On this side, Bai Duan Duan got a reimbursement promise from Ji Lin, and immediately became very happy. On the other hand, Tang Li and Tian Mu had just finished arguing on the phone and were feeling quite upset.
When Tang Li came back and saw Xiao Rui and her boyfriend looking very intimate, her feelings of resentment and disappointment grew even stronger.
Seeing the expression on Tang Li’s face when she returned, Bai Duan Duan knew that the time was right. She suppressed her own emotions and looked at Tang Li with concern, asking, “What’s wrong with you, Pear? Did you have a fight with your husband?”
Tang Li wears her emotions on her face and doesn’t try to hide anything, “Yes, just look at him, he never knows how to accompany me…”
Once the box of words was opened, it was difficult to put them back. Tang Li couldn’t resist and started to complain about Tian Mu. Although she complained about Tian Mu not accompanying her while shopping, it wasn’t really the reason. After all, Tian Mu wasn’t as handsome as her Xiao Rui’s husband, and when she went out with Tian Mu, she often tried to hide and not be seen. Tang Li knew in her heart that what she really wanted was for Tian Mu to give her more money so she could have a completely carefree life. She felt dissatisfied that Tian Mu couldn’t provide her with enough money to live the life she wanted. Tang Li knew that she was surrounded by men who were better than Tian Mu, and she regretted marrying him so early without experiencing more of the world. Now that she was married, she also knew that if she divorced Tian Mu and wanted to marry one of those men, it would be impossible because their families wouldn’t accept a second marriage.
However, she couldn’t express such dark thoughts to a third party, so she vented her negative energy by complaining about how Tian Mu didn’t accompany her.
Bai Dandian saw that Tang Li’s emotions were almost vented, and there was a tendency to lose control, so she knew she had to push things along.
She gently patted Tang Li’s back and said, “Lizi, actually, there’s something I’m not sure whether to say or not. Last time I heard Monica say, I don’t know if it’s true or not, but she said that your husband doesn’t work and just plays games at home all day, and the money you spend is all earned by yourself. Your husband… he just relies on your love for him to feel justified in not working and relying on you to support him…”
Once the conversation started, Bai Duan Duan felt more comfortable speaking up, “After I heard what Monica said, I actually feel sorry for you. You have such excellent qualifications, you don’t need to find a free meal ticket like your husband.” She sighed and praised Tang Li, “You’re too emotional. You and your husband have probably had deep feelings for each other for many years, but his behavior is just not acceptable. Men should have a sense of responsibility, their own work and career…”
After hearing what Bai Duan Duan said, Tang Li felt both wronged and angry: “I heard before that someone was spreading rumors behind my back, and now I finally know who it is! Monica is so two-faced, always saying grapes are sour when she can’t get them. It was her who spread rumors that my husband is an unemployed vagrant. In fact, my husband does have a job!”
Sure enough, she was hooked…
Bai DuanDuan had already figured out that Tang Li was the type of person who cared a lot about saving face and would definitely refute any accusations. Sure enough, Tang Li was very angry and said, “Monica is crazy! She meddles too much. She’s just jealous of me. Xiao Rui, do you know what? She’s the one who can’t judge people clearly. She dated a former boyfriend who pretended to be wealthy! He actually owed a lot of debt behind the scenes and was a fraud. Besides Monica, he had five other girlfriends. He claimed to be working in finance, but in fact he was just a middle school graduate scammer! He’s already married with two kids in his rural hometown! In the end, Monica was blind and only thought about marrying into a wealthy family, but she was cheated out of her money and body by that fraudster!”
Bai DuanDuan wasn’t interested in Monica’s dark past, so she carefully guided the conversation, “So, your husband isn’t really a freeloader like Monica claimed? Does he give you all your money? But Monica said that you usually use your own credit card, and she’s never seen you use your husband’s supplementary card under his name…”
Tang Li was about to explode with anger, “She should mind her own business! My husband has a job in game research and development and doesn’t need to go to the office. He can work from home and it’s very convenient with email, phone calls, and video conferences. Playing games is also part of his job, and it’s completely different from those who waste their time playing games all day. I didn’t use his card because his salary is directly deposited into my account!”
Bai DuanDuan looked at Ji Lin, and both of them had a sudden realization.
Tang Li finally spoke up! Her portable recording pen also finally came in handy!
“Tang Li, so your husband does have a job, but he works from home, right?”
Tang Li nodded and said, “Yes, he just left his previous company and now has a rather special job nature. Many freelancers are like this, they have a free working environment but earn a lot of money. Monica is two-faced and shameless. She flatters me a lot in front of me, but every time she updates her Taobao store, she begs me to promote her on Weibo and bring traffic to her!”
In order for audio evidence to be effective, in addition to obtaining it legally, there must be clear identification of the speakers and the content must be clear, objective, truthful, and coherent. Additionally, there should be no editing or forgery. In order to make audio evidence as convincing as possible and eliminate any doubts, the best way is to provide accompanying video evidence.
Not long after Tang Li returned with an unhappy face, Bai Duan Duan gave Ji Lin a displeased look. Ji Lin immediately and tacitly opened the mini-camera he carried with him.
Having both audio and video evidence would make it more convincing.
At this moment, Tang Li’s heart was completely filled with anger, and he didn’t even notice the actions of “Xiao Rui’s boyfriend”.
Bai Duan Duan joined in and cursed Monica a few times, then began to tactfully guide the conversation, “So you use your own card because your husband takes the money from the company and then hands it over to you?” Bai Duan Duan deliberately glanced at Ji Lin, then lowered his voice and kindly advised, “But let me remind you, when it comes to men’s money, unless you can see their payslips, who knows if they have a secret stash, or if they really transfer all their salary to you every month? I always ask men to show me their payslips. Don’t let your husband fool you. Men, you know, if they have extra money and time on their hands, who knows what they might be doing outside…”
Tang Li had no defensive thoughts and said confidently, “I’m not afraid of that.” The topic had finally turned to something that made her hold her head up with confidence. “Let me tell you a secret. My husband’s salary is directly paid to me by his company. He has no chance to skim off the top or keep a secret stash. He is devoted to me and loves me with all his heart.”
Afterwards, Tang Li couldn’t help but boast about her skills in managing her husband. Although she looks pretty, she’s actually quite shallow and easy to understand. She’s vain, loves to show off, greedy, and thinks she’s smart…
If Tian Mu didn’t marry someone like her, someone who is even a little cautious, he wouldn’t have been caught so easily…
But regardless, Bai Duan Duan and Ji Lin have completed their evidence collection today. With this audio and video evidence, they now have sufficient reason to apply for an investigation order from the arbitration committee and access Tang Li’s bank records. Bai Duan Duan is confident that they will find evidence of Tang Li’s shady dealings with Mercury Network in her bank records.
