Chapter 545 Acting in accordance with the law
“General Lin.”
The lawyer in a smart suit handed over the tablet. "This is the complete record of Guo Mingjie transferring money to Mr. Chu. It happened to be using the secondary card of your joint account."
Lin Ci'an swiped the screen, noting "gallery share" for each transfer. The latest one was five hundred thousand three days ago, with the note "medical expense deposit."
"According to Article 17 of the Marriage Law, if common property is used to support a third party during marriage, the victim has the right to recover it."
The lawyer pushed his glasses and said, "But the tricky thing is that Mr. Chu did sign a sponsorship agreement..."
“He didn’t volunteer.”
Lin Ci'an suddenly interrupted, his voice darker than the night outside the window, "Go check his mother's medical records and his father's underground gambling debts."
The lawyer was stunned for a moment, then understood: "Are you trying to prove that Mr. Chu was coerced?"
Lin Ci'an didn't answer, his eyes fell on the door of the ward.
Through the glass window, you can see Chu Ziyu clumsily turning the pages of a book with his left hand, his plaster arm hanging in front of his chest like a bulky ornament.
"besides,"
He retracted his gaze and said, "Apply to list Chu Ziyu as 'property to be returned'."
The lawyer's pen clattered to the ground. "This... this is not customary..."
"It's customary?" Lin Ci'an sneered, "Since Guo Mingjie dared to use the common property to support others, he should think about returning the property to its original owner."
In the ward, Chu Ziyu, who had just had a brief conversation with his lawyer, was complaining to 6872: "He actually wants to take legal action? This is the first time I've seen such a serious way of pursuing his wife!"
6872: "Boss, you are now a 'subject' to be fought over."
"What do you know!"
Chu Ziyu buried his face in the pillow, the exposed tips of his ears were red, "The way he was dressed in a suit and announced in court, 'This is mine'...hiss, hiss..."
The sound of the doorknob turning instantly brought him back to his weak expression.
Lin Ci'an walked in with a chill, holding a thermos bag printed with the logo of a private restaurant.
"Can you sit up?"
He asked stiffly, but his hand was already on Chu Ziyu's back. The warmth of his palm penetrated the hospital gown, burning Chu Ziyu.
The thermos box contains a milky white crucian carp soup, served with a few refreshing side dishes.
Lin Ci'an was very skilled at scooping soup. When he was hospitalized in his previous life, Chu Ziyu fed him one spoonful at a time in the same way.
“Mr. Lin.”
Chu Ziyu suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said, "I will pay back the medical expenses."
Lin Ci'an's hand trembled, and the soup spilled on the bed sheet. He stared at the stain and said in a tense voice: "No need to return it."
"But the lawyer said..."
"That's for the judge."
Lin Ci'an suddenly raised his eyes, with a fire burning in his eyes, "Chu Ziyu, do you really think I treat you as an 'object'?"
The air solidified instantly.
Chu Ziyu's eyelashes trembled violently, casting an uneasy shadow under his eyes.
He opened his mouth but was interrupted by the sudden ringing of his cell phone.
Lin Ci'an glanced at the caller ID and his face suddenly turned cold: "Guo Mingjie."
He pressed the hands-free button, and Guo Mingjie's sneer exploded in the ward: "Lin Ci'an, are you cruel enough? See you in court, right? Don't forget that our marriage is a transaction!"
“It’s a deal.”
Lin Ci'an stared at Chu Ziyu's instantly pale face, "But you shouldn't use my money to support others."
There was a sound of things being thrown on the other end of the phone: "Ha! You finally said it? You don't care about my cheating at all, you only care about the money! Why are you pretending to be affectionate!"
Lin Ci'an hung up the call directly and found that Chu Ziyu was clutching the corner of the quilt tightly with his left hand, with his knuckles turning white.
“It’s not like that.”
