There was only one desk lamp on in the room.

The warm yellow light illuminates the small area at the head of the bed.

Tanqiu lay obediently in the doghouse on the bay window, wagging his little tail .

Wen Yuhua picked up the "Digest of Civil Law" on the bedside table. She has recently been studying the origins of European law.

The Corpus Juris Civilis was compiled by Justinian, the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, and had a very important influence on the development of jurisprudence and law in various European countries.

She was so engrossed in watching that the cell phone on the table started vibrating.

Then, it vibrated again and again, several times in a row.

Wen Yuhua frowned.

I picked up the phone and saw a payment message from the bank.

From one hundred thousand to one million, the total number of these text messages is already a considerable number.

The phone continued to vibrate as money continued to flow into her account.

Without even thinking about it, she suppressed her anger and dialed a phone number, "Did you do this on purpose?"

The man spoke slowly, and after a long while his voice finally came out, "What is it?"

"Why did you transfer money to me for no reason?!"

"Isn't it natural for a man to earn money to support his wife?"

The Bentley stopped on the red carpet in front of the castle.

The magnificent and glorious castle is as dreamy as a fairy tale. The sentry standing guard at the gate wears a plaid skirt that best represents Scottish tradition, a black brimless hat on his head, and a sharp dagger hanging around his waist.

Wan He handed the invitation to the bearded man in formal attire at the door and explained his purpose in fluent and authentic British English.

The bearded man glanced at Lin Hechuan and hurriedly invited the two of them in.

The hall is decorated with exquisite sculptures and splendid stained glass that reflects colorful lights.

Lin Hechuan looked around and turned his attention back to the phone in his hand.

"Lin Hechuan, do you know that belated love is cheaper than grass?"

The light was dazzling, so Wen Yuhua reached out and pinched the switch to dim the light.

The little black dog on the bay window yawned, lay lazily in the doghouse, and wagged its tail slower and slower.

"So don't do these useless things anymore." Wen Yuhua said, "I'll transfer the money to you later. I don't need it."

"Whether you don't need it is your business, and what I give is my business," Lin Hechuan picked up the wine glass and walked to the terrace of the ancient castle. His pair of black eyes looked indifferently at the wide river rushing forward not far away, and he raised his hand to take a sip of the liquid in the glass.

"Yuhua, you have been wronged for so many years."

The man's deep, hoarse voice floated across the ocean, across the mountains and hills, and fell into the woman's ears through the thin cell phone.

These few words were like a mysterious spell to open the Moonlight Box. The grievances hidden in the heart for many years poured out, overflowed over the surface of the heart, flowed along the blood vessels into the lungs, and blocked the interconnected alveoli tightly.

Suffocating and sour.

Wen Yuhua kept silent.

It was not until the man finished the wine in his glass that he heard the woman on the other end utter five words.

"You're crazy—"

Wen Yuhua pressed the hang-up button and threw the phone aside, but her heart was in turmoil and she couldn't calm down.

After thinking about it, she picked up her phone again and blocked and deleted the man's number.

Men who are sweet-talking and unfaithful should be put on the blacklist!

The next morning, Wen Yuhua arrived at the law firm on time with dark circles under her eyes.

As soon as she sat down, she felt that the atmosphere was inexplicably strange.

Lin Youyou poked her and pursed her lips, " Feng Chaoyang is going crazy in there. I don't know why, but several people have been called in. You better be careful and don't offend him."

Wen Yuhua nodded, but before she could say anything, she heard the sound of porcelain breaking coming from Feng Chaoyang 's office.

“Get out!”

A roar was heard, and the new paralegal ran away with a pale face.

He had just graduated and was humiliated in public . He felt mixed emotions and his eyes were a little red.

While everyone was stunned , Feng Chaoyang knocked on the window and glanced at Wen Yuhua, "Lawyer Wen, come in for a moment."

Lin Youyou felt something was wrong, so she lowered her head and reminded him, "Be careful."

Wen Yuhua patted her shoulder, nodded, and walked into Feng Chaoyang's office.

"Lawyer Feng, you want to see me?"

"Close the door."

Feng Chaoyang picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

"Lawyer Wen, I heard that you rejected Miss Ye's commission?" Feng Chaoyang held his eyes and said in a bad tone, "Miss Ye is a big client introduced by the higher-ups, and she is also related to the Lin family in the imperial capital. Who told you to reject her without authorization?"

"Lawyer Feng, it's my freedom to take on any case I want. Besides, I made it clear to you and Miss Ye at the time, and they have already found a new lawyer, so it won't affect the law firm."

Feng Chaoyang 's tone became even more stern, "You caused the law firm to lose a big client, did you know that?!"

He didn't expect Wen Yuhua to really turn down the case.

As long as he could handle this case successfully, he would be able to establish a relationship with the Lin family in the imperial capital. As long as he could establish a relationship with the Lin family, he would be able to make a name for himself in the circle of wealthy people.

With such a good opportunity, what fool would not take this case?

But what he couldn't imagine was that Wen Yuhua was a fool.

He could have used Wen Yuhua's case to get Li Yutong a permanent position and improve his own position in the law firm, but unfortunately all of this has now come to nothing.

Wen Yuhua frowned and retorted, "Lawyer Feng, I told you a long time ago that I would turn down this case, so why didn't you say anything at the time? Now that things have happened, you blame me instead. Do you want to reflect on yourself?"

Wen Yuhua has been in a bad mood recently and has been speaking more aggressively.

"What are you talking about!" Feng Chaoyang slammed the table and stood up, pointing at her with a frown, "Are you saying that this is my fault?"

Wen Yuhua turned her head away, "That's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean!"

Feng Chaoyang scolded, "I'm telling you, you must, must invite Ye Xi, this important client, back to me, or you can stop working here!"

Feng Chaoyang was so angry that his face turned red and saliva spurted out as he spoke .

Wen Yuhua glanced at him calmly and said, "Lawyer Feng, even if you fire me, I will not take this case."

She pursed her lips and her eyes became more determined.

Feng Chaoyang was furious, "Get out!"

Wen Yuhua turned and left without saying another word.

When I came out, Li Yutong was standing at the door of the office.

"You got scolded, didn't you?" Li Yutong crossed his arms, looking very proud. "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are powerful. Remember, there are people above you who are suppressing you."

Wen Yuhua sneered, "Why are you so happy? Even if I leave Gongyan, I can still find a job in other law firms because I am capable. And if you leave Feng Chaoyang , do you think you can still survive?"

"He wanted me to take this case so much, the main purpose is to let me take you to handle the case, right?" Wen Yuhua glanced at her , "When the time comes, you will have such a big case in your hands, at least you can avoid the layoffs at the end of the year. But I turned down Ye Xi's case, and his plan fell through, so why are you so happy?"

Wen Yuhua slowly approached her and said calmly, "The most precious thing for a person is to know himself, but it's a pity that you don't have it."

Li Yutong couldn't think of so many things. She was just happy to see Wen Yuhua being scolded, but after Wen Yuhua said this.

This matter seems to be very important, then...

Without thinking any more, she rushed into Feng Chaoyang 's office and closed the door.
