Ruibao's little hands deftly unlocked the screen on the computer.

However, he did all of this behind Jian He's back. Only after Jian He left his side did Rui Bao's anxious heart finally settle down.

The following day, after dropping Ruibao off at school, Jian He went directly to the law firm that Cheng Yan had previously run in Nanluo City.

Since Cheng Yan wasn't there, Jian He followed his instructions and went to find Cheng Yan's assistant, Gao Xiang.

Because of Cheng Yan's instructions, Gao Xiang did not dare to mistreat Jian He.

After serving Jian He tea, Gao Xiang started talking to her.

"Miss Jian, is there something you need to tell me today?" Gao Xiang knew Jian He's importance in Cheng Yan's heart. As an assistant, he maintained absolute respect for the woman his boss liked.

After some thought, Jian He said to him, "I need a really great lawyer..."

Gao Xiang tilted his head and asked, "Are you going to be your company's legal counsel?"

Jian He shook her head: "No, it's that I want to file a lawsuit. Look, here's all the information."

Jian He placed the prepared materials in front of Gao Xiang. While Gao Xiang was looking at these materials, Jian He simply gave him a brief account of the situation.

"Assistant Gao, you should know that after I helped my ex-husband Yin Muqiao get the position of president of the Jian Group, I founded a very small clothing company."

"When the company was first established, we were short-staffed and had limited funds, so we couldn't hire very good and high-end designers. Therefore, I personally designed some clothes myself."

"Some of the clothes I designed were produced and circulated well in the market. Others were not produced in time because I was going to divorce Yin Muqiao. However, I had already filed the designs under the pseudonym Ling Yezi."

"Now, I've discovered that a clothing company in Beijing has been secretly producing and selling the clothes I designed, which constitutes an infringement of my rights. Therefore, I'm going to sue this company."

At first, Gao Xiang didn't take Jian He's words seriously, but when he saw the name of the company that Jian He wanted to sue, Gao Xiang couldn't help but gasp.

That company actually belonged to Zuo Feng.

"Miss Jian, could there be some misunderstanding here?" Gao Xiang wiped the sweat from his face and tentatively asked Jian He.

Jian He looked at him and said, "If there's any misunderstanding, you should contact this company. My designs have been registered with the relevant departments, so this lawsuit won't be difficult."

"Assistant Gao, I'm open to negotiation, but whether or not we should pursue this lawsuit depends on the other party's attitude."

Gao Xiang understood Jian He's meaning. Given the relationship between Zuo Feng and Cheng Yan, Jian He didn't want to make things too outrageous.

However, this matter still needs to be resolved.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Xiang said, "Alright, Miss Jian, I'll arrange this right away."

Jian He nodded, picked up her small bag, and left.

Shortly after Jian He left, Gao Xiang called Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan was probably busy, as he didn't answer the phone until it had been ringing for a long time.

"Mr. Cheng, there's something I need to report to you."

"Ms. Jian came to our law firm and said she needed my help to find a lawyer to fight a lawsuit against Zuo Feng's Zuo An Clothing. Ms. Jian said that Zuo An Clothing stole her design and that it was an infringement."

After Gao Xiang finished speaking, Cheng Yan on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment.

What do you think the facts are?

Lawsuits are all about the facts. After Jian He met with Zuo Feng that night, he felt that there might be some minor issues between Jian He and Zuo Feng.

I never expected it to be like this.

Gao Xiang glanced at the documents Jian He had brought over and said, "Based on the information provided by Miss Jian, the evidence should be conclusive."

"In that case, arrange a good lawyer for her to take on this case." Cheng Yan instructed Gao Xiang without hesitation.

Gao Xiang hesitated.

He stammered, "But, Mr. Cheng, that's Mr. Zuo's company... If the old man finds out things have gotten this bad, I'm afraid..."

Gao Xiang was also worried about Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan and Zuo Feng are stepbrothers, and their family structure is quite unique. If the two of them start fighting, the only person caught in the middle will be the old man.

Without hesitation, Cheng Yan said, "So what if it's President Zuo's company? He plagiarized someone else's work, so he'll have to pay some price eventually."

"Besides, even if the old man finds out, he'll have to side with the truth. I run a law firm, I'm in business. Jian He trusted our firm, that's why she entrusted us with this case. You just need to make the arrangements."

Cheng Yan's instructions were clear, and Gao Xiang had no choice but to follow them. He arranged for a lawyer to go to the Jian Group to find Jian He to sign a contract and take on the case.

Ding Qing, who had just joined Cheng Yan Law Firm, complained to Gao Xiang in a somewhat provocative manner when she learned that Cheng Yan had instructed Gao Xiang to take on the case.

"Assistant Gao, President Cheng actually turned against President Zuo for a divorced woman? This Jian He really knows how to stir up trouble."

Without giving a reason, Ding Qing blamed all the mistakes on Jian He.

In her view, Jian He's lawsuit only exacerbated the misunderstanding between Cheng Yan and Zuo Feng, the two stepbrothers.

Gao Xiang's face visibly darkened.

Ding Qing continued to complain.

"This woman has been a simp for so many years, her reputation is already ruined. I really don't know how our CEO Cheng could have fallen for her and treat her like a treasure in his palm. He has made concessions at every step for her sake."

Ding Qing's words aroused Gao Xiang's absolute dissatisfaction.

He stopped in his tracks and looked at Ding Qing with icy eyes.

"Miss Ding, I had no idea that the boss's private life was something you could interfere with?"

"Even if Miss Jian is divorced, it's Mr. Cheng's choice to be with her. What does it have to do with you?"

"It's Mr. Cheng's business if he's willing to make concessions for Miss Jian. I've already warned you not to meddle. If Mr. Cheng hears what you've said, you know what the consequences will be."

After cursing at Ding Qing, Gao Xiang turned and left.

Having been scolded, Ding Qing was naturally not going to give up so easily.

She took out her phone and sent a message to her mother, Ding Wenzhu.

[Mom, can you please get your dog to move a little faster? He can't even handle a woman? What's the point of having him?]
