengnan felt that Fang Shiyou was honest, but Fang Shiyou despised Xu Shengnan for being too dominant and lacking femininity. But she had graduated from a prestigious university, had a good job, and had a high salary.
With such a comparison, he had gotten a good deal when they got married.
Indeed, after marriage, Xu Shengnan had been the one paying the mortgage, while he could choose to spend his salary freely. As such, Fang Shiyou was rather arrogant in front of his friends.

Shengnan, you’re clear of my family’s situation. How can we suddenly afford to pay you such a huge sum of money? Don’t be too greedy and force us to our deaths.
Where would he get such a huge sum of money?
