After lazing there for a while, he started ranting to the two of them.
“Those two loose-lipped twerps! Despite being lawyers, they don’t even know how to keep their mouths shut! What kind of lawyers are they!? What if they leak their clients’ information one day?! I’m going to report them both! “The two of them leaked the news that I was here! Now I’m hara.s.sed by calls an uay:
“But forget the hara.s.sment. Good lord, when I came out of the police station, a group of people rushed over. And they were all from the capital! They said they wanted to hire me as a lawyer! F*ck! Is this how you hire someone?! They even tore my clothes!
“Argh! I’m so p.i.s.sed!”
The two of them tilted their heads to take a look. It was true—there were a few holes in his suit. They had simply not noticed it.
Lu Ning found it too comical and could not help but laugh.
Gu Cheng immediately glared at her as he stiffened upright like a Chinese zombie. “You still have the cheek to laugh!’ His voice even cracked when he spoke.
Lu Ning pursed her lips, but could not hold it in.
“It’s all your fault. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have come out of hiding! They all came to look for me because of this! I don’t even owe them anything!
“He could have just found another lawyer for his divorce case, but he had to find me! He probably has a lot of evidence in his wife’s hands.
“And that embezzler. If you f*cking embezzled, why should I bother to be your lawyer?!
“The most ridiculous thing is that there’s some rumormonger who wants to sue someone. He seems to be from here. Is there something wrong with his brain? Why would I accept such a simple case? It wasn’t easy for me to catch a break for two years, and now they’re annoying me again! I’m so irritated!” Gu Cheng lay down again.
Gu Chen could not help but ask, “Might that rumormonger be surnamed Sun?”
Gu Cheng thought for a moment. “That seems to be the case. Why? Do you know him? How about I sell you guys a favor?”
Gu Chen looked at him and smiled. “If you accept this, you’ll probably be stepping on your own foot.”
“Huh? why?”
“That rumormonger’s the one who started the rumor about Ningning. It was all over the media a few days ago. Didn’t you go online?”
“What?!” Gu Cheng sat up again. “Wait, let me take a look! That rumormonger… Baby, just you wait. If I don’t sue the pants off them, I’ll be letting my reputation down!
Lu Ning smiled and moved about. “There’s no need, it’s been cleared up already, and now it seems like they can’t even protect themselves.”
Gu Chen walked to the side to get his things. “I guess they heard that a big-name lawyer like yourself is here, so he wants to make a last-ditch effort and begged you, hoping his family could turn the tables.”
“I’m going to cla.s.s.”
“Okay, remember to come by after school. I’ll check your wound.”
“Got it.”
After Lu Ning left, Gu Cheng held his phone as he browsed through the posts and understood what went down.
At the end, his face darkened.
He turned to look at Gu Chen and said faintly, “You really aren’t telling me anything.”
Gu Chen turned around and sat behind the table. “What’s the point of telling you? Ningning already has evidence.”
Gu Cheng was unhappy. “But you can’t just let her get slammed like this. Don’t you feel sorry for her? I know I do.”
Gu Chen sighed. “Of course I did, but it’s useless. Besides, these experiences are good for her too, don’t you think? You think there’ll be fewer rumors when she goes back? I reckon the gossip about her won’t be as mild as these.”
Gu Cheng slapped the sofa angrily. “They wouldn’t dare! With us protecting her, we’ll see what they dare to say!’
Gu Chen looked at Gu Cheng and said seriously, “If she’s going to lead the entire Rose Manor, she can’t always be under our protection. She needs to become stronger herself..”
