Chapter 12 Lawsuit
About half an hour later, Zhang Qin, the younger sister, arrived on the second floor.
"Your mother and that bastard are gone," the aunt said to Zhang Zeyan.
"They've given up already?" Zhang Zeyan asked, somewhat incredulous.
Hearing this, Zhang Qin shook her head. "Giving up is impossible. Your uncle called the police and was taken away by them. That bastard Jiang Yong even threatened to sue us in court."
"Heh, let them sue. I'm not going to go back with them anyway," Zhang Zeyan sneered.
He awakened his memories too late in life.
If he could awaken his memories at the age of 5, he would never have allowed Jiang Yong to beat and scold him for so many years.
The next day, when he got home from school, his aunt and uncle called him into their room.
"Zeyan, your mother has sued us. We received the court summons today..."
Zhang Qin, the aunt, showed Zhang Zeyan an electronic court summons.
Zhang Zeyan took a look and found that it was indeed a court summons.
"Let's find a lawyer. We have the money to hire the best lawyers. We're not afraid of them suing us," Zhang Zeyan said to his aunt.
"Yes, we should hire a lawyer," the aunt nodded.
The next day was the weekend, and Zhang Qin hired a lawyer to come to her home.
"Ms. Xiang, according to the law, it's probably very difficult to win this case," the lawyer said to Zhang Qin after learning the situation.
"Why?" Zhang Qin asked, puzzled.
Not only Zhang Qin was puzzled, but Chen Hongtao and Zhang Zeyan also didn't quite understand.
"Because Luo Wenjing is Zhang Zeyan's biological mother and only guardian, Zhang Zeyan, as a child, must stay with his biological mother."
"But that Jiang Yong abused my nephew; he almost beat him to death before..."
"This does not prevent the biological mother from exercising guardianship. Federal law section 1224 states that the biological parents are the sole guardians of their minor children, and no other person may contest guardianship with them. This is mainly to prevent situations where grandparents or maternal grandparents fight for custody of the child after one of the parents has passed away..."
"So, based on this one law, you can't win this case. Zhang Zeyan's guardianship will definitely remain with Luo Wenjing, and no one can take it away," the lawyer said to everyone.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zeyan quickly replied, "What if I strongly object?"
"You're only 12 years old, your objection is invalid."
"But Jiang Yong used to abuse me and even beat me severely."
"This is not enough to win the case. Your guardian will still be your mother, Luo Wenjing," the lawyer told Zhang Zeyan.
"What if I insist on not going with them? Can they force me to go with them?" Zhang Zeyan asked, frowning.
Hearing this, the lawyer paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said, "If what you're saying is true, it really can be done."
"Although Luo Wenjing is your guardian, and no one can refute that, if you insist on not going back to Canglan Star with them, they really can't do anything about it."
"Of course, that's on the condition that if they force you, your aunt and uncle can help you prevent them from taking you away by force," the lawyer said to Zhang Zeyan.
"We will definitely not let them take my nephew away," Zhang Qin quickly stated.
Hearing this, the lawyer said, "You can't get a guardianship, but as long as the child doesn't want to leave, you just need to prevent the child from being forcibly taken away. In that case, they can't do anything to you."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qin and Chen Hongtao both smiled.
Zhang Qin was very happy that her nephew didn't have to leave.
For Chen Hongtao, Zhang Zeyan was a valuable investment, and he would never tolerate Zhang Zeyan being taken away by someone else.
With the lawyer's advice, everyone felt relieved.
"Let's hire two bodyguards to protect Zeyan closely and prevent those two from taking advantage of the situation," Chen Hongtao suggested to his wife, Zhang Qin.
Hearing her husband's words, Zhang Qin thought for a moment and then nodded: "Okay."
She and her husband, Chen Hongtao, couldn't possibly stay by Zhang Zeyan's side all day long.
If that couple were to take advantage of Zhang Zeyan while they were away and try to forcibly take him away, then it would be too late for them to regret it.
The next day, Uncle Chen Hongtao found a security company and hired two bodyguards to protect Zhang Zeyan's safety at all times.
The bodyguard had only one task: to prevent anyone from forcibly taking Zhang Zeyan away.
The court hearing is scheduled for ten days.
Over the next ten days, Jiang Yong and Luo Wenjing came to the house twice more and caused trouble, but Zhang Qin called the police and drove them away each time.
Ten days later, the court formally opened the trial, and Zhang Zeyan, as a key person, also appeared in court.
After a court hearing, things turned out exactly as the lawyer had predicted: Luo Wenjing was still Zhang Zeyan's guardian.
However, as soon as the court hearing ended, Zhang Zeyan went home with his aunt and uncle, completely ignoring his biological mother Luo Wenjing and Jiang Yong.
Although the court ruled that Luo Wenjing would remain Zhang Zeyan's guardian, Zhang Zeyan refused to go with his guardian, and the court could do nothing about it.
The court can't just let Luo Wenjing forcibly take Zhang Zeyan away, can it?
Moreover, after learning about Luo Wenjing and Jiang Yong's situation, the court staff had no goodwill towards the couple.
Especially after learning that Jiang Yong frequently abused Zhang Zeyan and had even seriously injured him, he felt even less liking for him.
If it weren't for the law stipulating that the guardianship rights of biological parents cannot be revoked, they would have really wanted to award Zhang Zeyan to his aunt, Zhang Qin.
Therefore, after the court hearing, Zhang Zeyan did not follow Luo Wenjing and Jiang Yong, and the court staff did not bother to care.
Jiang Yong was furious that he hadn't been able to take Zhang Zeyan with him after winning the lawsuit.
In contrast to Jiang Yong, Luo Wenjing remained calm in the face of this situation.
Zhang Zeyan is his biological son, and his aunt's family is clearly living a better life.
As a mother, she also hopes that her son will have a better life.
She wouldn't have wanted to go to court if her current husband hadn't insisted that she take her son back.
"It's all your fault. You're a completely useless mother."
Outside the courthouse, Jiang Yongqi, in a fit of rage, slapped Luo Wenjing across the face.
After being slapped, Luo Wenjing simply lowered her head and shed tears without saying a word.
She has a very gentle personality and chooses to endure being bullied by others.
If her mother had been more assertive, Zhang Zeyan wouldn't have been bullied by Jiang Yong so badly in the past.
……
A few days later, Zhang Qin received another court summons.
"Luo Wenjing and Jiang Yong have sued us again."
That evening, after Zhang Zeyan returned home from school, his aunt Zhang Qin told him about the incident in front of Zhang Zeyan and his husband Chen Hongtao.
"What are you suing us for this time?" Chen Hongtao asked his wife.
"They say we cheated Zeyan out of his money and are demanding that we return it," Zhang Qin replied.
"Auntie, that song is in your name, both in terms of copyright and account. They can't win even if they sue," Zhang Zeyan said to his aunt.
Because Zhang Zeyan is a minor, he cannot register accounts on various online platforms. Therefore, the copyright of his songs and the songs themselves are registered under the name of his aunt, Zhang Qin.
It can be said that as long as Zhang Qin herself does not admit it and Zhang Zeyan does not refute it, the court has no way to rule that this is not her work.
