Chapter 5 – Gathering Evidence (1)
Shu Yan was not the type to go down without a fight. Ye Zhiqiang and Li Jiaojiao have been seen together day and night and that was the best evidence. Unfortunately, nobody would testify for her due to the difference in social status between the two of them. If witnesses were not an option, she would need to gather physical evidence.
She’d need to hire a PI or something to get intimate photos of Ye Zhiqiang and Li Jiaojiao, preferably if they could catch them in bed together. It wasn’t just women that valued reputation. Reputation was also very important to Ye Zhiqiang. If she has photos in hand, the ball would be in her court.
Basing on her calculation, Li Jiaojiao was already pregnant. That was the only reason why Ye Zhiqiang wanted to rush to have a divorce. She needed to figure out which hospital Li Jiaojiao was having her checkups. It would be best if could get her hands on the hospital reports.
She didn’t have much time left. Ye Zhiqiang was forcing the original owner to get a divorce. He might not take any actions himself, but he was a contractor. He had plenty of men working for him. When a man decides to have something done, they
She immediately got up to get dressed so she could go out and look for help. Standing in front of the wall mirror, her high spirit was immediately knocked down a notch. She wasn’t exactly a pretty girl, but she wasn’t ugly either. She was average, but when she cleaned up nicely, she would still get a praise or two here and there.
But this one in the mirror?
She was at most 1.57 meter. She wasn’t tall, yet she was fat, probably around 65 kg. And her stomach, she looked like she was 7-8 months pregnant. Her skin was dark and coarse. Most importantly was her face, she had melasma all over her face, and her hair was a mess. She looked like she was over 40 years old. The only saving grace was that her features weren’t too bad, but that still couldn’t withstand the horrible way she had been treating herself. She turned away, discouraged. The first thing that she must do after her divorce was to lose weight, then work on improving her skin and the melasma condition. She might not become pretty one day, but she could at least look lively and 25 years old.
There wasn’t much clothing inside the closet. Shu Yan casually pulled out some casual wear and put on a pair of popular plastic sandals and headed downstairs.
The house was five-story tall. The first floor made up of the living room and the kitchen, the second floor has two bedrooms located in the front and back. The front one belonged to original owner and Ye Zhiqiang. Granted, Ye Zhiqiang rarely came back anymore, so it was mostly just the original owner and Ye Tianbao. The one in the back belonged to Ye Jingjing. The third to fifth floor were just painted white, with no furnishings.
This house was given to Ye Zhiqiang by a customer of his who couldn’t pay his bills. Its current value was around $15,000. Nineteen years later, it would be worth around $5-$6 million, and that was if someone was selling one.
Shu Yan looked around quickly. The house was very quiet. The two children were staying with their grandmother in the village. This gave her the perfect opportunity to focus on gathering evidence.
