Stealing Your Heart

Qin Ya refused to believe that someone would take their child along in their suicide attempt.

Meanwhile, Su Zhan’s office was swarmed by the other lawyers in the firm the moment he announced that he was taking over the case.

“Mr. Su, there’s no way we can win this!”

“That’s right! The best we could do is get the Lu family to compensate for the losses. Besides, the death of the boy would make this even more complicated. We can’t get carried away by our fantasies! We have to deal with the reality!”

“What reality?” Su Zhan asked.

“There are things that we have to acknowledge, Mr. Su,” Mr. Chen said. “Not everything will turn out fair and square, especially marriages. Is cheating on one’s spouse is considered a crime or not? Obviously not! What’s the point of fighting for this? The woman’s dead and no amount of money will ever be enough to console the family.”

“The best we can do is to fight for some form of compensation to the woman’s family since there’s no way we can throw the man in jail without offending his family. Don’t you think that it’s pointless?”

Mr. Chen tried his best to discourage Su Zhan from taking on the case.

“So you’re saying that we shouldn’t take on the case?” Qin Ya asked, knowing full well that Mr. Chen was not in favor of it.

Mr. Chen had a point. The man had cheated on his wife, but nothing in the constitution dictated that it was a crime. The woman died from suicide, not from homicide, which would only make it harder for Su Zhan to come up with charges against the man.
