CHAPTER 1407: CHAPTER 1407 FINALLY DISBANDED

Fang Yinghua wanted to curse again but was silenced by her husband, who covered her mouth.

Wan Nian could tell that Shen Juan’s classmates weren’t ordinary people. When he arrived, there was a car with a Capital license plate parked outside—it was definitely theirs.

He didn’t want his wife to drag their family into trouble by meddling in her younger brother’s affairs, so he said a few words to his in-laws and pulled Fang Yinghua away.

Wan Yinghua wanted to throw a tantrum, but Wan Nian directly said, "Cause any more trouble, and we’re done."

Hearing this, Wan Yinghua finally calmed down.

Shen Juan had come over this time to take away the valuable dowry items from her parents’ home first, to avoid complications if things escalated.

Everything went smoothly on her end, and with the tape recordings in her hand, Shen Juan felt much more assured.

Meanwhile, Fang Ziqiang and Deng Ziru were caught in the act of adultery and dragged to the police station looking disheveled.

Someone had already given a heads-up to the authorities, so even Fang Family’s second son-in-law Gong Zhongda showing up didn’t make a difference.

Father Fang finally realized something was off—it all seemed a bit too coincidental.

Mother Fang caused a huge commotion at the police station, hoping her antics could free her son, but she almost got herself into trouble instead.

With no other option, she spat curses as she reluctantly went home to seek help from her daughter and son-in-law.

The next day, Father Fang received a phone call from Shen Juan. They agreed on a meeting spot before hanging up.

The Fang Family’s second daughter Fang Minghua and her husband Gong Zhongda accompanied Father Fang to the meeting location.

The Shen family didn’t beat around the bush and immediately stated outright, "Divorce. The children’s custody will go to the wife, and child support will be paid according to legal regulations."

Before coming, Fang Family’s second son-in-law had heard that someone influential had stepped in to ensure Fang Ziqiang and Deng Ziru’s matter would be handled by the book—even the Deng family’s connections wouldn’t help. It was evident that the opposing side wasn’t to be trifled with.

On the way over, Gong Zhongda had already hinted to Father Fang that they might have to comply with Shen Juan’s demands.

As soon as Father Fang tried to refute, Lawyer Qie, seated nearby, laid out prepared evidence, showcasing everything piece by piece.

Seeing these materials, Gong Zhongda gave up instantly—this wasn’t negotiation; it was humiliation. What a disgrace! He begrudgingly acknowledged his elder brother-in-law’s cleverness for concocting an excuse to avoid coming.

Father Fang hadn’t anticipated that the Shen family would have gathered so much evidence in advance.

At this point, it wasn’t about whether they agreed or not; the issue was whether the other side would let them off the hook.

Initially, when Fang Ziqiang was choosing a partner, Mother Fang wanted him to marry the Deng family’s daughter because the Deng family held some prestige in Ji City, and their only daughter, Deng Ziru, liked Fang Ziqiang.

However, Father Fang wasn’t keen on the idea for two reasons: one, the Deng family’s daughter was too short and not particularly attractive, and two, he feared future generations might inherit her lack of height.

The Fang family’s physical traits weren’t bad; Fang Yinghua was sturdy and not short, and the rest of them were reasonably presentable.

Because of Father Fang’s interference, Shen Juan, the unfortunate one, ended up in the trap.

Mother Fang figured it’d be fine as long as they had one child—find a pretty woman with a job, have her bear a child, then divorce her, and marry the Deng family’s daughter afterward.

But when Shen Juan couldn’t conceive after two years of marriage, and just as she finally became pregnant, the Deng family’s daughter got married to someone else.

Mother Fang couldn’t let it go though. After Shen Juan gave birth, she instinctively limited Shen Juan’s interaction with the child, thinking that she had to prevent any bond from forming between Shen Juan and the baby—she still had her eyes on the Deng family’s assets.

Perhaps it was fate. Deng Ziru divorced at the end of last year, and since she hadn’t borne any children, Mother Fang was over the moon upon hearing the news. She saw this as a golden opportunity—if her son could marry Deng Ziru, then after the Deng couple passed away, all of the Deng family’s wealth would belong to the Fang family.

So, Mother Fang couldn’t wait to use various ways to torment Shen Juan, forcing Fang Ziqiang to divorce her.

By this point, Father Fang only wanted to get his son out of trouble quickly so everything could be resolved.

Anyway, there was no way things could continue between them and Shen Juan. For his son’s sake, he agreed that custody of the grandson would go to Shen Juan—he just wanted to protect his son, knowing that everything else could still be salvaged.

Finally, both parties quickly reached an agreement: custody of the child went to Shen Juan, wages earned over the years by Shen Juan were to be refunded, an additional compensation of two thousand yuan for emotional damages was provided, and child support payments would follow legal requirements.
