After Attorney Feng uttered those words, the room fell into a deathly silence.

Qin Xiang was speechless, her face turning red like a hen with its neck stuck.

what?

Such a famous lawyer is actually Lu Ning's lawyer?

Did she hear wrongly?

Qin Xiang, her face swollen like a pig's head, looked at Gu Yan with a questioning gaze: "Didn't you say that no one dared to take Maple Leaf Company's case?"

How come someone not only took the case, but it was such a famous lawyer!

Gu Yan was even more shocked: "Attorney Feng, did I hear that right? Didn't you stop taking small cases a long time ago?"

Attorney Feng calmly replied, "I was asked to do this."

This can be seen as a further acknowledgment that Lu Ning is the lawyer representing him.

Qin Xiang was extremely unwilling: "Impossible. Lu Ning doesn't know any powerful people in Yunjing, how could she possibly hire Lawyer Feng?"

She looked at Lu Dongyou: "Brother, say something."

Lu Dongyou covered his bruised arm and stared coldly at Lu Ning: "That's right, Attorney Feng is her lawyer."

It has to be admitted that Lu Ning was somewhat lucky.

Qin Xiang was completely heartbroken, and her face burned with pain. All the things she had just said had become a joke.

Lu Ning stared at Qin Xiang: "Pick up my documents!"

Qin Xiang said, looking aggrieved, "I didn't do it on purpose."

"If it wasn't intentional, does that mean you don't have to pick it up?"

Qin Xiang was taken aback, then looked down at Lu Dongyou and said, "Brother, I was just trying to help her."

"Lu Ning, look what you've done to Xiangxiang! This is a courthouse. Do you think you can get away with this?"

Lu Dongyou was just looking for something to use against Lu Ning when she conveniently delivered herself to his doorstep.

Attorney Feng remained calm: "Mr. Lu Dongyou, you must be prepared with evidence. My client acted in self-defense just now, and it was Ms. Qin Xiang who provoked trouble first."

Lu Dongyou was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Attorney Feng would meddle in such trivial matters, and immediately fell silent.

Qin Xiang was a little angry, so she could only pretend to be pitiful to Gu Yan: "I'm in so much pain."

When Gu Yan saw Qin Xiang's miserable face, he immediately lost interest, but he also didn't want to see Lu Ning smug.

Gu Yan said to Attorney Feng, "Attorney Feng, this is a different matter. You're so busy, you shouldn't worry about it."

"This is also my duty."

"How much did my cousin do for you to be so protective of Lu Ning? Could they really be having an affair?!"

The only person Gu Yan could think of was his cousin.

After all, his cousin Gu Zifeng and the heir of the Ji family are close brothers, and the only person who could get Attorney Feng to come and give him face is that person from the Ji family.

Attorney Feng was taken aback; the person who had asked him to represent him in this case was not Gu Zifeng.

It was that person from the Ji family.

Attorney Feng's eyes turned cold: "Young Master Gu, I advise you to watch your words, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."

Gu Yan remembered his cousin's warning and immediately dared not speak.

Attorney Feng looked at Qin Xiang and said, "Ms. Qin, you need to pick up the documents, otherwise we will continue to pursue this matter against you."

Qin Xiang subconsciously looked at Gu Yan, hoping he would plead on her behalf.

"Oh well, what can I do? You did deliberately drop the documents from Lu Ning's hand on the ground, so just pick them up."

Qin Xiang stomped her foot in anger: "Gu Yan!"

This useless man.

She looked at Lu Dongyou again, but he said, "Just pick it up, give Lawyer Feng some face."

After all, this person still has influence in Yunjing.

Furthermore, with the Ji family, a super-rich family, backing them, it's not easy to offend them.

Qin Xiang was so angry that she burst into tears. Why wasn't anyone speaking up for her? She refused to pick up the documents and bow her head to Lu Ning; it was worse than death for her.

Gu Yan tugged at Qin Xiang's clothes: "Lawyer Feng is also very familiar with my mother, please give him some face."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiang reluctantly bent down to pick up the documents.

Lu Ning looked down at Qin Xiang, then glanced at Attorney Feng. It seemed that power really was a good thing.

Thanks to the lawyer friend that Gu Zifeng found.

Qin Xiang picked up the documents with a pitiful expression and casually tossed them to Lu Ning: "Here."

Lu Ning took the documents and glanced at Qin Xiang with a half-smile.

That look drove Qin Xiang almost crazy; this woman was actually mocking her.

hateful!

Lu Ning took the documents and walked outside.

Qin Xiang stood there, so angry that she burst into tears: "Big brother, Lu Ning is bullying us too much!"

Lu Liu, standing to the side, said sarcastically, "Didn't you take the documents from Lu Ning's hand first?"

"But, but I was doing it for her own good."

"Does it really matter if Lu Ning is doing this for her own good, or do we have to knock the documents out of her hand?"

Lu Liu's question left Qin Xiang speechless, and she could only lower her head in grievance.

Seeing this, Lu Dongyou said, "Alright, Sixth Brother, don't speak up for Lu Ning either. She didn't let you off the hook just now either."

Lu Liu gave a bitter smile: "I deserve to have fallen to where I am today, brother. I hope that when you see the true colors of some people in the future, you won't regret it."

Lu Liu finished speaking and left.

Qin Xiang glanced at Lu Liu furtively. Anyway, Lu Liu was facing a lawsuit and his career was ruined, so he had no use for her.

She didn't want to maintain her relationship with Lu Liu, lest she be met with indifference.

Qin Xiang asked, somewhat annoyed, "Gu Yan, what exactly is the relationship between your cousin and Lu Ning?"

“I asked him, and he told me not to meddle in other people’s business.”

At this moment, Gu Yan received a phone call from his mother, who berated him mercilessly.

Gu Yan hung up the phone: "My mom told me to get back home right now, I'm leaving first."

Qin Xiang was so angry at Gu Yan's mama's boy behavior that she almost ground her teeth to powder.

Lu Dongyou asked in surprise, "When did Lu Ning get to know that person from the Gu family?"

Qin Xiang recalled that she had met Gu Yan's cousin in City A, but she hadn't left a good impression on him, and she didn't dare to tell Lu Dongyou.

Qin Xiang had no choice but to lie and say, "I don't know either. It seems that Lu Ning had some ambiguous relationships with men outside of high school. She was dating the school doctor while maintaining an ambiguous relationship with the Gu family's man."

Lu Dongyou became even angrier upon hearing this: "I never expected her private life to be so immoral! It's infuriating! Does she think that by hanging out with those rich kids, she can rise to the top and become a phoenix? Doesn't she even know her own background? How could she marry into the Gu family?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiang's face stiffened. Why couldn't she marry into the family?

She's Gu Yan's girlfriend, and Gu Yan said he wanted to marry her.

Lu Dongyou realized he had said something inappropriate: "Brother wasn't talking about you."

“I know, brother.”

“After all, Gu Yan is different from Gu Zifeng. He doesn’t need to inherit the Gu family, so there’s no problem for you. Your older brother will find a way to help you.”

Qin Xiang was immediately filled with jealousy. Why was she inferior to Lu Ning?

At this moment, Lu Dongyou's secretary walked over: "Mr. Lu, have you found out who the owner of Maple Leaf Company is?"

"Is your surname Gu?"

"No, but Miss Lu Ning's name is on the shareholder list."

Qin Xiang said jealously, "Big brother, could it be that Lu Ning is being kept by Gu Zifeng?"
