Cheng Ye and Gu Kuangyong walked to the front door, and the servant drove the car over. He Zhi Lei was waiting at the door. When he saw Cheng Ye come out, he stepped forward and said, "Lawyer Cheng, I have some matters I want to consult with you."

"What is it?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

He Zhi Lei said, "It’s a rather complicated case. Besides Lawyer Cheng, I can’t find anyone else who can help me."

Cheng Ye said, "Let’s schedule a time tomorrow." We can’t discuss it at the door.

He Zhi Lei pleaded, "It is really urgent. I hope Lawyer Cheng can help."

Gu Kuangyuan tightened her coat. Cheng Ye noticed her action, opened the passenger door to let his wife into the car first, and said, "Give me a moment."

Gu Kuangyuan got into the car, "Hm, you guys talk, no rush."

Cheng Ye closed the car door and walked under a big tree with He Zhi Lei. There was no coverage around here. He Zhi Lei made sure no one was around before speaking, "This is an economic dispute. There was a problem with the financing of the contract between me and Senye. I followed Yin Handedong’s advice without knowing it, and lent a large amount of money as well as bought shares in a subsidiary of Senye. I just found out two days ago that I had signed a capital entrust agreement. I don’t know if Yin Handedong used my name to spend my money for... I wanted to withdraw the investment, but it’s too late now. Yin Handedong said that if I withdraw, he could accuse me of disrupting the stock market anytime."

"I want to contact President Gu, but if President Gu finds out about these disputes, he definitely won’t help me. He might even accelerate my current predicament... Lawyer Cheng, please analyze this for me. What are the chances of winning a lawsuit? Any amount of litigation fees is not an issue. I’m old, my daughter is still young, I don’t seek to leave a substantial inheritance for her, I just don’t want to burden her and have people say she has a father with an economic crime stain!"

"Lawyer Cheng, I’ve had my secretary look for you many times. The secretary said you were not in the country and couldn’t be reached. Meeting you here tonight is my turning point, please help me!"

Cheng Ye roughly listened to the process, "I’ve dealt with many economic crime cases, all based on evidence and figures. Just based on a few words from you, I can’t estimate the chances of winning."

He Zhi Lei saw hope, "Lawyer Cheng, does that mean you are willing to take this case?" As long as Cheng Ye is willing to take it, it will definitely be a win.

Cheng Ye did not promise, "We’ll talk in a few days. I’m not with the Gu Family now. If this case implicates the Gu Family, I can’t take it."

He Zhi Lei quickly explained, "No, no, it has nothing to do with the Gu Family. I know you’ve left the Gu Family, this doesn’t affect it, right?"

"It’s hard to say. I know how extensive the Gu Family’s business is. So tomorrow, I’ll go to your office. Prepare all contracts, fund transactions, everything related, carefully review the scene of the signing tonight—time, place, witnesses—do not overlook any detail. We’ll discuss in detail tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, Lawyer Cheng, I’m counting on you."

"I haven’t agreed to take this case yet, don’t thank me too soon." He won’t fight a battle he’s not confident in. Once he takes it, he must win.

Cheng Ye thought, although this case is tricky, it’s the best challenge to establish his reputation after leaving the Gu Family.

If he wins this case, his position in the legal field will be more solid than before, and it won’t matter whether he is part of the Gu Family.

Many law firms are offering him olive branches now. His plan is to cooperate with a well-known law firm, first become a partner, then use their resources to quickly establish his own power system. This is the fastest way to achieve his goals in a short time.

The threshold of the Gu Family is too high. He doesn’t want Xiao Yuan to feel wronged marrying him.

Gu Kuangyuan watched them from the car. She didn’t know what they were talking about but they looked very serious.

After a long time, Cheng Ye returned to the car. Gu Kuangyuan asked, "Did you encounter a tricky case?"

Cheng Ye said, "Not too tricky. I haven’t decided to take it yet."

Gu Kuangyuan doesn’t understand legal issues. In the United States, helping him review documents and find cases is already a headache. She has no interest in those dry legal terms.

Living with him until now, she admired Cheng Ye more and more. Domestic laws are very complex, and he is still familiar with the Anglo-American legal system. He can reference cases effortlessly. She really suspects his brain is made of machines with amazing memory.

Gu Kuangyuan greatly admires her husband. He gives her a sense of security. So, for him, she can give up everything provided by the Gu Family.

She leaned on Cheng Ye’s shoulder. Being with him, she always felt stable and secure.

Cheng Ye drove the car towards the city. Gu Kuangyuan suddenly leaned closer. He turned his head to look at her, "Are you sleepy?"

"No, you concentrate on driving, don’t mind me. I just want to be closer to you."

Gu Kuangyuan is distant from anyone else, but in front of him, she acts like a child.

Cheng Ye freed a hand to touch her cheek, "Xiao Yuan, I’ll be busy in a few days."

"It’s okay. If you need to work overtime, I’ll accompany you overtime."

Cheng Ye held her small hand, "Xiao Yuan, I will make sure elder brother genuinely accepts us, definitely."

An Junxi returned to the house. The servants were orderly cleaning. Mrs. He took the two children upstairs. Liang Huiyun and Gu Kuangyong sat in the hall.

"Jun Xi, come over."

An Junxi went over nervously. She did many things wrong tonight, and her mother-in-law should be less satisfied.

Gu Yikun sat next to his wife and said, "It’s late now. Mom and Dad should go back and rest early."

He looked like he was protecting his wife and started to send the guests away.

Liang Huiyun was indeed dissatisfied with An Junxi’s performance tonight. Seeing her son protect An Junxi like this, she nudged Gu Kuangyong’s waist with her elbow to let him speak first.

Gu Kuangyong coughed. He was always more tolerant of An Junxi.

He said, "Things were a bit chaotic tonight. Even if there were unexpected situations, you should have stopped it from the beginning to prevent things from escalating... uh, Tao Manqiu is unreasonable by nature, can’t blame you."

The more Liang Huiyun listened, the more it felt wrong. Why was he speaking on behalf of An Junxi?

She hit her husband’s arm. Gu Kuangyong hurriedly concluded, "It’s your first time hosting a banquet. It’s understandable that you are unfamiliar. Just be more careful next time."

Liang Huiyun hit her leg. She wanted him to speak first, not to say these things!

Gu Kuangyong pulled her up, "Let’s go back and rest too. We’ll come see Ai Xi and Jin Xiu in a few days."

An Junxi was very grateful for her father’s tolerance. She sincerely thanked the two elders, "I still have a lot to learn, I need to learn more from Mom."

Liang Huiyun, feeling vain, liked to hear such words. An Junxi’s two sentences smoothed her over, "It’s good that you know." She didn’t scold anymore.
