Stealing Your Heart Chapter 789


    “I can’t go home. I’m going to sue my son-inw. I’ve been to a feww firms, but they’ve refused to


    take me in after I told them that I was going to sue the Lu family.” With that, the elderly woman was


    about to burst into tears again.


    Su Zhan remained calm as he handed her the cup of water. “Here, have some water. Drink it slowly.”


    Qin Ya wasn’t familiar with B City yet. She leaned nearer to Su Zhan’s ear and asked softly, “Is the Lu


    family powerful?”


    Otherwise, why would the otherw firms refuse to take up the case?


    Su Zhan whispered, “They are an influential family.”


    There were plenty of wealthy and powerful families in B City.


    The elderly woman’s eyes were puffy from crying. She had clearly been crying for some time after


    running into trouble.


    She reached out and took the water from Su Zhan. After taking a gulp, her throat felt so much better.


    Su Zhan told the receptionist to refill her cup, but she immediately refused. “No need, no need.”


    The receptionist refilled her cup.


    The elderly woman had calmed down by now. “My daughter had died a wrongful death!”


    Su Zhan massaged his temples. She’s getting emotional once again.


    Just as he thought, the elderly woman started wailing again.


    It took her a while to finally calm down and exin her situation.


    She told her story in snippets, but they got the gist of it. Apparently, her daughter had married into a


    wealthy family and had given birth to a son, but her son-inw had cheated on her daughter and had


    even told the son to call his mistress “Mom.”


    Her daughter epted the fact and refused to get a divorce, but the wealthy Lu family insisted on a


    divorce. Her daughter received a house and two million as her divorce settlement. However, her


    daughter insisted on taking full custody of her son.


    As the son was the only heir of the Lu family, they refused to give up the custody.


    Her daughter couldn’t ept the fact that her son was calling another woman “Mom.” She was utterly


    distressed and jumped down from the building that she had received from her ex-husband together


    with her son.


    As she had leaped from the twentieth floor, her body was entirely disfigured.


    The Lu family was furious. She could die, but why did shemit suicide with the child?


    Hence, the elderly woman thought that her daughter had died a wrongful death. The Lu family were the


    ones who had driven her daughter to death, so she decided to sue her ex-son-inw.


    After hearing her story, Qin Ya was terrified. Her expression soured immediately.


    Su Zhan told her to go to his office, but she refused to move an inch.


    “The otherw firms dared not take my case as I’ve wanted to sue the Lu family. So…”


    “Do you have evidence that your son-inw had an extra-marital affair?” questioned Su Zhan.


    The elderly woman eximed, “My daughter saw them with her own eyes—”


    Su Zhan interrupted her. “I mean substantial evidence. Your daughter is dead, so she can’t be a


    witness. Besides, she hadmitted suicide. If you don’t have any substantial evidence, no one will


    dare to take your case. The other party is rich and powerful, but you don’t even have any evidence.


    Think about it. Did your daughter leave any evidence behind?”


    The elderly woman was agitated. “He’s going to marry that mistress of his. Is that not enough


    evidence?”


    Su Zhan replied, “You need evidence to prove that she’s a mistress. Otherwise, she can sue you for


    defaming her.”


    The elderly woman fell silent.


    Qin Ya poked Su Zhan, hoping he would get her hint and stop scaring the elderly woman.


    “What shall I do?” the elderly woman sobbed.


    “Go back home and look through everything that your daughter has left behind. Try to recall everything


    that she had said. When you have decisive evidence,e to me.”


    The elderly woman was stunned. “You mean, you’ve agreed to take my case?” She whipped out a card


    from her bag excitedly. “I want to seek justice for my daughter. There is three million in this ount.


    You can have it all.”


    Her daughter had received over two million after the divorce. Including the money that her daughter


    had given her and her husband all over the years, there was a total of three million in that ount. She


    had merely wanted to seek justice for her daughter.


    Su Zhan pushed the card back to her. “You should go home and consider whether you’d want to sue


    him or not.”


    “Are you declining this case?” The elderly woman’s expression fell.


    Su Zhan said nothing and stood up, gesturing for the receptionist to send her out.


    Qin Ya was puzzled. “Are you afraid of getting into trouble?”


    “No one agreed to take her case because they couldnd up in trouble,” exined Su Zhan.


    However, Qin Ya pitied that elderly woman.


    “This should have made it to the headlines in B City. Why don’t I remember seeing it before?”


    “They must have stopped the news from getting published,” Su Zhan responded.


    Sighing, Qin Yamented, “They are forcing the poordy into a corner.”


    Su Zhan looked at her. “She’s not poor. Look, she has three million in her bank ount.”


    “That’s her divorce settlement,” returned Qin Ya.


    Su Zhan came over and pulled her in for a hug. “The man isn’t that bad. He gave her money and a


    house after their divorce. She was heartless enough to havemitted suicide with her innocent son in


    the most extreme manner possible. That was rather selfish of her.”


    Qin Ya, too, thought that thedy had gone too far bymitting suicide with her son. After getting


    pregnant once, Qin Ya knew how important a child was to its mother.


    She must have been too desperate, seeing as she was willing to die together with her son.


    “You should investigate the incident. Even if you won’t take it, I want to find out what had happened.”


    Su Zhan pinched her nose affectionately. “You’re that interested in the gossip?”? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Upon mulling over this briefly, Qin Ya refuted, “No, this isn’t gossip.”


    Hence, Su Zhan agreed with her wishes. He would find out what had happened exactly before making


    up his mind.


    “You should do more good deeds to earn some karma. We might seed in our next attempt,” Qin Ya


    added softly.


    Su Zhan felt a chill creep up his spine instantly. It was alright for Grandma Su to say that, but he


    couldn’t ept the fact that it was Qin Ya. “You’re superstitious too?”


    One superstitious grandma is enough!


    He panicked and tried to exin himself. “Our attempt had failed not because we didn’t earn karma.


    We didn’t do anything bad, so this is meant to be. If we aren’t meant to be getting a baby now, no


    matter how hard we try, we’ll never seed.”
