So She Was a Little Rich Girl After All

Li Xuezhen did not understand why Su Bai had asked her to do this, but she knew one thing.

If Lawyer Su called it crucial evidence, it would definitely be a huge help to the case!

Since it would be such a huge help, obtaining it was her job as an intern lawyer!

She had to complete her assignment.

By that reasoning, she would be playing an important role in the case, even as an intern lawyer.

That evening.

As a female university student doing an internship, Li Xuezhen returned to her dorm at Nandu University of Law.

In the dorm, her roommates were discussing where to go for fun the next day.

Li Xuezhen hunched over her phone, searching for the short-video creator Zhang Tongwei had mentioned.

[Lawyer Ye Fei (Years of experience specializing in marriage law, over a hundred marital lawsuits handled, and some knowledge of criminal law pertaining to marriage)]

Li Xuezhen put on her earphones and opened Lawyer Ye Fei's profile.

The video titles were all along the same lines.

[How women can protect their rights in marriage, secure more marital assets after divorce, and leave their husbands with nothing]

[How women seeking a divorce can maximize their gains]

[Women sacrifice so much in marriage. How can we use the law as a weapon to protect ourselves?]

Li Xuezhen swiped across the screen, opening one representative video after another.

The more she watched, the deeper she frowned.

How should she put it? The content of these videos...

There was nothing wrong with protecting your rights in a divorce, but Lawyer Ye Fei's videos were entirely about exploiting legal loopholes to teach people how to acquire their spouses' premarital assets, even creating loopholes to exploit.

To put it bluntly.

It was tantamount to stealing the other person's private premarital property.

And some people in the comments were actually applauding it.

Some bragged about the tangible benefits they had gained, with nothing but agreement and envy in the replies.

"I'm so jealous, girl. You must have gotten quite a haul this time, right? Tell us so we can be insanely jealous!"

"You're amazing, girl! You've got this! I'm learning from you. Go, go, go!"

"Hahaha, it wasn't that much. It was mostly because Lawyer Ye Fei was so good. I hired her, and without contributing a single cent to our marital assets, I got sixty percent of his property!"

"Wow, that's amazing! Share your experience! Girls help girls. Teach us!"

And so on.

The farther Li Xuezhen read, the deeper her brow furrowed. She simply could not understand this behavior.

Stealing someone else's property this way showed a complete lack of morals!

These people were treating marriage as a business transaction!

No!

This was not a business transaction!

They were treating it purely as a way to cash in!

Walking away with hundreds of thousands or even millions after a year of marriage-wasn't that outright marriage fraud?!

As a woman herself, Li Xuezhen could not understand this behavior at all as she read the comments and watched the videos.

But she needed to collect evidence.

The crucial evidence Su Bai had mentioned. So Li Xuezhen left a plea for help beneath every video.

Once she was done.

A sweet-looking roommate suddenly came over to her.

"Xuezhen, what are you doing? You've been so busy interning at the law firm lately. You must be exhausted, right?"

Li Xuezhen was neither particularly close to her roommates nor distant from them. They were simply roommates and friends.

"It's been okay. Not too tiring. It's fulfilling, and I've been learning a lot."

"We're going to the New Amusement Park tomorrow. Want to come?"

Li Xuezhen shook her head. "I'll pass. I have to go to the firm for my internship tomorrow."

"All right, then. Here's hoping you become a big-name lawyer in the Southern Capital soon!"

Her sweet-looking roommate offered her well wishes.

"Thanks."

Li Xuezhen replied with a smile.

The next day.

Su Bai woke up in the law office.

The original owner of his body had lived at the firm. For convenience, he was staying there for the time being too, mainly to save money.

After a quick wash, Su Bai straightened his clothes and opened the door, only to find Li Xuezhen already standing at the entrance to the office.

"Morning, Lawyer Su."

Li Xuezhen walked into the office, flashing two perfectly formed dimples.

Su Bai was already used to it. She had arrived this early every day lately.

"Lawyer Su, I commented under every one of Lawyer Ye Fei's videos yesterday, but she hasn't responded..."

"Hand me your phone. Let me see your comments."

"Okay, Lawyer Su."

Li Xuezhen handed her phone to Su Bai.

He frowned slightly after reading the comments.

You call this a bitter housewife unhappy with her life?

Li Xuezhen's comment read: Lawyer Ye Fei, I'm a housewife, and my life is miserable. Please help me.

If he were that lawyer, he would not bother replying either. There was nothing compelling about it.

Su Bai deleted all the comments Li Xuezhen had posted, then rapidly typed out a long message in the comments section and posted it.

He handed the phone back to her.

"Copy what I just posted and leave it a few more times. Send her a private message too."

Li Xuezhen's eyes widened as she read the comment.

"Hello, Lawyer Ye Fei. I'm a housewife. My husband earns a million a year and owns three homes in the Southern Capital, plus a large single-floor luxury apartment. His assets total around thirty million. I want a divorce, but I don't want to give up my current lifestyle. I'm really torn, and I wanted to ask if there's anything you can do. Please."

There was even a pleading sticker at the end.

"Lawyer Su, will posting this really work?"

Of course it would.

What did Ye Fei care about when she taught women how to get divorced?

Her legal fees, obviously!

Otherwise, why would she be so generous with her help?!

Charging ten to thirty percent of the sixty-percent share of assets secured in a single case meant hundreds of thousands in legal fees, easily.

Hundreds of thousands per case-wouldn't ten cases bring in millions?!

These divorce lawsuits were easy to handle, too, without much risk. What a sweet deal!

To be honest, even Su Bai was a little tempted.

But taking on cases like these... well, advertising for them could easily land you in trouble.

Before Su Bai could speak, Li Xuezhen exclaimed in surprise, "Lawyer Su, Lawyer Ye Fei replied to my private message!"

That fast?

Su Bai was a little surprised too.

But on second thought, it made sense. After all... someone with thirty million in assets, as described in the comment, was unquestionably a premium client.

"What did she say?"

"She said she could handle my lawsuit, but I have to provide proof of assets first. Once I do, she can add me to her exclusive fan group."

"Ahem."

Su Bai gave two awkward coughs. Proof of assets was a bit of a problem!

Just as he was considering what to do.

Li Xuezhen asked earnestly, "Lawyer Su, I've already been added to her exclusive fan group. What do I do next?"

Su Bai: ???
